Title
Amending Council File RES 25-1919 to add dimensions to the Saint Peter Bridge Municipal State Aid variance request.
Body
WHEREAS, on December 17, 2025 the City Council of the City of Saint Paul adopted Council File No. RES 25-1919 which authorized the Department of Public Works to request a variance
for a single lane one-way roadway on MSAS 236 Saint Peter Street Bridge 62897 from 11th Street to 12th Street; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to add more specific dimensions to the request, specifically that Minnesota State Aid Rule 8820.9936 states that one-way streets must have at least two through-traffic lanes with twenty-four feet (24’) between the curbs; and
WHEREAS, St Peter Street N across the Bridge 62897 is proposed to be a single lane one-way roadway with twenty foot (20’) roadway width in order to make space for a separated bikeway on the bridge; and
WHEREAS, modifying Bridge 62897 to be a single lane twenty foot (20’) wide one-way roadway would require a variance from Municipal State Aid Rules subject to the approval of the Minnesota Department of Transportation; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that all other provisions of RES 25-1919, as amended, remain in full force and effect; and be it finally
RESOLVED, that Council File No. RES 25-1919 is hereby amended to reflect these changes.
