V. Special Recognitions And Presentations
A. Southdale Area Transportation Study
Mr. Chuck Rickart, traffic engineer with WSB & Associates, presented the final study. Mr. Rickart reviewed the
purpose of the study which included updating the existing traffic model, updating the transportation planning
model, transportation analysis of land use density scenarios, and review and analyze pedestrian/bicycle
connections. He reviewed the study process, noting where changes were made since the April 21 presentation
which included updating the existing Average Daily Traffic volumes, adding transit usage to the 2040 Forecasts,
and adding the Pedestrian and Bicycle Network Analysis. Mr. Rickart said the Pedestrian and Bicycle Network
Analysis present challenges because of a lack of dedicated facilities. He said the Bike, Comp and Sidewalk Plans
have proposed facilities.
Mr. Rickart said the study’s recommendations are:
1. Intersections improvements (signal timing, turn lane geometry, new traffic signal);
2. Enhance/expand the pedestrian/bike network in the Southdale area;
3. Balance roadway improvements with pedestrian/bike improvements; continue to work with developers
to improve pedestrian/bike conditions;
4. Continue to work with Southdale and the Galleria to improve their pedestrian/bike facility.
Discussion
• Was any scenario planning done? Mr. Rickart said scenario planning was noted in the 2030 Comp Plan
for commercial properties and it was increased for residential properties in the 2040 Forecast.
• There is a draft Small Area Plan for the Southdale area that recommends making the block size smaller;
should this be included in the study as anticipated change? Mr. Rickart said it was discussed and they
decided not to include it because it is not an approved plan. Planner Nolan added they could find a way
to include the principle of the plan.
• How are pedestrians factored in with intersections Level of Service (LOS)? Mr. Rickart said they are
already included so that pedestrians can cross in one traffic signal cycle and it is factored in as a
percentage of traffic volume. Including this information in the study was suggested.

• The Nine Mile Trail wasn’t included and it would be helpful to include it. Planner Nolan said the crossing
will be at Gallagher Drive.
• Was employment forecasting for the major employers in the area identified? This is related to concerns
about potential redevelopment at W. 69th Street near the water tower. Mr. Rickart said not specifically.
He said he worked with planner Teague on residential redevelopment forecasting and while this was
their focus, they assumed increases in employment and traffic. He said the study considered
development at W. 69th Street because a restaurant was proposed for that area.
• Is the next step to seek Council approval? Not necessarily, said planner Nolan, but the study may be
given to the Council informationally. He said the information will be used to update the Comp Plan,
used for future planning, and is available to traffic engineers when evaluating sites for redevelopment.
• Mr. Rickart was asked to explain intersections LOS which range from A-F. Mr. Rickart said similar to
letter grades in school, each intersection gets a rating based on wait time at the intersection. He said in
urban areas like Edina, a certain amount of wait time is acceptable.
• The study conclusion states small, low cost improvements can make a difference, are these quantified in
the model in terms of LOS improvements? No, said Mr. Rickart because the improvements are specific
for each intersection. If the improvements are low cost, why not make the improvements now and
improve the LOS? Planner Nolan said the LOS ratings are degradation that will happen over time and
staff will plan for improvements by including them in the Capital Improvement Plan.
VI. Community Comment
None.
VII. Reports/Recommendations
A. Discussion with Edina Police Department Representative
Sgt. Dan Conboy explained that each month they pick a topic to focus on as part of their Focus In program that
focuses more on educating the public rather than writing citations. He said they’ve changed the name to
Directive Patrol Initiative with a goal of being more visible on foot and in squads. He said in January, they
focused on bars, restaurants and hotels because more people are inside. April and August they focused on
residential neighborhoods on foot, on bikes and in squads.
Chair LaForce asked if there is anything that his department is working on related to the ETC. Sgt. Conboy said
one main issue for them has been construction related traffic and being asked to assist in routing traffic per
engineering detour plans. He said they haven’t figured out a way to make this work yet and the upcoming TH-
169 closure will probably be problematic the first few weeks. He said residents have already contacted them
about several options that would be difficult to enforce, e.g. installing local traffic only signs and monitoring if
drivers are local traffic. He said the police are considering speed bumps to slow drivers and they’ve also
discussed directing traffic but this is an expensive option.
Discussion
• Whose responsibility was it to inform the public about the TH-169 project, and should this communication
begin now? Can information be posted to the City’s website? Sgt. Conboy said he didn’t know the answers.
• At the April 19, 2016, City Council meeting, MnDOT staff presented the TH-169 project including timeline,
closures and detour routes. The meeting can be viewed online.
• A certain percentage of drivers will follow the detour route; others will use software like Google Maps to
find alternative routes. Is there a way to create a filter that would block alternative routes? Sgt. Conboy said
he did not know if this could be done.
• Can information on the upcoming closure be posted to the City’s homepage?
• How are priorities made for enforcement, e.g. the complaint is that the police is always doing traffic
enforcement on TH-100 but not in neighborhoods. Sgt. Conboy said enforcements are based on complaints.
He said complaints are logged and officers must patrol those areas a minimum of five times daily.

