St. Louis County has interviewed several consultant teams for conducting the Location Study and Environmental Document for the South County Connector.  Negotiations will begin shortly with the selected team, and the study will begin in early 2010. 

The South County Connector facilitates access between the central core of St. Louis County and South County and South City.  The multi-modal aspect of the South County Connector corridor promotes the joint Livable Communities initiative of the U.S. DOT, HUD, U.S. EPA and other Federal agencies.  It will help citizens gain better access to affordable housing, more transportation options and healthier communities and will promote sustainable development and economic growth.
