Happy Hump Day on a Thursday. Speed hump day, that is. New speed humps are popping up all over. Pictured here: - Arkansas St - East of the park - Reber Pl - West of the park

Rent-a-scooter seems to be a thing in Tower Grove Park again. I've seen as many as 8 of them just south of Turkish Pavilion.

Hosted a crosswalk action at busy Tower Grove Park today and helped guide so many people across the crossing. Drivers definitely slowed when they saw our vests and signs and pedestrians just loved it. This is your Tower Grove Traffic Report. @towergrovetraffic.bsky.social #stlurbanism

Crosswalk Ambassadors bringing awareness to a crosswalk at Tower Grove Park

One pedestrian just loved being escorted so much that she treated the crosswalk like a runway. She waved and thanked us profusely

A new refuge island at Grand near Pestalozzi joins the preexisting bunker. Motorists now enjoy bi-directional "nudges" not to ensmashinate people crossing Grand.

I don't get paying for 'sharrows'. They have a picture of a bicycle to show what mobility could have been created if they actually had chosen to make the road safe? Wherever sharrows are, most bicyclists fear to ride. Truth in advertising would replace the sharrow bicycle with a car.

Say what you will, there's now a night and day difference between the speed of the northbound traffic and the southbound traffic on S. Grand by the park. I have never been able to feel "before" and "after" of lane removal so viscerally. I like it!

Based on these spray paint markings, it looks like the East gate of the park is going to get curb bump outs. This is traffic calming to slow motorist traffic from careening into the park at high speed.

towergrovetraffic.bsky.social @towergrovetraffic.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Check out this sweet new path curb cut, bridging the treacherous gutter near the East gate! Finally, one of the nicest, smoothest paths in the park is accessible.

Real talk: there are a lot of out-of-towners with cars in the park. They're driving crazy. Be careful. I just saw some idiot go clockwise through the traffic circle into an oncoming peloton of cars. Then Proceeded to go West on Southwest Dr, which is one-way to the East.

Infamous car parking strategy - why block one lane when you can block two lanes? 4200 block Arsenal today, on the park side. Camera is looking east.

Sure, St Louis Police, just end the bike lane in the middle of a busy intersection.

Road work on South Grand makes bicycling hell. I'd avoid the place. Also motoring's pretty bad.

After approximately 42.8 days, looks like we're averaging 177 bikes/day and 202 walkers/day.

I rode the park at 11pm last night. The place had trash _everywhere_. It looked like 25 messy picnics had dropped their litter in the grass, in the street, in the streams.

Graffiti. Looks like groundskeeping already got to it, but didn't really expunge it fully.

Someone scratched "Kill Trump" into the roadway.

We can build concrete curbs either curved or with sharp angles. The brand new Tower Grove Connector features a mix of smooth and sharp. Which type would you rather hit with your head?
