@saintlouismayor Great to see you on a bike, and I hope you join the Grand Blvd Bike Bus Sunday July 7! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

This morning I rode my bike to work along with some friends and staff, and learned more about the challenges and successes we’ve had as a City when making our streets more bike friendly. There’s a lot of great projects underway - stay tuned! #BikeSTL #FriendlyStreets

Neighbors along Kingshighway are concerned about speeding traffic and uneven of bike / ped improvements @KMOV @Trailnet @saintlouismayor @ScottOgilvieSTL firstalert4.com/2024/05/30/nei…

I lived in that neighborhood and know that intersection well. It is scary and dangerous on a bike, and nearly impossible on foot. The city proposal is to keep the status quo, a three lane drag strip to maximize traffic flow. We can do a lot better than this!

@alexiszotos This is a terrible design choice which will encourage more speeding and make crossing by foot or bike all but impossible. An opportunity lost

There is no lane reduction on Kingshighway next to Tower Grove Park. Nor is there an additional crosswalk across the six lanes at the entrance on Kingshighway.

The repaving and redesign of Kingshighway has been released. Here are some of the big intersections and the proposed plans.

@danielledonfro @lochgroup Couldn't agree more. The proposal is a step back, and prioritizes the convenience of drivers over the safety of the community. A median between Magnolia and Arsenal would moderate car speeds and make crossing at Reber much safer

Immediately south of the park, KB has fewer lanes. But despite calls from the neighborhoods to remove a lane along the park @lochgroup recommended that the city preserve all 6 lanes and made no plans to add a crosswalk to connect the schools on KB to the main park entrance.

Below is Tower Grove Park--the second largest park in Saint Louis and a gem to the region. This is a story about @STLCityGov and its engineering consultant @lochgroup sacrificing access to that park and the safety of the children who play there to cars.

@danielledonfro @STLCityGov @lochgroup Detailed plans for Kingshighway can be found here: stlouis-mo.gov/government/dep…

TRAFFIC CALMING: The first designs will be released tomorrow at a meeting in Tower Grove Park of the $40+ million traffic safety improvement plans, starting with the plans for Kingshighway

@CaraSpencerSTL Recent utility work on Gravois created a temporary median which slowed traffic down and made crossing by foot or bike so much easier. We need pedestrian islands along the entire stretch

Gravois is one of the most dangerous roads within in our City. Another pedestrian was killed by hit and run just two weeks ago. This road is maintained by MODOT. Come see proposed plans to improve saftey tonight at 6pm. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Check out the calm traffic on Gravois & Pestalozzi today. A natural experiment in traffic calming, and crossing by bike / ped is a breeze (if you avoid the ditch!). We talk about stopping traffic violence - why can’t we always have this? @streetsblogkea @RyanWKrull @Trailnet

@ScottOgilvieSTL Here’s a bit of history about bike lanes on Tower Grove Ave safetga.org/?p=1074

We are working on improving one of our busiest on-street bike corridors. Design of the Tower Grove Connector Cycle Track and related roadway and intersection improvements is underway, find out more about the project and sign up for project updates here: tower-grove-connector.webflow.io

Brown water coming out of the tap in south St Louis today @STLCityGov - any news?

Anyone else seeing dirty water coming out of the tap today? South city st Louis @MSDProjectClear

Very concerning

@OmaarIbra @ASH_hematology @DiPersioLab @DingLab_WashU @WashUCancerBio @WUSTLdbbs @WashUOnc @WUDeptMedicine @WUSTLmed Congrats! And nice photo! 😂

The Tower Grove Connector, which will be a 1.8 protected cycle track that will connect Tower Grove Park with Cortex, will start construction in 2024! The project includes sidewalk and crosswalk improvements, road repavements and more. Keep updated here: towergroveconnector.com/abouttheproject

@DJSnM What’s the the time scale for these oscillations? How long does this take?

@streetsblogkea Agree. Most don’t feel safe riding on StL streets for good reason. But world naked bike ride & ghost ride show you can have safe large group rides in the city at night - for free! Maybe barricading city streets for hours isn’t the best way to show how accessible riding can be

This is sad, but IMO, what's even sadder is the fact that we need to shut down intersections and employ a full security detail for people of all ages and abilities to feel safe biking at night in STL in the first place. We deserve safe streets every day and night, 365, period.

@ElizSMcKenna @CD_AACR @KathleenHBurns @MassGenBrigham @UMLifeSciences @DanaFarber Nice figure. Is that a copyright and signature in the middle right? Haven’t seen that much in scientific figures, but not a bad idea!
