Book excerpt: Excerpt from River Des Peres Plan: Concerning Largely the Industrial and Residential Expansion and Economic Welfare of St. Louis Gentlemen: - The danger from flood and pollution in the River des Peres Valley has caused, from time to time, a demand for relief from intolerable conditions. In addition to a proposed sewer and channel for this valley it has been suggested that a railroad be built to complete the belt line about the city, and also that a driveway be built through the unusually attractive scenic area. Realizing that these and other local matters should be given simultaneous consideration, and realizing further that the mere elimination of flood and pollution troubles would not alone give to a vast idle but important section of the city the impetus to the early residential and industrial development which should come here, the City Plan Commission has caused to be prepared this River des Peres Han as a basis for any contemplated action. Included in the plan is a sewer and channel designed by the Division of Design, Department of the President, Board of Public Service; a railroad designed by the Department of Public Utilities, Board of Public Service; a driveway; a complete major street plan; and provision for the establishment of an industrial area of approximately 950 acres. The urgency for relief from present conditions in the River des Peres Valley has prompted the preparation of this report previous to a Comprehensive Plan for the city at large. With respect to the section under consideration, however, the plan is believed to be comprehensive and will be in absolute conformity to all city expansion.
