A. PURPLSE A(�D GENERAL DESCRIPT10n'
� Beginnirg v.�ith the Downtown Urban Renewal Project Area---!�1inn. R-20, the Housing and
C: kedevelopment Authority of the City of Saint Paul has c+eveloped a skyway system in
�4'
^' downtown Saint Paul. � �
�
`"`�
� As used herein, the term "skyway system" is inclusive and encompasses the following:
ll) concourse corridors, (2) node points in the concourse corridors, including, where feasible,
one major node central to each block, generally at the point where several concourse corridors
intersect, i3) brides spanning streets, (4) certain vertical access facilities connnecting the
concourse corridors to public streets or other public property. The primary pu�rpose of this '
skyway system is to divert pedestrians from the minimal width street levet sidewalks, enabling
pedestrian traffic to move in an enclosed environment protected from adverse weather
and vehicular traffic. The skyway system has significantly reduced pedestrian-vehicle conflicts
at street level, particularly during periods of peak traffic, thereby permitting a smoother
flow of vehicular traffic ano greater safety for the pedestrian.
- - Another important benefit of the skyway systerri is the oppertunit.y afforded developers __ _.
to provide shop and office space ahutting the concourse. In the use o� such shop space,
tne �ublic will be unhindered by adverse weather conditians and traffic, thereby promoting
the desirability of shopping and doing business in the connected buildings and contributing
to the �conomic strength of Downtown Saint Paul. The skyway system, through the efforts
of th2 develo�ers, also may contain sculpture, water displays, artwark, and otner �temenu
corl�ributing to the aesthetic and cul�ural enrichment of th� citizens of the City, thereby
�ecomir�g �•fo��.ts of activity in thb do:vntown area. The general lo�ation of th� skyway •
sy-st�rr�, including concourse r_�rridors., nodes, vertica! access facili�ties and bridges 3re

E. UEVELOPh-IENT PRE�vi15E5 AND CONSIDERAT10N5
Incarporation of the public skyway syst�m into pr'svate deveiopment and huilding ownership
,
presents some unique implications for both the public, owners, and redevelopers. VG'ith
recognition of the public and private interests involved in the skyv,�ay system, certain -
premi5es have been established relating to the system, ancJ tnese pr�rnises dre basic to
tF�e rebulatio�s and•development criteria established for t�re skyway system �s set forth
in succeeuing sections. The follow•ing pcemises apply to the entice skya�ay system, even
though portions of the system may be built '�y private building awners or develupers: ��
�...� � :
� . . - -2- ��= d'�=/���
!. The sk����ay syste�r► will be entirely enclosed and capabte of being h�ated and cooled �
to a temperature compacable to that maintained in ofiice and retail areas. The term
"enclased" shall mean prutected from the weather, though the area af the sicyway system
� need r�ot necessarily be confined by its own walls. The concourse corridars an� bridges
C';
� v.�iil be constructed at a standard width a.f 12'0", with a larger area to be develape� ::t . _
� nodal points. Those segrnents passing th:ougn existing improvements to remain witl also
� be at a stan�ard width of 12'0", except where in the judgment Qf the City, physicat limitatians
�
of existing buildin�s, such as column spacing, fixed vertical element locations, window
opening, etc., render achievement of a 12'G" width impractical, or would constitute an
undue hardship to the ownzr. In such instances, a lesser width may be allowed.
2. The success, that is the dpgree of utilization of the skyway systern, witt be directIy
related to the eonvenience and comfort it affords pedestrians in the downtown.
3. Any and all public expenditures for the skyway system must be Iimited only to thosz
improvements that are of public benefit: While adjacent buiidings may derive peripherai
benefit from a public skyway abutting their properties, no segment oi the skyway system .
� o� its facilities that are of primary benefit_to private interes�s can be canstructed w�th _ � �
public monies. The City shall reserve to itself the sole and final determination as to what �
im�rovements are of public benefit.
