Will extending MetroLink diminish downtown St. Louis role as the regional “hub”?
A. The overall plan for MetroLink expansion generally mirrors the hub and spoke pattern of the area’s interstate highway system. Downtown is the hub of the system and will have the highest level of MetroLink service in the region. The success of MetroLink comes from the connections it makes between people, jobs and the other activities that are important to our lives. Downtown cannot remain the region’s hub if it does not connect to other important places in the region.
