The existing contract between Maplewood and Little Canada does not address the issue of water main maintenance. Little Canada proposes that Maplewood take responsibility for the public portion of the main. This seems appropriate since Little Canada does not charge a service charge to Maplewood accounts. In the long term Maplewood should charge these two accounts for maintenance. It seems prudent, however, to wait until rates are established with the St. Paul Water Utility. This would allow for equity.to all Maplewood customers. It is recommended that the attached contract amendment be approved. KGH ..

The Agreement was executed to be effective November 1, 1983, and W=ZFAS, this Amendment is to define the maintenance agreement and use of the utility system serving the City of Maplewood from City of Little Canada. NOW, I FORE, the parties agree to this Amendment as follows: 1. The City of Maplewood will perform all maintenance and repairs of the water mains outside of Little Canada boundaries. 2. Use of the hydrants when deemed necessary for fire protection or flushing of the system -- The City of Maplewood will notify the City of Little Canada immediately so that the City of Little Canada will be able to estimate the amount of water used and invoice the City of Maplewood accordingly. 3. Cost of water is a rate set by Council resolution with no service charge. 4. If a leak is detected in the system in the City of Maplewood, the City of Little Canada reserves the right to shut down the water main to .isolate the leak until said leak is repaired at which time Little Canada will immediately reinstate water service to the affected areas. 5. If a leak is detected, the City of Maplewood will be notified immediately to perform repairs on the water main and will then be invoiced on an estimated basis for water loss due to the break in the main.

Manager darse FROM: Public Works Administrative Assis'D tant SUBJECT: Required Budget Transfer _ DOS DATE... May 28, 1991 Introduction May year -to -date overtime pay for the street maintenance department.is over budget as overtime and part -time pay for the 19.91 budget was cut in anticipation of hiring a new. full -time i maintenance worker n 19919 Background During July 1990 the final revision of the 1991 bud et included g reductions of $12,390 and $3,,560 for overtime and part -time pay respectively for the street maintenance ('101-502-000-4011 bud et g and 101 -502- 000 - 402.0). The reduction of overtime and part -time pay.was to be accomplished by hiring a new full -time maintenance worker. The result was to be a reduction in snowplowing time and would also result in the reduction of summer help from two workers to one. However, the.new worker has not yet been hired in 1991. Subsequently during April 1991, an additional $14,440 was cut from the street maintenance budget in response to the cut in state aid payments for the first half of 1991. The $14,440 cut represented months of wages and benefits for the hiring of ,a new maintenance worker Recommendation Because additional state aid cuts are anticipated durin g 1991.and p it is unlikely that a new maintenance worker will be hired until 1992, it is recommended that a budget transfer of $15,95.0 be made from the general fund contingency account.to the street maintenance budget for overtime pa ($12,,390 to 101 - 502 - 000 -401 y 1) and part -time pay ($3,560 to 101- 502- 000 - 4020).

Y g FROM: Tom Ekstrand, Associate Planner`�� SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Revision and variances LOCATION: 2210 White Bear Avenue APPLICANT: General Advancement Corporation (GAC DATE : . May 29, 1991 SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Request General Advancement Corporation (GAC) is requesting hat the City Council g y 1. Amend the conditional use permit (CUP) for used car sales at GAC Auto Body to drop the curbing requirements. Condition 6 requires a six- inch -high continuous concrete curb five feet from the south lot line around the new pavement that is south of the building. Condition 7 requires a six-i nch - high g concrete curb around the old pavement. GAC added curb blocks instead of the required curbing. (Refer to the original site plan approved by the Council on page 8, 2. Approve a variance dropping the curbing requirement for the new pavement. City Code requires a six -inch -high, continuous concrete curb around all parking areas of twelve or more sp aces, GAC has 21 spaces on their property. There are additional spaces on the property to the south. 3. Approve a five -foot setback variance for GAO's new pavement. .City Code requires a five -foot setback. GAC has aved onto o the property to the south, owned by Mr. Zimmerman. Refer to GAC's letter on page 16. BACKGROUND The Council granted the CUP on August 14, 1989 and renewed it for one year on October 22, 1990 with the original conditions. The concrete curbing is the only unfinished item. GAC striped the lot for 21 angle parking spaces, rather than the twenty 90- degree spaces shown on the approved plan. They also paved the area south of the building GAC and Mr. Zimmerman jointly use the southerly drive. The owner of GAC said there is an easement for GAC to use the paved area on Mr. Zimmerman's land. ALTERNATIVES (from most to least restrictive) I have graphically shown the following alternatives on pages 10 - 15• 1. Deny the requests. GAC would have to remove the new paving south of the five- foot setback line and construct curbing round the newly y paved area. To sell cars, they would have to construct curbing around all paved parkin areas includin those g g on Mr . Zimmerman's land. 2. Change condition six and approve the variance to drop curbing around the new pavement, but den the change to Y g condition seven and the setback variance. GAC would have to remove the new pavement south of the five - foot setback line. To sell cars, they would have to construct curbing around the old pavement, includin g on Mr. Zimmerman's land. They would not have to curb the new pavement. 39 Change condition seven to drop the curbing around the pavement on Mr. Zimmerman's land, but deny the change to condition six and the variances. GAC would have to remove the new pavement south of the five - foot setback line and curb that side. To sell cars, the would have to construct curbing around the rest of the parking lot, except on Mr. Zimmerman's land. 40 Change condition six to drop curbing around the new p avement and approve both variances, but deny the change to condition seven. GAC would not have to make any changes unless they decide to sell cars. Then, they would have to curb the old pavement. 541 Change condition six to drop curbing around the new pavement, approve both variances and revise condition seven to require curbing around only the north and west sides of the old pavement. (This is the staff recommendation. GAC would not have to make any changes unless they decide to sell cars. Then, they would have to curb the north and west sides of the old pavement. 6. Change condition six to drop curbing around the new pavement, approve both variances and revise condition seven to drop all curbing requirements. (This is the ap request and t � pp qu he Community Design Review Board 2 recommendation. The Board, however, is also recommending removal of the fence and sodding the strip north of the parking lot.) GAC would not have to make any changes, unless the Council :approves the Board's recommendation and requires sodding and the removal of the fence. DISCUSSION Requiring curbing along the south side of the new pavement would prevent Mr. Zimmerman from parking on the gravel lot on his property. Since GAC is not using the parking on Mr. Zimmerman's land, it would not be fair to require GAC to curb this area. The City.should delay a decision on this curbing until Mr. Zimmerman's lot develops. We could then determine where the developer needs to construct curbing and paving, based on his development plan. The City should continue to require continuous concrete curbing around the west and north sides of the parking lot. The City Engineer thinks that curbing on the east side would interfere with drainage. The existing curb blocks do not meet current Code requirements or the condition of the permit. The intent of the Council was to bring this lot up to Code as much as possible in exchange for the permit to sell used cars. In exchange for dropping curbing requirements, the City should require GAC to improve the non -paved areas on the site. They should do the following: 1. Sod the strip of property north of the parking lot. 20 Sod or pave the area north of the building. If GAC paves it, they should construct curbing on the north side. RECOMMENDATIONS 19 Adopt the resolution on page 17, amending conditions 6 and 7 of the conditional use permit and adding new conditions 15 IS as follows. (I have underlined additions and crossed out deletions.) 60 The drive and parking area on the south side of the building shall be surfaced with bituminous. 1 7. Parking shall be allowed on bituminous areas only. All parking spaces shall be striped to meet City standards ( 9- foot -wide stalls for employee parking only and 9.5- 3 foot. wide stalls for public and sales stalls),, The total number of off - street parking stalls shall be subject to the approval of parking reduction authorization. The number of required parking stalls are in addition to those stalls designated for sales The.perimeter of the west and north sides of the parking areas shall have a continuous six - inch -hi g h concrete curb which shall be subject to City Staff approval. The storage area behind the buildings shall be.excluded from the requirements contained in this condition. is. Sod the strip of property north of _the parking lot. 16. Sod or pave the area north of the building. If the owner paves this area, he should construct curbing along, -the north side. 2. Adopt the resolution on page 20, waiving the curbing requirement for the newly paved area south of the building,, on the basis that: a. There is a joint parking lot with the property to the south. b. The curb is not needed for storm water runoff control. 30 Adopt the resolution on page 21, waiving the five -foot parking lot setback requirement along the south lot line, Approval is because there is a joint parking lot with the property to the south. 4 Citizen Comments REFERENCE L surveyed the 2 4 r °party ow for their c p owners within 350 o�ents on this re es feet of this .site One neighbor had no re t• There were five • curbing requirement, four were in plies. g equirement, favor of droppin g the In Favor Comment 10 it will increase t he business for this s • Y (Shau and Ping Chan area which we need 1774 Lark Avenue) 2 • If the City continually interferes with b • be no business in Ma business there ' plewood.

AGENDA REPORT TO: City Manager FROM: Finance Director AGENDA N0. 1 4r" RE: 1992-1996 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (4 VOTES) DATE: May 30, 1991 INTRODUCTION Aotion b r Counal.1 2ndorsed— - - . Rea �ot;er.�...,.... Date It i.s proposed that the 1992-1996 Capital Improvement Plan be formally adopted with two important policy changes. The first policy change is that a public works project to be constructed in 1992 must be included in the C.I.P. as a project planned for construction in 1992. If not, it will be delayed until 1993. The second policy change is that the automatic year-end budget carryovers for incomplete park development and public works projects will no longer be unlimited. Instead, the budget for projects will lapse after three years unless the Council re -authorizes the budget for the project. BACKGROUND The Capital Improvement Plan is a planning tool used to identify needed capital projects and to coordinate the timing and financing of projects. Capital projects for the Maplewood C.I.P. are defined as major equipment purchases and construction projects costing in excess of $50,000 and all park improvement projects. The 1992-1996 C.I.P. replaces the 1990-1994 C.I.P. that was approved by the Council on July 6, 1989. Projects included in the first year of the C.I.P. will be included in the Proposed 1992 Budget. This year it is proposed that the C.I.P. be formally adopted by the Council. As part of this adoption process, a strong commitment to follow the construction and financing schedule for the 1992 public works projects on pages 1-8 and 1-9 in the C.I.P. is needed. This will allow the City's engineering staff to be fully utilized and will minimize the need for consultant engineers. Also, it will facilitate Finance Department planning for the 1991 bond issue which will finance the 1992 public works projects. Consequently, a public works project to be constructed in 1992 must be included in the C.I.P. to facilitate the engineering required for the project. Projects not scheduled for 1992 in the C.I.P. will be delayed to 1993. This year it is also proposed to limit the number of years that an appropriation can be automatically carried over to the next year. Over the past several years the number of projects that have had automatic year-end budget carryovers have increased greatly. This has created extra budgeting and accounting work. To eliminate this problem, it is proposed that the automatic year-end budget carryovers for park development and public works projects be limited. The limit would be two year-end carryovers which would allow three years to complete a project that has a budget starting on January 1st. Budget carryovers beyond this period would require annual re -authorization. ACTION REQUIRED Council adoption of the. attached resolution. Since the C.I.P. is part of the Comprehensive Plan, it requires four votes for adoption. The Planning Commission reviewed the C.I.P. at its June 3rd meeting. tmc Attachment RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the 1992-1996 Capital Improvement Plan coordinates the timing and financing of major equipment purchases and construction projects, and WHEREAS, it is important to follow the construction and financing schedule for the 1992 public works projects on pages 1-8 and 1-9 in the C.I.P. in order to fully utilize the City's engineering staff and minimize the need for consultant engineers, and WHEREAS, it is prudent to limit the automatic budget carryovers for park development and public works projects to minimize the budgeting and accounting required for these projects. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the 1992-1996 C.I.P. is hereby adopted as a planning document, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the construction and financing schedule for the 1992 public works projects on pages 1-8 and 1-9 in the C.I.P. will be followed to the greatest extent possible, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the number of automatic year-end budget carryovers for park development and public works projects will be limited to two and budget carryovers beyond this will require annual re -authorization.

