COUNTY ROAD 3-8/YALLEY-VZEV ROAD TASK FORCE REPORT APPROVED.
Chaiiman of the County Road 18/l?alley View Road Task Force, introduced Nr.
Richard Wolsfeld of Bather, Ringrose and Wolsfeld, which company had been retained
by the City to assist the Taslc Force in making a recommendation on the design of
the County Road 18/Valley View Road interchange. Wth the aid of the viewgraph,
Mr. Wolsfeld reviewed the study flow chart indicating projected 1985 traffic,
stating that the study area had included the area bounded by County Roads 62 and
18, Trunk Highway 100.and Interstate Highway 494. Mr. Wolsfeld said that the
study had been made of projections of additional traffic caused by additional
land development and reassignfaent of existing traffic. He said that the Task
Force had agreed upon the following objectives:
1.
2.
3.
Mr. Darrell Boyd,
There should be good accessibility to the Edina industrial development along
the West side of Highway 18.
There should be good accessibility to the Braemar facilities along the East
side of Highway 18.
Valley View, Dewey Hill, Gleason, Tra'cy, Antrim and 70th Streets should not
become corridors for traffic moving from outside the study area to other
external locations, e.g. Eden Prairie to Southdale. This objective is
considerably more important than providing accessibility to and from High-
way 18 for all residents within the study area.
It was brought out that the majority of the Task Force had agreed upon the
following recommendations :
1.. A partial access interchange (per Figure 7 of the Bather, Ringrose and
Wolsfeld. traffic analysis) be constructed near and South of the present
intersection of Highway 18 and Valley View Road., . ,
A cul-de-sac on Cahill Road be constructed, as originally proposed in the
mid-60's, South of Amundson to avoid the predictable significant increase
of traffic on 70th, Valley View and Gleason Roads. Such traffic would
pass by all of our schools within the study area.
A half diamond interchange, providing access to the West, at 1-494 and
Ease 05 Gleason be pursued with the Highway Department to provide a
means for the Cahill industrial traffic to go around the residential port-
ion of the study area.
Valley View Road, North and [.lest of its intersection with Braemar Blvd.,
be cul-de-saced (per Figure 7 of the BWR traffic analysis) in the immedi-
ate future.
the revised loading that will take place on other'arterial streets, and
it will bring into focus the relative importance of providing full accgss
to and from Highway 18.
accomplished, the subject of constructing the link between Valley View
Road and the interchange (per the full access alternative of Figure 7
of the BRN traffic analysis) should be reconsidered. This would be for
the purpose of evaluating the revised traffic loading on other arterial
streets, and to re-evaluate the residents' desires for more accessibility
at Highway 18 after living with (4) above for several years.
tended redonsideration should be made a matter of record in your Councll
Neeting minutes so as to minimize any future misunderstandings.
That the City protect the right-of-way so as to be able to construct this
link, to achieve the full access alternate, if it becomes desirable at a
later date. (See copy of Task Force Report attached hereto.)
The'report stated, in summary, that all of-these recommendations are part of
a total system designed to minimize traffic impact on all of the streets
within the study area and to maximize accessibility of the study area to the
surrounding street systems. %he objectives cannot be accomplished without
adopting the total system. Council's attention was called to a resolution
adopted by the City of Eden Prairie recommending the construction of a diam-
ond interchange at the intersection in question, that Hennepin County should
make all reasonable efforts to reduce the noise level to protect the adjacent
residential area, and that the design of the interchange should allow for
pedestrian and bicycle traffic between Eden Prairie and Edina.

dential portiovr of the study area.

