Upgrading Cherokee St. on Google Maps

Posted by David Godbout on October 23, 2012 | 5 Comments

Cherokee Street, as reflected in Google Maps, looks like just another side street.

Does anyone know what it might take to be upgraded to a “Yellow Street,” making it easier for people who are searching for Cherokee Street businesses and/or specific addresses to identify it?

    Hey David!

    Cherokee’s resident cartographer here :-) . I’m actually at work and can’t access google maps but I believe there is some editing functionality at http://www.google.com/mapmaker. Take a peek and see if you can adjust that line feature. I will investigate further when I’m at home.

    James, thanks for the info. I submitted a change (pending approval) from a “local road” to a “minor artery.’

    This is the label that S. Jefferson and Chippewa have.

    I just received word from Google Maps that my request to make Cherokee Street a Minor Artery has been accepted. The change should be made soon and will make Cherokee on the same level as Jefferson Ave.

  • Quoted

    “The beauty of the maturation of Cherokee Street over the past couple of months is that it has not shown a familiar trajectory for a St. Louis revitalization. There are no posh nightclubs with "pioneer" status nor any ultra-elite art galleries present.

    Rather, there's an organized community dedicated to improving quality of life and maintaining the uniqueness of St. Louis's most diverse and urban business district.”
