Design Concepts Unveiled!

We've taken your ideas and designed a true community hub for everyone in East St. Louis to enjoy. The St. Clair County Transit District has partnered with Citizens for Modern Transit, AARP St. Louis, and Metro Transit to transform this space into an active, creative, playful environment for not only our transit commuters, but also our community members.

NOTE: These are simply design concepts and will shift and update based on your preferences and feasibility of implementation and maintenance. The project team will spend the next several weeks integrating community and partner feedback and determining feasibility of implementation.
