What is a Community Council?

In a large city like Saint Paul it is easy to feel like you don't have a say in the decisions that affect you. Community Councils are a way to give residents a voice in the decisions that affect their neighborhoods and our city.

District 2 is one of Saint Paul's 17 planning districts. We are located in the northeast corner of St. Paul. Our boundaries are: Larpenteur Ave. on the north; McKnight Road on the east; Minnehaha Ave. to the south; and Johnson Parkway and the old Burlington Northern railroad berm to the west.

Each of the city's planning districts has a Community Council as its official citizen participation organization. District 2 Community Council is your neighborhood organization. We are not part of city government-although we often cooperate with the city and police in addressing problems.

You Can Make a Difference

Use your hands and ideas to help your neighborhood. There are lots of volunteer opportunities at District 2! No experience is necessary and special interests are encouraged.

How about serving on the board or a committee, being the contact person for your block or apartment building, chaperoning a teen dance, helping at the cleanup, or working on an issues that interest you?

New faces are welcome-call the District 2 office at 651-774-2220 or drop us an email at info@district2council.org for more information on how to get involved in these or any other activities.
