The Station Area Plans’ study areacontains several known historic resources.The Station Area Plans address historic resources in three main ways: Confirms that work should conform to the program for preservation. Ara Plans call for buildings with historic character to be preserved. Avoiding impacts to locally designated historic buildings in choosing an alignment.In July 2015, the HPC reviewed the Station Area Plans and issued a resolution:1. Assessment of historic resources within the area of potential effect (APE) should beconducted prior to any decisions being made regarding BRT alignment, stationlocations, and station design.2. Property impacts to all historic properties should be avoided in choosing a BRTalignment, not just impacts to locally designated historic properties.3. Buildings with historic character should be preserved in all station areas, includingSun Ray.4. Future recommendations and implementation should be consistent with the HistoricPreservation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapters 73 and 74 of the SaintPaul Legislative Code.BackgroundThe Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in cooperation with Metro Transit and the MetropolitanCouncil is proposing the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project that is a proposed 10-mile bustransit route with stations between Union Depot in Saint Paul and downtown Woodbury.Dedicated bus rapid transit, or BRT, is often considered the transit technology that is most likelight-rail transit. Dedicated BRT includes a package of transit enhancements that deliver fast,comfortable and cost-effective services using special roadways or lanes dedicated to the exclusiveuse of buses.- Continued -
No new lanes will be added to I-94. The METRO Gold Line will be Minnesota's first BRT line thatoperates primarily within exclusive bus-only lanes, while other portions of the line will operatewithin mixed traffic lanes. These exclusive lanes are dedicated only to transit buses and will bebuilt on the north side of I-94. These separate lanes ensure buses are never delayed due to trafficcongestion. Approximately 80 percent of the METRO Gold Line will have exclusive lanes dedicatedonly to buses.Gold Line stations will provide a comfortable, secure waiting space and a variety of customeramenities. These features include: Bike parking Real-time bus schedule information displays On-demand heat Trash and recycling bins Emergency telephones Security cameras Ticket machinesThe FTA initiated the consultation process under the regulations for Section 106 of the NationalHistoric Preservation Act (NHPA). The HPC requested consulting party status in 2015 toparticipate in the determination of effect, if any, the project will have on locally designatedHeritage Districts, National Register of Historic Places properties or those properties determinedto meet the criteria for listing on the National Register.STAFF COMMENTSFor this discussion comments are only focusing on the proposed station areas. There are sixproposed stations that will be within heritage districts or adjacent to heritage sites:Dayton’s Bluff847 Hudson (Street closure & rerouting)657 ConwayLowertown237 4th Street E.340 SibleyLandmark Center/Rice Park75 5th Street W.National Register listed350 Robert (Manhattan Building)This is the commissions first opportunity to comment on this aspect of Gold Line BRT. The stationareas will include street and sidewalk work to maintain pedestrian sidewalk space and areas forbuses to pull in from traffic lanes. Comments for this review are limited to the route/stationareas and possible affects to these areas or nearby historic resources.The station placement and street/sidewalk route should have little to no effect on historicresources. The station design, that will follow later this spring for HPC comment, may causeaffects to occur. There may also be minor alterations to the plan between now and then. Staffaskes that the commission delegate to staff the ability to comment on any minor issues that mayarise with the project and representing the HPC at future stakeholder meetings.SUGGESTED MOTIONI move that the HPC concurs with the Gold Line BRT proposed station areas and looks forward toreviewing the proposed station design when available and delegate to staff the ability tocomment on any minor issues that may arise with the project as per presented testimony,submitted documentation and information provided in the staff report.- End -
