Students! This is a great opportunity if you live in the 5th ward and want to get involved contact Coach Salih at [email protected].

The St. Louis City Youth Council (C*C) is an advisory body that gives young residents a direct voice in shaping City policies and programs. The C*C meets monthly to discuss issues affecting young people and recommends local laws and initiatives to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, informed by a youth perspective.

Due to graduation and a resignation, the 5th Ward is not currently represented!

Do you know a student, age 12 to 18 years, interested in public service? Maybe your daughter, son, grandchild or neighbor has expressed interest in government or civil service. Applications for the C*C are now open for the 2026-27 session, which begins this Fall.

Please see the attached flier for more information and a link to the program application. Or reach out to me by email: [email protected].

Important reminders for cyclists, pedestrians and drivers!

The closeness of our community is a blessing. Homes sit among businesses, parks, and churches. Our neighbors can easily get around by foot, bicycle, and vehicle. It's common to see cyclists passing through intersections and traveling around the community.

May marked the end of another school year. Over the next few weeks and months we're sure to see more and more of our children cycling around the neighborhood. Accordingly, now is a good time to revisit how we can all contribute to safer roads and protect our vulnerable cyclists.

With that in mind, here are some key safety tips for both drivers and cyclists as they hit the road.

For Drivers:
* Remember the difference in size. A vehicle outweighs a bike by thousands of pounds. In any collision, the cyclist bears the brunt of the impact.
* Respect cyclists’ rights. Cyclists are legally considered vehicles in Missouri and have the same rights to the road.
* Slow down when passing. Leave sufficient space and pass at a steady, safe speed.
* Check before turning. Look for cyclists before making left or right turns, and signal early.
* Watch for cyclists when opening doors. “Dooring” can send a cyclist into traffic. If you are the driver, open your door with your right hand so you can look behind you.

For Cyclists:
* Ride with traffic. Always bike in the same direction as vehicle traffic, not against it.
* Obey all traffic laws. Cyclists must follow the same signals, signs, and right-of-way rules as drivers.
* Be predictable and visible. Signal your turns, ride in a straight line, and wear bright clothing or use lights at night.
* Avoid distractions. Stay alert and avoid headphones while riding. Your eyes and ears are your best defense.
* Take the lane when necessary. While using a bike lane is ideal, if one is not present or the lane is too narrow to share safely, it is permitted, and often safer, to ride in the center of the travel lane.

Sharing the road is a shared responsibility. A little extra attention and mutual respect can go a long way in preventing injuries and saving lives.

This Tuesday morning, students from will be taking over Chouquette for a few hours as part of a program that gives high school students hands-on experience with local small businesses while introducing them to different career paths throughout the year.

The students will be spending time both front of house and back of house, learning about customer service, pastry production, teamwork, and the day-to-day reality of running a bakery and café.

We hope you’ll stop by, encourage them, and cheer them on a little. You never know, we may have a few future pastry chefs and café owners in the group.
