Cortex station is a light rail station on the Red and Blue lines of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[2] This at-grade station is located just east of Boyle Avenue in the Cortex Innovation Community in St. Louis.
History
[edit]Cortex opened on July 31, 2018, as an infill station to serve the growing Cortex community in St. Louis' Central West End neighborhood. It was built as a public-private partnership between the Bi-State Development Agency (Metro), Washington University in St. Louis, BJC HealthCare, and the City of St. Louis.[3]
The Great Rivers Greenway District opened the first segment of the Brickline Greenway with the new station. The Brickline is slated to connect the Gateway Arch and Forest Park and to North and South St. Louis.[3][4]
Station layout
[edit]The platform is accessed via a single entrance from a plaza adjacent to the Brickline Greenway.
