The city of St. Paul has announced the names of four the parks at Highland Bridge development, which is located at the former Ford Site along the Mississippi River.
Names were submitted by the public and selected with feedback from members of the Dakota community and the Saint Paul Youth Commission. The Saint Paul Parks and Recreation Commission was also part of the process.
“The chosen names for these public spaces reflect a myriad of our city’s histories honoring our Native community to whom this land belongs, our Union sisters and brothers who labored on the site for a century, our city’s interconnectivity with the rest of the region, and a very popular coyote in our neighborhood,” said Ward 3 Council Member Chris Tolbert in a statement.

St. Paul and Ramsey County have given away more than $12.7 million in emergency grants to about 1,300 small businesses hit hard by the pandemic, with leaders emphasizing the need for both speed and equity in distributing those funds.

A Star Tribune analysis of city and county data found that while businesses throughout St. Paul benefited from the St. Paul Bridge Fund for Small Businesses and the Ramsey County Small Business Relief Fund, awards were sparser in some of the city s poorest areas, including the East Side and North End.
