O'Fallon city staff presented six Transportation Improvement Program applications to the St. Charles County Road Board, seeking a mix of county participation and federal funding to reconstruct roads, add multi‑use paths, and repair a railroad overpass bridge.

Paul Talamanchuk, project manager for the City of O'Fallon, described the two‑phase Deer Road reconstruction as a safety and connectivity project that would rebuild narrow two‑lane segments with curb and gutter, 11‑foot travel lanes, a 10‑foot shared‑use path on the north side, and a roundabout at Paul Renaud Boulevard (phase 1) and Turian Lane (phase 2). The city asked the county for construction assistance for phase 1 (about $5.2 million county request on a roughly $6.5 million project) and design assistance for phase 2.

Bridal Road would receive selective slab replacement and an upgrade from a 6‑ft sidewalk to a 10‑ft shared path along much of the corridor; O'Fallon said federal funds were awarded for construction which reduced the county's requested share. Mexico Road would be milled and overlaid and extend an existing 10‑ft shared path toward Belleau Creek Road and Fort Zumwalt South High School.

The city also asked for design funding to add a side path along Highway N to connect to neighboring Cottleville's trail system, and sought roughly 50% participation from the county to repair spalling and delamination at the Guthrie Road railroad overpass.

Talamanchuk said prior design and right‑of‑way work had advanced on several projects; the city aims to begin construction on a staggered schedule, with Deer Road phase 1 targeted for late 2026 and other projects staged through 2029. County staff will incorporate O'Fallon's requests in the board's scoring and fiscal review before making funding recommendations.
