City of

St. Louis, Missouri

Joe Roddy, Alderman

Vision Statement

“We create value by valuing diversity,

preserving the best of our past, and

assembling the building blocks of an

innovative economy, all within the region’s

most car optional neighborhoods.”

-Alderman Joe Roddy

17th Ward, City of St. Louis

Historic

Preservation

Executing the Vision

Alderman Roddy has charged two organizations with

executing this vision: Cortex and Park Central Development

Corporation. Cortex is responsible for building our innovative

economy, while Park Central interprets, guides, and implements

plans to achieve and protect our neighborhood’s shared values,

assuring that those values are reflected in our policies.

How policy reflects our values

Our values are reflected in policy, and it shows. Examples include:

• The expansion of historic districts, which allow for the use of

historic tax credits to encourage preservation and investment

• Requiring preservation review for all building demolitions in the

17th Ward

• Fostering the establishment of the Grove, the region’s most

diverse entertainment district

• Supporting and encouraging the large number of affordable

housing units

• Supporting car optional living, environmentally sustainable

development and increasing density by creating the region’s first

form based plan and securing funding for a new MetroLink

station

Cortex

The Cortex Innovation Community is home to a vibrant 200-acre innovation hub and technology district integrated into St. Louis’ historic Central West End and Forest Park Southeast residential neighborhoods, surrounded by nationally ranked universities and medical centers and abundant cultural and recreational assets

Cortex is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 formed in 2002 by Washington University in St. Louis, BJC Healthcare, University of Missouri – St. Louis, St. Louis University, and the Missouri Botanical Garden to capture the commercial benefits of university and regional corporate research for St. Louis.

Since its inception, Cortex has completed or has under construction 1 million square feet of new and rehabilitated space totaling $350 million of investment, while generating 4,000 technology-related jobs. The Cortex master plan projects $2.1 billion of construction, over 4.5 million square feet of mixed-use development (research, office, clinical, residential, hotel, and retail), a new MetroLink light-rail station and 13,000 permanent technology-related jobs.*

Park Central Development

The Mission

The mission of Park Central Development is to promote quality residential

and commercial development in the neighborhoods of the 17th Ward, implement

infrastructure and beautification projects, plan for future development, improve

security, market the area to new residents and visitors, and find funding sources

for neighborhood improvement projects.

Park Central Development is a

Community Development

Corporation that works on a

range of neighborhood

improvement projects in

development, infrastructure,

security, and marketing, largely

steered by neighborhood

committees.

Park Central Governance

Park Central Development is governed by a Board of Directors made up of residents and

institutions from around the ward. Neighborhood commi5ees help guide plans for

development, infrastructure, security, and marketing, built upon their shared values of

diversity, historic preservation and car optional living. Park Central Development’s target area

includes all of the 17th Ward, including all or parts of the Central West End, Forest Park

Southeast, Botanical Heights, Midtown, Cheltenham, and Kings Oak neighborhoods.

Park Central Development is funded in part by Cortex, Washington University and Saint

Louis University. Representatives of each institution, along with residents and property owners

in the 17th Ward, sit on the Park Central Board of Directors. Park Central Development in turn

works with several neighborhood organizations, such as special taxing districts including the

Central West End South Special Business District, Central West End Southeast Special Business

District, Euclid Community Improvement District and Grove Community Improvement

District, which all work to improve business and security in the area.

Park Central is also working to start other neighborhood based Community Improvement

Districts. Park Central Development works with neighborhood associations such as West Pine-

Laclede, Botanical Heights, Cheltenham, and Forest Park Southeast Neighborhood Associations.

Finally, Park Central Development helps staff the Forest Park South Business

Association. Within Park Central Development, the organization facilitates commi5ees in the

17th Ward including the Forest Park Southeast Development, Forest Park Southeast

Infrastructure, Central West End Midtown Development, and Central West End Midtown

Infrastructure commi5ees.

CWE South SBD

Development From 2011 to 2014, over $645.5 million has been invested in development/construction

projects in the 17th Ward including new residential, commercial and institutional

development as well as historic

renovation. Development revives

neighborhoods, increases

property values, and brings in

revenue to the City. Park Central

Development works with various

neighborhood organizations and

residents to ensure development

projects have a positive impact for

the community.

