Funding Proposal Describe goals and features of the element, building, or phase(s) that will go forward to construction within one year, if this funding request is granted, and be completed or substantially completed within two years of the grant award. ILimit 201ines) This proposal is to re-establish Fillmore Street as a continuous street between Wabasha and Robert streets through the planned West Side Flats Urban Village. There are three parts to the project: 1) re-establishment of the at-grade Union Pacific Railroad crossing; 2) reconstruction of Fillmore Street from Wabasha to just east of the crossing, with ornamental street lighting, sidewalks, street trees and on-street pazking; and 3) installation of a new traffic signal at the Wabasha/Fillmore intersection. These improvements were required in the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA4� conducted for US Bank, a 350,000 sq. 8. client service center built at Fillmore and Robert in 2003, and aze part of the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority's development agreement with US Bank. In the EAW, the re-opened street was deternvned necessary to serve the new office building d'uectly as well as the rest of the West Side Flats Urban Village (a mixed-use, medium-to-high-density, pedestrian-oriented urban village that reconnects the greater West Side with the Mississippi River). Grand St. Paul, a 120-unit housing development proposed at Fillmore and Wabasha (Phase 1 will start construction in Fa112006) will directly benefit by re-opening the Fillmore Street railroad crossing and establishing a traffic signal at Fillmore/Wabasha. d�-�ifp � � a � C � � � ti 00 � e� � � y � � � � C"" � � CC r.., � � � a' � � .�i � � � �1 � -b d g�� a a � �oo Q �° �\o\ o 'a A A.,.:.� �� W N N N N � C a N N � •= � W ti ti O G C R Vi L � � � � a. � A u � � d a O U L�� l� L� .0 � Op O � � ay � O O O O � ,� Q p �-.� J".,'� w �� W y y ti ti y U p �D l0 V"J V' y '6 R Qt �O 'L �.a e. � � N r�/� � i (/j i� �p'�, d000 O w � a �� O O O O � y � O � 'a p pp �I � Q� 00 O C� R ,0�� '��' '.�^� � 69 69 ff3 69 1�+ R Y m 'S "^�' N C i0 L'i a�4' d � � � a� o �? o a �, �o o d' C � m � m F � �� a�+ .,�„0 Ci � y 'y. ,� . y W b � ,O �' } � c � 3 . abi � R 'S o � � '� p , „ '. ;.� ° � s. ,� a 9 vi a� d "" O..�+ � •R >, N ,x � al OL rn :.' +-� rj '� �+ �i y .. y �b� � 3 a = � �,,.�° N 9 a+ N y y p ' , 'i• � y c � � � '� � .° a G 4 '',- ❑ ° � oA s7 a) m . p � . �.i .m � 4. .o r� � V '^e d � e� .

Funding Proposal Describe goals and features of the element, building, or phase(s) that will go forward to conshucfion within one year, if this funding request is granted, and be completed or substantially completed within two years of the grant award. The City of St. Paul / PED and Public Warks propose to build basic public infrastructure — Temperance Street between 9` and 10�' Streets - in the new downtown Urban Village, North Quadrant (now called Wacouta Commons) neighborhood, in order to provide a catalyst to private development in the azea. Historically, Temperance Street was a north / south street that ran from 8`" Street to 10`" Street. The street segment between 9`" and l0 Streets was abandoned decades ago, resulting in a mega-block that was not in keeping with the surrounding street grid nor the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood that is being created today. This LDCA grant would reconstruct this abandoned segment of Temperance. The reconstruction of Temperance Street between 9�' and 10`" Streets supports the North Quadrant Precinct Plan, Saint Paul on the Mississippi Development Framework and land use plan obj ective of public zealm improvements that reinstate the urban street network and block patterns, creating a framework for new building placement. When the Printers Row project was approved for Phase 4 of the North Quadrant (Wacouta Commons) Urban Village, Temperance Street was designed to be extended one block north of its current terminus at 9`" Street (to 10`� Street). Extending the street was considered pivotal to the project to create a more urban-scale block in this part of downtown, provide an"address" for new owner-occupied housing, and improve the pedestrian and bike connections to and through the neighborhood. The east side of Temperance (cwb and gutter, street trees and sidewalk) was built when the first condo building, Printers' Row Phase I, was constructed, but the rest of the street was left undone. This LCDA grant proposal would build the street itself fust, and then curb and gutter, street trees, sidewalks and pedestrian li along the west side of the street. °�-�� -b � o� R aoo t�m d °++' :: qo 0o a � '� Q�.o „ 00 �o A A - L ^ � _ o ^e �e u i� W � [-.`�. c.-r". �d G-�a G-a o c - �o a �C R�a � O O O U � fl' •^ Q N N N .p v 6� � O U �� ❑ a " A Ca fi � p Q� � H 1-i i-i u Y `ii � V U O VS ,n V7 V1 'II P: G L C/1 Vl �.+ a.� �� ' '� O � O O in a R p O d O O 'O a�'i m" a � a� O O y y � � � 6 .�.0 69 � a '�' Q.

