A. PURPOS AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION .
Beginning wi h the Downtown Urban Renewal Project Area—Minn. R-20, the Housing and
kedeveJopm nt Authority oi the City of Saint P�ul has developed a skyway system in - �
.
do�•ntown S�'nt Paul.
� As used her n, the term "skyway system" is inclusive and encompasses the following: .
tl) concours corridors, (2) node points in the concourse corridors, including, wherc feasible,
one major n de c�Fltral to e�ch block, generally at the point where several concourse corridors
intersect, (3 brides spanning streets, (4) certain vertical access facilities connnecting, the
concourse c rridors to public streets or other pubtic property. The �rimary purpose of this
skyway syst m is'to divert pedestrians f rom the minimal width street level sidewalks, enabling
•pedestrian t affic to rnove in an enclosed environment protected from aoverse weather
and vehicul traffic. Tne skyway system has significantly reduced pedestria�-vehicle conflicts
at street lev 1, particularJy during periods of pe�k traffic, thereby permitting a smoather '
flow of vehi' ular traffic and greater safety fo- the pedestrian.
.,:�. --
f,nother irnp rtant benefit of the skyway system is the opportunity afforded developers
to provide s �op and office space abutting the concourse. In the use of such shop space,
tne public w 11 be unhinoered by adverse weather conditions and vaffic, thereby promoting
the desirabi ty of shopping and doing business in the connected buildings and contributing
.. 't;: the econojnic strength of Do��ntown Saint Paul. The skyway system, through the efforts
� � �of the devel pers, also rnay contain sculpture, w�ter displays, artwork, and ott►er elements
contributing to the aesthetic and cultural enrichment of the citizens of the City, thereby
becon�ir�g a ocus of activity in the downtown area. The genera! Jocation of the skyway
system, incl ding concourse corridors, nodes, vertical access facilities and bridges are
shown on th ottached map. �
. . � .
.
B. UEVELO h-1ENT PRE.v1ISES An'D COh'SIDERATIONS
Incorporatio of the pubJic skyway system into private development and building o�•nership
presents so e unique implications for both the public, owners, and redevelopers. With
. rrcognition f the public and private interests involved in the skyway syste►n, certain �
Nr<<ni�C� iia �e been established relatiny to tne system, anu these pre�nises are oasic to
• tt;C retiulati �s dno devel�pn�ent criteria established for the skyw•ay s��stetr, as set forth
�n succecuin � secti�ns. The iollowing premises�apply to the entire sk���•ay s��stzm, even
�hn���'r� nnrti nc nf rha cvctPm rt�nv hrs h�iilr hv nrivatP hiiilriinv o�ners or develoflers:
� -2- : ��r , �
, � . ,, �
� , . .
1. The skyw�ay system will be.entirely enclosed and capable of being heated and cooled �
to a temperature compara,ble to that maintained in office and retail areas. The term .
"enclosea" shall mean protected froin the weather, though the area of the skyway system
need not necessarily be confined by its own walls. The concourse corridors and bridges
v►�ill be constructea at a standard width of 12'0", with a larger area to be developed at
nodal poinu. Those segments passing through existing improvements to remain will also
be at a standard width of 12'0", except where in the judgment of the City, physical limitations
of existing buildings, such as column spacing, fixed vertical element locations, window
opening, etc., render achievement of a 12'0" width impractical, or would constitute an
undue hardship to the owner. In such instances, a lesser width may be dllowed.
2. The success, that is the oegree oi utilization of the skyway system, wil! be directly
related to the convenience anci comf ort it aff ords pedestrians in the downtown.
3. Any and all public expenditures fo� the skyway system must be limited only to those
improvemenu that are of public cenefit: While adjacent buildings may derive periphera!
benefit irom�a public skyway abutting their properties, no segment of the skyv►�ay system
i� or�iu facilities that are of primary benefit to private interesu can be constructed with
public monies. The City shall reserve to itself the sole and final determination as to what �
improvements are of public benefit.
4. The sicyway system must have a design identity of its own, distinguishing it fram other
�� areas v.�ith pu�lic access within buildings as an aid to citizens in finding their way throughout
the system. Further, where public funds are expended for the skyway system, it must
be possible to readily ident'ify those areas publicly provided so that the citizens are cognizant
of their right to use sucn areas. The system must possess directional clarity and be accessibie,
identi€iable and continuous.
� S. The s►cyway system must functionally and visually heJp to unify the downtown. It should �
be urban in character ana should provide a variety of special experiences; it should not
be of monolithic design throughout its length. The skyway system should possess a variety
of floor to ceiling heighu and abut spaces of varying design and activities. Nevertheless,
it rr�ust still possess enough common elements to provide the directional clarity, continuity
ano ioentity required.

