Potential Plans and Extensions
The idea of MetroLink has been around for more than 20 years in the region. There have been plans and priorities that have been laid out for the region since 1989. These priorities are determined by a System Analysis for a region which is required by the federal government. The East-West Gateway Council of Governments conducted a System Analysis in 1989 in the St. Louis region and determined that there were three tiers of priorities for MetroLink expansion for the region.
- Tier I - Cross County, St. Charles and St. Clair County, IL
- Tier II - North County, South County and West County
- Tier III - Southwest County and Madison County, IL
These extensions may increase the MetroLink light rail system with as much as 80 miles (130 km) of trackage.

Famous quotes containing the words potential, plans and/or extensions:
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Make your plans for the year in the spring, and your plans for the day early in the morning.”
—Chinese proverb.
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