• Vehicles stop in the crosswalks on France Avenue, is this monitored and enforced? Sgt. Conboy said he was
not aware that this was an issue so calling in to register complaints helps.
• Do you have matrix or goals that you are tracking? Sgt. Conboy said he’s not aware they have goals but they
are tracking what each officer is doing.
• Is this information shared with staff or City Council? Sgt. Conboy said it is available.
• Sgt. Conboy said there are four traffic officers and complaints can be called in to 952-826-1600.
B. 2016 Work Plan Updates
Member Bass said she reached out to Strong Towns and is waiting to hear back about organizing a speaker/
session.
Member Miranda said he’s been researching Hennepin and Ramsey counties Bike and Pedestrian Plan and they
both have something called Active Living which is new to him.
Member Loeffelholz said for the Southdale Circulator, he researched Metro Transit bus routes and it looks like
they could request minor changes from Metro Transit to provide coverage using existing routes, including a
route to the SW Light Rail. Chair LaForce said at the work session, it seemed to him that the City Council
wanted a circulator that would travel up and down France Avenue.
Discussion
• City of Northfield may be pursuing a route that would go towards St. Paul (away from Edina).
• Pursue the circulator and light rail because they serve different needs.
• How should we proceed with light rail planning based on what we heard from the City Council at the recent
work session?
• The City Council had two opinions on passenger rail: 1) get Edina connected to SW Light Rail; and 2) get
Edina connected to the south.
• The southern cities are planning for passenger rail that would go towards St. Paul and this will take longer,
but it sounds like the City Council is interested in a shorter connection.
• Frame up the issues and involve the public.
• The City Council does not have control over regional rail planning.
• The City Council does not seem to know what they want.
• The City Council does not have control over regional planning but they could take leadership and advocate
for light rail.
• Seemed like the City Council was asking the ETC to see how the community feels about light rail to see if
they should commit staff time and resources towards it.
• Discuss what the public engagement should be at the next ETC meeting.
• Public engagement requires a budget.
• We first need to know the plan or method of engagement to see if a budget is needed.
• Do we need a working group to focus on this?
• Forming a working group requires certain conditions including representation from the public; a committee
would just be members of the ETC.
• For clarity, the ETC was not advocating for or against light rail at this time, but was to remain neutral.
Motion was made by member Janovy and seconded by member Bass to form a committee to formulate a public
engagement process and present a recommendation at the next ETC meeting. The committee will be made up
of members Janovy, Iyer, Bass and Loeffelholz. All voted aye. Motion passed.

