CIB Projects - Public Hearing

We submitted several projects for Capital Improvement Budget funds from the city - redoing Battle Creek Road through the park to Lower Afton, improved lighting on North Park, and improvement of the Ruth Street bridge over I-94.

The City submitted proposals for repaving all of Battle Creek Road, Ruth Street south of Burns, and improvements to Sun Ray Library. The North East Neighborhoods Corporation submitted proposals that would have provided funding for home and business improvements in the Eastview neighborhood and along White Bear Avenue.

If you are interested in speaking for or against these proposals, there will be a public hearing on June 6 at 6p in room 40, Lower Level of City Hall, 15 W. Kellogg.

After this hearing the City's CIB Committee will make its final recommendations about which projects to support. These will go to the Mayor for final approval later this year, with funding next year and in 2013.

So here's your chance to influence what money gets invested in our area by the City.
