Infrastructure Projects 

 
Current Projects
Euclid Streetscape & Pedestrian Lighting

Park Central Development is sponsoring the Euclid Streetscape Project for Euclid Avenue between Forest Park Avenue and Lindell -- including new sidewalks, lighting, street furniture, landscaping and public art. Currently, residents have chosen a lighting fixture for the pedestrian lighting along the street. East side should be completed in 2012.

Bike racks and cycling infrastructure

The CWE Midtown Infrastructure Committee has chosen a bike rack design to be implemented in CWE South. Locations and installation will take place in 2012. The committee will also investigate additional cycling infrastructure, including bike lanes.

Patio at Brasserie

Park Central Development is sponsoring the reconstruction of the patio at Brasserie restaurant to allow for better draining of rainwater.

Past Projects
Boyle & Laclede Community Garden

Park Central Development has allocated funds to the start-up of the Boyle & Laclede Community Garden. To find out more about the garden, visit their website here.

Taylor Avenue Lights

Pedestrian lights were installed on Taylor Avenue between Lindell and Forest Park Parkway. The $330,000 project was funded by various sources, including $60,000 from Washington University Medical Center, $30,000 from Central West End South Business District, and $100,000 from block grant. The remaining funding came from the 17th Ward Infrastructure Funds allocated by Alderman Joseph Roddy. Organizations contributing to the implementation of the project include Park Central Development (formerly Central West End Midtown Development), Washington University Medical Center, Board of Public Services, Comptroller’s Office, Community Development Agency, and Gerstner Electric.

The pedestrian lights make this stretch of Taylor Ave more attractive and safer for pedestrians at night, and will better connect Taylor south of Lindell to Taylor north of Lindell, which already has pedestrian lighting installed. Pedestrian lighting is another initiative to make the Central West End and the 17th Ward a more walkable, pedestrian-friendly, and vibrant community.
Cutoff Cobrahead Lights

New cutoff fixtures were installed in cobrahead lights throughout the neighborhood.

Sarah Streetscape

Sarah Street boasts new sidewalks, lighting and trees from Forest Park Avenue to LIndell, thanks to a streetscape project funded by 17th Ward infrastructure funds and designed by neighborhood residents.

Wayfinders

Four wayfinders have been installed on Euclid at Forest Park Avenue, Laclede, West Pine and Lindell to guide visitors to the Central West End. The wayfinders feature a map and listing of businesses.

CWE Signage

Signs directing visitors to the Central West End are being installed along exterior streets.

Alley Repaving

Several alleys in the Central West End South have been repaved using 17th Ward infrastructure funds.

 Countdown Signals

CWE Midtown Development is working with the city to install countdown signals at busy intersections.

Street Maintenance

The Central West End South Special Business District has contracted with a landscape maintenance company to keep Euclid clean and neat  and take care of plants and flowers.

Pet Waste Stations

CWE Midtown Development installed pet waste stations throughout the neighborhood to encourage owners to clean up after their pets.

Lindell Tree Lawn

A tree lawn has brought more green to the south side of Lindell Avenue.

Imagine Art Here

Neighborhood residents brainstormed ways to include public art in the neighborhood at a charrette sponsored by CWE Midtown Development.
