median width. � ,_-
2. Construction of inedian barrier where widening is not feasible.
3. Frontage road construction.
4. Relocation and reconstruction of several intersections.
5. Roadway lighting and traffic signals.
6. Construction of a bicycle trail .
7, Landscaping and signing in accordance with Great River Road objectives .
8. Replacement of the Battle Creek bridge.
The project has been developed with close cooperation and considerable input from
the St. Paul District One Community Council and the City of St. Paul Departments

The project has location and design approval by the Federal Highway Administration.
It has been reviewed by the �4etropolitan Council . The finding was that the project

The Minnesota Environmental Quality Board has also reviewed the project, along
with the City of St. Paul Department of Planning, and has indicated that it

Commitments and changes to the project as a direct result of the public involve-
ment are as follows: ---

Bailey Road to Carver Avenue.
2, The continuous section of frontage road from Highwood Avenue to Carver
Avenue was eliminated from the project.
3. A low level of continuous li�hting was requested by residents and will be
incorpora ted into the design.
4. The closure of Highwood Avenue access was given concurrence by the District
One Community Council .
5. The approximate locations of bus stops were sug�ested by the District One
Community Council .
6. The District One Community Council concurred with the bike trail routing.
An opportunity for a public hearing was afforded. The notices were published on
September 10, 1980 and October 1 , 1980 with the deadline for requests October 15,
1980. There were no requests for a public hearing.
The project is located entirely within the City of St. Paul . Preliminary plan

Report are included.

Mn/DOT feels that they may now have funds to do already studied and approvec�:
projects such as this pro�osed improvement of T.H. 61. With City Council
approval of the preliminary plan , this improvement would be high priority
for 1984 or 1985 construction.
This T.H. 61 project is highly desirable to alleviate congestion and operatior
problems at Burns Ave. and Warner Rd. , Battle Creek Pk. and other access
points. The project would also upgrade �he general operation, condition and
Financial , Budgetary and Personnel Impacts �Anticipated• scenic qualities of entire l�ng
