RESOLUTION NO. 2006-64 APPROVING THE TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION LOWERING THE STATEWIDE RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY SPEED LIMIT TO 25 MPH; AND APPROVING STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THE 25 MPH RESIDENTIAL SPEED LIMIT Assistant Engineer Lillehaug said the Transportation Commission at their March 16, 2006, meeting, asked staff to review the City's Speed Limit Policy and prepare a report for consideration of a 25 MPH Speed Limit Policy for residential areas. On April 20, 2006, staff recommended that the current Speed Limit Policy of 30 MPH be maintained unless documented safety issues exist and a speed study had been conducted by Mn/DOT or the statewide limit was lowered to 25 MPH. On May 18, 2006, the Transportation Commissioners voted to recommend to the Council adoption of a resolution recommending a 25 MPH speed limit policy in residential areas. Staff evaluated the current policy, including safety, cost, implementation strategy and enforcement. Mr. Lillehaug stated that safety was the most important factor. He said the more consistent something was the safer it was. Mr. Lillehaug added changing the approximately 1100 speed limit signs on residential streets would be expensive and no funds have been designated for this purpose. Mr. Lillehaug noted that a number of requests have been received to lower the speed limit. Streets classified as collector or arterial could not be posted lower than 30 MPH. Some roads were state aid roads where the City receives funding for maintenance of the roads. Reclassifying the roads could affect the City's budget. Staff recommended rather than adopting a 25 MPH Speed Limit Policy, they recommended a City resolution calling for a statewide lowering of the urban, residential speed limit on local roadways from 30 MPH to 25 MPH. He said if the state to lowered the speed limit statewide, more cities would implement the 25 MPH speeds making more consistent speeds statewide. Jean White, a member of the Transportation Commission summarized the discussion on this issue at the May Transportation Commission meeting. Page 8 Minutes/Edina City Council/iune 6, 2006 Member Hulbert questioned whether this issue could be used by the Transportation Commission as an addition to their tool box to aid traffic calming. She further suggested not making a decision until information was received from other cities about their speed policies. Mr. Hughes said in summary, a motion could be adopted that would refer the issue back to the Transportation Commission because they did not have a full complement of members when the vote was taken and recommend their focus being on other cities who have implemented a 25 MPH residential speed limit and what criteria they used for their decision. He indicated another scenario would be to keep the issue at the Council level and direct staff to find information from other cities and bring that information directly back to the Council. Following a Council discussion, Member Swenson made a motion approving the following resolution as follows: RESOLUTION NO. 2006-64 RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR STATEWIDE LOCAL, RESIDENTIAL ROADWAY 25 MPH SPEED LIMIT WHEREAS, drivers traveling at high speeds are less aware of their surroundings and have less time to notice and react to pedestrians and bicyclists; and WHEREAS, relatively small increases in vehicle speed can greatly increase the chances that a pedestrian will die in a vehicle-to-pedestrian crash; and WHEREAS, experts on street design say that 20 to 25 miles per hour is the maximum safe speed for residential streets; and WHEREAS, the City of Edina supports ensuring speed limits maximize safety for all roadway users including drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists; and WHERAS, the City of Edina supports goals that do not unfairly raise the expectations of our citizens with regard to the relative safety of the streets; and WHEREAS, passage would result in a uniform statewide speed limit that would create consistency with regard to the way similar streets are posted and speeds are enforced in our communities. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS THEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Edina does hereby strongly support a statewide lowering of the speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour on local,residential roadways. Passed and adopted this 6th day of June,2006. Member Housh seconded the motion. Ayes: Housh, Masica, Swenson, Hovland Nays: Hulbert Motion carried. Member Masica made a motion approving staff's recommendation regarding the 25 MPH residential speed limit as follows: "The City of Edina's current City Speed Limits Traffic policy shall be maintained with the basic minimum speed limit of 30 MPH. The City of Edina shall not consider lowering the speed limit of a residential street unless documented safety issues exist and a traffic speed study has been conducted by Mn/DOT indicating the speed should be lowered, or the statewide urban, local, residential speed limit is lowered from 30 MPH to 25 MPH. The updated policy shall be the basis for the City's speed limits traffic policy." Page 9 Minutes/Edina City Council/iune 6,2006 Member Swenson seconded the motion.