Traffic delays or hazards with at-grade crossings., SPECIFIC AREAS OF CONCERN Grade Crossings Some.councilmembers thought it Would be safer have LRT at a separate grade from the streets that it alignment stud is well cross. The Y proposing that the Burlington Northern .alignment would have five at -grade • are at Lar enteu g crossings in Maplewood. The p r Avenue, Ripley Avenue, Frost Ave y .Road B and Cope Avenue. The stud nue., County crossings for y does not propose any at -grade g the I-35E/Burlington Northern a g on page 7 shows the s llgnment. The map streets proposed alignments and r station locations. The Intergovernmental proposed that the Rail Au g vernmental Committee recommended Authority place a high priorityr c on providing as many grade separated roadway crossings as possible along the length of the alignment selected ,,for LRT construction, The Council asked the legal staff could ass g to investigate if the Cit .p a law to require LRT separation at y The City Attorneytold me street crossings. that the City cannot do this. I Council is against at -grade crossin s f the recommendation to g they should send this the Rall Authority. -LRT and the Pro osed Road North of Beam Avenue Maplewood had a study prepared for i • improving .the traffic flows around the Maplewood Mall. A long-term study showed anew roadg rm recommendation in the connecting Hazelwood Street and 61, north of Beam Avenue. This is Highway shown on the map on page 8. 2 This road would cross the Burlington Northern railroad right-of- way. The Council asked staff to investigate whether the City should acquire street right-of-way from Southlawn, Drive to Highway 61. The Council wanted tO know if this acquisition would prevent the need for the City to have to build a bridge for a future street. The City will probably have to construct an expensive bridge under the rail line for an east -west street north of Beam Avenue. Burlington Northern cannot abandon most of their line north of Beam Avenue because of an objection from NSP. NSP has a substation at County Road D. They claim that they need the rail line to replace their transformers every ten to fifteen years. They say that these transformers must be brought in by rail because the transformers are too heavy for trucks. It is premature for the City to start buying easements or right- of-way for this street. The exact alignment for this street is not known because there has not been any engineering work done for it. The consultant for the Mall traffic study recommended building this street at the same time as a bridge over I-694. The City should wait to acquire easements or right-of-way until we decide to build a bridge over I-694. _IRT or Other Connection to Maplewood Mall The Council asked staff to investigate the connection of LRT or some other rail to the Maplewood Mall. The four LRT alignments that the County reviewed in the Northeast Corridor study did not have a rail connection to the mall. However, in December 1990, the County's LRT planning consultant prepared a memo on this with a map showing how an LRT connection could be made to the Mall. (See the memo and map starting on page 9.) The consultant's summary in the LRT study stated that such a connection would be attractive but not cost-effective in generating ridership. This is because a line to the mall would add 1.1 to 1.4 miles of track costs without increasing the ridership to pay for these costs. It would also increase travel time for travelers passing the Mall. The County's LRT consultant thought that it would be better to serve the Mall with a transfer feeder bus service from the LRT line. RECOMMENDATIONS i. The Council should read the draft study, especially the executive summary on pages 1-9 and the findings and committee recommendations starting on page 76. The Council should then make recommendations to the County Rail Authority, particularly on at -grade crossings and a connection to the Mall. 3 2 Direct staff to include any policies on LRT, such as grade crossings and a Connection to the Mall, in the update of the City's Comprehensive Plan 39 Take no action on acquiring right-of-way for anew street north of Beam Avenue now. kr/ 1 rt mem (4.3) Attachments 1.,- Ramsey County Northeast LRT Corridor Map 2.

DATE: December 20, 1990 SUBJECT: NORTHEAST CORRIDOR ALIGNMENT STUDY LRT CONNECTION TO MAPLEWOOD MALL The LRT alignments being considered in the Northeast Corridor have-not included a direct LRT connection to Maplewood Mall. Two of the alignments, the Munger/T.H. 61 alignment and Burlington Northern (BN) alignment, could provide a direct LRT connection to Maplewood Mall. For such a connection, the suggested routingis a two-way loop connection away .from the primary alignment. Recommended Alianment (Figure 1) For a BN connection to the Mall proceeding outbound, LRT would travel from the raised BN section on a curving bridge down to grade level on the north side of Beam Avenue. LRT would cross Hazelwood Street at -grade with a station stop in front of St. John's hospital. LRT would continue along the north side of Beam crossing severalcommercial center entrances and driveways at -grade. As an alternate, there is sufficient right-of-way for LRT to operate in a widened median of Beam. However, this would require full reconstruction of Beam and a crossing of Beam at Southlawn (either at -grade or rise on a bridge) to turn into the Mall. LRT would turn north on Southlawn Drive which leads to a main entrance to Maplewood Mall. Several options exist for LRT in this area: 1. Run on the west side of Southlawn Drive with a station stop near the Mall driveway. This avoids an LRT grade.crossing of Southlawn Drive but leaves a long, unprotected walk to the front door of the Mall, 9 Attachment 5 s BUERKLE ROAD I ' 694 E i-ssa \X, COUNTY ROAD D cc cc z *% WOODLYNN W 0 0 w 2 Q p MALLEWOOD 19 LYDIA '.

Cross Southlawn Drive and run through the parking lot, stop at the west building entrance, and continue on to Southlawn Drive. This is most convenient for Mail patrons but significantly impacts traffic circulation/parking within the Mall parking lot. 3. Run. on a bridge structure to the west -entrance and, back to Southlawn. The bridge and two-level station would be relatively expensive. Continuing north, LRT would travel on Southlawn Drive extended crossing over I-694 on anew bridge as far as Buerkle Road. This extension of Southlawn Drive and freeway crossing are recommended long-term road improvements for the area. Right-of-way constraints along Southlawn and Buerkle would determine whether LRT would operate in the center or side of the streets. At -grade crossings may be needed at County Road D and Buerkle Road. LRT would travel west on Buerkle and connect back into the BN right-of-way at -grade For, the Munger/T. H. 61 alignment, LRT, would travel from the west side of T.H. 61 at -grade through the intersection at Beam Avenue and run along Beam with stops at St. John's Hospital and the Mall. To reconnect to the. primary. alignment, LRT would continue west on Buerkle Road across the BN right-of-way and through the Buerkle Road intersection to the west side of T.H. 61. The at - grade crossings through the T.H. 61 intersections at Beam and Buerkle would require significant reconstruction and traffic control/protection. The deviation would add approximately 8 to 12 at -grade crossings to these alignments. Travel Time For the BN alignment, the deviation to the Maplewood Mall adds a net 1.1 miles or 10 percent to the overall alignment for a new route. length of 12.2 miles. For the Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment, the deviation adds 1.4 miles or 13 percent to the overall alignment for a new route length of 12.1 miles. With the stops, grade -crossings, and turns, the recommended maximum LRT speed in this segment is 25 mph. For the BN alignment, the deviation adds a minimum of 4.0 minutes or, 15 percent to the overall alignment for a new route travel time of 30.4 minutes. For the Munger Trail alignment, the deviation adds at least 5.4 minutes or 21 percent to the overall alignment for a new route travel time of 30.8 minutes. In the case of the. BN alignment, one station is added at the Mall. For the Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment, additional stations are recommended at Beam/St. John's Hospital and the Mall. 11 4 - Ridership The deviation. to Maplewood Mall will cause a small decrease in ridership destined for downtown St. Paul, a small increase in ridership to the Mall, with essentially no net change to the total daily ridership of the basic alignments. The increase of 15 to 20 percent in overall alignment travel time translates into a reduction in ridership from the outer portions of the alignment of. 300 to 400 daily riders. Direct extension of LRT to Maplewood Mall may succeed in doubling the number of mall - ,destined trips compared to conventional LRT/feeder bus service to the Mall. However, the direct LRT connection adds only 300 to 400 daily riders. Thus the overall regular alignment ridership totals remain unchanged. The estimate of Mall -destined LRT ridership is based upon existing transit ridership levels to regional malls in the Twin Cities, consideration of LRT travel time advantages, and future growth in population and employment. Other Cities with LRT Contacts were made at existing LRT systems to find out how connections to regional malls are made. These contacts revealed that LRT service near malls are considered in overall route planning but direct LRT deviations from the primary alignment typically have not -been constructed. Instead, patrons walk or ride connecting buses from LRT stations to the malls. ...San Diego --The three LRT routes do not have deviations to malls. in one case, LRT runs near a mall and patrons walk from the LRT station and across the parking lot to the mall, in another case, A mall beyond walk distance is served by timed transfer feeder bus. Portland --New malls/mixed-use developments have been or will be incorporated into the LRT line including a new $27 million shopping center built adjacent to the line and a planned $100 Million regional mall to be built over the line. LRT runs within 400 feet of a major downtown mall; the mall didn't want direct connection. Los Angeles --The recently opened 22 mile Blue Line runs from L.A. to Long Beach. There are no direct connections into malls. At nearby malls, connections are made by regular bus routes. Calgary --The main goal of the LRT system is to serve the downtown commuter to control peak -hour congestion and to limit the number of parking spaces needed downtown. A mall connection is seen as an added bonus if it doesn't endanger the primary goal. several malls are one to three blocks away from LRT. '12 Sacramento --Total ridership, capital are all considered more important than particular trip generators. The basic regional malls. Timed -transfer buses LRT extensions will reach the malls. Summary costs and operating costs direct LRT connections to LRT lines do not reach the serve the malls. Planned An LRT connection to Maplewood Mall from BN or T.H. 61 alignment would ..provide direct LRT service to the only regional business concentration outside downtown St. Paul within the Northeast Corridor. While this would add to the attractiveness of the overall corridor, such a connection does not at this time appear to be cost-effective in terms of generating ridership. A comparison of a Burlington Northern alignment via Maplewood Mall and the other alignments is presented in Table 1 Recommendation Transit. service to Maplewood Mall can be provided either by feeder bus or LRT directly. The direct connection of LRT to the Mall can be provided from.either T.H. 61 or Burlington Northern alignments. A connection to the Mall from I -35E would be circuitous. The direct connection of LRT to Maplewood Mall will be -included in the draft alignment report as an option.

This area was identified as one of several potential corridors for the implementation of Light Rail Transit (LRT) in the Ramsey County Comprehensive Light Rail Transit Plan, ,published In 1989, The Northeast Corridor was also included in the Regional Transit Board's Regional LRT Development and Financial Plan, published in.February, 1990. In paid -1990, the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority (RCRRA) began. an LRT alignment study in the Northeast Corridor. The purpose of this study was to assess the suitabilityof specific is locations • P for LRT. The study was to provide information to assist with the selection of a preferred alignment for LRT in the Northeast Corridor. This. draft report documents the findings and recommendations of the Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study. A public hearing ..,will be held on May.23, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. at Johnson High School to receive public comment on the draft report. The Ramsey Count p Y Y Regional Railroad Authority will make its alignment decisions based on the technical information provided in the study, the `.recommendations of the advisory committees, and comments received from the public and other agencies. DESCRIPTION OF LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT 4.Light rail transit is a steel wheeled vehicle that operates on train track and is powered by overhead electrical wires. LRT is defined by the Transportation Research Board as "an urban electric railroad system characterized by its ability to operate single cars or short trains alongexclusive rights-of-way , g y at ground level, on aerial structures, in subways, or occasionally, in reserved lanes on city streets." LRT can s operate at speeds P p d that are competitive with the automobile. Train length and operating frequency can bevariedto meet passenger demand. Passengers board LRT trains at stations spaced one-half to one and one-half miles apart. Most passengers will reach stations using feeder buses or by driving an automobile to a park and ride lot. Some passengers will walk or bicycle. LRT will be integrated with the bus routes serving nearby areas to form a comprehensive public transit system that provides better coverage and frequency of transit service. Light rail transit has emerged as the preferred transit solution .for many metropolitan areas in the United States. LRT is currently operating in 12 -U.S. cities and is planned or under construction in 20 other cities including the Twin Cities. 1 �- � � � .� .^' ` • � asst• ✓:rte • �" � �~ / �ti i� 1 A1OkA COC'!�T) i t • +relwst w' � +..--0��iiiiii r�•�r..r-r.�i+ r �r�r.,.r,_r' -•�i�1 -i _r _r -f r_r.

