Project Overview

The master plan for the seven mile Maline Greenway is an east-west link between the Mississippi Greenway (sometimes called the Riverfront Trail) and the St. Vincent Greenway in North St. Louis County. The first phase of the greenway was completed in 2019 in Bella Fontaine County Park (on the east side of Lewis & Clark Blvd. with an underpass to connect to west side of park). This project will extend the greenway on west side of Lewis & Clark Blvd. to West Florissant Avenue.

Current Status

Planning has wrapped up! Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas and opinions about the future Maline Greenway. We received feedback from hundreds of neighbors between November 2022 and July 2023 to help finalize the route for this greenway. The final recommended route follows the utility corridor, providing a unique greenway experience and connecting area residents to parks, schools, transit, and community destinations. The development of design and construction documents kicked off in 2024 and will continue through 2025. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026.

We want your feedback!

Concept Renderings

The following images are conceptual renderings that were assembled during our planning phase. These are not the final trail designs but rather graphics to guide design conversation and envision the project area.

The new greenway will intersect with several neighborhood streets. This image shows what a greenway crossing over a neighborhood street could look like.

The new greenway will follow the utility corridor, passing through residential neighborhoods.
