Engage East Side

Engage East Side is a coalition of organizations on the East Side of St. Paul, initiated and coordinated by ESPC, that works to engage underrepresented communities in influencing transit planning and decisions. Our goal is to involve communities of color (which are the majority of the East Side’s population) in local decision-making for development projects, beginning with a focus on the Gateway Corridor. Engage East Side is funded by the Corridors of Opportunity, a joint initiative of the Metropolitan Council and the St. Paul Foundation and McKnight Foundation.
