 The City Council spent well over an hour discussing and hearing comments on the Camp Street Bridge Project during the City Council meeting held on Tuesday, February 19th. On the City Council's agenda for Tuesday were a number of ordinances related to the preparation for the project. Passage of the ordinances would give way for a subsequent approval of the project itself at a later meeting. A number of Washington, Missouri residents, primarily representing the neighborhoods adjoining the Camp Street bridge location, voiced their objections to the project. The residents' comments were most focused on several concerns: additional traffic flow through the neighborhoods, impact to neighborhood property values, and how resconstructing the bridge may eventually lead to the opening of the gate on A. Roy Drive.  The City Council and Mayor listened to the citizens concerns and responded to questions as they were posed. Also answering questions were Police Chief Hahn and Darren Lamb, Planning/Zoning Director. Mayor Stratman requested that Fire Chief Halmich give his perspective as Fire Chief. Chief Halmich indicated that reconstruction of the bridge would improve the Department's ability to respond to calls to the area and would better position the Department for future growth. Chief Halmich referenced an upcoming need for an additional station in the east and southeast part of the city, where new residential growth is occuring and a new high school is planned. Following the lengthy discussion, the Council took a vote on the first of the series of ordinances. Councilmen Engemann, Hellmann, Brinker and Tudor voted in favor and Councilman Rhodes and Councilwomen Witt and Groff voted against. Councilman Overschmidt was absent. Because of the 4-3 vote, a quorum was not reached -- nor could Mayor Stratman cast a vote to break a possible tie. As a result, the ordinances will come before the Council at a later time when sufficient Council are present. |

Two stoplights in Washington, Missouri are now equipped with "red light" cameras. The cameras take photographs of drivers who fail to obey the traffic signals. The cameras are installed on Highway 100 at Highway 47 and Route A and are set up to monitor east/west traffic only. According to Kenneth Hahn, Chief of Police, the equipment is "about ready to go". Chief Hahn indicated there had been concerns about the flashing that is occurring at the intersections. He indicated that at this time, final testing and setup is taking place. Once the cameras are activated, the flashing indicates only that a picture was taken. Pictures are taken of instances which are "remotely close to being a violation". The Chief re-iterated that all pictures are reviewed by the department to determine whether a violation did, indeed, take place. Tickets will only be issued when the department is able to confirm that a violation did occur. For additional info, pictures and video, click the 'Read More' link below. |