4. The sKyway system must have a design identity of its own, distinguishing it from other
areas �•ith put�Iic access within buitdi�gs �s an aid to citiaens in finding their way throughout
the system. Further, where public funds are expended for the skyway system, it must
be passible to readily identify those areas publicly provided so that the citizens are cognizant
of their right to use such areas. The system must possess directional clarity and be accessibie,
icentifiable and continuous.
5. The skyway system must functionally and visually help to unify the downtown. it s�hould
be urban in character and should provide a variety of special experiences; it shauld not .
be of monolithic design throughout its length. The skyu�ay s}�stem should possess a variet.y -
of floor to ceiling heights and abut spaces of varying design and activities. Ne��ertheless,
it must stil! possess enough common elements to provide the di�ectiona! clarity, co;�tinuity `
anc identity required.
�
. �- �.�-���
C. SKYV�`AY SYSTE�ti�I ELE1�lENTS DEFIhED
�
� The skyway system consists of five elements:
�"?
O
C�1 1. Concourse Corridors - Concourse corridors will run through a block from building face
� to building face connecting to a skyway bridge. The primary public purpose of such concourse �
corridors is the accommodation of pedestrian travel from point to point, and as such, a
standard width of 12'0" is established for such elements.
2. Nafes - Nodes are the paints of intersection of several cancourse corridars and/or
the location of a vertical access facility. At such points, pedestrian traffic is likely to
be heavier and moving in varying directions, directional decisions are made, and other �
activities may de occurring. Such nodes must clearly possess a design identity and character
separating them from abutting private areas, and must be primarily oriented to the public
purpose of accommodating pedestrian travel in the skyway system, including orientation,
direction cnanges, and congregation or vertical movement to street tevel. The size and
configuration of the node will be dependent upon the number af concourse corridars intersecting
its location within the downtown and the overall skyway system, and the amount and nature
. of anticipated pedestrian activity within the node. The node mdst be large enough to � _.
' accommodate anticipated pedestrian activity and to constit�te a special area of importance
a�ithin the overall skyway system. ?herefore, a wider than 12-foot standard concourse
area will be required, where possible, at one major node in each block and may be necessary
at other nodes. Secondary nodes rnay also occur in�some iristances, especially at points
of vertical access to the street. V��here appropriate, su�h areas �hall�also have a width
wider than the normal 12 feet appropriate for concourse.corridors.
3. ,Bridges - Bridges generally span streets and sidewalks betwe�n.property Iines and perform
essentially the sarne public function as concourse corridors; therefore, the bridges will be
built witti a standard clear wiath of 12'0". Also, the City af Saint Paul currently requires �
a minirr�um bridge t�eight clearance of 17'4" at the center of the street which it spans.
i�ridges may span private property but must connect to an acceptable segment of the.basic
�skyway system, giving access to a public street or other p�blic property. Bridges will be
of a consistent design throughout the downtown area, consisting basically of exposed steel
vierendeel trusses painted deep brown, with terrazzo floors and an egg crate grid luminous
ceilinb. � • �

, - , . _ -4- J (��5-��� . .
4. E��idge S�ipport Strl.�ctures and Services - E3ridge support structures vriti support the brid�es
ct ei:her end and will be containeci within the buildings unless it is struc?urally ne�essary
to �rovide DClCidC' SU��O:"ts independent of the building. E3ridge services are definEd as those
�j electricat ano mechanical systems which provide heating, co�ling and elec.zrical service
,��` to the bri�oe. Also incl�ded is the roof drainage system. _� _
� '
O
C''� S. Vertical Access Facilities - Vertical access facilities in the form of either stairs or
� esczt�tors provide access to the concourse nodes, corridors, and the bridges from the street.
Vertical access between the concourse and street Ievel will be required tnroughout the �
skyway system with escalatars being required at the principai points vf access to th° skyway
system. Generally, vertical access must be provided at or near each end of the bridges
crossing streets and may also be require� at �ther Io�ations within the system. Elevatocs
will also be re�uired within each building in the skyway system to provide verticai access
for the t�andicapped. .
