A Better Way is an advocacy group for better development and better investment in St Paul. A Better Way began as an advocacy group for better development on Grand Avenue, and has expanded to encompass development city-wide.

Our current top issue is the Summit Avenue Master Plan. Our goals are to:

  • Raise awareness of the project
  • Inspire stakeholder participation
  • Save trees
  • Promote multi-modal use of Summit, most especially pedestrians
  • Promote enjoyment & appreciation of Summit Avenue as a unique, historic treasure
