Shaping Our Streets

​​​​How St. Louis Residents Learn about Street and Sidewalk Projects

​

The City of St. Louis, the Board of Public Service, the Planning and Urban Design Agency, and the Streets Department make decisions about streets and sidewalks every year. Examples of decisions they have to make include things like where crosswalks go, which roads get repaved, how bike lanes are routed, and where sidewalks finally get repaired. But unfortunately, residents often learn about these decisions after they're made, not before.

​

The launch of the Department of Transportation is a rare opportunity to reset the pattern and for the city to take a more proactive approach to addressing our streets. Transform wants to make sure that the voices of the community are included in the Department of Transportation's decision-making - starting with real information from real residents about what's working and what isn't.

​

​​Every response to the Shaping Our Streets survey helps build a clearer picture of what St. Louis residents actually need, setting the standard for what St. Louisans expect and deserve from the new department.

 

And that's why we need YOU to take it!

 

Whether you've felt genuinely heard by the city or completely left out of the conversation, we want to know.​​ Data from our survey will be shared with the City so they can get the Department of Transportation started with information that represents the real opinions of St. Louisans.
