In 2023, Great Rivers Greenway completed a .83-mile (1.3 km) extension to the St. Vincent Greenway between this station and St. Vincent County Park. The greenway parallels St. Charles Rock Road and was built in conjunction with improvements to that corridor by the Missouri Department of Transportation.[6]
In April 2024, Metro announced a platform improvement project at Rock Road. Both platforms are due to be repaired and resurfaced with the work lasting about four weeks.[7]
