Request for Public Comment/Notice of Public Meeting East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWG) is inviting public review and comment on the draft of its updated FY 2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Bi-state area residents will have the opportunity to engage with this important regional planning document by visiting designated information hubs across the St. Louis region or by attending four in-person meetings. The draft TIP is organized by county and includes detailed maps, project statuses, and funding information. The TIP outlines planned or active state and federal transportation projects throughout the region over the next four years. These projects, including roads, bridges, transit, and supporting infrastructure, are aligned with the region's Long-Range Transportation Plan, also produced by EWG. The public comment period begins Friday, 6/27/25, and ends Friday, 8/1/25. The draft TIP will also be posted online for comment at www.ewgateway.org on 06/27/25. Residents are encouraged to provide feedback by completing a short comment form available on the website, at each information hub, or during scheduled public meetings. Completed forms can be submitted in a drop box on site or by scanning a QR code to access the online form, by email to TIP@ewgateway.org, or by mail to East-West Gateway Council of Governments, Attn: TIP, 1 S. Memorial Drive, Ste. 1600, St. Louis, MO 63102. Public input is a vital part of the regional planning process, helping ensure that transportation investments reflect the needs and priorities of local communities.
