THE CHOUTEAU GREENWAY

The Chouteau Greenway plan calls for a unique greenway through the heart of St. Louis—from Washington University and Forest Park all the way to Downtown and the Gateway Arch. The Chouteau Greenway, plus connections to the north and south, will be part of the overall network of greenways being built by Great Rivers Greenway and partners. The greenway will connect area neighborhoods, employment centers, parks, transit and dozens of cultural and educational institutions. The competition invites designers to think beyond the trail itself to create active, vibrant spaces and destinations along the way. The goal is to have the greenway be a dynamic and unique St. Louis experience, similar to the High Line in New York City or the Atlanta Beltline. BOYLE AVENUE TO SARAH AVENUE The St. Louis region was awarded a $10.3 million US Department of Transportation TIGER grant (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) to construct a newMetroLink light rail station along with the first segment of Chouteau Greenway so employees and visitors can walk or ride bikes to connect with the Cortex Innovation Community. A formal groundbreaking was held on June 8, 2017 and construction is now underway. This project is expected to be complete in mid-2018. As a primary partner on the TIGER grant application, Great Rivers Greenway is responsible for developing the first segment of the Chouteau Greenway between Boyle and Sarah Avenues.
