Ann Mack of TrailNet recently sent the following advocacy alert for those in the St. Louis region: The St. Louis County Department of Highways & Traffic, in association with the cities of Brentwood, Maplewood, and Richmond Heights, have undertaken a study to develop a plan for the Hanley Road Corridor in central St. Louis County.
St. Louis County is now proceeding into the design phase of phase 1 of the project, which is the south portion between Hanley Industrial and Laclede Station Road. These plans call for an elevated interchange over Manchester road and widening from four to seven travel lanes from Hanley Industrial Court to approximately Laclede Station Road.
Note that no bicycle/pedestrian accommodations are currently planned.
Learn more on the St. Louis County website (www.hanleyroad.com).
Trailnet is advocating for the highest quality bicycle/pedestrian facilities along this corridor, especially to allow for safe and easy access to MetroLink stations at Manchester Rd. and Sunnen Dr.
We ask that you help us ensure bikeable/walkable communities by contacting:
