Crashed Ice Returns

Definitely affects the east end of Summit:


Dear Residents:

Well it’s winter and that means winter events in Saint Paul.  As some of you may have heard, Red Bull will be returning to Saint Paul for the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships to be held January 24th – 26th, 2013.  Many of you will remember this from last year but if you did not, I would recommend viewing this video from last year’s event.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfXScR9SFnk (there have been a number of course changes to try and minimize the impact on the neighborhood so please know the course you see here is NOT what you will see this year).

One of the hallmarks of our relationship with Red Bull is that we always strive to ensure that suggestions from the community are heard and integrated into the overall event plan whenever possible.  This helps make certain that neighborhoods and businesses are prepared and can plan appropriately for events like these.  After last year’s event we held community meetings to get feedback from many of you and Red Bull has integrated those suggestions into this year’s event plan.

On behalf of the Mayor’s office and Red Bull, I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join us for meetings with City Staff, the Police Department, the Mayor’s office and Red Bull event planners to review the event and share your thoughts and suggestions with us.

Meeting one:
Date: Wednesday, 11/14/12
Time: 6:30pm – 7:30pm
Place: Room 4310 Link, Main Building of Saint Paul College

If for some reason you cannot make either of these times, please contact me and I will put you on my email distribution list.  Like last year, we will be holding other meetings as we move forward and I will be sending out information on the event, as well as weekly updates, as we work our way through the event preparations.  My email is jake.spano@stpaul.gov.

Thank you!
