Through March 24, 2021, you have the chance to submit your comments about projects seeking federal funding through East-West Gateway’s Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, including two greenway extensions!

Brickline Greenway

Among the projects currently under funding consideration is a new segment of the Brickline Greenway, which will connect Forest Park, Gateway Arch National Park, Fairground Park and Tower Grove Park in the City of St. Louis.  The first segment of the Brickline Greenway opened to the public in 2018, with the Cortex MetroLink Station between Boyle Ave. and Sarah St. This proposed grant would support a 3/4-mile greenway extension connecting the Cortex and Grand MetroLink Stations.

St. Vincent Greenway

Also under funding consideration is a new segment of the St. Vincent Greenway in Pagedale. When the St. Vincent Greenway is complete; it will extend 7 miles from the North Hanley MetroLink Station and the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus all the way to Forest Park. Currently, a two mile gap separates the northern and southern segments of the greenway. This new 1.7 mile segment of the greenway will close much of the gap, creating a new greenway path between the former Eskridge High School site and St. Charles Rock Road.
