Jay Severance
Residence: 350 St Peter St. Unit 409
Business: The Eivapean Table, Suite 295
I,owry Skyway, St Paul, MI3 55102
My name is Jay Severauee. My wife Kathryn and I live in the Lowry Build'mg and atso
operate a retail store, The European Table, on the Lowry Skyway.
We relocated to St Paul in 2006 in part because of the Skyway System. We had tived in
an urban setting in Europe, and enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to
restaurants, theatres and shopping. After returning to the US, we searched for a simiiaz
urban living situation, and explored many cities, mostly in warm weather azeas. Over the
years we had been frequent visitors to St Paul for SPCO, opera, theatre and other events.
We enjoyed the culture here, and having the Skyway made it possible to get almost
anywhere by foot regardless of the weather. In 2005 we became aware of the Lowty
Lofts, and decided to make center-city St Paul our new urban home, later setting up our
retail business on the skyway in the Lowry.
One of our first encounters with the limitations of the Skywa.y was in the Fa11 of 2006.
While walking back from the Farmer's Mazket one Saturday, we decided to take the
skyway back home, and ended up getting locked into a section of the skyway. i won't go
into details, but there were no signs or indications the Skyway was closed, only a double
door ihat altowed access but not egress. I came close to huniug in a fire alann to escape,
but fortiwately for us someone came by and let us out.
Since that time, we have experienced inadequate, inconsistenrt and confusing signage,
other instances of locked doors on xnain segments of the skyway, lack of information and
lunitations on access and egress from and to street level, and some secwity issues,
particulazly when the skyway is not patrolled, and one instance of the 911 medical first
responders not being able to find the Skyway. One evening in Febraary, I took tha
Skyway to a light rail hearing in the Metropolitan Council chambers and when returning
at 7:3 U pm found that the doors ieading to the skyway were locked. I was fortunate to
have brought a coat because I had to take the street back to the L,owry.
I have been participating in open meetings of ttte Skyway committee for a yeaz and a
hal£ I believe they aze developing a very good plan for making the Skyway viable and
restoring it as a competitive advantage for living, working and doing business in
Downtown St Pau1.
The issue before you is only ii�e first step. Without having consistent and prominently
posted hours of operarion and access, the plans to improve the Skyway system cannot be
successfuily implemented. I urge you to approve the measure before you.

Why are you punishing the tax-paying employees who start woric at
6:00 am by not allowing us to use the skyway to get to our jobs? We
need the skyway to get from all parking ramps and lots in our below
zero winters, rainy springs, and 90 degree summers. Since this was
the point of creating a skyway system in St. Paul, I do not
understand how you can Cake it away from us.

Subject: <no subject>
Councifinember Thune, (Dave);
This is a follow up to our conversation for the need to have consistency
concerning the operation of St. Paul's downtown skyway system.
More and more, there is growing consensus on the slowing growth of our
economy both nationally and locally. This slowed growth will result in zero
or negative grov✓th which many regard as a recession. The result for St.
Paul tax payers is the likefihood of having a decrease in revenue available
to pay for city services. A decrease in revenue requires the discussion of
budget cuts or tax increases, both of which are very di�cult in a
recession. History shows us that during a slow economy the demand for city
services increases with an increase in crime. At the same time, tax
increases during a recession can hamper economic recovery.
One way to raise revenue without a decrease in city services or an increase
in property taxes is to grow the local economy with our convention busi�ess.
It is the Republican National Convention this September which gives us hope
in having an economic rebound in the end of the third quarter. Not only
will we see economic opportunity, but this wiil be one of the greatest
marketing events our city will ever see. During the co�vention we will
witness worldwide media attention, international businesses conducting
government affairs and delegates from around the country observing St. Paul
for the first time. This is when St. Paul has the opportunity to sell
itself to prospective convention planners for future events.
Having the skyway system work in a consistent manner is a priority in making
St. Paul attractive. It goes without saying that with a year round average
temperature in the 3�'s, St. Paul's Convention and Visitors Bureau needs to
show potential convention planners that our skyway system is a safe,
consistent and predictable experience regardless of the weather.
To that end, the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association (M�BA) and its
members support your efforts in having St. Paul's skyway system be uniform
in operation. Again, common sense demands that one of the selling points of
our beautiful city is having the consistency and predictability of a safe
and uniform skyway system.

