    STREETS NOT THROUGH 2

    Abstract

    This paper explores the areas of St. Louis that were formerly a contiguous street system and were

    voluntarily dissected to create introspective neighborhoods. Primary concerns of the research are

    focused on where, why, and how these were implemented, as the city may be either adapting to

    changing market forces or in response to fear from problematic social conditions such as nearby

    crime rates. Particular focus is on spatial mapping of these elements as they relate to wards within

    the city.

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 3Streets are one of the most fundamental aspects of building a city. Many cities are

    begun as an intersection of two country lanes, which build over time and continue to evolve. In

    many cases, the road continues to widen, and the buildings that were rst built adjacent to the

    streets may evolve to be replaced by other buildings, but the original street the building facedremains the same. These same streets have the capability to de ne boundaries, or conversely the

    capability to connect towns, neighborhoods, or areas together. Streets can even create an effect of

    causing one area to grow more rapidly than an adjacent area based on its path and location.

    Once laid, a street often remains in its location. Because of their permanent nature, the

    development and pathway of cities is often correlated with the manner in which streets are laid.

    Very rarely is the path of a street subsequently diverted in a different manner. In the beginning of the twentieth century, several new designs for residential areas were presented with the plans for

    Radburn, New Jersey, from which many aspects of suburban residential development were

    copied.

    St. Louis, like many other American cities in the twentieth century, has witnessed an

    incredible change since the closure of World War II. At the time, the city was already beginning a

    de-densi cation 1, but it was radically accelerated during the 1950s, dropping to 750,026 and its

    amount of racial injustice, which often excluded entire districts from obtaining loans for

    improvements. 2 Fifty years later, the remnants of this policy can still be seen on a regional scale,

    where entire cities look blighted and beyond repair. Within the city of St. Louis, however, theeffects are more pocketed, where neighborhoods - and even segments within them mark

    changes in blight.

    In 2009, the U. S. Census Bureau reported St. Louis had a net population gain of 6,172

    from the 2000 Census, to 368,908 3, while the population of the county as a whole has declined.

    This may suggest that people have begun to move into the city. Considering market trends of

    spacious living it seems, these new residents move into a city with suburban concepts that thecentral cities must adapt to in order to regain population. For example, each condo or apartment

    often needs to have a spacious kitchen with modern appliances, and at least one parking spot per

    tenant. If the city wants to revive itself, it needs to do what it can to embrace the trend. For that

    reason, a variety of urban housing incentives and redevelopment grants exist 4, which are largely

    credited with continuing the population gain. 5

    Similarly, the urban revival has impacted the citys streets. Having been built with afairly continuous street grid, St. Louis has cleaved its network in the past several decades. Now

    streets that used to exist for miles are now segmented, stopping connections between many

    residential streets and the major streets that pass along them. The irony of this is that many urban

    planners see cul-de-sacs as an objectionable idea, since in cutting the grid a hierarchy of transit

    levels is formed, leading to zoning regulations that separates housing from grocery stores and

    transit 6.2 Dedman, Bill. 1988. The Color of Money. The Atlanta Journal and The AtlantaConstitution. May 1-4.3 U. S. Census Bureau. St. Louis Population Changes.

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 7In all, there are 262 streets that used to be contiguous yet no longer are throughways.

    These sectioned pieces of infrastructure represent an important history to the usage and personal

    identi cation with the residents of the city, and how a city can choose to change in an effort to

    adapt to the diverse needs of its people.

    In the 1950s, the city was beginning to decline in population, as the rising middle-class

    population was able to move to newer houses that could be owned through FHA mortgages 7.

    Concurrently, images of owning a house with a white picket fence along a quiet residential street

    were heavily promoted in both public and private advertising. Not wanting to be outdone by a

    neighbor, many residents of the city rapidly moved westward, and the City of St. Louis lost an

    enormous percentage of its population. Many new neighborhoods were built rapidly, such as thisone: 8

    8/57

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 8As the population decline of the city pervaded, many ideas were publicly proposed that

    might re-energize the city. Several plans suggested ways of clearing the city so that it might

    have the opportunity to evolve in new ways. 9 Other urban theorists, such as Oscar Newman,

    recommended making multiple small changes and letting the city exist as it is. In Creating Defensible Spaces , his 1972 compilation of theories, Newman proposed that an area is safer

    when people feel a sense of ownership and responsibility for a particular segment of their

    community. 10 As St. Louis was the initial city of study, much of his theories were rst tested in

    the city, then later applied them on a larger scale in other cities such as Dayton, Ohio.

