|
10.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| Thirty semi-finalists have been selected for the "$1 MILLION Forever Saint Paul Challenge," which asked people to submit ideas to improve St. Paul.
A panel will now narrow those down to three to five finalists, and then the public will vote to determine which one gets the $1 million for implementation.
Sponsored by the Saint Paul Foundation, the challenge received more than 900 ideas.
The 30 semi-finalists, in alphabetical order:
Bike-Connect St. Paul
Submitted by: Amy Schroeder Ireland, Saint Paul, MN
Bike-Connect Saint Paul will create a series of permanent outdoor maps of St. Paul's major bike routes. The maps will be installed at major bike-route intersections and the routes on the maps will be color coded, like a subway system (i.e. green line, orange line, red line), with matching color-coded signs installed along the routes. If routes aren’t connected to one another or to a significant destination, then Amy will find a way to connect them.
