About this study

Highway 51/Snelling Avenue and Montreal Avenue from Dayton Avenue to Highway 5/West Seventh Street study location mapView full-size map We are studying Snelling Ave. and Montreal Ave. from Dayton Ave. to Hwy 5/West Seventh St. in St. Paul to understand what needs and opportunities exist in the area to help inform future projects along the road including a resurfacing project planned for 2030. We anticipate that improved safety and accessibility will emerge as key needs. The study will help to ensure that future projects include features that meet the needs of all users in the area, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users and drivers.

Several portions of Snelling Ave. have undergone recent improvements, including between Grand Ave. and St. Clair Ave. which had a signal replacement at St. Clair Ave. and pedestrian improvements throughout in 2024. The segment between Ford Pkwy. and Montreal Ave. was also improved in 2024 with a four-to-three lane conversion, pedestrian refuge islands and a signal replacement at Montreal Ave. and Snelling Ave.

This study will seek the public’s input to better understand existing conditions and the transportation needs of all users through a variety of engagement events, including public meetings and surveys. We will also ask for feedback on potential improvements in the study area to establish a shared vision among study partners. Where possible, some of the short-term recommendations may be integrated into the 2030 resurfacing project.

  • Assess and document existing conditions
  • Ask people to share their transportation experiences and needs
