Dear Council Memb rs:
I am pleased to p esent proposal recommended by Saint Paul 's new Down own
Riverfront Commis ion to upgrade Lambert's Landing. I 'm sure you have een
as embarrassed as I abou the condition of the Landing, and the image o
Saint Paul that i proje ts to both out of town visitors and our own ci izens.
We plan to perman ntly i prove the Landing in conjunction with rebuilding
Shepard Road. Un ortuna ely, that will take at least three years. I b lieve
it is worth our w ile to make immediate improvements to the Landing, rec gnizing
their temporary n ture. Therefore, I asked the Commission to recommend 'nterim
improvements that could e accomplished by the time river excursion boat
arrive this summe .
I think the River ront C mmission's recommendations are excellent. They are
realistic ideas o what e can do to make physical improvements and to m nage
the Landing. The Commis ion responded to the severe constraints imposed by
Shepard Road and y the udget, recommending a series of administrative nd
physical solution that hould make the Landing a f acility in which the
entire city can t ke pri e.
Please note that any of the actions are already underway. My office is in
contact with the elta Q een Steamboat Co. , other excursion operators an
the towboat opera ors, s curing their cooperation in setting schedules a d
coordinating use f the anding. They have all expressed an eagerness t help.
Perhaps most significant is the action of the Port Authority, which auth rized
$30,000 to make c pital i provements at the Landing. This represents al ost
everything recomm nded by the Riverfront Commission.

HOW TO USE THE GREEN SHEET
The GREEN SHEET has several PURPOSES:
l, to assist in routing documents and in securing required signatures
2. to brief the reviewers of documents on the impacts of approval
3. to help ensure that necessary supporting materials are prepared, and, if
required, attached.
Providing complete information under the listed headings enables reviewers to make
decisions on the documents and eliminates follow-up contacts that may delay execution.
The COST/BENEFIT, BUDGETARY AND PERSONNEL IMPACTS heading provides space to explain
the cost/benefit aspects of the decision. Costs and benefits related both to City
budget (General Fund and/or Special Funds) and to broader financial impacts (cost
to users, homeowners or other groups affected by the action) . The personnel impact
is a description, of change or shift of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions.
If a CONTRACT amount is less than $10,000, the Mayor's signature is not required,
if the department director signs. A contract must always be first signed by the
outside agency before routing through City offices.
Below is the preferred ROUTING for the five most frequent types of documents:
• CONTRACTS (assumes authorized budget exists)
1. Outside Agency 4. Mayor
2. Initiating Department 5. Finance Director
3. City Attorney 6. Finance Accounting
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER (Budget Revision) ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS (all others)
1. Activity Manager 1. Initiating Department
2. Department Accountant 2. City Attorney

SUPPORTING MATERIALS. In the ATTACHMENTS section, identify a11 attachments. If the
Green Sheet is well done, no letter of transmittal need be included (unless signing
such a letter is one of the requested actions) .
Note: If an agreement requires evidence of insurance/co-insurance, a Certificate of
Insurance should be one of the attachments at ti.me of routing.
Note: Actions which require City Council Resolutions include:
l. Contractual relationship with another governmental unit.
2. Collective bargaining contracts.
3. Purchase, sale or lease of land.
4. Issuance of bonds by City.
5. Eminent domain.
6. Assumption of liability by City, or granting by City of indemnification.

