The City of Saint Paul is developing an alley improvement program which will reconstruct one or two alleys per year and/or undertake substantial patching on a limited number of alleys; funding for alley improvements is limited.

Alleys to be reconstructed or patched are selected based on a variety of factors, including available funding, cost of improvements, existing issues, drainage issues, pavement age, pavement condition, etc.


Description
Public Works will be reconstructing the alley bounded by East 7th Street, Woodward Avenue, Payne Avenue, and the Northern Pacific Railroad. The reconstruction project will include grading and bituminous pavement, and any necessary drainage structures.


Location
Alley Index 1137-UN bounded by East 7th Street, Woodward Avenue, Payne Avenue, and the Railroad (east-west alley in Brunson's Addition, Block 11, Lots 1 and 12).

    Assessments

    The project is funded through Citywide Alley Program funding and assessments to the abutting property owners:

    • Property owners will receive a notification with the estimated assessment rate and a public hearing date at City Council before the start of construction.
    • After the project is completed, property owners will receive the special assessment bill.
    • More information about special assessments, including how the special assessment is calculated, is available at stpaul.gov/SpecialAssessments.
