USGS STUDY UNDERWAY
CAULKS CREEK WATERSHEDThe City of Wildwood's Watershed Erosion Task Force (WETF) has been seeking assistance from any and all sources to help it in understanding the extent of problems that many of the City's nine (9) watersheds are experiencing, with the intent that, once the causes of these problems are known, solutions can be developed for them. To this end, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) began a two (2) year long study of Caulks Creek on February 14, 2022. The study is intended to profile the damage in the creek, understand the unpredictable dynamics of storm events upon the creek, author potential solutions, and report on all of it to the community. Such a study will be a template for the other watersheds that define Wildwood in terms of approaches to preserve them, as well as across the country. More information can be obtained by clicking on this link: USGS Study.
Please be advised that representatives of the USGS will be working in Caulks Creek in coming weeks, and beyond. If you see someone working in creek, it is more than likely a scientist that is part of this study process. The St. Louis County Police Department - Wildwood Precinct has been advised of this study and the personnel in the field to ensure the safety of all parties. |

2022 will remain a year of working on promoting upgrades to old systems to better manage stormwater runoff, repairing critical locations, as defined, and increasing public education efforts within the community and to residents.

Internet Access Committee (IAC) - Project UpdatesFIBER-TO-THE-PREMISE: The announcement many have waited for over the last ten plus (10+) years to hear was made at the City Council meeting on December 13, 2021. An agreement had been reached with Spectrum (Charter Communications) to provide high-speed internet access to all of the underserved and unserved areas of the City. This announcement came after two (2) years of work by the Internet Access Committee (IAC), the City Council, the Mayor, and certain providers that responded to the Request for Proposals (RFP). This outcome finally means that within a timeframe of no more twenty-four (24) months all underserved and unserved areas will have access to 21 st Century broadband speeds. The provider is now completing a design map that will indicate the planned sequencing of service installations to these identified areas. This map will be reviewed by City officials and then it will become the guide to internet access for the future. The City does anticipate this design map will be available in March 2022 for its review and acceptance.
Information regarding the rollout will be provided by Spectrum to all property owners in the areas where service will be extended and provided, along with updates from the City of Wildwood.The Ordinance supporting this service to Wildwood residents can be found by clicking on the provided link, which includes the aforementioned agreement: Internet Access Agreement. Thank you to all the people that helped along the way, and the patience of those residents, while this tough issue was addressed! HOORAY! OTHER OPTIONS: The Department continues to define other options for internet service, which are identified below: - Bays ET – Fixed wireless network service (original)
- Bays ET – Fiber-to-the-Home (only to certain areas – Hawks Rest, Homestead Estates at Wildwood, and Shiloh Subdivisions)
- Wisper Internet – Fixed wireless network service (original)
- Wisper Internet – Fixed wireless network service (new)
- AT&T Wireless – Mobile communication provider – Hotspot Use
- AT&T – Non-mobile option, where property owner or subdivision compensates provider for extension of fiber optic or T1 Business Line to location(s). Dr Rambaud can provide more background and authored an e-mail in this regard.
- Verizon – Mobile communication provider – Hotspot Use
- T-Mobile/Sprint – Mobile communication provider – Hotspot Use
- Other Mobile Providers – Mobile communication providers, i.e., Mint Mobile, Metro, Cricket, etc. – Hotspot Use
- Satellite – Different providers
- Spectrum (Charter Communications)
- Wildwood Workspaces – 16759 Main Street, Suite 205 (co-working spaces for internet needs)
- Starlink - In the meantime, the discussions relating to the Starlink option for access to high-speed internet continue in many areas of the country. Although not fiber-to-the-home (FTTP), this service may be able to provide a bridge over an extended time gap that currently exist and could continue, until better options are available, as noted above regarding the City’s agreement with a provider of this essential service. For more information, please click on this link Starlink Information.
If you have any questions or comments about the City's initiatives on high-speed internet to certain areas of this community, please contact the Department of Planning at (636) 458-0440. Please check back regularly for updates. |

Biking and Walking Benefits Program in WildwoodThe City of Wildwood has an exciting program that creates new and additional traffic for local businesses, while continuing to promote an active, healthy lifestyle for the community. Biking and Walking Benefits is a year-round national program in more than 100 communities across the United States that promotes active mobility through discounts/rewards to cyclists and walkers that visit local businesses.
The program is very simple - individuals purchase a $5.00 helmet sticker from participating businesses and after biking or walking to a participating business, present the sticker to receive their discount/reward. If you already have a sticker from another community, just present it at a participating Wildwood business, and be sure to use your sticker to receive discounts at other area businesses.
Lauren Edens, Ward 2 Council Member and the Chair of the Economic Development Committee of the Wildwood City Council, said, “this program fits perfectly with our culture and outdoor infrastructure, including our extensive trail and sidewalk network. We hope that the initial list of 10 businesses grows with more communications and outreach.”
Interested businesses can participate by contacting Hugh Share, Volunteer Program Coordinator, at sharecycle08@gmail.com, or 314.486.5685.

Election Board Seeks Republican Election Judges
for April General Municipal ElectionThe April 5th General Municipal Election is just over five weeks away and the St. Louis County Board of Elections is working feverishly to secure enough Election Judges to work at the polling places on Election Day. Per Missouri State Statute RSMo 115.081, the Election Board is responsible for maintaining an equal amount of Republican and Democrat Election Judges at the polling places to operate in a bi-partisan manner.
Currently, the Election Board is short just over 100 Republican Election Judges for the April election while the needed amount of Democrat Election Judges has been secured. To staff each polling place with eight bi-partisan Election Judges, 900 Election Judges are needed from each party. If the Election Board is unable to secure the remaining Republican Election Judges, the number of Election Judges per polling place may be reduced.
Election Judges are responsible for setting up and operating the voting equipment, arranging the polling place and checking in voters. Election Judges must meet the following requirements: - Be a Missouri registered voter
- Declare a party affiliation
- Attend a training session
- Be available to work from 5 a.m. to duty completion
Election Judges are compensated $175 for their Election Day duties. Training is compensated as well, but the compensation varies depending on the role.
If you are interested in applying to work as an Election Judge for the April 5th General Municipal Election, visit www.vote4stlco.com/pollaccess or contact the Election Board at 314-615-1865. Applications are considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. For more information, visit www.stlouiscountymovotes.gov or call 314-615-VOTE. |