C. SKYWA SYSTEM ELE�9ENTS DEFINED
The skyway � stem consisu of five elemenu:
I. Concours I Corridors - Concourse corridors wilJ run through a block from building face
to building f ce connecting to a skyway bridge. The prin�ary �ublic purpose of such concourse
corrioors is t e accommodation of pedestrian travel from point to point, and as such, a
standard wid h of 12'0" is established for such elements.
?. Nodes - I des a�e the points of intersection of severa! concourse corridors and/or
the Jocation f a vertical access facility. At such points, peciestrian traffic is likely to
be heavier a e mcving in varying directions, directional decisions are made, and other
activizies m y �e occurring. Such nodes must clearly possess a design identity and �haracter
_ separ�ting t m from abutting private areas, and must be primarily oriented to the public
purpose of a commodating pedesvian travel in the skyway system, inciuding orientation,
airection ch nges, and congregation or vertical movement to street level. The size and �
configur�tio of the node will be dependent upon the number of concourse corridors intersecting
� its location ithin the downtown and the overall skyway system, and the amount and nature
of �nticipat ' pedestrian activity within the �ode. The node must be large enough to
'accommooat anticipateo pedestrian activity and to constitute a special area of importance
witnin the o erall skyway system. Theref ore, a wider than I2-f oot standard concourse
area a-ill be equired, where possible, at one major node in each block and may be necessary
at other nod' s. Secondary nodes rnay also occur in some instances, especially at poinu
of vertical a� cess to the street. V�'here appropriate, such arezs shall also have a width
wider than t e normal 12 feet appropriate for concourse corridors.
_
. . .
3. t3ric�es , Brid es enerall s •an streets and sidewalks between property lines and perform
g g Y P
- . ess�ntially t' e san�e public function as concourse corridors; therefore, the bridges will be •
bui:t with a tandard clear v��iath of 12'0". Also, the City of Saint Pau! currently �equires
a minir��um idge height clearance of 17'4" at the center of the street which it spans.
brieges rnay pan private property but must connect to an acceptabJe se�,ment of tt�e basic
skyway syst , giving access to a puclic street or otner public property. Elridges v��ill be
uf a cor�siste t design throughout the downtov.�n area, consisting basically of exposed steel
vierenceel t sses painted deep brown, with terrazzo fJoors and an e�,s crste �rid luminous
. ceilinb. .
. _�_ .,�w: , � .
. � ��� �
- � �• .
4. Brid e Su ort Structures and Services - Bridge support structures will support the bridges � �
at eitner end and will be cont2ined within the buildings unless it is structurally necessary ,
to provide bridge supports independent of the building. Bridge services are defined as those
elecvical and mechanical systems which provide heating, cooling and electrical service
to the bridge. Also included is the roof drainage system. �
S. Vertical Access Facilities - Vertical access f acilities in the f orm of either stairs or �
es�zlators provide access to the concourse nodes, corridors, and the bridges from the stre�et, .
Vertical access be�ween the concourse and street level will be rec}uired throughout the
skyway system with'escalators being required at the principal points of access to the skyway �
system. Generally, vertical access must be provided at or near each end of the bridges
crossirig streets and may also be required at other locations within the system. Elevato�s
will also be required within each building in the skyway system to provide vertical access
f or the handicapped.
D. COST SHARING AND FU�DING POLICY �
� � The following cost sharing and funding policy applies to all skyway system elements (concoUrse
corridors, nodes, bridges, bridge support structures and services an d ver ti c a l a c c e s s f a c i l i t ies)

