Meet the Brickline Greenway

Project of

a vision this bold Takes all of us.

Let’s reimagine our city with 10 miles of greenway paths where we can walk, run, ride a bike, push a stroller or roll a wheelchair, connecting a dozen neighborhoods, four major parks, business and arts districts, job centers, schools and everything in between. Let’s open access to other parks and trails, to train and bus stops, filling in gaps along the way with open space, art, events and even new places, making everything feel vibrant and connected. Much more than a trail, this movement is catalyzing growth, collaboration and shared prosperity.


Let’s see what impact a greenway can have.

Brickline Greenway is quickly becoming a nationally recognized example of innovative, cooperative, inclusive growth with an impact that will last decades. Neighbors are excited, the business and philanthropic communities are invested, local and federal tax dollars are already committed, with more to come. This project has a bold vision, broad-based buy-in and momentum. Learn more, hear community voices and find upcoming opportunities:

Equity

Economy

Let’s build civic trust and create shared prosperity.

Let’s make St. Louis a vibrant place to start up, stand out and stay.

Brickline Greenway targets areas with high needs and huge opportunities so people benefit from the growth this greenway will bring: affordable housing, job training and wealth creation.

Brickline Greenway is a key strategy in the STL 2030 Jobs Plan. Similar projects such as the Indy Cultural Trail and Atlanta Beltline and others report rate of return being 4 to 8 times the rate of investment.

Quality of Life

Environment

Let’s change the way the city feels, how people connect and explore, how neighborhoods can thrive.

Let’s get people moving in beautiful spaces that make us resilient and sustainable.

Walking or riding a bike can be a safe, fun and healthy choice if we make our streets work for everyone. Connecting destinations together makes for a dynamic St. Louis experience.

Brickline Greenway is adding thousands of trees to areas nearly devoid of them, which manage stormwater and cool things down, lowering our stress and blood pressure.
