The eight-mile long, east-west greenway corridor connects the Mississippi River at Lilydale, just downstream of its confluence with the Minnesota River, to the Mississippi River at South St. Paul. Most of the paved trail along the corridor exists today with trailheads at the Big Rivers Regional Trailhead in Lilydale and the Simon’s Ravine Trailhead in Kaposia Park on Concord Street North. The greenway’s context is urban and suburban development consisting of residential and commercial areas and parks in Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul. The River to River Greenway Master Plan f describes enhancements to the existing trail to bring it up to regional standards; f envisions improvements to water quality, habitat, recreation, and non-motorized transportation along the corridor; f provides strategies for interpretation, resource stewardship, development, land acquisition, and operations; The River to River Greenway is shown in red on the map above. f estimates project costs; f and satisfies requirements for Metropolitan Council regional destination trail and greenway planning. River to River Greenway MASTER PLAN 2015 1 Dakota County Greenway Vision In the 2008 Dakota County Park System Plan and the 2010 Dakota County Greenway Guidebook, the County has established a progressive vision for an interconnected system of open space corridors – i.e. greenways. Minneapolis’ Grand Rounds system of parks and trails serves as an example and an inspiration for the Dakota County greenway vision. Dakota County Park System Plan The 2008 Dakota County Park System Plan established the foundation for a county- wide greenway network by envisioning regional greenways that connect parks, schools, local trails, and libraries through the nonrural portions of the county. Dakota County’s greenway vision suggests 200 miles of regional greenways, 2/3 of which are on land currently in public or semipublic ownership. A priority is to implement more than 50 miles of greenways by 2020. Dakota County Greenway Collaborative: The Greenway Guidebook In 2010, Dakota County adopted the Dakota County Greenway Guidebook as a framework for greenway development. The guidebook establishes a framework for a collaborative approach to governance, stewardship, design, and operation of greenways. 2 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION PLANNING CONTEXT The River to River Greenway travels through the cities of Lilydale, Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul. Several planning efforts guide the greenway’s development: f Metropolitan Council 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan, December 2010 f Dakota County Park System Plan, 2008 f Dakota County Greenway Guidebook, 2010 f City of Mendota Heights 2030 Comprehensive Plan f City of South St. Paul 2030 Comprehensive Plan f City of West St. Paul 2030 Comprehensive Plan f West St. Paul Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan f Robert Street Grade Separated Crossing Feasibility Study f Future Development at Mendota Plaza f TH 110 Grade Separated Crossing Study River to River Greenway MASTER PLAN 2015 3 GREENWAY MASTER PLANNING PROCESS T echnical Advisory Group The eight-month-long planning process was a collaborative effort of multiple agencies and jurisdictions. A technical advisory group met regularly, Dakota County led the process with advice from a technical advisory group formed to guide the master plan. including representatives from: f City of Mendota Heights Stakeholder Input f City of West St. Paul A technical advisory group met during each phase of master planning to provide guidance, provide insight f City of South St. Paul into technical questions, explore options, identify partnership opportunities, and discuss concurrent projects. f Dakota County Parks Department In addition to providing specific guidance, the TAG institutionalized a collaborative planning process and established relationships across agencies with a stake in implementing the master plan. Four TAG meetings f Dakota County Office of Planning were held on Sept. 11, Oct. 23, Dec. 11, 2014, and Feb. 18, 2015. State Health Improvement Program (SHIP) Priority Populations Input Specific outreach was made to engage and get input from SHIP priority populations. These populations include SHIP Priority Populations Input people over 55 years old, children, people with lower median income, and people with mobility issues. A questionnaire was distributed at several locations asking for feedback on trail accessibility, connections, and SHIP priority population input included the amenity enhancements. The following outreach efforts were made: following desires: f More local trail connections, especially f Living Longer Strong meeting on September 18, 2014 along Oakdale and Marie Avenues f Open House at Covington Court Apartments on Marie Avenue, held in coordination with the Marie f Pedestrian-scale lighting along the entire Ave/Oakdale Ave Trail Feasibility Study on October 9, 2014 corridor, especially during the fall and f Joint Open House with the West St. Paul Marie-Oakdale Feasibility Study on November 5, 2015 winter when the sun sets early f Questionnaires distributed to parents of students who attend Garlough Elementary School f Benches at frequent locations along the f trail and placed in groups of 2-3 benches Presentation at and input received at Thompson Park Advisory Council for Seniors meeting on January for larger walking groups 22, 2015 See the box to the left for specific comments gathered from these groups. 4 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION February 2015 Open House

    395 John Ireland Blvd. St. Paul, MN 55155 October 15, 2019 To the Reader: The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a comprehensive four-year schedule of planned transportation projects in Minnesota for state fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. These projects are for state trunk highways, local roads and bridges, rail crossings and transit capital and operating assistance. This document represents an investment of over $6.7 billion in federal, state, and local funds over the four years. This document is the statewide transportation program in which MnDOT, local governments, and community and business interest groups worked together in eight District Area Transportation Partnerships (ATPs) to discuss regional priorities and reach agreement on important transportation investments. This state process was developed in response to the Federal “Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991” which focused on enhanced planning processes, greater state and local government responsibility, and more citizen input to decision making. The process has continued under the following acts: The 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21); the 2005 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU); the 2012 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21); and the 2015 Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST), signed into law December 4, 2015. Any questions and comments on specific projects included in this program may be directed to the identified MnDOT District Transportation office listed in the Program Listing sections of the document. To further assist you in using this information, a searchable database will be available by October 2019 on the Internet at: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/planning/program/stip.html To request any MnDOT document in an alternative format, please call 651-366-4720.

    Business Item No. 2018-2 Community Development Committee Meeting Date: January 16, 2018 For the Metropolitan Council meeting of January 24, 2018 Subject: Robert Piram Regional Trail Master Plan Amendment, Saint Paul District(s), Member(s): District 13, Richard Kramer Policy/Legal Reference: MN Statute 473.313; Planning Strategy 1 2040 Regional Park Policy Plan Staff Prepared/Presented: Michael Peterka, Planner (651-602-1361) Division/Department: Community Development / Regional Planning Proposed Action That the Metropolitan Council: 1. Approve the Robert Piram Regional Trail Master Plan Amendment. 2. Require Saint Paul to submit estimated development costs related to the overpass of Barge Channel Road to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval prior to seeking grants for its development. 3. Require that prior to initiating development of the regional trail, preliminary plans must be sent to Scott Dentz, Interceptor Engineering Manager at Metropolitan Council Environmental Services, for review in order to assess the potential impacts to the regional interceptor system. Background Saint Paul has submitted a master plan amendment for the Robert Piram Regional Trail, formerly named the Harriet Island-South St. Paul Regional Trail. When complete, the regional trail will travel 3.4 miles and connect Lilydale-Harriet Island Regional Park in Saint Paul to the River to River Greenway and Mississippi River Regional Trails at Kaposia Landing in South St. Paul. The regional trail will complete an important gap in the system and make connections to existing and planned trails that lead to downtown Saint Paul and Hastings along the Mississippi River, and Burnsville along the Minnesota River. The current master plan for the regional trail was approved by the Metropolitan Council in April 2016.
