PROJECTS
Three capital projects will transform Saint Paul’s riverfront into centers of river-oriented activity that provide diverse, authentic landscapes and experiences.
GATEWAY
River Learning Center/National Park Service MNRRA Headquarters
The gateway to the Mississippi River, welcoming residents and visitors to this national feature with four-season programming that honors, promotes stewardship of, and teaches the culture, history and ecology of the river.
PROMENADE

LANDSCAPE
East Side River District
A dynamic urban landscape where historically incompatible uses can comfortably coexist and:
- Reveal the complex systems and stories of the area

- Connect to and throughout the area
- Protect sacred and significant Dakota sites
