To encourage and support growth along the proposed MetroLink Green Line route, Mayor Tishaura O. Jones has signed Board Bill 13, reducing minimum lot sizes by 40%, adjusting height maximums from three to four floors, and decreasing parking minimums by 25%, for parcels in certain zoning districts within half a mile of the 10 proposed stations.

“The expansion of MetroLink with the new Green Line, along with this important bill, will enhance walkability and support residents along this corridor, improving their quality of life and ability to get around our City,” said Mayor Tishaura O. Jones. “By responsibly loosening restrictions on parking, the maximum number of floors, and the minimum size of lots, we’re making it easier for those alongside the Green Line to invest in St. Louis and help neighborhoods to grow and be full of life and opportunity.”
