Virtual Workshops: Be a Savvy Energy Consumer-Save Energy and MoneyAre you looking for some ways to control expenses in 2021? Have you ever wondered what all those line items mean on your energy bills? Does your home feel drafty?
During this virtual workshop, you'll learn how to understand your energy bills, receive tips to reduce energy consumption, identify steps to make your home more comfortable, and learn about money-saving utility programs and rebates, including COVID related programs. We have invited the Citizens Utility Board of Minnesota, a non-profit consumer advocate, to lead this informative and interactive talk. Two virtual sessions are available with plenty of time for questions and answers:

Area 1 Parking Study
The parking study for Area 1, between Downtown and St. Clair, is complete.

Explore the History and Evolution of West 7th Street
West Seventh is a very diverse area. Its buildings include some of the oldest in the city as well as some of the newest. Once an important industrial district and transportation hub, it is now largely residential and commercial. Its population has declined and evolved from the early twentieth century but remains home to a mixture of middle and working class households. In cooperation with Macalester College, the Fort Road Federation has created a way to look at the History of West 7th Street through a neighborhood tour, demographic research on the people who have called West 7th Street home, and fascinating "Spyglass" technology that let's the user compare Old Fort Road with West 7th Street! 
Riverview Corridor
A modern streetcar route along West 7th Street has been recommended as the draft locally preferred alternative or "LPA" for creating a new transit connection between downtown Saint Paul, the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America.
