From 28th Ward Alderman Lyda Krewson:
Friday I received notice from Great Rivers Greenway that, weather permitting, they will begin painting bike lanes on Union next week. This is part of Bike St. Louis Phase III.
Union is a very wide road with fast moving traffic. The new buffered bike lanes will run from Martin Luther King to Lindell (Forest Park). The project is expected to ‘tame’ Union and make it safer especially for walkers and bike riders.
There will still be parking along the curb, then a bike lane, then the driving lane.
