The Chouteau Greenway began as an east west proposition: connecting
green space to green space, Arch to Park. But is this one line enough?
There are neighborhoods both north and south and stories of the city
that deserve attention and unearthing, that are crying out for equitable
consideration and meaningful engagement. Our concept begins with
a recognition of the multiple narratives of St. Louis that shape its
identity, both good and not so good. An iconic landmark, a beloved
park, nationally recognized universities, biotech and innovation - these
identities are present and strong. But there are others – hidden stories,
a neighborhood erasure, histories of racial tensions. This proposal
acknowledges these icons and lost histories, gives voice to the myriad of
amazing voices and places that make St. Louis what it is and assembles
and reconciles them into the Chouteau Greenway.

EFFECTIVE AND
SAFE INTERSECTION

We propose an east-west Loop that connects Washington University to
Forest Park to downtown and the Gateway Arch. We have also proposed
a north –south Stitch, that connects Fairgrounds Park and North St.
Louis to Tower Grove Park and South St. Louis. In this way the Chouteau
Greenway inscribes itself into the city, connecting assets, opportunities,
neighborhoods, and people across its rich and diverse fabric.
The Loop + The Stitch wind through spaces that are connected by
movement, as imagined on a bicycle, in a stroller, or in your jogging shoes.
The Loop + The Stitch are about mobility, access and opportunity. The
farther reaching ambition pairs mobility with a romance for the city. The
discovery, enchantment, and appreciation that viewing a place through
the lens that movement can afford.
