Arlington Avenue Reconstruction Recording | February 26, 2026 Virtual Meeting

The City of Saint Paul held a virtual meeting on February 26, 2026, to discuss the Arlington Avenue Reconstruction Project, funded by a local sales tax initiative known as the Common Sense Program. The project aims to refresh the pavement, improve pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and enhance safety along Arlington Avenue. Two design concepts were presented: a shared use path combining bike and pedestrian traffic, and an on-street bike lane with separate sidewalks. Community feedback was solicited through polls and discussions on features such as raised crossings, bumpouts, and parking availability. The project is in the early design phase, with construction anticipated to begin in 2027. The meeting emphasized balancing infrastructure improvements with maintenance challenges and community preferences.