The b�iJding owner or developer must agree to retain the services of its architect to provide
information, drawings, documents, and to spend the time necessary with the City's archit�ct
in order to coordinate the provision of inechanical and eJectrical facilities to the bridge
and to resoJve all structural, aesthetic and related matters relative to bridge �onnections.
Al! such design, consultation and coordination will be accomplished in a timely manner
so as to permit consuuction of the bridge as soon as the two buildings to which the bridge
connects are capable of receiving the bridge.
4. Vertical Access Facilities - Verti�al access facilities will be installed by the benefitting
building owner or developer at no cost to the City. Existing vertical access facilities
will be used wherever possibJe. The City Council may, at its sole and final determination,
require the installation of escalators or elevators as pan of the skyway system. The benefitting
building owner or developer will pay the costs of such vertical access facilities.
S. Directional Si�ns - The City will pay for the manufacture of all iliuminated directional
sign�.boxes and •���es within bwldings. The benefitting building Awner or developer wil!
pay al! cosu for supporu, elecvicaJ service, ins►allation, operation, maintenance, repair �

._6. Hardship Determinations - if a benefitting building owner can show to the satisfaction
of the City that the costs noted above constitute an economic and financial hardship, the
Ciiy may consider financial assistance to any building owner (other than a developer) in
an amount not to exceed the market value of the square footage of that part of the building •� �
which is required for second-leve! skyway easement pu�poses. Developers shall not be eligible
for such.hardship determination. hs used in this section, developer shall mean that person,
'partnerst�i�, joint venturz, or,corporation who is constructing a building or building addition '
to which a skyway bridge will be connected.
In cases where the modification of inechanical and electriccal equipment in a building proves �
economically inf easible, the City will consider providing the necessary mechanical and
electrical equipment as part of the skyway bridge. The City will make the findl deterrnination

t'ma les and Reimbursements - As requirements to the expenditure of City
l. Cost Es i .
monies f or sky y system construction where the City determines there is a hardship
to the building wner, preliminary plans and cost estimates therefor will be submitted
f or approval by he City. In no event shall the City provide monies under the provisions
of this documer� for improvements which are not clearly identifiable as part of the skyway
system. The co� t estimates provided by the owner will include the estimated square fooi
cost of a!1 finis es integra! to the area of the skyway system as set f orth in Section F. .
Such cost infor ation shall included estimated costs for approved vertical access facilities
to be provided I y the owner. If the building owner undertakes to have any of the above�
improvements one by a contractor other than the contractor being retained by the City
to do the bridg construction, the City will reimburse the building owner only for actual
costs incurred. Such costs must be proven to the satisfaction of the City. ,
2. Submission f Plans - Plans shall be submitted by the building owner for approval by

the City, indic ting all materials and finishes used in the skyway system and the architectu�al
manner in whi the skyway system is separated from abutting private building areas
where the con ucse occurs within the owner's building. The City will make certain additions
to such drawin s, including signs and other graphics, furniture, and other elements consistent
with achieving identity and design continuity for each segment of the skyway system.

F. DESIGN Ai D �"�ATERIALS RE' U1REti�thTS AND STANDARDS
ln order to actY eve tne design identity, continuixy, and ease of orientation necessary if
the sky9way sy tem is to function effectively, the City has established certain design and •
• � . mater'rals req rements for the skyway system. The design of the skyway system within
each block sh 1 adhere to these requirements. �'ith the exception of the design and construction
of directional igns as noted in Section D.S., the developer or building owner shall be cesponsible
f or all cos:s o �esign, construction, installation, maintenance, replacement ana repair
of a11 items e umerated in this section.

