The City of Richmond Heights
is moving into the design phase of the Dale Avenue Streetscape. Meetings have been held with the residents of
the Dale Avenue area to talk about the Streetscape and give suggestions on the
best way to improve the viability of Dale Avenue. During these sessions information was
provided to residents and your opinions and ideas have been put into the plan.
When the streets in Richmond
Heights were originally laid out Dale Avenue was determined to be one of the
major streets in our town. The width of
Dale Avenue is 100 feet (Hanley to Big Bend) although the City does not use all of this easement. In essence the City’s property is 50 feet
north and 50 feet south of the existing center line on Dale Avenue.
The Streetscape will go from
Laclede Station Road on the west to Big Bend Blvd. on the east. The street will be widen to provide for
expanded parking and bike lanes. There
will be an upgrade of the tree lawn and
areas where seating will be provided. To
accomplish this the City will be moving the sidewalk approximately 5 to 7
feet. This will mean that there will be
less green space between your house and the sidewalk.
We wanted you to know that
the City will begin work soon and did not want this to be a surprise. Many of our neighbors have lived on Dale for
a long period of time and might not remember having their lot surveyed.
Each month we meet with our
neighbors in District 2 and all of Richmond Heights. This months meeting will be Saturday,
September 10, 10 am at Richmond Terrace, 1633 Laclede Station Road. This will be part of our discussion. Please join us if you can.
Thank You
Mike and Jim
