Episode 44 – A Conversation with Brickline Greenway’s Program Manager; Learning from St. Louis’ CityArchRiver Project

December 13, 2021 • Great Rivers Greenway • Episode 44

Emma Klues, VP of Communications & Outreach at Great Rivers Greenway, and Anna Leavey, Program Manager for Brickline Greenway, join Brendan Wiese on KTRS' The Big Sports Show. Anna has a lot of experience with complex architecture, design and construction projects and previously served a similar role with the CityArchRiver Project that recently transformed the Arch Grounds, Riverfront and Kiener Plaza.
In this conversation, the group explores several differences and similarities between the CityArchRiver and Brickline Greenway projects, as well as lessons learned then that can be applied now to Brickline. A few examples include breaking the huge project down into smaller more manageable pieces; tapping into our incredible local design & construction resources here in St. Louis; continually engaging partners, stakeholders and neighbors; and learning & evolving together throughout the process.
