City to River

Volunteer group seeking ways to improve connectivity between riverfront & downtown STL, including replacement of a mile of former I-70 with a boulevard.

Strange thing, they were already connected by the oldest urban invention, the sidewalk. https://t.co/h23dtY0YZO

The @CityArchRiver Project will connect Downtown St Louis with @GatewayArchSTL & the River: https://t.co/LvWLtFp8lE

[Jason Grill @JasonGrill]

Yes. Fascinating plan. "Should Kansas City tear out the north freeway loop in Downtown for use in new development? https://t.co/TRfgTetoDs"

MSD says 4 million gallons of raw sewage a day still flows into Meramec River,during meeting with Arnold residents.

A highway to boulevard idea makes it on a Transportation Improvement Plan TIP in Rhode Island @CityToRiver https://t.co/pM141I8qOe

On @HEC_TV right now: John Goodman is narrating a documentary about River Des Pres. Appropriately named "A Sewer Runs Through It."

. @StayTunedSTL Nothing will happen while I-70 still exists. Remove that, and N. Broadway becomes a more opportune extension of downtown.

@MayorSlay Reconnect downtown to the river by removing the elevated lanes of a redundant and costly interstate? #healthegrid

[St Louis Unite @stlunite]

Examine what's lovable about the neighborhoods we love and replicate that on the north riverfront. And remove the highway.

[Brian S. @downtownstlbiz]

@CityToRiver And most of the properties are owned by the same entity - that could be a plus.

[City to River @CityToRiver]

Imagine if you can: the Rams leave, & the stadium is never built. We'll have a historic riverfront w/ potential that needs to be activated.

[Tony Messenger @tonymess]

More levees. Higher levees. Massive floodplain development. No room for rivers to roam. Problems being pushed downstream. This is our fault.

[Tony Messenger @tonymess]

After 1993 Flood, the #STL region did mostly the opposite of what was recommended in Galloway Report. 2015 Flood is the result. #stlwx

[Jack Coatar @JackCoatar]

Hundreds of volunteers in South City filling sand bags to shore up the River Des Peres levees.

[Brett A. Blume @brettblumekmox]

Too many volunteers to count as sandbagging effort along River Des Peres gets into full swing.

@jeffrainford @jrosenbaum Both, you already knew that.

[City to River @CityToRiver]

@jeffrainford @jrosenbaum There have been improvements and new businesses along our painfully isolated riverfront. Time for a field trip?

[City to River @CityToRiver]

.@jeffrainford @jrosenbaum The interstate cutting the riverfront off from downtown makes redevelopment difficult. It's happening anyway.