C. 2017 Neighborhood and MSA Street Reconstruction Projects
Planner Nolan explained that staff is seeking general feedback at this time on the 2017 projects and next month,
the ETC would receive project-specific information.
Discussion
• Are the sidewalks that are included part of the Sidewalk Plan? Planner Nolan said yes, and the idea is to
plan street reconstruction according to approved Plans, including reducing street widths with sidewalks.
• In reference to Chowen Park D, parking issues related to the restaurant at W. 58th Street & Xerxes
Avenue was noted for improvement. Planner Nolan explained that the project area is W. 54th Street.
• Is the Countryside B sidewalk a PACS sidewalk? Planner Nolan will check and follow up on this.
D. Traffic Safety Report of July 6, 2016
A.1. It was not clear if the City’s forester or the resident would be trimming the shrubs. Planner Nolan
explained that the practice is for the resident to do this.
A.2. Why is Maloney Avenue posted no parking? Planner Nolan did not know why.
B.3. Staff sent a survey to nine property owners. Moving this item to section C was suggested because was not a
denial.
Motion made by member Olson and seconded by member Bass to forward the July 6, 2016, TSC
report to the City Council. All voted aye. Motion passed.
VIII. Correspondence And Petitions
None.
IX. Chair and Member Comments
Member Iyer noted the poor condition of the road surface and landscaping on York Avenue where Centerpoint
Energy is working. He said it appears certain areas are treated differently than others, e.g. work on France
Avenue in the Galleria area was done much better. He asked if the City set standards for contractors and
planner Nolan said yes.
Member Iyer asked if MnDOT was contacted to see if the Rosland Park Pedestrian Bridge was moved if it would
be considered a scope change in the project. Planner Nolan said it would be a scope change. He said staff
decided to submit the grant application as though the bridge would remain in the same location.
Member Miranda said after the work session with City Council where the discussion was on light rail and the
circulator, and the need to stay updated on transportation issues, he thought that having a liaison from the
Planning Commission would be useful to help stay abreast or updated on transportation issues that comes with
redevelopment. After brief discussion, the consensus was to add this to a future agenda for discussion.
Member Boettge asked about painting stop bars at the intersections on France Avenue and planner Nolan
reminded her that stop bars were not painted because Hennepin County was not in favor of stop bars. He said
there wasn’t any research of their effectiveness; however, coincidentally, Joe Totten, traffic safety coordinator,
will be doing research on this for his master’s thesis beginning this fall.
Member Bass said in reference to the transportation study that was presented tonight, it was helpful to hear
that the budget was one-third of that of the Grandview study. She said when transportation studies are done in
Edina, they are to include all modes, and the study presented tonight was very status quo with a focus on LOS

for cars. She wondered if this reflected the values of the community or stated policy and if they should continue
to accept it or pursue it.
Chair LaForce said he signed up the ETC for the Open Streets event and next month, they will discuss this and
seek volunteers. He said the concrete work on Benton Avenue by MnDOT is completed but the crosswalk is
not aligned yet and he’s hoping this will be done soon. He said he was at the traffic light at Parklawn Avenue &
France Avenue and he was surprised at how difficult it was to see pedestrains; he knew a pedestrian was present
because he saw the flashing pedestrian light; he said this demonstrated to him the meaning of what the ETC
does.
X. Staff Comments
• The 2016 projects are progressing on schedule.
• 2016 sidewalk projects: Cornelia Drive and Vernon Avenue are under construction; Interlachen Blvd
will begin after a tree is removed on July 28; Xerxes Avenue is scheduled to begin September.
• Comp Plan Update – staff is seeking feedback to see if the ETC would like to form a committee, a
working group, or have the entire ETC participate in this process.
• The W. 77th Street Bridge over TH-100 will close until mid-August for repairs.
• Construction on the western half of the Nine Mile Creek Trail will begin this fall; the trail will open
spring, 2018.
• Grant applications were submitted for the Rosland Park Pedestrian Bridge and for Valley View Road bike
lane.
• Traffic Safety Intake tool – planner Nolan asked for an update on this tool; it is still in progress.

There is a 2 way stop sign that most
drivers ignore. In fact I've witnessed
school buses quickly rolling through the
stop. The problem with ignoring the
signs is that drivers pick up quite a bit of
speed since Code is fairly straight. We
have a lot of kids and families that walk
this stretch and I'm concerned that it's a
matter of time before there's a serious
accident. Additionally, vehicles traveling
on Birchcrest don't stop at this
intersection so if someone blows the
Code stop sign the liklihood of a
vehicular crash is higher.

People think it is 50mph speed limit. We
need to slow them down. I think stop

hillside/VV intersection would really help.
It's unsafe...my kids have had many near

The way that the hills come together makes for
a very small area for reactions from drivers and
bicyclists. Drivers coming north/south on Code
don't have the best sight lines to see bicyclists
coming on the east/west hills on both sides
from Birchcrest. I really don't know what would
be the best thing to do -- the intersection just
naturally has a pretty poor setup. Maybe would
need to cut off one of the roads -- put a dead
end for Code heading south? drivers heading
north on Code would have to slow down / stop
for the 90-degree turn.

