basebill123 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Broken floorboards, torn up turf(basically green carpet), minimal lighting, and freezing cold. The perfect place to take ground balls... DirtyRican likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the best of the options given in the survey, although a FB friend suggested "Pevely Flats" and I liked that one.

BourbanStreet Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Bikers will be happy with that. Also with the new greenway, I heard that there will potentially be a pedestrian bridge linking main campus with the med campus or with the foundry. Anyone have any knowledge about that?

Old guy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Let's rethink this issue for a second. Does SLU have the power to plan the flow of traffic through a major avenue in that area? As a concept the plan is pretty and may provide some safety to pedestrians, but doesn't it require approval by the City before it becomes more than a plan and a pretty drawing? Just asking. Pedestrian bridges are very different from median parks, they do not affect traffic, and may improve the traffic flow by channeling pedestrian traffic.

johnbj14 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 As a person who crossed here a good deal recently, the wider median and protective measures for pedestrians make the center much safer. Since the third lane going north ends anyways, this shouldn't really be bad for traffic. I actually like this.

slufan13 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 The safety concerns here have always been exaggerated in my opinion. The design looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I biked across this intersection a lot in undergrad, and the current median "safe zone" was barely wide enough to accommodate the bike. Oftentimes I would turn my bike sideways (parallel with the flow of traffic) just to be sure I wouldn't get clipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they're more so referring to how the planned greenway will provide easier access and greater connectivity throughout the central corridor. Hopefully, in the longterm future, this spurs even more development going east of SLU towards downtown. A big problem that the city will eventually have to deal with is highway 40 dividing our city's built environment. Really prevents development and reduces access in a whole lot of areas...
