What we’re about
We’re the St. Louis Urbanists, a grassroots advocacy group working to create safer and more effective infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycle users, transit riders, and even car drivers in the St. Louis region. Our movement aims to promote better urban design through education, organization, and engagement at every level.
We hope to create a community for like-minded individuals to hang out and discuss transportation, urban design, local politics, and other similar topics. You can join us at our online Discord server, where we share tactical wins, post resources, and discuss local issues.
Our main in-person meetups are on the 2nd Thursday of every month. These meetings are open to all. The first half of these meetings is formal discussion of our organization and project updates, and the second half is social.
In addition, we have a number of recurring meetups, such as Social Bike Rides, Urbanist Book Club, and Bus Bike Brunch. We're always coming up with new meetup ideas, and let us know if you have an idea of your own!

- Gravois Safety RideJohn D McGurk's Irish Pub, St. Louis, MO
The Coalition to Protect Cyclists and Pedestrians and St Louis Urbanists present: a 12 mile along Gravois Avenue to focus on bicycle and pedestrian safety. Bring helmets, water, snacks, and reflective gear.
Note: this ride includes sections where we will be sharing the road with cars travelling at high speeds. While the group setting should provide a level of safety, event participants should be comfortable with road cycling.
