_ The following P roject Development Repart has been prepared and submitted for ° - _

Location and DescriPtion •
This project is located on Warner Road from Childs Road to T.H. �61 and on
T.H. 61 from Burns Avenue to the south City Limits of St. Paul . Appraxcmately
4.25 miles of roadway are contained within the project limits. T.H. 61 is
� classed as a principle arterial , and Warner Road as a minor �rterial :;(5ee Maps)
';�a�' ' � � .
Warner Road in the project area lies at the base of the Mounds Park bluff �
area, and on the fringe of the State Fish Hatchery site. The area adjacent �
to the roadway is mostly rolling and wooded.
T.H. 61 in the project area is bounded on the east by a high bluff with some -
. residential areas. Battle Creek Park is located just east of T.H. 6} ,
• approximately one mile south of Bu rns Avenue. West of the highway lies a
wooded area, swamp, railroad tracks, and then the Mississippi River. � aur-
lington Railroad mainline trackage is immediately adjacent to highway �ight-of-
. way south of the Battle Creek Park area.
Objecf'ive of Proposal. �
Warner Road (with an average daily traffic volume of approximatety 10,000) ,
Trunk Highway 61 (ADT of 20,000) and Burns Avenue (ADT of 6,000� merge in a.
,,,.�, common area containing many turning lanes and cross traffic f1aw. Bicycle
� travel thru this area is both dangerous and difficutt at the present time.
.�;:
.
The demand for an adequate bicycle facility exists to serve both the commuter ;.
.and recreational cyclist. Residences in St. Paul 's eastern area could use
I " this facility to downtown via Warner Road. (The segment of Warner Road fram
this project to downtown is scheduled for improvement in 1977• Provisions
for bicyclists will be provided) . The recreational rider would use this
• facility as a connecting link from Mounds Park to Battle Creek Park and on
to the south Washington County bicycle routes. .
� Tentative plans call for the�development of the Pigs Eye Lake area for rec-
reational use. Trails would connect to this facility. Additionally, St.
_ Paul 's comprehensive bikeway proposal calls for a bicycle route along the
entire river corridor. This project would be the third link fallowing the
Shepard Road bike raute constructed in 1975 and the Warner Road praject
mentioned above.
'�
.- � -2- � ����
,
Recognizing the high traffic volumes on Warner Road and Highway 61 , it is
proposed to construct an off road facility as follows:
A two way off road path witl be constructed on the southerly side of �����
Highway 61 from Childs Road to Battle Creek Park. An existing .bridge would
. carry the cyclist under the highway into the park area. From Battle Creek
• south to the project limit, the rider would use Point Douglas Road,
has very tow traf�ic volumes) . !n two areas where Point Douglas Roadwis=h
interrupted, a twa way off road facility would be constructed.
A bicycle-pedestrian bridge would be constructed on Warner Road just west of
the difFicult Warner-Burns-Highway 61 Interchange. A path from the northerl
end of th i s_.bri dge -woul d meancter thra `the Mun i c i pa l Foresx -Reserve tc� end � y . � `
= Rear the Burns Avenue - Johnson Parkway intersection. � �
.
� Approximately 2.3I miles of off road patfi would be constructed and 1 .94
miles of existing roadway utilized. See the attached maps for locations.
It is important to note that this project will completely eliminate bicycie-
motor vehicle conflicts in a previously difficult area.
� This project was develo ed •i`
..� A jointly by the City of St. Paul Planning and
Public Works Departments, and approved by the Metropolitan Council for FAU
funding. �
Although this entire project was approved by the Metro Councit for FAU
funding, it has come to our attention that T.H. ��61 has a Federal Aid Primary- :• .
Urban extension and not a Federal Aid Urban designation. The M.H.D. has
. indicated that F.A.P, fundirig will be avaitable for the po rtion along T.H, 61 .
The local share of the funding will be bond funds already allocated fo r
bicycle paths. Total estimated cost is $184,000. '
' Environmental Assessment �
•. � .
1 . This project encourages the use of the bicycle for both recreat�on and
for commuting. It is not considered to have any economic or environ-
mental affects.
t�'.r 2. 4(f) Lands will be used. No negative affects are fo
reseen. ,
3. � There are no. known historic or archeological sites in this praJect .area. t.
•• 4. �The p ro j ect w i l l be cons t ructed on ex i s t i ng roadway r i ght-of-way ar�d the
St. Paul Municipal Forest Reserve.
• 5. This project wi11 have no affect on water pollution. �
6. This project is not noise reiated. � �
7. This project will have no affect on air quality. The proposed improvements
are considered to be consistent with the State Implementation Plan as
documented in the Memorandum of Understanding between the Minnesota Pollu-
tion Control Agency and the Minnesota Highway Department.

8. There are no known controversial issues on this project.
g. There will be little if any affect on visual quality or aesthetics������ '
. 10. Disturbed areas will be-seeded or sodded to prevent erosion. �
Based on the environmental assessment and in accordance with the guidelines in .
Federal Aid Highway Program Manual , Volume 7, Chapter 7, Section 2, it is '
determined that the proposed improvement is a major action anticipated to have
no significant affect on the quality of the human environment.

� this action will follow a major level path as shown below:
