Hear Ye Hear Ye

Public Hearing on the new bike plan

Friday, February 2, 8:30 am, Room 40 City Hall (Basement). The Saint Paul Planning Commission has set a Public Hearing to take public comments on the Saint Paul Bicycle Plan. Formal comment on the Bicycle Plan can be made in any of the following ways: 

• In-person on February 2
• By emailing bikes@stpaul.gov
• By U.S. Mail to Saint Paul Planning Commission, c/o Jimmy Shoemaker; 800 City Hall Annex; 25 West Fourth Street; Saint Paul, MN 55102

All email and U.S. Mail comments must include name and address. Comments must be received before February 5 at 4:30 pm. Let's be sure that the Planning Commission hears strong support for the new plan which features lots of separated bikeways.
