St. Louis Ordinance Aims to Make City More Bike-Friendly

BY: | Missouri | April 5, 2012



ST. LOUIS — A new bill signed by St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay aims to make the city a more bike-friendly place.

The bill will require development projects of $1 million or more to provide bicycle parking spaces. A signing ceremony was Wednesday at City Hall.

The ordinance was created by the Mayor's Vanguard Cabinet, which consists of young professionals who work in St. Louis.

The bill follows other recent efforts to encourage bicycle use in St. Louis, including the opening last year of the region's first bicycle commuter station. Slay's office says a more comprehensive bike plan will be announced later this year.

  • Fraud is on the rise. There is evidence that fraud has permeated virtually every government-based benefit program at the state, local and federal level. The federal government estimates that three to five percent of public assistance dollars are lost each year to fraud, and tax related identity fraud has grown 650% since 2008.
