Capital Improvement Budget Suggestions

Starting next January or February, the City of Saint Paul begins its two-year Capital Improvement Budget process. Residents from our different neighborhoods form task forces that help the city prioritize projects dealing with our streets/utilities, cultural sites (like libraries and parks), and economic development. Money assigned for building new projects, not for maintenance of existing buildings or structures - new construction that will represent long-term improvements to our area.

Each district council, and other organizations propose projects for prioritizing. In our area we have proposals we are developing for improvements at Taylor Park, at Highwood Hills Park, the Warner Road Bridge, for bicycle lanes along Ruth and perhaps a northern east/west route, bridge improvements over the freeway, and for the Pederson pathway through Conway Park.

Are there other projects you would like to see proposed for the district?
