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. This project will extend the existing Maline Greenway in Bella Fontaine Park 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 next steps will be to create design and construction documents, beginning in 2024. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026.

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.
