Ten Toe Express Special Walks for Fall 2020

As the region continues to deal with the impacts of COVID-19, Citizens for Modern Transit will be taking extra precautions this year for its walks. All registered walkers will receive a Ten Toe Express banded washable mask and hand sanitizer in their Ten Toe kits.

Additionally, special walks for the fall 2020 session will primarily take place outside.  Social distancing protocols will be observed throughout the walk and masks will be required when not social distancing outside.  Walk participants are encouraged to wash their hands frequently, avoid touching their face, and use hand sanitizer when possible.

The Fall 2020 Session will kick off on September 2, 2020 and run 12 weeks.  Walkers must register to participate in each Spring and Fall Session.  Please contact CMT with questions at info@cmt-stl.org.

Wednesday – September 2, 2020 – Fall Kickoff Walk – Maplewood Transit Stop Transformation Project

The kickoff tour will include a walk to the recently completed Maplewood Transit Stop Transformation Project. Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) and AARP in St. Louis have been working to activate the Maplewood MetroBus Stop – located at the southwest corner of Manchester Rd. and Marshall Ave. – in partnership with the City of Maplewood, Citizens National Bank, and KABOOM!, a national non-profit that partners with communities to expand play opportunities for kids. Residents, riders, and walkers can take advantage of the newly renovated space – located adjacent to the Citizens National Bank parklet – and see firsthand how it encourages active play, cultivates community, and increases transit use. CMT Executive Director Kim Cella will be on-site to speak about the project first hand.

Thursday, October 15 – Fall Colors on the MetroBikeLink Trail

The St. Clair County Transit District MetroBikeLink System includes trails and bike paths along MetroLink in Southwestern Illinois.  The development of a trail system adjacent to the St. Clair County MetroLink extension was an important piece in the St. Clair County Transit District’s (SCCTD) efforts to link transportation modes in the community. Since the initial trail, the system has expanded to include several other trails all connecting in with the original MetroBikeLink and transit.  Currently, the MetroBikeLink Trail runs from Shiloh/Scott MetroLink Station to Memorial Hospital MetroLink Station in Belleville to the new extension to the Fairview Heights MetroLink Station.

Ten Toe Express walkers will be treated to beautiful fall walk among the changing leaves.  The walk will begin at Memorial Hospital Station proceeding downhill on the bluff line for 3.5 miles to the Fairview Heights MetroLink Station.
