Removal
Last July the Bridge Maintenanoe people asked if these steps could be
removed because they w�ere in need of major repairs.
We have talked to the neighbors and have asked the District #7 Planning
Council about the need for the st�eps. All report that the steps are
little used and could just as well be taken out and save the City some
mr�ney.
Also, talked to Gary Griffenberg of the State Capitol Architect's Office.
The state is developing a park area near the top of these steps and feel
the steps wnuld be nice to keep, but are not absolutely necessary, and
are probably not wr�rth the cost to rebuild.
We rec�nd that th+ese steps be removed. They are no longer needed for
pedestrian traffic.
4,fien you have all the legal things started and have scheduled this wnrk
please call Gary Griffenberg, 296-7138, and let him knaw what is happening.

St. Paul , Mn 55IO2 � � Re : Steps-Jackson
to Capitol Heights �
Dear Mr. Roettger : �..
,�
The District 7 Planning Council has revi-ewe
your request to abandon and remove the steps
described above. After viewing them our
opinion is that they should be abandoned �and �
be removed to no longer necessitate time from
your department . They obviously are not used
to any great extent , and because of the two
types of construction and the condition of
���hem , we consider them unrepairable for
future use for the proposed park planned by
the CAAPB .
If you deem it necessary , a pedestrian count
might be interesting .
Sincerely
.��z--�-�, � � ,
Dale Busacker , President
Thomas-Dale/District 7 Planning Council , Inc .