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 10Committee on Ways and Means. After 1977, however, there are no additional suggestions by the

    committee, and all requests are made from aldermen acting on behalf of their residents.

    There were twenty three in 1978, and fourteen in 1979, and six in 1980, a majority of

    which were in the 6 th and 28 th Wards (depicted in Appendix A). It appears from the maps that in

    the 1970s the 28th Ward did not have an drastic rise that might correspond to a communal desire

    for protection. There were only three new barricades in 1981, ve in 1982, and three again in

    1983. However, thirty new barricades were added in 1984, eighteen in 1985, and thirteen in

    1986. These were monstly concentrated in the 8 th, 18 th, and 28 th Wards. At this point, all but one

    of the barricades presently in Skinker/Debaliver had been installed, and all of the barricades in

    the 8th

    Ward had been installed as well. No signi cant events in the years 1978 through 1980 and1984 through 1986 that would indicate a speci c need to respond to a crime increase.

    Between 1987 and 1993, an average of less than four closures per year occurred, when

    three-term mayor Vincent Schoemehl left of ce. In his twelve-year tenure, 104 barricades had

    been installed under forty separate ordinances. Of these, fty- ve were planters, which many

    residents of St. Louis currently refer to as Schoemehl pots (depicted in Appendix B).

    Image 3. Sample planters.

    These planters are actually sewer pipes, cut into a four foot length then cast with a solid

    bottom and a few drainholes. In some areas, these planters are painted to look more attractive.

    It was interesting to look at Figure 5 and note that when comparing types of barricades across

  • 8/9/2019 Streets Not Through_Analysis of the Blockages and Barricades to the St. Louis Street Network

    11/57

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 11neighborhoods, Ward 5 has a larger majority of the planters than Ward 28 or 17, which may be

    due to the reduced income of the area and a weaker voice in receiving allocated funds.

    Though the barricades and planters are considered to be one of Schoemehls legacies in

    St. Louis, he had very little to do with deciding which streets would be blocked off, or by what

    method. In many cases, the decision to sequester a part of a neighborhood came from residents

    of the street itself and needed subsequent approved by the neighborhood alderman. The alderman

    would propose it at the Board of Alderman meetings, and would almost certainly be passed into

    ordinance. Initially, each street closure was considered without any sort of integrated plan or

    validation of improved property values or safety. It theoretically could have been possible to

    block off an entire neighborhood by each street requesting their own to be blocked.

    Although every street closure is commissioned with an of cial ordinance from the citys

    Board of Alderman meetings, the public records contain no mention of voting records amongst

    the aldermen themselves, or public comments prior to their voting. In lieu of going through the

    monthly or semi-monthly meetings of each, the report has narrowed to the 17 th Ward, which

    comprises Forest Park Southeast and Botanical Heights. Current Alderman Joseph D. Roddy has

    been a public servant of this area for 22 years, and his father, Joseph P. Roddy, was an aldermanon the Committee of Ways and Means in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

    In the 17 th Ward, presumably as every other area, the initial bollards were installed for a

    variety of reasons. In public meetings, the rationale for the citys installation is safety when our

    kids play on the street and slowing down the traf c in front of our houses from ying by, as

    opposed to keeping out potential criminals, and protecting out real estate values. 15

    Without question, these two levels of reasons are intertwined and yet only discussed on

    one level. By discussing aspects that often have positive connotations, such as letting the kids

    play in the street, the residents appeal to prototypical plans of suburban residential development.

    These positive connotations have a more positive outcome, as they receive more factual coverage

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 12in local press, such as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch or neighborhood publications. If residents

    were to be publicly stating a desire to prevent interaction with other residents, a newspaper could

    easily escalate the situation with editorials and one-sided coverage.

    This stems from a major issue despite many claims of safety improvement, faster

    residential sales, and so forth, there was a de nitive lack of researched, comparative analysis

    that studied whether or not these barricades made any signi cant contribution to the crime rates

    in the area. Considering the wide-spread usage in other cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, and

    Cleveland that shared issued of blight, crime, and racial tension, one would think that factual-

    based implementation could be more accessible.