Revitalization of the exitin,g. bus system through restructuring of transit service and improvements in transit service coverage and timeliness. . A decrease in foreign oil dependency and improvements in air quality through reduced gasoline consumption. A. stronger transportation system that will enhance the economic competitiveness of the region by making it more ,= attractive to new businesses and visitors. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION An extensive community participation program was an integral part of the study.. Public involvement included: The Intergovernmental Committee, consisting of elected and • appointed representatives `of affected cities and agencies, reviewed information and made recommendations onolicy issues. p The Technical Committee, consisting agency of a staff Y representatives, reviewed technical information and made recommendations on technical issues. The Northeast Corridor Task Force, consistingof citizen representatives, reviewed information and made recommendations on alignments and neighborhood issues. A public forum was held'to gather citizen input. A public hearing on the draft report will be herd on May 23 y 199 1, at 7:00 p.m. at Johnson High School. Presentations were made and meetings were held as requested. 3 ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENTS FOR LRT A wide range of possible LRT alignments was identified initially in the Northeast Corridor and evaluated on the. basis of five general criteria: Serve most of the study area Serve major trip generators Minimize route circuity and travel time Capability for high-speed transit service Have adequate right-of-way width Based on these initial criteria, four alternative LRT alignments were selected for more detailed study. These alignments are shown in Figure 2 and include: I-35E/Burlington Northern Alignment Under this alignment LRT would proceed from Cedar Street in St. Paul and follow 12th Street, the I -35E median, and Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way to White Bear Lake. t: Munger Trail/T.H. 61 Alignment Under this alignment LRT would proceed from Cedar Street in _ g St. Paul and follow 12th Street, the I -35E median, the Willard Munger Staate Trail ..the,. west 'side. of . T.H. 61 and Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way to White Bear Lake. Munger Trail/Burlington Northern Alignment Under this alignment LRT would proceed from Cedar Street in St. Paul and follow 12th Street, the 1-35E median, the Willard Munger State Trail, and Burlington Northern Railroad right-of- way to White Bear Lake. Burlington Northern Alignment Under this alignment LRT would proceed from Fourth Street in St. Paul and follow Broadway to.Prince Street or Fifth Street, under Lafayette Freeway and follow the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way to White Bear Lake. ALIGNMENT EVALUATION The four alternative LRT alignments were evaluated on the basis of the following evaluation criteria: Projected daily ridership Estimated new transit riders (impact on congestion) Travel time Estimated capital cost .

FINDINGS AND COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Of the alignments evaluated for the Northeast Corridor, the Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment and the Munger Trail/Burlington Northern alignment have less potential for successful LRT implementation. They are less feasible due to lower estimated ridership, higher capital costs, significantly more at -grade crossings, as well as right-of-way constraints. Both the I.35E/Burlington Northern alignments and the Burlington Northern alignment have greater potential for LRT. These alignments are compared as follows: -:The I-35E..alignment would carry. about 500 fewer daily riders than the Burlington Northern; but would attract a greater number of new riders from automobiles. The Burlington Northern alignment construction costs would be approximately 30 percent lower than the I -35E alignment. The I -35E alignment would provide an end-to-end trip three minutes faster than the Burlington Northern Ialignment. The Burlington Northern alignment would provide more service to St. Paul neighborhoods than the I -35E alignment and to the Maplewood Mall area. Construction of LRT in the median of I -35E requires reconstruction of the highway and acquisition of five miles of Burlington Northern right-of-way. Construction of the Burlington Northern alignment requires acquisition of ten and a.half miles of railroad right-of-way. 6 TABLE 1 —SUMMARY OF EVALUATION CRITERIA —ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT$ FOR -LRT IN THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR CRITERIA BURLINGTON NORTHERN .1-35E/ BURLINGTON NORTHERN MUNGER TRAIL/ BURLINGTON NORTHERN MUNGER TRAiL/T.H. 61 1.

Overlaps with Northwest Corridor No Yes Somewhat Somewhat Upon consideration of the study results, advisory committees made recommendations regarding a preferred` alignment. Members of the Intergovernmental Committee present .at its March 12 meeting recommended the Burlington Northern alignment as the preferred alignment. The Technical Committee and the Northeast Corridor Task Force recommended that both the I -35E and Burlington Northern alignments be considered viable options for LRT construction in the future. Continued planning on the alignments was recommended and it was recommended that the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority proceed with acquisition of the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way. SPECIAL ISSUES/IMPLEMENTATION There are several issues which will need to be addressed in more detail during preliminary design and environmental reviews of LRT in the Northeast Corridor. These issues, which are discussed in . more detail in the report, are: 10 Purchase of the Burlington Northern Right -of -Way -- Negotiations will need to be completed between the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority and the Burlington Northern for the acquisition of railroad right-of-way in � g Y order to proceed with light rail transit in this alignment. 2. Resolution of the .Downtown Connection and Coordination of. LRT Service with Other Corridors --The recommended entry to the St. Paul CBD for the Burlington. Northern alignment is via Broadway to Fourth Street in the vicinity of the r Gillette Company plant. Selection of the alignment for this connection must be coordinated with the Ramsey County South and East LRT Corridors. 1 3. Connections to the Maplewood Mall Area --Transit service to the Maplewood Mall area from the Burlington Northern. alignment could be provided either by feeder bus or a deviation in the LRT alignment. Preliminary analysis indicates feeder bus service would be more cost-effective than a rail deviation. If it is determined that a rail connection should be made, then a specific alignment should be determined and the impacts of this alignment change on the performance and cost of the Burlington Northern alignment should be reassessed. 4. Staaing or Phasing of Construction --Future studies may need to address the desirability of staging LRT construction in the Northeast Corridor as provided for in the regional LRT plan. The Intergovernmental Committee and the Northeast Corridor Task Force have recommended against staging or phasing construction. 8 5. Joint Trail and LRT Use of the Burlington Northern Right -of - Way --In 1989., the Metropolitan Council designated the abandoned Burlington Northern Railroad corridor as part of the Regional Parks and Open Space System with potential shared use with LRT. Ramsey County and the City of St. Paul are developing a trail Master Plan in coordination with County LRT planning, efforts. Joint LRT/trail use along the Burlington Northern alignment can enhance the overall value of the corridor by furthering transportation and recreational goals. 6. Schedule for Ulp ading of I -_35E --The expansion of I -35E- from six to eight lanes is included in the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Metro twenty-year plan but it is not a high priority project and funding is uncertain at this time, If funding should become available to reconstruct I -35E, LRT continues to be a feasible alternative in the I -35E alignment, and LRT has not yet been constructed along the Burlington Northern alignment, then consideration should be given to taking advantage of this opportunity to provide LRT as part of the highway reconstruction project. 7. Mitigation of Impacts on Neighborhoods "and/or Natural Resources --More detailed analysis of the potential for significant impacts on neighborhoods and natural resources will be required., as part of the Environmental Impact Statement ,_process: This process will require the identification of..- wa s to mitigate impacts, Y an significant f icant g Y g 8. Funding --At the present time, there is limited funding available for the planning and design of light rail transit. x7 There is not adequate funding at this time for the construction of LRT in any corridor, including the Northeast Corridor. The availability or lack of funds will determine the schedule for implementation of light rail in this and other corridors. COMMENTS Comments on the draft report should be made to Ms. Kathryn DeSpiegelaere, Director of LRT Planning, by May 31, 1991 at: Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority 316 Ramsey County Courthouse St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 (612) 298-5420 1 CHAPTER 1 --INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 'DESCRIPTION OF LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT Light Rail Transit (LRT) is defined b the national .TransportationY 1 Research Board as an urban electric railway system characterized by its ability to operate single cars or short trains along exclusive rights -of at g y ground level, on aerial structures, In subways, or occasionally, in reserved lanes on city streets (Figure 3). LRT operates at speeds that are competitive with the automobile and LRT is integrated with bus routes to form a comprehensive public transit system. Passengers board and alight LRT trains at stations spaced an average of one-half to one and one. -half miles apart, Most LRT passengers will reach stations usin special feeder buses g P or automobiles; others will walk or bicycle. LRT train length and operating frequency can be varied to meetassen er demand. p g d. Light, rail transit has emerged as the referred ' , g, p transit solution In numerous cities. Expansion of traditional heavy rapid rail systems such as BART in San Francisco has been limited due to the much higher capital costs. LRT by contrast operates in 12 U.S. cities and is planned for nearly20 more cities ' Twin Cities. es including .the The potential benefits of LRT for the Twin Cities include: Increases in overall transit ridership which will be achieved by offering a comfortable, reliable and fast ride fre e from traffic congestion. Revitalization of the existing bus system through restructuringof transit se g service and improvements in transit service coverage and timeliness. Reductions in peak hour traffic congestion by attracting people out -:of their automobiles. A decrease in. foreign oil dependency and improvements in air quality through reduced gasoline consumption. A stronger transportation system that will enhance the economic competitiveness of the region by making it more attractive to new businesses and visitors. We `'o RAMSEY COUNTY AND REGIONAL PLANS FOR.LRT The Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority (RCRRA) has the authority to plan, design and construct LRT in Ramsey County, The RCRRA' s goals for LRT are: To integrate a Ramsey County LRT system with other counties LRT systems,with other transit services and other transportation services in the P metro olitan area. } To reduce the need for roadway construction or expansion; to assist in relieving congestion on roadways in Ramsey County, To enhance economic development in Ramsey County. . To decrease costs of transportation services in RamseyCounty, nty. To respond to mobility needs in Ramsey County, . To reduce environmental impacts associated with the automobile in Ramsey County. l To promote financing the plannin , construction and operation g p ion of an LRT system in Ramsey County with broad-based funding to Y minimize the impact to Ramse.. Count taxpayers. y The Comprehensive .LRT - P1 an for.... Ramsey CountY, adopted in 1989, recommends four corridors(Figure 4) where-" LRT should be constructed in the next twenty years (Phase I). and additional corridors where LRT potential should be moni P tored (Phase II) . In LPhase I, the Midway Corridor from Minneapolis to St. Paul is the <hghest priority corridor. The South Corridor is the second priority. ..The Northwest and Northeast Corridor are the' third priority for construction. The Regional Transit Board's Regional LRT Plan includes g the four RCRRA corridors in its maximum 20 -year plan (Figure 5). Staging g g for the maximum 10 -year LRT regional plan prioritizes the RCRRA ,corridors in -the same order as the RCRRA Comprehensive p ive Plan. THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR The RCRRA Northeast LRT Corridor extends generally from downtown St. Paul to the north border of Ramsey County and from Rice Street to the east border of Ramsey County (Figure 6 The corridor) would provide LRT service to all or portions of the ;..communities of St. Paul, Maplewood, North S ' P t. PaulLittle ttle Canada, White Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Township and North Oaks. 12 �•. • .0 coon Modey 69 c�+s.�Pwn 65 Con ON i1M.

Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study SRF Figure 5 Maximum Regional 20 -Year LRT Plan Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study Figure 6 MMMMMMMkM% SRF Ramsey County Northeast Romsey County Rplonol ROWood Authority LRT Corridor During development of the RCRRA Comprehensive LRT Plan, several preliminary alignment alternatives -for LRT o eration in the P Northeast Corridor were proposed for study. These alignments run from downtown St. Paul to White Bear Lake in the vicinity of the White Bear Lake City Hall. In 1990, the RCRRA initiated the Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study to more fully evaluate these preliminary and other potential alignments. y The purpose of the stud was to develop • the information needed to select a specific preferred alignment for LRT. The objectives of the Northeast Corridor Alignment Study were: To identify and assess the suitability of various alternative locations for an LRT line within the Northeast Corridor which will accomplish the goals for�LRT established by the RCRRA. To select a preferred alignment for LRT. To identify additional steps toward implementation of LRT in the Northeast Corridor. The project included the development of alignment alternatives the description of alignment characteristics, the evaluation of impacts, the identification of special issues, and recommendation of ., a preferred alignment alternative. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION An extensive community participation program has been conducted to ,incorporate the views and concerns ofeo le potentially p p p Y affected by the project.The program has involved community officials and representatives as well as technical staff from numerous agencies. Figure 7 shows the components of the community participation program which are described below. All committees met regularly during the project to review information and make recommendations. Intergovernmental Committee The Intergovernmental Committee consists of elected and appointed officials from the 18 cities and one township in Ramsey county, y, adjacent counties, transportation agencies, business and civic groups and other interested groups. The role of the Intergovernmental Committee is to assist the RCRRA b reviewing g information and making recommendations to the RCRRA regarding specific LRT policy issues. 16 Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study _SRF Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authalty Figure 7 Community Participation Program PUBLIC HEARING NORTHEAST GENERAL CORRIDOR PUBLIC TASK FORCE ....... ... . .. . .......

