Brickline Tour & Partner Perspectives, Pt. 2

As the Brickline Greenway progresses, several partners and collaborators share their thoughts on the project – from community engagement and design through construction.

Brickline Tour & Partner Perspectives, Pt. 1

Take a virtual peek at several areas along the Brickline Greenway, and hear from several of the community members and partners that are bringing this to life.

Commemorating Mill Creek Valley

In 1959, the once-thriving Mill Creek Valley neighborhood in the City of St. Louis was destroyed and its 20,000 Black residents were displaced in the name of “urban renewal.” With input from area residents and stakeholders, plus support and expertise from institutions like The Griot Museum of Black History and Missouri Historical Society, the Brickline Greenway will commemorate the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood in its former footprint along a one-mile stretch of Market Street between Compton Avenue and 22nd Street.

Brian Phillips

The Assistant Vice Chancellor of Washington University Medical Center describes the Brickline Greenway as a catalyst for equitable economic development.
