Metropolitan State University plans major expansion

By Deanna Foster, Dayton's Bluff Forum

Once called “the university without walls,” Metro State has become a major institution that anchors the gateway to the Dayton's Bluff community.

Three major buildings will be added to the campus in the next few years: the first is a parking structure, followed by a Science Education Building and Student Center. The quality of design, the size and the placement of these new buildings on and around our main commercial district will have lasting impact on Dayton’s Bluff for decades to come.

OPINION | Questioning the planning and vision of the Gateway Commission

By Sherry Johnson, Dayton's Bluff Forum

The Gateway Commission is tasked with finding the main east-west transportation route and mode into and out of St. Paul. Some believe that “transit corridors” like this are only meant to serve suburbanites as they travel to and from their jobs.