Adding a sidewalk to Olinger Rd. is a
very unwise proposal. The North end
of Olinger Rd. basically dead-ends at
Vernon Ave., a County Road with a 40
mph speed limit that is often
exceeded. This intersection has stop
signs on both Olinger and Highwood
Drive but no marked crossing on
Vernon; the only safe places to cross
Vernon are at Tracy Ave. which is 1/4
mile to the East and Blake Rd. 1/8
mile to the West; these two
intersections have marked crosswalks
and semiphores with Walk/Don't Walk
indicators. Both already have
sidewalks and both connect to
Bredesen Park. Why in the world
would one put their or their family's
lives at risk just so you could walk on
this proposed sidewalk. By the way,

have sidewalks, with the exception of

Too much traffic in general which I

Vernon speed limit must remain
consistent throughout Edina - 30 MPH
- just stupid to increase the speed
limit for a short distance. I cannot
think of any other two lane roads in
Edina that are in purely residential
neighborhoods that are 40 MPH.
Speed bumps or something similar for
folks coming down the Olinger Road
Hill....not only does people speed
increase coming down the hill, but
there are many blind spots coming
down the hill. We will not encourage
people to drive less if we do not make

development of a passenger rail service in Edina?
At the ET C's July meeting, a committee was formed to begin to formulate ideas regarding community outreach

Rail Public Engagement Approach
Rail Public Engagement
August 18, 2016
As a reminder, the ETC has been asked to answer three questions:
• Should the City of Edina support further study of the possibility of passenger rail service in Edina?
• Should the City of Edina formally request the elimination of the so called "gag rule" concerning the Dan Patch line?
• Should the City of Edina dedicate staff and fiscal resources to developing a plan to encourage the development of a
passenger rail service in Edina?
ETC members (Bass, Iyer, Loeffelholz) met to discuss an approach. Below are point from our discussion:
• Holding a community meeting or two seems insufficient. Low turnout, which typically represents the far ends of the spectrum (very
supportive/very opposed)
• A community conversation that creates an “arc” of engagement, which might roll out in a stepwise fashion, using multiple methods, may
allow more people to participate and lift up more perspectives.
• Important to share facts, set the context
Goal: Develop a recommendation for council on further study of passenger rail service.
Strategy: Conduct a public engagement process that is 1) informative and 2) broad and inclusive of multiple perspectives

Traffic Safety Report of Augus t 3, 2016
August 18, 2016
Edina Transportation Commission
Joe Totten, Traffic Safety Coordinator
Traffic Safety Report of August 03, 2016
Information / Background:
The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on August 03. The City
Engineer, Assistant City Planner, Traffic Safety Coordinator, Police Lieutenant, Communications
Coordinator, and Transportation Planner were in attendance for this meeting. The Public Works Director
and Sign Coordinator were informed of the decisions and did not object to the recommendations.
For these reviews, the recommendations below are provided. On each of the items, persons involved have
been contacted and the staff recommendation has been discussed with them. They were informed that if
they disagree with the recommendation or have additional facts to present, these comments can be included
on the August 18 Edina Transportation Commission and the September 20 City Council meeting agendas.
Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety
Committee recommends action:
A1. Request for signing 50th and France area
sidewalks, to prevent bicyclists from riding on
them
• City of Edina ordinance allows bicyclists to ride
on city sidewalks, but prohibits riding where
building accesses are directly off of the sidewalk.
o This means that bicycling on sidewalks in
the 50th and France area is illegal.
o The full ordinance can be seen in
Appendix F.
• Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota have
signage and pavement markings for sidewalks to
discourage use of bicycles and inform the
bicyclists to walk their bikes in these areas.
o Placement of these pavement would be
difficult in this location due to the brick
Photo : One issue with placing sidewalk markings in the 50th
and France district are the brick paver sidewalks seen here
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 2
sidewalks, as there are no concrete pads
for the easy addition of the these
markings.
• A video study from 10:00 AM-10:00 PM on a
Saturday was performed, and found that 78
bicyclists rode on 50th Street, west of France
Avenue. Of these 78, 54 were on the sidewalk.
• 11 persons were seen walking their bicycles in
this area
After review, staff recommends placing signs
at ingresses to the district, instructing
bicyclists to walk their bikes. The signage
should help to inform bicyclists that they
cannot ride on the sidewalk in this location.
Further, the police department will work on
education efforts in the district, to ensure that
the ordinance is being followed.
Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety
Committee recommends no action
B1. Request for stop controls at the
intersection of Branson Street and
Oakdale Avenue
• Count Data
• This is a T-intersection, with Oakdale Avenue
having one approach, and Branson Street
having two, the southern leg of this
intersection is a dead end.
• Oakdale Avenue connects to Grimes Avenue,
and is one block long
• Branson Street connects to Morningside
Road and is 2 blocks long, with a dead-end
extending south of Oakdale Avenue.
• When making the request, the requestors
noted that most of the residents of Branson
Street and Oakdale Avenue were slowing, or
even stopping at the intersection already;
that this request is partially to maintain
signage that reflects the use of the road, and
inform drivers from outside the
neighborhood of the intersection.
o A video of the intersection supported
the assertion that drivers were often
slowing significantly as they approached
the intersection
• No crashes have been reported in this
location in the past 5 years.
• Sightlines at this intersection were measured,

Minneapolis.

of Minnesota, East Bank campus.

