On the Future of the Chouteau Greenway and Protected Bikeways in St. Louis - nextSTL

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:

In a development described as “gaining momentum“, the long-planned Chouteau Greenway may get something of a start next year. A modest 1/4-mile segment between Boyle Avenue and Sarah Street will serve as a test segment and provide access to the new MetroLink station (image above).

The idea for a Chouteau Greenway and/or Chouteau Lake District in the city emerged as rough thematic images more than 15 years ago. Those images imagined a stream running from a pond at Vandeventer and Chouteau, in part the site of a since-built Quik Trip, east to a Chouteau Lake near Union Station and on to shining towers on the Mississippi riverfront.

The vision has reappeared from time-to-time, and was a focus of the Weiss-Manfredi proposal as part of the City+Arch+River design competition. "Chouteau's Crossing" was presented as an under-the-Interstate park and connection of trails.