    Only one recent thesis document 16 was able to be uncovered, which did prove a small

    decline in crime, with the exception that drug crimes were simply relocated to other areas of the

    13/57

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 13The discovering of the thesis seems to be at odds with a 1987 column in the Post-

    Dispatch, 17 which discussed a fairly observation-based study on the routes taken by the St. Louis

    Police Department. According to the article and illustrated in Image 5, the police cruisers would

    patrol along a prescribed route though the neighborhood of Skinker/DeBalivere, and becausethe closures formed such a series on one-way-in-one-way-out routes, the cruisers would make

    a circuit on a twenty-four minute cycle. That meant a potential car-jacker in this neighborhood

    could have almost half an hour - without disturbance - to take a vehicle. Shortly after the article

    was published, the police presumably changed their routes, and the rate of small crimes was

    reduced in the neighborhood the following year.

    Image 5. Prescribed police patrol route per Post-Dispatch, 1987.

    In line with this thinking the theory of eyes on the street promoted by Jane Jacobs

    would seem to add to increased crime, as less traf c passing through a residential street

    can allow for a higher amount of petty violence. On page thirty ve, she lists three primary

    requirements for keeping a street safe:

    17 Is This The Best Method: Police Patrol. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. May 9, 1987.

  • 8/9/2019 Streets Not Through_Analysis of the Blockages and Barricades to the St. Louis Street Network

    14/57

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 14 First, there must be a clear demarcation between what is public space and what is private space.

    Public space and private spaces cannot ooze into each other as they do typically in suburban

    settings or in projects.

    Second, there must be eyes upon the street, eyes belonging to those we might call the naturalproprietors of the street. The buildings on a street equipped to handle strangers and to insure the

    safety of both residents and strangers, must be oriented to the street. They cannot turn their back or

    blank sides on it and leave it blind.

    And third, the sidewalk must have users on it fairly continuously, both to add to the number of

    effective eyes on the street and to induce the people in buildings along the street to watch the

    sidewalks in suf cient numbers. Nobody enjoys sitting on a stoop or looking out a window at

    an empty street. ... Large numbers of people entertain themselves, off and on, by watching streetactivity.

    In summary, she is advocating for through streets because it allows a heavier volume of traf c,

    which in turn creates more citizens able to keep an eye on activities in the public realm of the

    street, thereby reducing traf c. Reducing the number of cars can rapidly lead to a feeling of

    isolation and neglect in an area that is not thriving, and may be a factor in reaching that urban

    condition.

    With 104 barricades in place when Vincent Schoemehl left of ce in 1993, the public

    opinion of the barricades was reported in the newspaper. 18 When asked about their own

    neighborhood, a majority of residents (65%) were either opposed or somewhat opposed to

    the installation of barricades. When asked whether or not they should be removed, eighty-two

    percent would be opposed to taking them out. It seems that once they were put into place, the

    residents grew accustomed to their location, and realized they could commence with limited

    access.

    These results seems to be similar in the 17 th ward. A comprehensive master plan was

    15/57

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 15created in 1999, in response to the increasing blighted conditions in the neighborhood. The

    barricades were a signi cant aspect of the plan by Urban Design Associates, as the lack of

    maintenance in the planters had turned them into large encasements of dirt. 19 Several changes

    were implemented, and as a result, several blocks have been converted from

    ower pots toconcrete balls, which are a marked aesthetic improvement to the ill-maintained pots but less than

    the requested granite balls.

    One of the public comments referenced in the housing section was, I have the same

    feelings [of despair] about the barriers installed in many neighborhoods throughout the region

    that interrupt traf c ow and create domains with limited access. To my mind, these structures

    are fundamentally undemocratic barriers akin to segregation.

    The typical process of beginning a street blockage begins with a petition of a minimum of

    six names belonging to the street that needs to be blocked. However, to remove the same street

    closure requires three-quarters of the neighborhood , because the city does not want to remove

    them then replace them at the next sign of fear.

    Ten years later, the barricades continue to be a topic of discussion. As noted earlier, the

    barriers often also complicate the pursuit of criminal justice. A large percentage of suspected

    criminals resist arrest while on foot, while police of cers patrol in cars and are forced to go

    through alleys or take a circuitous route to pursue. As a result, police patrol is diminished in areas

    with minimal pathways when compared to as through streets. 20

    Perhaps drawing from the precedent set by Shaw in 1985, when McBride and Sons

    redeveloped the east portion of Botanical Heights in 2005, the streets of McRee and Blaine

    were sectioned off with a curb and fence. The developers placed this condition as a requisite of

    continuing with the project, 21 which neither screens views nor bars pedestrians from accessing

    One group vocally opposed to these sectioned grids is the St. Louis Fire Department. 22

    In the fall of 2009, a major news story covered the rami cations of the barricades. A victim of

    an errant gunshot was unable to be quickly reached by medical staff, who resorted to parking an

    ambulance a block and a half away then hand-carrying her by stretcher back to the ambulance en

    route to the hospital. Although barricades were never directly blamed for the victims death, they

    certainly affected the response time. Dennis Jenkerson, the Fire Chief of the City of St. Louis

    wants them all removed. As everybody says, minutes count. And sometimes this results in a

    couple minutes of delay, says St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson. This has been an ongoing

    concern of the Fire Departments. We dont like them. They severely impede what we do.

