June 2�+, 1964 ��.�,
Hon. George J. Vavoulis, Mayor
a.nd Members of the City Council
City of Saint Paul
Gentlemen:
In 1945 the Co�i.ssioner of Public �,Torks, pursuant to Chapter 315 of the
1945 Session I�aws of the State of Minnesota, submitted a plan of city streets �
r.eaching and meeting the enlarged Capitol Grounds area. This plan was approved
by the Council and submitted to the State Vetera.ns Service Building Commission
for its approva.l. Following approval by the Conmm3.ssion, the Depaxtment of Public
Works bega.n the making of surveys and preparation of plans for the acquiring of
property a.nd the construction of streets and roadways. This original pla.n was the
basis of the Capitol Approach work done by the City up to this time. Based upon
developments since 1g45, we are submitting herewith an. amended plan for your
consideration.
In 1956 Con.gress passed the Act creating the Idational. System o� Interstate a.nd
Defense Highways. The system upon which the legislation and cost estim�tes of the
Interstate System were based had been under consideration �or a number of years by
the United States Bureau of Public Roads, with assistance from the various state
highway departments. The federal cost of 90 percent is paid from the highway trust
fund, into which all sources of highway users revenue dedicated for this purpose
axe placed. Ten percent of the construction cost, including right of way, is
financed by the Minnesota Highway Department, there being no requirement for man-
datory City pe.rticipation in any portion of thia ma�or undertak3ng. Cities and
counties in max�y other states are required to sha.re in the 10 percent allocation.
In St. Paul proper, the interstate mileage is 17.3, with a total cost estima,ted to
be $113,700,000, including est3mated right-o�-way cost of $3�+,�+Q0,000.
The work of surveys, prepaxation of preliminaxy plans by the Minnesota Highway
Department, together with some construction for the Interstate System, started al-
most inn�ediately in �957. The right of way for the Capitol �pproach had been ac-
quired and, to a conaiderable extent, the conatruction in the 9�ediate axea had
been completed under the origina.i Capitol Approach authoriza.tion on such streets
as a portion of Ireland Boul.evaxd, Wabasha Street, Cedax Street, Ftzl.ler Street,
and others as authorized 3n the origina,l Council approval.
The ma3or interstate routes serving St. Paul, such as T.H. 35E ana_ T.H. 94,
merged into a ma,jor interchange skirting the Capitol Area to the south. Some o�
the originel Capitol Approach work had been deferred pending the adoption of final
layout plans for the Interstate System. The result has been that the improvement
and construction of certain of the streets and bridges originally in the Capitol
�J �
�� •%� , ,r ` , • � _ 2 �
�
- f' App'roach pla�t axe no�w enibod3ed in the final pla.n approved by the Bureau of Public
Roads a.nd are being, or wi11 be, constructed under the Interstate plan. Provisions
for other connections to the interstate ramps and frontage roads axe being mad.e
necessary so that the revised plan of city streets •will meet both the Capitol
Approach area as now laid out and the Interstate System of Aighways. The construc-
tion of certain pro,jects under the Interstate System without City cost provid.es a
financial balance for construction of the am,ended list •without draw3ng on other
funds.
The following list ha,s been prepared with the view of providing uniform street
development of reason�.bly high stan.d.axd within the entire Capitol Area, includ3ng
such items as street reconstruction where necessary, change of �ade, lighting and
other facilities as authorized under the 1g�+5 Act. These streets are listed as
follows a.nd axe shown on the attached sma,ll scale ma.p of the State Capitol Grounds
as prepared for the State Veterans Service Building Conmmission by the firm then
l�iown as Morell & Nichols, Inc. This map, while not entirely accurate as to ramp
a.nd main line highway location, shaws in excellent perspective the relation of
city streets to general Capitol plan.
