Tuesday, October 15, 2019 Mississippi River At West Alton, Missouri Meeting Scheduled To Discuss Raising U.S. 67 Lower Lanes........
Since 2017, there has been plans for raising the lower lanes of U.S. 67 in West Alton, Missouri. The project would lessen the effects of Mississippi River flooding. That area is the first to flood when the river rises.
Next week, there is a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, October 15th, from 4 - 6 PM at the Audubon Center in West Alton. The open house style meeting will not include formal presentations.
Work on the project is scheduled to begin in 2021........

Tuesday - Friday, October 15-18, 2019 MR340 Race Missouri River...Kansas City, KS to St. Charles, MO
14th Annual Missouri American Water MR340
The Missouri 340 is an endurance race across the state of
Missouri. Competitors will start in Kansas City and finish, some
of them anyway, in St. Charles. With numerous towns and hamlets,
the course offers plenty of opportunity for resupply while
enroute. The Missouri River is also incredibly scenic and
isolated in some stretches, with wildlife and beautiful vistas
to rival any river in North America. But if you’re trying to win
this race, you won’t have time to enjoy any of it.

This year's historic flooding showed how
trash dropped on the ground ends up in our region's waterways.
Help us clear it out before it makes it way to the Mississippi
