The location of the bikeway network was defined in the Capital City Bikeway: Network Study and Design Guidelines. Additionally, infrastructure constraints, including the RiverCentre parking ramp and retaining walls, are located on the south side of Kellogg Boulevard which prohibits the ability to locate the bikeway there. 

The bikeway transitions from 10’ to 8’ due to constrained space within the street Right of Way. The width of the bikeway was reduced to accommodate pedestrian traffic, while still maintaining existing vehicle traffic. 

The bikeway will be bituminous (asphalt), except over the Kellogg Boulevard bridge, where it will be dark grey colored concrete.

Yes, trees and landscaping will be planted where space allows. Other pedestrian improvements include new pavement, crosswalks, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility upgrades.

There are some physical constraints or “pinch points” along the project area that need to be accommodated. Some notable areas include the intersections at Market Street and Washington Street, as well as the drop off in front of the RiverCentre. Existing on street parking will be removed to accommodate space for the new bikeway.

Anticipated improvements include additional landscaping and green space, site amenities, improved pavement, and accessibility improvements.

The city identified a goal to increase bicycle mode share from 2% in 2000 to 5% in 2025. For more information about the vision the city has established for adding bicyclists and bicycle infrastructure in Saint Paul, see the Connected Network of Bicycles and Trails report published by the city.

The Capital City Bikeway is a network of bicycle facilities throughout downtown Saint Paul. The bikeway connects residents and visitors to downtown attractions, employment centers, and existing trails and on-street bikeways. For an overview of the entire network, visit the Capital City Bikeway website.

Yes, the city is coordinating with adjacent property owners and stakeholders in the project area. 

No. Construction for this project will occur during 2025. The construction timing for Eastbound Kellogg RiverCentre Bridge will be determined once project funding is available. You can view more information about Eastbound Kellogg RiverCentre Bridge here.

The city will be responsible for clearing ice and snow from the bikeway. 

The snow will be stored in the boulevards along the roadway. When needed, it is also hauled away.

Yes, the goal is to have the construction complete ahead of the World Junior Hockey Tournament which is scheduled for December 26, 2025.
