St. Paul Avenue Resurfacing

Saint Paul Avenue is scheduled to be paved on October 7 & 8, weather permitting.

Additional pedestrian and bicycle improvements:

The mill and overlay process gives the City the opportunity to improve spaces for people walking and biking. In addition to updating curb ramps at corners to improve accessibility for people using strollers and mobility devices, the City installed a number of pedestrian improvements at W 7th Street, Davern Street, and midblock between the two. These improvements narrow the roadway to slow traffic and provide more visibility and a shorter crossing to people walking. Additionally, one vehicle lane in each direction will be removed and replaced with a buffered bike lane. It gives people biking a more comfortable space separate from drivers. This bike lane is identified in the Saint Paul Bicycle Plan and provides an important neighborhood connection. Roughly eight on-street parking spaces will be removed for this project.

What you need to do:

• Please move your car off the street. We will post “No Parking” signs the day before the project begins.
• Cars that are not moved will be ticketed and towed.
• The street will have temporary closures or lane restrictions during milling and repaving operations. There will be flaggers on site and we will try to maintain access to driveways, but there may be temporary access restrictions ranging from 10-45 minutes when the work is in front of the access area.
• Please notify tenants/renters/visitors about the project and parking restrictions.

Project costs:

All abutting property owners will be charged a fee of 50% of the mill and overlay project cost. The city pays the remaining 50% of the project cost. Property owners will receive a bill for the repaving project after the work has been completed.

The estimated rate for the Saint Paul Avenue mill and overlay project is $41.32/front linear foot.

Saint Paul Avenue is tentatively scheduled to be milled on October 1 and then paved on October 6 & 7, weather permitting.
