INITIATING ACTION This street was originally in the adopted 1994 Budget as a bituminous overlay. As more information was gathered, and as the Pubiic Works staff investigated the project, it became preferable to do a complete grade and pave with new curb and gutter instead of the originally planned bituminous overlay. A lantern type lighting system and a traffic signal reconstruction wiil now aiso be a part of this project. EXISTING CONDITIONS Hoyt Street is an oiled street with a 60 foot right-of-way (except for the one block from Dunlap to Lexington, which is 72'). There is very little curbing along this street. The existing curb and gutter in the one short biock between Hamline and Huron wiil be left in place. The driving surface is in poor condition, being very rough and uneven. This is a bus route. Existing overhead lighting is mounted on wood poles. EXISTING TRAFFIC COUNTS: Hamline to Lexington - 2300 ADT (3-92) Lexington to Victoria - 1575 ADT {9-92) Parking is now banned on the North side of the street between Hamline and Dunlap. According to MSA standards, Hoyt Avenue is classified as a low density collector street. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS The MSA standards for a low density collector street are 32' wide with one side parking or 38' wide with two side parking. It is proposed to reconstruct Hoyt Avenue to a 32' width keeping the alignment and parking restrictions that presently exist, with the foflowing exception: !n order to meet MSA widfh standards, we propose to ban parking on the North side between Dunlap and Victoria. 9��rg� As an alternate, the street could be widened to 38' with two-side parking allowed. This will be discussed further at the neighborhood information meeting. The entire driving length of the project will be regraded and reconstructed with a full depth bituminous pavement. New concrete curb and gutter, driveway aprons, and outwalks will be constructed. Within the boulevard area, topsoii and sod wi(I be placed. After construction completion, trees will be planted in the bouisvards where needed. The proposed lighting system wifi consist of the lantern light standards. The traffic signal at Hoyt and Lexington wili be reconstructed as needed. TIME SCHEDULE Work will begin in early to mid-summer of 1995 and be completed by freeze up in the fall of 1995.

The majority of the funding would come from Municipal State Aid Funds. A portion of the funding for the street lighting would come from assessments to tl�e properties affected by the construction. The proposed assessment rate for the street lighting is $3.98 per assessable foot. The existing concrete curb and gutter on Hoyt Avenue between Hamline Avenue and Huron Street will be left in place and the pavement will be rehabilitated. In order to meet Municipal State Aid standards, it is proposed to construct Hoyt Avenue between Huron Street and tiictoria Street to a 32' width with one side parking. Parking is no.v banned on the North side of Hoyt betu�een 1-iamline and Dunlap. As part of this project, it is proposed to ban parking on the North side of Hoyt between Dunlap and Victoria. As an alternate, the street could be constructed at 38' wide with two side parking. This will be discussed further at the information meeting. The meeting we are inviting you to is informational only. Final decisions on whether to construct any or all of the project will be made at an official public hearing af the Saint Paul City Councii. Property owners who will be assessed will be notified of that hearing. If you need more information before this meeting, you can call me at 266-6118.

