CITY COUNCIL AGENDA SUBMISSION
July 14, 2026

Agenda Item:
Consideration of Centennial Greenway Light Industrial Segment Lighting
Description:
Great Rivers Greenway is currently designing the Centennial Greenway segment connecting
Olive Boulevard at CVS to the Dielman Road crossing at Napoleon Boulevard. This segment is
primarily located within the northeast quadrant’s Light Industrial District, offering a setting that is
unique among trails in the City of Olivette. Due to the remote nature of the rail corridor and the
industrial park property adjacency, the design team is evaluating the use of trail lighting to
enhance user safety and visibility. WSP, the project’s engineering consultant, has prepared the
attached lighting evaluation, which incorporates the specific considerations requested by City
staff.
Staff recommend considering this Greenway segment as a right-of-way transportation corridor
rather than as Parks property. If Council supports this designation, the Parks Commission will be
advised of the decision and provided with the lighting study, which includes recommendations
consistent with current policy.
Recommended Action:
Council direction for staff to proceed.

Centennial Greenway Segment 599B — Planning/DD-Level Lighting Evaluation

PROJECT NO.:

US-WSP-193454B

1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1.1 Scope for Planning-Level Lighting Evaluation
Evaluates conceptual lighting alternatives for Centennial Greenway Segment 599B shared-use path.
Covers corridor-wide lighting needs, fixture alternatives, DarkSky compliance, utility coordination, and
preliminary cost considerations.
Planning/DD level; does not constitute final design. Photometric modeling and final fixture selection are
deferred to DD/CD phases.
Prepared per Great Rivers Greenway design standards, City of Olivette outdoor lighting requirements, and IES
RP-8.

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 Corridor Overview
The Centennial Greenway is a 17-mile multi-use trail corridor in St. Louis County, Missouri, connecting Forest
Park to Creve Coeur Park through University City, Olivette, Ladue, Clayton, Creve Coeur, and Maryland Heights.
Segment 599B extends through the City of Olivette and is designed as a 12-foot shared-use path per Great
Rivers Greenway standards, with 5- to 6-foot landscape buffers separating the path from adjacent vehicular
traffic.
Page 1

Segment 599B begins at the intersection of Napoleon Boulevard and Dielman Road, connecting to Indian
Meadows Park to the west. From this point, the trail follows Dielman Road approximately 360 feet to the
south, then turns east and continues for approximately 1,240 feet between the Dielman industrial area and
adjacent undeveloped land. The alignment then transitions onto the inactive Norfolk Southern Railroad rightof-way, where it follows a dedicated off-road corridor southeast for approximately 1,960 feet through
industrial areas before reaching the at-grade crossings at N Price Road and Alice Place.
At the intersection of N Price Road and Alice Place, the trail shifts from the rail corridor to existing sidewalk
and sidepath infrastructure. It then continues southeast along N Price Road through a commercial corridor and
terminates approximately 1,050 feet beyond, between CVS Pharmacy and Chevy’s, where it connects to the
existing Centennial Greenway shared-use path on the north side of Olive Boulevard. See Figure 2.1-1 for
Project Area Overview.
Key at-grade conflict points within the segment requiring enhanced lighting include the Dielman Road midblock crossing, the N Price Road and Alice Place crossings, and the transition from the inactive rail corridor to
the Olive Boulevard sidepath. Transition zones where the trail character changes, particularly between the
Dielman Road sidepath, the inactive rail corridor, and the Olive Boulevard sidewalk — also warrant focused
lighting design to address shifts in ambient conditions and user orientation.

2.1-1: AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH — CENTENNIAL GREENWAY SEGMENT 599B - PROJECT AREA OVERVIEW

2.2 Surrounding Land Uses and Context
The following land use descriptions are scoped to the Segment 599B corridor between the Napoleon
Boulevard / Dielman Road intersection and the trail terminus on Olive Boulevard at CVS Pharmacy / Chevy’s.
Page 2

