Background:
Officer Abdirisak was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He moved to the Twin Cities about two
and half years ago to live with his older brother who was moving to the Twin Cities from Madison,
Wisconsin. Prior to moving to Minnesota, Officer Abdirisak was a pre-medicalstudent at Indiana
University. Officer Abdirisak graduated from Decatur Central High School which is located on the
southwest side of Indianapolis in 2017. Shortly after graduating high school, Officer Abdirisak started
school at Indiana University and majored in Neuroscience.
Council Packet Page Number 13 of 177
F3
During the COVID lockdown, Officer Abdirisak decided to do some career exploration as he always had
an interest in serving his community and others. After doing a ride-along with a trooper, Officer
Abdirisak decided he wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement.
Shortly after moving to Minnesota, Officer Abdirisak started school at Metro State University in Saint
Paul. In December of 2023, Officer Abdirisak graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Police
Science from Metro State University. While attending school at Metro State University, Officer Abdirisak
also worked as a Community Service Officer with the Golden Valley Police Department. Officer
Abdirisak also served as a Police Cadet with the City of Edina. Shortly after graduating from college,
Officer Abdirisak was hired as a full-time police officer with the City of Maplewood.
Officer Abdirisak became interested in the Maplewood Police Department after observing the
department's positive relationships with the community in addition to the family-like environment within
the police department. Officer Abdirisak also likes that the City of Maplewood has the best of both
worlds when it comes to proactive policing as well as the call volume which exposes officers to various
aspects of police work.
Looking forward, Officer Abdirisak has an interest in becoming a dedicated traffic enforcement officer.
Officer Abdirisak also has an interest in becoming a detective. Prior to starting with the City of
Maplewood, Officer Abdirisak was new to the area however, within a short time, he has become familiar
with the east metro.
When Officer Abdirisak is not working, he enjoys going to the gym, trying out new restaurants, watching
sports, and spending time with family and friends.
Officer Born was born and raised in Shakopee, Minnesota. After finishing high school, Officer Born
attended the University of Minnesota Twin Cities where he earned a bachelor’s degree in human
physiology. After spending a few years working in multiple emergency departments in Minneapolis,
Officer Born found his interests to be more aligned with law enforcement than a career in medicine.
After some deliberation with his father, a retired Golden Valley Officer, Officer Born decided to make
the switch. After finishing the Law Enforcement Certificate Program through Metro State University,
Officer Born attended the skills program at Hennepin Tech. Officer Born then passed his POST
licensing exam and began searching for his department.
While searching for a department that would be a good fit for him, Officer Born came upon the city of
Maplewood. Officer Born was attracted to multiple aspects of Maplewood. Officer Born didn’t want to
work for a city where the calls were few and far between as he likes to stay busy. At the same time, he
wanted a balance and didn’t want to feel overwhelmed with his workload. Maplewood, being a first-ring
suburb, was a good balance of urban and suburban. Additionally, Officer Born wanted to feel supported
by the city that he works for. Maplewood’s community and leaders have a history of constantly backing
its officers.
In his free time, Officer Born likes to prioritize his physical fitness. He enjoys going to the gym as it
provides a break for his brain and a challenge for his body. He is also getting into pickleball and loves
trying new sports and activities outdoors.
Officer Mallet was born and raised in the city of Maplewood and attended Maplewood and North St.
Paul Schools growing up. As a kid, Officer Mallet spent most of his time outside of school playing street
hockey with neighbors and bike riding or skateboarding with friends on the Bruce Vento trail. Officer
Council Packet Page Number 14 of 177

th
Mallet first became interested in law enforcement in 5grade, when he attended Officer Metry’s
D.A.R.E. program at Weaver Elementary School. Officer Mallet received an associate’s degree in law
enforcement from Century College and completed the law enforcement SKILLS program at Hennepin
Technical College. While going to school for law enforcement, Officer Mallet was a volunteer reserve
officer and full-time community service officer for the Stillwater Police Department; also working as a
part time Community Service Officer for the Cottage Grove Police Department. Officer Mallet began his
career as a Police Officer with the Stillwater Police Department in the beginning of 2018, when he was
21 years old.
After serving the city of Stillwater for six years, Officer Mallet had a desire to return to his hometown to
serve the community that he was raised in. One of the greatest aspects that appealed to Officer Mallet
about the Maplewood Police Department was the opportunity to join an agency that he has wanted to
be a part of since he was child. Officer Mallet has a desire to one day become a canine handler and
would also like to be assigned to a traffic enforcement role during his career.
During his free time, Officer Mallet enjoys spending time with his two dogs, Barney (a 3-year-old
Beagle) and Rocco (a 3-year-old French Bulldog). Officer Mallet also enjoys playing hockey with friends
from Stillwater Fire and White Bear Lake Fire Department during the winter.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date September 23, 2024
REPORT TO:Michael Sable, City Manager
REPORT FROM:Brian Bierdeman, Public Safety Director
PRESENTER:Brian Bierdeman, Public Safety Director
AGENDA ITEM: Staffing and Efficiency Study with the Center for Values-Based Initiatives
for the Maplewood Police Department
Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
The Maplewood Police Department, as part of the department’s strategic goals, seeks to initiate a
comprehensive Staffing and Efficiency Study. A study of this kind has never been conducted within
the police department. The department is committed to being data-driven and proactive in
addressing the needs of the community. This Staffing and Efficiency Study is an essential step in
ensuring that the department is appropriately staffed to meet the changing demands of the growing
community of Maplewood, while maintaining operational efficiency and effectiveness.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve the Staffing and Efficiency Study Agreement with the Center for Values-Based
Initiatives (CVBI) for the Maplewood Police Department.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $107,500.00
Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source
Use of Reserves Other: Restricted Funds.
Strategic Plan Relevance:
Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship
Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment
City Council approval is requested to sign the agreement.
Background:
The Maplewood Police Department has never undergone a comprehensive Staffing and Efficiency
Study to thoroughly evaluate current staffing levels, analysis of workload, shift structures and patrol
deployment. Participating in this process will allow the department to identify areas where staffing
may be insufficient or overextended and ensure that resources are allocated where they are
needed most. Additionally, the department will gather community input and benchmark department
Council Packet Page Number 46 of 177
G3
performance against similar-sized departments, using key metrics such as crime rates, officer
response times, and overall community satisfaction.
The study will also review resource allocation, exploring the need for specialized units and
additional support staff to maximize personnel deployment. In looking to the future, projections
based on anticipated community growth and crime trends will be developed to ensure the
department is equipped for proactive planning.The results of this study will provide actionable
recommendations and a detailed implementation plan, including specific timelines and the
necessary resources.
This initiative will not only guide the police department’s strategic planning but will also be integral
to budgetary planning and decision-making, ensuring the police department continues to deliver
high-quality service while maintaining efficiency. It is important to note that this study will be funded
through public safety aid money.
To conduct the study, a request for quotes (RFQ) was sent to three firms: The Center for Values-
Based Initiatives (CVBI), Raftelis, and The Axtel Group. The following quotes were received:
Company Proposal Total Cost
Axtel Group $109,900.00
CVBI $107,500.00
Raftelis $99,500.00
A committee of police administrative staff scored the RFQs based on several criteria, including
qualifications and experience, methodology and approach, knowledge of local issues, project
timeline, cost, references and past performance.
After careful consideration, The Center for Values-Based Initiatives (CVBI) was selected as it
offered the best overall value for the city by aligning seamlessly with the department’s goals and
providing a forward-thinking, actionable staffing study. Their approach complements Maplewood’s
community-oriented policing strategy and supports the long-term public safety objectives of the
department. CVBI demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges the department
faces, particularly in delivering effective public safety services within a diverse and evolving
community like Maplewood. This local expertise will be invaluable in ensuring the study’s
recommendations are both practical and tailored to the specific needs of the department. While
CVBI’s bid wasn’t the lowest, their proposal stood out for its comprehensive scope, added value
through their methodology, and relevant experience. Opting for a firm based purely on cost could
compromise the quality and long-term impact of the study, which would be a disservice to the city.
The department is confident that CVBI’s expertise will guide department resource allocation in a
way that enhances both the department’s operations and the community’s well-being for years to
come.

