Great Rivers Greenway is inviting the community to celebrate the opening of the Brickline Greenway segment that runs on Market Street from 22nd Street to Compton Avenue segment at 4:30 p.m. April 13, 2026, at Harris-Stowe State University.
The 0.85-mile path extends Damon Davis’ “Pillars of the Valley” work commemorating Mill Creek Valley to a mile-long art installation, plus a new mural from St. Louis ArtWorks teens which honors the St. Louis Stars world champion baseball team.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the 0.8-mile Spring St from Page Blvd to Lindell Ave segment is set for 3:30 p.m. May 1 in conjunction with Grand Center’s First Friday series.
The project will be soliciting bids this spring, local construction firms are encouraged to subscribe for bid alerts.
In addition, construction is underway on the 1.3-mile north connector of Brickline Greenway, which runs along Grand Boulevard from Fairground Park at Natural Bridge Avenue south to Cass Avenue, west to Spring Avenue, and south to Page Avenue.
Brickline Greenway enters 2026 more than 64% funded with recent grants secured, according to Great Rivers Greenway CEO Mark Perkins.
“The vision of Brickline Greenway is a vibrant, connected St. Louis and it’s becoming a reality, with construction advancing while centering access and opportunity,” said Perkins.
Great Rivers Greenway is leading the project to connect 14 neighborhoods and four major city parks with 10 miles of greenways.
It was recently awarded a $6 million federal grant through East-West Gateway for the segment of Brickline Greenway connecting the Cortex MetroLink Station to Forest Park, which includes private matching investments.
Congressman Wesley Bell also recently secured an $825,000 appropriation from the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Subcommittee for the same segment.