Land use context is drawn from the City of Olivette zoning map and the Centennial Greenway Olivette
Alignment Study (CGAS, March 2019).
At the northwest end of the segment, Indian Meadows Park (Public Activity / PA District) flanks the trail
connection at Napoleon Boulevard. The surrounding neighborhoods north and south of the alignment consist
predominantly of single-family residential (SR District), characterized by mature tree canopy, low ambient light
levels, and sensitivity to light trespass at property boundaries.
As the trail transitions onto the inactive railroad right-of-way and continues southeast through the Dielman
Road area, the adjacent land use shifts to Light Industrial (LID District). This area includes distribution and
logistics facilities with associated vehicle and truck traffic. Security lighting from these industrial operations
contributes to ambient light spilling into adjacent trail sections along the rail corridor.
Several Public Activity zones (PA District) are located along the east side of Dielman Road and along Alice Place
near the railroad tracks. These areas serve as community resources and potential trail access points that may
warrant dedicated lighting for wayfinding and safety.
At the southeast end of the segment, the trail frontage along the north side of Olive Boulevard is zoned
Commercial/Office/Retail (COR District). This area includes CVS Pharmacy, Chevy’s, and adjacent commercial
services. Existing ambient light levels are highest in this portion of the segment due to site lighting, illuminated
signage, and roadway luminaires along Olive Boulevard.
Ambient lighting conditions vary significantly across the segment. The Olive Boulevard commercial frontage
and the Dielman industrial area are generally well-lit from existing sources, while the inactive rail corridor, the
Napoleon Boulevard approach through Indian Meadows Park have minimal to no existing lighting. This
variation supports a context-sensitive lighting approach with fixture types and spacing tailored to each
segment zone (See Appendix A for Centennial Greenway 599B - Conceptual Lighting Plans).

2.3 Existing Utility Infrastructure
A new Ameren Missouri pole and fixture are planned for the northeast corner of N Price Road and Alice Place.
This planned pole represents a potential point of connection for corridor lighting infrastructure and emergency
call box power. The fixture at this location will likely not be DarkSky-compliant, as it must meet roadway
intersection lighting requirements.
Within the inactive railroad corridor, Ameren Missouri has both distribution and sub‑transmission facilities,
including approximately 4 kV distribution lines and 34 kV sub‑transmission lines. These higher-voltage facilities
significantly constrain potential lighting pole locations and limit the feasibility of using Ameren poles for
supplemental lighting attachments due to clearance, safety, and DarkSky compliance requirements.
Existing Ameren Missouri overhead and underground distribution lines run along and across the corridor.
Locations where existing Ameren poles may be suitable for cobra-head fixture attachment will be evaluated
during DD/CD phases in coordination with Ameren.
Per JSP‑02, six utilities have been identified within the project corridor: Ameren Missouri (power distribution),
AT&T (communications), Spectrum/Charter (communications), Missouri American Water (water), Verizon/MCI
(communications), and Spire Energy (gas). No utility conflicts requiring adjustment have been identified; all
existing utilities are to be protected in place during construction.

2.4 Regulatory and Jurisdictional Context
City of Olivette: Full-cutoff fixtures required, 3000K maximum CCT, light trespass limitations, shielding
requirements, DarkSky International approved or equivalent.
St. Louis County: Standard outdoor lighting provisions per county zoning.
Page 3

MoDOT ROW: Lighting requires coordination and approval per MoDOT policy.
Multiple jurisdictions apply; the most restrictive standard governs.

ROM Cost Estimates:
•
•
•

ROM unit cost per pole assembly installed: $7,800 – $9,200 per pole
ROM conduit and wiring cost per linear foot: $42 – $58 per LF
ROM Ameren service connection cost: $18,000 – $26,000 per service point

Service Drop and Controller Cabinet
•
•
•
•

The NE corner of N Price Road and Alice Place is identified as a candidate location for a new Ameren
service drop and lighting controller cabinet to serve a wired corridor lighting system.
Existing area distribution voltage may require a step-down transformer at this location; verify
distribution voltage with Ameren Missouri.
Co-locating the controller cabinet with the planned new Ameren pole at N Price Road and Alice Place
minimizes service lateral length and coordination complexity.
This service point could also supply power for emergency call boxes along the corridor (estimated 2 to 3
call boxes anticipated).

•
•
•

ROM pole and foundation cost per location: $2,800 – $3,600 per pole
Note: No conduit, wiring, or Ameren service costs; reduced installation cost vs. wired alternative.

