Love Bank Park shows how community vision and strategic reuse of vacant land can create a vibrant public space in St. Louis. Once two underused lots (including a parcel cleared by the City's Land Reutilization Authority), the corner of Cherokee Street and Nebraska Avenue is now a colorful plaza, basketball court and gathering place for the neighborhood. Designed by Arbolope Studio and shaped by community voices, the park features flexible space for events and recreation, permeable surfaces that manage stormwater, and designs inspired by Latin American plazas and the neighborhood's diverse culture—reflecting the creativity and energy of Cherokee Street. Learn more about the story behind Love Bank Park and the community effort that brought it to life in this recent article: landscapearchitecturemagazine.org/love-bank-park

Street Department and contractor crews continue plowing and applying ice-melting chemicals, which we expect will have a bigger effect with the sun out for several hours today, helping us melt snow and ice that plows alone can’t get 🧵 📷City file photo

Street Department crews have been out plowing all night as significant snow continued to fall across our city. Please continue to stay off the roads if possible, and give our operators the time and space they need if you must drive.

THANK YOU to our Equipment Services Division for keeping our snowplows rolling! Our fleet of 50 trucks, operating around the clock, is taking a beating. But this crew is getting them back on the road quickly. We love seeing our departments working together to get the job done!
