This section of Phalen Boulevard wili complete the new roadway being constructed on the City's East Side, running between I-35E and Johnson Parkway. Once finished, the roadway will significantly enhance access to the near East Side by providing a better connection to the regional roadway system a# I-35E, and by providing a direct route from the Phalen Village area to I-35E north of Saint Paul's downtown. PROPOSEDIMPROVEMENTS Phalen Boufevard will be a two lane undivided roadway between Arcade Street and Johnson Parkway, with a 12' wide pedestrian/bicycle path an the north side of the road. Sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main, and private utilities will be installed in the roadway to serve future development adjacent to the roadway.

The Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority (RCRRA) has granted an easement to the City for the construction of Phalen Boulevard in the RCRRA right of way. As a condition of the easement, the City is required to acquire additional property as necessary to provide adequate width for future light rail transit (LRT) in the corridor.