SECTION 1: SCOPE OF WORK
This proposal is in response to the Maplewood Police Department (MPD) Request for Quotation (RFQ). The
MPD is seeking a qualified professional consultant to develop a plan for guiding the future police services to
the Maplewood community in the most efficient and effective manner. The Center for Values-Based Initiatives
(CVBI) has a longstanding personal and professional connection with the City of Maplewood and would be
honored to positively contribute to the police department and community.
The CVBI is committed to the application of best-practices in all aspects for police services; therefore, the
CVBI’s approach will follow a strategic planning model that has been shown to increase organizational
performance, employee morale, and police/community trust. In brief, the primary goal of this proposal is to
conduct a comprehensive police services staffing study and guided by best practices, make recommendations
and provide an implementable plan for the future success of the department.
The CVBI understands and affirms the purpose, goals, and deliverables associated with the MPD’s staffing
study. Therefore, this proposal includes a detailed work plan that meets or exceeds all the Department’s
expectations:
The Maplewood Police Department seeks qualified vendors to submit quotations for a
comprehensive staffing study. This study will assess the department's current staffing
levels, allocation, and deployment practices to ensure optimal performance and alignment
with community needs. Although we are a public safety department in which the Director
of Public Safety/Police Chief oversees Police, Fire, and EMS, this staffing study will focus on
police staffing and operations.
The CVBI will complete the following Scope of Work and Deliverables:
Evaluate Current Staffing: Analyze current staffing levels, shifts, and roles within the MPD.
Assess Workload Distribution: Examine the distribution of workload among officers and
support staff.
Benchmarking: Compare MPD's staffing levels and practices with similar-sized departments
in comparable communities.
Community Needs Analysis: Assess the community's needs and expectations from the
police department.
Recommendations: Provide actionable recommendations for staffing adjustments,
deployment strategies, and potential reorganization to enhance efficiency and
effectiveness.
Deliverables:
o Initial Assessment Report: A preliminary report summarizing initial findings and
potential areas for further analysis.
o Final Report: A detailed report including all analyses, findings, and
recommendations.
o Presentation: A formal presentation of the final report to MPD leadership and
relevant stakeholders.

SECTION 2: PROPOSED APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
Approach
There is ample evidence that reducing staff and/or subjecting staff to poor working conditions reduces
organizational effectiveness and morale. However, empirical studies do not show that simply increasing the
number of police officers automatically improves officer safety, organizational morale, or community.
Moreover, evidence cannot be found that shows the speed in answering calls for service or number of officers
on the street corresponds with increased community/police trust.
Most police staffing studies do not begin with a focus on the organizational mission and the goal of increasing
community/public safety. This means that many studies conclude with a report that discusses full- and part-
time equivalent employees, relief factors, deployment models, and response times. In contrast, research on
best-practices shows that efforts to answer public safety staffing questions must be wholistic (21CP Solutions,
2023; IACP, 2023; Wilson et all, 2014). For example, in Pillar One of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century
Policing (2015), the primary purpose for public safety organizational decisions should be to increase trust and
legitimacy.
Too often staffing studies result in narrowly focused exploration of short term solutions to organizational
challenges (Bostrom 2020). Therefore, the CVBI will utilize a comprehensive approach (International
Organization for Standardization 2019) to the MPD staffing study. All aspects of the CVBI’s work will align with
the MPD mission: in partnership with its citizens, will work to solve problems relating to crime and the fear of
crime, with an emphasis on meeting community needs (Maplewood Public Safety, 2024).
In summary, the CVBI will apply the principles of action research and best-practices throughout this study. This
approach will incorporate the City’s unique characteristics community composition and expectations, staffing
strengths, calls for service, geography, and available budget. Mostly importantly, this approach will result in a
staffing structure that increases organizational performance and trust.
Methodology
As described in the RFQ, the primary objectives of the Scope of Work include the following: Evaluate Current
Staffing, Assess Workload Distribution, Benchmarking, Community Needs Analysis, and Recommendations. The
CVBI’s methodology to complete the MPD deliverables is a milestone-based work plan. Each milestone
functions as a deliverable and includes an Initial Assessment Report to the Director of the Maplewood Public
Safety which summarizes initial findings and potential areas for further analysis.
To improve future operationalization of the staffing study, instead of attempting to isolate each objective in
the Scope of Work, the CVBI has intentionally included more than one objective in each milestone. The Final
Report will include a detailed report including all analyses, findings, considerations, opportunities, and
recommendations. The culminating event will be for the CVBI to provide an in-person formal presentation of
the final report to MPD leadership and relevant stakeholders.
Methodological details regarding the CVBI’s work plan, milestones, and deliverables are provided below.

OPTIONAL SERVICES
This staffing study presents a cost effective opportunity for the MPD to:
Complete a strategic plan that increases performance and community/police trust
Assess technology, data, and information systems
Evaluate contracting policing services to nearby communities
If the MPD has not recently completed the above areas of planning, assessment, and/or evaluation, the CVBI
could easily leverage the data collected throughout the staffing study as the foundation for the achievement of
the above opportunities. Most departments initiate the above projects as independent RFPs/RFQs, resulting in
much higher consulting costs.
If the MPD is interested in completing any of the above optional services, the CVBI could tailor the staffing
study milestones so they are inclusive of the information necessary for a comprehensive strategic plan,
assessment of current and future technological needs, and exploration of opportunities and challenges
associated with contracting policing services. As a result, the CVBI would be able to complete these optional
deliverables at 50% to 75% less time and cost when compared to issuing and managing individual RFQs.

