Snelling Avenue <br />Snelling Avenue is a State highway that crosses Falcon Heights from north to south. It is <br />the most heavily traveled traffic artery in the City. South of Hoyt Avenue, Snelling is the <br />boundary between the Minnesota State Fair and St. Paul's Como neighborhood. North of <br />Crawford Avenue, Snelling is a residential boulevard, with frontage streets and medians <br />separating homes from the highway. On the west side, deep lots backing up to the <br />University fields hint at the original rural character of this section of the avenue. <br />No significant change is expected on Snelling Avenue in Falcon Heights outside the <br />Larpenteur Corridor for the life of this plan. Therefore, this section will focus on the <br />opportunities on Larpenteur Avenue. However, because Snelling passes through the heart <br />of the City and the central commercial district and borders three large neighborhoods, it <br />is a vital component in the City's objectives of building connections within the City, <br />encouraging healthy, active living and enhancing community identity. Certain general <br />goals and policies in this section will also be applied to Snelling, and any corridor study <br />undertaken for Larpenteur Avenue will include Snelling. <br />Recently developed or unlikely to change <br />~ Houses (single family) <br />- R-2 duplex and attached housing <br />- Existing Multi-Family <br />~ Business and Retail <br />Recreational & Cultural <br />Figure 8: The Larpenteur Corridor in Falcon Heights <br />• <br />• <br /> <br />Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan 2008 Draft -January, 2008 Part II: Land Use & Housing, Page II-12 <br />The Larpenteur Corridor in Falcon Heights Today <br />
