St. Louis Metro Opens Cortex Station
Metro in St. Louis celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of MetroLink light rail during a July 31 event to dedicate the newest station on the line, Cortex.
Representatives of project partners attended the dedication ceremony for the 38th station in the system, which is also the first to be funded through a P3.
The Cortex MetroLink Station, located between two existing stations, is the 38th in the system. It is expected to provide a new, convenient transportation option for the thousands of employees and visitors in the central corridor of St. Louis, where parking is at a premium.
The event also marked the opening of the first quarter-mile segment of the five-mile Chouteau Greenway pedestrian and bicycle trail, located on the north side of the Cortex Station.
The celebration featured live music and entertainment, mobile health screening services and information about Metro’s Gateway Card smartcard.
