In 2019, a developer pitched a mixed-use development along the east side of the station on land owned by the city of Normandy, Missouri. It would have featured 237 apartments and 41 homes.[3] As of 2022, the project was on hold indefinitely.

In 2014, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Changing Identities by Catharine Magel for this station. Changing Identities honors four individuals killed in a bus crash and reflects on the spiritual and eternal aspects of human nature, our connection to the universe, and our solitary journeys through life.[4]
