Design Process
The Capitol Mall Design Framework (MN CMDF, CMDF) is a design process which builds upon past planning efforts, including the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for the Minnesota State Capitol Area, 2021 Public Engagement Task Force on Commemorative Works, and the Capitol Mall (the Mall) Visitor Experience Survey. With the support of Minnesotans everywhere and the expertise of those who use and maintain the Capitol Mall every day, we will develop a more detailed design framework with actionable proposals to make the Capitol Mall more welcoming for more Minnesotans.

Pop-ups
From February 5 through 8 of 2024, representatives of community organizations, local business, government agencies and Capitol Area neighbors gathered with the planning team to develop a vision for the future of the Capitol Mall. This event took ideas gathered through research, community surveys and the lived experiences of participants and forged them together into an emerging design framework.

Community Design Charrette
In January and February of 2024, the CMDF planning team went into the community in a series of pop-ups to learn what Minnesotans want to see for the future of the Capitol Mall and its surrounding public spaces. We had inspiring conversations across the Twin Cities at Hmongtown Marketplace, Frogtown Community Center, Saint Paul Winter Carnival, and Midtown Global Market.

Survey One
Survey One was an online community survey that ran from January 17 to February 15, 2024. Through Survey One, the planning team heard from over 1,000 Minnesotans what the Capitol Mall means to them and how it can be more welcoming for more Minnesotans.

Survey Two Summary
Survey Two ran from March 8 - April 15 and had nearly 1,000 respondents. The Survey focused on 10 bold moves, proposals to make the Capitol Mall more welcoming, accessible, diverse and sustainable. Responses indicated that Minnesotans had an overwhelmingly positive opinion of the proposals. Suggestions for improvement which will be folded into future work included features to improve safety, parking management strategies to ensure balance between pedestrian and vehicular access, and critical approaches to historic preservation which balance contemporary needs with original design intent.

Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Community Commons has been identified as the first project to inaugurate the Capitol Mall Design Framework. This project aligns with priorities expressed by respondents to Survey One to expand tree canopy (#1 priority), install more benches and picnic tables (#2 priority) and add gardens and symbolic plantings (#3 priority). The project creates a new heart for community gathering, artistic expression and free speech.

Capitol Mall Design Framework
The Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board (CAAPB), with the help of Minnesotans, Saint Paul communities and local agencies, is creating a plan to better Connect, Preserve, Activate and Grow the Minnesota Capitol Mall. This process, called the Capitol Mall Design Framework, will rely on the input of Minnesotans from across the state. This website is your hub to learn about the project and how you can contribute!
The Capitol Area
The Capitol Area includes the districts of the Capitol Campus, Capitol Rice, Capitol Heights, the Freeway Corridor and five blocks of Fitzgerald Park. It is an essential center of employment and future opportunity for growth of commerce, affordable housing and walkable public places for Saint Paul. For more information on the Capitol Area, visit mn.gov/caapb.
The Capitol Campus
The Capitol Campus is within the Capitol Area and includes all buildings related to the Minnesota State Legislature and other government functions and the Capitol Grounds, the outdoor landscapes, paths, city streets and interstate bridges which connect these buildings.
The Capitol Mall
The Capitol Mall is a part of the Capitol Grounds. It is specifically the landscape which surrounds the Capitol building and extends southward toward Downtown, ending at 12th Street. It has a design legacy extending back to the vision of Cass Gilbert, architect of the Capitol building.
