Drawing a considerable amount of media interest in town over the past week, this Saturday's debut of a new bike/hike extension has local environmentalists and outdoor enthusiasts buzzing, as well. The Branch Street Trestle has long been a sizable, abandoned piece of the sightlines of North St. Louis, but this weekend's event highlights the structure's exciting new life as a link to the McKinley Bridge Bikeway.
You can find full info at the Great Rivers Greenway website.
