Project Overview
The City Parks and Recreation Department will engage community members to inform and develop a Plan for Summit Avenue that reviews the corridor from the Mississippi River to Downtown Saint Paul. This Plan will evaluate opportunities, constraints, and feasibility of a regional trail facility within the corridor and will serve as a guide to future transportation, pedestrian, and parkway improvements.
Funding for the Plan has been secured from the Parks and Trails Legacy Grant.
Project Update:
Due to an active citizen petition pertaining to the project, the scheduled review of the Summit Avenue Regional Trail Plan by the Metropolitan Council on Aug 23 was suspended. The City of Saint Paul is currently evaluating next steps to make a determination on the petition, which requests that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) be completed for the project.
