October Monthly Meeting

ARPA Downtown and Kingshighway Traffic Calming Improvements

Presented By: Chris Beard, Kelly Schaefer, Danielle Strothmann

Lochmueller Group worked closely with the City of St. Louis to deliver over $10M in traffic calming and safety improvements in Downtown St. Louis and on Kingshighway. These projects included both traffic study and design phases, aggressive schedules, and engagement with many important and passionate stakeholders. Challenges were overcome with well-designed and executed plans, being attentive to client and stakeholder updates and needs, and teams working together across disciplines to accomplish project goals.

A Message From The President

Welcome to Gateway ITE!

Welcome to the Gateway Section ITE home page!  We have a lot of exciting events happening in the next few weeks.  On Tuesday, September 17th, we will be hosting our monthly meeting in Collinsville, Illinois at the IDOT District 8 Office to be a little closer to our Illinois members.  The next week on Thursday, September 19th, we will be hosting the GSITE Partners Golf Classic at the Falls Golf Club in O’Fallon, Missouri.  It should be a very fun day and will support several very good charities! 

Also, we will be holding an election for an open Board member position soon.  Nominations are now open with the election in early November.  You can email a Board member if you would like to nominate someone or you can even nominate yourself for the open Board position.

As part of MOVITE’s Strategic Plan, the Board has identified various task forces to improve the operations and goals of our organization. These task forces and subsequent committees will allow members to engage in and become involved in the District in specific areas of interest without a huge time commitment.

(1) Young Member Outreach and Retention Task Force: This task force will create a committee to explore and recommend strategies for improved Young Member outreach, engagement, and retention. It is presumed that this committee will also work in collaboration with MOVITE student initiatives.

(2) Local Arrangements/Technical Meeting Task Force: This task force will create a committee to assist with conference planning in order to allow better quality, more strategic, and more intensive meetings while allowing the LAC to focus on venue, tours, social events, etc.

(3) Awards and Recognition Task Force: This task force will work to create a committee that will develop strategies to generate excitement and emotion around the District awards for both professional members and student members in hopes to increase the number of submissions.

If you would like to volunteer for one of these task forces, please email MOVITE President Kendra Miller at kmiller@gbateam.com and specify which task force(s) you would like to join.