BY doing so at this time, you will be able to

on ctther arterial streets, and it will bring ink0
focus the relative importance of providing fulZ
access to and from Hwy. 18.

dations have been accomplished, the slilbject of
constructing the Link between Valley View Road and
the in-kerchange (per the.ful1 access alternative of
Figure 7 of the BRW traffic analysis) should be
reconsidered. This would be €or the purpose of
evaluating the revised traffic loading on other
arterial streets, and to re-evaluate the residents'
desires for more accessibility at Highway 18 after
living with (4) above for several years. This in-
tended reconsideration should be made a matter of

With respect to the flood plain, we would further recamend that

the effect of their construction,

*7 Overholt Pass and a minority member of the Task Force, questioned traffic
projections made by Mr. Wolsfeld. Mr. Uolsfeld suggested that if his pro-
jections should be low and traffic should impose a threat to the nkighbor-
hood, the connection could be closed. Mrs. Overholt agreed that a partial
inrerohange is the best solution since no corridor would be established, but
suggested that Valley View Road should be blocked in a manner which would per-
mit residents to drive to Braemar Park. She contended that the Western Edina
Plan should be reviewed and that priorities on the use of undeveloped land
should be re-evaluated. She added that six weeks is not sufficient time to make
a decision on the interchange.
be closed at this time, so that residents would have an opportunity to see just
how important accessability is to the Indian Foothills area and which way
traffic that will be going down Valley View Road will redistribute itself.
He suggested that closing Valley View Road would put an additional 1,000 cars
on Gleason Road each day. Mr. Boyd said that under the partial access plan
recommended by the Task Force, only 17% of the flood plain area North of the
Braemar Ball field would be affected, as against 37% with the full interchange.
Mr. Boyd added that it is the Tax Assessor's opinion that, although property .
values might drop during construction of the interchange, these values would
return to normal values upon completion of the project.
of Mayor Van Valkenburg, Mr. Dunn clarified that after Council has approved a
preliminary plan, the County wi'll come back with final plans for further
approval. Mr. Michael Buck, 6939 Valley View Road, identified himself as a
member of REACTION, Inc., and said that the presentation of Mr. Wolsfeld did
not take into account the location of the proposed Rauenhorst development
which will be located in Minnetonka, North of the Crosstown Highway and West
of County Road 18. He recommended that the D.M.J.M. Report should be compared
with the Bather, Ringrose and Wolsfeld Report. Mr. Buck said that he agreed
with Mrs. Overholt that the limited access is the least detrimental to Edina,
but suggested that Valley View Road east of the interchange should be vacated
and given to Braemar Park.
would have easy access to Braemar Park.
said that he is Treasurer of the Indian Hills Homeowners Association who
approved a limited access at the interchange. Mr. Charles Partin, President
of the Indian Foothills Association, said that a majority of his group
opposed any form of overpass or interchange, inasmuch as the culLde-sac cuts
off their access to Braemar Park by automobile and by bicycle, cuts them off
from the rest of Edina and forces them to use service roads or circuitous
routes in the Indian Hills area to ultimately reach Braemar Park. He said
that stop signs at the intersection should be sufficient and eliminate any
further need for an overpass.
statistics that were given as to various routes to Southdale.
that there would be 90,000 people living in apartments which will be built in
Eden Prairie to the West of the intersection by 1990 and suggested that, if
the intercliange is not approved, this development could not take place or that
Eden Prairie could provide its own access to County Road 18. Mrs. E. C.
Oliver, 7013 Camache Court, concurred with Mrs. Dunn and the Devenys and added
that, with the Crosstown Highway and Interstate' Highway 494 running East and
Nest, it is inconceivahle that additional travel along Valley View Road should
be encouraged. Mr. Hyde recalled that the proposed interchange was approved
in concept in 1969 and had been planned az. early as 1966 or 1967.
response to asquestion of Mr. Robert Brockway, 6927 Valley View Road, Mayor
Van Valkenburg expressed his concern about putting additional traffic on Valley
View Road and said that he preferred the partial access proposed by the Task
Force because that plan would keep more cars off of Valley View Road and pro-
vide some access for residents so that they are not forced to use Gleason
Road or Tracy Ave. He added that if cars cannot get to Braemar Park from
County Road 18, they will have to use local. streets to reach the park. Mr.
Robert Carpenter of Cherokee Trail, said that he would be willing to take a
little more traffic now in order to protect the area from an influx of
traffic from the West five years from now.
while there is no ideal solution, he plt that Council should support the
principle of the Task Force recommendation without being locked in to any
specific plan on closing Valley View Road.

change, subject to approval of the Environmental Quality Commission and the
