From our friends at Stephens College -
On Friday, August 9 (weather permitting) both pedestrian bridge spans will be closed for the entire day due to a combination of an application of a protective overlay and warranty work. The intention is to have the bridges re-opened for weekend pedestrian traffic by the end of the day on the 9th.
Due to this closure, please very carefully, use the street crossings at College & Broadway to cross campus.

Road Work on St. Joseph
Columbia Public Works will begin our annual street maintenance projects of sealing roadways, commonly called "chip n' seal", beginning on Monday, July 22 and continuing throughWednesday, August 14.
Chip n' seal maintenance consists of thoroughly cleaning the road surface, applying a layer of liquid asphalt to seal cracks, applying a layer of rock and rolling it into the liquid asphalt, and then brooming off the excess rock.
Sealing road surfaces with this method can greatly extend the life of roadways and is very cost effective. The cost of chip n' seal is one-seventh the cost of milling and overlaying a roadbed. The total cost to complete 30.78 lane miles of roads is $234,000. The work will be performed by City of Columbia Street Division crews. The funding source is the transportation sales tax and gasoline tax.
While crews perform the work, motorist should expect lane restrictions and delays. Once the sealing is complete, motorist and cyclist may experience loose gravel in the gutters and a few other areas. Crews will return as needed to sweep and remove the excess rock.
All work is weather dependent and the schedule may be adjusted accordingly.
We will release each weeks projects and any schedule updates on the Thursday prior to the start date.
Work scheduled for July 22 & July 23 on Saint Joseph from Park Av to Ash St.

Changes to Parking Violation Citations to begin on Monday, July 1
Beginning on Monday, July 1, Columbia Public Works Parking Utility will implement the use of new devices to issue parking violation citations. The devices currently used to issue parking violation citations employ technology which is over 15 years old, requires customized software, do not integrate well with Municipal Court or payment and permit processing, and do not allow interaction between the City and our customers.
The new devices are Samsung Note smart phones with software supplied by Clancy Systems of Denver CO. The Parking Utility will lease 6 Samsung Notes and the Municipal Court will lease 3 Samsung Notes at a cost of $170 per month per device. The cost covers the lease of the device as well as the software and maintenance.
Parking Enforcement agents, Columbia Police and University of Missouri Police will all begin using the smart-phone device to issue parking citations on July 1.
Changes to the actual parking violation citation include a slightly larger printed citation with a green header and footer across the document. The envelope for the citation will also be slightly larger and brighter in color with a clear address label window.
As of July 1, customers will also use a new web portal to pay parking violation citations online. The new web portal can be accessed at www.remit-online.com/573001. It is important to note, that parking citations issued prior to July 1 will still use the old web portal address of www.trafficpayment.com for payments.
Customers will continue to use www.trafficpayments.com to pay traffic summons or fines assessed by the Municipal Court for any other municipal charge.
Some of the advantages of using the new hardware and software also include:
*Enhanced interactivity between the Parking Utility agents, Law Enforcement officers, and Municipal Court. Data will be shared in real time thus saving the agents and officers time and phone calls back and forth to verify if vehicles are currently on a tow list, have the proper parking permit, etc.
*System capable of storing up to three photos with the citation. Photos help to validate the fact the meter was expired or a proper permit was not displayed, the location of the vehicle, the vehicle license plate matches to the citation issued and that a citation was affixed to the windshield of the vehicle.
*The equipment used to issue the citation is lighter in weight and easier to use.
*The new software allows the use and attachment of common document types such as a MS Word or Excel and Adobe Acrobat files to the citation case log.
*Easier and less costly future enhancements to hardware and software.
Customer who have questions about parking citations they receive may also call the Parking Utility at (573) 874-7674 or Municipal Court at (573) 874-7230.

Power Outage between Broadway & Cherry
From our friends at the Tribune:
A lightning strike or heavy rain is believed to be the cause of a downtown Columbia power outage that could last throughout much of the day Tuesday.
Columbia Water and Light crews are working to repair a large transformer that went out overnight, spokeswoman Connie Kacprowicz said. The outage left 27 downtown customers without power between Broadway and Cherry streets, affecting several businesses and apartments.
Outages began around 9 p.m. Monday, and crews worked to reset the transformer. Power returned but went out permanently around 4 a.m.
Replacement of the transformer may not be completed until 6 p.m., Kacprowicz said. Eighth Street between Broadway and Cherry will be closed as crews work there.
