SOUTH WABASHA WALL
from Plato Blvcl. To Coacord Street
City of Saint Paul Project B-1183
Wall No W0006
Report Prepazed 7/8/20d4
Public Hearing - To Be Scheduled
PROJECT:
This proj ect requires removal and replacement of an 80 year old concrete retau�uig wall along the
sandrock/limestone bluff between Plato Blvd. and Concord Streek The proj ect inciudes new
sidewalks and addition of ornamental lighting and ornamental steel safety railings. Artist, Seitu
Jones, was hired by REDA to aid Public Works in the final design and detailing.
EXISTING CONDITION:
The existing wail is in poor structural condition. The wall's primary purpose is to catch falling
rock and debris above Wabasha Street. The area behind the wall has filIed up witti sand and rock.
PROPOSED INIPROVEMENTS:
Remove the existiug concrete wall and sidewalk. Build a new concrete wall with relief pattems
designed by the artist. Install new lantem and ornamental lighting. Install new omainental steel
safety raiIings. Constnxct new sidewalk.
ALTERNATNES:
Replace the wall as originally design with no safety railings or added lighting. This would
compromise safety for pedestrians especialFy in the evening hours.
The "do nothing altemafive" would prolong problems with falling rock and debris. The wall
would continue to be an unsighfly structure in the streetscape.
POSTt'VE BENEFTTS:
The pmposed design combines functional and aesthetic treahnents in one project which is
economioal and functional.
ADVERSE EFFECTS:
Traffic will be restricted during the construction season in 2004. There aze no long term adverse
effects. We do not anticipate that there will be significant increases in maintenance costs to the
City or the State.
TIlVIF, SCHEDULE:
It is intended to award a contract in September of 2004 and complete the work by May of 2005.
