Events this Weekend - Crashed Ice
Likely the major event affecting Summit this weekend is Crashed Ice — if you haven't noticed the huge ramp going up at the east end of the street by the Cathedral, well, then, you don't drive that part of Summit enough. Returning for a second year, this event draws thousands of people on Friday and Saturday for a unique sporting event that, well, seems truly crazy but is a lot of fun to watch.
Here's the website for more information.

Help Guide Future Redevelopment in the West Summit Area
How can we guide redevelopment on Grand Avenue, Snelling Avenue, and other corridors in Macalester-Groveland to best respond to the changing needs of the community? As the City conducts a zoning study along Grand Avenue from Cretin to Fairview, and as the moratorium on development comes to a close in August 2013, it's time for the community to weigh in. Through a series of two community workshops, we will explore development scenarios to provide guidance to future redevelopment in the neighborhood. The recommendations will be submitted to the St. Paul City Council and the Planning Commission for consideration in the West Grand Avenue Zoning Study.
Two sample sites that will be considered at the workshops include:
* Grand Avenue - potential development site midblock between Finn and Cretin * Snelling Avenue - Southeast corner site at St. Clair Avenue You are encouraged to attend both of these fun and interactive workshops: Wednesday, January 30th 5:30 - 8:30pm Wednesday, February 13th 5:30 - 8:30pm Kagin Commons, Macalester College, 1600 Grand Avenue Hosted by the Macalester-Groveland Community Council, the West Summit Neighborhood Advisory Committee, the University of St. Thomas and Macalester College, and in partnership with the City of Saint Paul and LISC's Corridor Development Initiative. Childcare and translation services will be provided by request only. Please RSVP to Gretchen Nicholls at 651-265-2280 one week in advance of each workshop if you would like to reserve childcare or translation services. For more information, contact: Gretchen Nicholls, TC LISC at 651-265-2280 or gnicholls@lisc.org Afton Martens, MGCC at 651-695-4000 or afton@macgrove.org |
