The car wash opened in December.
Edison Real Estate Three LLC, property owner of the Tidal Wave car wash at 3270 S. Lindbergh Blvd., submitted an amended development plan that changes the lane striping required on the originally approved site plan at the car wash intersection of East Watson Road and South Lindbergh Boulevard.
The project was approved in 2018 through a tie-breaker from Mayor Pat Fribis, replacing the derelict Econo Lodge. One condition of approval by the aldermen at that time was reconfiguring the striping on East Watson Road to create a right-turn lane onto Lindbergh Boulevard.
But under the plan from aldermen, the traffic lights on the Rott Road side of the intersection would not be properly centered over the traffic lanes. So the lanes were restriped in their current configuration to line up with the mast arm containing the traffic lane.
