Wabasha Street Capital City Bikeway Extension to the Capitol

Project Schedule

• COMPLETE Summer - Fall 2025: Phase 1 Community Engagement. Develop corridor goals and project concepts using feedback from the community, policy and guidance from adopted plans, and technical engineering constraints.

• ONGOING Fall - Winter 2025: Phase 2 Community Engagement. Throughout the months of October, November, and December 2025 the project team will be refining the preferred concept design. We are doing this using feedback gleaned this summer, new feedback gleaned this fall, and technical engineering constraints. These project materials are the basis for this phase of work:

Next Phases of Work 

• Spring - Winter 2026: Detailed Final Design. Once the preferred concept has been decided, city engineering and planning staff will work on the details of the design. Updates will be shared with the community along the way to make sure the design is consistent with community expectations.
•  
• Spring - Fall 2027: Bidding and Construction. The reconstruction of Kellogg will take most of spring, summer, and fall. City staff will provide regular updates to the community about construction impacts, detours, and progress.

Historical Sites on the Corridor

The corridor features several historical sites that contribute to the character of downtown Saint Paul. The project team is committed to being mindful of the potential impacts on these landmarks. We welcome public input to help prioritize what matters most when considering changes to the roadway. Historic sites along the corridor include:

• New Astor Theater
• Eisenmenger Meat Market
• Fitzgerald Theater (formerly the Sam S. Schubert Theater)
• Minnesota Arts & Sciences Center
• History Theatre building
• Twin Cities Rapid Transit Company Building
• Colonnade Hotel
• Minnesota State Capitol Mall Historic District
• State Veterans Services Building

We are seeking feedback from the community: 

• What place along the corridor holds special meaning to you and why?
• What features on the street help tell the story of downtown’s history?