D. COST SHARING AND FUNDInG POLICY
I _ The fol�owing.cost sharing and funding polie}� appties to atl skyway system elements (concourse
__

--___ _-- -
corridors, nodes, bridges, bridge support structures and services and vertical access facilities)
not unaer a construction contract at ihe tin��e of the adoption of tF�is policy by the City
Council, unless otherwise specif ically exempted f rom this policy by the Ci*y Council. Sucf�
skyway system elements specifically exempted by the City Council wi!! b� covere� by
the CPneral Policy Statement - Pedestrian Concourse System-Downto�vn CJrban Renewa!
Proi�ct-i�-linnesota R-20, as adopted by the Housing and Redevelopment f3uthority of the
City of Saint Paul, :�iinnr:sota, Revised August, 1972.
This cost sharing and f�nding policy is considered to be consistent with St. Paut's adopted
Ca�ital Allocation Policies. The skyway system is considered to be a Service System Improvecr.�^.t
and any proposai for an addition to the existing skyway system must be based on the merits
ot each proposal as to its economic benefit to the City. The sale and finai determination
for eacM addition to the existin� skyway system will rest with the City Council.
� �
. , � . � . -s-. . �=�a�-/��
1. bridges - The City will pay not more than one-half the total cost of each skyway bridge,
including construction costs, architect's f ees and other associated costs. The exact amount
will be negotiated between appropriate C:ty staff and benefitting building owners or developers.
� The City Council will make the final determination on the exact c�st to be borne by the
� City.
� .
C'� �
� 2. Concourse Corridors and hodes - Benefitting building owners or developers will pay
all costs for constru�ting, remocieling or reconstructing their buildings to provide acceptable
concourse corridors and nodes through their buildings.
,
3 Bridge Support Structures and Services - The developer or building owner at eaCh end
of the bridge will be responsible and will pay all costs for the provision of structural supports
witnin the building, which are necessary to accommodate the hridge. The City wiil not
be financially responsible for such increased structure to support the bridge, nor will the ,
City build independent supports for the bridge at either end at its expense.
With re5pect to bridge services, the building owner or developer will design and connect
the mechanical and electrica! systems of its buildings to the bridges and supply to the bridge --
facilities the necessary heat, cooled air; and electrical power from the mechanica! and
elecuical systems of its buildings, unless the building owner or developer is advised by the
City that, for a specific bridge, a previously constructed building'already contains such
facilities. VVhere a bridge connects the improvements of one deveioper or building ownec
�with that of another de�reloper or building owner, each party so connected shall be responsible
fcr ag�?�ing as to how they will share the �os� Qf providing the required methanica! and
elec:r�ca! services to the bridge. Such a cost-sharin� agreement must b� reached by the
a�fecte� parties and submitted to th� City for its approva! prior to the st�rt of bridge construction.
.
For briGges�in nev.- builaings for which the location is determined at the time of working .
drawing preparation, the developer's wocking drawing and specification will include me�hanical
and electrical equipment design, location and connectians to supply necessary services to
the briages. For bridges where precise location is not yet deter-mined at the tirr�e of wocking
� drawing completion on the building, the developec must agree to retain the servrce of.i.ts
architect, at the time such bridge location is determined, to provide ne�essary ae5ign services �
as stateo above.

