In 2022, the concrete area between the bus bays and MetroLink entrance was updated with vibrantly colored elements in a “Transit: We All Ride Together” theme, including shade structures, seating, musical elements, ground murals, and window designs. The fourth "Transit Stop Transformation" project to be completed, it was unveiled on October 12, 2022, by Citizens for Modern Transit, AARP in St. Louis, and Metro Transit in partnership with several local agencies.[6]

In 2004, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work A Line Meant (Circular) Alignment (Reasoning) by Bob Hansman and Ben Hoffmann for this station. It is made of 20 four-inch square, stainless-steel tubes of various lengths that connect the parking garage's stairwell to nearby landscaping.[7]
