West Side 10 Year Community Plan: share your ideas!

It’s time to create the next 10 year plan for our community to decide what the West Side will look like, and how we want to grow together. We believe West Siders should be directly involved in planning for our shared future: a vibrant and safe neighborhood where new development and wealth creation benefit all West Siders, no matter what we look like or where we come from. Affordable housing, investment in local businesses, access to public transportation and green spaces– let’s make sure these and other important elements are included, and reflect the needs of our neighborhood!

What does a 10 Year Community Plan do?

Names what’s important to us in planning our future
Outlines the investments and improvements needed in the neighborhood
Helps West Siders hold developers, the City, and local institutions accountable to the needs and vision of our community

“We’re planting the seeds for a future where we have what we need here on the West Side, from places where our kids can grow and explore the natural environment, to affordable housing and safe streets, to development that truly serves our community.”

– Monica Bravo, Executive Director, WSCO

It’s time for a fresh plan!

The City of Saint Paul has a comprehensive plan, and it is crucial that our neighborhood’s specific needs are included. You’re invited to join us in crafting a vision for the West Side for the next 10 years. We’re gathering a team of neighbors to guide the creation of the West Side Community Plan and make sure it is implemented. This is a unique opportunity to take a creative and transformative approach to urban planning and land use in our neighborhood.
