The Belleville station has a connection to the St. Clair County Transit District's 14 mile (22.5 km) MetroBikeLink shared-use path system. This was the first segment of the MetroBikeLink system when it opened in 2002 and consisted of a 4 mile (6.4 km) trail, running from the Swansea station to Southwestern Illinois College.[3] Just south of the Belleville station, trail users can connect to the Orchard Loop Connector.[4]
On June 26, 2022, Citizens for Modern Transit, the St. Clair County Transit District, AARP in St. Louis, and Metro Transit unveiled the “Transit Stop Transformation” project at the Belleville Transit Center. The team overseeing this project converted the concrete area between the bus bays and MetroLink entrance into an interactive and engaging space that boasts a vibrant-colored “Art Grows in Belleville” theme. The revitalized space features new custom bike racks, shade structures, a Belleville city logo sign, benches, planters and elevated window artwork.[5]
