Forsyth station is a light rail station on the Blue Line of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[2] This below-grade station is located beneath the intersection of Forest Park Parkway and Forsyth Boulevard near the border of University City and Clayton.
Station layout
The station sits within an open cut of the Big Bend Tunnel[3] with its platforms partially beneath the Forsyth overpass for shelter. The platforms are reached by stairs on Forsyth's south side and by stairs and circular switchback ramps on its north side.
Public artwork
In 2006, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Hoi Polloi by Lindsey Stouffer for this station.[4] Its perforated stainless-steel screens appear to shimmer as people walk by, due to an optical illusion known as the moiré effect. At night, the screens are lit from within, diffusing light like enormous lanterns.[5]
