The project is tied to SLU’s campus master plan. Enhancing the safety of the very busy crossing was identified as a priority during the community engagement phase of the campus master planning process.

Leading up to the enhanced crossing, the road surface on Grand will be modified so drivers hear an audible cue to slow down.