The role of the Tusk Force is to identify neighborhood concerns associated with the Northeast Corridor, and to make recommendations to the RCRRA on. issues that relate to the Northeast Corridor. Public Forum �,'A public forum was held in July, 1990 to provide general information about the study .including potential alignments and to gather public comments. The comments received were considered in selecting alignments for further evaluation and in developing the study approach. Presentat_onsand Meetinas .Meetings and presentations were conducted as needed with interested groups including p g Metropolitan Council Regional Transit Board, Metropolitan Transit Commission, Minnesota `Department of Transportation, Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Burlington Northern Railroad, and staff from municipalities. Newsletters The RCRRA periodically publishes a newsletter. Several issues have contained information regarding the Northeast Corridor Alignment Study. The mailing list is approximately 1,000. Public Hearing A public hearing will be held at Johnson High School at 7:00 p.m. on May 23, 1991 to receive public comment on the draft report for the Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study. 18 CHAPTER 2 --ALIGNMENT EVALUATION PROCESS The process for identifyingreferred alignment a p g nment for the Northeast Corridor followed two steps In the first step,a f barge number of potential • • p alignment alternatives were identified. After reviewing basic information about each alternative,four primary alignments were selected for additional, more .detailed study,, In the second step, evaluations of the remaining alignments included patronage forecasts, cost estimates and analysis of potential impacts. SELECTING THE ALIGNMENT ALTERNATIVES Based on a review of previous studies and through the committee and community participation process, numerousnment ossible alignments g s were identified for the Northeast Corridor study area. Figures 8 and 9 show these many alignment possibilities along streets and highways as well as.railroads and trails. These alignments were screened against the following evaluation criteria: Serve most of the study area Servemajortrip generators Minimize route circuity.:and travel -time Capability for high-speed transit service Have adequate right-of-way width Alignment alternatives or segments for possible LRT operations that were considered but not recommended for further study included: Soo Line Railroad and CNW Railroad McKni ht Road --These alignments were not recommended for detailed study because they do not fully serve the corridor study area, they provide inadequate service to transit trip generators, and they have circuitous routing. I -35E North of Highway 96 --This alignment was not recommended for detailed study because it does not serve the major transit generators in the corridor. � The following alternative alignments were not recommended for detailed study.because they have inadequate right-of-way: � Arcade between East Seventh and Wheelock Parkway T.H. 61 between Wheelock Parkway and the Munger Trail T.H. 61 through Goose Lake East Seventh Street between downtown and White Bear Avenue White Bear Avenue between East Seventh and Goose Lake 19 ® v _..._- Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study �1 SRF0 ti } wnnj WOOD WMAY F� 0 3 10 -1 KTM iT.

Prosl2erity Avenue. Parkway Drive and other local streets were not recommended for detailed study because they - have narrow rights-of-way and/or because they are not capable of high-speed transit service. T.H..36 and I-494 segments were not recommended for detailed study because they require circuitous routing for full length north -south alignments and would involve expensive construction. The Miss is,sil2pi /Westminster/Soo Line Railroad segments were not recommended for detailed study because they have right-of- way constraints and slow LRT speeds. Four primary north/south alignments were selected from the remaining segments for full evaluation. These alignments showed potential for successful LRT operation because they would provide service to major trip generators (including downtown St. Paul and White Bear Lake), would provide transit access to a large population area, and would have the potential for high-speed service. Figure 10 shows the selected study alignments that are described below. I-35E/Burlington Northern Alignment LRT would operate in the median of I -35E from north of I-94 in downtown St. Paul as far as the I-694 interchange, and then follow Burlington Northern -..Railroad right-of-way from I-694 to near the White Bear Lake City Hall. Munaer_Trail/T.H. 61 Alignment I LRT would operate in the median of I -35E .from downtown St. Paul to just south of Arlington Avenue, along the Willard Munger State Trail from I -35E to T.H. 61, along the west side of T.H. 61 from - the Munger Trail to north of County Road.E, and then follow Burlington Northern right-of-way to near the White Bear Lake City Hall Munger Trail/Burlington Northern Alianment LRT would operate in the median of I -35E from downtown St. Paul to just south of, Arlington Avenue, along the Willard Munger State Trail from I -35E to Burlington Northern right-of-way north of Frost Avenue, and then follow Burlington Northern right-of-way to near the White Bear Lake City Hall. Burlington Northern Alianment LRT would proceed from downtown St. Paul to Burlington Northern right-of-way at Seventh Street (Swede Hollow Park) and follow 1: this right-of-way to near the White Bear Lake City Hall. 22 Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study Figure 10 Northeast Corridor SRF Alignment Alternatives RaTt�y County Rp1onO1 Railroad AuMottty The specific connection of these alignments into downtown St. Paul was reserved for separate evaluation in the study. Important considerations for a downtown connection included engineering feasibility, directness of travel, traffic impacts, .r and coordination with other planned corridors. EVALUATION CRITERIA Based upon RCRRA goals for LRT along with committee and public input, criteria were selected for evaluating the alternative alignments. The evaluation criteria were designed to provide both quantative and qualitative information about each alignment. The criteria used for more detailed evaluation were: .Projected daily LRT ridership Estimated new transit riders (impact on congestion) Travel time A Estimated capital cost Estimated operating costs Right-of-way -acquisition required Economic impacts Traffic and parking impacts Pedestrian, handicapped and trail user impacts (access, safetY) Neighborhood impacts (noise, visual) Potential for other significant environmental impacts (wetlands) Compatibility with existing plans (city, park, etc.) 24 CHAPTER 3 --DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENTS The alternative LRT alignments in the Northeast Corridor can be described in terms of the proposed location of tracks operating � p g speed, proposed station locations and other physical and operating characteristics. Each alignment would also have its own particular network of bus routes feeding .patrons to LRT stations. The four alternative alignments are shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13� DOWNTOWN CONNECTIONS The Northeast Corridor will connect with other LRT corridors in downtown St. Paul,, All LRT corridors will operate along the same streets within the core Central Business District (CBD). The current CBD alignment for LRT as proposed for the Midway Corridor follows Cedar Street and East Fourth Street (Figure 14). Stations are planned between loth and 11th Streets on Cedar, between Fifth and Sixth Streets on Cedar, between Minnesota and Robert Streets on Fourth, and between Sibley and Wacouta Streets on Fourth. Some LRT corridors, including the Northeast Corridor, may be through routed (no transfer required) to provide direct service between corridors. Future operations planning will specify when and where such connections will take place. For the Northeast Corridor Alignment Study, no through routing of the potential alignments is assumed.. All trains were assumed to operate through the St. Paul CBD via Cedar and Fourth and then reverse direction. The recommended entry to the CBD for alignments operating along I -35E is via 12th Street to Cedar Street. Other paths to downtown were examined including via the Soo Line Railroad and determined not feasible at this time. For the Burlington g Northern alignment, the recommended connection is via Broadway to Fourth Street in the vicinity of the Gillette Company plant. Selection of a downtown connection for the Northeast Corridor will be coordinated with the continuing study of other LRT corridors (in particular, the St. Paul South Corridor) and highway improvement projects (such as the proposed East CBD Bypass). Local area businesses and the railroads will be involved in the process of determining a preferred alignment. 25 G. NO 9— -- -- — — — — _ - a.-- � J.

With respect to the level of existing freight service, the railroad segments include the following: 1. Vadnais Lake Twin Lake to Goose Lake .(I-35E/Burlington Northern Alignment) 2. 3 The Burlington Northern Railroad and Minnesota Commercial Railroad currently operate about four round trip freight trains per week on this 3.5 mile single track segment. Goose Laketo T.H. 61/Fourth Street (White Bear. Lakes (All alignments) The Burlington Northern Railroad and Minnesota Commercial Railroad currently operate about four round trip freight trains per week on this 1.5 mile single track segment. I-94 (St. Paul) to Beam Avenue (MaD ewood�_ Burlington Northern alignment; portion of Munger Trail/Burlington Northern alignment) This six mile segment is abandoned with track removed. Beam Avenue to Goose Lake (Burlington Northern alignment portion of Munger Trail/ Burlington Northern alignment; portion of Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment) No regular freight service operates on this three mile - single track segment. Shared use of railroad tracks by freight and LRT trains is generally not recommended for safety, reasons. However, it is possible to use the right-of-way for both freight and light rail transit on separate tracks. The acquisition of any of the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way for exclusive LRT use would have minimal or no impact on freight service. Ramsey ` County is negotiating the purchase of the abandoned Burlington Northern segment for potential recreational and/or LRT use. 30 Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study Figure 15 SRF Alignments on Railroad Romsey County Rp{Onal Railroad AUMtOtly RightmofmWays LRT ON I -35E For alignments following I -35E, LRT would operate in the freeway median. The existing I -35E six -lane freeway from I-94 to I-694 has a variable median width that is not adequate for LRT. A 5-footmedian is needed to accommodate double -track LRT and station platforms.. Adequate median width for LRT construction could only be accomplished through full highway reconstruction and moving the existing. lanes outward. This would require widening all bridges as well as interchange modifications. The expansion of I -35E from six t0 eight lanes is included in the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Metro 20 -Year .Plan, but it is not a high priority project. The proposed project would -include consideration of LRT or high occupancy vehicle lanes along I -35E. The need for additional lane capacity, major pavement maintenance or highway design standards .may warrant highway reconstruction in which case I -35E could be ,.:,� d.esigned with a wider median for LRT. I-35E/BURLINGTON NORTHERN ALIGNMENT A. description of how LRT would be constructed and would operate along this alignment is summarized as follows: Al ignment Length (a) : 11.6 Miles Stations (a): 10 Travel Time (a): 23 Minutes At -Grade Crossings (b): Signalized - 5 Other - 5 (a) From Cedar/Fifth-Sixth Streets in St* Paul to T.H. 61/Fourth Street in White Bear Lake. (b) From Cedar/12th Street in St. Paul to T.H. 61/Fourth Street in White Bear Lake. Alignment Description Proceeding from downtown St. Paul toward White Bear Lake, the LRT alignment would turn right from Cedar Street and continue along 12th Street until Jackson Street. The segment of 12th Street from Cedar to Jackson includes a parking lane and three lanes of traffic. Traffic operates one-way to the west. The proposed LRT alignment would be two-way and would be located on the north side of 12th Street. 32 The provision of LRT on 12th Street would' require the removal of Parking and one lane of traffic (Figure 16 . reserve t ) . To p he sidewalk and two traffic lanes, 12th Street would be widened on thesoutherly side (I-94 north embankment) . This may require Y qu e additional fill and/or retaining walls on the embankment. Some shortening of cross -freeway bridges may be necessary* Turns onto the cross -street bridges are currently difficult for trucks and buses; this issue would. need to be addressed in future design work.. LRT would continue 300 feet eastward on 12th Street beyond Jackson to a point across from Y p m _the I-94 off -ramp and in front of the St. Paul Ramsey Medical Center. At this location, LRT would rise up on a 1,700 foot bridge curving over 12th Street and the I -35E southbound lanes before entering the median of I -35E immediately north of University Avenue. From University Avenue, the alignment would proceed due north in the median of I -35E. In conjunction with a reconstructed freeway expanded to eight lanes, the median would be widened for LRT along with bridge widening/lengthening. A51 -foot median would allow for double -track LRT and 24. foot wide center boarding platforms at station locations17). LRT would follow I -35E for five miles to the I-694 in terchange. At this point the alignment would utilize a 4,000 foot bridge to � g pass over all interchange rampsand I-694 before entering the Burlington Northern right-of-waythe south on eastern edge of Grass- Vadnais Regional Park (Lake Vadnals) From Lake Vadnais to Goose Lakea distance of 3.5 C miles) LRT R would operate in the center of the Burlington Northern railroad right-of-way (assuming the right-of-way were ac . g Y quired) where the rail bed is generally at -grade (Figure 18) . The bridgea overEdgerton Street would require widening for double -tracks. At a point across from Goose Lake, the Burlington Northern track currently merges with the north/south Burlington Northern track from Maplewood. The LRT alignment would run through this junction n and continue for 1. g • 5 miles to the terminus point in the vicinity of the White Bear Lake City Hall and the old railroad station (between Second Street and Fourth- Street),, In this segment LRT would operate 10 to 15 feet west and parallel to T .

