For Downtown Saint Paul residents and stake-holders, what is ahead in 2018?

With Eric Eskola, Co-host of TPT/"Almanac"


This is a two part discussion:

1. Real Crime Stories! We will sit down with police officials and try to separate myth from reality related to downtown crime: What types of crimes occur where? Are things better or worse than three years ago? What are police doing to address problem areas?

2. Spring Opportunities All across downtown there are new opportunities for residents to get involved in making our neighborhood better, Come and hear more. Ask you questions.

YOUR QUESTIONS: We are accepting your questions now at [email protected]. There will be limited chance to submit written questions during the evening event.

Sit down with police officials

Spring Opportunities

Pedro Park

DATE / TIME:    Monday, April 16, 2018  /  6:00PM – 7:30PM
