It’s Time for a Fresh Plan!
It’s time to create the next 10-year plan for our community. While the City of Saint Paul has a comprehensive plan, it’s crucial that the specific needs of the West Side are included. That’s why you’re invited to join us in crafting a bold vision for our community for the next decade. We believe West Siders should be directly involved in shaping our shared future: a vibrant and safe neighborhood where new development and wealth creation benefit all residents, no matter what we look like or where we come from. We’re gathering a team of neighbors to guide the creation and implementation of the West Side Community Plan. This is a unique opportunity to take a creative and transformative approach to urban planning and land use in our neighborhood—together.
