What Makes a Great St. Louis Street Great? Great Streets of STL Wants Your Input

{rendering of the South Grand streetscape project}

With a growing number of projects like the redevelopment 14th Street in Old North St. Louis, the Washington Avenue Loft District Streetscape improvement downtown, the Loop Trolley project in University City, and South Grand and Manchester Avenue traffic lane reductions, there is a continued focus on development of great streets in St. Louis. The St. Louis Great Streets Initiative, started by the East-West Gateway in 2006, is another example of growing commitment to great streets in St. Louis. The city has also passed the “Complete Streets” bill, as of June 11, 2010. Though this bill does not guarantee the creation of great streets, it signals new promise for the future of streets in St. Louis.
