Marshall Avenue Livable Streets Project

Counts of bicyclists and pedestrians took place on the Marshall Avenue/Lake Street Bridge in September of 2006, May of 2007, and September of 2007 and 2008. Additional counts are being conducted monthly since February 2009. This project is also within the boundaries of the St Paul Smart Trips Union Park Project that will begin in the summer/fall of 2009.

Leading the way for our communities
We need both public resources and public engagement to create transit that meets people's needs.

Bicycles May Use Full Lane

The first "Bikes May Use Full Lane" signs (in this region) have now been erected on Marshall Ave in St. Paul (between Cretin Ave. and the river). The sign reinforces existing traffic law that allows bicyclists to "take the lane" when it is necessary for their safety.... like going downhill fast! Don't be shy—position your bicycle in the center of the lane and hold your position.
