Brickline Greenway

Boyle Avenue to Sarah Avenue

Description

This small but mighty segment of the Brickline greenway parallels the MetroLink light rail line and provides a direct connection to the Cortex Innovation Community. It was built in 2018 at the same time as the Cortex MetroLink Station, setting the stage for future expansion west to Forest Park, east towards downtown St. Louis and the Gateway Arch and north to Fairground Park. The Tower Grove Connector (led by City of St. Louis and Greater St. Louis Inc) will go along Tower Grove Ave and Vandeventer Aves, eventually up Sarah St. to connect to this section of Brickline Greenway.

Planning and design  for a 0.77 mile extension from Cortex MetroLink Station east toward the Grand MetroLink Station is underway now, with federal funding in place and construction slated to begin in late 2025 or early 2026.
