At the west end of Ruth Woods, the Centennial Greenway will intersect with McKnight Road, turn north to Olive Boulevard and follow the north side of Olive through the Interstate 170 interchange into Olivette. The right-of-way is narrow throughout this segment causing the Centennial Greenway to have a more urban character and share the local sidewalks. The interchange will be reconstructed by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) beginning in the summer of 2006 with completion anticipated in 2008. The segment from McKnight Boulevard in University City to Price Road in Olivette has been designed in detail and coordinated with the MoDOT interchange construction documents. Pedestrian activated warning signals are incorporated into the Centennial Greenway at the north and south bound vehicular ramps on to I-170, and pedestrian crossings include colored and textured concrete pavement. The urban streetscape will be consistent in width and character throughout the Olive Boulevard segment, but details of the streetscape, such as tree species and lighting, are specific to each city. The Centennial Greenway includes an important north-south component that will connect from Shaw Park in Clayton to Greensfelder Park in University City following I-170, utilizing the rail corridor on the east side of the highway. The North-South Corridor is described in greater detail later in this section.
