The City of Saint Paul’s Capital City Bikeway (CCB) Network Study identified Kellogg Boulevard as the southern leg of the downtown bikeway network. The first segment, from St. Peter Street to Jackson Street, connects to the Jackson Street CCB constructed in 2016-17. Phase 1 included roadway reconstruction, landscaped medians, a two-way bikeway, increased pedestrian access, upgraded traffic signals, and utility relocations.

Bolton & Menk provided design services for this federally funded project, including engagement and coordination with multiple agencies, including MnDOT. The project team partnered with local firms to manage various aspects and worked through conceptual alternatives on a tight schedule. The team collaborated with city departments to finalize landscaping and maintenance plans and coordinated with MnDOT’s Cultural Resources Unit and the State Historic Preservation Office to maintain the historic nature of Saint Paul City Hall and Ramsey County Courthouse. The design meets the city’s multimodal goals and current bikeway standards.

In 2023, the first segment was substantially completed, featuring a wider sidewalk, a two-way separated bikeway, and new trees and landscaping. This project enhances downtown Saint Paul’s bike facilities and connects to other separated bikeways, prioritizing pedestrians, bicyclists, and green space.
