St. Charles Street and Surrounding 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

• 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.

City of Cottleville Clarifies Regulations for “Mini Bikes” and Similar Motorized Devices

The City of Cottleville updated safety regulations regarding the operation of "mini-bikes," pocket bikes, and other motorized play vehicles. While these devices are popular, many exceed the 49cc limit set by state law for unregistered road use. We have seen an increase in safety concerns, particularly involving unlicensed minors operating these vehicles on sidewalks, multipurpose trails, and roadways, which creates hazards for pedestrians and motorists.



To address these issues the Board of Aldermen adopted new definitions within the Municipal Traffic Code which establishes the following:

- Operation Restrictions: Mini-bikes, motorized scooters, and similar devices are prohibited on City streets, sidewalks, and within City parks, except during permitted events.

- Parental Responsibility: The ordinance establishes penalties for adults who knowingly allow minors to operate these vehicles unlawfully.

These updates are intended to enhance public safety and ensure our parks and trails remain safe for everyone. For more information please visit:  Cottleville Mini-Bike Ordinance Update

Please contact the Cottleville Police if you have any further questions. 

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

The City of Cottleville Board of Aldermen recently 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.

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.

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.
