The Mac Groveland Community Council – apparently acting as a de facto city planning agency – has been leading the way toward socialized trash collection in Saint Paul.<\/p>\n
And they’re going to be having one of the “public meetings” that have been, in Saint Paul recently, more or less rubber-stamps on the plans the Met Council wanted to pass anyway.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here’s the meeting notice:<\/p>\n
Thank you for your continued support of our Organized Trash Collection project! We invite you to a presentation of our final report and recommendations for moving Saint Paul towards smarter trash collection.
\nWednesday, December 9, 2015<\/strong>
\n7:00 p.m.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nSmail Gallery<\/strong>,\u00a0Olin Rice Science Center<\/strong>\u00a0|\u00a0Macalester College<\/strong>\u00a0(click here for map<\/a>)
\nCan’t make it to the meeting?<\/strong>\u00a0Our final report is available at\u00a0macgrove.org\/trash<\/a><\/strong>. This comprehensive\u00a0report contains our survey analysis,\u00a0research on the history of trash collection in the City of Saint Paul, lessons learned from other communities in the region, and our recommendations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nIt was a self-selected, online survey of no value whatsoever – except for purposes of jamming down the solution the city council already wants.<\/p>\n
I’m more than a lot tempted to be there. \u00a0Preferably with a lot of people who are also perfectly happy with the trash-hauling system we already have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
