Engage Saint Paul will keep the public comment window open until Wednesday, November 30th.
Tongue-tied? Here's our suggested comment:
- Give Saint Paul tax-payers more time to evaluate and comment.
- Too many trees are at significant risk of dying (800 by our arborist's count - more on that in next week's e-newsletter),
- Safety issues will increase for pedestrians and cyclists due to more than 400+ conflict points. More on that in two weeks.
- Accessibility on Summit will be lost when more than 50% of parking will be removed.
- Summit Avenue's character-defining features- wide parkways, boulevards, and medians will be altered, irreparably, after 137 years of preservation.
- Save trees, save parking, and create in-street, wider, high-visibility bike lanes.
Summit Avenue is too valuable to Saint Paul to rush any major decision.
Make some noise. Call your city councilor. Call your city attorney.
Call your mayor.
