WestSide 100 is an initiative to bring 100% Voter Participation and awareness on the West Side.

This is an effort for NON PARTISAN VOTER ENGAGEMENT

Make your voice heard in a West Side legacy project!

WSCO is adapting the West Side Equitable Development Scorecard, a community document that needs your voice! The Equitable Development Scorecard is a tool that will answer the question, “Who benefits from any new development coming to the West Side?”. It ensures that the principles and practices of equitable development, environmental justice, and affordability are applied to our community and that plans for economic development and wealth creation benefit everyone. Make sure you have your voice reflected, review the scorecard and give your comments here! Keep an eye out for the Scorecard team out and about, in person engagement is happening through the fall.  

Learn more about the scorecard here.

On Tuesday, July 24 from 6pm to 8:30pm WSCO will host a space for West Siders to vision, to engage, and to share their stories about Smith Avenue. 

The draft of the West Side Equitable Development Scorecard is now available to be reviewed by the community.  The scorecard has been adapted for the West Side neighborhood by a team of residents over the last few months. 

Please click here to review the scorecard draft and provide feedback.

The June Health & Environmental Justice (HEJ) meeting has been rescheduled to Thursday, June 14th.  The meeting will still take place at 6:30pm at Baker Center- 209 Page Street West.

We are starting to see the signs of coordinated trash collection on its way!  Starting May 9, information will arrive in mailboxes explaining the program and available garbage service levels.  A postcard with instructions for how you can notify the City of your chosen service level will follow shortly thereafter. 

Due to the Wabasha Street closing there is a NEW staging area for Cinco de Mayo parade participants.   If you or your organization is marching in the parade please review this information to find where your group will be staging!

LINE UP WILL OCCUR ON HUMBOLDT AVENUE BETWEEN ELIZABETH STREET & TACO HOUSE

Wabasha Street remains closed between Plato and Cesar Chavez until further notice.

Saint Paul – The City of Saint Paul has begun work to assess the bluff and surrounding area
where a slope failure occurred on Saturday afternoon, April 28. Large pieces of rock debris from
the bluff were scattered across Wabasha Street prompting the city to close the street and evaluate
the condition of the bluff. There were no injuries or damage to private property.

Sewer Lining

In the spring thru fall of 2018, Public Works Sewer Utility will be rehabilitating deteriorated city owned sewers.  Instead of digging up the street and installing a new sewer pipe, the sewer will be repaired by installing a pipe liner within the existing sewer.  The sewer liner creates a new long-lasting pipe within the old sewer.
