The overhaul of several public transit stops in Greater St. Louis — partially funded by AARP — has helped leverage millions of additional investment dollars in everything from new and renovated buildings to sidewalks and landscaping.
The Boomers and Bikes program is one of a variety of activities AARP is offering this year to help older Missourians focus on their health and well-being as well as guided hikes, walking programs and online fitness classes.
As part of its Livable Communities initiative, AARP Missouri is helping to update a Metro Link light rail stations in the region—adding seasonal plantings, shade canopies and other improvements. Additional livability projects include an exercise park and a push for expanded high-speed internet.
The popular Ten Toe Express program, which combines walking, sightseeing and learning to use public transit in the St. Louis area, is returning in April.
