Metro Transit to Host Secure Platform Plan Open Houses Week of June 26

Metro Transit will host two open houses on  the Secure Platform Plan (SPP) the week of June 26. The first will be held on June 27 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 207 East Main Street Belleville, IL 62220. According to Metro Transit, the goal of the project is to transform the original open-access MetroLink platforms into a more secure system with gated customer entrances, fencing, and an expansive real-time camera network.

Those who attend will hear information about this $52 million transformation that will break ground later this year at four MetroLink stations in Illinois including: Emerson Park, Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center, Washington Park, and College.

In addition, a virtual public meeting for SPP will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, June 28, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Register for the virtual meeting here.
