It’s milling and paving season and you may see our crews out on the streets.

So, where does all that broken up asphalt go⁉️

The cold planer breaks up the asphalt and feeds it into the dump truck. It then gets recycled and blended into new hot-mix batches or is used for base material for roads, parking lots, or other construction.

The heat is ON! 🔥🥵But that hasn’t stopped our milling crew from taking up asphalt and preparing for paving on Pernod Ave. from Kingshighway Blvd. to Hampton Ave. Thanks to the whole team for your hard work!

We consider our team members to be part of the City's first responders. Thanks to Michelle Jones, Heavy Equipment Operator, for her courage and care.

A story that could have ended in tragedy last week instead became a story of survival, as an employee of the St. Louis City Street Department rescued a baby left alone in the middle of a busy street.

🎉Congratulations and Happy Retirement to Jeff F. who served the City of St. Louis for more than 39 years!

He worked most of those years in our Refuse Division, including 16 years as a Refuse truck operator and 21 years as a route foreman. He’s looking forward to spending more time with his wife and family, including 4 dogs. 🐕

During a retirement luncheon hosted by his coworkers, Jeff took some time to reflect on his career.

“What I’ll miss most are the people,” Jeff said. “I’ve worked with these folks for a long time, and we’ve been through a lot together.”

Thanks for your dedication, Jeff. We’ll miss you too!