Project Title: Public Safety Staffing Study
Description of Project: Project Scope
The City of New Brighton sought proposals to conduct a comprehensive public safety services and staffing
study to provide operational recommendations and best practices to implement for the future success of
the department. The high-level categories below offer exploratory statements and questions that the CVBI
answered as a part of this study.
Overall Staffing and Structure
Recommend an optimal staffing model and leadership structure for the entire Department of Public
Safety including providing a proposed organizational chart(s). Consider City demographics, call volume,
call structure, response model, and community expectations in identifying the needs of the
Department. Evaluate how leave time, training commitments and programs impact the Department’s
ability to provide core services. Adhere to the concept of a unified public safety model. Define systems
and structures for improving communications and relationships between leadership, frontline
supervisors, and line staff. Establish metrics for future staffing recommendations. Assess internal
functions (i.e., professional standards, property/evidence, training, information technology, etc.).
Personnel Resource Allocation
The majority of additional sworn officer positions have been added in non-patrol functions of the
department with little change to field-based, patrol deployment numbers. Is the current workload in
all units appropriate with manageable span of control for leaders? How could civilian/non-licensed
staff be further utilized? Are schedules appropriate?
Fire Service Delivery
New Brighton’s firefighting approach is unique in the region. Most neighboring fire departments have
shifted to combination staffing with duty-crew shifts and/or career firefighters. Is the volunteer/paid-
on-call firefighting model sustainable long-term? What additional measures could ensure its continued
viability for recruitment and retention?
Strategic Partnerships
New Brighton’s extensive relationships with police, fire, EMS, and emergency management partners
are integral to the functioning of the department. What are the risks and opportunities for public
safety in New Brighton with its dependence on these partnerships? Are there additional relationships
that the department should pursue with other entities?
Community Engagement
Despite its national and international recognition for policing, New Brighton continues to further
innovate and develop proactive relationships with the community, especially new residents. What
additional means of public education and outreach initiatives should the department employ? How
can other municipal departments be part of these efforts?

Data and Technology
Technological advancements both enhance and challenge the department. Further, public safety
generates and collects a lot of data. How can New Brighton fully utilize the value of this information to
enhance department operations? Are allocations for personnel, training, and equipment sufficient to
meet the department’s technology and data needs?
Contracted Services Expansion
Both adjacent and non-contiguous cities have previously asked New Brighton to consider providing
public safety services to their communities on a contractual basis. Current municipal governance also
has interest in developing a revenue generation model of public safety service delivery to other
jurisdictions. Is this a financially prudent and operationally achievable approach to expanding service
delivery beyond New Brighton’s borders?

Project Title: Strategic Plan to Increase Community/Police Trust
Description of Project:
The primary goal of this project was to increase trust and reduce tension between law enforcement and
the communities they serve. It supported the Bloomington Police Department (BPD) through a transition
from a traditional model of recruiting, selecting, training, and promoting law enforcement personnel to a
values-based model that enables them to Hire for Character and Train for Competence®. This new model
of policing is based on the identification of the community's values and the alignment of those values with
the recruitment, selection, evaluation, and promotion of BPD officers. The key to project success was the
unwavering focus on community engagement, internal engagement, employee retention, and
organizational assessment. Utilizing the preceding strategies, the goal of increasing police trust and
reducing community tension was accomplished through the alignment of the values and mindsets of peace
officers with those of the community they serve.
Consulting services provided by the CVBI resulted in the implementation of a strategic plan to increase
community/police trust. The CVBI thoroughly reviewed the existing model utilized for recruitment and
selection of BPD officers, interviewed stakeholders, and consulted with BPD leadership to create a new
community policing and values-based recruitment and selection business model specifically for BPD. Also,
the CVBI assisted BPD leadership with implementing the new model by aligning it with organizational
outcomes, Federal and State employment laws, City policies and procedures, and ISO 9001 (i.e.,
International Standard ISO 18091). The CVBI also included supplementary deliverables that will strengthen
the sustainability of the project. These deliverables did not result in additional costs to the City.

Project Title: Current Policing Services Analysis/Future Service Recommendation
Description of Project:
The scope of services consisted of three primary areas: Current Service Analysis, Future Service
Recommendations, and Task Force Recommendations Implementation.
Current Service Analysis
Current service analysis included community value and satisfaction, workload, and policing service
contract.
Future Service Recommendations
Future service recommendations relating to police services provided by nearby communities, options
for the City to either provide or contract for police service, and how to structure future contracts for
police services.
Task Force Recommendations Implementation
Task force recommendations implementation comprising analyzing the current recommendations that
were adopted by the City Council on May 24, 2017, determining which of the recommendations have
been completed, and developing a report of actionable steps to address the Task Force
recommendations.
The Center for Values-Based Initiatives (CVBI) analyzed the City’s policing services with the objective of
providing policy makers and community members information that can be used to positively inform
future policing services agreements. Specifically, the CVBI analyzed the City’s policing services
agreement with the RCSO, the levels of community satisfaction with policing services, the Ramsey
County Emergency Communication Center (RCECC) summary of the City’s policing services from 2018
through 2022, the RCSO 2023 budget estimate, the current policing services provided in nearby
communities, and the options for the City to either provide its own, or contract for, policing services.

Project Title: Increasing Police Trust Through Normative Alignment
Description of Project
I examined the challenges that police encounter in building public trust. An action research design utilized
community engagement in two U.S. communities to discern the values and behaviors that generate trust
in the police and to explore how those values may be integrated into policing policies and processes. While
there is general agreement that compliance emanates from the practice of the principles of procedural
justice which are interrelated with trust, normative alignment, and legitimacy, it has proven to be to more
difficult to test, translate, and embed these ideas in police organizations.
With these factors in mind, I tested a process to increase trust and normative alignment between the
community and police and to answer the primary question: How can police trust and legitimacy be
increased? I conducted four phases of qualitative research and document analysis to determine which
values community members desire in police officers, how police organizations can align their values with
the community’s values, how to select police officers who possess the community’s values, and how police
organizations can reinforce the community’s values in their officers.

This project will improve operational effectiveness through dedicated space for employees who are
nursing, as well as wellness rooms for all employees. This aligns with our commitment to employee
health, safety and wellness.
Background
With the transition of Community Development staff from the 1902 building to City Hall, our existing
wellness room was converted to accommodate additional staff. A dedicated room to support
employee health and space for breastfeeding parents is a requirement under Minnesota law. Earlier
this summer, our facility management team requested local construction quotes and heard back
from two interested firms. Of those two, we have received one quote.
The total scope of the project will include the following:
Council Packet Page Number 88 of 177

o Two wellness and lactation rooms (one at 1902 and one at City Hall)
o The City Hall project will include construction of two spaces which will be
approximately 100 square feet each. One to be used as a lactation/wellness room
and the other space will be designated for future office needs of the finance
department.
o The existing location is next to the finance department.
The total project cost will be not to exceed $80,000 which will include two wellness and
rooms, one fully enclosed office space, updated duct work and electrical work, as well as
furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF/E) for all three spaces.
Our Wellness Committee will be responsible for finalizing furniture, fixtures, and equipment
needed for both wellness rooms.
In addition, the total cost includes approximately $5,500 for secure storage needed for
financial records in the City Hall basement.
The project will be completed in early November, 2024.
Funds for the project will come from our CIP Building Project funds. The City will award the
project to RJ Marco with subcontractor work being negotiated to assist with electrical,
fencing and duct work. FF/E will be determined by our Wellness Committee within the
approved budget.