RE: UNIFORM SiCYWAY HOURS
1 HAVE HAD A BUSINESS IN THE SKYWAY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND THOUGH I AM A LUNCHl1ME,
SOtfPiSAND1MCH STORE, I HAVE HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNffY TO HEAR COMMENTS REGARDING 1}1E SKYWAY
HOURS.
RESIDENTS WHO WOULp L1KE TO ENJpY THE ORDWAY, DINE AT THE ST. PAUL HOTEI, HAVE A DRINK, OR
CELEBRATE NEW YEARS EVE ATA DOWNTOWN LOCAiION, PlAN THE TIMING OF THEIR EVENT CAREFULLY ,
OTtiERWfSE THEY WfLL FfND TFiEMSELVES LOCKED �UT OF THE SKYWAY. DOWNTOWN RESIDENTS W1LL HURRY
HOME FROM THEIR DOWNTOWN JOBS BECAUSE THE SKYWAY MAY BE CLOSED AND THEY WONT GET 7HRU TO
THEIR CONDp/APAR'fMENT.
PEOPLE WHO WORK DOWNTOWN HURRY TO 7HEIR PARKIfVG LOCA770NS ... THEY DONT "HANG AROUND" TO
tiAVE DINNER OR COCKTAILS WITH CO-WORKERS BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY WQNT BE ABLE Td GET THRU THE
SKYWAY TO THEIR PARKING LOCA710NS.
1T APPEARS 11iAT EVERYONE WHO L1VES AND/OR WORKS IN DOWNTt?WN ST. PAUL ARE 1N A CONSTAM RUSH
TO GET HOME TO THEIR DOWNTOWN RESIDENCE OR OUT OF TOWN BEFORE THE SKYWAY CLOSES ... IT IS A
FOCUS AND TOTALLY CONTRARY TO WHAT DOWNTOWN AND THE SKYWAY SYS7EM IS INTENDED TO BE ABOUT.
IF THE SKYWAY SYSTEM IS MEANT TO BE AN INDOOR, CONTROLLED "SIDEWALlC' BY DEFINI't10N, THEN WHY IS IT
EVER CLOSED? IF THE SKYWAY SYSTEM NEVER CLOSED, I WOULD GUESS MANY POSITNE OUTCOMES WOULD
BE ACHiEVED:
..... MOftE PEOPLE WOWLD WANTTO LNE DOWNTOWN
.... MORE PEOPLE WOULD FEEL FREE TO GO OUT AND STAY OU7 AT
RESTAURANTS, BARS, THEATERS, ART GALLERIES, SPORIING
EVENTS, ETC.
MORE BUSINESSES WOULD WANT TO OPEN AND STAY OPEN IF
THEY KNEW THERE WERE PEOPLE AROUND (BOTH THOSE WHO
LNE AND WORK pOWNTOWN) WHO COULD FREELY MOVE THRU
TIiE SKYWAY AND GET TO THEIR DESTINAl10N ... AND JUSTAS
�MPORTANT, SACK TO THEIR DOWNTOW(V HOME OR PAf2KING
LOCAl10N THRU AN OPEN SKYWAY.
I'M CERTAIN THERE ARE ISSUES I AM NOT AWARE OF ... AND COSTS ASSOCIATED ... BUT IT SEEMS THAT OPEN
SKYWAYS 4S A WINMt1N SITUATIOtd FOR NOUSING, DOWidTOWM BUStidESS, AND MORE INtpORTANTLY, THE
PEOPL.E WHO WANT TO SUPPORT DOWNTOWN ST. PAU�.

