IMPORTANT MEETING THIS WEEK!!!!!
Macalester Groveland Community Council Public Hearing on Proposed
Expansion of the University of St. Thomas
Thursday, April 29th, 2004 at 7pm
Immanuel Lutheran Church
Snelling & Lincoln Avenues
I assume the meeting is in the basement meeting room. You can park in
the lot north of the church and enter from the alley door and head down
the stairs. There will likely be signs posted. I also assume the
format will be to sign up as you come in to speak, then when your name
is called, you can share your comments with the community council for
three minutes.
Three minutes goes fast. As you prepare your comments, consider what it
is about the expansion proposal that troubles you, what kind of change
you hope for and what you're asking the Community Council to do. I
would encourage us at this point to turn the table on UST at the
upcoming hearings and focus our comments on what doesn't work about
their proposal (remember, it is still just a proposal) and what we think
will be better. Let's give our listeners our clearest statement of the
problem and our best ideas for the future and insist that the decision
makers act on these issues.
For example, I will argue with my last breath that the expansion
proposal DOES NOT DO what UST says it does. In particular, it does not
solve neighborhood parking and traffic concerns, it only makes them
worse. I believe that the proposed land use must be less dense (fewer
housing units on Grand, save the homes on Summit, one major building on
the east block, not two, and reduce the size and height of that
building). I also believe the project must be reviewed by the Community
Council and the City as part of the larger scheme of projected expansion
over the next 20 years, so that we as a neighborhood can hope for real
solutions to the problems that plague us. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DONE.
THE DECISION MAKERS HAVE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO VIEW THE UST MASTER
CAMPUS PLAN AND REVIEW THE CURRENT PROJECT IN LIGHT OF THAT PLAN. How
would that review help us? One example is the proposed student center
on the corner of Summit and Cretin. At the mediation in 2002, UST
indicated that the center is slated to be the transit hub of the campus.
I would argue that this project and the installation of a true transit
hub, with off campus parking and shuttle service (perhaps connected with
University Avenue Housing) must be undertaken now, before the land use
on the current campus space become ever denser and more students are
housed on campus. It will not help us to crowd more students onto
campus, and get a transit hub 10-15 years from now. What can the
Community Council do? Resolve to insist that the current project be
delayed until the Council and the City can make a full review of the
full campus expansion and work toward a proposal that ensures the long
term viability of the neighborhood.
Unless we keep up the charge, we're going to get Dinkytowned, folks.
Let's not let it happen. Whatever your issue, whatever your proposed
solution, please bring it forth on Thursday. We are going to have to
be the problem solvers and show others the way, or the steamroller will
keep on moving this project through. We must work hand in hand with the
Community Council, the City Council, the Heritage Preservation
Commission, and ...each other!!!. Please share your concerns and
ideas. SAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
Thanks very much. See you on Thursday.
Alyssa