Assessments are one of the funding sourcesutilizedfor the2024 Maplewood Street Improvement
project. These street and utility improvements continue the City’s investment into improving the
condition of the municipal infrastructure throughout the City.
Background:
There are a total of 251 assessable residential and commercial properties within the project area.
An independent appraisal firm was hired to ascertain an opinion of special benefit received by
properties within the project area. The appraisal report confirmed that the proposed assessments
stated in the pending assessment roll exhibit are reasonable and that the assessed properties
benefit by at least the amount of their assessment.
Residential
o Pavement Rehabilitation Single Family Unit Rate = $3,450.00
o Pavement Rehabilitation Single Family Unit Rate Corner Lot (only 1 street frontage
improved) = $3,200.00
o Full Reconstruction Single Family Unit Rate = $6,600.00
o Full Reconstruction Single Family Unit Rate Corner lot (only 1 street frontage
improved) = $5,900.00
Commercial/Multifamily
o Subject to benefits appraisal report
An informational meeting was held for residents prior to the Assessment Hearing to answer
questions pertaining to assessments, improvements and processes. Prior to the informational
meeting, the results of the special benefit appraisal were received and residents were informed of
the final assessment amount by mail.
As of the writing of this report, staff have received no objections to the proposed assessments.
Objections will be received in writing up to and as part of the assessment hearing on September 23,
2024. Once the assessment hearing is closed, no further objections will be considered and staff will
proceed with recommendation on objections received.
Budget Information
The total project construction cost is $ $8,636,221.30. The contract was awarded to Forest Lake
Contracting by the City Council on May 13, 2024. Forest Lake Contracting was the lowest
responsible bidder. See the table below for estimated project cost recovery.

The assessment amountsshown in the attached pending assessment roll exhibit are based on the
appraisal report completed by an independent appraiser. Based on the appraisal report, the total
assessment amount was found to be $1,523,653. This is roughly $55,931 lower than the
preliminary amount of $1,579,584. The change in amounts is largely attributed to a reduction of
assessment amounts for some commercial properties located along Maplewood Drive as
recommended by the appraisal report. It is anticipated the reduction in assessment funding will be
covered by the project’s 10% contingencies that are built into the above funding plan.
The project costs and current funding plan have been reviewed by the Finance Director. A final
budget adjustment will be made based on final construction costs after construction is complete.
Budget adjustments are not recommended at this time.

AGENDA ITEM: Sign Variance Denial Resolution, Mister Car Wash, 3050 White Bear
Avenue North
Action Requested: MotionDiscussion Public Hearing
Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation
Policy Issue:
Mister Car Wash requests variances for proposed signs on the subject property that exceed
the maximum allowed signage outlined in the city’s sign ordinance. Overall, the applicant proposes
to install 20 individual signs on the site. Of the 20 proposed, 13 comply with ordinance
requirements. For the remaining seven signs, the applicant seeks the following variances:
Number of Wall Signs. The applicant proposes six wall signs. The ordinance permits one
wall sign per street frontage. This property has two street frontages, so two wall signs are
permitted. The applicant seeks additional signs than what the ordinance permits.
Directional Signage that Exceeds Size Maximums. The applicant also proposes
variances for three directional signs above the canopy entering the car wash that exceed
ordinance size requirements. The ordinance permits directional signage up to six square
feet in size. The applicant is proposing a variance to permit these three directional signs on
the canopy to be seven and ten square feet in size.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve a resolution denying a sign variance request for Mister Car Wash, located at
3050 White Bear Avenue North.
Fiscal Impact:
Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $ 0.00

The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on July 25, 2024. The initial 60-day review
deadline for a decision was September 23, 2024. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the
city can take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review. The city sent the applicant
a letter extending the review deadline to November 22, 2024.
Background:
Mister Car Wash requests approval of sign variances to allow signs that exceed the maximum
permitted number and size on the property at 3050 White Bear Avenue. The city approved a
conditional use permit and the design plans for a car wash to be constructed on the property on
February 26, 2024, which is currently under construction.
The property can have up to two wall and two freestanding signs, which require sign permits.
Additionally, the property can have directional signs that do not require sign permits (exempt),
provided they are under six square feet and six feet tall. Tidal Wave Car Wash, on the corner of
White Bear Avenue and County Road C, has similar directional signs for entering the car wash, and
these signs are limited to six square feet.
The applicant is proposing the following:
Two freestanding monument signs and nine directional signs. The monument signs and
directional signs meet ordinance requirements for height and size.
o A variance is not required for these signs.
Six wall signs on the building. The wall signs exceed the maximum number of signs (two are
permitted). Each individual sign meets the maximum size allowed – 80 square feet.
o To meet city requirements, the applicant would need to reduce the amount of wall
signs to two.
Three directional canopy signs. The canopy signs exceed the size permitted for a directional
sign (exempt from permitting if under six square feet) and are shown to be 7.78 square feet
and 9.63 square feet.
o To meet city requirements, the applicant would need to reduce the size of the
directional canopy signs to six square feet.
Sign Variance
State statute allows variances to be approved when the proposal is in harmony with city goals and
policies outlined in the comprehensive plan and official controls and when practical difficulties exist.
The practical difficulty standard outlines three factors cities must consider on a variance request:
reasonableness, uniqueness, and essential character.
1.Reasonableness – When the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable
manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance.
2.Uniqueness – When the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not created by the landowner.
3.Essential Character – When the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of
the locality.
Council Packet Page Number 112 of 177

Summary
City staff has reviewed the application and finds the request is not in harmony with city goals and
policies outlined in the comprehensive plan and official controls and does not meet the practical
difficulties standard that must apply. The applicant has not provided a reasonable justification for
the sign variance request, and the existing circumstances are not unique to this property and were
created by the owner.
The applicant can have the desired number of directional canopy signs if the proposed signs are
reduced to sizes meeting the ordinance requirements. The applicant is proposing two additional
wall signs and two logos exceeding what the ordinance allows. Because the applicant has a corner
lot, the ordinance already allows the applicant to have one additional wall sign than its neighboring
properties are permitted. Additionally, all proposed wall signs exceed the ordinance’s size
requirements, and the applicant has not provided sufficient justification for why variances should be
granted.
The applicant’s proposal far exceeds the permitted signage for commercial properties in this zoning
district.
2017 Sign Variance Request – 3070 White Bear Avenue
In 2017, the property directly to the north of the applicant’s property requested a sign variance to
allow two additional wall signs in addition to the one wall sign the ordinance allows. The city council
denied this request at its November 13, 2017 meeting.

