:�. PURPUSE ND GENERAL.DESCRIPTION .
� .
I
Beginning with�''�, he Downtown Urban Renewal Project Area—h4inn. R-20, the Housing and
kedeveJopmen� Authority of the City of Saint Paul has developed a sky�.�ay system in
dok•ntown Sain Paul.
� As useo herein, the term "skyway s��stem" is incJusive �nd encompesses �he following: .
tl) concourse c rridors, i2) node poinu in the concourse corridors, incl�ding, where feesible,
one m�jor nod c�ntral to each block, generally at .ne point where several concourse corridors
inte-s�t, (3) b ides spanning streets, (4) cert�in vertic�l �ccess facilities connnecting the
concourse corr dors to public streets or other p�b!ic property. The prim�ry purpese of this
skyway system is.to diver: pedesvians from the minimal width street level sidev.�alks, enabling
peoestrian traf ic to rnove in an encJosed environment protected from aoverse weather
snc vehicular t affic. The skyway system has significantly reduced pedestrian-vehicle conflicts
a; street level, particularly during periods of p�k traffic, thereby permitting a smoothet
f;ow of vehicul r traffic and greater safety for the pedestrian.
. � , .....,_ , _ __ ;_ .
i�notner irr,por ,ant benefit of the skyway system is ►he opportunity �fforded developers
to provide-sho and office space abutting the concourse. In the use of such shop space,
zhe public will e unhinoered by adverse wea►her con�itions and traffic, thereby promoting
. the oesirabilit of shopping and doing business in the connected builoings and contributing
to the econorni strength of Do��ntown Saint Paul. The skyway system, thro�gh the efforts
. of the oevelop �,rs, also rnay contain sculpture, water displays, artwork, and other elements
contributing toI the aesthetic ano cultural enricnment of the citizens of the City, thereby
t�econiir,g a f o s of activity in the downtown area. The general location of the skyway
s�-stem, includi g concourse cor�idors, nodes, vertical access facilities �nd bridges are
sho�:�n cr� the o tached ir�ap. •

. I, The sky�.�ay system will be entirely enclosed GRU CGpable of being heated and cooled -
to a temperature comparabJe to that maintained in office and retail areas. The term . (
"enclosea" shall mean protected f rom the weather, though the zrea of the sKyway system
need not necessarily be confined by i�ts own walls. The concourse corridors and bridges
v,�ill be constr�cted at a standard width of 12'0", with a larger area to be deveJoped at
nodal poinu. Those segments passing through existing improvements to r�mzin wili also
be at a standard width of 12'0", except where in the judgment of the City, physical limitations
of exis:ing buiJdings, such as column spacing, fixed verical element locations, window
opening, etc., render achievement of a 12'0" width impracticzl, or would constitute an
undue haroship to the owner. In such instan�es, a lesser width may be �llowed.

3. Any and alJ public expenditures i'or the skyway systern must be limited only to those .
improverrrenu th�t are of public benefit: �'hile a��jacent buildings may derive peripheral
benefit f rom � public skyway eb'�tting their prope�ties, no segment of zhe skyv.�ay system
� Df�ltS f acilities that are of primary benefit to private interests can be consuucted`with �
public monies. The City shall reserve to iuelf the sole and final determination es 'to what �
improvements are of public benefit. '
4. The sicyway system must have a design ioentity of its own, aistinguishing it from other �
., '�, areas ��itn pu�lic access within buildings cs an ai� to citizens in finding their way throughout
the system. Further, where public funas 2re expenced f or the skyway system, it must
�e possibJe to readily identify those areas publicly p
rovided so that the citizens are cognizant
of their right to use sucn areas. The system rr►us: possess directional clarity and be accessibie,
ioenti:iable and continuous.

be urban in character an� should provide a varie:y of special experiences; it should not
be of monolithic design throughout its length. Tne skyway system should possess a variety
of floor to ceiling heighu and abut spaces of varying design and aetivities. Nevertheless,