Th�• buildi�g a«�ner or developer must agree to retain the services of its architect to provide
info:iTl3t101� drawinbs, documents, and to spen� the time necessary with the City`s architeci
in or�e� to coordinate th° provision of inechanical and electrical facilities to ihe bridge
�,�,,, and to resolve aIl structural, aesthetic and related matters relative to bridge connections. ` :
e'S
C�
� All such design, consultatio�� and coordination will be accompiished in a timety manner
� so as to permit construction of the bridge as soon as the two buildings to which the bridoz
C�
connects are capable of receiving the 5ridge,
4. �'erticaI f�ccess Facilities - Vertical a�cess facilities will be ir�stalled by the beneiitting
buildin� owner or developer at no cost to the City. Existing vertical aceess facitities
wili be used wherever possible. The City Council may, at its soIe and final determinatior�,
require the installatio� of escalators or elevators as part of the skyway system. The benzfitting
building owner or developer will pay the costs of such vertical �ccess facilities.
S. Directional Si�ns - The City will pay for the manufacture of aii ili_uminated directional
sion boxes and faces within buildings. The benefi_tting building owner or developer wi41 =- -
pay all costs far supports, electrical service, installation, eperatian, maintenance, repair
and rep;acement of such signs. Such dicectional signs shal! be installed by th� buildin� awner
or d�veloper pcior to the opening of the skyway bri�ge, or hridges, f or public use.
6. Hardship Determinations - If a be�efitting building ownei can show to the satisfaction
of the City that the costs noted above constitute an econamic and fin�ncial hardship, the
City may consider financial assistance to any building owner (other than a devetoper) in
� a� amo�nt not to exceed the market value of the square footage of that part of the buiiding ' �
which is required for second-level skyway easement purp�ses. Develo�ers sha!! not be etigible
for such hardship determination. As used in this section, d°veloper shaI! mean that person,
par�nerst�ip, joint venture, or corporation wha is constructing a building or building addition
to �+hich a sky�vaf bridge will be connected.
In cases where the modification of inechanical and electriccai equipment in a building pr.oves �
Eccnomically infeasible, the City will consider providing the necessary mech3nica! and
electrical equiprnent as part of the sk}'way bridge. The City will ma�e the final determination
as t� ��het�er modificatios� of inechanical and electrical equipment is, in fact, econornicall}�
ir:easi�le. The City Council v.�ill make the final determination on ait such hardship cases.

E. RE UIRER4ENT5 FOR EXPEhUITURE 4F CITY FUNDS IN HARDSHIP CASES
1. Cost Estimates and Reimbursements - As requirements to the expenditure of City
monies for skyway system construction where the City determines there is a hardship
`v to the building owner, preliminary plans and cost estimates therefor will be submitted � •
C'°;
� for appraval by the City. In no event shall the City provide monies under the provisions
� of this document for improvements which are not clearly identifiable as part of the skyway
r j system. The cost estimates provided by the owner will include the estimated square foot
cost of all finishes integral to the area of the skyway system as set forth in Section F.
Such cost information shall included estimated costs for approved vertical access facilities
to be provided by the owner. If the building owner undertakes to have any of the above '
improvements done by a contractor othe� than the contractor being retiained by the City
to do the bridge constructian, 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 of Plans - Plans shall be submitted by the buitding owner for approval by
the City, indicating all materials and finishes used in the skyway system and the architectural
� manner in which the skyway system is separated from abuttiag pri�ate building areas
~ where the concourse occurs within the owner's ouilding. The City will make certain additions
ta such drawings, 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 AND R"�ATERIALS RE�UIREh1ENTS AND STANDARDS
In order to achieve tne design identity, continuity, and ease of orientation rrecessary if
the skyway system is to function effectively, the City has established certain design and
materials requirements for the skyway system. The design of the skyway system within
each block shall aahere to these requirements. With the exception of the design and constructivn
, of directional signs as noted in Section D.S., the developer or building owner shall be responsible
f or all costs of design, construction, installation, maintenance, replacement and repair
- of all items enumerated in this section. , �
�S.
� �:`�� -°� . _- .
, -. , -s- ��s-��� -
, • . .
!. Sk��waZSvs�em S�mbo! - A graphic symboi has been deveIop�d for the s;cyway system.
Suc� symbol shal! be used to indicate the location of the skyw�y system k�ithin the building
in a manner approved by the City. No other use of the symbol wi�! be pe,-mitted.
