Capital City Bikeway

• Two-way, off-street bike trail along portions of Jackson Street, Kellogg Boulevard, St. Peter Street or Wabasha Street, 9th Street, and 10th Street.
• Scenic landscaping separating the bikeway from streets and sidewalks.
• Sustainable pavement and porous asphalt, which will help collect storm water runoff and keep pathways dry, increasing the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians.
• Streetscape features including benches, street lights, directional signage, and public art.

The Capital City Bikeway is part of the Saint Paul Bicycle Plan, a blueprint for doubling the number of bikeways in Saint Paul over the next several decades. The plan is designed to create outdoor vibrancy and enhance the economic vitality of Saint Paul, making it more accessible and attractive for people riding bikes, walking, running, driving, or using transit.

The installation of bikeways, trails and sidewalks across the country has proven to bring economic benefits to cities, including increased retail sales and property values, and fewer vacancies. These facilities also provide a place to engage in regular physical activity which has numerous documented health benefits. Learn how bikeways enhance the vitality of cities.

The Capital City Bikeway route covers some of downtown’s oldest streets. This project will allow these streets to be reconstructed and modernized to create a better experience for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists.