Ordinance Regulations
Secs. 44-738. Permanent Signs in Non-Residential Districts – BC (business commercial) Wall
Signs and Freestanding Signs.
For each occupant of a building, one wall sign is allowed for each street upon which the
property has frontage.
The total size of all wall signage for single-tenant buildings is determined by the gross
square footage of the principal structure on the property. The total coverage area of each
wall sign, including each differentiated business, shall be based on the wall surface to which
the sign is attached.
o Principal Structure Gross Square Feet of Floor Area: Less than 10,000 sq. ft.
o Maximum Size and Coverage Area of Each Sign: 80 sq. ft. or 20% of wall face,
whichever is less
A wall sign may be attached to an overhanging awning or canopy, instead of the façade of
the building, as long as the wall sign does not exceed 50 percent of the face of the awning
or canopy, or the maximum size specified above, whichever is less.
One freestanding sign is permitted for each street upon which the property has frontage. For
properties with multiple street frontages, each additional freestanding sign must be located
on a different street and each sign must be separated by more than 100 feet measured in a
straight line between signs, excluding auto dealerships.
The total size and maximum height of each freestanding sign is determined by the street
classification (as designated in the Maplewood Comprehensive Plan) of the closest street to
which each freestanding sign is located. In the case of signs located at an intersection, the
higher-ranking street classification should be used to determine the maximum height and
size allowable for a freestanding sign.
o White Bear Avenue, Minor Arterial: maximum size - 140 sq. ft., maximum height
(pylon sign) -20 ft., maximum height (monument sign) -12 ft.
o Woodlynn Avenue, Minor Collector: maximum size -100 sq. ft., maximum height

RE: Mister Car Wash – 3050 White Bear Ave Maplewood, MN
Mister Car Wash seeks variance approval to install their standard sign package at this location. The
sign package contains 10 wall signs on the main building, 3 signs on the façade of the canopy for lane
designation, 2 freestanding signs, and 8 directional signs. Maplewood’s zoning regulation 44-742(d)(2) limits
the number of wall signs to 1 per street frontage and the table restricts the size of each of those signs to the
lesser of 80 sq. ft. or 20% of the wall face.
The proposed wall signs on the building are important for brand identification and wayfinding. They
are proposed at the proper size and quantity for the building and the number of ingress/egress points to the
site motorists can utilize. To limit the number and quantity of the wall signs to the 1 per street frontage (2
total) would not allow for proper wayfinding for the parcel. This is not a standard retail business model
where the customer comes to the location, parks his/her car, and goes inside to shop. It is a high traffic stay
in your car-type business model where quick wayfinding and decision-making are essential to public safety.
The 3 signs proposed on the canopy (also considered wall signs) are essential to the operation and
wayfinding on the site. They provide necessary lane identification for customers based upon their level of
service (unlimited member vs. cash customer) needed. It is designed in the proper size and scale to be quickly
legible so that they can decide which lane to choose. The code would allow for these signs as directional
signs however it limits these signs to 6 sq. ft. They cannot be that small based on the design of the sign.
They are individual channel letters and to reduce the font size any smaller would not allow the led
illumination source to be installed in the individual letters.
Variance Standards
Reasonableness: The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner. A car wash is a
reasonable use of the property. Mister Car Wash operated nearly 500 locations throughout the country and
does so in a safe and efficient manner. The proposed signs are essential to the site being run in a safe and
reasonable manner. The city’s code does allow for additional signage on gas station canopies for brand
identification. These signs would be similar to that with the exception that the Mister canopy signs provide
essential wayfinding.
Uniqueness: The property does possess a level of uniqueness since it is on a hard corner with a divided
road on the frontage. It has overhead power lines on the North end and ingress/egress access from an
adjoining parcel. The site lacks adequate access from the public based upon the traffic flow. It is important
to have these Mister signs on the building in multiple locations to add to the visibility of the site.
Essential Character: The essential character of the locality will not be altered, nor will it be out of scale, out
of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area. The businesses on the W side of White Bear
have multiple building signs for their location. This location, although zoned differently, will be of similar
character to those sites. The character of the area is essentially the same.

Attachment 5
Harmony with the Intent of the Zoning Ordinance: The ordinance allows for relief from the zoning
requirements when it is uniquely warranted. The request for the signs is uniquely warranted in that a code
compliant package would result in significantly reduced wayfinding for site and a public safety hazard.
Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The requested relief is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The signs proposed allow for the sign to be quickly identified and wayfinding to be quickly established. The
signs aid operations in such manner by maintaining the necessary traffic flows in and around the site.
Sincerely,
Garry Potts, Owner Agent

The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on August 7, 2024. The initial 60-day review
deadline for a decision is October 6, 2024. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is
allowed to take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review.
Background:
On May 14, 2007, the city council approved a planned unit development for the St. Paul’s Priory,
which included the following on the overall 31-acre Priory site:
The 40-unit Century Trails Senior Housing apartments by CommonBond Communities.
The 50-unit Trails Edge Town Houses by CommonBond Communities.
The new monastery on the north side of the property.
Council Packet Page Number 148 of 177

The conversion of the former monastery building into the Tubman shelter facility.
Harriet Tubman Center East currently provides services surrounding safety planning; a 24/7 crisis
and resource helpline; emergency domestic violence shelter for 90 people; 12 units of transitional
housing for youth who have experienced violence, trafficking, and/or homelessness; legal services
including orders for protection and attorney representation; mental and chemical health
assessment; parenting education and respite child care; youth outreach and mobile case
management; job readiness and financial education; support groups; community education; and
professional training for service providers.
Conditional Use Permit Request
Exterior Dog Run
The applicant proposes expanding its programming to include space for pets of individuals staying
in its domestic violence shelter. The applicant proposes providing six outdoor dog runs for residents'
pets. Each run will be 4’ wide x 20’ long, with opaque fencing between each run. The runs will be
located on the northwest side of the facility. Pet owners or staff will be with the pets while using the
outdoor space. The applicant is also remodeling space inside the building for the pets to be kept
and for the owners to spend time with them.
Expanded Use of Commercial Kitchen
In late 2023, the applicant completed a feasibility study to determine the best use of its existing but
dormant 7,600-square-foot commercial kitchen space. The study determined that this space should
be used to prepare meals for those experiencing homelessness and to create a small contract
manufacturing site for home-based entrepreneurs seeking to move from at-home production to a
larger kitchen area. The applicant is calling its kitchen space the Tubman Food Innovation Center.
The applicant intends to partner with Involve MN, a nonprofit organization focused on unhoused,
unsheltered, and chronically homeless individuals in the greater Minneapolis and St. Paul area. The
Tubman facility will allow Involve MN to grow its meal operations to more than 12,000 meals per
week. Involve MN will also be the primary food service for on-site Tubman programs. The meal
preparations will occur on weekdays between 5 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and outreach and delivery
activities will occur until 6 p.m. Up to 12 employees will be on-site, with three meal delivery vehicles
leaving and returning to the site. There is expected to be one supply delivery per week as well.
Use of the commercial kitchen is also proposed for a small co-manufacturing site for up to fifty-five
monthly production shifts. The applicant anticipates that up to 20 food businesses will use the
facility, most with bi-monthly production runs. The applicant estimates that no more than eight
additional vehicles will visit the Tubman site daily. Because facility users will bring their supplies
when they come to the site, there will be limited delivery vehicles.
To support food preparation and manufacturing, the applicant anticipates increasing garbage and
refuse pick-up from two days to three days a week.
Commission Review

