Overall Impact

Family Sports Park Expansion

$2,697,000

Retain - 87, New - 24

Construct four multi-use baseball/softball fields in the Family Sports Park which will allow the facility to host national tournaments bringing additional tourism dollars to the Metro-East St. Louis area.

Old Collinsville Road Reconstruction

$2,725,500

Retain - 73, New - 23

The development of the housing subdivisions that are platted along the route and to the north is impacted by the old farm to field type road that is in existence presently. With increased housing units will come the support jobs needed to serve the area.

Southeast Development Area - Water & Sewer

$1,687,500

Retain - 57, New - 1,120

Provide water and sewer service to an 800-acre development area at the proposed Exit 21 of I-64, within a mile radius of Mid-American Airport, and within 21 miles of downtown St. Louis. The area is currently without a water distribution system and a sanitary sewer collection system, which has long stalled development of the area.

Seven Hills/Old Vincennes Trail Roundabout

$745,000

Retain - 27

The existing intersection is a four-way stop of two heavily traveled roads that often delays traffic headed from northern subdivisions and central town traffic headed to Scott AFB and the high school. Provision of a modern roundabout would clear everyday congestion.

Ashland Avenue Extension

$4,432,000

Retain - 93, New - 320

This route will provide relief to traffic between Old Collinsville Road and Central Park Drive on existing routes. Additionally, it would provide access to 100+ acres of prime development property.

Reconstruction of East Presidential Streets

$2,791,000

Retain - 79

This project calls for a curbed roadway to replace oil and chip surfacing that does not have underground storm sewers to take away surface flooding. The old roadway profiles actually put rain water in front and side yards to be conveyed away by inadequate surface drainage. An integral part of the design is detention of the stormwater to reduce impacts on the degraded riparian areas of the City's central area.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Clarifier

$4,278,000

Retain-111, New - 100+

The limiting process in the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant is clarifier capacity. During high flows, the ability to provide needed settling is limited. In addition, a third clarifier allows for the needed maintenance during low flow of one of the clarifiers without sacrificing treatment standards.

Stormwater Remediations

$1,384,000

Retain - 46

Numerous areas of the older sections of town have drainage problems that need to be addressed for the long term good of the neighborhoods and the residents. Solutions to those problems provide for a better quality of life.

Wastewater Treatment Plant Headworks

$3,120,000

Retain - 66, New - 7

The existing grit separator is rather inefficient allowing even large bits through to pumps and orifices that they will clog. By providing for better separation, the rest of the treatment train can become even more efficient and handle increased demand from local development activities. That supported demand means more secondary jobs to support the increased development.
