PORT's project "STL SuperConnect" earned honorable mention for the 2010 Steedman Competition hosted by Washington University in St. Louis. The 2010 competition considered the urban relationship between the City of St. Louis and the Mississippi River. The jury selected STL SuperConnect for citation because the proposal "boldly envisions as prominent a future in East St. Louis as St. Louis itself, the two great future cities connected by a broad infrastructure and economic development belt that spans across the Mississippi River."
More information is available on the official competition website.