Background:
On September 9, 2024, the City Council of the City of Maplewood met to discuss the Purple Line
Project Î White Bear Avenue Alignment. During that discussion, members of the Council discussed
the costs, benefits, and trade-offs associated with the project. The City Council identified concerns
with the removal of one lane of traffic in each direction (northbound and southbound) along White
Bear Avenue which would result in changing traffic patterns that would negatively impact ease of
vehicle travel, negatively impact business owners along the corridor, and restrict vehicle
movements with the elimination of left-hand turns throughout much of the corridor.
White Bear Avenue is the premier commercial/services corridor in the City of Maplewood and the
impacts associated with the project exceed the noted benefits of a fixed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).
At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare a series of resolutions that would:
Support Flexible Public Transportation and Transportation Alternatives in the City of
Maplewood
Rescind Support for the Purple Line Project along the Bruce Vento Trail (Locally Preferred
Alternative)
Rescind Support for the Purple Line Project along White Bear Avenue (Alternative
Alignment)

RE: Purple Line Project Update MemoResponse to 9/9 Maplewood
City Council Workshop with Key Points of Clarification
th
In light of recent news articles following the September 9Maplewood City Council workshop, the project
team felt it was important to share agency partner statements and clarify some of the workshop
discussion points to correctly inform future decision making on the project.The workshop touched on a
number of alternative approaches to providing transit service in the City and incorrectly characterized
aspects and potential impacts of the Purple Line project including:
Post-pandemic transit usage
Bus Rapid Transit as a trending mode
Purple Line BRT Project
Arterial BRT service
Autonomous vehicles
Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County Statements
Purple Line project partners, the Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County, are strongly committed to
providing high-capacity transit services to this portion of the region -particularly for those who are
th
dependent on transit and issued the following statements in response to the September 9Maplewood

Ramsey County Statement:"Ramsey County is dedicated to ensuring the voices of our residents,
especially those with limited transit options, are central to advancing transformative transit projects.
These projects aim to create strong transit corridors that connect residents and businesses to essential
goods, services, healthcare, and employment, while also enhancing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists,
addressing aging infrastructure, and fostering thoughtful economic development and revitalization.

Purple Line offers fast, convenient, and reliable transit service all day, every day. Importantly, 70% of trips
along this corridor are focused outside of downtown St. Paul.
We remain committed to ensuring the voices of Ramsey County residents are heard, and their
transportation needs are not overlooked. As a transformative transit initiative, the Purple Line would
bring significant investments to the east metroan area that has not benefited from transit infrastructure
at the same level as other parts of our region. We will continue advocating for more equitable transit
options that support the future success of our communities."
Post-Pandemic Transit Usage
Change in Who is Riding Transit
Share of trips by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) riders has increased from 42% (2016) to
55% (2022) while only 29% of the regional population is BIPOC. Share of trips by riders earning less than
$25k has increased from 27% (2016) to 33% (2022). Share of trips by riders with 1 or more disabilities has
increased from 9% (2016) to 13% (2022).
Change in Why People are Riding Transit
Less people are riding transit for work-commutes. Less than half of trips are for work-commutes, and
only 20% are for 9-5 jobs. Commuter and express bus routes are carrying only 2% of rides. More people are
riding transit for other trip purposes. Trips for errands/shopping has increased from 8% (2016) to 23%
(2022). Trips for college/university has increased from 14% (2016) to 17% (2022).
Change in When People are Riding Transit
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the busiest, but Saturdays have grown to 73% of the average weekday.
Morning and afternoon rush are less peaky and longer with 3pm weekdays being the busiest hour.
Fast, Reliable, High Frequency, All-Day Service is Driving Transit Growth
Ridership, regionally and nationwide, has been steadily growing since the end of the pandemic. Regional
ridership increased by 17% to 45.9 million rides in 2022 and by 16% to 53.3 million rides in 2023. The
METRO system, currently five BRT lines and two light rail lines, now represent 46% of all rides. Post-
pandemic people are seeking bi-directional, seven days a week, all day, high frequency transit service
serving all trip purposes. Year to date, ridership growth on four of the BRT lines is 18.8% over 2023 while
overall bus and system ridership growth is 8.9% and 8.5%, respectively.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a trending mode
-growing transit mode
(317 miles of new BRT lines have opened since 2016). According to a recent American Public Transit
Association survey, approximately 75% of BRT lines in the United States have some type of dedicated bus
lanes (center or side running). Of the 57 transit projects currently in the federal Capital Investment Grants
program, 37 are dedicated bus rapid transit projects.
BRT projects with dedicated bus lanes are more expensive than arterial BRT projects because they tend
to include a broader range of roadway and pedestrian improvements not included in arterial BRT
projects. Integrating transit, roadway and pedestrian improvements into a single project reduces the local
tax burden by leveraging federal transit dollars for non-transit elements and consolidates the number of
projects disrupting an area with construction.
Ћ
For the permanent record:
Meeting Date: 9/23/2024
Agenda Item J3, Additional Attachment 2
Corridor context is important in selecting BRT type. Arterial BRT lines replace existing high ridership local
routes experiencing speed and reliability challenges from operating in congested corridors. Highway BRT
lines connect regional centers that are near highways. Dedicated BRT lines connect dense employment
and population centers with greater flexibility than light rail. Like light rail, dedicated BRT lines are
intended to be transformative for the corridor they are in. Also like light rail, as dedicated BRT design and
engineering progresses so does station area planning focused on identifying a community vision for
redevelopment and safe access to stations as pedestrians and bicyclists.
Purple Line BRT Project
Long History of Planning but Not an Outdated Solution
In 1992, Ramsey County purchased the former freight rail right-of-way and designated it as a regional
recreational trail with potential future use as a light rail transit line. Transit planning for the corridor was
initiated 26 years ago (1998) to explore a fixed rail improvement. The initial transit corridor was 80 miles
long from downtown St. Paul to Hinckley with a focus on heavy and light rail transit modes. By 2014, the
corridor had been shortened to 25 miles between downtown St. Paul and Forest Lake with a focus on light
rail and bus rapid transit modes. Only by the spring 2017 was there a policy level recommendation for a
dedicated bus rapid transit project between downtown St. Paul and downtown White Bear Lake over a
light rail transit project. There has been a strong commitment to community outreach and engagement
throughout this long history by both Ramsey County and Metropolitan Council.
Funding Transferability
The estimated $445 million capital cost for Purple Line is anticipated to be funded by Ramsey County
(51%) and through the federal Capital Investment Grants Program (49%). Those funds are not transferable
to fund other forms of transit, including arterial BRT and Metro micro.
Prioritizing Transit thru a Dedicated Lane
The March 22, 2023, letter from Ramsey County to the City of Maplewood clearly stated
right-of-way consistent with our All-Abilities Transportation Network which prioritizes pedestrians,
bicycles, and transit before automobiles. This dedicated corridor will result in the conversion of one lane
in each direction to a dedicated bus lane After the letter was read into the record as part of the March
22, 2023, Maplewood hosted Purple Line Engagement Workshop, Maplewood City Councilmembers
expressed excitement and optimism.
Environmental Sustainability
Through a reduction in automobile vehicle miles traveled (1.5 million annually) and replacement of diesel
buses (current local routes) with electric buses (Purple Line), the project would improve human health,
safety, energy, and environment in the corridor through less emissions of air quality pollutants.
White Bear Avenue Corridor
Through a survey administered this summer, over 1,300 respondents indicated a strong preference (over
70%) for Purple Line operating in the White Bear Avenue corridor over being collocated with the Bruce
Vento Regional Trail. As the basis for their preference, most respondents mentioned preserving the Bruce
Vento Regional Trail, north of Maryland, as it is today or to the greater access to essentials and
opportunities in the White Bear Avenue corridor.

