[5] This at-grade station bisects Scheel Street in the northern section of Belleville, Illinois approximately one-mile (1.6 km) from the center of town.

Belleville has a connection to the St. Clair County Transit District's 14-mile (23 km) MetroBikeLink shared-use path system.

This was the first segment of the MetroBikeLink system when it opened in 2002 and consisted of a 4-mile (6.4 km) trail, running from the Swansea station to Southwestern Illinois College.

[6] Just south of this station, trail users can connect to the Orchard Loop Connector and to the north, the Richland Creek Greenway.

[7] In 2022, the area between the bus bays and MetroLink entrance was updated into a space with a vibrant-colored “Art Grows in Belleville” theme and includes new custom bike racks, shade structures, a Belleville city logo sign, benches, planters and elevated window artwork.
