Brickline Greenway:
North Connector Open House Events for Property Owners
Hello Property Owner! You recently received a letter regarding plans for the Brickline Greenway North Connector. The greenway is coming your way, and we have important information to share with you! We are hosting two open house events in your neighborhood so we can update you on the status of the design for the greenway and discuss potential project-related impacts in the project area.
Please click here to RSVP for an Open House event.

Important Information About The Brickline Greenway North Connector and Your Property
Why did I receive this letter?
Your property is immediately adjacent to the Brickline North Connector project area. While improvements anticipated for the Brickline Greenway North Connector will be built on public property within the street right-of-way, there are occasions when temporary use of a portion of nearby properties will be required to accommodate construction.
Coordination with the project team will help to minimize any potential impacts during construction and to reduce temporary disruption to your property.
What is meant by "temporary use of a portion of nearby property?"
For example, a sidewalk being built along a property line will need an additional foot of space to install the wooden formwork needed to pour concrete. After the sidewalk is finished, the construction team will remove the formwork and restore the adjacent lawn in the same or better condition. The current design for the Brickline Greenway North Connector will require a temporary construction easement on several properties along N. Spring Ave.
There will be no permanent changes to, or acquisition of, neighboring properties required for this project. All uses and adjustments to any nearby properties are temporary.
What is a temporary construction easement?
A temporary construction easement (TCE) is a legal agreement that allows one party to temporarily use the other party’s land for a specific purpose related to a construction project.
What does this mean for my property?
Learn more about the improvements coming your way! Visit us at one of the following Open House events to meet with the Brickline Greenway North Connector project team:
- Tues., April 29, 2025, from 9-11am at Deaconess Foundation, 1000 N. Vandeventer (63113)
- Tues., April 29, 2025, from 4-7pm at Deaconess Foundation, 1000 N. Vandeventer (63113)
At these open house events, we will review detailed plans showing the greenway design adjacent to your property and any proposed temporary construction easements needed. Our design team will be on hand to answer your questions. Click here to RSVP for an Open House event.
I can't attend the open house events. What can I do?
If you are unable to attend either of these events, we would be happy to schedule a time to meet virtually with you individually to discuss this project. Interested in scheduling a Zoom meeting? Request a meeting time in May here.
About the Brickline Greenway North Connector
The Brickline Greenway trail will connect four major parks through St. Louis: Fairground Park, Tower Grove Park, Forest Park and the Gateway Arch National Park. The first phase of the Brickline Greenway North Connector will travel south along Grand Blvd. from Natural Bridge Road to Cass Avenue, then along Cass Ave to North Spring Avenue. This project broke ground on March 24, 2025 and construction will begin later this Spring. The next phases of the North Connector will continue along North Spring Avenue to Lindell Blvd. where it will link to the Saint Louis University campus. Both of these projects will provide major infrastructure improvements in your neighborhood, including widened accessible sidewalks, protected street crossings, enhanced street lighting, shade trees and other landscaping, and road realignments that will allow for a safer and more enjoyable vehicular, pedestrian and cyclist experience.