3.3 Alternative 3: Cobra-Head Pole Attachment to Existing Ameren Utility Poles
Description: LED cobra-head luminaires attached to existing Ameren distribution poles at select locations
along the corridor.
Power: Direct connection to Ameren distribution; Pole Use License Agreement required.
Mounting Height: Existing Ameren poles are generally 30–40 ft tall, with cobra-head fixtures mounted such
that the bottom of the luminaire is approximately 25–30 ft above finished grade. Mounting cobra-head fixtures
at 16 ft may not be feasible because Ameren requires foreign attachments to be mounted above the
conductor clearance zone, typically resulting in luminaire heights of 25–30 ft.
Dielman Road Segment (Stations 300+00 to 303+35)
If Alternative 3 were implemented, the first candidate locations would be the four Ameren power poles along
Dielman Road between Stations 300+00 and 303+35. However, use of existing utility poles located 20+ feet
from the trail centerline and spaced approximately 105–120 feet apart is generally insufficient to meet
IES‑recommended pedestrian lighting uniformity and DarkSky compliance without supplemental lighting or
fixture modifications.
While partial illumination may be achievable using high‑output, asymmetric optics or extended mast arms, the
resulting distribution is unlikely to provide consistent coverage across the trail width while maintaining full
cutoff performance and minimizing light trespass. Supplemental pedestrian‑scale poles or reduced spacing is
recommended, or alternatively, the design criteria should be adjusted to reflect lower illumination levels
appropriate for park or recreational trails.
The power pole located adjacent to Station 315+36 could possibly be used, but layout would need to be
coordinated with the other light poles and may cause spacing challenges with light distribution uniformity.
N Price Road / Alice Place Intersection
The new Ameren pole placed at the northeast corner of N Price Road and Alice Place will likely have a cobrahead fixture that will not meet DarkSky requirements, as it must satisfy roadway intersection lighting criteria.

Page 6

This pole is best treated as a roadway lighting asset and a potential electrical service point, not as a
DarkSky‑compliant trail lighting fixture.
Public Works / North Price Road Segment (Stations 337+64 to 339+50)
The existing Ameren power poles located adjacent to Stations 337+64 and 339+50 across from the City of
Olivette Public Works facility could possibly be used, but they pose the same challenges as the poles along
Dielman Road: greater offset from the trail, higher mounting height, and spacing that is not optimized for
pedestrian‑scale uniformity. A new pedestrian‑scale light pole could be placed between these two poles and
potentially achieve DarkSky compliance, but this would need to be evaluated in final design.
CVS / Northeast Segment (Stations 342+60, 343+40, 344+66)
Additional Ameren poles that could potentially be used are located near Stations 342+60, 343+40, and 344+66,
northeast of CVS. These poles would also require further evaluation for conflicts with existing lines, Ameren
clearance requirements, and DarkSky compliance. As with other locations, they may provide partial
illumination but are unlikely to satisfy IES shared‑use path uniformity criteria without supplemental
pedestrian‑scale fixtures.
Summary of Alternative 3
Alternative 3 offers a low‑infrastructure, opportunistic use of existing Ameren poles but is not expected to
function as a stand‑alone, DarkSky‑compliant corridor lighting solution. It may be used selectively to
supplement a wired or solar pedestrian‑scale system, subject to Ameren approval, structural analysis, and
detailed photometric evaluation during DD/CD phases.

3.4 Railing-Integrated LED Lighting
Description: Recessed or linear LED in bridge railings, guardrails, and pathway handrails (bridges, overpasses,
elevated sections, trailheads). Railing-integrated lighting is assumed to extend approximately 135 linear feet
along the project corridor, and corresponding costs are based on this length.
Power: Low-voltage 12V/24V DC with dedicated transformer/power supply; conduit to railing locations.
Mounting Height: Railing height 34–42 inches (34–38 in. handrails, 42 in. min guardrails).
Fixture Requirements: Downward/asymmetric beam, IP65+, 3000K or warmer, low glare, continuous
illumination.
Spacing: Continuous linear runs or recessed intervals along railing; supplemental pole lighting may be needed
for approach zones.

5.0 DARKSKY AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
5.1 City of Olivette Requirements
Full-cutoff fixtures required; 3000K maximum CCT; light trespass limits; shielding requirements.
Alternatives can comply with proper fixture selection and specification.

