The city’s Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan calls out the North End region of Maplewood as an area of opportunity to do additional visioning and planning in order to help this important part of the city stay healthy. The draft 2040 planstates the city should: Complete a subarea plan or district plan for the Maplewood Mall area, tohelp define the following: a.Expectations regarding anticipated mixes of land uses on a block by block basis. b.Expectations regarding urban design principles guiding redevelopment in the area. Workshop Packet Page Number 1 of 29 E1 c. Opportunities for connections and synergy with the HealthEast St. Johns campus and surrounding supportive health care facilities. d.Improvements to support pedestrian, bicycling, and transit connectivity, particularly the METRO Rush Line stations. e.Further definition of implementation tools and steps to be completed, to support redevelopment and revitalization. As referenced above, a regional transit line is being planned that would traverse through this neighborhood in Maplewood. The proposed Rush Line will have five stations in Maplewood – including stations near the Maplewood Mall and St. John’s Hospital in this neighborhood. City staff is working to ensure these two processes are developed in coordination and inform each other. Background Anchored by the Maplewood Mall and St. John's Hospital, the North End is an important economic generator for the City of Maplewood and oneof the premier activity centers in the northeastern portion of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Furthermore, the City of Maplewood is currently working with Ramsey County and the Metropolitan Council on planning for a new multimillion dollar Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line - the Rush Line - that will have two stations serving the North End district and three more stations serving other parts of Maplewood. Although the North End has been constantly evolving since it was first developed over 40 years ago, significant changes in the real estate industry and our overall economy are rapidly redefining where and how we live, work, and play. Activity centers once designed to be accessible only by automobile are losing their viability unless they can transform into truly connected places defined not only by multi-modal systems but by new uses and development that reinforce walkability, livability, and placemaking. Therefore, it is critical that the City of Maplewood work with key stakeholders and other important constituents to create a consensus vision and framework for the North End that will ensure its position as a hub of vital activity well into the future.
