Maline Greenway: Ted Jones Trail to Forestwood Park to W. Florissant Avenue

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 new phase will link the Ted Jones Trail to West Florissant Avenue through Ferguson. It will make it possible for people to connect to neighborhoods, businesses, schools and parks via a paved, accessible greenway rather than navigating a narrow roadway shoulder.

Current Status

The project was awarded $2 million in federal Surface Transportation Program funds in 2019 that will be used for constructing this long-awaited connection through Ferguson. The greenway design is complete, and final approvals are coming soon to bid this project for construction. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026.
