In December 2011, the City Council accepted the City of West St. Paul Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. The plan was initiated by a grant awarded to the City by Dakota County Active Living with funds provided by the Minnesota State Health Improvement Project and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
The plan will be a long-term guide for transforming the City in to a progressive pedestrian and bicycle friendly community where every citizen can incorporate physical activity into their daily routines. Sidewalks, trails and bikeways, street crossings, way-finding and programs to promote walking and biking are all addressed in the plan.
