SDCC is cooperation with the Washington University School of Architecture Urban Design Center is working with neighborhood residents to improve the appearance of the “four corners” at Des Peres and Kingsbury. An important step forward has already been taken. An offer by the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council to purchase the vacant southwest corner has been accepted. The current plan for this lot is to provide offstreet parking for the Clinic. SDCC, Grace and Peace Fellowship, and the library. Providing this space for parking will help to restore the on-street parking for residents of the 5900 and 6000 blocks of Kingsbury. In addition, consideration is being given to turning a part of this space into a mini-park with trees and flowers to further beautify the area. Students from the Design Center are meeting on a weekly basis with residents and building owners of the four corners area and adjacent properties at the Council office on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Any other neighborhood residents who are interested in participating on a weekly basis should contact SDCC.
