Central Corridor Workshop

Historic Saint Paul Presents
PRESERVATION TALKS A Community Workshop
History along the Central Corridor

By the year 2014, the Twin Cities will have undergone a major transformation—the construction of a light rail transit (LRT) line linking the downtowns of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Following a historic alignment along University Avenue, the Central Corridor LRT line represents both a challenge and an opportunity for the preservation of our cultural and historic resources.

Historic Saint Paul will host a community workshop to discuss these challenges and opportunities. The workshop will address the following questions:

Why is the history of University Avenue important to our city?

What tools can be employed to preserve significant structures?

Where are historic places and cultural landmarks located along the corridor?

How can we enhance historic and cultural resources along the corridor and in the surrounding neighborhoods?

At the workshop, participants can view a three dimensional model of the central corridor and attend presentations by organizations working to document, interpret and promote the history and culture of the central corridor and its surrounding neighborhoods.