Deas Councilman Thvae,
Pm wsiring m espress concerns about the access and s`s a" on the St Paul skyway system. 17ris stems &om two issues. Fust,
my wife aad T mexe txapped on the skyaa� zeceutly, and on the bunk of tuming in an emezga�cy z]aan when we weze freed by a
6y-passer. Second, thexe seetns Yo be tittle ot no sigaage ontside the slty�c¢�ay system, �az.ticularly ai stceet levet tellvig how to get
on the skyway system. Tlii'xd, rhe signage aa the systeru is inaeleqnate paxtic�lazly to a2ett people to open/ckosing times, and
sernices available an dte skyway.
We receatly purchased a lofr in the Z.owry buitding, �and we met pou at a functian at the St Paul Hotelj. ��e aze in the 6nal
negotiatians to open a zetatl stare on the samp in the Lowsy Buildiag. We are doing this with the enco�agecnrmt c�f ltichazd
Pa}conen (mho is beiag vexy accommodaring to in2lce dvs hajapen), but we ate vetg coacemed about tlie absli¢y to sustain a zeta3i
bvsiness oa tha skyway...eeidenced hy the laEge�umbex af cacaat stes�es, lack e�f si�ma�e, and aaess ]imitations.
I xvznt to pmvade a detailed descrilnEton of aur entcapcnar� On Sat�rscday the 7'� of Septemt�et, mp wife and I walked from rhe
Lowry to Galthier P3aza on the sky.waq-en. mate ta the faemes.'s maiket. After ptuchasing sQme items, we thought we wonld IiL•e

entet the sl�y ovex Warnuta C7�xough a seh of double doaxs. Weprozeei3ed over the stteeY and about halfiva}� throuugh the
Park Square b' ild",o (Railroad buttdis�g?) and came to anoth� set of doors which were tucke,d, and n�acked with a siga thax aa
alanu wwld so�nd if we tried to eater. We a�alkeil back F.asx to� the double doots ia the Lowercown building whece we enteced,

Dear City Council Members,
I understand that the hearing on the ordinance to set uniform skyway
hours wiil be heard by you on March 19th. My husband and I live in the
Airye Condominiums at 6th and Jackson, and my company o�ce is in the
Securian Tower. We moved from our suburban home to downtown in 2001 and
t moved my company office to Saint Paui in 2004.
Needless to say, we are dependent on an open skyway system. We live and
enjoy downtown +n great part because of this network.
Thank you to Councilman Thune for advancing this issue, and thank you
all for considering this ordinance. I urge you to pass it and with it
continue the vital deveiopment of our downtown Saint Paul neighborhood.

We moved from Bloomington to �owntown St Pauf just over four years ago. The downtown skyway
system played a big part in our decision to locate in the Airye Condominiums. We absolutely love living
here and truiy hope that the skyway system wi11 remain available (at ieast until midnight) to residents. We
enjoy frequent events downtown and love the safety and ease of ihe skyways. Who needs to winter in
Florida with this set up? Please cast your vote in favor of uniform skyway hours that does enhance a
downtown lifestyle and perhaps, encourage more peopie to move to this town. Things looked very
promising five years ago. We need to get back on track.

Please vote yes for uniform skyway hours. My husband, who is a wheelchair
user, and i rely on the skyways for work and leisure. We would have to go
outside late at night and in poor weather without the skyways being open.
They are very important to us both for health reasons and for the
convenience.

