20th Street Mobility Improvements Project
The project will reconstruct 1.6 miles of 20th Street between Market Street and St. Louis Avenue and will consist of adding a separated bicycle path. This project will connect to the Brickline Greenway.
Overview
The project will reconstruct 1.6 miles of 20th Street between Market Street and St. Louis Avenue and will consist of adding a separated bicycle path. This is providing a critical connection to two different sections of the Brickline Greenway, part of the Great Rivers Greenway (GRG)’s growing network of greenway paths throughout three counties.
About the Project
The project will reconstruct 1.6 miles of 20th Street between Market Street and St. Louis Avenue and will consist of adding a separated bicycle path. This is providing a critical connection to two different sections of the Brickline Greenway, part of the Great Rivers Greenway (GRG)’s growing network of greenway paths throughout three counties.
The new 60-foot wide corridor will provide a safer and more attractive experience for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, vehicular drivers, and property owners. The project upgrades the poor condition of the roadway and its pavement markings, sidewalk, signals, lighting, signing and street trees, while creating an accessible corridor for all users.
The project connects to the new Brickline Greenway and MLS stadium at Market Street. This project has $5 million in federal funds committed for construction. This project supports the Project Connect Action Plan.

Project Goals
- Increase safety and better serve pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, vehicular drivers and property owners
- Upgrade the poor condition of the roadway and its pavement markings, sidewalk, signals, lighting and signing
- Create an accessible corridor for all users
- Transfer the bicycle facility from North Jefferson Avenues and Parnell Street to 20th Street, and eliminating the on-street bicycle facility that currently exists
- Improve vehicular trip efficiency with new interconnected signals
- Support the existing community fabric of residents and businesses
- Assist in changing neighborhood perceptions through streetscape enhancements
- The project provides connections between GRG's proposed Brickline Greenway, the City's planned bicycle pathway ending at Market Street, and future/existing bicycle routes identified along Chestnut Street, Olive Street, Washington Avenue, and St. Louis Avenue.
The project bridges the gap between downtown and North St. Louis by creating a truly low-stress multimodal corridor that safely moves people.