All stations would provide drop-off parking and feeder bus connections. Stations outside the City of St. Paul would also provide park-and-ride lots. A total of 10 LRT stations are recommended on the I -35E/ Burlington Northern alignment from the Cedar/Fifth-Sixth Street station in downtown St. Paul to the terminus station in White Bear Lake as listed in Table 2. Travel Time Total estimated time for an LRT train to travel from Cedar/Fifth- Sixth Streets in downtown St. Paul to T.H. 61/Fourth Street in White Bear Lake is 23 minutes. This travel time includes stops at all stations. LRT operating speeds on the alignment will vary from 10 to 15 mph in downtown St. Paul to 55 mph along I -35E and the Burlington Northern segment to Goose Lake. At -Grade Crossings At -grade crossings are locations where LRT would run across a roadway using tracks embedded in and level with the street. These train crossings would be protected and controlled using traffic signals if LRT is passing through a signalized intersection and with railroad -style flashing lights, bell and crossing gates at non -signalized locations. Signalized and non - signalized at -grade crossings on I-35E/Burlington Northern alignment are listed in Table 2.

Alignment Description LRT would operate from Cedar via 12th Street to I -35B in the same manner as the. I-35E/Burlington Northern. alignment. LRT would continue 1.75 miles on I -35E to.a point north of Mar land. Here Y LRT would rise on a bridge out of the freeway median, cross over the I -35E northbound lanes to the east bluff of the freeway and enter the Willard Munger Trail right-of-way at Arlington Street, The Willard Munger Trail is a state trail for hiking and non- motorized on- moatorized riding. The 10 foot wide trail is located on former Soo Line Railroad right-of-way on the original railbed which is graded for double tracks. The 1.5 mile trail segment from Arlington Street to T.H. 61 was paved in 1990. The trail elevation. changes frequently from being level with the adjacent land to being 30 to 40 feet higher or lower. To construct double -track LRT on the original railbed, a minimal amount of additional fill/retaining walls would be needed. To construct both a trail and LRT could require substantial filling , g or retaining walls on the higher and lower sections. In addition, most existing bridges along the trail would require Widening for LRT; a trail plus , LRT would require even wider bridges. Since this alignment is part of a designated state trail system and is currently used as a trail, it was assumed that LRT and a trail would share the right-of-way in this segment. At -T.H. 61, LRT would rise out of the Munger Trail on a bridge Iup to the west side of T.H. 61. LRT would run 4.5 miles along the west side of T.H. 61 to north of County Road E. LRT would be constructed at the same grade and generally immediately adjacent to the highway (Figure 20) A short new bridge would need to be constructed for LRT at the Keller Lake Outlet along with a 2,000 foot bridge over T.H. 36. Some frontage roads and driveways along T.H. 61 could be affected requiring changes in access. At T.H. 61 and Scheuneman Road in Gem Lake, LRT would curve away from T.H. 61 and down to the Burlington Northern right-of-way. LRT would continue 1.25 miles along the at -grade Burlington Northern right-of-way to Goose Lake and then proceed 1.5 miles on the west side of T.H. 61 to White Bear Lake in the same manner as the I-35E/Burlington Northern alignment.

Alignment Description This alignment would operate via I -35E and the Willard Munger Trail from downtown St. Paul the same as the Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alternative. Instead of proceeding north on T.H. 61, the alignment would continue another mile along the Munger Trail to the abandoned Burlington Northern right-of-way. Some of the raised trail sections above in this segment are 20 to 25 high abg surrounding -land. Joint trail/ LRT use here could require substantial fill with retaining walls. Connecting at -grade to the Burlington Northern east of English Street, LRT would proceed north on the Burlington Northern right- of-way for approximately four miles. Bridges would require reconstruction or replacement at Beam, CountyRoad D and I-694. After passing under T.H. 61, LRT would continue 2.75 miles to White Bear Lake using the same alignment as the Munger Trail T.H. 61 LRT alternative. 43 Stations A total of thirteen stations are recommended on this alignment. Station locations are listed in Table 4. Travel Time Total estimated travel time from White Bear Lake to downtown St. Paul via the. Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment is 26 minutes. LRT operating speeds will vary from 30 to 35 mph along the Munger Trail to 55 mph along the Burlington Northern right-of-way. At -Grade Crossings This alignment would have fifteen at -grade crossings including five at signalized intersections and ten. at other locations as listed in Table 4.

As an alternative, LRT could travel from Fourth Street, north on Broadway and east on Fifth Street (north of Gillette), Selection of a preferred connection to downtown will be coordinated with the study of the St. Paul South LRT Corridor. The alignment would continue beyond the terminus of Prince Street under Lafayette Freeway. LRT would rise on a bridge east of Lafayette. The bridge would carry LRT up and over the proposed East CBD Bypass and existing freight rail lines. LRT would then need to penetrate the fill in the abandoned Burlington Northern right-of-way placed .with reconstruction of I-94. The LRT alignment. would then pass under the existing Seventh Street bridge. 44 TABLE 4 —HUNGER TRAIL/BURLINGTON NORTHERN ALIGNMENT STATIONVATwORAIDE CROSSINGS STATION LOCATIONS SIGNALIZED AT -GRADE CROSSINGS (a) OTHER 1.

Burlington Northern/ White Bear Lake (a) Does not include crossings in core of downtown St. Paul. The former 1 railbed of the Burlington Northern right-of-way is graded for double track. The construction of LRT on raised sections or in cut sections would require a minimal amount of fill or retaining walls. To construct both LRT and a recreational trail could require substantial filling or retaining walls on the higher and lower sections. In addition, bridges would require further widening to accommodate double -track LRT plus a trail. From Seventh Street the alignment would follow the existing graded shelf section on the west side of Swede Hollow Park (see Figure 21). From Minnehaha the alignment runs in a cut section alongside Stroh's Brewery. The alignment passes under the Chicago Northwestern (CNW) Railroad mainlines and curves up and behind the brewery's grain silos turning to the east. The LRT alignment would proceed easterly under Arcade Street and run parallel and at -grade with the CNW mainlines to beyond Earl Street. At Duluth Street extended, the alignment curves to the north and rises on fill 10 to. 15 feet in height crossing over Johnson Parkway. The alignment continues due north on raised fill along the eastern edge of Phalen Keller Regional Park, returns to grade near Hoyt Avenue extended and continues at -grade to north of Frost. Bridges that may meed to be modified or replaced in the four mile segment from Seventh Street to Frost Avenue include those at Seventh Street, Johnson Parkway, Maryland Avenue and Arlington Avenue. From north of Frost Avenue, the Burlington Northern LRT alignment alternative would continue the seven miles to White Bear Lake in the same manner as the Munger Trail/Burlington Northern alignment described previously. Stations A total of fourteen stations are recommended on this alignment. Station locations are listed in Table 5. Travel Time Total estimated travel time via the Burlington Northern alignment from White Bear Lake to downtown St. Paul is 26 minutes. LRT operating speeds will vary from 35 mph in Swede Hollow Park and along Phalen Park to 55 mph in the Beam Avenue area. At -Grade Crossings The Burlington Northern LRT alignment would have thirteen at - grade crossings including two at signalized intersections and eleven at other locations as listed in Table 5. 46 normeasr co►rlaor tRT wiignment Study �■nnia SRF Figure 2 1 Swede Hollow Park TYPICAL SECTION TABLE S —BURLINGTON NORTHERN ALIGNMENT STATIONWATwGRADE CROSSINGS AT:GRADE CROSSINGS (a) STATION LOCATIONS SIGNALIZED OTHER 1.

FEEDER SUS SERVICE In the Northeast Corridor, LRT trains are expected to operate every 15 minutes during the peak hour as shown in Table 6 TABLE 6 LRT OPERATING STANDARDS IN NORTHEAST CORRIDOR Hours of Service Weekdays: 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. - Peak 6:30 a.m to 9:00 am. 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p m.

Peak 15 minutes Midday 30 minutes Evening 30.minutes Late Evening 60 minutes In order to maximize transit service along each LRT corridor, T much of the existing bus service .would be reconfigured to feed passengers directly to LRT stations. The feeder bus service would be coordinated with LRT service so that passenger transfers occur quickly. The development of feeder bus plans for the LRT alignment alternatives in the Northeast Corridor focussed primarily on route changes which would utilize LRT while maintaining or expanding today's bus route coverage and bus service frequencies. The integrated LRT and feeder bus system offers an increase in the overall level of transit service which is a key to providing continued service for existing bus patrons and also attracting additional transit ridership. LRT feeder bus service consists of local routes connecting to LRT stations as well as express routes originating in outlying communities feeding to LRT stations. Community transit services may also bring passengers to LRT stations. Finally, some parallel bus routes in the LRT service area are not redirected to stations and instead are through -routed to downtown. The Northeast Corridor feeder bus plans were developed using regionally adopted guidelines for feeder bus planning. 49 The redesign of regular route bus service to LRT feeder bus service can result in savings in service miles without a reduction in transit service levels by eliminating route overlaps. Each of the Northeast Corridor alignments produce such savings as shown in Table 7. TABLE 7 BUS MILES SAVED DUE TO LRT Daily Bus Alignment Miles Saved Percent Saved I-35E/Burlington Northern 300 6% Munger Trail/T.H. 61 3.00 4% Munger Trail/Burlington Northern 300 4% Burlington Northern 900 15% With the Burlington Northern alignment, there are many more opportunities to provide improved transit service by replacing p g existing bus.service with LRT service. M CHAPTER 4--EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENTS Each alternative LRT alignment in the Northeast Corridor was evaluated for potential impacts. Alignments. were compared and contrasted using the following evaluation criteria: Projected daily LRT ridership Estimated new transit riders (impact on congestion) Travel time Estimated capital cost Estimated operating cost Right-of-way acquisition required Economic .impacts Traffic and parking impacts Pedestrian', handicapped and trail user impacts Neighborhood impacts Potential for other significant environmental impacts Compatibility with existing plans Major findings from the analysis ' are summarized below. PROJECTED DALLY LRT RIDERSHIP LRT ridership was forecasted' for each of the alternative alignments. The forecasts are for the year 2010 and are based on several factors including existing transit ridership, pro'ected 7 changes in the level of transit service, population and employment growth, and travel time changes for LRT service. For each potential alignment a ridership service area was d defined. The. service area is the geographic area from which LRT draws most of its riders. The size of the service area is based i upon the time it would take for an LRT patron to reach the LRT stations. Patrons can reach stations by walking, using feeder buses or park-and-ride with autos. Generally, the service area extends five miles beyond the end of the LRT route and several miles on either side of the route. The boundaries of the service area are affected by barriers and constraints such as lakes and competing highways. The ridership service areas for the alignments are shown in Figures 22, 23 and 24. The I-35E/Burlin ton Northern alignment g g draws additional riders from west and northwest of I -35E. The Burlington Northern alignment draws additional riders from the eastern part of the corridor. The Munger Trail/T.H. 61 and Munger Trail/Burlington Northern alignments have similar service areas. 51 11 K HUGO LINO LAKES q*J I -X TON ORCU PINES LINO LAKES .. .......

