For 3 years, MnDOT and the City’s Public Works Department have been discussing and planning an upcoming paving and partial reconstruction project on state Highway 61 on Saint Paul’s East Side that will be done in 2024-25.

Join City staff, District Council representatives, and residents at a virtual engagement session to provide input for Phase 2 of the 1-4 Unit Housing Study! This study is evaluating the potential to create more smaller, neighborhood-scale housing types that are missing across the city.

Public feedback came from 22 events and presentations, emails, and resulted in over 1,700 online survey responses. City staff have reviewed this feedback and produced a document summarizing the information. 

Staff will incorporate this feedback into the updated Bicycle Plan and share the draft during the second round of engagement throughout Spring 2022. Staff hope to bring the updated plan to the City Council for adoption in Summer 2022.

MnDOT is hosting a focus group for people to share their opinions about draft equity-first transportation performance measures their their experiences using the transportation network in Minnesota. Let’s make sure St. Paul voices are included in this effort.

MnDOT’s Rethinking I-94 project started in 2016 and concerns a stretch of Interstate 94 between Saint Paul and Minneapolis. According to MnDOT, the project “intends to reconnect neighborhoods, revitalize communities and ensure residents have a meaningful voice in transportation decisions that affect their lives.”

Creating a new vision for the stretch of interstate between Saint Paul and Minneapolis is an exciting opportunity to meet the moment on climate change, racial justice, and equity.

Summit Avenue between Lexington Parkway and Victoria Street will be fully reconstructed in 2023 - how can we use this opportunity to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians?

Like the redevelopment of the Ford site in the Highland neighborhood of Saint Paul, the Hillcrest site on the East Side offers exciting opportunities to envision the future of housing, transportation, and land use in Saint Paul.

To ease our housing crisis, we support efforts to promote the “missing middle": a range of multi-family or clustered housing types, such as duplexes and rowhomes, that are compatible in scale with single-family or transitional neighborhoods.
