Supplemental Information

The City of St. Louis is currently making considerable investments in traffic calming improvements. More than $46 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding has been dedicated to roughly 30 miles of high-crash arterial streets. Construction began in 2025 and will continue through 2026. 

 ARPA-funded projects will include repaving, lane reductions, segments of protected bike facilities, enhanced crosswalks, bump-outs, and other pedestrian safety. They reflect a coordinated commitment to using federal relief dollars to reduce speeds, shorten crossings, and expand safe mobility options across some of the city’s most dangerous corridors.

The City, MoDOT, and Great Rivers Greenway also continued to expand the region’s bike network in 2025, completing more than five miles of new and upgraded bike lanes, protected cycle tracks, and greenway connections. Beyond expanding mileage, investments focused on upgrading corridors with safer intersection treatments, improved crossings, medians, road diets, repaving, and pedestrian signal enhancements. 

Combined, these infrastructure improvements help reduce vehicle speeds, shorten crossing distances, clarify right-of-way, and create more protected space for people walking and biking. They represent essential steps towards strengthening the overall safety and connectivity of St. Louis’ transportation network.

In 2025, St. Louis County continued making streets safer and more accessible through federally funded bike and pedestrian investments. These projects include adding shared-use paths, reconstructing sidewalks and curb ramps to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), upgrading traffic signals, installing new crosswalks, and in some cases reconfiguring travel lanes to reduce speeds and improve safety.  

95 County projects that included bicycle or pedestrian infrastructure improvements received federal funding in 2025 for construction, planning, and design, showing the County and MODOT are investing more broadly and consistently in multi-modal safety improvements. A few key projects from 2025 are highlighted below.
