Friday, April 26, 2024: Skyway Governance Advisory Committee, 9-10:30 a.m.

Agenda:

• Skyway Hours Exception application by Sherman Associates for Landmark Towers -- A temporary wall has blocked access to the elevator on the skyway level in the building (345 St. Peter Street), which has made the pedestrian corridor narrower. The elevator had previously allowed pedestrians to exit to the street level and provided an alternate pedestrian route through the building. The property owner is also seeking to permanently close that alternate route and public access to the elevator.
• Public safety updates and Q&A (Saint Paul Police Dept., Metro Transit Police, and Downtown Alliance)
• Dept. of Safety and Inspections updates and Q&A
