Residents of the region can now run, walk, ride a bike, use a wheelchair, push a stroller or connect to transit on the recently expanded St. Vincent Greenway that stretches 1.9 miles between Forest Park and Wellston’s Trojan Park.
The onehalf mile extension, completed earlier this year, parallels the soon-to be opened Loop Trolley on DeBaliviere between Delmar and Lindell. Great Rivers Greenway and the City of St. Louis celebrated the opening of the expanded greenway during the Missouri History Museum’s free Twilight Tuesdays Concert on Tuesday, Oct. 3, from 6 to 8 p.m. Neighborhood residents and bike enthusiasts came out to check out the new extension.
There was musical entertainment from Project X – A Tribute to New Edition. Great Rivers Greenway Chief Executive Officer Susan Trautman, 26th Ward Alderman Frank Williamson and St. Louis 28th Ward Alderwoman Heather Navarro cut the ribbon to open the Greenway officially.. “It’s fitting to celebrate the expanded St. Vincent Greenway where it connects to one of our region’s crown jewels—Forest Park,” said Great Rivers Greenway Chief Executive Officer Susan Trautman.
