We had a great turnout this weekend for the Plan STL Area 4 Walking Audit along the N. Grand Blvd corridor. Residents and partners came together with Rise and the YPs to walk the corridor, share insights, and help shape a community-driven vision for the future.

From connectivity and access to placemaking and local destinations, the conversations and lived experiences shared brought real depth to the planning process. We are grateful for the strong engagement across generations and the continued partnership driving this work forward.

This past Tuesday, Planning Area IV hosted a community meeting at Friendly Temple Church, and Rise Young Professionals were proud to attend and volunteer

Planning Area IV is part of the City’s PlanSTL Neighborhood Planning Initiative, bringing together seven neighborhoods—College Hill, Fairground, O’Fallon, Penrose, Hamilton Heights, Kingsway West, and Wells-Goodfellow—to create a shared, action-focused plan for the future.

Together with partners at Rise, MKSK Studios, Development Strategies, and Added Dimension, this work centers on community voices and focuses on housing, retail, mobility, parks, and workforce development to drive real investment and impact.
