Facility Description

  • Lindell Boulevard extends from Skinker near the City Limits to Grand and then continues as Olive Street to N. 4th in Downtown St. Louis.
  • Lindell/Olive west of Tucker is classified as a minor arterial which means that it carries longer distance flows between important activity centers such as Downtown St. Louis, SLU, Grand Center, Forest Park, and Washington University.
  • Existing street section consists of two lanes in each direction.
  • The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for the length of the study area is 9,770 vehicles per day (vpd). The segment from Union to West Pine has the heaviest volume at 12,353 vpd.
