Cortex station is a St. Louis MetroLink station.[2] It opened on July 31, 2018, as an infill station just east of Boyle Ave in the Cortex Innovation Community in St. Louis' Central West End neighborhood. It was built as a public-private partnership between the Bi-State Development Agency (Metro), Washington University in St. Louis, BJC HealthCare, and the City of St. Louis.[3]
