Once past the bridge, the Centennial Greenway will again veer west and follow the north bank of the River des Peres to Groby Road, passing under vehicular bridges at Hanley Road and <br />North and South Boulevard. This section of the Centennial Greenway offers an excellent opportunity to terrace the south bank of the channelized River des Peres, creating a wetland edge, <br />increasing river meander, and developing a naturalized park area. The riparian edge could include a boardwalk for wildlife viewing and interpreting the renovated river corridor. The <br />U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) is currently in the planning stages of a feasibility study to improve the channel. The Centennial Greenway design effort should be coordinated with <br />the COE planning schedule to create a partnership for the project. As the trail enters the flood plain to pass under the bridges, a low stone wall and textured warning band on river <br />side should protect the trail from flooding in minor storm events. The wall height should be determined based upon storm water flow calculations and designed to allow the trail area <br />to carry water during larger storm <br />events. <br /> <br />