1. S�cyway System Symbol - A graphic symbol has been deveJoped for the skyw�y system. `
Sudi s}�mbol shall be used to indicate the lo�ation of the skyway system �vithin the building
in a manner approved by the City. No other use of the symbol will be permitted.
2. Skyv.�ay System Graphics - Graphics will play a vital role in orientation in the skyway � -
syste�n, and through consistency of design and placement, will also constitute a vital element .
in achieving skyway system identity. The City will be responsible for the design and location
� of all skyway system graphics; the types of graphics and general location �riteria are as �
f ollows:
(a) Directional Signs - Directional signs are the largest and most conspicuous signs in
the skyway system. They are used to give directions to streeu and to major buildings
in the skyway system. All directional signs will be ottached to concourse ceilings
, (or suspenoed from the ceilings, depending on ceiling height), will be perpendiculac
to the axis of the concourse area in which they are located and will be the only such
signs to�be mounted in this manner. The most important of such signs will be illuminated. _
The building owner will provide: I) support for the directional signs above the ceiling;
� 2) electi.cal services to the signs; 3) the pendants which connect the signs to the structure
above the ceiling. The City has developed standard desigrts for the directional sigru
and wiil advise the developer or building owner of the specific location of the pendants
and signs.
(b) � `Maps and Route Directories - Wall-mounted or free standing maps and
� ° route directions of the skyway system will be placed in prominent locations
� at the head of vertica! access facilities, within nodes, or in other appropriate
locaiions so that the pedesvian may, together with the direttional signs,
determine the skyway route to be used in order to arrive easily and quickly
at a desired location. �
3. Skyu�ay Equipinent - To achieve prominence and identity for major node areas, the building �
owner, witn the approval of the City, is encouraged to provide skyway equipment in and
near the nooe areas. Such equipment may incJude scvlptures, decorative fuuntains, public
telepnones, public toilets, drinking fountains, kiosks for display of material of public interest,
� bencnes, trash receptacles, pl�nter boxes and other equipment as approved by the City. ,
Tne location of such equipment in or near node areas will be determined jointly by the City
and the building owner or developer, based on analysis of expected traffic patterns within
the node dnd to ad jacent private areas. The City and the builoing o��ner or developer will
- joir,tly eppro��e the design of all such eleinents to be placed within the skyway system. ,

. �. Sk �wa Floo �Vlater�afs - All skyway bridges wil! contain terrazzo floors of a brown
an� �,re;� chip irti a dark matrix�(Venice Art Marble V-1036, or equivalent), herein reierred
to �s "skyway t rrazzo:' The City v��il! require the use of skyway terrazzo in all or a major
po-tion of the nl de to be developed central to each block of the skyway �system. Such
use of a consta material to each bridge and central node will est�blish a repetitive rhythm
of spaces that ill aid in achieving identity and continuity for the skyway system. 1n concourse.
corridors runni between bridges and nodes, other floor materials may be used, though
a consistency o� floor material f or concourse corridors must be maintained throughout
�each building. kyway terrazzo and the concourse _orridor floor material may not be �
used, unless cha ged in color tone or texture in private non-skyway building areas in proximity
to the skyway s stem_where such use would tend to obscure the•ioentification of skyway •
materials with oncourse areas. If the building owner chooses to use carpet or other non-
permanent floo 'ng material for concourse corridors, the building owner must agree ta
replace such ca pei with new carpet or other m�terial matching as closely as possible the
ori'ginal in color� and texture at such intervals as may be determined by the City.

throughout any ne building. ►Viinimum ceiling height shall be 8'0", and no signs or other
'�— graphics other t an as specified above shall be fastened to, or suspended from, the ceiling.
�Lighting fixtur shall be recessed or attached in immediate proximity to the ceiling; hanging
or pendant fixt es will not be permitted. Luminous ceilings are permitted. Artificia�
lighting intensit shal! be a minimum of 30 f.c. at every point along the floor. The artificial _ ,
lightin� shall b s�pplied with electricity in such manner that the interruption of service �
µ •- in �a�y circuit i ide the building will not result in total interruption of the required lighting.
� u'nere ad jacent �rivate building areas are open to the concourse, a dif f erentiation in ceiling
treatment,.heig t, light level, and/or light color shal! be achieved. At nodes and at other
locations where ceiling-mounted directional signs are to be located, additional lighting
and/or outlets s al! be provided to accent such graphic material.
� 6. Sk wa S st m Walfs - Where the skyway system is defined by ��alls cr partitions separating. -
the concourse f om adjacent private building areas, such wa�ls may be of a design and
function consist nt with the use and architectural design oi such private building areas.
Exceptions will e required at wal! areas where graphic panels, maps, route directories,
_ or ather skyway related graphic matecial is to be located. Skyway systern a�alls shall be of
' durable, easily aintainable, finished materials. �L'here shop signs, depart�nent identification' ,
signs, or other � rmanent graphics not relatec+ to skywzy graphics as specif ied ab�ve
� are rrquired, th y shall be located on and%or p�rallel to concourse w;:l:s at a height between
7'0" above the f�oor, except signs painted on shop windows �nay occur at �ther heights

