Thursday, May 26, 20166:00 to 7:30 PM

The City of Saint Paul is hosting an open house to share information and take input on the proposal for bike lanes on Hamline Avenue from University to Minnehaha Avenue.

The open house is Thursday, May 26, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Sejong Academy Auditorium (1330 Blair Avenue W, Saint Paul, MN, 55104). Visitors may enter through the east door of Blair Avenue, and an ADA accessible entrance is located from the parking lot with elevator access to the auditorium.

What is the Proposal?The City is planning a street resurfacing on Hamline Ave between University Ave and Minnehaha Ave in 2016. The Bicycle Plan recommends bike lanes on Hamline within the project corridor. Implementing bicycle lanes with the street resurfacing is proposed.

Changes to On-Street ParkingTo add bike lanes, some on-street parking would be removed on Hamline. Between University Avenue and Minnehaha Avenue, on-street parking would be removed on one side of the street.

Minnehaha to Pierce ButlerThe City is also exploring extending bicycle lanes north between Minnehaha and Pierce Butler. Hamline narrows north of Minnehaha, and installing bike lanes would require parking removal on both sides of the street. Since this section of Hamline is outside of the area scheduled for resurfacing, the City is looking to take input on whether or not bike facilities should be extended north of Minnehaha in 2016.

At the Open House• Preliminary layouts and concepts will be shared. • City of Saint Paul staff will be available to answer questions and address

concerns about the proposed plan.• Comment forms will be provided to collect public input on the proposed plan.• There will be no formal presentation - the meeting is intended as an

opportunity for the community to review the project and offer feedback that will inform the final design.
