Apr 4, 2017
At our March Member Meeting, I asked you to talk about something your business is strong in - a skill, product, system you've figured out. When we start with strengths, we access something quite different than if we start with deficits and needs. This week we start sharing on social media some of the strengths we heard.
In that spirit, don't miss the Union Job Fair happening today and a host of wonderful offerings in our community events section including ending the month with Community of Peace as they draw on many strengths to host a playground-raising on their property for use by the whole community.
Mark your calendars and RSVP for ESABA's April Member Meeting - we're doing our Season of Road Construction Forecast. Come and find out how to route around the coming snafus.
Finally, ESABA's Holiday Gala committee has devised something totally new and our formal dinner has been reborn: East Side Spring Revival - we bring you cocktails like our grandparents drank them, in a roaring 20s theme. See below and get your tickets fast before they're gone. Only 100 seats in this Speakeasy...
Watch for more opportunities to share strengths through the ESABA network. When we do that, we can draw on each other's best chance to found the East Side we want and need on something solid that we can build on.
ESABA Monthly Member Meeting
April is Road Construction Preview. Rushline Comments will get in there too and some follow-up from March: Start with Strengths...
This year's theme is the roaring 20s on the East Side. Instead of a formal sit-down, we are bringing you a cocktail party with plenty of Italian eats and an array of desserts, entertainment, fundraising, and classic cocktails. Think of it as a trip back in time to a speakeasy in a place you'd least expect to find one. Mueller Memorial hosts our Annual shebang in their St. Paul location. You ain't seen nothin' like this from ESABA. You won't want to miss it. Tickets on sale now at the early bird rate - ESABA East Side Spring Revival.
Rushline Moving Ahead - Everyone on the Bus!
Get prepared to Speak UP
Here are three aspects of the Rushline Draft routing that we think are worthy of comment:
Not on E 7th... but improvements on E. 7th are cited - so that's something.
The Arcade and Phalen stop becomes critical to get this right: if we don't the bus goes through the East Side but not really to the East Side. Bring the stop up to grade at Arcade.
It co-locates with the Bruce Vento Trail for much of the route which will change that asset. What do you think needs to be done to make sure that all works?
See details below to chime in
about this and other aspects of the draft routing. We can be a significant part of whether this Locally Preferred Alternative will be preferred locally. So we can swagger a bit... but only if we speak up!
Open House + Public Hearing
We want to know what you think about the draft alternative, which is why a public hearing will be held on April 27 from 5-8 p.m. at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. The church is located at 1390 Larpenteur Avenue in St Paul. If you cannot attend the public hearing, please send your comments via email to info@rushline.org or by US mail to: Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority Attn: Rush Line Corridor comments 214 E. 4th Street, Suite 200 Saint Paul, MN 55101
