Burns and Suburban Developments

The City is in the process of putting in the streetlights on Burns between Ruth and Suburban. This is a project that was funded through the competitive Capital Improvement Budget (CIB) process last year. It came about because of requests from residents in the apartment complexes along Ruth and Burns.

Next year is the next cycle of the CIB process, so if you have street improvements you would like us to propose, let us know (district1council@aol.com).

Also happening in this area is the planting of the planters on Suburban Avenue. This project should start on Thursday, June 17 and is a partnership between the Community Design Center (a youth development program that focuses on gardening and environmental projects), the district council and City Council President, Kathy Lantry's office. Young people from the Design Center will be planting and tending the planters all this summer. The plants are donated by the City of St. Paul, Department of Parks and Recreation.
