INITIATING ACTION: Phalen Boulevard is a new roadway to be constructed on the city's East Side between I35E on the west and Johnson Parkway on the east. This new roadway would support an initiative by the City and azea businesses and residents to encourage redevelopment of vacant and underutilized land in the corridor. The project will also significantly enhance access to the near East Side by providing a better connection to the regional roadway system at I-35E and by providing a direct route from the Phalen Village area to I-35E north of Saint Paul's downtown. The proposed construction of Phalen Boulevard is considered a Federal Class I Action because of the potential for significant on the natural and physical environment. An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was completed for Phalen Boulevard. After consideration and review of the analysis presented in the Draft EIS and the comments received from agencies, organizations, and citizens during the 45-day Draft EIS public comment period, the Saint Paul City Council, in a resolution dated February 24, 1999, selected segnents W-2D, C-4, and E-1 from the Draft EIS as the Preferred Altemative for the Phalen Boulevard project. The Record of Decision was approved by the Federal Highway Administration on November 19, 1999. The project will be constructed in phases. Phase I of the Phalen Boulevard Project is the section between I-35E and Payne Avenue, which will be conshucted in 2003. Phase II is the section between Payne Avenue and Arcade Street. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The proposed alignment of Phalen Boulevard runs mostly parallel and to the north of the Union Pacific Railroad. It is aligned through a portion of the former Stroh's Brewery site and then onto o� •sa� Ramsey County Regional Rail Authority property near the Arcade Street bridge. The existing Stroh site consists of crushed concrete material from the demolition of Stroh's grain elevators. The existing asphalt Bruce Vento Regional Bicycle/Pedestrian Trail is located on the Rail Authority property, A new road, which at this time named the "Arcade Street Access Road" will be constnxcted as part ofthe project to connect Phalen Boulevazd to Arcade Street as shown on the attached map. The Arcade Street Access Road will be built across the former Whirlpool Building 17 site and former KFC property. The exisring Wiurlpool Buildingl7 site consists of a paved parking lot and large retaining wall which will be removed. The KFG site was acquired by the City in 2002 aasd the building on the site has been demolished. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS: The Phalen Blvd. Phase II project will include conshuction of the following streets: Phalen Boulevard - Payne Avenue to Arcade Street Access Road Arcade Street Access Road - Phalen Boulevard to Arcade Street Phalen Boulevard will be a four-lane divided roadway between Payne Avenue and the intersection with the Arcade Street Access Road. The roadway will be rivo lanes east of the Arcade Street Access Road intersection. On the west end, Phalen Boulevard will connect into the Payne Avenue/Phalen Boulevard Intersection which is being constructed under Phase I. Further to the east, the roadway will turn south until it ties into an alignment located north of and paralleling the Union Pacific Railroad Tracks. Phalen Boulevard will continue east and generally follow the alignment of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks to Arcade Street, where Phalen Boulevard will eventually pass under the Arcade Street Bridge. Under Prefened Alternative C-4 in the EIS, Phalen Boulevard follows the north edge of the former Stroh's brewery site. The City of Saint Paul Council Resolution detailing the Preferred Alternative selection notes that Alternative C-4 should be designed in conjunction with plans for the future use of the Stroh site north of the Union Pacific railroad tracks, and as straight and as far south as possible without preventing a safe and attractive at-grade crossing at Payne Avenue. Since the time the Final EIS was approved, the Saint Paul Port Authority has purchased all of the Stroh site north of the Union Pacific railroad tracks. The alignment of Phalen Blvd roadway has been modified to meet the intent of the resolution. The location of the Phalen Boulevard and the Arcade Street Access Road have also been developed in conjunction with the Phalen Blvd. Middle Section Task Force, which was formed by the Planning Commission. The roadway alignments were developed to facilitate future recreational uses and planned development adjacent to the roadways. 03 - So8' Phalen Boulevard will bridge over the Ratnsey County Regional Railroad Authority Right of Way and the Bruce Vento Regonal Trail. The bridge will be designed to accommodate light rail transit which may be constructed in the future. The bridge will be approximately 100' long.