INTER M IMPROVEMENTS TO LAMBERT'S LANDING
INTRODUCTION
Larrbert's Landing, the hi torical site of Saint Paul 's Lower Landing at t e foot of
- Jackson Street, is one of the city's most interesting spots. Throughout aint Paul 's
history, the Landi g has een the city's major contact point with the Mis issippi
River. It has con inuall served the city well , servicing the old packet boats, and
providing the dock ng spa e and services for all commercial river traffic that was
destined to Saint aul as the head of navigation on the river.
More recently, Lam ert's anding has been used for two major purposes. T e large
towboats, known as "line oats", which guide the big barge tows into and ut of Saint,
Paul from the lowe Missi sippi , use the Landing for reprovisioning and s rvicing
between tows. Dur ng the navigation season, there are line boats at the anding on
a daily basis, ref eling; reprovisioning; receiving repairs or a quick cl an-up;
giving the crew a ittle and R before heading back downstream. Rarely re the
line boats in the arbor or more than 12 or 16 hours at a time. But the e are
many of them, and he Lan ing is in constant use.
A second major use of th Landing is the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, cruise
company whose two ajor b ats, the Delta ueen and Mississippi ueen, are well-known
and admired around the wo ld. The "Queens" use the Landing as a destinat on point
on their 2, 3, 4 a d 7 day excursions on the Upper Mississippi . Saint Pa 1 is as
far upstream as th Queens can navi�ate. As such, the city is a convenie t embarkation/
disembarkation and reprovi ion point for the boats and passengers.
On their current s hedules the Queens use the Landing only six times a s ason. Like
the towboats, thei money 's made on the river, not in port. They are at the Landing
less than 15 hours, in whi h time they disembark up�ound passengers, repr vision and
refuel the boats, c ean, a d collect a new complement of passengers for t e trip
downriver.
Few people in Saint Paul r alize the significance of Lambert's Landing. H'storically
and culturally, the city a d its river are joined at the Landing. The cit was founded
at that site, and g ew as he point on the river where river passengers an cargo were
collected to be bro ght do nstream and were distributed to the Upper Midwe t when they
came upriver. Unli e most historic activities, this port function is stil carried
on today, and is a ajor a pect of Saint Paul 's contemporary association w'th the
Mississippi River.
Economically, the t wboat nd cruise boat operations contribute millions o dollars
to the regional eco omy. he Landing is a key cog to these industries, as it serves
the basic needs of he boa s. And while the comnodities and tourism indus ries
- generally benefit t e regi n, the boats also generate a significant amount of business
in Saint Paul . A t pical isit by the Mississippi ueen puts 400-500 tour sts into
the city's restaura ts and hotels, plus 500,000 - $600,000 into local laun ry services,
- fuel and food suppl ers, e gine repairs, etc.
Given the importanc of th Landing to Saint Paul , it is surprising and di appointing
to see it in its cu rent p sical condition. Suffice it to say that it is deteriorated
and does not presen a ver good image to first time visitors to the city. In a
November 5, 1984 co umn (a tached) St. Paul Dispatch columnist Joe Soucher y summed
it up best: "I fel embar assed," he quoted a Saint Paul native who rode he
Mississippi Queen f om St. ouis.
The Landing has suffered from benign neglect. There is little doubt that the current
condition of the Landing is both embarrassing to the city, as well as dangerous to
the people who use it. It is an objective of Saint Paul 's Riverfront Initiative to
address this situation, and to recommend what the city can do to make the Landing
something of which Saint Paul can be proud.
ASSIGNMENT TO THE RIVERFRONT COMMISSION
For a long time, Saint Paul has had plans to relocate Shepard Road back away from
the Landing in order to provide more room at the Landing site for passengers and
provisioning of boats. This proposal is still laudable, but in reality it is 3-4
years from realization. While it is worthwhile to talk about and work toward this
long-term solution, the Mayor has asked the Riverf ront Commission to recommend interim,
short-term actions (i .e. in place by the time the cruise boats return this coming
summer that would make Lambert's Landing a more attractive, inviting area and an
attribute in promoting the city.
In analyzing the matter, the Commission studied the following basic questions:
l. What/who/how can we do to "clean-up" the Landing?
2. What/who/how can we do to provide services to passengers or towboat crew,
or to otherwise make them feel welcome?
3. What/who/how can we promote the Landing as an interesting attraction, both
to arriving passengers and Saint Paul citizens?
4. What/who/how can we promote the city on the excursion and towboats?
5. How can any of this be done, given the severe physical constraints and
safety considerations imposed by Warner Road?
6. How can any of this be done, given budget constraints?
Answers to these questions form the basis of the conclusions and recommendations
presented in this report.
SAFETY CONSIDERATION: DISCUSSION
One cannot consider any recommendations for the operation or design of Lambert's
Landing without addressing public safety. Because of narrow sidewalks and the
very heavy traffic on Shepard Road, it is impossible to accommodate even the minimal
number of people who would normally be at the site when the cruise boats are in the
harbor. The Public Works and Police Departments go to extraordinary means to redirect
vehicle and pedestrian traffic to insure public safety. While they are satisfied that,
given what they have to work with, they have a program that provides for as much safety
as possible, both departments agree that it is far from an ideal situation.
There are several implications to this:
a) Any changes to the function or appearance of the Landing should i�mprove
the situation. Conversely, the city should not consider anything be done
that makes an already difficult situation worse.
b) In its current location, it will be difficult to recommend anytning that
promotes large crowds greeting the boats.

