About us
We’re the St. Louis Urbanists, a grassroots advocacy group working to create safer and more effective infrastructure for pedestrians, bicycle users, transit riders, and even car drivers in the St. Louis region. Our movement aims to promote better urban design through education, organization, and engagement at every level.
We hope to create a community for like-minded individuals to hang out and discuss transportation, urban design, local politics, and other similar topics. You can join us at our online Discord server, where we share tactical wins, post resources, and discuss local issues.
Our main in-person meetups are on the 2nd Thursday of every month. These meetings are open to all. The first half of these meetings is formal discussion of our organization and project updates, and the second half is social.
In addition, we have a number of recurring meetups, such as Social Bike Rides, Urbanist Book Club, and Bus Bike Brunch. We're always coming up with new meetup ideas, and let us know if you have an idea of your own!

Ride transit with us! - Botanical Garden & Comet Coffee
Metrolink Forest Park/DeBaliviere Station, 250 DeBaliviere Ave., Saint Louis, MO, USCalling all first-time transit riders! Join us as we take the MetroLink and #8 bus to the Botanical Garden and stop for coffee afterwards. This is a great opportunity to get more comfortable using public transit, and to connect with people who care about urbanism.
We will meet up at the Forest Park -- Debaliviere MetroLink station so everyone can get a day pass. You can get a day pass for $5 at one of the kiosks or purchase one on the Transit App. We will be around by the kiosks from 9:00-9:15 and then we will go down to the platform.
We will first take the 9:25 AM Blue Line MetroLink from Forest Park-Debaliviere, and then catch the 9:45 AM #8 bus at the Central West End Transit Center. Feel free to meet us directly at Central West End Transit Center, or hop on the #8 along the way.
After visiting the Botanical Garden and Comet Coffee, we will take the 12:20 #8 bus from Tower Grove @ Shaw NB back to Central West End Transit Center.
Parking is available across the street from the MetroLink station in the Expo garage.
Botanical Garden admission is free for City and County residents (show ID) before 11 AM on Saturdays.