All alternative. LRT alignments in the Northeast Corridor are anchored by the St. Paul Central Business District on the south and downtown White Bear Lake on the north. As shown in Figure 25, other major transit generators in the corridor include the Maplewood regional business center (including the Maplewood Mall, St.. John'.s hospital and other shopping and employment. centers) and the Arcade/Earl/Seventh Street area (includes Stroh's Brewery and 3M) among others. An LRT alignment should serve as many of these locations as ,aossible as well as other emerging or secondary generators such as libraries and other community facilities. The Burlington Northern alignment` provides service -to many of the existing mai or transit generators. The other alignments provide service to some of these generators. ESTIMATED CAPITAL COSTS Capital costs include all the costs of construction of LRT as well as vehicles and right-of-way. The capital cost estimates for the Northeast Corridor alignments do not include a share of central LRT maintenance and operation facility cost nor LRT construction within the St. Paul Central Business District. Both of these facilities are planned for construction. before the Northeast Corridor would be built. For alignments operating on I-35Ev it is assumed that -.the freeway will be reconstructed in conjunction with LRT much -of the highway reconstruction cost, which would be significant, is not included in the LRT estimates. 56 I . .

The cost is affected by the frequency of service and hours of operation as well as route length and LRT travel time. Total operating costs range .from $3.8,million for the Burlington Northern and Munger Trail/ T.H. 61 alignments to $4,.1 million for the I -35E Burlin ton / g Northern alignment (Table 10) . As a result of the restructuring of bus routes for feeder bus service for the LRT system, there will be a net savings in the cost of bus service. The estimated annual savings are $375,000 for the I-35E/Burlington Northern alignment, $350,000 for the Munger Trail/T.H. 61 and Munger Trail/ Burl ington Northern alignment, and $1.1 million for the Burlington Northern alignment. 58 RIG#T-OF4=WAY ACQUISITION The construction of• LRT requires dedicated property - facilities including track for LRT g k layout, stations and ark -and- lots.

Burlington--Northern-Alignment Depending p upon the selected downtown. connection and path to Fourth Street (north or south of Gillette Company), realignment of Prince Street or Fifth Street in this area may be needed. The Burlington g 'n ton Northern right-of-way on this alignment ranges from 50 0 150 feet but is rlmarily 100 feet or 1.50 feet in width. feet t p In the vicinity of Stroh's Brewery where right-of-way is 50 feet, to or relocation of some brewery equipment minor modifications may be needed including a small grain silo, a coal dump and a grain chute. TRAFFIC/PARKING IMPACTS ' in the Northeast The construction of LRT Corridor can help peak period traffic congestion on streets and highways by -, relive e p p However,at attracting people out of their automobiles* particular locations, such as at -grade crossings of roads and at stations, LRT has the potential for increasing local traffic st , congestion. Negative traffic impacts from LRT can normally be • engineering strategies such as changes in mitigated with traffic lc g g g intersection design or traffic signal timing. In this stud -Y, all at -grade crossings were examined on all (Each.ali nmentsalignment also has a number of grade -separated g crossings where LRT will not conflict with the roadway*) Future traffic levels were estimated at these intersections along with the ca acit of the roadways to handle the increases . The p Y additional effects of LRT were estimated in terms of increases in 'congestion and delays. Grade -separated crossings ngs of roadways can be constructed depending upon site-specific conditions. However, grade separation is normally warranted only when the cross -street traffic volume approaches 25,000 to 30,000 vehicles per day. 60 owntown Connections .For the alignments running on 12th Street, traffic impacts in the 12th Street area will be significant The area currently experiences severe congestion during the peak hours. Reducing the number of through lanes along with. traffic signal preemption for LRT would further worsen congestion on 12th Street and the 'cross -streets. More detailed analysis is recommended to identify the full extent of these impacts, if any of the I-3 5E alignments are selected as the preferred alternative. For. the Burlington Northern alignment, the downtown connection is not expected to produce significant traffic impacts. If LRT operates on Prince Street, parking and truck delivery access may be affected. If on Fifth Street, access. to Gillette employee parking may be affected. If on Broadway Street, the present four lanes of traffic would be reduced to two lanes with some impact on traffic flow. ' Other Im acts On the Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment, some changes in frontage road and driveway access to T.H. 61 may be needed. Affected ocatons include park entrances at Keller Lake and the area between County Roads C and E. For all alignments, traffic congestion may increase due to LRT at the T.H. 96/T.H. 61 intersection. While this,.. i intersection is :.scheduled for reconstruction as early as 1992, additional intersection improvements may be needed with LRT. -No other significant traffic or ' g parking impacts are anticipated. f When station sites are selected in future design work, a local :traffic impact study should be conducted for each station location PEDESTRIAN IMPACTS Light rail transit in the Northeast Corridor will be constructed to conform with the design guidelines of the Twin Cities LRT Coordination Plan for the regional system. These guidelines call for the "highest quality, safest and most accessible system Fpossible". Regardless of the alignment selected, any design ,practices andtechnology employed will meet all appropriate safety and engineering standards. Nonetheless, there are differences with respect to pedestrian safety and access for LRT operating in various types of right-of- way. For example, an LRT alignment operating in an exclusive right-of-way (such as a. freeway median) will not have some of the 61 .potential pedestrian or auto conflicts associated with at -grade crossin s. The type of right-of-way,9 .g yp site specific conditions , and adjacent. land uses all determine the appropriate .design to maximize pedestrian safety and access Pedestrian access from nearby streets or park-and-ride lots to the LRT station platform will vary by type of station. There are three basic types of station design. required for the alignment � g ent i alternatives n the Northeast Corridor. Two -Level Station in ,a Freewav Median Freeway stations of this type are usually constructed at interchanges. As shown in the prototype design (Figure 26), pedestrians reach the station platform in the freeway median via a walkway,, -along the cross -street bridge and then down stairs, escalators, or an elevator. All I -35E stations would have this type design. For -pedestrians, this has the least direct access of any station type. The walk is lengthy since any origin point is located outside the interchange area. The vertical distance is also significant at 20 to 35 feet. Safety at the boarding platform is greater:than at other station types since there is no pedestrian crossing of tracks. Walk distances for patrons arriving by feeder bus can be reduced if bus pull-outs are constructed on the x cross -street bridge At -Grade Station on Railroad Right -of -Way { Stations of this type are constructed at cross -streets. As shown in the prototype design (Figure 27), relatively short walking } distances make this type station generally convenient for pedestrians, • p Park-and-ride lots and feeder bus parking can be located close to the station platform. A potential hazard is pedestrian crossing of tracks. These crossings can be controlled to occur at specified locations and provided with warning lights K and alarms if needed. All at -grade stations on Burlington Northern right-of-way would have similar designs. Grade -Separated Stations on Railroad Right-of-Wa The third type of station is also on railroad right-of-way but is two-level as shown in Figure 28. Pedestrian walk distances generally are shorter but patrons must travel up or down to the station platform depending on whether the cross -street runs over or under the LRT line. Pedestrians may cross tracks depending p g upon the design as required by site conditions.. 62 Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study H Ur 26 SRF.

LRT development can be incorporated into local comprehensive planning to further community goals and objectives. LRT can be used as a tool to help revitalize areas, to generate new development, or to preserve existing stable neighborhoods. Evaluation of potential economic and land use impacts of LRT alignments in the Northeast Corridor included several basic tasks: A summary of existing land uses adjacent to the proposed alignment. A review of development trends and current and future land use strategies. Identification of the likely relationship between LRT and land uses along each alignment. 66 Existing Land Uses Existing land uses Figures 29, 30 and categories include: along each alignment Iwere documented. 31 show these land uses. The land use Residential --single and multi -family housing. Parks/Recreation--designated parkland or recreational areas including city and regional parks, golf courses, playgrounds, etc. Undeveloped --undeveloped land not designated as park or recreational areas. Includes agricultural uses. Industrial --light to heavy manufacturing warehouses. Commercial --retail and service activities; offices. Institutional --public or quasi -public uses including schools and municipal facilities; churches, etc. LRT/Land Use Strategies The description of development trends and land use strategies as well as the potential role for LRT was based upon review of local plans and discussions with communities. Generally, LRT land use strategies were classified intone of three ways: Preservation --land use planning would be directed toward preserving existing uses including stable neighborhoods..LRT is buffered from.neighborhoods through landscaping and other design compatible with the neighborhoods g T, Enhancement --land use planning would seek to enhance areas through modest changes such as new landscaping, lighting, public .art � g g , , pedestrian walkways, etc. LRT station and line construction .would be integrated into this broader planning effort. RedeveloDment/Develoument--land use planning would be aimed at encouraging revitalization of distressed areas or stimulating new development a g p roundselected stations. Public/private partnerships in station area development and construction might be sought. LRT and land use planning would be integrated into an overall strategy for significant positive changes in areas surrounding these selected LRT stations. Figures 32, 33 and 34 show future general land use strategies for each of the alignments as suggested by individual cities. These designations are intended as general indications of planning approaches and do not necessarily reflect conditions for specific parcels of property, 67 cP 4.

All alignments also have stable neighborhoods along the proposed LRT line which would require visual buffering and mitigation of neighborhood impacts. In and of itself, LRT is not likely to stimulate substantial private investment on any particular alignment in the Northeast. Corridor. LRT may, however, stimulate modest development/redevelopment especially at station sites. LRT can be an important tool, within the context of a city's overall economic development program, for generating site- specific development. It is also likely that development p within the corridor will be drawn to sites which are near LRT stations if LRT is constructed. NOISE IMPACTS An advantage of. LRT is that it is relatively quiet and unobtrusive. At particular locations, however, there may be some increases in noise from passing LRT trains as well as visual impacts from the construction of LRT facilities. Unlike a street or highway, LRT does notg enerate sustained noise levels. In the Northeast Corridor, trains will run every 15 minutes in both directions during thep eak hours. Each train "passby" lasts three to six seconds. Thus at any given location, LRT will generate noise for a total of about 48 seconds during the peak hour. In comparison, a street will generate noise most .of the t i.me . A three car LRT train traveling at 35 mph produces a noise level about the same as one automobile and less than a diesel bus as measured 50 feet from the noise source. Noise levels from LRT will be affected by topographic conditions, background noise conditions such as street traffic, distances to dwellings, LRT speed, and vehicle track design. The analysis of Y Northeast Corridor alignments focused on a select number of representative sites. For situations where LRT would operate near substantial roadway traffic, such as in the I -35E median or along T.H. 61, the additional noise from LRT would not be noticeable. However, the reconstruction of I -35E to accommodate LRT in the median could move traffic noise closer to adjacent residences. The segments of LRT alignments on abandoned or infrequently used railroad right-of-way would experience relatively higher noise levels for 74 r Ulm � is Law - Northaost Corridor LRT Alignment Study SRF Ramsey County Rpional Rairoad Aulhorily 1 L —� Co. ft E REDEVELOP/ DEVELOP ENHANCE PRESERVE Figure 34 Future Land Use / LRT Strategies County Road E to White Bear Lake 1 Tic 96 . 1 ' i f� ` � •� Y � I ff L 00 =MEMOMf ?MMEMMINK10, Co. lld.