Subject: Skyway hours
It has been brought to my attention that there is is a current ordinance proposal coming up on Mar. 19. i
am writing to ask that each of you support and standardizing of skyway hours and a late enough closing
time to allow the use of the skyway following events at the Ordway and Excel.
We have resided in Lowertown for 2 years, having sold our home in Highland Park and purposely
choosing to live in downtown St. Paul rather than downtown Minneapolis. This was done even though we
were more familiar with Minneapolis, having lived there previously and also the fact that 2 years ago our
dollar wouid have bought us more square footage in Mpts. rather that St. Paul.
(n the past two years, though the popu{ation of Lowertown has increased fairly dramatically, we have seen
negative occurences, such as the conflict over hoiiday lighting in Mears Park and the undependable
skyway hours. These events, added to the more serious issues such as the lack of a decent grocery store
and so many shops closing, make us wonder about the future of downtown St. Paul. We chose to live in
St. Paul because of the quiet, historical dignity, but quiet does not mean "dead".
Piease support getting the skyway hours late enough so that we can attend the Orday and Excel events
and still walk home through the skyways late in the evening. And so our friends staying at and supporting
downtown hotels can use the skyways late in the evening/early morning hours to return to their hotel.
Thank you for taking your time to address this issue.

Re: Skyways
On December 31, 2007 I retired after 35 years of selling real estate.
Since 1982 I have been a resident of Downtown St. Paul — on the
Skyway system - and over the years have sold hundreds of Downtown
condominiums.
The Skyway system has been one of the greatest incentives to choosing
the convenient Downtown tifestyte, even for those residents whose
homes are not directly connected.
For residents who attend nighttime cultural or athleric events, the
skyways are often the preferred route to use, especially during the
frigid, icy winters or sweltering summers. It is criticat for many of the
elderly and/or disabied persons who have chosen Downtown for safety
reasons.
Many of these evening events continue well past ten o'clock. Closing
portions of the Skyway at such an early hour requires residents of some
of the buildings to take a circuitous (and sometimes unfamiliar route) in
order to arrive home.
If we want our powntown community to survive and thrive, we must be
sensitive to the needs of the persons who have chosen to invest in the
fabric of our special neighborhood.

I park in the Galtier ramp in downtown St Paul. I start at 6:00 in
the morning. The skyway entrance to the 375 ]ackson Bidg is locked
and doesn't open until 6:00 but I have to be at work by that time.
I would like the skyway access to be open by 5:30.
I have walked outside several times and there are often some creepy
characters out there and for safety reason would like to walk
inside. Is there someone that I need to contact regarding this?

I need the skyway to be open before am. My working hours start at
am, I park at Broadway & Kellogg or in the city ramp, block 19, and
its a long, cold walk to the first national bank bld. Metro Square,
with a guard does not open until 6 and neither does the depot.
Traffic is terrible, coming in and going out of St Paul: parking is
expensive. Please keep our skyways open,

I am employed downtown St Paul and love the skyway system. I must admit
that I find it somewhat amusing this debate about having the system open
6am to 2am daily when the BATHROOMS DONT OPEN UNTIL 8:30AM AND WHO
KNOWS WHEN THEY CLOSE.
That's correct - the bathrooms in Town Square, lst Bank hallway and down
the hall from DEED aren't open until 8:30am. You have no idea how many
times individuals going to work (or possibly going home) would like to
have seen these open for longer hours. What are you going to do when
having the skyways open until 2am with no bathrooms open? I pity the
maintenance people in these buildings once this happens because they
unfortunately will be having additional "matters" that would then have
to be cleaned up.
Do you know how well Yhe secret of where to find bathrooms is kept?
After working DT for six years, I just found the lst Bank haflway
bathrooms about two months ago. Something really needs to be done about
showing locations for public bathrooms both for now as well as during
the convention. There are skyway maps both printed and posted in various
locations - bathrooms should be indicated on same.
I'm hoping that these inconsistencies are remedied. Quite frankly, I
can't see any advantage of having the skyways open so late - is there
actually nightlife happening DT that this would be warranted? Who would
be in the skyways this late? Personally I could see going earlier (like
Sam) for those who have to work OT or have flex hours.
Thanks for your consideration to the above.
