Please give us feedback on these two new concepts created by Kathleen Anglo at the City of Saint Paul Park's design department. These concepts are draft designs with the goal of generating feedback. We are not picking between the two concepts and deciding which one will be implemented. We will combine, add, and subtract elements as necessary with the goal of coming as close as possible to a community consensus.
Please send Renee an e-mail or call with your comments on the following questions.

“Precious Waters” was produced by the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. It was written, directed and edited by award-winning filmaker John Whitehead. John is a St. Anthony Park resident and will be on hand to lead a discussion and answer questions after the screening.
The film features a broad array of voices discussing Minnesota’s sulfide mining industry. The Friends of the Boundary Waters has identified sulfide mining as a significant threat to the long-term preservation of the Boundary Waters and the surrounding region. The short film is intended to raise public awareness about the risks of this new form of mining, and to spur informed public discussion and involvement in decisions about its future in Minnesota.

With humor, hope and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand and co-director Daniel B. Gold travel from Helfand’s hometown to America’s vinyl manufacturing capital and beyond in search of answers about the nature of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Her parents’ decision to “re-side” their house with this seemingly benign cure-all for many suburban homes turns into a toxic odyssey with twists and turns that most ordinary homeowners would never dare to take. The result is a humorous but sobering and uniquely personal exploration of the relationship between consumers and industry.
There have been many people in St. Anthony Park who can hear the noise from the new TCF stadium during the games. We are putting together a list of addresses just to get a map of it. If you hear noise from the stadium from inside your home, please email amy@sapcc.org with your address.

A public forum will be held to discuss potential changes to the alignment of Bayless Ave and Bayless Place next to Hampden Park. This would affect the triangle area of the park - where the sumac is. The changes are part of the Hampden Park master planning process but the discussion will be focused on street re-alignment. New information will be presented on November 10, 2009. We do not have plans we can post at this time. They will be posted when we have them - probably after the 10th. If you came to a coffee hour this is the same discussion. No final decisions will be made on the 10th. Environment Committee will discuss next steps at their December 2nd meeting at 7pm at the South SAP Rec Center, to which all are invited.
On October 29th, when City of St. Paul Forestry crews were out doing removals for destructive sampling with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, an Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infested ash tree was found in the middle of Langford Park.
If you have concerns about a tree, look at the "Do I Have EAB Worksheet" for the next steps. To see a larger map of identified locations, click on the map. For more information, go to the MDA site.
