St. Charles Street and Surrounding Area Improvements: Connecting Neighborhoods, Fixing Drainage, and Adding Parking

The city is moving forward with a package of street, sidewalk, drainage, and parking improvements around downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. The projects focus on improving multimodal connectivity, safety, and stormwater performance while adding modest on‑street parking where feasible. Key elements include:

St. Charles Street at 5th Street

• Install a new sidewalk to connect Old Town with the Timberwood Farms subdivision. 
• Purpose: provide a safe, continuous pedestrian route for residents, schoolchildren, and visitors; reduce short car trips between neighborhoods.

St. Charles Street at 2nd Street

• Add new on‑street public parking spaces along the south side of the street. 
• Purpose: support nearby businesses and residents with convenient short‑term parking and improve curbside access.

Lime Street between Hwy N and Main Street

• Add new on‑street public parking spaces along the south side of the street. 
• Construct a new sidewalk to connect Hwy N to Main Street, creating a continuous pedestrian corridor. 
• Perform asphalt mill and overlay to renew the pavement surface. 
• Purpose: enhance walkability between major corridors, increase parking capacity, and extend pavement life.

Chestnut Street between Hwy N and Main Street

• Resolve an existing drainage problem to prevent standing water and pavement damage. 
• Redesign sidewalk ramps, remove trip hazards, and add a new ADA‑compliant ramp at the northwest corner of Chestnut and Main Streets. 
• Complete the sidewalk connection on the north side of Chestnut between Hwy N and Main. 
• Add new on‑street parking on the north side of Chestnut (option to designate some spaces for golf carts where appropriate). 
• Perform asphalt mill and overlay to restore the roadway surface. 
• Purpose: improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, address drainage and pavement deterioration, and provide flexible parking options to support local activity.

Cottleville Receives TAP Grant



The City of Cottleville has been awarded a federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant to support pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements along Highway N, with funding administered through the East-West Gateway Council of Governments and the Missouri Department of Transportation. The grant, funded by the Federal Highway Administration, will advance a key corridor improvement project that enhances safety, connectivity, and accessibility for residents and visitors alike. 

The project includes the construction of a shared-use path, sidewalk improvements, and traffic-calming features along Highway N, extending from Knaust Road/Cottleville Parkway to Gutermuth Road. These improvements aim to provide safer accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists, improve mobility along a heavily traveled corridor, and support the City’s broader goals related to transportation safety and multi-modal connectivity. Under the grant agreement, federal funds will cover up to 80 percent of eligible project costs, with the City responsible for the remaining local share and long-term maintenance of the improvements.

The project will move through design, environmental review, public engagement, and right of way phases before construction, consistent with federal and state requirements. The City appreciates the partnership with East-West Gateway, MoDOT, and federal agencies in securing this important funding investment for the community.

Reminder: The City of Cottleville Streamlined and Updated Noise Regulations Last October

The City of Cottleville Board of Aldermen approved updates to the City’s Noise and Nuisance Ordinance on October 15, 2025, to better balance the needs of residents and businesses within the community’s growing entertainment district. The revised ordinance modernizes terminology, clarifies enforcement procedures, and establishes objective decibel standards measured at the property line—creating a more transparent and consistent process for evaluating potential noise violations.

While the Cottleville Police Department has received only a few noise-related complaints this year, the Board determined it was important to streamline the process for future enforcement and to provide clearer expectations for all property owners. Many local businesses have already taken proactive steps to minimize noise impacts and maintain a positive environment for nearby residents.

Residents are reminded that timely reporting is essential for effective response. To report noise or other ordinance concerns—such as golf cart violations, dogs at large, or fireworks misconduct—please contact the 24-hour non-emergency dispatch line at (636) 939-9966 at the time of occurrence or as soon as safely possible. For emergencies, always call 911.

Delays in reporting or posting concerns on social media do not result in timely police response or resolution. Dispatchers need real-time information to properly log and route calls for service.



The City appreciates the continued support and cooperation of residents and businesses as we work together to maintain a safe, enjoyable, and vibrant community for all.

Did you know? The City is Required to Have a Development Review Process

The City is required to have a City Development Review Process for

 residents, land owners and developers. Once the City receives a

development proposal/application, the law requires that the City place

 that proposal on a meeting agenda (for consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission and/or the Board of Aldermen). However, merely being placed on an agenda does not guarantee that the proposal will be approved. Instead, the City reviews the proposal to determine whether it complies with the City Code.

Throughout a development or application review process it is critical

that voting members of the public entity remain impartial and reserve

their final decision until it is time to vote. The primary reason for

this is to ensure each applicant is granted their due process for

consideration by the governing body. It is equally important for any

person from the community who has questions, concerns, or general

opinions about a given proposal that they communicate directly with

the City through the designated communication channels such as phone, email, written correspondence, or in-person statements at a public meeting. Taking to social media to share one's thoughts and opinions may be therapeutic and even garner like minded sentiment, but there is no guarantee that any decision makers from the governing body will become aware of such online statements.

As with any important topic, it is always best to research multiple

sources for information and in the case of city government operations

and activities that would include directing one's questions and

concerns to the City government. Your elected officials can assist

with this process if you ask them to and City staff are another

resource for information and facts on topics and proposals dealing

with local government.

PARKS AND RECREATION

Students Making a Difference in Scott A. Lewis Park!

Local students recently spent a week helping remove honeysuckle and clear portions of the wooded trail at Scott A. Lewis Park. 