The Fuiler Avenue street extension is an essential transportation connection through the Lexington Park mixed-use redevelopment project underway on the southwest corner of University Avenue and Lexington Pazkway. The construction of a city street for one block between Lexington Parkway and Dunlap Street will provide essential ingress and egress for automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians coming and going from the site's uses. These include: • An Aldi grocery store (recently constructed, privately financed) • A TCF bank (recently constructed, privately financed) • Wilder Foundation office building and parking garage (soon to be constructed, privately financed) • Carty Heights affordable senior housing complex (soon to be constructed, public financing) • 2 acre parcel for mixed-use commercial/residential project (being planned, private and public financing) Fuller Street will be a private street for public use, constructed to city street standards, with five (5) foot sidewalks, historic style larnern lighting and street trees where space allows. A traffic study of the ernire Lexington Park site detemuned that this street is necessary to accommodate the new traffic generated by the incoming residential, office and commercial uses. The existing access points, one onto University and one onto Le�ngton, cannot accommodate the increased traffic safely. In addirion, the Fuller Street sidewalks and streetscape improvements will enhance the ability of pedestrians to walk safely from one area of Le�ngton Park to another, such as from the senior housing project to the commercial uses along Lexington Pkwy or the potential LRT line on University Ave. The new Fuller St. extension will also help reestablish a more urbanist block pattern on this former suburban-style shonpin¢ center site. �-��{o +'�., � o n � � � � � � � 0 � � �i�. � � F �� i�V R3 , i..i � � ' � � y V Fil � .�i "� .�r � F�I -� � C o�� errrr ;= � «� Q` o Qo �o A A � � '6 N � N N � ' � G .--� .-. ..r � '6 'L3 o m W ia ia it ic � W W � c:.. w c.

The Arlington Jackson West Site is a ZS acre brownfield site in the City of St. Paul. In 1997, the Port Authority created a larger Industrial Development District for the development of Arlington-Jackson Business Center encompassing the entire azea West of Interstate 35E, South of Arlington Ave., North of Maryland Ave., and East of Jackson Sh The eastem 22 acres of the site was remediated and redeveloped in 1997 (labeled "Phase P' on the attached LHB Concept Plan) and when finished housed 559 jobs, 271,400 square feet of new building construction valued at $10,626,000, $1,79Q000 of new equipment investment, and generated $564,742 of real estate taxes. The western portion of the site (25 acres, labeled "Phase IP') is still heavily contaminated with lead, petroleum and other hazardous materials. A contamination investigation of the entire area was conducted during the 1997 redevelopment effort, and this westem portion of the site was found too heavily contaminated by lead for remediation strategies of the time to be cost effective. New remediation strategies have recently made it feasible to remediate and redevelop the balance of the Industrial Development District. The Port Authority has secured cleanup funds from EPA and will request additional funding as needed from other sources to remediate the site in preparation for sale and business construction by the private sector. The following aspects of the proj ect will proceed within one yeaz of funding: Environmental & Geotechnical Testing (funding secured), Acquisition (Livable Communities eligible expense), Relocation (Livable Communities eligible expense), Demolirion (Livable Communities eligible expense), Remediarion (funding secured), Site Improvements (Livable Communities eligible expense), Building Construction (private business expense), and Warkforce Development (funding secured). a�- �� w � � � � Q � � � � N O .� � d F', •�y � � � � � � � � r� � � bA �.
