At the October 7, 2021 Land Use Committee Meeting we heard from St. Paul Parks & Rec Lead Landscape Architect Anne Gardner about the final plans for the Como Pavilion and Golf Course Parking lot upgrades coming in the next year.
The Land Use Committee gave feedback over the last year and a half and seeing some of the changes implemented in the final plans was a rewarding experience. We will update with construction and closure schedules after a contractor is hired for the project.