Agenda Item J3, Additional Attachment 2
Purple Line, between Downtown Saint Paul and Maplewoods North End along the White Bear Avenue
Corridor, is estimated to serve over 80,000 jobs and 5,600 people/square mile within a half-mile of project
stations. The total population within 1-mile of the Purple Line route is just over 75,000.
The corridor as compared to Ramsey County as a whole:
About 60% of the population is Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, compared to 40%
About 20% of the population is below the federal poverty threshold, compared to 13%.
About 17% of households do not own a vehicle, compared to 10%.
About 13% of the population has a disability, compared to 12%.
Driveways
nd
The August 6, 2024,
discussed changes to property access resulting from White Bear Avenue design concepts. There appears
to be some confusion that these changes would remove all driveway access to businesses. To clarify,
there are 52 business driveways along White Bear Avenue in Maplewood today. Left turns are already
prohibited at 19 of those 52 driveways; however, traffic can turn right into those properties and can turn
right exiting those properties. The Side-Running Bus Lane Concept would create a similar condition at the
remaining 33 of the 52 business properties; the Center Running Bus Lane Concept would create that
condition at 30 of the remaining 33 driveways. Again, these conditions reflect only a high level of
conceptual engineering (1% level of design); access will be considered further as design progresses.
Traffic
Traffic analysis conducted for the White Bear Avenue design concepts did indicate some increased delay
at intersections during the afternoon peak hour. However, the characterization that there would be
ad D is incorrect. The traffic operations analysis
for both design concepts indicated typical urban/suburban traffic delays in the afternoon peak hour at all
intersections in the Maplewood segment with the exception of the White Bear Avenue/County Road C
intersection under the Center Running Bus Lane Concept. Neither concept is expected to result in
congested conditions during the remainder of the day. If emergency vehicles encounter congested
conditions at any time, they can use the bus lanes, with or without sirens.
Arterial Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Lines
Arterial BRT lines are part of the , which also includes highway BRT lines and
dedicated BRT lines. By 2030, a planned 165-mile bus rapid transit network of 12 lines will offer fast,
frequent, all-day service to many communities in the region. BRT ridership stayed strong during the
pandemic and is recovering faster than other service types, reflecting a rising demand for all-day, all-
purpose service.
All forms of BRT provide fast service through off-board fare collection, transit signal priority, and station
spacing. In contrast to arterial BRT lines, dedicated BRT lines include other speed enhancing features,
such as fewer stations per mile (i.e., stations every ½ mile or greater compared to every ¼ to ½ mile),
additional speed and reliability features, such as more bus lanes particularly important during periods of
congestion due to special events, traffic incidents, and weather, and speed and convenience enhancing
features, such as 10-inch-high platforms for near level boarding with mobility devices (e.g., wheelchairs,
walkers, strollers).

through the end of 2027). The North Minneapolis micro zone, which is anticipated to be made permanent
in October 2024, is approximately 5 square miles with a 1.25-mile radius and anchored to C and D lines.
Each planned Metro micro zone will be anchored to an existing or future METRO line (light rail transit
LRT or bus rapid transit BRT) and served by five vehicles at an estimated cost of $1.0 1.5 million
annually. The first two new zones to be implemented are in the Roseville and Woodbury areas in late
2024 anchored at Rosedale Transit Center on the A Line and Queens Drive Station on Gold Line,
respectively. The Roseville and Woodbury zones are each approximately 12 square miles with a 2.0-mile
radius. The zones for the other six areas are not yet defined, including one serving parts of Maplewood,
Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi, which would be anchored by Maplewood Mall Transit
Center on the Purple Line.
During the September 11 Metropolitan Council meeting, there was discussion of the Network Now
Concept Plan which includes planned investments across our region in micro transit service. During that
discussion, Councilmembers discussed the micro transit project expansion areas included in the draft
concept plan and need to prioritize implementation when considering present and future resources. They
also reinforced the important role that micro transit will play within our regional transit system, while also
recognizing its success is ultimately predicated on the direct connections into and broader expansion of
our regional transit network comprised of METRO lines and local bus services. Micro transit is intended to
serve as a "last mile" connector service into and from these frequent, all day transit routes that comprise
the backbone of a successful regional transit network. It is not being designed as a standalone transit
service. Furthermore, the frequent, all-day services are proving to be the most successful parts of our
system in the post-pandemic years, with significant opportunities for additional growth in the years
ahead as the system expands and provides far more connections across the region. Therefore, if or when
implementation plans across the regional transit network change, the Council is likely to simultaneously
reevaluate its micro transit priorities and timelines to ensure that every resource is being spent as
thoughtfully and as effectively as possible to maximize resident access into frequent, all-day transit
services across the Metro Transit network.
Autonomous Vehicles
MnDOT has participated in three autonomous shuttle vehicle pilots White Bear Lake (Bear Tracks),
Rochester (Med City Mover) and Grand Rapids, and a fourth in Eden Prairie is sponsored by SouthWest
Transit. In all cases, the pilots are not fully automated because they have a person attending the vehicle
at all times.
with 6-10 passenger, low speed (10-12 mph) vehicles. These pilots have identified challenges with
operating in winter driving conditions and low speeds have frustrated other drivers, prompting some
potentially dangerous driving behaviors. Fully autonomous vehicles are not generally anticipated until
2035 at the earliest when programming and infrastructure can better support fully autonomous vehicles.

