Brickline Greenway

CEO Susan Trautman helped the public agency secure multiple funding streams and dramatically grew the organization’s staff.

It gives three north St. Louis neighborhoods a better platform to approach the city or private funding sources for economic development projects.

The new section of the project received funding from a Biden administration initiative to reconnect communities that were divided by mid-century highway projects.

The vision for a greenway along St. Louis’ central corridor has been around for decades, but the idea of connecting it with communities in north St. Louis is more recent.

The Brickline Greenway aims to connect the Gateway Arch to Forest Park and Fairground Park to Tower Grove Park with pedestrian and bike paths.
