The City of Saint Paul has begun a community-based study to explore opportunities to improve safety and comfort along Marshall Avenue between Snelling Avenue and John Ireland Boulevard. This project builds off the 2010 Bike Walk Central Corridor Action Plan that identified Marshall Avenue as a bicycle alternative to University Avenue, as well as community efforts to improve Marshall Avenue over the last 15 years. This study may identify additional minor improvements west of Snelling Avenue, but will primarily seek to identify appropriate improvements east of Snelling Avenue. The City Public Works department has requested funding through the CIB process to implement improvements identified through this study.

No matter the weather, on Saturday, April 20, Saint Paul’s Saint Anthony Park neighborhood will celebrate all things green. SAP is considering becoming a “Transition Town” with a festival -- including kids’ activities, school projects, music, short films, and learning opportunities. A Transition Town is a community that understands that it must create less a fossil-fueled, energy-intensive way of life and at the same time a more stable, satisfying, locally-oriented one. Several working interest groups have already started the journey, and Saturday they will hold an expo of new initiatives, inviting discussion and participation.
