Below is the DWNA Monthly Update from 25th Ward Alderman Shane Cohn for the month of July 2009:

25th Ward Alderman Shane Cohn

• Funds previously allocated by former Alderwoman Dorothy Kirner have been redistributed. Part of the funds have been added to the St. Louis City 50/50 Sidewalk repair program in the 25th Ward so that everyone requesting sidewalk repair this year will get it done.
• A portion of the capital improvement funds will go to address the poor condition of the road on Meramec near Niebling Auto Body and the Car Wash, and a portion will be devoted to improving the sidewalks East of Grand along Meramec in the Downtown Dutchtown area.
• Looking into soliciting help from a Washington University in St. Louis design class for redeveloping/improving Amberg Park. Intend to lay the plans for park improvements and get the community involved and their input in order to start soliciting grants to fund the project.
• Updates on South Towne Apartments (see post here). Will solicit help to petition neighbors to close Spring Street in between the new St. Marys High School Sports Park and Beckerley Park.
