Johnson titles for contract execution) �xecutive Director Project Summary In the space below, summarize the project goals and components. The Phalen Corridor, a 2-1l2 mile underused rail corridor on the east side of the city, has suffered from numerous plant closings, growing unemployment, and rising crime. An initiative has been underway since 1994 to develop a broad-based community partnership to rebuild the economic, social, and physical prosperity o£ St. Paul's East Side. The focus of this LCDA is the 20-acre western segment of the cotridor, which is the future location of the Westminster Junction Business Center, and the first phase of redevelopment conducted through the city's Phalen Corridor Tnitiative. The intent is to make this segment a showcase for state-of the art ecological landscape design and stormwater management. While the desia is for the public land surrounding the new industrial buildings planned for the site, it wi11 provide a standard for a11 the businesses as they move in. The Port Authority intends to use its covenants to encourage all the individual businesses to treat stormwater management as a key amenity and integrated component within the overall landscape plan. This proposal requests funding to implement the proposed erosion control and stormwater cleansing plan for the site. The landscape design includes planting erosion control grasses and flowering trees, shrubs, and evergreen trees to provide stormwater management and add aesthetic value to the neighborhood and residential properly sunounding the site. Two stormwater detention areas will be installed. The focus of the design includes reconshucting the natural site topology and native plant culture site to perform ecological functions that would have historically occurred on the site. This plan includes providing a landscaped buffer between the existing residentiai houses and the industrial buildings that provide pleasant neighborhood views; planting prairie and shrub massings to act as an upland buffer to slow and absorb stormwater; and uti]izing onsite infiltration technology such as, vegetated swales, rain gardens, and stormwater wetlands. a3- w s °, n � � � � a0 � N O +.. .� C � � � H � � C� � � Lz" a � � "�S � � r-. v � .� a ry ��o oU ;;�v �L c,.O O a O Q � N � N .�,0 'L$ F �r � O �[� W � � � y C U1 C% v fr s� � � :U� � +• Y u. �t v G :O � 'r� d' � � � CQ � � O N y w m � L" � � V1 y � e � 'i+ G � F c ' i ri -.. m v � ! r $ � G Y Zj R � � C C +' 9 y � � y � a� 'n � B R ¢�' y C d � % F � K p'O�O O �"" W tC d p � o C � 'CS ..

Additional Project Information �rZmZronepa • In the space below, provide additional project information or lustory of the site (not included in the project summary on page 1), inclnding any plans to phase the proyect. The communifies surrounding the Phalen Cortidor have a rich tradirion of welcoming St. Paul's newest cirizens, from the Swedish, through the Irish, Polish, Italian, Mexican, African and Southeast Asian. Family roots grow proudly on the East Side for generations. Today's challenges include a high unemployment rate, decreasing home ownership, a fear of rising crime, and a common misconception that the azea is worse than it is. The East Side neighborhoods, however, do have a strong social fabric, acrive churches, committed neighborhood groups, and ttuiving business associarions. The scarcity of high incomes does not mean a lack of community. The neighborhood has retained many of the qualities that first made it an atttactive place to live, including well- built family homes, a mix of small, medium and large businesses, and access to most of the Twin Ciries' major roadways. The Phalen Corridor promises to increase that access and vitality even more. The Corridor will link neighborhood businesses to downtown Saint Paul and Tnterstate 35E. Transportarion improvements attract new businesses, but the East Side will need a place to put them. There are 100+ acres of brownfields on the Phalen Corridor that will be cleaned up and transformed into prosperous business parks, of which Weshninster Junction is the first. Other pazcels of land aze being redeveloped as greenspace and housing. • In the space below, state how LCDA funding will overcome obstacles or provide a catalyst. Describe any time constraints, financial hardship or complexity that requires LCDA funding. Address what could not be accomplished but for receipt of an LCDA grant. The St. Paul Port Authority and the Phalen Corridor have been working to redevelop the Westminster Business Center for 6 years. All of the funds for the redevelopment and Phalen Boulevard construction aze committed except for landscape improvements. The Business Center will be available in late 2004 and it is imperafive that the landscape improvements are complete by that time to prevent erosion, soil compaction etc. We have sold property based on landscape improvements and the concept of a progressive business pazk. 03-�0�, 3.

Phalen Initiative is intended to follow unportant livable community principles in terms of land use relarionships: • The road will create jobs and lead to the clean-up of polluted land. • New housing developments will be set-off by this road (up to 1000 new units of housing) • It will grant interstate access to valuable urban land. • We should rebuild infrastruchue in the inner city, where it is needed. • Revitalization of the inner city helps prevent urban sprnwl. • Connecrions to maj or bicycle paths wlth a bicycle/pedestrian path to follow Phalen Boulevazd. • Busway connecrions into the Phalen Comdor with the Riverview Corridor busway plan. • In particular the potenrial for greenspace relationships is great' I. Describe how the project links to transit, if transit is available. The vision for the Phalen Corridor project provides employment, educafional, and home ownership opportunifies, as well as transportarion opporiunities to residents who have suffered yeazs ofbusinesses leaving the Eastside and the blight and decay associated with their departures. Phalen Boulevard wi11 provide a vital link between Payne Avenue, Arcade Street, downtown, and Interstates 35E and 94. This link wili provide easier access to the Eastside and improved transit opportunities for Eastside residents. The redevelopment plan for the Phalen Corridar area also encourages the use of altematives to single-occupancy vehicles such as transit, bicycles, and walking. J.

Replicability: State how you wi11 use components of or processes developed for the project in other locations in your community, or in the comprehensive plan and zoning codes. The development will be a model for state-of-the-art use of native plants and the innovative treatment of stormwater. Residents can utilize many practices used in the development in their own landscaping. Many of the native species used in the project will be visually appealing and could be used on an individuaPs properry. The landscaping and stormwater treahnent could also be used in adjacent private properties. By making the development an attracrive place to walk and h�avel, residents will be exposed to these new concepts. With exposure comes awareness helping to build a coinmunity of individuals who will be good stewazds of greenspaces and natural azeas in the future. D3'�Ct� 5.
