Kick Start Our Work on the Riverview Corridor

This summer, we started outreach and organizing in the Riverview Corridor, which runs from downtown Saint Paul to the airport and Mall of America. So far we've hosted member gatherings along the corridor and met a lot of residents at National Night Out. We just started door-knocking along the corridor. We're having some fantastic conversations--and collecting surveys about residents' hopes for the corridor. But it's a BIG corridor. Your support could help us reach more people! Please help us reach our goal of raising $2,500 for community engagement efforts.

Background: The corridor is the focus of a study about increasing transit options (visit www.riverviewcorridor.org for information). We believe neighborhood residents, organizations, and business owners should be deeply involved in the decision making process. It’s early enough in the process that we can think big picture and make clear both what residents love and want to keep and what changes they want to see to make it easier to get around.

What does your donation help us do? Increase our capacity to meet with more community groups, business owners, and individuals.

Our goals for this work are as follows:

• identify residents’ concerns about their neighborhoods today and their vision for the future
• share experiences and compare Riverview with other corridors
• explore options for bicycling and walking access to transit and key destinations

The population of the Riverview corridor will be growing over the next thirty years. Mobility needs will be changing. Help us work with the community to think ahead and determine their future.

Please help us meet our fundraising goal! Thank you!
