What is the MetroLink Green Line?
The MetroLink Green Line is the proposed light rail expansion project in the Northside- Southside corridor in the City of St. Louis. The project includes 10 stations and 5.6 miles of in-street light rail running from Jefferson Avenue at Chippewa Street north to Natural Bridge Avenue in the City of St. Louis, while connecting with the current MetroLink system via a transfer station.
The City of St. Louis proposed Green Line project will be designed to preserve and enhance existing neighborhoods, promote unity, achieve regional objectives, reinforce existing public and private investments, and provide improved transportation for a substantiated number of people. The project will also provide equitable access to jobs, help revitalize neighborhoods and support Justice40 Initiative principles.

The project is currently in the environmental analysis and 30% design phase. The environmental analysis is a requirement of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) when seeking federal funding. During NEPA, the Green Line project team will assess potential project impacts on the human and natural environment then examine ways to avoid, minimize or mitigate adverse effects where feasible. This process ensures that the project will not significantly impact key environmental resources, such as air and water quality, or adversely impact low-income individuals or communities of color. During 30% design, major design elements, the project timeline and project costs will be fine-tuned.
