“ST. LOUIS – The city of St. Louis will invest more than $60 million to try to make streets and sidewalks safer. It’s being paid for with the American Rescue Plan Fund.

Mayor Tishaura Jones will sign the ‘Safer Streets Bill’ later Wednesday morning. It’s being called a historic investment in making our roads safer and preventing traffic violence.

$55 million of the covid relief funds will go to traffic and road improvements. Six million will go to the streets department for sidewalk improvements. This was already in the works, but it comes after two recent tragic crashes.”