consistent with good design practices. No signs, except as specified for skyway relat,:d
graphics, may project f,rom concourse walls into the concourse easement. .
7. Skyway Colors - Skyway-related signs and other graphics will employ a specific color
scheme throughout the skyway system as developed by the City. Non-skyway related signs
and graphics in proximity to the concourse or node area utiliiing the same color scheme
as skyway-related graphics will not be permitted.
G. EASEMENT REQUIREMENTS
In order to assure public return for the p�blic investment made in development of the
skyway system in the downtown, all areas of the skyway system must be located either
on public property or within public easement granted without consideration by the developer
or building owner. Such easements shall be coterminous with the designated areas of concourse
corridors and nodes and vertical access facilities; also, shall extend on the ground floor
f rom the f oot of vertical access f acilities to a public sidewalk or other public proper.ty,
giving access to a public sidewalk. Such easements shall be required for both those skyway
` :system ele em nu fflr which the City is responsible and those elements constituting a link
in the basic systern for which private parties may be responsible. The easements wil! be �
in form satisfactory to the City and will be limited to the life of the irr.�rovements constituting
the skyway system. The easements will grant to the public the right of use of the skcyway
system f or purposes of ingress and egress and pedestrian transit without limitation, except
'� that such easements may attach reasonable conditions regarding closing parts or all of
the skyway system within the developer's or owner's structural improvemenu during non-
business hours as dictated by reasonable security requirements of the buildings through
which the concourse passes. . : • ' �
, . Subject to the following� conditions, the developer or building owner shall have the•right :
• at any ti��ne to change the locations of such easements and the easements shall so provide,
on the condition that new easements are granted v.�hich permit the continuity of the skyway
systen�, and the developer or owner installs a new pedestrian concourse on the new easement
area at the developer's or owner's sole cost and expense. .

in the event t e developer or owner elecu to substitute a new easement location, it will
submit to the ity the description thereof, the plans and specifications therefor, and proof
of ability to � y and method of payment therefore for the approval of the City, which approval
shail not be u reasonably withheld. The City shall have 90 days after the submission in
which to appn ve or reject the submission. If the City rejects the submission, it must do
so in writing ithin the 90-da�� period and, in such writing set forth in detail, the valid reasons
for such rej� tion. ln the event the City fails to reject the submission within said 90-day
period, the C' ty's consent shall be conclusively presumed. The City shalt not be required
to approve a y change in easement location unless the easement to be submitted therefor
contains at 1 'ast the same area and dimensions of the existing easement; and the improvements
thereon are If the same character, quality and functional characteristics of the initial concourse,
including rep acement of signs, graphics and furniture provided in the original skyway system.
V��hen the Ci� approves the substitution as af oresaid, the parties shall then join in the execution
and delivery j f an amendatory agreement in recordable form which designates the substitute
location and I erminates the easement over the o!d location eff ective upon completion of
the construc� ion of the new concourse and skyway systemo

� H. OPERA � ON AND tJ�AInTENAnCE RECIUIREl�1ENTS
7he skyway ystem, including all future additions, is located on public property or within
public ease ents. As such, the City has a proprietary obligation for operation, maintenance,
• repair and rl placement of the skyway systern. Nevertheless, the City will reQuire, as
part o� the asernent agreement, that the developer or building owner assume the full responsi-
bility f or tn� operation,� maintenance, repair and replacement f or all segments of the skyway
system loca ed within its proPerty, for bridges over streets a�utting its property, and carry
out such op ration, maintenance, repair and replacement az its own expense without cost .
to the City. In the eves�t that the developer or building owner fails to operate, maintain,
. repair or re lace the concourse system, or any part tnereof, tc a reasonable standaro, '
the City m y perform such operations and assess all costs incurred in so doing against
the develop r or building owner in accord with the normal proczdures f or assessments
related to s dewalk maintenance, repair and replacement in the City of Saint Paul.
Where sky ay bridges connect the property of one developer or ow�ner v.�ith that of another,
the Cevel� rs or owners rnay share equally, or on v.�hatever other basis is rnutually agreeable
to both, th brid�e operation, maintenance, repair and replacerr�ent costs. Such agceement
