Trees, Transit & Safety

 The way our streets are designed and cared for shapes daily life in West 7th. A healthy tree canopy, safe pedestrian crossings, and reliable multimodal transportation aren’t just “nice to have”—they are essential to community health, safety, and resilience. By investing in greener, safer, and more conn

Our Priorities

Trees & Green Infrastructure

  •  Plant and maintain more street trees to cool our streets, clean our air, and add beauty to our corridor.
     
  • Protect and expand the urban tree canopy throughout West 7th.
     
  • Support green infrastructure projects—like rain gardens and boulevard plantings—that reduce flooding and improve water quality.

Safe Crossings & Walkability

  • Identify dangerous intersections and advocate for crosswalk upgrades.
     
  • Support traffic-calming measures that make walking safer for all users.
     
  • Encourage the addition of public amenities like benches, lighting, and trash/recycling bins to make walking comfortable and inviting.

Multimodal Transportation

Multimodal Transportation

  • Push for reliable, safe, and affordable transit service that meets the needs of all residents.
     
  • Improve bicycle connections and access to regional trails.
     
  • Ensure new development supports a walkable, transit-friendly West 7th.

What We're Doing

  • Hosting neighborhood walking tours to observe and document tree canopy gaps, pedestrian challenges, and transit access.
     
  • Collecting feedback from residents and businesses to share with MnDOT and the City of Saint Paul.
     
  • Incorporating findings into our 10-Year District Plan so future investments reflect community priorities.

Get Involved

  • Join an event: Take part in upcoming walks and dialogues.
     
  • Share your observations: Tell us about unsafe crossings, missing trees, or transit gaps.
     
  •  Volunteer: Join our Transportation  Committee to help shape the future of West 7th.
