Council signs cost-share agreement with MDOT to advance Highway 47 widening design
Council voted to authorize a supplemental Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission cost-share agreement that combines East–West Gateway STBG funding with a 50/50 municipal cost share for the Highway 47 widening project (project SL0082B STBG6400634). Staff said the agreement places program funds under MDOT’s control so MDOT can start design work and directly use the funds rather than requiring the city to pay upfront and seek reimbursement.

Council approved the ordinance on second reading (Ordinance 7C). The mayor and staff described the project as a major transportation priority funded in part by grants related to the recently passed transportation sales tax.
