The East Loop CID was selected out of 3200 applicants nationwide and awarded a grant by the AARP for their annual Community Challenge Grant.
The grant is for artwork to bridge the north side of Delmar to the south side of Delmar in crosswalks at Delmar & Laurel and Delmar & DeGiverville. Earlier in 2022, the East Loop CID contracted with the Board of Public Service to install two crosswalks on Delmar at Delmar & Laurel and Delmar & DeGiverville.
In the stretch of Delmar east of Des Peres, there were no pedestrian crosswalks anywhere but at traffic intersections.
The crosswalk installations were completed in July 2022. Part of the project includes the installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB), lighted signage that improves the safety of the crosswalk, was generously funded by Alderwoman Shameem Clark Hubbard.
A third set of the RRFB’s will be installed in the crosswalk in front of The Pageant, the funding for that portion of the project was earmarked by former Alderwoman Heather Navarro.
The artwork portion of the project is being undertaken by St. Louis Artworks, 5959 Delmar, through their artist apprentice program.
The design process included a focus group with residents from both the West End and Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhoods and business owners on Delmar.
The final designs chosen to symbolize the bridging of the Delmar Divide and will be completed in the fall of 2022.
