Press Release for May 1st event
Additional quotes available to use:
“Brickline Greenway along Market Street has the potential to be a love letter to St. Louis, a microcosm of what the city has to offer. The Arch and Forest Park are 2 major assets, but there are countless wonderful places in between. What’s now a 7-lane road that seems like a thoroughfare will feel totally different when we add the greenway, trees, flowers, art, benches, and places to gather, while still keeping plenty of room to drive and park. My hope for the future is that people can spend the entire day exploring downtown without needing a car to get between adventures.” – Kuleya Bruce, Project Manager, Great Rivers Greenway
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to knit St. Louis together. It is our moment to thoughtfully invest in affordable housing, develop new art and greenspace, stimulate business growth, and create miles of safer, more livable communities. It’s not just an inspiring vision for St. Louis, it’s doable.” – Elizabeth Mannen Berges, Brickline Greenway Campaign Co-Chair, Managing Director of Investments, Mannen Financial Group of Wells Fargo Advisors and Lead Trustee, Berges Family Foundation
