Sidewalks
The city is committed to making Saint Paul a pedestrian friendly, walkable community for everyone. In February 2017, the Saint Paul City Council adopted a policy of installing sidewalks where none exist as an integral part of all reconstruction projects.
The project will incorporate sidewalk recommendations from the 2023 Como Park High School and Como Park Elementary Safe Routes to School Plan within the project limits. The plan was developed by Saint Paul Public Schools staff and students along with the City of Saint Paul. It includes recommendations for street improvements near the two schools with the goal of increasing the number of students and families who walk and bike to school. The plan recommends sidewalks where there are none.
The standard placement for sidewalk installation is at the private property line. The city will work around existing trees and infrastructure where possible.
Detailed Sidewalk Layout Map
Use the detailed sidewalk layout map to view the proposed layout of new sidewalks and location of existing sidewalks in the Wheelock-Grotto Phase 1 area.
Please note that this map is for informational purposes and may not exactly reflect the existing infrastructure or final construction.
Understanding and using the sidewalk layout map:
- Zoom in to the specific street or property address (property lines are in green and buildings are in turquoise with addresses on them)
- Map key
- Green lines = property lines and recorded right of way (green lines along the street and alley)
- Yellow = existing sidewalk
- Dark orange = existing fence or wall
- Green bubbles with number = existing tree and number is the size of the tree's trunk in inches
- Blue lines = proposed curb for reconstructed street
- Light orange with dots = proposed sidewalk
- Olive green with number = width of the public right of way and proposed street in feet
- Black boxes with a letter = driveways
- A = asphalt driveway
- B = brick driveway
- C = concrete driveway
