NORTH GATEWAY, CORRIDOR SEGMENT 1 Th e North Gateway, which runs from the I-270 interchange in the north to just south of Keelen Avenue, is a major economic development hub. Th e area is characterized by highway-serving bigbox retail, including a successful Wal-Mart. A new transit center, planned for the northeast corner of the North Gateway, will be a major new regional hub. Few signifi cant land use changes are expected in this segment. North Gateway Vision: A regional retail center that draws customers to West Florissant Avenue from surrounding communities A dedicated multi-use path on the east side and widened west sidewalk signifi cantly improves non-motorized access. A new green median is used in the center turn lane, while still providing a high-quality pedestrian refuge. A green buff er helps protect pedestrians and cyclists from traffi c along both sides of the street. In the long term, evolving standards, maintenance capabilities, and technologies may allow the addition of more trees and wider buff ers, although this will strictly depend on leadership and collaboration from the cities of Ferguson and Dellwood, and on the outcomes of MoDOT’s study of the I-270 interchange and Metro’s design of Bus Rapid Transit on the corridor.
