Your perspective can shape things like what stories are told through art in the transformed buildings, safety through design, and more.

Big thanks to the Artist Advisory Cohort for developing this creative way that community members can help shape their libraries.

SO YOU JUST USE BOTH LANES AND RESIST THE URGE TO MERGE EARLY AND THEN TAKE TURNS AT THE MERGE POINT AND EVERYONE KEEPS MOVING AND THAT’S WHY THE ZIPPER MERGE IS SAFE AND EASY AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DO IT IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES

I’ve been reflecting on how fitting this quote by Grace Lee Boggs is on a solstice day. To complain about what isn’t happening is not the work. To note the inadequacy of others’ efforts is not the work. The revolutionary act, as Boggs said, is to create change by *being* change.

With the warmer temps melting a lot of snow today, please consider clearing off your nearest @CityofSaintPaul storm drain of any excess snow and ice. This will help the runoff get off the street, prevent localized street flooding, or build up of ice on streets and storm drains.
