Advocates for Responsible Development is a citizen’s group which was established to ensure that the University of St. Thomas and the City of Saint Paul fully consider and mitigate all adverse effects the Multi-Purpose Arena may have on the environment and residential community where UST is situated prior to the building the arena.

We strongly believe that the arena should not be built on the South Campus as it will cause significant traffic and parking congestion, reduce neighborhood livability and negatively impact the Mississippi River Gorge.

ARD promotes transparency and public awareness. Contact us directly at info@advocates4rd.org.

ARD is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