BETWEEN VICTG�IA ST. & HAMLINE: A presentation of the proposed improvements to Hoyt Ave. was conducted by Paul St. Martin, a street design/civil engineer of the St. Paul Dept. of Public Works. Greg Reece, o£ City Forestry, Joe Collins, an aide for City Council member Janice Rettman, and a person fzom the Real Estate Division were also present. An intended lighting representative with the city did not make it to the meeting. 55+ residents attended, an excellent turnout for an in£ormationai.meeting on a project __ � " of this size. �� _In brieE, Hoyt.Ave. in the affected region is classi£ied as �. - ; �an "oiled street". All oiled streets in St: Paul.are part of : __ �""an:.accelerated impzovemenL program by the Public Works Dept., -:and are to be reconstructed as "paved roads". ° ...' will be a manc3atory change�within the next�l5 years. � •Because Hoyt Ave. is a busline & is considered a state road, �„' the traffic count requirements, it is eligible (and " has been approved} for Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds. These funds would pay for a majority of the work associated with the upgrading of the zoad. We would otherwise need to pay for the reconstruction through expens.zve assessments to our properties. This is an opportunity for us to avoid these expenses, but using these funds does impose some new restrictions on us, because the road must meet MSA standards. The first alternative to satisfy these standards was a widening of the road from 30 ft. to 38 ft., which was immediately rejected by all present at the meeting. More reasonable options become available if residents agres to iimit pazking to one side o£ the street. A majority vote at the meeting, including write-ins, was for Public works to submit a proposal for a variance to allow the city to reconstruct the road at its current 30 foot width with parking allowed on one side, using MSA funds. Following a City Council approval o� the reauest, the variance proposal would be submitted by Publie Works on March 1, 1995, for considera�ion at the next auarterly variance committee meeting on March 22nd. If the variance is rejected, residents agreed that reconstruction at 32 feet with one-side pa:lcing usi.ng MSA funds would be the next best choice. . � It was the opinion of the City Forester that only four laraer trees would be at risk at a 32 foot constrnction, vs. many more at a greater width. Though not everyone felt that new lighting was needed, this is apparently a requirement that is tied to reconstrnction pro}ects. Public works was not certain, but believed that a total of six lanterns per street would be installed. Public Works did not deny that traffic flow and speed will show some increase with road improvement, especially witk any width alteration. However, raad improvements are not linked to tzaffic contzols, such as regu2ating signs, sign�2s, or violations enforcement. Many neighhors voiced strong concerns regarding traffic sa£ety issues, ar.d felt that it w>as important to follow up on this separately.

Hoyt Ave. currently measures out at approximately 30 ft. in width. Alternate proposals include a widening to either 32 ft. or 38 £t. This raises several concerns: 1.) Wil1 the increased width go hand in hand with increased road traffic? 20) Will this contribute to higher speeds of travel, and hence increased noise, pollution, and safety risks to pedestriansl (especially children, eince Hoyt Ave. is the major commuting street for children in the area walking daily to Chelsea Heights Elementary School). 3.) Will this require removal of our existing boulevard trees, and have a negative visual impact on our avenue? 4.) Will this require more rebuilding of our sidewalks, which many of us have already paid for over the pas� few years when they were replaced? 5.) Wi11 this have a negative impact on our property values? Isn't Larpenteur Ave. close enough to serve the function of moving traffic in our area? If you have feelings about these issues that you would like to express, please ATTEND the meetings listed on the attached sheet, or please WRITE a brief letter to be taken to these meetings. YOUR SAY IS IMPORTANT AND CAN HAVE AN IMPACT AT THIS STAGE OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENTI As neighbors we are in this together. Pl�ase get involved if you are able.

