Collinsville Great Streets Corridor Plan

Tactical Charrette for a Supercharged Master Plan

The Collinsville Road and St. Louis Road corridor were in need of a new vision -- though the interstate represents one of the town’s oldest thoroughfares, the node of commerce that it once embodied has transitioned to the Collinsville Crossings Business District.

Farr Associates and its consultants created a plan for how the Collinsville Road and St. Louis Road corridor could claim both former and potential economic abilities, while paying homage to the historical significance of the place. 

The project also focused on neighborhood connectivity and how the roads can transition to multimodal spaces that cultivate a vibrant place based on development. Tasks of this project included developing land uses, effective multi-modal transportation networks, and wayfinding.

Additionally, modifications to infrastructure were expected in order to cultivate a vibrant place based on connections to existing neighborhoods that establish a renewed identity for the community along the Collinsville Road and St. Louis corridor.
