Maplewood–Manchester station is a light rail station on the Blue Line of the St. Louis MetroLink system.[4] This station is located on an embankment near Manchester Road (Route 100) between South Hanley Road and Laclede Station Road in Maplewood, Missouri.
The station is accessed by an elevator and stairs on the north side of Manchester Road and stairs on the south side of Manchester. Walkways built along its viaducts connect the station to large industrial and retail facilities to the north and south.
In 2007, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work If You Lived Here You’d be Home by Janet Zweig for this station. Two sculptures illuminate both sides of the station viaduct. The artwork seen while entering Maplewood from the west is the word “MAPLEWOOD” written forwards. The letterforms were created from new construction materials, referencing the renovations occurring in Maplewood and the city's future. While leaving Maplewood from the east, commuters will be presented with that same sign; however, it is “reflected” and is constructed of salvaged materials from two local houses that were demolished. This reflected side is meant to remind viewers of Maplewood’s past.[5]
