District 6 Planning Council

I am pleased to announce that today the City Council approved funding for the Rice Street Streetscape project and funding to begin planning improvements to the Maryland/Rice intersection. The St. Paul HRA (composed of City Council members) also approved funding to begin a housing redevelopment near the intersection of Rice and Winnipeg, being undertaken by SPARC. Construction will likely begin in Fall 2006 or Spring 2007.

Thanks to all of you who voiced support for these projects!