5.2 DarkSky International Principles
The following addresses the DarkSky International Five Principles for Responsible Outdoor Lighting as applied
to this project:
Useful — Lighting only where needed for trail safety, at intersections, trailheads, underpasses, and bridges.
Targeted — Full-cutoff and directional optics specified on the three alternatives; zero upward light ratio (ULR)
achievable.
Low Level — Adaptive dimming capabilities available (Sol UP2 motion sensor, First Light SCL2 Smart Connect,
ewo DALI dimming).
Controlled — 3000K maximum CCT enforced; shielded fixtures specified across all alternatives.
Warm Color — 3000K or warmer specified for all fixtures; amber 595nm available for ecologically sensitive
areas.
Sternberg AP650 and Sternberg 1521 can be specified with full-cutoff optics meeting DarkSky criteria. First
Light SCL2 is explicitly DarkSky International compliant. The ewo ID Handrail Recessed luminaire achieves zero
ULR by design.

5.3 Wildlife and Ecological Considerations
•
•

•
•

Amber 595nm options are available for ecologically sensitive sections (First Light SCL2, Wagner Wildlife
Amber).
Cool-white light (4000K and above) should be avoided throughout the corridor — research demonstrates
that higher CCT values increase insect attraction, disrupt nocturnal wildlife migration and foraging
patterns, and suppress melatonin production in mammals. This reinforces the 3000K maximum CCT
requirement.
Lighting should be limited to documented safety needs; avoid over-lighting natural areas and riparian
corridors.
Adaptive dimming and curfew scheduling should be implemented to reduce light output during low-use
periods (Sol UP2 motion sensor, First Light SCL2 Smart Connect).

7.0 PRELIMINARY COST CONSIDERATIONS
7.0.1 Basis of Estimate (BOE)
The following assumptions were used to develop planning-level ROM costs:
•
•
•
•
•
•

47 total pedestrian-scale poles for wired and solar alternatives, including approximately 23 poles within
the inactive railroad corridor.4,650 LF of trenching and conduit for wired systems.
Three emergency call boxes for each lighting type.
Six Ameren poles used for Alternative 3.
Prevailing wage labor rates based on Kansas City, MO regional data.
Costs reflect ±30% planning-level accuracy.
No escalation applied; 2026 dollars.

7.0.2 Railroad Corridor Subsegment
The inactive railroad corridor segment represents the least illuminated portion of Segment 599B, with
minimal existing ambient light and limited spillover from adjacent uses. As described in Section 2.1, this
segment extends approximately 1,960 feet through an industrial corridor and presents additional siting
constraints due to overhead utility infrastructure.
For planning purposes, approximately 23 pedestrian-scale light fixtures are assumed within the railroad
corridor to provide consistent illumination along the shared-use path. Given its length and relatively
isolated condition compared to other portions of the corridor, this segment is a key focus area for
continuous lighting coverage.
Quantities and costs associated with this subsegment are proportionally allocated from the overall corridor

Values represent approximate proportional allocation based on 23 of 47 total fixtures within the railroad
corridor. Final costs will vary based on service point.

7.2 Life-Cycle Cost Considerations
Solar (Alt 2): Zero energy cost; higher fixture cost; battery replacement at ~10 years; minimal trenching;
performance dependent on winter solar availability.
Wired (Alt 1): Highest installation cost due to trenching; lowest long-term maintenance; highest reliability;
best uniformity and DarkSky performance.
Cobra-Head (Alt 3): Lowest infrastructure cost; limited uniformity; unlikely to meet DarkSky compliance;
requires supplemental pedestrian-scale lighting.
Railing-Integrated: Used as an architectural enhancement for handrails and guardrails.

Page 11

8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND NEXT STEPS
8.1 Preliminary Recommendations
A fully wired pedestrian-scale lighting system (Alternative 1) is recommended as the most robust and reliable
solution for Segment 599B. With 47 poles and full DarkSky-compliant fixtures mounted at 16 ft, this system
provides the best uniformity, controllability, and long-term performance.
A solar system (Alternative 2) remains a viable alternative where trenching is constrained, particularly in parkadjacent or railroad corridor segments. Solar reduces installation cost but introduces battery replacement and
seasonal performance considerations.
Alternative 3 (cobra-head on Ameren poles) may provide partial illumination at six candidate poles but cannot
meet DarkSky compliance or IES uniformity requirements without supplemental pedestrian-scale poles. It
should be considered only as a supplemental strategy.
Railing-integrated lighting is recommended only as an architectural enhancement at handrailings or guardrails
and should be paired with Alternatives 1 or 2.
Three emergency call boxes are assumed for all alternatives. Under a wired system, call boxes connect to the
controller cabinet at N Price Road and Alice Place. Under a solar system, a dedicated Ameren service drop is
still required for call boxes.

