Forsyth

Forsyth station is a St. Louis MetroLink station. Located at the intersection of Forest Park Parkway and Forsyth Boulevard near the border of University City and Clayton, it primarily serves the West Campus of Washington University in St. Louis, The Ritz-Carlton Saint Louis, and downtown Clayton. Station layout The station is below grade but open air with the 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. 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.
