South Grand, CityGarden Named "Great Places" in Missouri - road diet and bike/ped improvements play a big part | Riverfront Times
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
Prior to 2009, we were a four-lane road; the average speed was 45-50 miles per hour,” recalls Rachel Witt, executive director of the South Grand Community Improvement District. But that year, the East-West Gateway Councils of Governments brought South Grand into the Great Streets Initiative, which awarded federal and aldermanic grants to design a new streetscape.
The revamp, which took four years, included a road diet, wider sidewalks, rain gardens and artistic ironwork. Since the project’s completion, Witt and the rest of the Community Improvement District have focused on maintaining the street’s infrastructure.