However, LRT trains produce much less noise than the. freight trains which operated on the Burlington Northern alignment in the past. More detailed noise analysis should be conducted during future design of LRT in the Northeast Corridor, including on-site monitoring of background noise and a detailed inventory of nearby dwellings. Other related sources of noise, such as from feeder buses, station area traffic, and train or grade crossing horns or bells, should also be considered at that time. With effective noise abatement, there should be no significant noise impacts on any of the alignments. Noise abatement strategies can focus on reducing noise at the source (for example, maintenance of wheels of LRT vehicles), operating practices, and berms or noise walls. between the track and sensitive areas. VISUAL IMPACTS Design of LRT must be sensitive to the adjacent land uses. All alignments have raised sections and aerial structures where LRT will be most visible. In some.cases, landscaping can serve to buffer LRT and lessen any visual impacts. The design of LRT facilities, particularly stations, should incorporate appropriate design standards. - --- ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Each of the Northeast Corridor alignments would run adjacent to local and/or regional parks, lakes and wetlands. LRT in the Northeast Corridor offers substantial potential. for recreational trip -making to these many facilities. Recreational areas abutting alignments include the Grass-Vadnais Regional Park on the I -35E alignment, the Willard Munger Trail and Keller Lake on the Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment, the Willard Munger Trail and Phalen -Keller Regional Park on the Munger Trail/Burlington Northern alignment, Swede Hollow Park and the Phalen Keller Regional Park on the Burlington Northern alignment, and White Bear Lake for all alignments. Any potential adverse impacts upon wetlands, wildlife or vegetation would be identified during future design work. No significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated on any of the alignments except the Munger/T.H. 61 alignment where right-of-way acquisition may be required near Keller Lake. However, there may be local issues and areas of concern requiring additional investigation as part of an Environmental Impact Statement. 75 CHAPTER 5 --FINDINGS AND COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Table 12 presents a summary of the operating and ._ characteristics o . p g performance rmance f alternative LRT alignments in the Northeast Corridor. While it is technicallyfeasible to an of the construct .along Y alignments, each alignment has strengths and weaknesses. g FINDINGS Based upon the technical analysis, the Y .. Munger Trail/T.H. 61 alignment and the Munger Trail/Burlin ton Norther ' Trail/Burlington n alignment have less , potential for successful LRT implementation. Relevant considerations are: Ridership projections includingthe • number of new riders are lower than the other alignments. LRT operation on the Willard Munger State Trail i s not consistent with the adopted plan for the trail corridor orregulations governing uses in the corridor. The costs for LRT construction are relatively ' a. ely high. The number, of at -grade crossings on T.H. 61 ' g is significantly higher than other alignments. On T.H. 61 there are several locations withconstrained r ight- of -way likely to require property acquisition, The. I-35E/Burlington Northern alignment • g ent and the Burlington Northern have greater potential for successful LRT operation.

Environmental Specific Site Adjacent parklands Adjacent parklands Adjacent parklands arklands parklands Issues Problems and wetlands and wetlands and wetlands and wetlands • Right-of-way acquisition of Keller Lake The I -35E alignment has a higher cost of construction due largely to the expense of freeway LRT stations and the substantial aerial $; structures required for LRT at both ends of the . I-3 5E segment, a The traffic impacts cts of LRT operation on 12th Street 1n St. Paul may be severe and parking would be eliminated. Pedestrian access to LRT stations on the freeway may be more difficult than stations elsewhere. The alignment does not serve the Maplewood p od Mall area where continued growth is anticipated. Finally, the overall feasibility of the alignment is directly limited by the likelihood for reconstruction of I -35E. The capital costs estimates for LRT do not include most of the costs of the necessary highway reconstruction. It is assumed LRT would be constructed as part of a larger highway reconstruction and/or expansion prod ect, but the timing of this project is uncertain. Burlington Northern Alianment The Burlington Northern alignment would bring improved transit service to St. Paul neighborhoods and would also serve regional commuters. The Burlington Northern would carry more riders than any other alignment. Capital costs are 30 percent lower than any other alignment. The projected population of the area served by LRT would be the highest of the alignments. Construction along the railroad right-of-way would require relativelyminimal addit `o 1 nal sitework. The alignment could accommodate LRT as well as a trail with each serving transportation and recreational functions. The Burlington Northern is 3 minutes or 10 percent slower than the I 35E alignment with four additional stops at stations. Fewer new transit riders would be attracted compared to the I -35E alignment. In some sections, the right-of-way abuts the backyards of single family homes where more extensive bufferin g may be needed. LRT operation through and adjacent to parks and where right-of-way, narrows (50-70 feet) may require special design. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the consideration of the study results, the Intergovernmental Committee, Task Force, and Technical Committee developed recommendations regarding a preferred LRT alignment for the Northeast Corridor. The complete recommendations are included in Appendix B of the report. The members of the Intergovernmental Committee present at its March 12 meeting recommended the Burlington Northern alignment as the preferred alignment in the Northeast Corridor, The Northeast Corridor Task Force and the Technical Committee recommend further study and continued planning for LRT on both the I-35E/Burlington Northern alignment and the Burlington Northern alignment. The committees also recommend that the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority proceed with the acquisition of the Burlington Northern right-of-way. 79 8PECIAL IBSIIEB/IMPLEMENTATION There are several issues which will need to be addressed in more detail during preliminary design and environmental reviews of LRT in the Northeast Corridor. These issues are discussed briefly below: .1. Purchase of the Burl incxton Northern richt-of-way. The Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority is currently negotiating with the Burlington Northern Railroad for the acquisition of the BN railroad alignment. This negotiation will need to be satisfactorily completed to proceed with light rail transit in this alignment. 2. Resolution of the downtown connection (north or south side of Gillette) and coordination of LRT service with other corridors. The recommended entry to the CBD for the Burlington Northern alignment is via Broadway to Fourth Street in the vicinity of the Gillette Company plant. Selection of the alignment for this connection must be coordinated with the St. Paul South Corridor and the St. Paul East Corridor. It must. also be coordinated with the design of highway improvement x projects such as the proposed East CBD Bypass. Local area businesses and railroads will need to be involved in the process of determining a preferred alignment for this downtown connection. 3. Provision of a connection via rail line or bus service between the LRT line and the Maulewood Mall area. Service to the Maplewood Mall area from the BN alignment could be provided either with. feeder bus service or with a deviation in the LRT alignment. Preliminary analyses indicate that the area can be adequately served with a feeder bus system. A rail connection would add approximately one mile (four minutes in travel time) to the BN alignment, resulting in an increase in cost of at least $15 million and no significant change in ridership. If it is determined that a rail connection should be made, then a specific alignment should be determined and the impacts of this alignment change on the performance and cost of the BN alignment should be reassessed. 80 4. Staging orohasing of construction. The regional LRT plan proposes that the Northeast Corridor be constructed in two phases. The firrst .phase, proposed in the regional maximum ten-year plan, would implement LRT to I-694. The second phase, proposed in the twenty-year regional LRT plan,. would extend the LRT line from I-694 to White Bear Lake. Future studies may need to address the desirability of staging LRT construction in the corridor. The Intergovernmental Committee and the Task Force have recommended against staging or phasing construction. 5. Joint trail and LRT use of.the BN right-of-way. The LRT alignments under evaluation in the Northeast Corridor include substantial segments of railroad right -of- way that could accommodate both a recreational trail and LRT. The right-of-way width is sufficient to construct a 10 -foot hiking and bike trail and double -track LRT. In 1989, the Metropolitan Council officially designated the abandoned Burlington Northern Railroad Corridor as part of the Regional Parks and Open Space System with potential shared use with LRT. Ramsey County and the City of St. Paul are developing a trail Master Plan in coordination with County LRT planning efforts. Figure 35 provides an example of how LRT and a recreational trail can function together. Landscaping in the right-of- way can serve to buffer LRT from the trail and to buf fer both uses from adjacent.land uses. It may be desirable or necessary in some locations to construct the trail and LRT closer together or farther apart. Trail access locations and pedestrian/bicycle facilities at LRT stations should be coordinated to allow full circulation and integrated use. Joint LRT/trail use along the Burlington Northern alignment can enhance the overall value of the corridor by furthering transportation and recreational goals. A trail, as part of a regional. network, would strengthen pedestrian and bicycle access to LRT. LRT operation would improve security along the alignment. Both facilities would improve mobility between neighborhoods and increase access to parks, lakes, retail centers and work sites. 81 Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study SRF Figure 35 Joint LRT/Trail Use TYPICAL SECTION 6 . Schedule for uuarading of I-3 5E . The expansion of I -35E from six to eight lanes is included in theMinnesota Department of Transportation's metro twenty-year plan but. it is not a high priority project and funding is uncertain at this time. If funding should become available to reconstruct I -35E, LRT continues to be a feasible alternative in the I -35E alignment, and LRT has not yet been constructed along the SN alignment, then consideration should be given to taking advantage of g this opportunityto provide LRT as part of the highway reconstruction project. 7. Miti ation of im acts on neighborhoods and/or natural resources. More detailed analysis of the potential for significant impacts on neighborhoods and natural resources Will , be required as part of the Environmental Impact Statement process. This process will require the identification of ways to mitigate any significant impacts. 8. Funding At the present time, there is limited funding available for the planning and design of light rail transit. There is not adequate funding at this time for the construction of LRT in any corridor, including the Northeast Corridor. The availability or lack of funds will determine the schedule for implementation of light rail in this and other corridors. 83 APPENDIX A INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE, NORTHEAST CORRIDOR TASK FORCE AND NORTHEAST CORRIDOR TECHNICAL COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP LIST Committee Chair John T.

CORRIDOR TECHNICAL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS ONTHE .NORTHEAST CORRIDOR LRT ALIGNMENT STUDY The Intergovernmental Committee of the Ramsey, County Regional Railroad Authority, consisting of elected and appointed `representatives of affected cities and agencies, has met regularly since Judy, 1990 to review information and make recommendations on the Northeast. Corridor LRT Alignment Study for Ramsey County. A list of committee members is contained in Appendix A of this report. At its final meeting on March 12, 1991, the committee made these recommendations to be transmitted to the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority: 1. The -preferred alignment for LRT in the Northeast Corridor is theBurlington Northern alignment. This preferred alignment has available right-of-ways provides an opportunity for a better, connection to Maplewood Mall, has lower estimated capital costs and lower estimated operating costs than other alternatives. The motion passed on a vote of four. in favor (Malone, Sather, Marks, Lyons); two opposed (Hanson,, Rossbach); two abstentions (Finley, McCarty) 2. The Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority and other responsible agencies should place a high priority on providing as many grade separated roadway crossings as possible along the length. of the alignment selected for construction of LRT in the Northeast Corridor. 8-1 NORTHEAST CORRIDOR TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR LRT ALIGNMENT STUDY FOR RAMSEY COUNTY The Northeast Corridor Task Force, consisting of citizen representatives, has met regularly since July, 1990 to review information and make recommendations on the Northeast Corridor LRT Alignment Study for Ramsey County. A list of committee members is contained in Appendix A of this report At its final meeting on March 41 1991, the Task Force made these recommendations to be transmitted to the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority: - 1. The recommendations of the Technical Committee including further study of both the I-35E/Burl,ington Northern and the Burlington Northern alignments are accepted with the following amendment The last line of Item No. 5 in the Technical Committee recommendation is amended to read Ramsey County and the City of St. Paul should incorporate LRT into any trail planning for the Burlington Northern alignment so that the community clearly understands that eventual LRT construction there, along with trail use, may be the result. 2. The Task Force is opposed to staging or phasing of construction of LRT that initially ended at I-694 as proposed in the Regional LRT Development and Financial Plan, and recommend that the alignment be built in its entirety to White Bear Lake. 3. In future studies of LRT general community facilities should be considered for adding under special considerations. B-2 - = NORTHEAST CORRIDOR TECHNICAL.

