On Thursday, April 10th, the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) of the Riverview Corridor Study met at Union Depot to approve the Technical Advisory Committee's (TAC) recommendation to hire two firms for the study.
AECOM of Los Angeles was chosen as the engineering firm to conduct the Pre-Project Development portion of the study. They will be partnering with ZAN Communications of Minneapolis who will work on community outreach and goal setting. Zan Associates will use a new technology called MindMixer to hold electronic town hall meetings.
The local Saint Paul team of Ted Davis and Mike Zipko were approved for the communications piece of the Riverview Corridor Study. They will do social media outreach, branding, strategy, media relations, and community relations as the expected 17 month project moves along.
The recommendation from the PAC on hiring these two teams next goes to the Ramsey County Regional Rail Authority, which must also approve the two hires. Tim Mayasich, Director of the Ramsey County Regional Rail Authority, expects approval by the end of April or beginning of May, and completion of contract documents by sometime in June.