,� 2. Skyway System Graphics - Graphics will play a vi.al role in orient�tien in the skyway .
C:` system, and through consistency of design and placement, will also ccnstitute a vital element�
�
� in achieving skyway system identity. The City v,�il1 be responsible for the design and Ioc�tion
� of all skyway system gr�phics; the types of graphics and general location criteria are as
� follows:
(a) Directional Signs�- Directional signs are the Iargest and most conspicuous signs in
the sk}�way system. They are used to give directions to streets and to majoc buiidings �
in the skyway system. All dicectional signs will be attached to concourse ceilings �
(or suspended f rom the ceilings, depending on ceiling height), wilt be perpendicular
to the axis of the concaurse area in which they are located and will be the oniy sueh
sign5 to be mounted in this manner. The most important of such signs witi be illuminated.
The buildino owner will provide: 1� support for the dir�ctional signs above the ceiling;
2) electrical services to the signs; 3) the pendants which connect the signs to the struc�ure
_ __ _ _, _
above the ceiling. Th° City has developed standard designs for th° directiorial signs -
and will advise the developer or bui}ding owner of the sp�cific locatio�► of the penddnts
and signs.
(b; (��aps and Route Directories - Wall-mounted or free standing maps and
route directions of the skyway system wilt be placed in prcminent locations
at the �head of vertical access facilities, within nodes, or in other appropriate
locations so that the pedestrian may, together with the directionai signs, �
determine the skyway route to be used in order to arrive easily and quickIy
at a desired location. .
3. Skyway Equipment - To achieve prominence and identity fo: inajor node areas, the building
owner, witn the approval of the City, is encouraged to provide skyv��ay equipment in and
near the node areas. Such equipment may include sculptures, decorative fuuntains, pu5lic
telephones, public toilets, drinking fountains, kiosks for ciisplay of ma:erial of public interest,.
bencnes, trash receptacles, pl�nter boxes and other equipment as approved by ihe City.
Tne loc3tion of such equipmeflt in or near node areas v,•ill be determ:ned jointly by the City
and the buiiding owner or developer, based on analysis of ex�ected traffic patterns w�ithin
the node �nd to adjacent private areas. The City and tne buila:ng o�•ner or de�elc�er wilI
jointly �ppro��e the d::sion of all s.uch eleme�ts to he placed within the sl<y��ay system. �
. . 1 �� -s- � �S i���
. ., . . .
` � • 4. Sk�-�vav Floor �'1laterials - ,Ail skyway bridges will contain terrazzo floors of a brown
and grey chip in a dark matrix (Vznice r�rt tiiarble �'-1036, or equivalent), herein 'referred
to as "skyw•ay terrazzo." The City will require the use of skyway terrazzo in alI or a major
portion of the node to be devetoped central to each block of the sk��way sysiein. Such
use of a constant material to each bridge and central node wilt establish a repetitive rhythrn
of spaces that will aid in achieving identity and continuity for the skyway system. In concourse
corridors running between bridges and nodes, other fiaor mat�riais may be used, though
a consistency of floor material for concourse corridors must be maintained throughout
each building. Skyway terrazzo and the concourse corridor fl�or material may not be
used, unless changed in color tone or texture in private non-skyway building areas in proximity
� to the skyway system where such use would tend to obscure the identification of skyway
� materials with concourse areas. If the building owner chooses to use carpet or other non-
C'� • +
� permanent flooring material for concourse corridors, the building owner must agree to
;,� replace such carpet with new carpet or other material matching as closeIy as possible the
original in color and texture at such intervals as may be determined by the City. "
5. Concourse Ceilings and Lighting - Concourse ceilings shatl be of the same materials
throughout any one building. �tilinimum ceiling height shall be 8'0", and no signs or other
graphics other than as specified above shall be fastened to,.or suspended from, the �eiling.
