Members will be responsible for representing residential and business diversity throughout the corridor while balancing transportation needs.
The Station Area Planning Task Force will guide the development of station area plans within the city of Saint Paul as well as advise and host community engagement efforts related to station area planning.
The Station Area Planning Task Force will be co-chaired by a member of the Saint Paul Planning Commission appointed by the City of Saint Paul, and a Station Area Planning Task Force member chosen by the Station Area Planning Task Force’s membership.

We’re looking for artists who are both engaged in their communities and are interested in making a difference through this project. 4RM+ULA, as part of the Riverview Corridor project team, seeks to hire up to three artists with experience using artistic and creative means to build relationships and engage communities.
The selected artists will work as part of a team alongside lead project artists, planners, engineers, architects and designers. Together, the team will engage the community in consensus building around the locally preferred alternative for a modern streetcar. The artists will also help build relationships with the neighborhood residents, local businesses and organizations along the 12-mile stretch of the Riverview Corridor.
The ideal candidates will have demonstrated backgrounds with community-engaged art, live and/or work along the Riverview Corridor, and have experience working within diverse communities. We strongly encourage applications from people who identify as members of marginalized and underrepresented communities. This opportunity is a part-time independent contractor position, funded through 2023. Much of the work will be concentrated on evenings, weekends and during warmer months. The average stipend for each artist is $4,000 per year.
To apply please complete the interest form for 4RM+ULA. If you have questions, please contact 4RM+ULA at riverview.corridor.artists@gmail.com with the subject heading: Community Engagement Artist - Question.

The planned modern streetcar line includes use of existing METRO Green Line stations and tracks in downtown Saint Paul and existing METRO Blue Line stations and tracks south of the Mississippi River beginning at Fort Snelling. Nine new stations are planned along West 7th Street (State Highway 5). |
