Open Call for 2024–25 SAPCC Board Member Candidates
Are you interested in improving and engaging with your community? Want greater input in our democratic process? Have a commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion? Join the St. Anthony Park Community Council by becoming a board member.
Elected/appointed delegates or alternates to SAPCC serve as members of its board of directors, which has the responsibility of governing the organization. Board members are involved in many organizational tasks including planning, financing and policy decisions.
Interested candidates should read the board job description at sapcc.org/candidates. If you feel that you’d be a good fit for our board, please fill out the Board Candidate Questionnaire. Physical copies of the questionnaire can also be found at multiple locations throughout the neighborhood. Visit the website for a list of locations. Applications are due Oct. 27, 2023.
Candidates must be at least 16 years of age at the start of their term. Those who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, people with different abilities and neighbors who rent are especially encouraged to apply. All voices and perspectives matter and deserve to be heard loud and clear!
Please contact info@sapcc.org with any questions.
Meeting with the Minnesota Department of Transportation
The next transportation committee meeting will be held Oct. 24 on Zoom from 7–9 p.m. Please note that this is one week earlier than usual and will substitute for the regularly scheduled meeting.
This meeting will include a special presentation and discussion with the Minnesota Department of Transportation about planned work scheduled in 2026 on and around Highway 280. This work will affect cross streets including Energy Park Drive, Territorial Road and Franklin and Wabash Avenues, including pedestrian and bike infrastructure as well as the highway itself. MnDOT also plans to remove the left turn lane on 280 at Broadway and resurface the lanes, possibly raising the speed limit — which SAPCC has opposed in the past.
Please join us to give your input on this project. For the Zoom link, please email info@sapcc.org.
