Dale Street Safety Conversion

Contact us

Ramsey County, in collaboration with the cities of Roseville and Saint Paul, is working to redesign Dale Street between Highway 36 and north of Como Avenue. This redesign will include a 4-to-3 lane conversion of Dale Street to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes occurring along the roadway.

The roadway will be resurfaced and restriped and signals will be replaced or updated along the corridor. The early phases of the design process will include engagement with the community to explore additional pedestrian and bicycle enhancements.

Selected contractor: Park Construction Company

Community engagement

Public engagement began in early 2023.

Open houses:

December 2023: View presentation video.

June 2023: Shared conceptual design. Feedback gathered during this open house will inform the final design of the conversion. The following documents highlight the themes heard through engagement and were presented during the open house.

January 2023: The project team connected with more than 80 community members sharing information about the design process and discussing potential design solutions.
Attendees shared their input through comment forms, in-person activities and conversations with the project team.
