RFP Released for Design of Bus Stop in Fairview Heights, Ill

The St. Clair County Transit District is teaming up with Citizens for Modern Transit and  AARP in St. Louis to activate the space around a bus stop within the City of Fairview Heights, Ill. This joint initiative, known as the “Transit Stop Transformation Project,” will transform the area around a MetroBus stop located at 10227 Lincoln Trail, Fairview Heights, Ill, into a fun, artistic space that improves rider amenities, cultivates community, ties into the history of the area and increases transit use.

A transit stop can serve as a transformational tool to reconnect a community, promote social equality, increase accessibility, position an area for growth, activate and beautify the public space, and enhance neighborhood safety.  CMT and AARP in St. Louis hope to initiate this project by early Summer.  This project would include a community engagement component led by CMT and AARP in St. Louis.

The project seeks qualifications for engineers, designers, architects, artists, and inter-disciplinary teams to engage and work collaboratively with the residents and community stakeholders around a City MetroBus stop for the design and development of a site-specific Transit Transformation project.
