Background: This is the latest event in an ongoing effort to combine community-engagement with the knowledge of experts to continue redeveloping our community's connections to the Mississippi River. In 1997, the Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development Framework was unveiled as a "living, breathing vision to make our Capital City a truly special place to live, work, visit and play." The Saint Paul Riverfront Corporation has led the initiative of reconnecting the City of Saint Paul and its people, places, and neighborhoods to the Mississippi River in ways that are consistent with the Framework. In early 2004, William Morrish and Ken Greenberg, consultants who advised on the Framework, returned to Saint Paul to analyze the progress. They observed Saint Paul had stayed the course and reaped many benefits, but also highlighted opportunities for further redevelopment. Last November, the Saint Paul Riverfront Corporation hosted Mayor Randy Kelly's StreetBeat community gathering that focused on the future of Saint Paul's riverfront. The community voiced its praise and ideas about where we are and where we are headed. A survey was conducted and the results <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=owpt54aab.0.lhpwgabab.mpi7oyn6.2606&p=http%3A%2 F%2Fwww.riverfrontcorporation.com%2FFiles%2FShowboatSurveyspdf> were inspiring.
