2017 AARP Community Challenge Grantee St Louis Missouri
2017 AARP Community Challenge Grantee - St. Louis, Missouri About
GRANTEE: St. Louis' transit system covers 46 miles and hosts 37 stations of light-rail and interconnected bus systems. A one-day pop-up market in the North Hanley Station's massive, underused parking helped the community see how the space could be better used. The event featured dining and retail options, Tai Chi sessions and entertainment. Attendees were asked to share their ideas for the space and, if they chose, use LEGO blocks to create a model of the lot’s possibilities. The funds “quick-action” projects that build momentum for local change to improve livability for people of all ages.
