St. Louis County highway officials are changing the name of Millbrook Boulevard to Forest Park Parkway in an effort to lessen confusion for motorists unfamiliar with the area and to provide continuity for Forest Park Parkway.
Forest Park Parkway is known as Millbrook Boulevard between Skinker Boulevard and Pershing Avenue.
The name Millbrook was coined from the names of Robert Brookings, a major University benefactor and driving force behind the school's development, and of David Millar, University City's mayor from 1933-37.
In honor of Millar and Brookings, the overpass over Millbrook will be renamed the Millbrook Pedestrian Overpass.
Both the St. Louis Board of Alderman and St. Louis County officials voted to change the street name, which should take effect in the next two months.
