Cortex/Tower Grove Bicycle Connector Project Phase 1
The Cortex/Tower Grove Connector project is comprised of two phases designed to improve access to residences, parks, businesses, and schools around Tower Grove Park and the Grove Neighborhood.
Project Overview
Tower Grove and Vandeventer Avenues have emerged as major bicycle routes in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving as key connectors for cyclists and other road users. This project corridor spans five wards and six neighborhoods, linking residents, workers, and visitors to essential destinations, including the Saint Louis Language Immersion School, Missouri Botanical Garden, Tower Grove Park, and Interstate 55. By addressing critical mobility and safety concerns, this project will enhance accessibility for residents and businesses in the bordering neighborhoods, fostering economic revitalization and strengthening the city’s multimodal transportation network.
Phase 1 of this project covers a 2.2-mile corridor along Vandeventer Avenue, extending from Laclede Avenue in the north to Tower Grove Avenue and Magnolia Avenue in the south. As a key component of the City’s broader transportation strategy, the project aims to increase pedestrian, bicycle, and transit use while reducing traffic congestion. As development accelerates and traffic demand nears capacity, upgrading this corridor will enhance mobility and safety. The reconstruction will strengthen pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure while improving traffic management, supporting sustainable growth and a more efficient multimodal transportation network in central Saint Louis.
