A. Schnarr, Deputy Director, DPM Project SUBJECT: INTERSTATE FUNDING, FRINGE PARKING In connection with the development of an application or applica- tions for the fringe parking facilities proposed for downtown Saint Paul, I feel that some background information might be he lpf ul. o Federal Aid Highway funds may be used for fringe parking facilities on Federal Aid Systems (Interstate, Primary, Secondary and Urban) . The anly systems eligible in down- town Saint Paul are Interstate and Urban. The total Urban System funding available to the entire metropolitan area is about $8.5 million per year and is presently prior- itized and programmed on a metro-wide basis. So, it appears that the only highway fund source that is practical to consider for fringe parking in the downtown area is Federal Interstate funds. o To_ my knowledge, there are no fringeparking projects which have been .funded with Interstate funds which are similar to our proposed projects. Mn/DOT submitted an application for such facilities on Interstate 394/Third Avenue Distribu- tor in downtown Minneapolis and it was found ineligible because it did not provide adequate benefit to the Inter- state system. I feel our situation is somewhat different in that we do provide a significant benefit to both I-35E and I-94 in the areas of greatest congestion from the Mounds Boulevard off ramp through the joint section in � the Capitol area. � o For the definition of fringe �parking as provided by FHWA, the current regulations provide the following: " {39 "Fringe and transportation corridor parking facilities" means those facilities located in fringe areas which are intended to be used for temporary storaqe of vehicles and which are located and designed so as to facilitate the safe and convenient transfer of persons traveling in such vehicles to and from existing or planned public transportation facili- ties. The term "parking facilities" includes but i� not � limited to� access roads, buildings; structures, equipment, improvements and interests in land. " - , �� , , � � . . � . • DPM Steering Committee 2. " (4) "Fringe Area" means those areas outside the central business district of urban areas." . The U.S. Transportation Department regulations which apply to fringe parking include but are not limited to the following: o Eligible Projects " (d) Fringe and trans�ortation corridor parking facilities to serve bus and other �ublic mass transportation passengers. " o Approval " (a) In approving fringe and transportation corridor park- ing facilities, the Federal Highway Administrator: (1) Shall make a determination that the proposed parking facility is located in a fringe area; (2) Shall require that the parking facility be located and designed in conjunction with exist- ing or planned public transportation facilities. (3) May approve acquisition of land proximate to the right-of-way of any Federal-Aid highway. (4) May approve construction of publicly-owned parking facilities on land within the right-of- way of any Federal-Aid highway, including the use of air space above and below the established gradeline of the highway pavement, and on land acquired in accordance with the Uniform Reloca- tion Assistance and Land Acquisition Policies Act of 1970; . � (5) May permit the charging of fees for the use of the facility, except that the rate of the fee shall not be in excess of that required for maintenance and operation (including compensa- tion to any person for operating sucYz facility) . " o The Federal Highway Ac7ministrator shall not approve a fringe and transportation corridor parking facility unless: " (1) He has determined that the State or political s�bdivision thereof, where the project is to be located, or any agency or instrument of such state or political subdivision, has the authority and capability of constructing, maintaining, and operating the facility; _; � � , . , , , • .

(2) He has receivecl assurance from the State that the facility will remain in public ownership as long as the facility is needed and that any change in owner- " ship shall have his prior approval; (3) He has entered into an agreement governing the financing, maintenance and operation of the parking facility with the State, political sub- division, agency, or instrumentality which shall include necessary requirements to ensure that adequate public transportation service will be available to persons using the facility; and (4) He has approved design standards for constructing the facility developed in cooperation with the State highway agency. " o Operations " (c) A state, political subdivision, agency, or instru- mentality thereof may contract with any person to aperate any parking facility constructec3 under this section. " On February 20, 1979, I met with members of the Minnesota Depart- ment of Transportation staff to discuss the proposed fringe parking application for such facilities in Saint Paul. The results of that preliminary discussion are as follows: o It appears that the applications to the Federal Highway Aclministration for Interstate funding in connection with fringe parking must be made by the State �I"In/DOT) - o While the normal procedure for such application is to process it from the bottom up, in light of the Minneapolis , turndown (which may have set a precedent) , it might be well , to arrange for a meeting between the Mayor of Saint Paul, the Commissioner of Mn/DOT and possibly the Chairman of the M.T_C. with Secretary of U.S. Department of Transportation, Brock Adams, the Federal Highway Administrator, Carl Bowers, and possibly Dick Page, Administrator of the Urban Mass Transit Administration, to discuss the proposed application for funding and its chances, in light of the fact that, fringe parking is an essential part of the Saint Paul Downtown People . Mover Demonstration Project and the Administration' s emphasis on Urban initiatives. , o �/DOT wilf develop an outline of the contents of the applica- tion and provide a tentative schedul� for developing the application. o Mn/DOTwill provide written comments on the draft fringe parking plan. - � a � ' � �'-� �� � ��:���� city of saint paul planning commission resolution file number,_ 7966 date Aaril ,�. ,�» WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of St. Paul is charged with the responsibility for reviewing proposals which may impact upon the St. Paul Comprehensive Plan; LJHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed Central Business District Boundary designation and finds this proposal consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; NOW BE IT RESOLVED, the St. Paul Planning Commission approves the Central Business District designation as described in Attachment A and recommends approval by the Council of the City of St. Paul . moved by McDonel l ' s�;conded by McMahon _ in favor 1__8__ - a�it'1St � s � _ _ _ . __ _ . . _. .. _ . , . � _ _ _ � �� At� �hment A Central Business District Boundary Designation Commencing at the point of intersection of the midpoint right-of-way line of St. Peter St. and the southerly right-of-way line of Eleventh St. , easterly along southerly right-of-way line of Eleventh St. , to the point of intersection of the southerly right-of-way line of Interstate 94, then southeasterly along southwesterly right-of-way line of Interstate 94 to the point of intersection of the midpoint right-of-way line of Broadway Street, then southerly along midpoint right-of-way line of Broadway Street to the point of intersection with the midpoint right-of-way line of Kellogg Boulevard/Third St. , then westerly along midpoint right-of-way line of Kellogg Boulevard/Third St. to the point of intersection with the midpoint right-of-way line of Sibley Street, then souther�y along midpoint right-of-way line of Sibley Street to the point of intersection with the northerly right-of-way line of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad, then westerly along northerly right-of-way line of Chicago, f�lilwaukee and St. Paul Railroad to the point of intersection with the eastern property line of 4�est Publishing Company, then nor•therly along eastern property line of 6Jest Publishing Company to the point of intersection with the midpoint right-of-way line of Kellogg Boulevard, then westerly along midpoint right-of- way line of Kellogg Boulevard to the point of intersection with the midpoint right-of-way line of Smith St. , then northerly along midpoint right-of-way line of Smith St. to the point of intersection with the midpoint right-of-way line of f�inth St. , then southeasterly along midpoint right-of-way line of Ninth St. to the point of intersection with the midpoint right-of-way line of Exchange St. , then easterly along midpoint right-of-way line of Exchange Street to the point of intersection with the midpoint right-of-way line of St. Peter Street, then northerly along midpoint right-of-way line of St. Peter Street to the point of intersection with the southerly right-of-way line of Eleventh Street, which is the point of beginning. ; � � . � . }_ ____ ..O�p\ �`. \ \/ \ /1/ � II ' I ��� � � O o �i ��J, � •� O° o0 ; /ti � ooi 0 0 � ���� �� �� � � � 0� 0 _ 0 � � 0 0 0 � o p � ° � `� ° p , i r==, �O f 0 p a ��!
