“We are working with the City of Webster Groves to plan a small park at the intersection of Big Bend Blvd and Oxford Blvd (near Deer Creek Shopping Center). The park will include an extension of Deer Creek Greenway to fill the gap between the current endpoint and the planned extension through Maplewood to the River Des Peres Greenway. We want to hear what you think! Your input will shape the future park! Learn more and take a quick survey here: “

Work started on this a month or two ago; they're in the process of tearing up the remnants of the McDonalds' foundation.

I hope GRG can find a way to prioritize the construction of the Hodiamont Project in the wake of the tornado, at least between the St. Vincent and maybe Taylor. Having that corridor of optimism running through the damaged area could save dozens of teetering buildings from the wrecking ball at this time.

Might already be too late at this point. I've not heard anything and I could see the project being delayed because of the tornado too

Might be a bad look to build it out while people are still out of their homes. Even though GRG money can't go to rebuilding people's homes ofc.

What?

I think we should try to build nice things in North City.  I think its bad to say you cant have a bike path because you have much bigger problems.

I agree North city should have nice things.

Just trying to put myself in the shoes of someone living in a tent next to their broken home.

Im most excited about the art work and installations happening (and the eventual trail oriented businesses and events). I am still holding out that they commission a monumental brick sculpture somewhere in the downtown portion of the trail - something that would be an attraction on its own

There’s a country music concert at Chaifitz tonight and there are a bunch of people walking up from the hotels along Market in the area by the Pear Tree Inn, Wells and Millipore Sigma.

I don't get why they're building the Tucker to 4th st portion of Brickline (along Market st) rather than 20th to Tucker. It'll be like 2 small pieces (Compton to 20th being the other) than like one medium long bikepath

Probably because it's more straightforward of a design with fewer parties that are concerned with the road diet aspect (which I suspect is happening with the big institutions west of Tucker). The main stakeholder for the eastern section is Gateway Arch Park Foundation who is probably eager and willing for this to happen. Ultimately that remaining section from 20th to Tucker is supposed to immediately follow the Tucker to 4th section if the funding comes in the way they want it to.