C. SKY� AY YSTEM ELEt�1EhT5 DEFIhED
� '
The skyw�y s I'stem consisu of five elemenu:
l. Concourse':Corridors - Concourse corridors will run through a bJock f rom building face
to building fa e conneciing to a skyway bridge. The primary �ublic purpose of such concourse
corridors is th� accommodation oi pedestrian traveJ from point :o point, and as such, a
s:andard widt of l2'0" is established for su� e)ements.
2, h'odes - N des are the points of intersection of several cancourse corridors andfor
- the location o z vertical access facility. At such poinu, pedestrian traffic is likely to
be heavier an moving in varying directions, cfirec�iona! decisions are rnade, and other
• ac;ivities ma �e oc�vrring. S�ch nodes m��st cle�.rly possess a e�sign identity and eharacter
sep�r�ting th m from abutting pFivate areas, �nd must be primari!y or�ented to the public
purpose of ac ommodating pedesvian travel in tne skyway system, including orientation, '
airection cnar� es, and congregation or, vertic�l movement to s►reet level. The siZe �.nd
:.� , ca�figuration f the nooe will be dependent u�on :he number of concourse corridors intersecting
�its lo�ztion w� hin the downtown znd the overall skyway system, arrd the amount and nature
of anzicipateo'i pedestrian activity within the node. The node m�s: be large enough.te
accommooate anticipatea pedestrian activity and to constitute a special area of importance
witnin the ov� all skyway system. Therefore, a wider than 12-foot standard concourse �
r .. ' �tea ��ill be r�ouired, where possib)e, at one major node in each bJock and may be necessary
��t other node� Secondary nodes tnay also occur in some instences, especially at points . �
of verti�al ac ess to the street. �C'here appropri�te, such are�s sh�ll also have a width
wi der tha.n th norm al 12 f eet appropriate f or concourse corridors.
3. Bri�9es - ridges generally span streets and sidev.��lks be;w�een property lines and perform
• esser�tiall}� th sar��e public function as concourse corrido:s; therefore, the bridges will be .
buil: v.�ith a st nddrd clear ��iath of 12'0". Also, the City of Saint Paul currently requires -
� e minir��um br oge height clearance of 17'4" at the center of tne street which it sp3ns.
brioges may s �n private property but must connect to an acceptable segment of ti�e basic
skyway syste , giving access to a pu�lic street o: o►�er public property. Brid�es v.�ill be
( uf a cor�sisten design throughout the downto�.•n �rea, �onsisting basicall�� of exposed steel

witRin the buil ing, which are necessary to a�corr,modate the bridge. The City wiil not
be financially spansible for such increased structure to support thF bric+ge, nor will the
City build inde encient supporu for the br.ic�ge at ei:her end�at iu expense.
' C u'ith respect t bridge services, the building owner or developer will design and connect
the mechanica� and electric�l systems of its b�il�ings to the bridges ano supply to the btidge
facilities the n cessary heat, cooled air; a.nd elecvical power from the mechanical and . .
electrical syst ms of its buildings, unless the buil�ing owner or developer is advised by the
. ., City that, for specific bridge, a previously constructed building'already contains such .
. facilities. Wh rc a bridge connects the improvements of one developer or building owner
with that of other developer or building owner, each party so connecteo shall be responsible
for agreeing a' to how they will share the cost of providing the required mechanical and
electrical ser ces to the bridge. •Such a cost-sharing agreement must be reached by the
affectec parti s and submiTted to the City for its approval prior to the start of 6ridge c�nstrucl
For brid�es in e�� builoings for wh�ch the Jocation is determined at the time of working �

The building owner or developer must agree to ret�in the services of its architect to provide .
inf ormation, drawings, documents, and to spend the time necessary with the City's atchitect
in order to coordinate the provision of�mechanica! and elec:rical facilities to the bridgt
and to resolve all structural, aesthetic and related rna::ers relative to bridge connections.
All such design, consultation and coordination will be accomplished in a timely manner
so as to permit construction of the bridge as soon as ►h� two buildings to which the bridge
conne�u are capable oi receiving the bridge.
�. Vertical Access Facilities - Vertical access facili�ies will be installe� by the benefitting
building owner or developer at no cost to the City. Existing vertical access f acilities
wil! be used wherever passible. The City Council may, at iu soIe and final determination,
require the installati�n of escalators or elevators as pzrt of the skyway system. The benefitting
buiJding owner or developer will pay t.he costs of such vertical access facilities.
S. Directional Si�ns - The City will pay for the manuiacture of �11 iliurr�inated directional
=- sign.boxes and fates within buildings. The ber�efitting buileing owner or developer will C
pay all cosu f or supports, electrical service, installation, operation, maintenance, repair �
and re�tacement o� such signs. Such dire�tional signs sh�ll be installed by t;�e building owner
or developer prior to the opening of the skyway bridge, or bridges, f or public use. �
..6. h�reship Determinations - If a benefitting building owner can show to the satisfaetion
+ of the City that the costs noted above constitute an economic and financial hardship, the
City may consider financial assistance to any building owner (other tl�n a developer) in
an amount not to exceed the market value of the square footage of tha► part of the building •� •
which is required for second-level skyway easement purposes. Develope�s shall not be eligible
for such�harciship determination. As used in this sec:ion, developer sha!1 mean that person,
� • .partnerst�ip, joint venture, or corporation who is construc:ing a building or building addition .
to which a skyway bridge will be connected.
In cases w�here the modification oi mechanical and elecvi�cal equipment in a building proves �
ecenomically infeasible, the City will consider providing the necessary mechanical and
eJectric�J equipment as part of the skyway bridge. The City will make ine final deterrnination
as t� ���etner modification of inechanical and elec:rical equipment is, in f�act, economically
� infe�si�Je. The City Councii will m�ke the �i•nal de�ermination on all such hardship cdses.

