Description
This session will provide expansive insight into the St. Louis Great Streets Initiative and its powerful impact on St. Louis-regional communities since its launch in 2006. The session will cover the Great Streets Initiative’s 8 principles focused on measurable results that expands thinking beyond corridor traffic planning. A panel of community leaders will share their personal experiences and actual results derived from Great Streets Initiative projects. Speakers will present case studies ranging from master- planned to fully constructed projects including several St. Louis City neighborhoods, communities of Ferguson and Dellwood, and examples at a variety of scales and investment. Case studies will illustrate how the master planning process and creation of a community vision provided a road map to incremental change, while others will dive deeper into implemented plans, lessons learned, measured outcomes, returns on investment, and cost analysis of on-going maintenance.
