Forest Park DeBaliviere Station had its federal grant approved. Will be getting accessibility, lighting, and canopy improvements. Anyone know what that may look like?

If this include "safety measures" i.e. steps toward checking tickets to enter the station and closing the west stair to the station, I'll be pissed.
In 2019 they opened a contract with WSP to redesign Forest Park, 8th & Pine, Convention Center, and Lacledes Landing. Forest Park is now the only one currently funded. Downtown stops are at 30% design.
I’ve seen one or two renderings over a year ago but nothing since.
I’d predict the CWE improvements are fairly similar. Especially the white canopy.

I will be very satisfied I’d FP-DeBaliviere gets the CWE treatment. Would be a huge improvement.addxb2 wrote:In 2019 they opened a contract with WSP to redesign Forest Park, 8th & Pine, Convention Center, and Lacledes Landing.

I'd like a canopy that covers the whole thing. meaning the tracks too.

This was posted a ways back on the Expo thread. Not sure how up to date it is though:

BJC drove a lot of the design at the new CWE station to tie it into their campus look, so I'm not sure how similar it'll end up being though. A new (and longer) shelter, better lighting and a second entrance like the one depicted here are pretty good looking though.

That looks like a really expensive way to get rid of the west entrance.
I still see stairs and an elevator on the west side. I think someone said in the Expo thread that the sunken nature of the station and its single entrance were complaints so they wanted to add an additional entrance/exit. I don't think they'll remove the existing one.
Whoops, I didn't even know that entranced existed. I've only ever used the east one on the rare occasions I've actually exited there and not transferred.

Sounds like 2024-2026 for construction. They are not yet in full design.

Can confirm. Been using it for a few days now.quincunx wrote:Metro announced that the east elevator is working again.
Been some time what about the Lambert Terminal 2 Metro elevator..is it working? ty
Metro's always on a mission to make Metrolink as inconvenient as possible in the name safety. If there's no riders, there can't be any crime!
It's been a while, but I thought they had previously put a bunch of bike-rack style barriers all around the upstairs portion at that station to make you walk in a certain way to enter/exit, kind of a preview of the secure platform deal.

what's up with increased loitering near and around the metrolink station and its surrounding building?
