The Project

St. Louis MetroLink Green Line (formerly the Northside-Southside Jefferson Avenue Alignment) will connect residents to growing job centers in Downtown West and Midtown, educational opportunities, and healthcare services making St. Louis a thriving city for all people.

Project Goals

  • Provide more choices and access to growing and established job centers for those with limited transportation options.
  • Invest in local opportunity zones.
  • Connecting employers to employees. Getting people back into the office.

Light Rail

The Green Line will feature modern in-street light-rail technology:

  • Minimizes impacts to adjacent properties.
  • Operates in dedicated lane, separated by curb to enhance safety and travel times.
  • Enhances pedestrian experience with level station boarding.

Community Impact

By utilizing a long-term infrastructure investment, such as light-rail, our region can improve access to economic opportunities.

  • 25% of households within walking distance of the alignment do not own a vehicle.
  • 10% of workers near the alignment rely on public transit to get to work.
  • 17% of all current affordable housing units (city-wide) are within walking distance of these new stations.
  • Several parts of the alignment have the highest rates of transit use in the region.
