Des Peres Avenue is a connecting corridor for people who ride bikes and is part of Bike St. Louis Phase III.
In this phase of the Bike St. Louis project, Great Rivers Greenway and the City of St. Louis are adding an additional forty miles of on-street bike routes and upgrading sixty miles of the existing Bike St. Louis network to create bicycle connections throughout the City of St. Louis and neighboring communities.
A bicycle cut through has been added to the cul-de-sac at Delmar Boulevard, and a shared use path has been added between Forest Park Parkway and Pershing Avenue.
The shared use path guides pedestrians and cyclists to the east side of Des Peres Avenue when crossing Forest Park Parkway and the MetroLink bridge. Improvements have been made to the intersection of Des Peres Avenue and Forest Park Parkway to make the crossing ADA accessible. Shared lane markings called “sharrows” are being added to Des Peres Avenue.
The sharrows mark Des Peres Avenue as a through route for cyclists and encourage drivers of motor vehicles and people riding bikes to share the road safely. Shared lane markings promote the three central principles of street smarts – attentiveness, patience and willingness to share the road with others.
The Bike St. Louis Phase III roadway improvements were developed by an advisory committee made up of representatives from various transportation agencies and residents from throughout the City of St. Louis with guidance from the public.
In partnership with the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council, the Bike St. Louis Phase III plans for Des Peres Avenue were adapted to fit the priorities identified in the Skinker DeBaliviere Urban Design and Development Plan (also known as the neighborhood master plan) as well as feedback from neighborhood residents at a public meeting that was held in March 2014.
The cul-de-sac cut through, shared use path and shared lane markings improve the connections to Delmar Boulevard and Forest Park for pedestrians and cyclists. Bike St. Louis Phase III is being funded by contributions from Great Rivers Greenway and the City of St. Louis and a $1.1 million Federal Transportation grant.
