Reconnecting St. Louis to the Mississippi River

Comments Off on Reconnecting St. Louis to the Mississippi River

CityToRiver.org is a civic initiative committed to revitalizing the historic connection between downtown St. Louis and the Mississippi River. Our mission is to advocate for the removal of the elevated Interstate 70 and replace it with a pedestrian-friendly boulevard that will reconnect the heart of the city to its riverfront.

By promoting this bold transformation, City to River aims to create an accessible and vibrant space where the community can engage with the river, foster economic opportunities, and embrace the cultural richness of the area. This initiative is about much more than infrastructure; it’s about unlocking the potential of St. Louis to become a more connected, livable, and dynamic city.

Join us as we work together to open the “front door” of St. Louis to the Mississippi River, bringing new life to the urban core and fostering a future that celebrates both its history and progress.