County Road B Maplewood, MN 55109 Dear Mayo astian: By now most elected officials are aware that the State Legislature has passed the 1991 omnibus tax bill. This bill includes a one-half cent local option sales tax which will be used to help finance state aids and credits to local governments. The new tax will automatically take effect on July 1, 1991, making the state sales tax 6-1/2 percent. County Boards can choose to continue this tax after January 1, 1992, by passing a resolution by July 1, 1991, indicating that they wish to continue it. The Ramsey County Board has discussed the provisions of the tax bill. The Board would like to have input from the municipalities within the County regarding your desires about imposition of this sales tax. Your input is especially important because we under- stand that, if the sales tax is not enacted, no local units of government within the county are eligible for any of the state credits or aids that can be paid to them using the proceeds from this tax. The County Executive Director -and staff have met with city managers to discuss the situation and ask for the involvement of ecac h city and %0WII. ince have prepared a draft resolution that we would like city councils or boards to enact in relation to the sales tax. A copy of this resolution is attached. We'd like to have a resolution back from your city by June 20, 1991. We plan to take action on this matter at the County Board meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 25, 1991. Please call if you have any questions about these materials. Thank you for your assistance with our request. Sincerely, Hal Norgard, Chair Ramsey County Board of Commissioners Attachment: Draft Resolution cc: Michael McGuire, City Administrator IMPACT OF NOT APPROVING THE LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX UPON PROPERTY TAX RATES OF A.M.M. MEMBER CITIES I The omnibus tax bill recently passed by the state legislature gives county boards the option of adopting an additional one-half cent sales tax. The decision of a county board to adopt ( or not to adopt) the local option sales tax can be reversed by the g9verning bodies of cities and townships representing half of the population of the county. If the local option sales tax is not adopted within a county, the county and all cities and special taxing districts within that .county will lose all. of the followincr state` ds: ' al LGA,_HACA _(homestead and acrricultural credit aid), --....ecualization aid, and disf - parity reduction aid. The attached table summarizes the 'impact. that the loss of this aid -would' have upon the cities that are members of the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, The first column contains an estimate of the amount of state aid that would be lost by -cities in 1992 if the local option sales tax is not adopted. This amount does not -include county and special taxing district aid that would also be lost. Local governments will have the option of levying to replace aid that was lost by not ' approving the local option sales tax. The second and third column's list the estimated 1992 city and total tax rate.increa.ses needed to replace all aid that would. be lost b. not y approving,. the -,,.1ocal.11option'�, sales tax. Similar information for taxes payable in 1993 i . s presented in columns four through six. In 1993 there. is no scheduled aid cut. However,, there should be an increase in HACA received by local governments (assuming the local option sales tax is approved). because of the continuing buy -downs associated with further class rate reductions* There is a very little data for 1993 currentl' available; y val consequently, the estimated impact of approving the local option sales tax is determined by applying the class rates and HACA formula for taxes payable in 1993 to preliminary 1992 data. The 1993 aid amount is assumed to be equal to the 1992 aid amount (after cuts) plus new HACA amounts associated with- the 1993 class rate reductions, EXAMPLE: MINNEAPOLIS (1992) If the local option sales tax is not adopted in'Hennepin county, the City of Minneapolis would lose an estimated $85.,514,648 in state aid (from column one) for taxespayable in 19920 ..The city tax rate in Minneapolis would increase by an estimated 32,,4842,1, (from column two) and the total tax rate would increase by an: estimated 36*663% (from -'column three), For example, if the cit tax 'rate in Minneapolis was .33,, 000% bef ore the loss of state aid, 2.8 - would have to iricrea.se_to 65,48 A5, (33..00%-.+ 32*4.84%) afterthe4, loss of state aid in or -der to in-ainta-in th' 44 e Sa.M.A-amollni- of -reve-nue. 0 11LL 1.L ar.Lyif the total Lax rate in Minneapolis before the loss of r 1 ", state aid was .126o000%,, it..'would have to increase to 16.2* . 663% 1> A n 0 rI.S.- _J_ -at I ftoweww -0j GL.L%W=.L %.11C � v��U.L SLate a I d in - Order to A maintain the same amount of revenue, A.M.M.

Action, by Council AGENDA REPORT Endo;sed Nodifte w TO: City Manager FROM: Director of Public works and Assistant City Manager RE: AMENDMENT To THE ST. PAUL WATER UTILITY CONTRACT DATE: June 3, 1991 INTRODUCTION The City of Maplewood purchases its water supply from the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Saint Paul. The original 20 year contract expired on March 31, 1982. Since that time, Maplewood and the Water Board have been operating under the terms of the expired contract. This proposed contract amendment is presented for your consideration and approval to serve as an interim agreement for a period of one year or until both parties can mutually agree on the terms of a new contract. BACKGROUND Retail Contract In 1962, the City and the Water Board signed a 20 year contract for the provision of water. This contract expired in 1982, and since that time, the two parties have been unable to negotiate a contract and rate structure that are satisfactory to both. Under the expired contract, Maplewood operates as a "retail" customer for a water supply. A retail contract means that: The Water Board maintains the system; Since the water Board is responsible for maintenance, Maplewood must build its water distribution system to the standards of the water Board; The water utility reads the meters and bills the customers for the water supply; and All water customers within Maplewood pay 120% of the rates which are charged to the residents of the City of St. Paul. Wholesale Contract Cities can purchase water from the St. Paul Water Board another way - on a wholesale basis. As a wholesale customer, Maplewood would establish its own water department. The department would not only construct the improvements but also maintain its own system, read the meters, and bill the customers. The St. Paul Water Utility would invoice the City of Maplewood on a monthly basis for the water which passes through very large mains at the City limits. The cities of Roseville and Little Canada are wholesale customers, and they operate their own water departments to perform the responsibilities described above. Based on some preliminary calculations, staff sees substantial cost savings to residents if the City would convert to a wholesale contract and establish its own water department. Early this year, the City Council authorized staff to negotiate a wholesale contract with St. Paul. Project 90-07: City-wide Water Project Over the years, Maplewood has developed its own design and construction re specifications and standards for the improvements in the City's water system. These standards are consistent with engineering practice and rules of the Minnesota State Department of Health. However, some of the City standards are different from Water Utility standards. The standard differences are not in the quality of materials. In many circumstances, Maplewood's requirements are more restrictive than the Water Utility's requirements. The differences deal with methods of installation and the location of the improvements such as depth below the roadway. The differences between the City's and the Water Utility's standards have two direct impacts: there are substantial savings in project costs using Maplewood's standards rather than Water Utility standards; and the terms of the expired contract specifically state that all improvements made by Maplewood must be in compliancewith Water Utility standards. The City is extremely interested in the cost savings, and the Water Utility is very concerned about their maintenance responsibilities for a system which does not conform with their specifications. The City recently awarded a contract for Project 90-07, the City-wide water project. The projects specifications are based on Maplewood's standards and not on Water Utility standards. The Water Utility is requesting that an amendment to the expired contract be adopted as soon as possible to establish rules to handle this new situation in which non -conforming improvements are being constructed for them to maintain. Proposed Contract Amendment An amendment to the expired retail contract is presented for Council consideration and approval. The purpose of the contract is two fold. It defines the responsibilities for the maintenance of Maplewood's new improvements which are not in conformance with the Water Utility's standards. The second purpose of the amendment is that it declares that Maplewood and the Water Board are both committed to negotiate a wholesale contract. The proposed amendment makes several changes in the original contract. 1. The term is one year. 2. The Water Utility is accepting responsibility to maintain the improvements even though they are not constructed in conformance with St. Paul standards. 3. The Water Utility and Maplewood declare that they are committed to negotiate a wholesale contract during the next year. 4. A $75 administrative fee for each new connection is established. This fee covers the costs associated with setting up a new account. When the City signs a wholesale contract, these records will become part of Maplewood's water department documentation. Since Project 90-07 is progressing rather quickly, this contract amendment to govern the "Maplewood standard construction needs to be addressed as soon as possible. RECOMMENDATION It is hereby recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed contract amendment to the 1962 contract with the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of Saint Paul for the provision of water, and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into the agreement on behalf of the City. T __ s MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: City Manager RE: AGREEMENT WITH ST,. PAUL WATER ]ITY DATE: June 4, 1991 St. Paul and Maplewood attorneys are currently reviewing the St. Paul Water Utility agreement and should have a copy I of the final agreement to you before or at the pre -agenda. meeting. MAM: kas AGENDA REPORT To: City Manager Michael McGuire From: Director of Public Safety Kenneth V. Collins Subject: Gambling License - Northeast Ringette Association Date. June 4. 1991 Aotion by Council*. dorsad... ... . NodIft a d*..,� �...�...�. 183 60ted wow Date- Introduction ict In_ troduction Northeast Ringette Association has made application for a lawful gambling license in the City of Maplewood. Backqround Based on information supplied by Northeast Ringette Association, it appears to October 30, 1987, and has an organization that has been in operation since O be g a listed address of 8695 Ironwood Trail, Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Alsobased on information that has been supplied, the organization has 43 listed members all of whom are juveniles (with the exception of 2 plus the 6 listed officers of the organization)* Our investigation reveals that, according to state law, they meet the three- year . year requirement to be licensed as a lawful gambling g However, also duringour investigation, we were able to determine that during the months hs of January, May, and June 1991, they held their monthly meetings at Y the Gladstone Community Center. According to an official of the organization, have only recently been held at the Gladstone Community Center the meetingsy y and prior to that time were held at the Maplewood City Hall. We have been unable to make verification of this claim, as the Northeast Ringette Association does not appear on any documentation.at Maplewood City Hall. The Association stated that they currently have a pull -tab operation that is being run in Mahtomedi, however, we have been unable to find a Minnesota lawful gambling permit for Northeast Ringette Association. Based on the membership and our inability to substantiate that monthly meetings have been held in the City of Maplewood for the past three years, it would appear that Northeast Ringette Association does not qualify for a pp gambling permit in the City of Maplewood. Recommendation Based on the facts that have been gathered to date, it is recommended that this permit be denied unless new information can be developed. Action Required Submit to the City Council for their handling. KVC:js cc 91-005327 may I1, 1991 Gary Bastian, Mayor Maplewood City Hall 1830 E. Co. Rd.

A joint project for the past five years, the program provides full services for students with physical or mental limitations. The program's goals are interaction, socialization, and picking up the cues of what other kids are doing. The kids have the chance to see how other (able) kids behave. John Glenn students volunteer as "buddies" and participate in classroom activities, which helps break down misconceptions about disabilities. Some special relationships have developed between the 100 volunteers and the students with disabilities. Orientation sessions are held for the volunteers, and John Glenn recently made a video to initiate incoming sixth- graders into the program. Cheri Heise-Neff, Lead Teacher in District 916 disabilities program, and Fulton Klinkerfues, Principal at John Glenn Middle School, accepted placques for their schools' joint program at the January meeting of the Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce. HRC Chairperson Karla Sand noted that although awards have been given for four years, this is the first time one has been given to a school program. The second award was given to teacher Patti Cibuzar of Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary School for her dedication and innovation in teaching students about local and world-wide human rights concerns. Cibuzar tries to raise awareness among her fifth-grade students and to help them realize they can make a difference. She has designed her own curriculum, moving beyond textbooks to present current human rights issues to her class and shows them ways to get involved in meeting human rights needs. Students study something new each month, and Cibuzar says her efforts seem to work. Her students can empathize with people around the world and in their community. When they hear about an injustice, they want to take some action. Any time a human rights issue is presented, they are really interested and concerned. They have also written letters to legislators, and had local politicians speak in class. Cibuzar believes that human rights work is really tough, but it's important not to give up because so many people need help.

Julie believes human rights are important to the extent that those rights "do not step on the rights of others." In addition to the first place certificate, Julie was presented with a $100 check donated by Premier Bank, and a copy of "The Little Prince." Julie heard about the contest from Tartan criminology teacher Larry Boyle. To complete her essay, Julie took out library books on the Bill of Rights and freedom of speech. She admitted that she had to rush to meet the deadline for the contest. Despite her busy schedule with extra-curricular activities, Julie says she would not hesitate to become involved in resolving human rights violations at Tartan should they occur. Julie feels her horizons have been broadened by participating in the contest, but she is not yet sure where those challenges will lead her when she goes off to college. HUMAN RIGHTS ESSAY CONTEST FREEDOM OF SPEECH? The Bill of Rights was formed by Congress in 1791 to insure the personal rights of all United States citizens. These personal rights are the rights to life, liberty, and property. The First Amendment includes the promise that "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech..." But to what extent can we use this freedom? Can we go to the point of hurting another human being? If so, are that person's rights being upheld... The truth is not every type of message must be permitted for the sake of freedom of speech. In the 1919 court case of Schenk vs. United States, Justice Holmes declared that Congress has the right to limit freedom of speech. He initiated the "clear and present danger" test which states that in order for Congress to limit freedom of speech, the message must be the type that will create clear and present danger. It can, therefore, be concluded that each United States citizen has the possibility of harming another individual. The Bill of Rights guarantees rights to all United States citizens regardless of race, culture, sex, or any disabilities they happen to have. It can be assumed then that all citizens of the United States live in peace and harmony. However, it is difficult for a government to guarantee and limit the rights of its citizens at the same time. The imbalance that this creates leads to social tensions. I believe that social tensions of some types are inevitable under any government. However, these tensions can be minimized by protecting every citizen's rights to the point where they create "clear and present danger" to others. Maintaining a balance between the two is essential to a successful society where people of different races, culture, sexes, and abilities can live together and flourish.