Projects in residential neighborhoods are reviewed by either the FPSE Development

Commi5ee, CWE– Midtown Development Commi5ee , or the Garden District

Commission. These organizations make sure our values are considered when they are

making decisions.

Park Central Development coordinates the efforts of the organizations and

commi5ees in the functional areas of development, infrastructure, security and

marketing.

Rise

Over the last decade and a half, Rise – a

nonprofit affordable housing development

organization – has completed the historic

rehabilitation of 37 apartment buildings into

100 affordable rental units and the historic

rehabilitation of 11 market rate single family

homes in Forest Park Southeast. Their total

investment in the neighborhood to date has

been over $16 million, contributing to the

preservation of the historic built environment

and diversity of the community.

GroveProperties

Many private developers are adding value to

our neighborhoods. One successful developer

is Grove Properties, which renovates historic

homes and apartments in Forest Park

Southeast, returning them to their turn of the

century glory. With the help of tax credits, they

are able to maintain the architectural style and

integrity that makes these homes as distinctive

as they are beautiful. To date, they’ve

rehabbed 12 single family homes and 40

apartment units with several more buildings

currently under construction. Their office is

located within the FPSE neighborhood on

Manchester and Tower Grove Avenue.

Infrastructure The 17th Ward is constantly working to improve infrastructure in our

neighborhoods. Projects include sidewalk repair, alley and street repaving,

streetlights, tree planting and other projects designed to improve safety and

beautify the area. To pay for these high-dollar projects, funds are gathered

from the City of St. Louis as well as other institutions and government and

nonprofit organizations. Committees consisting of neighborhood residents

prioritize budget and select our infrastructure projects.

Chouteau Park

In 2014, the 17th Ward completed Phase I of developing the

2.8 acre Chouteau Park on the formerly vacant block at

Chouteau and Newstead. Infrastructure improvements in-

cluded removing Donovan Place, environmental remediation,

regrading and sodding, planting trees, and installing light-

ing, seating, play structures, and other park features.

Manchester Avenue Streetscape In 2011, the 17th Ward completed the $2 million Manchester

Streetscape project which included the reduction of car lanes,

widening sidewalks and pedestrian curb outs, installing pedes-

trian lighting, planters, bike racks, and public art pedestals. The

Manchester Streetscape project has been integral to the revival

and success of the Grove entertain district.

Euclid Avenue Streetscape Currently, work is underway on the Euclid Streetscape pro-

ject to incorporate new sidewalks, lighting, landscaping, and

public art in between Forest Park Ave and Lindell.

Additionally, rain gardens will be installed to reduce storm

water overflows, improve tree growth and reduce water

pollution from runoff.

Security

Several security initiatives are under way within the 17th Ward to ensure our

communities are safe places to live and visit. Residents regularly meet with

representatives from the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department, the

Central West End Neighborhood Security Initiative (NSI), and private security

forces in Forest Park Southeast and the Grove to discuss safety issues at

meetings throughout the ward.

NSI and The Central West End Security Forum

The Neighborhood Security Initiative (NSI) was created in 2007 to serve the

community with a comprehensive plan for security in the Central West End.

This program works closely with the Police Department, supplemental security

companies, the Central West End residents and businesses to unify prevention

efforts and respond more efficiently to crime as a community. The CWE Security

Forum meets bimonthly at the Mahler Ballroom. Please visit the NSI website for

more safety and security information and meeting times. (www.cwensi.com)

SecurityVendors

CWE South SBD and CWE

Southeast SBD work with the NSI to

hire TheCity~sFinestto patrol and

heighten security in the area. Grove

CID also hires off-duty patrol

of!icers to improve security along

Manchester and the surrounding

area.

GPS Tracking Devices To ensure supplemental patrols are performing their

assigned duties, private security patrols are equipped with GPS devices, which

allows for live tracking, printable maps, and historical display of where the

patrols have been for a particular time period.

Mapping Software The NSI administrative staff is trained to operate Geograph-

ical Information Systems mapping software, which creates detailed maps to

inform supplemental patrols and Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department of

recent activity and trends.

Street Lighting Projects The Central West End Southeast Special Business

District (CWE SE SBD) and Alderman Joe Roddy most recently provided

funding for a pedestrian lighting project on the 4100 and 4200 blocks of Laclede

Avenue in the Central West End. The project was completed July 2015.
