Yeah I don't think anyone has called it Kosciusko since urban renewal leveled everything there and to be honest I am not sure that the residents prior called it Kosciusko either. Would just be easier to merge it in with Soulard as one neighborhood.

It is, at the least, a street. So it's hardly the worst offense. (And people did refer to cross streets much more than neighborhoods at one time.) Either way, though, no matter what you call it, I hope the proposed buildings are a success.

^Yeah the Soulard CID goes east to South Broadway, taking in just about all the current retail currently in the neighborhood of Kosciusko. I believe they are also able to join the Soulard Business Association and several of them like Bar 101 consider label themselves as Soulard in their name. Can a neighborhood annex another? They should just move Soulard's eastern boundary to the river and call it a day.

If we folded McKinley Heights into Soulard or Lafayette Square my home's value would rise substantially. Back to the subject at hand, I look forward to seeing the rendering of this project. This intersection deserves to become substantially urban again. It's a damn shame what we have lost here.

The Planning Commission approved 6-1 changing the zoning of 1506 S 7th from J to H to facilitate multi-fam with a little commercial. It would be developer Dennis Phillips first residential development. They plan a bridge across Broadway tot he parking garage. They planned one too for 7th St, which wasn't well received and was removed from the plan. Crossing 7th at Marion is scary, hope intersection improvements come in conjunction with this.

What was the bridge over 7th going to connect to?

The other side. So people wouldn't get run over.

^They could stand to put a light in at 7th and Marion. We could use better traffic control at quite a few places around town; lights, traffic circles, solid medians with pedestrian refuges . . . 

All that said, this project seems like a good idea and I look forward to seeing where it goes and what it brings.

Sounds like he'd partner up with a developer to get this done.  He's currently working on a project in North St. Louis with Green Street...would be nice to see them get involved with this project.

Incredible we just continue to endlessly create bandaids.  Infuriating, actually.

Pretty sure I saw a coming soon sign for some kind of trucking company, so I would think so
