ST. LOUIS - Over the weekend, flooding slammed interstate highways and other major roads in the St. Louis area."When it comes in a lot fewer days and a lot smaller storms, you have these massive storms that hit, and there is just nothing that’s going to take that away," said Brian Hoelscher, executive director and CEO of the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD). "That immediate area is going to flood. Everything is going to go underwater."Hoelscher explained the possible solutions to the flooding problem. Missouri AG: Gardner was at nursing school during contempt of court hearing "So there‘s two options, and they're different from each one. You either move the facilities out of or raise them above those problems or else, if possible, you can engineer or try to put larger capacity structures in," he said.

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:10:45 GMT

ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis crime summit is set for Wednesday after another weekend of street fights, gunfire, and reckless driving downtown. Several issues seem to be making St. Louis a magnet for mayhem. A week ago, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department announced an unmistakable show of force to bring downtown under control. Then, over the past few days, the same issues erupted in almost the same place as they have for nearly a year, near 9th and Locust. Rampant gunfire, reckless driving, and fighting happened on that street on New Year’s Eve. There were similar issues in the same spot the past two weekends. “We’ve had the same thing time and time again,” said St. Louis Alderwoman Cara Spencer, whose 8th Ward includes part of downtown. “We’ve got some problematic landlords. We’ve got some ‘Airbnb’ property owners that have got to be reigned in.”  Missouri AG: Gardner was at nursing school during contempt of court hearing Authorities said people book short-...