�����
c) The Commission consid red moving the Landing site to a safer, more s acious
location. Thi is di cussed below in the discussion that follows.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: RECOMM NDATIONS
1. The Landing sh uld re ain in its current location at Shepard Road and
Jackson Street (For detailed discussion of this, see following disc ssion. )
In doing so, t e city should accept that for this interim period, any
physical impro ements will not make the Landing any safer for pedestr in
traffic, but t at mea ures can be taken to manage vehicular traffic t at
least make the Landin more comfortable and less threatening to pedes rians.
2. The city shoul encou age the Delta Queen Steamship Company to schedu e
the visits of he cruise boats to Saint Paul at times when Shepard Ro d
traffic is min mized.
3. The Public Wor s Depa tment should redirect Shepard Road traffic when the
cruise boats a e in t harbor. If done in conjunction with a better boat
schedule (see ecorrmen ation #2 above) , the west-bound traffic can be
directed from hepard oad to Sibley Street, Kellogg Boulevard, Excha ge
Street, and Ch stnut S reet, back to Shepard Road. East-bound traffi
can then be di rted o to the west-bound lanes at Jackson and Sibley treets,
thereby diminis ing tr ffic at the Landing by 50%, and two full lanes.
This would pro 'de a 1 rger staging area next to the boats to be used
for provisions nd pas enger drop-off.
(See Figure 1, elow)
ALTERNATIVE SITES: DIS USSION
As a spin-off of the di cussio on safety, the Commission studied several alte native
sites on which to tempo arily elocate the Landing. This was done on the reco nition
that there might be an opport nity to provide a site that was large enough to
accommodate large numbe s of v sitors, parking, and provisioning space. Three
potential sites were st died, ut were ultimately rejected (see Figure 2, belo ) .
Generally, all three ha simil y drawbacks. It was simply a matter of degree. The
disadvantages stem from the fa t that an alternative site must be located east of
the Robert Street bridg , on t e descending right (south) bank of the river. his
puts all sites in River iew In ustrial Park. At the present time, none of the
three function as a lan ing. 11 would require significant costs to do the
requisite dredging, uti ity connections and other site preparation necessary t
convert the sites into river at landing. Only after that is done can aesth tic
improvements be made th t woul address the aesthetic issues which are importa t
at Lambert's Landing. hese co ts range from $110,000 to $292,500.
_ Furthermore, the sites re all t some distance from the central business dist ict.
The Commission believes hat mo ing the Landing from the business district (ev n on
a temporary basis) woul be a d'stinct disadvantage to the passengers, to the
- steamboat company, and t the i age the city is trying to project of its relationship
with the river for devel pment urposes. In addition, the costs associated wi h a
"temporary" relocation w uld be difficult to justify as an interim measure. Th y
would imply a permanent orr�nitm nt to the new Landing site, even after Shepard oad
is relocated.

APPENDIX B
The primary purpose of this report is to examine the basic requirements in development
of an lternative Riverboat Landing Area and its cost implications. To this end,
three �asic questions will be addressed:
What should this landing area do?
Where should it be located?
How much will it cost to develop?
WHAT SHOULD THE LANDING AREA DO?
The landing facility should be designed to the appropriate form and scale to
accommodate the necessary functional aspects of the .r-iverboat excursion uses as
well as the everyday needs of a barge/tugboat facility. Ideally, the f acility
should provide sufficient space and layout for activities related to the boats
including provisioning, refueling, taking on of water, refuse disposal , cleaning
and servicing, etc. The landing must also provide for the functional aspects of
passenger loading, with service for the crews, support personnel and visitors.
Equally important to the functional questions are the social/aesthetic concerns.
The landing must also promote the IMAGE �AND EXPERIENCE people should reasonably
expect when arriving at, or departing from, the Capitol City of our State. The
landing should also serve as a special "PLACE", where the community can experience
the Mississippi and celebrate Saint Paul 's history with the river.
The adjacent environment should provide the passen�ers, crew and river
participants with a diverse and interesting range of historical , cultural and
social activities to explore and participate in. The landing should not simply
be a point where the river excursion ends, but rather, a major node where the
boat "arrives into" the City of Saint Pual , the grand finale of the trip. The
landing could become a gateway to the richness of experince to be found in Saint
Paul . To this end, the landing area should be able to utilize, to the greatest
extent possible, the existing social infrastructure, preferably via the pedestrian
mode.
WHERE SHOULD THE LANDING BE?
Physically, the landing site must be on a stretch of channel with sufficient depth
and bottom slope to allow riverboats, barges and tugboats close to shore docking.
It should be clear of surface plan obstructions, free from vertical obstruction
or height limitations and have a fixed permanent platform sufficient in strength
to withstand fluctuating river conditions. A designed development for the excursions
and public uses would dictate that certain infrastructure is also necessary. These
uses require the availability of access roads, internal circulation and manuevering
space, some parking and stacking area for taxi service, buses and automobiles, access �
to storm and sanitary sewers, portable water and electric and telephone service. Each
of the three sites examined has access to or potential to develop these critical
elements. The cost to provide these services to each site will vary due to existing
site conditions.

