The project includes enhancing the pedestrian and transit connections that stabilizes the retail tenant base and provides a level of market rate-senior rental housing not existing in the neighborhood currently. The City will take responsibility to make improvements to the infrastructure, ensuring safe pedestrian and auto transit from and within the Hamline Commons to the neighborhood. In addition, the City will provide adequate transit shelter that will connect the neighborhood to regional service in a convenient and pleasant manner through the Roseville Circulator system.
