Summit University Planning Council

Description

Since the mid-1970s, Saint Paul has been divided into seventeen districts to allow and encourage citizen participation in the process of local government. Each district is represented by a community
council that works to gather input from residents on community concerns and forward advisory opinions for Saint Paul City Council consideration. The Councils also advise the City of St. Paul on zoning and city plans as they affect the various districts.

The Summit-University Planning Council (SUPC) represents and serves the over 18,000 residents within District 8. District 8's boundaries are University Avenue on the North, Summit Avenue on the South, John Ireland Boulevard and Marion Avenue on the East, and Lexington Parkway on the West. The Council builds community partnerships and programs that foster holistic health in our community, and advises the City of St. Paul on zoning and city plans as they affect District 8.