Avenue intersects Morningside Road, and Bransen Street,

and deemed appropriate for the intersection.
o There is little, to no infringement of the corner clearview ordinance, partially due to very wide
corner radii which makes the intersection of the curblines far into the intersection
After review, staff determined that this intersection is being used by drivers as uncontrolled
intersections are intended to be used. Drivers are slowing as they approach the intersection
and taking preventative actions to avoid conflicts. With no crash history, and not meeting any
other warrants, staff did not find reason to control the intersection.
B2. Request for improvement of the Dewey
Hill Road and Cahill Road intersection
• This request concerns the triangular
intersection of Dewey Hill Road and Cahill
Road.
• The requestor noted that this is a confusing
intersection and that many drivers are unclear
on how to proceed through the intersection.
• There have been five crashes in the past five
years of available data, reported at this
intersection
o One of these crashes was a ‘C-injury’,
also referred to as a ‘Possible Injury’
crash.
• A roundabout at this intersection has been a
part of past CIP requests, but did not receive funding.
• Is there any wayfinding, or other signage that would guide motorists through the intersection
without causing undue distraction?
After review, staff determined that this intersection may be confusing and difficult to navigate,
but there were no markings or signage that would communicate a correct course for its
navigation. A future reconstruction of this intersection is possible, but would also be costly.
B3. Request for all-way stop control at the
intersection of Lincoln Drive and the Edina
West Condominiums’ private access road
• This request concerns the intersection of
Lincoln Drive, and the private access road to
the Edina West Condominiums.
• Lincoln Drive has an ADT of 3650 vehicles
per day, and an 85th-percentile speed of 39.4
mph.
• The Edina West Condominiums’ access road
has an ADT of 590 vehicles per day.
• Currently, the access road is the stem of a T-
intersection with Lincoln Drive, and is stop
controlled, while Lincoln Drive is
uncontrolled.

West Condominiums’ private access road.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 4
• The Edina West Condominium Association
asked the City of Edina to consider adding
all-way stop controls to the intersection of
Lincoln Drive and their access road in order
to facilitate turns out of their access road.
• Sightlines in this location have been improved
for 40 mph traffic on Lincoln Drive, and a
speed report has been sent to the police
department for their enforcement purposes.
• While a formal delay study was not
performed, observations during the peak
hour indicate that queuing is negligible and
will not warrant all-way stop control.
• No crashes were reported in the past 5 years at this intersection.
After review, staff found that warrants were not met for this intersection to be made into all-
way stop control. With no crash history, and not meeting any other warrants, staff did not find
reason to further control the intersection. The police department has been provided with a
speed report on Lincoln Drive for enforcement efforts.
B4. Request for a crosswalk across Vernon Avenue at Schaefer Road
• This request concerns crossings from the
Parkwood Knolls neighborhood to Bredesen
Park.
• The requestor noted that many crossings
occurred at Schaefer Road, crossing Vernon
Avenue.
• A camera study was performed and found
that the peak number of crossings in a two-
hour period was 21, during the hours of
8:45-10:45 AM on a Saturday.
• Vernon Avenue in this location has a 40 mph
speed limit.
• Vernon Avenue has an ADT of
approximately 10,400 vehicles per day in this
location.
• There is a bituminous path on the south side
of Vernon Avenue, which continues to
Gleason Road.
o Currently a sidewalk is under
construction on the north side of the
road, connecting View Lane and Schaeffer Road to Blake Road and a controlled intersection.
After review, this crosswalk was determined to be warranted, but not justified. New
construction is adding a sidewalk on the north side of Vernon Avenue, connecting Schaefer
Road to Blake Road and the accompanying traffic signal, one block over. Further, City of Edina
warrants would require signalization of this intersection to add a crosswalk, and adding signals
this close to the intersection of Vernon Avenue and Blake Road was seen as detrimental to
both safety and traffic flow on Vernon Avenue.

Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 5
B5. Request to lessen the misuse of roundabouts in Edina
• This request has come from various
requestors, who noted that roundabouts are
still a new traffic control device, and proper
utilization of them is difficult for drivers,
particularly the elderly, who may not have
had any instruction on properly driving
through them.
• The requestors have noted various driving
classes for upper-middle aged and older
persons, to hone their skills and ensure they
are able to understand and drive
appropriately through newer traffic control
devices like roundabouts.
• Classes from AARP are provided
approximately monthly at the Edina Senior Center, as well as various other classes provided in
communities nearby.
o All classes found by the Traffic Safety Coordinator cost around twenty dollars, with some
discounts for membership in an organization.
• An issue noted with roundabouts by a requestor is that drivers on Edina’s streets and roads are not
all from Edina, as the Southdale area draws shoppers from other nearby cities, and workers from
across the metropolitan area.
• Requestors have asked what, if anything, the City of Edina can do to increase knowledge of how to
use roundabouts.
After review, staff did not find additional opportunities to add roundabout safety to city
programs. Additional concerns were that roundabouts in Edina are on major thoroughfares,
which carry traffic from the entire region, and educating all the regions drivers is not practical
for Edina alone to undertake.
B6. Request to change the culture of Edina driving, such that drivers respect crosswalks more
• This request has been received from multiple
requestors, asking that drivers simply respect
pedestrians in a crosswalk more, and follow
state statute 169.21 subdivision 2, as seen in
Appendix E.
• Saint Paul has recently been doing a public
safety campaign on this issue, called “Stop For
Me” and has been receiving press coverage
highlighting the law and educating drivers about the law’s requirements.
• A camera was set up for a weekend at 70th Street and Wooddale Avenue, investigating if drivers
would yield right-of-way to pedestrians.
o 14 Crossings were observed where drivers and pedestrians would be in conflict.
o Three (3) of these crossings involved drivers not yielding to pedestrians who had entered the
roadway, two (2) of which instances had the pedestrian lights activated and the pedestrian in the
roadway.
o Drivers were considered able to stop if they were more than 193-feet from the intersection,
this is the distance used by Saint Paul in its “Stop For Me” campaign.
Photo : MnDOT webpage devoted to teaching drivers how
to navigate roundabouts.
Photo : W. 70th Street looking west towards Wooddale, the
site studied for the yielding study.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 6
After review, city staff noted that there are already Public Service Announcements and the
Street Smarts campaign attempting to address these issues. The police department also
already conducts enforcement and education on this issue as well. No further actions were
seen as practical or reasonable. Staff will continue our efforts to elevate these safety concerns,
but no further actions are recommended.
B7. Request for a crosswalk across Gus Young Lane, either at Arcadia Avenue or between
developments’ driveways
• This request notes how the Grandview Area
is very busy with both vehicles and
pedestrians, with specific concern given to
Gus Young Lane between Arcadia and the
railroad.
• A camera was placed to observe two
crossing locations;
o The first location was the west side of
the intersection of Arcadia and Gus
Young
o The second location was between the
driveways of the developments north
and south of Gus Young Lane
• Twice during the count, did the number of
crossings for between the driveways and at
the intersection combined reach 18
pedestrians in a two-hour period.
o The first time was from 10:15-12:15
o The second time was from 12:30-14:30
• Most crossings took place between the
driveways of the developments, with 86 of
the 101 total crossings during the study
taking place between the driveways.
After review, staff recommends no action at this time. This crossing is very close to meeting
warrants for a crosswalk, and it is anticipated that as the Grandview District redevelops and
densifies that this crossing may be warranted in the future. However, placement at this time is
not warranted and not recommended.
B8. Request to lessen the number of drivers
running the stop signs at the intersection
of Schaefer Road with Knoll Drive
• Schaefer Road and Knoll Drive, in the
Parkwood Knolls neighborhood, is a 5-way
intersection.
• The road is controlled with all-way stop
controls.
• The concern at this intersection is that
drivers are rolling and running the stop signs,
which is dangerous.
Photo : Gus Young Lane and Arcadia Avenue, looking west,
down Gus Young Lane.
Map : The crossings of Gus Young Lane studied for
crossings.
Map : Knoll Drive has three approaches to its intersection
with Schaeffer Road, shown here.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 7
• A camera study was able to approximate space-mean-speed of westbound vehicles, and found that
currently, the median speed is approximately 7 mph, and the 85th-percentile speed is approximately
11 mph as drivers enter the intersection.
o More on this study can be found in Appendix D.
o This is not the minimum speed of drivers as they entered the intersection; the study was unable
to determine minimum speeds.
• In a review of the intersection, the stop signs were visible and had required sight distances. No
proven improvements were observed as not being implemented in this location.
After review, some small obstructions of the stop signs were removed as braches were
trimmed slightly. However, no further action is recommended, as these signs are conspicuous,
and the intersection would not meet volume or delay warrants for all-way stop control.
Section C: Items which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends for further study
C1. Request for crossing treatments on
Xerxes Avenue near 68th Street
• This request borders the City of Richfield
• There currently exists a paved path from
Xerxes Avenue to the parking lot and
property of 6775 York Avenue. Currently
occupied by Cub Foods; this path intersects
Xerxes Avenue between 68th Street and 67th
Street.
• There currently exists an unpaved, ‘goat
path’ between the property at 6775 York
Avenue and Xerxes Avenue, and this path
intersects Xerxes Avenue at its intersection
with 68th Street.
• Concerns for pedestrian safety, and the
unexpected nature of this unmarked path led
to this request.
• A camera study was completed at this
location, and found that Xerxes Avenue
currently serves as a type of auxiliary parking
lot for the 6775 York Avenue property.
• The crossings both at the intersection of 68th
Street and Xerxes Avenue, and at the paved
path, meet the volume warrant in the City of
Edina’s crosswalk warrants, shown in
Appendix A.
• The crossings to and from the paved path
include many shopping carts.
• The current paved path accesses the side of
the 6775 York Avenue building, whereas the
goat path aligns with the front of the structure.
• Currently the goat path would need earthwork and other construction to make it accessible.
• During the eight-hour video study, pedestrians crossed at the paved path approximately twice as
often as at the goat path.
Photo : The ‘goat path’ between Xerxes Avenue and 6775
York Avenue’s parking lot. This is at the intersection of
Xerxes Avenue and W. 68th Street.

