How a nonprofit is working to rebuild north St. Louis’ trust in trees after the tornado North St. Louis already had fewer trees — then the tornado deforested the region. A nonprofit is working to replant and to heal trust in trees moving forward.

Heat kills. Plant a tree! 🌳

Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Investment - Gate District Neighborhood — St. Louis City Talk Some thoughts on the newly installed bump outs in the Gate District.

New post on some traffic calming measures. Let me know what you think of the design after checking these out as a driver or pedestrian. www.stlouiscitytalk.com/posts/2025/7...

New bump-outs being installed along Broadway downtown! 🎉 Road diet + pedestrian safety

(Added benefit of pissing off the Chesterfield folks ☺️)

Several north St. Louis County cities ask voters for a new tax for roads It's an unprecedented bit of cooperation. The proposal underscores the challenge of financing city services and infrastructure in the county's fragmented landscape of 87 municipalities

An indictment of #Fragmetnation and low-productivity auto-oriented development patterns.
Also municipalities can levy a local gas tax. It takes a 2/3 vote on a ballot proposition to pass. Shame a TDD can't levy one and charge those wearing out the streets.

Allow corner stores everywhere!

Nobody should have to get in the car and deal with a gigantic store because they suddenly need toothpaste.

When does the next bus come? GoTriangle reduces wait time on its busiest routes The regional agency joins GoDurham and GoRaleigh in offering bus service at 15-minute intervals between Durham and Chapel Hill.

Raleigh increased bus service from every 30 min to every 15 min on its route serving Glenwood Ave. Ridership then doubled in the year that followed.

Over last year, city’s high-frequency routes have had 89% ridership growth.

People will ride when you give them service that they can rely on!

The owner that's sat on it for 20 years?
