📰 News we're reading

• Chesterfield takes pre-emptive stance regarding ownership of county arterial roadways (westnewsmagazine.com) — Chesterfield officials are pushing back against a potential St. Louis County move that could shift costly arterial road maintenance onto the city, increasing lane miles by about 20% without dedicated funding. A unanimously approved City Council resolution opposes any unilateral transfer of county-controlled roads, warning it could be financially catastrophic and significantly affect local traffic safety, budgets, and service levels.