to the building owt� r, preliminary plans and cost estimates therefor will be submitted
fo� zpproval by th� City. In no event shall the City provide monies unoer the provisions
of this oocument f r improvemenu which are not clearly identifiable as part of the skyway
system. Tne cost stimates provided by the owner will include the estimated square foot _
cost of all finishes integral to the area of the skyway system as set f orth in Section F. .
Such cost iniorma ion shail included estimated costs for approved vertical access facilities
to be provioed by he owner. If the building owner undertakes to `:�ve any of the above
improvements don� by a conuactor other than the con:ractor being reteined by the City
to do the bridge c nstruction, zhe City will reimburse the building owner only for actual �

1. Skyway System Symbol - A.graphic symbol hzs been developed for the skyway system. � �
Such symbol shall be used to indicate the location of the skyway system within the building `
in a manner approved by the City. No other use of the symboJ ��ill be permitted. .:
2. Sk}���ay System Graphics - Graphics will play a vital role in orientation in the skyway
syste�n, and through consistency of ciesign and placement, vrill also cons:itute a vital element
in achieving skyway system identity. The City will be responsible f or the design and location
. of all skyway system graphics; the types of graphics and general location criteria are as
f ollo��s:
(a) Directional Si�ns - Directional signs are the largest �nd most conspicuous signs in
the skyway system. They are used to give oirections to streeu and to major buildings
in the skyway system. All directional signs will be attached to concourse ceitings
{or suspenoed f rom the ceilings, depending on ceiling heigh►), will be perpendicular
to the axis of the concourse area in which they are located 4nd will be the only such
signs to be mounted in this manner. The most impor:ant of such signs will be illuminated.
The building owner wil! provide: 1) support f or tne directionaJ signs above the ceiling;
2) eJectri�aJ services to the signs; 3) the pendanu which connect the signs to the structure
• above the ceiling. The City has developed standard designs for the direction�.l-signs �
and will advise the developer or building owner of the spe�ific location of the pendants
' and signs. �
�(b) Maps and Route Directories - Wall-mounted or free standing maps and
' route dire�tions of the skyway system will be placed in prominent locations
at the head of vertica! access facilities, within nodes, or in other appropriate
locations so that the pedestrian may, together with the directional signs,
determine tne skyway route to be used in order to arrive easily and quickly
�t a desired location. �
' . 3. Skyv.�ay Equip�nent - To achieve pro�ninence and identity for rnajor node areas, the building
o�.�ner, witn the ap�roval of the City, is encouraged to provide skyway equipment in and
near the node areas. Such equipment may include sculptures, decorat;ve f�untdins, public
telepnones, public toilets, drinking fountains, kiosks for display of material of public interest,
' benches, trash receptacles, pl�nter boxes and other equipment as approved by the City.
Tne Jocation ai sucn equipment in or near node areas will be determined jointly by the City
and the building owner or developer, based on onaJysis of expected traffic patterns within
the node and to adjacent private areas. The City and the building ov.�ner or developer will
jointly appro`�e the design of all such eleinents to be placed within the skyway system. .

G EASEME�'T REQUIREMENTS
In�order to assure public return for the public investment made in development of the
skyw2y system in the downtown, all areas of the sky�.ay system rnust be Iocated either
on public property or within public easement grante� without consie�ration by the developer
'or building owner. Such easements shall be coterminous with the designated area.s of concourse
corridors and nodes and vertical access f acili�ies; also, shall extend on the ground floor
f rom the f oot of vertical access f acilities to � public sidewe,lk or other public property, '
giving access to a public sidewalk. Such easemenu sh�ll be requiree for both those skyway
^ �. �system elemenu for which the City is responsible and those eleme���s constituting a link
in the basic systern for which private parties may be responsible. The easements will be �•
in f orm satisf actory�to the City and will be limited :o the lif e of the irr.,�rovemenu.consiituting

which the concourse passes. � . ' . .
� SuSject to the following conditions, the developer or b�ilding owner shall have the •right .
• � at �ny time to change the locations of such easements and the easements shall so provide, ,