�����
Psychologically, the iting f the landing facility is crucial to its succes as
a public amenity and o the xperience of the participant. The landing site must
be sufficiently to cl se to n "activity core" to entice interaction between the
two. The skyline of owntow is a particular-ly important view to arriving p ssengers
and should be emphasi ed. T e precise point of arrival should be directly c nnected
to this view and to t e acti ity areas adjacent.
It is quite clear fro the f rst two factors that none of the three sites ex mined
is a suitable site fo the 1 nding, regardless of cost. The area in nener 1 , the
industrial park, is a inapp opriate place to develop any specific site for his
purpose.
The following represe ts an bbreviated opportunity/constraint analysis of t e three
sites with associated costs. Though it is considered that any of the three ites
would be a poor selec ion, c sts to develop a moderate solution were examine .
They are as follows:
SITE 1 AMHOIST DOCK S TE '
Problems -
1) Enter ci�y op osite owntown
2) Dock in indus rial a ea/poor image
3) Must use vehi ular t ansport in and out of site and to downtown
4) Access road a jacent are poor physically/visually
5) Must share si e with industrial user
6) Site can be dified only to a certain extent and adequate screening
would be virt ally i possible to provide
Opportunities -
1) Good view of kyline across river
2) Solid/level d ck sur ace
3� Marginal acce s by c r-cab-limo-bus
4) Access for se vice v hicles acceptable
5) Access for fu 1 and ervice trucks
6) Water main av ilable
7) Storm and san tary f irly close
8? Electric and elepho e access relatively easy
Estimated cost to p ovide ewer, water, electricity, phone service, clean p area
suitable for landin , provide access for passengers from parking area, dev lop
small parking area, upgrad roads to the site, provide small structure and
landscape:
_ $110,000.00 (est. )
-15-
SITE 2 BARGE DEPOT SITE
Advantages -
1) Storm water relatively close
2) Area suitable for small parking adjacent
3) Large area behind levee to develop
Problems -
1) No sanitary sewer near
2) No water near
3) Topography bad - poor access levee
4) Difficult to load fuel, supplies, water and passengers
5) Poor sense of arrival/departure to Saint Paul
6) No pedestrian access anywhere
7) Considerable distance from downtown
8) No adjacent amenities - industrial area
9) Undeveloped area - no landscaping, minimal infrastructure in place
10) Roadway to site would need construction
Develop sewer, water, electricity, phone service, access road, parking, passenger
access, dock, structure and landscaping:
$234,000.00 (est. )
SITE 3 HOLMAN FIELD SITE
Advantages -
1) Water, storm and sanitary relatively close
2) Parking quite close
3) Roads to site good
4) Good bus/vehicular access
5) Potential for upgrading steps and entry area
Problems -
1) Internal roads need work
2) No pedestrian access
3) Poor view of Saint Paul
4) Poor sense of arrival/departure
5) Landscaping difficult due to flight path -
6) Costly to dredge harbor
7) Ancillary activities do not exist due to industrial area
Provide sewer, water, electric and phone service, shelter, repair steps, landing
dock, dredge and landscape:
$292,500.00 (est. )

OF THE CITY OF ST. PAUL
Memorandum
TO: Board of Com issione s DATE: Feb. 4, 1985 -
Meeting Febr ary 19, 1985
,
FROM: E. A raµ
���y1
SUBJECT: �MBERT LAND NG IMP OVEMENTS - RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT
' The Port Aut ority as for many years been responsible for the Lam ert
Landing area at the Mississippi River and the foot of Sibley Stree on
Warner Road.
We currently provid and pay for the water service for the riverbo ts and
permit them o dock there. Some time ago there was a small parkin lot
constructed cross arner Road and boat service is handled directl from
the landing tself. Because of the activity, it sometimes creates
hazardous tr ffic c nditions. The Riverfront Commission and the C ty of
St. Paul are recomm nding certain improvements not only to facilit te the
handling of raffic but to present a better image to those persons visiting
St. Paul abo rd the Delta Queen and other vessesls that dock in th area.
This would i clude cleanup and some repairs to the landing, appr priate
identificati n sign relative to identifying the Port of St. Paul, and
landscaping heir p rking facility.
There will b other steps taken by the City to provide short term elief of
traffic cong stion hen the cruise boats are in town by means of d tours,
etc. In dis ussion with the Riverfront Commissio�, Public Works, and
other City d partme ts it has been determined that the landscaping, the
improvements, the a propriate signage could be accomplished for
approximatel $30,0 0. Additional costs of murals on the concrete
abutments an thing of this type would be funded from other sour s.
Staff of the Port A thority has informed the Commission of its lo g-
standing res onsibi ity for Lambert Landing and would recommend t at the
Port Authority fund the $30,000 for improvements and continue to upply the
water, provi ing th City took over the responsibility for all fu ure
maintenance f the improvements at Lambert Landing. Since this i another .
gateway to o r city and since it involves basically the gateway f om a
river comme ce sta point, we are recommending that the Commissio approve
the appropriation f om the Property Sale and Rental Fund of $30,0 0 to -
provide the e impr ementvs.
It is our i tentio that when the next fleeting leases are renego iated
that a smal incre se be included to provide for the amortization of this
investment d the provision for water supplies at the landing.