8.2 Next Steps
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Coordinate with Ameren Missouri for service drop cost estimate at N Price Road and Alice Place;
evaluate distribution voltage and step-down transformer requirements.
Complete JSP-02 utility conflict analysis and Ameren pole inventory.
Conduct preliminary photometric modeling for preferred alternatives.
Obtain Olivette and jurisdictional lighting approval.
Coordinate with Ameren Missouri for service feasibility and pole attachment assessment.
Develop detailed ROM cost estimates with unit pricing.
Advance preferred alternative(s) to DD-level design.
Obtain manufacturer cut sheets and submit for stakeholder review.

Is found to be of good moral character and current on all taxes to the
City, the State, the County, or the municipality in which the applicant
resides.

Recommended Action:
Motion to authorize the City Clerk to issue a Liquor License for the remaining
2026 calendar year to "Wallis Petroleum, LC" doing business as On The Run
#614, addressed at 9371 Olive Boulevard.
Attachments:
• Memo from the Chief of Police.
• Liquor License Application form.
Summary Description:
Wallis Petroleum, LC, who has operated the Mobil On-The-Run service station
and convenience store at 9371 Olive Boulevard, is revising their corporate
name. In doing so, they requested a revision to their current 2026 Liquor
License.
Upon staff review, §600.120 of Chapter 600 Liquor Control, the requested
name changes to the current liquor license did not meet the conditions to
administratively transfer the license. After discussing with Wallis Petroleum,
LC, representatives, they agreed to apply for a new license reflecting the
current business name.

CHAPTER 600 LIQUOR CONTROL
Per Chapter 600 Liquor Control, being part of Title VI Business and Occupation
of the Olivette Municipal Code, it is unlawful for any person to sell or expose
for sale intoxicating liquor in any quantity, either for consumption on the
premises where sold, or in the original package and not for consumption on
the premises where sold, except as provided under Chapter 600 Liquor Control.
Chapter 600 is the process of obtaining, regulating, and disciplining liquor
license holders.
The application. Applications for a license shall be filed with the City Clerk.
The application contains information sufficient to inform the City regarding the
qualifications of the applicant. Each application shall be signed by the
applicant. The signature of the applicant shall constitute an agreement that
the applicant assumes responsibility for compliance with the provisions of the
City ordinances and the laws of the State regulating the sale of intoxicating
liquor.
Police review. The Chief of Police then supervises an investigation of the
validity of the statements contained in each application for a license, including
a criminal background check for every individual and every officer as defined
herein. The chief's recommendation is then presented to the City Council at
the next regular or special meeting after issuance of the report.
Council action. Upon approval of the application by a majority of the Council,
the City Clerk then grants the applicant the requested license for a term to
expire effective through the end of the current calendar year (December 31,
2026).
Standards for approval. No person shall qualify for a license under this
Chapter if that person, or any officer:
1. Does not receive a favorable recommendation from the Chief of Police;
2. Is not of good moral character and current on all taxes for which he or
she is liable to the City, the State, the County, or the municipality in
which he or she resides;
3. Is not at least twenty-one (21) years of age;
4. Has had a liquor license revoked;
5. Has been convicted of violating the provisions of any law applicable to
the sale or manufacture of intoxicating liquor, provided that no person
shall be denied a license solely due to a single conviction for the unlawful
sale or supply to a minor when serving in the capacity as an employee
of a licensed establishment;
6. Employs a person whose liquor license has been revoked or who has
been convicted of violating the provisions of any law applicable to the
sale or manufacture of intoxicating liquor, provided that no license shall
be denied if the actionable violation(s) occurred more than three (3)
years prior to the date of the Council's license determination;
7. Has been convicted of violating the provisions of any law involving the
distribution, sale or possession of any controlled substance or dangerous
drug;
