Lies

Crews have been starting extremely loud work on the bluffs of River Bend Estates at 4:40 a.m. This work has awoken residents and children one-quarter and one-half mile away from the work site.

No one has permission to work on River Bend Estates property.

St. Louis County states that MSD is doing utility work for the new 141. MSD, when inquired about this, says MSD is not doing work in the area at all - that it's the County doing the work.

Also, MoDot contributed to the untruths by issuing the following press release:

Traffic Alert: Utility grading work starts Tuesday for Hwy. 141 project
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and its contractor, Dave Kolb
Grading, starts grading work in preparation for the Hwy. 141 relocation project
that begins early next year.
Crews will start grading north of Olive Blvd. near Woodchase on Sept. 8 to prepare for utility relocations needed as part of a project to upgrade and move Hwy. 141 further east.
The center turn lane of Olive Blvd. will be closed near Woodchase and just east of Toreador; however, drivers at those locations will be able to access Olive Blvd. Drivers can expect heavy truck traffic crossing Olive Blvd. Crews will not be working on the roadway between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. weekdays, and 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. weekends to minimize noise for local residents.
The $742,000 job will excavate north of Olive Blvd., build an embankment south of Olive and generally grade the area south of Olive to prepare for utility work. The project is funded using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (economic stimulus) money.
Plan ahead to avoid work zones by calling 1-888-ASK-MODOT or visiting modot.org.
