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.
District
Council Board Openings
Ever
considered getting more involved in your neighborhood? There are currently openings
on the District 2 Board of Directors. The Board meets on the 3rd Wednesday of
every month at the Hazel Park Recreation Center located at 945 Hazel St at 7pm.