Hoyt Avenue St. Paul, MN 55117 February 12, 1995 St. Paul City Council Third Floor City Hall St. Paul, MN 55102 Re: Proposed Improvement to Hoyt Avenue Dear Council Members: We are writing to object to the proposed project to "improve" Hoyt Avenue between Hamline Avenue and Victoria Street. In partioular, we object to the proposal to make the Iioyt Avenue wider between Dunlap and Victoria. Our primary reasons for objecting are as follows: First, the pYOposed improvements to Hoyt Avenue are likely to result in increased traffic flow, and higher speeds of travel. Increased tratfic levels and higher speeds of travel will result in more noise and air pollution, and will create a safety hazard to pedestrians, including the large population of neighborhood children. Larpenteur Avenue, which is only four blocks north of Hoyt Avenue, is adequate to handle the volume and higher speed traffic. Second, the proposed improvements will likely have a negative visual impact on Hoyt Avenue. This is especially true if the improvements will result in removal of mature trees along the boulevard. The combination of an increased traffic flow and a negative visual impact likely to be caused by the proposed improvement project will result in decreased property values along Hoyt Avenue. We feel that the proposed project wili result in more harm than benefit to the residents along Hoyt Avenue. Accordingly, we object to the proposed improvement project. Sincerely, �� .��.,,� �.�-..--- Brad and Lorrie Dahlman q�-i� � February 14,1995 To Whom it May Concern: T am a single retired person living alone on the corner of Milton and Hoyt Ave, and it has come to my attention that you are piannin� on widening Hoyt Ave. and replacing the existing lights. At this time I would like to express some concerns that I have with these proposed plans. 1) The current lighting is more than adequate, making me feel safe and secure especially in the evening when I frequently walk my dog and at night when I am alone. Will the new lights be as bright in (ighting up my street corner? 2) Why replace existing sidewalks, curbs and �utters when they were done,not so many years ago7 This seems rather wasteful to me. 3) The loss of many established trees if the street were to be widened would be a shame. The replacement with younger, smaller trees would create a barren appearance along Hoyt Ave. and it would take many years before these trees would mature. I don't know if I can wait that long. 4) Finally, T am opposed to widening Hoyt Ave., not only because of the above concerns, but, a1so, because a wider street wouid encourage increased traffic and increased speed of the vehicles traveling down it. However, if street repairs become manditory, I would prefer that the state grant money be utilized. As a retired person on a fixed income, but under the age of 65, I am not eligible for the deferred payments for assessed repairs. This would be a hardship for me if the total cost of repairs were to be paid by the property owners along Hoyt Ave. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns.

Alternate proposals either 32 ft. or 38 ft. This raises several concerns: out at approximately 30 ft. include a widening to 1.) will the increased width go hand in hand with increased road traffic? 2.) Will this contribute to higher speeds of travel, and hence increased noise, pollution, and safety risks to pedestriansl (especially �liildran, since xoyt Ave. is the major commuting street for children in the area walking daily to Chelsea Heights Elementary School). 3.) Will this require removal of our existing boulevard trees, and have a neg�tive vieual impact on our avenue? 4.) Will thie require more rebuilding of our sidewalks, which many of us have already paid for over the past few yeare when they were replaced? 5.) Will this have a negative impact on our property values? Isn't Larpenteur Ave. close enough to serve the function of moving traffic in our area? If you have feelings about these issues that you would like to express, please ATTEND the meetings listed on the attached sheet, or please WRITE a brief letter to be taken to these meetings. YOUR SAY IS IMPORTANT AND CAN HAVE AN IMPACT AT THIS STAGE OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT! As neighbors we are in this together. Please get involved if you are able. If you cannot attend the meetings but intend to write a letter, please contact one of the volunteers listed below, who will assist you in coordinating a time to pick up your letter to be taken tc the project meeting and to the public hearing.

Hoyt Ave. currently measures out at approximately 30 ft. in width. Alternate proposals include a widening to either 32 ft. or 38 ft. This raises several concerns for us: 1.) Will the increased width go hand in hand with increased road traf£ic? 2.) Will this contribute to higher speeds of travel, and hence increased noise, pollution, and safety risks to pedestrians? (especially children, since Hoyt Ave. is the major commuting street for children in the area walking daily to Chelsea Aeights Elementary School). 3.) Will this require removal of any o£ our existing boulevard trees? 4.) Will this require more rebuilding of our sidewalks, which many of us have already paid for over the past few years when they were replaced? 5.) Will this have a negative effect on our property values? Isn't Larpenteur Ave. close enough to serve the function of moving traffic in our area? We are pleased that State Aid Funds are available for assisting us in rebuilding our road, and we appreciate your efforts to obtain them on our behalf. We are also hoping, however�that we will be gzanted permission to maintain�treet at its current width. Sincerel „ '�, David Arona4a " , � 950 W. Hoyt Ave. St. Paul, MI3 55117 487-2689 q5-I�i
