Funding raises Rondo hopes By Editorial Board Text size Copy shortlink: Dreams of a Rondo Land Bridge in St. Paul moved closer to reality recently after receiving well-deserved funding boosts from public sources. The project seeks to build a land bridge over a five-block stretch of Interstate 94 that would reconnect the historic Black neighborhood and restore some of what was lost when the freeway sliced through the community. It s gratifying to see the land bridge championed simultaneously at the state and federal levels … because so many key people now see it as a win-win, said Keith Baker, director of the Reconnect Rondo group that is organizing the development. It s restoring the loss of a neighborhood, but also … narrowing the wealth gap that has crippled the African American community for far too long.
