This afternoon about 25 people turned out for the first ever West St. Paul Rider community bike ride celebrating the River-to-River Greenway in West St. Paul. The casual ride explored the new trails and Robert Street underpass.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the underpass will be held on Thursday, October 7, and here’s a rundown of the future projects coming to the Greenway.
Several elected officials came out, including Dakota County Commissioner Joe Atkins, West St. Paul City Council Member Lisa Eng-Sarne, and ISD 197 School Board Member Maureen Ramirez. We also raised money for the Residents of Color Collective (ROCC).
