^ I look forward to seeing the upcoming streetscaping for lower Washington (as part of Arch redo).

What's the deal/status with the streets-cape project for the MX District?

Stifel Nicolaus and Spinnaker are funding the local match for the project along Washington from 4th to 7th. Last I heard, construction was planned for winter 2014-15.

Cool.

I thought it had fizzled or was delayed.

Presbyterian · PostMay 08, 2014#11362014-05-08T15:29+00:00

Last I heard (a month or two ago), construction was planned for the winter.

Are there any design drawings or descriptions for the streetscape project? Sounds great.

Not to my knowledge. From what I can tell, it sounds like there might have been an earlier design by HOK, which was scrapped. Not sure who the new designer is, or whether they have even been selected yet. Seems like the decision date on the RFP was summer 2014.

It would be nice to see any streetscape improvements extend a block to the west. The sidewalks and trees around the U.S. Bank Tower aren't looking too great these days.

Presbyterian · PostMay 09, 2014#11402014-05-09T17:10+00:00

New update: Spring 2015 construction. And it will extend east to tie into the arch grounds project.

I'll be glad when all the streets get facelifts. driving on them is worse than driving on a gravel roads

arch city · PostMay 15, 2014#11422014-05-15T15:46+00:00

I found the answer to my question.

There's a construction crew framing out walls at the 7th and Locust entrance. I heard a rumor that it's going to be a gym, but can't confirm it. If true, it would be great - especially if it's a 24-hour gym.

That would be nice. As you said, a 24-hour gym would be even better. Any sign of activity at that corner would be most welcome. Right now, it's utterly depressing in my opinion.

^ yup. Walgreen's or CVS would be the dream but I think just about anything would be a boost. Of course another fitness place opened up not long ago further down Locust... I guess my dream for a new state-of-the-art downtown Y is becoming more elusive!

Another nice spot that should be coming online before too long will be the Bailey's BBQ joint at the old Bussone's.... that will give that rather quiet stretch of Olive a bit more energy as well. I also wish Tanner B's was still around

TheNewSaintLouis · PostAug 10, 2014#11472014-08-10T10:02+00:00

If its a new gym i pray that its a club fitness thats where i workout at the one in brentwood but i work downtown so instead driving to brentwood i could walk to it if it be a club fitness fingers crossed...

chaifetz10 · PostAug 10, 2014#11482014-08-10T13:20+00:00

Did some asking around... It is not a Club Fitness.

wabash · PostAug 10, 2014#11492014-08-10T13:40+00:00

A gym, a blues museum, and a new streetscape will be great additions to this great stretch of Wash. Ave.

kinger · PostAug 10, 2014#11502014-08-10T15:57+00:00

It's just a small SSM Rehab clinic going on the corner. No gym deal imminent at this time.
