The design of 35E, from West 7th to Kellogg Boulevard was the result of a Federal Court Lawsuit by a group called R.I.P. 35E. According to this settlement, speed is limited to 45 M.P.H. and large trucks are banned.
When Rep. Tim Wilkin recently proposed raising the speed limit to 55, the old settlement was dusted off and distributed around Saint Paul City Hall. Contrary to what Wilkin and his kind think, this settlement cannot just be set aside by an state statute or ordinance. Any attempt to raise the speed limit or introduce large trucks on this portion of 35E would be met forcefully with legal action, in Federal Court, to enforce the original agreement.
