East Stevens Sewer Lining Project

Apr 02  ·  By Robert Craft  ·  Share

From City Postcard to affected Residents

“WHAT TO EXPECT DURING SEWER REHABILITATION”
CITY OF ST PAUL SEWER LINING PROJECT
Spring Thru Fall 2020


The City of St Paul needs to rehabilitate the sanitary sewer that serves your property. 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. There is no assessment to property owners for this work. The cost of this work is funded by your sewer usage fees.

City Council Ward 2 – Sewer Rehab Work Locations
On Street - East Stevens

  • Received $300,000 to construct trail
  • Question about adding concessions/ food trucks/ vending
  • Question about who the trail will serve, will it increase equity of parks?
    • There isn’t an answer, they don’t know who it will serve
  • Comment that a path is helpful for ADA and elderly folks

 

Ohio Street Lighting System

West Side Gateway Legacy Project

Mar 04  ·  By Robert Craft  ·  Share

POSTPONED To the FALL OF 2020

CNU UPDATE: Due to the various recommendations for shelter-in-place and restrictions on non-essential travel related to the outbreak of COVID-19, the CNU 28.Twin Cities Legacy Projects have been postponed. New dates will be announced once regular business travel has resumed.

Each year, in conjunction with its annual Congress, CNU (the Congress for the New Urbanism) invites municipalities and neighborhood organizations within the Congress's host region to apply for pro-bono technical assistance from leading urban design firms. Each expert-led Congress Legacy Project is aimed at empowering local leaders, advocates, and residents in underserved communities to implement New Urbanist principles that help people and businesses in their communities thrive. Through public engagement and collaboration, CNU’s Legacy Projects strive to demonstrate the power of great urban design beyond the boundaries of each selected community, and targeted communities experience both short-term progress and long-lasting momentum.

The West Side was selected as one of the few recipients of a legacy project. This means, all eyes will be on the West Side from a national standpoint! 

Join us at 88 Cesar Chavez - 6 - 9 PM on date TBA to participate in the community discussion. Discussion continues 9 AM to 9 PM on Dates TBA, same location.
