4/14/10  Page-Olive Connector - The Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri American Water will close up to three out of five lanes on Olive Boulevard (Route 340) between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily, starting Wednesday, April 14.     

The lane closures, on Olive just east of Incarnate Word, will primarily begin in the westbound lanes so Missouri American crews can connect three water mains to a new 42-inch diameter water line.  These daily closures may last for up to a month.

 

This work needs to be done in daylight, to ensure worker safety.  Missouri American Water is relocating about 7,000 feet of water mains for Route 141, there may be times when the work has to extend into the evening rush.

 

There will also be weekend work on this project.  In addition, Fred Weber will be completing a $10 million Metropolitan Sewer District upgrade along the Route 141 project.

 

Work on the Route 141 project has begun and should be finished by summer 2012.

8/11/09 Feral Cats - This has become a real problem in OFE.  If you have any information about homes that are feeding outside cats and there are several cats in your immediate area, please contact your district trustee.  We are still trying to get an appraisal of the magnitude of the problem so the more information that we get the better.  The minimum you can do is to call Saint Louis Animal Control to have them trap and remove the cats.

6/09/09 Feral Cats - It has been brought to the OFE trustee's attention that there is a problem with several OFE homeowners feeding feral cats.  What is a feral cat?  A domestic cat that has not be spayed or neutered is given up by the owner.  That cat mates outside the home and by the 3rd generation the cat's offspring have no connections with humans anymore.  Those cats are being fed by some OFE homeowners.  The resulting cats (as with any animal that is fed but "not owned") become a problem for other homeowners and are not healthy animals.  In one instance in OFE, animal control has captured 19 cats so far at a home were neighbors are complaining of strong urine smells in their yards.

If you have stray cats around your home, please call Saint Louis Animal Control Services (726-6655).  Please, do not feed any non-domestic animal (stray cats, stray dogs, wild bird, deer, etc.).