Dear Maplewood City Council,
On behalf of Hmong American Partnership(HAP), we are writing to express our strong support for the
advancement of the Purple Line. This public transportation initiative stands to benefit the communities that rely on
affordable, reliable transit options. Withdrawing support for the Purple Line would negatively impact residents
who depend on public transportation to connect with other parts of the region and access critical resourcessuch
as employment, healthcare, and educational opportunities.
Public transit is not just a mode of transportation—it is a tool for creating opportunities, fostering community
connections, and promoting economic growth. The Purple Line offers the potential to create hundreds of jobs,
boost local businesses by increasing foot traffic in commercial areas, and drive long-term economic development
across Maplewood.
The Purple Line would enhance social equity and inclusion. For many residents, particularly low-income families,
seniors, and individuals with disabilities, public transportation is a lifeline that provides access to employment,
essential services, and community engagement. By supporting the Purple Line, you are supporting greater mobility
and opportunity for all residents, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
At HAP, we are deeply invested in advocating for initiatives that uplift the communities we serve. The Purple Line
represents an important step toward improving the quality of life for the people of Maplewood and the
surrounding communities, and its long-term benefits will be felt throughout the region. Public transportation is
essential to improving environmental sustainability, and making our cities more livable. These are goals we should
all be working toward together.
For these reasons, we strongly urge you to continue supporting the Purple Line project. Our communities need this
crucial investment in infrastructure, and your leadership is key to ensuring that we build a more connected,
inclusive, and prosperous future for all residents.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
May yer Thao

Dear Mayor Abrams and Members of the Maplewood City Council,
As the President of Century College, I am writing to reaffirm our strong support for the Purple Line BRT project
that was planned through Maplewood, with an option to impact Century.
Even though we are disappointed, the entire College community accepted that the data was not in our favor to
have the line directly support us. However, we have long realized that to sustain our institution,we must find a
real and viable option to get our students to and from our institution. The Purple Line BRT representeda vital
transportation option for our college community anda lifeline for students across the East Metro region.
Should Maplewoodreject the remapped route that could service Century, it would significantly impact
communities beyond its borders, beyond what we can see in the present, and near term, as it will limit access
to higher education and essential services that reliable public transportation provides.
At Century College, we are proud to serve a diverse student body, with many individuals commuting from
areas outside our immediate vicinity. Approximately21% of our students reside in Saint Paul, and many others
travel from zip codes along the Purple Line corridor. Moreover, Century College provides unique programs not
offered at Saint Paul College and Minneapolis College, both of which haveaccess to transportation lines
provided by those cities. Without this opportunity, we fall short in our vision as leaders that is to create, support
and sustainopportunities for a community that welcomes access for students seekingto advance their
education and career prospects, as well as mobility to all communities to get to and from work.
I invite you to visit our campus to witness firsthand the vibrancy of our learning environment and the diverse
community of students dedicated to their education. You will see how access to reliable transportation can
empower individuals to achieve their dreams and contribute meaningfully to society.
We appreciate your commitment and hope you will consider the long-term implications. Supporting the Purple
Line BRT is a step toward ensuring that all students in our region have access to their institution of choice and
pursue higher education tobuild a brighter future.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. We look forward to your continued support of the Purple
Line BRT project.
Warm regards,
Angelia Millender, President

RE: GladstoneCrossing and Transit
Dear Mayor Abrams and Members of the Maplewood City Council,
I hope you are doingwell. Thank you for your support of affordable housing. Your dedication
in Maplewood, Gladstone Crossing, demonstratesyour
commitment to our shared vision thatall people have a home.
We are aware that youarecurrentlydeliberating onthe City of Maplewoods support for the
proposedPurple LineBus Rapid Transit(BRT)line project.We understand the complexity of a
decisionlike this and would like to make you aware of the impactwe see it having on our future
residents.
Gladstone Crossing is located close to White Bear Avenue and would be served by thisnew
transit line. Of the40 units that will serve families at the site, half will earn less than 50% of the
area's median income ($62,100 for a family of four), and half will earn less than 30% of the
area'smedian income(under $37,000a year). Our experienceandstudies show that these
familieswill be heavily dependenton public transit.Theaccessibilityandease of a BRT line, like
the PurpleLine,soclose to their homescould dramatically improve their lives.
Beacon is also creating another projectin EastSt. Paul, the Aragon, which will have 53 units of
affordablehousingthat also is in the potential impact zone of thePurpleLine.These future
residents alsostand to gain from thecreation of thePurple Line.
The futurecreation of the Purple Linie was a consideration in our choice of both sites and was
an important consideration inthe award of public funding for Gladstone. Itwould help make
transit available for families who rely on it for access to employment, goods, and services.
Once again, we appreciate your partnership in our shared mission of providing affordable
housing. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further information.
Thank you,

TO: City of Maplewood Mayor and City Council
FROM: Nelsie Yang, Councilmember
SUBJECT: Support for the Purple Line
Dear City of Maplewood Mayor Abrams and City Councilmembers,
I am disheartened to hear about the possibility that the City of Maplewood Mayor and City Council is proposing to rescind support for
the Purple Line coming to the Maplewood. Withdrawing your support will put many communities at an economic disadvantage for
generations to come and continue to inconvenience our most vulnerable communities and hold back those who are trying to build a
better life.
According to the Federal Transit Administration, today, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) -growing transit mode with 317
miles of new BRT lines opened since 2016. Additionally, the recent American Public Transit Association surveyed approximately 75%
of BRT lines in the United States have some type of dedicated bus lanes with center or side running. If the Maplewood Mayor and City
Council withdraws support, we will lose related reinvestment in the communities, leading to the loss of vibrancy in our businesses,
homes, and institutions. As Councilmember representing Saint Paul Ward 6 which neighbors Maplewood, I know you all know as
much as I do how dire it is that more investments are made onto White Bear Ave to make it safer and accessible for all, especially for
pedestrians and individuals with disabilities. If decided later on that the Purple Line will be realigned onto White Bear Ave, this is a
grand opportunity for us to hasten the much-needed conversations and improvements onto this important street connecting many
well-loved cities together.
The share of trips by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) riders has increased from 42% (2016) to 55% (2022) while only
29% of the regional population is BIPOC. The share of trips by riders with 1 or more disabilities has increased from 9% (2016) to 13%
(2022). Every day when we delay moving forward with the Purple Line, we as leaders make negative impacts onto our communities.
While the Maplewood Mayor and City Council is suggesting other transit options, you would not meet the needs of people the way
that the Purple Line would. In turn, the Maplewood Mayor and City Council would be denyingthe best transit opportunities that our
college students, people of color, those with lower incomes and those who are disabled need.
As a member of the Purple Line Corridor Management Committee and as a staunch advocate for equitable transit options that
support the future success of our communities altogether, I urge you to continue supporting and working in collaboration with the
community, fellow elected officials, Metro Transit staff, and the Met Council to bring this important transit line to reality.
Sincerely,
Nelsie Yang(she/her)
