East-West Gateway Air Quality Committee Meets March 24 | The Locally Times
The East-West Gateway Air Quality Advisory Committee meets March 24, coinciding with the start of in-person absentee voting, while its agenda and specific location remain undisclosed.
This meeting occurs on the same day that in-person no-excuse absentee voting begins for the upcoming election in St. Louis City, as records from the St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners show. ## Meeting Details and Public Access As The Locally Times reported previously, public notice for the AQAC meeting omits a specific agenda and location. The East-West Gateway Council of Governments' posting for the March 24 meeting does not include these details. This follows a pattern of sparse public records for committee meetings. The timing of the AQAC meeting on March 24 coincides with the start of a critical period for voter participation. The St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners' records indicate March 24, 2026, as the first day for no-excuse absentee voting. The last day to request an application-based absentee ballot by mail is March 25, 2026. What to watch: The East-West Gateway Council of Governments has not yet provided the specific agenda for the Air Quality Advisory Committee meeting or details on how the public can fully participate or observe the in-person session. The impact of the meeting's timing on public engagement in both environmental discussions and the ongoing election cycle remains to be seen.
