A North County couple got their outdoors fitness on walking the Maline Greenway in Bella Fontaine County Park, which is located at 9565 Bellefontaine Rd., when its opening was celebrated at a ribbon cutting on Thursday, May 9. This project created 1.6 miles of the planned seven-mile Maline Greenway, an east-west link that will connect the Mississippi and St. Vincent Greenways. The first phase includes new and refurbished, ADA-accessible walking and biking paths and the replacement of three bridges. There is also a new underpass beneath Highway 367/Lewis & Clark Boulevard. When complete, the Maline Greenway will travel along Maline Creek through the cities of Berkeley, Kinloch, Ferguson, Jennings, Moline Acres, Bellefontaine neighbors and Riverview in St. Louis County and the City of St. Louis.