Their hard work is already making a difference—and they’ve returned to enjoy the fruits of their labor by fishing and enjoying time in Dardenne Creek!

We are incredibly appreciative of these students’ hard work, dedication, and willingness to serve our community—especially in the recent summer heat! 

Even better, they are brimming with ideas for ways to make our parks more enjoyable and welcoming for teens. We love seeing young people taking an active role in improving their community!

Thank you for making a difference in Cottleville!  If you would like to volunteer or need community service hours, please contact us.

Honeysuckle Removal Workday a Resounding Success

The recent Honeysuckle Removal Workday was a tremendous success, with 19 dedicated volunteers contributing their time and talents in a variety of roles to help improve Scott A. Lewis Park.

Volunteers were welcomed at the park pavilion, where they checked in, enjoyed breakfast, filled their water bottles, and were transported by golf cart to the work site.

The selected work area was ideal due to its level terrain and easy golf cart access. Located along the wooded trail overlooking Dardenne Creek, the site offers scenic views of the Blueway and Old Hickory's Golf Club across the water. A natural stairway leads from the overlook down to a sandbar-like area along the creek, where visitors can fish from the bank or pull over and dock a kayak while exploring the Blueway. This location sits approximately midway between the existing Woodlands Sports Park Blueway kayak launch and the proposed Cottleville Blueway launch, making it an ideal stop for paddlers to rest, enjoy lunch, or simply take in the scenery while visiting Scott A. Lewis Park.

While many volunteers were experienced in the honeysuckle removal process, several first-time participants were welcomed. After a brief safety and removal tutorial, new volunteers were paired with experienced team members, allowing everyone to contribute safely and effectively.

By the end of the morning, volunteers had cleared honeysuckle from several hundred linear feet of one of the densest sections of the wooded trail. The result is a more open, accessible hiking path that visitors will enjoy for years to come.

One of the day's most exciting discoveries was an extensive stand of the native Dutchman's Pipe Vine (Aristolochia macrophylla), an important host plant for the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly. Visitors wishing to see this remarkable native vine can find it growing along the left side of the mowed trail leading toward the Pet Adoption Center.



Projects like this demonstrate the tremendous impact volunteers can have on improving our parks while restoring native habitats for wildlife. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped make this workday another successful step toward enhancing Scott A. Lewis Park for both people and nature.

Litter Harms Wildlife: A reminder to use Trash and Recycling Containers when visiting City Parks

As more families and visitors enjoy our beautiful city parks this season, the City would like to remind everyone about the importance of properly disposing of litter and recyclables. Keeping parks clean not only helps maintain their beauty, but also protects local wildlife and the environment.

Trash left behind in parks can seriously harm animals. Birds, squirrels, turtles, fish, and other wildlife may mistake litter for food or become trapped in plastic bags, cans, fishing line, and other debris. Even small items like bottle caps or food wrappers can pose dangerous risks to animals and pollute waterways.

Visitors are encouraged to use the trash and recycling containers located throughout city parks. Taking a few extra moments to properly dispose of waste helps keep parks safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone.

Recycling also plays an important role in reducing waste and protecting natural resources. Aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and paper products placed in recycling bins can be reused instead of ending up in landfills or harming the environment.

The City appreciates the community’s help in keeping parks clean and preserving these shared spaces for future generations. Together, we can all make a positive impact by remembering one simple rule: pack it in, pack it out, or place it in the proper container.

Don't Feed Wildlife in City Parks

Feeding wildlife may seem harmless, but it can actually create serious problems for animals, parks, and the environment. The City would like to remind residents and visitors to avoid feeding ducks, geese, fish, turtles, and other wildlife in local parks — especially bread and other processed foods.

While animals may eagerly eat bread, it does not provide the nutrients they need to stay healthy. Regularly feeding bread to wildlife can lead to malnutrition, illness, and unnatural dependence on human food sources. Excess food left in ponds and lakes can also negatively impact water quality by increasing algae growth and pollution.

Another growing concern is the amount of litter being left behind from feeding wildlife. Bread bags, plastic packaging, and food containers are often discarded near lakes, trails, and park areas. This litter can harm animals that may become tangled in the plastic or accidentally ingest it. It also creates unnecessary cleanup efforts and takes away from the beauty of the parks for other visitors.

Feeding wildlife can also attract large groups of animals to one area, which may increase aggressive behavior, overcrowding, and sanitation concerns.

Residents are encouraged to enjoy wildlife from a respectful distance and help keep parks clean by properly disposing of all trash and recycling. By not feeding wildlife and picking up litter, everyone can help protect local animals and preserve the natural beauty of our parks for future generations.

Cottleville Zip Codes

 All City residents and businesses should use "Cottleville", Mo as their City identification, followed by their current zip code, as their permanent address on utility bills and all other mail.

*Taxes collected and dispersed are often based upon a City zip code. 

For example, if you are a Cottleville resident and are currently using "St. Peters, Mo" or St. Charles, Mo or O'Fallon, Mo as your address, you MAY be paying a higher tax rate on your leased vehicle, purchased vehicles, phone bill, utility bills, online purchases, cable bill, gas bills etc. 

As a result, you may lose money AND the City may also lose the tax revenue to the wrong City list on that bill or purchase. These taxes are used to provide vital services such as parks, police, street repair, street lights, and so on.

It is important to note this advisory by the United States Postal Service: 

To avoid mail delivery delays, you must always use the correct City and zip code on your mail.
