Environmental Assessment (EA) for Implementing CityArchRiver Initiative Elements


The NPS is pleased to announce the availability of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for Implementing CityArchRiver Initiative Elements at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. The EA has been developed in coordination with our cooperating agencies (Missouri Department of Transportation, Federal Highways Administration) and the Great Rivers Greenway District. It analyzes three alternatives for projects proposed by the winning design competition team and park partners as part of the broader CityArchRiver initiative.

The park has recommended alternative 3 as its preferred alternative to the Regional Director of the NPS Midwest Regional Office. This alternative includes a new landscape over I-70 to connect the Old Courhouse and a redesigned Luther Ely Smith Square to a new west entrance and an updated underground visitor center/museum. In addition, this specific alternative includes removal of the Arch Parking Garage, replacing it with a new park landscape; improvements to security, accessibility, plantings, and exhibits throughout the park; and additional changes proposed for the park's east slopes, reflecting ponds, processional walks, and Old Courthouse, as well as the Central Riverfront.

The EA comment period will run until March 1, 2013. You may provide comments through this website, or:

--at the January 29, 2013 public open house, 4-7 PM at the Old Courthouse, 11 North 4th Street, St. Louis, MO 63102; or