    According to Alderman Joe Roddy, to undo these installations requires a new traf c

    plan that creates a neighborhood-wide consensus, which most believe would not occur. Though

    contested prior to installation, most neighborhood groups seem to support them once they are in22 Op. cit. Fire Chief Joins Grieving Mother in Push to Remove Street Barricades.

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 17place they are almost impossible to remove. The reason for this is that if removed, there is a high

    likelihood of a request to reinstall them after the next crime. 23

    Roddy also mentioned in the interview that sectioning off the neighborhood of Shaw was

    for reasons other than property values. He emphasized the need for the city to renew interest by

    alluring people from outside of the city into living within the borders so the city can grow. If

    people want to feel like they belong to a small group within a city neighborhood, I see no reason

    why that should be an issue. Its not a major expense, and theyre not truly permanent. If other

    people come along afterwards and want to reconnect them they can still do that. But for now,

    anything that brings people to Shaw and helps create this as a vibrant neighborhood is a good

    idea to me.

    When asked if it created mental differences from one sub-neighborhood to another, he

    replied, Well, I think that no one wants to not have them if another group has one. So weve

    gotten a number of requests to do more of them, which is still happening.

    One other possible reason a resident of Forest Park Southeast stated for keeping the

    bollards in place is bicycles. 24 Some bicyclists fear is that if the bollards are removed that

    vehicles might not stop at stop signs, and may hit a bicyclist going across the intersection. 25 The

    seemingly eternal list of scenarios for keeping them promotes a level of fear to change from the

    status quo, and therefore the barricades remain in the streets.

    In an interview, Thomas Gerran of The St. Louis Streets Department says they receive

    an average of one request a month to close a street, and only one request a year to reopen one. 26

    He reiterated that the streets department does not have the authority to close or reopen streets but

    can serve as a reasonable barometer of opinion through the city as a whole. What does not occur,

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 18however, is any sort of proposal to alter the barricades to create more attractive, permanent, or

    useful blockades.

    There are several alternative designs that have been promoted in other cities in the past

    fteen years. Some of the more common remedies are bump outs at intersections, mid block

    compressors, tabletop intersections and speed bumps that diminish dangerous vehicular traf c.

    It was stated in the City of Portlands 1997 Annual Report that creating these alternatives to

    fully blocking the street creates a more vibrant opinion on the health of the neighborhood, which

    enables investment to occur more easily within the neighborhood. 27 Attempting to understand the

    political rhetoric, it seems that gates and fences cane keep the outside of the neighborhood from

    diminishing its value, but if the value of the neighborhood is lower than those looking to investin its renewal, the barriers can act to neglect the neighborhood and reinvest elsewhere, essentially

    sectioning off a segment of the city from recovering.

    A month following the shooting incident, another news story arose. Having followed

    closely on the heels of the shooting, this event contributed to renewed discussion about the need

    for having so many barriers. On November 3, 2010, the Post-Dispatch reported that for the third

    time in a month, the St. Louis police department had failed to apprehend a suspect of burglarydue to the barricades. 28 In this case, police were chasing a robbery suspect on foot through Forest

    Park but lost him due to the barriers on Arco and Gibson in Forest Park Southeast. In a phone

    call to follow up, he is still at large, though there has not been a rapid succession of unresolved

    pursuits. 29

    This research uncovered an interesting schism in that a democratic nation is also

    capitalistic, and having to choose between each persons individual freedoms and the protection

    of their greatest asset is a complex dilemma for many residents. I believe that may residents

    likely would love to have the barriers removed, but since their largest asset is their residence,

    STREETS NOT THROUGH 19both owner occupied houses and the landlord of rental properties would probably prefer to keep

    them in order to err on the safe side. Ultimately, given the ease of implementing the barricades

    and the dif culty of extracting them, I believe that these often temporary solutions [depicted in

    Figure 4] to diminishing crime have now permanent

    xtures in the city of St. Louis, despite the ndings of this paper that indicate a low degree of correlation between installing the barricades

    and reducing crime rates.
