Mayor Jones’ Administration Launches Friendly Streets Web Page to Make it Easier to Stay in the Know on Transportation Infrastructure Improvements

The City of St. Louis has launched a new interactive map and web page called Friendly Streets, making it easier for St. Louis City residents to have easy access to estimated price tags, timelines and features of ongoing and upcoming infrastructure projects totaling more than $300 million.

“The work that is being done now and over the next few years will be transformational for St. Louisans and everyone who visits our City,” said Mayor Tishaura O. Jones. “The Friendly Streets web page and interactive map will make it easy for residents to know the what, where, and when of these massive infrastructure investments.”

Thanks to the Biden-Harris administration, Great Rivers Greenway, Bi-State Development, The Missouri Department of Transportation, and City staff, St. Louis will see unprecedented investment in our streets, sidewalks, bridges, and trails between 2024 and 2027. That work includes the redesign and repaving of more than 30 miles of arterial roadways such as Kingshighway, Grand, Union, and Jefferson, and building the 20th Street Cycle Track, the Tower Grove Connector, the Brickline Greenway and more.

The web page also outlines the key priorities of Mayor Jones and her administration in making our City’s streets, sidewalks, and surrounding infrastructure safe, convenient and enjoyable for everyone, whether they drive a car, walk, ride a bike, take public transit or use a mobility aid.

“As we rebuild our City’s transportation infrastructure with this massive overhaul of streets, sidewalks and trails, we want to make St. Louis more pedestrian-friendly, bike-friendly, disability-friendly, driver-friendly, and even neighborhood-friendly,” said Mayor Jones. “In other words, our streets should accomplish more than just facilitating car travel. They should be people-friendly.”
