Great Streets Initiative Comes to Grand Blvd.

Because of concern with Grand Blvd.'s unsafe traffic speeds, pedestrian safety, accessibility and visual appeal, the South Grand Community Improvement District (SGCID) applied for and won a Great Streets Initiative grant for technical expertise from East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWG).

After working with us to fine-tune the issues impacting Grand Blvd., the consulting team will present its concepts for transforming the corridor into an even more vibrant and exciting destination. These ideas are far from final, and your input will help guide future design decisions for the corridor.

View the design concepts and share your thoughts for improving South Grand Blvd. (from Arsenal to Utah) on Monday, March 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Carpenter Library. As an open house, you may visit anytime during the two-hour period. For those wanting to learn more about the Great Streets Initiative and the design concepts, a 30 minute presentation will begin at 6:30 pm.

For more information, please contact Rachel Witt, Executive Direct (314)772-5750 or via email rachel@southgrand.org.