_ -- ----
Lighting fixtures shall be recessed or attached in immediate proximity to the ceiling; hanging— -
or pendant fixtures wili not be permitted. Luminous ceilings are permitted, Artificial
lighting intensity shall be a minimum of 30 f.c. at every point alang the floor. The artific:al
lighting shall be supplied with electricity in su�h manner that the interruption of service
in any circuit inside the building will not result in total interruption of the required lighting.
�'nere adjacenz private building areas are open to the �oncourse, a differentiation in ceiling
treatment, height, light level, and/or light color shall be achieved. At nodes and at other
locations where ceiling-mounted directional signs are to be located, additional lighting .
� and/or outlets shall be provided to accent st�ch graphic materiaL
6. Skyway System ��'alls - V��here the skyway system is defined by walls or partitions separating
� the concourse f rom adjacent private building areas, sucn wails may be of a design and �
function consistent with the use and architectural design of such private building areas.
Exceptions will be required at wall areas where graphic panels, rnaps, route directories,
or other skyway-related graphic material is to be located. Skyway system walls shall be of
aurable, easily �maintainable, finished materials. Where shop signs, department identification _
signs, oc other permanent graphics not related to skyway graphics as specified above
are required, they shall be located on and/or parallel to concourse wal:s at a height between
7'G" above the fl�or, except signs painted on shop windows may occur at otnec.heights

�' .
:� -
In order to assure puhlic return for the pub.►ic investrnen� made in development of th�
skyway systern in the downtown, all areas of the skyway system must be l�cated either
on p��blic property or within public easement granted witnout consideration by the developer _
or building ownzr. Such easem�nts shal! be coterminous with the designated areas of concourse
corridors and nodes and vertical access facilities; also, shall extend on the ground floor
from the foot of vertical access f�cilities to a p�;51ic sidewaik or other pu�lic pro��cty,
giving acces� to a pubii.r sidewalk. Such easements shall be reauired for both thcse s4cyway
system elPments for which the City is responsible and those_elements constitutin� a link =
in �he basic systern for which private parties may be r;:sp�,�sible. The easements will be
in form satisfactory�to the City and will be limited to the life of the irrtproveme�ts constituting
the skyway system. The easemen:s wilt grant to tF�e public the right of use of the skyway
system for purposes of ingress and 'egress and pedestrian transit without limitation, except
that such easemen�s may attach reasonable conditions regarding clos�no parts or a!1 of
the skyway system within the developer's or ownQ�'s struct�ral improvements durin� non-
business hours as dictated by reasonable s�curity requirements of the buildings through
which the concourse passes. � .
Subject to the following conditions, the cieveloper or building owner shalt have the�right _
at any tirne to cnange the locations of such easements and the easen�ents shali so provide,
on th� cor�dition that new easements are granted which permit ihe continuity of the skyway
s��steni, and the developer or ow�nr installs a new pedestrian concourse on the new easement

In the event the developer or owner elects to substitute a new easerne�t location, it wiIl
submit to the City the description thereof, the plans and specifications iherefor, and proof
of a�iiity to pay and method of payment therefore for the ap�roval of the City, which approval
shali not be unreasonably withheld. The City shall have 90 days after the submission in
which to approve or reject the submission. tf the City rejects the submission, it must do �
so in writing within the 90-day period and, in such w•riting set forth in detail, the valid reasons
for such rejection. �n tne event the City .fails ;o reject the su�mission within said 9a-day
period, the City's consent shall be conclusively presumed. The City shall not be required
to approve any cnange in easement location unless the easement to be submitted therefor
� contains at least the same area ano dimensions of the existing easement; and the improvements
,

C�
� including replacement of signs, graphics and furniture provided in the original skyway system.
� When the City approves the substitution as aforesaid, the p�rties shal! then join in the execution.
and delivery of an amendatory agreement in recordable form which designates the substitute ,
location and terminates the easement over the old location effective upon completion of
the construction of the new concourse and skyway system.