York Avenue’s parking lot. This is north of the intersection of
Xerxes Avenue and W. 68th Street.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 8
After review, staff recommended working with Cub Foods (SuperValu), the property owner,
and Richfield to construct a new paved path in the goat path’s location. This will make
pedestrian movements more visible and expected, as they will be at an intersection. A
crosswalk should also be placed in this location.
C2. Request for a crosswalk across Vernon Avenue at Olinger Road
• This request concerns crossings from the
Highlands neighborhood to Bredesen Park,
and Countryside School.
• The requestor noted that crossing at the
controlled intersections of Blake Road or
Tracy Avenue are not the most direct path,
and therefore inconvenient, but it felt unsafe
to cross at Olinger Road’s intersection with
Vernon Avenue, which is a straighter path.
• A camera study was performed and found
that the crossing meets the volume warrant
of 20 pedestrians in a two-hour period.
• Vernon Avenue in this location has a 40 mph
speed limit.
• Vernon Avenue has an ADT of
approximately 10,100 vehicles per day in this location.
• There is a bituminous path on either side of Vernon Avenue in this location, connecting this
intersection to the controlled intersections of Tracy Avenue and Blake Road with Vernon Avenue.
After review, staff recommended that further discussions be held with Hennepin County
about this crossing. This crossing was warranted by the City of Edina’s warrants, already has a
sidewalk on the north side of Vernon Avenue, and is further from Blake Road or Tracy Avenue
than the crossing at Schaefer Road, considered in Section B. Further discussions with the
County will have to be held, as by City of Edina warrants, a crosswalk should not be installed
on a road with a speed limit above 30 mph except in conjunction with signalization. The type
of signal, and Hennepin County’s willingness for its placement will have to be discussed.
Section D: Other items handled by Traffic Safety
D1. There was a request to lessen the numbers of drivers running the stop signs at Benton Avenue and
Tingdale Avenue. Reviewing the signage of the area, the signs are visible and stand out properly. The police
department has already been enforcing this signage as it has been identified by residents calling in.
D2. A resident requested the dynamic speed sign trailer be placed on Saxony Road, as well as elsewhere on
the Blake Road detour, to address high speeds of detouring traffic. This was forwarded to the Edina Police
Department for placement and directed patrols.
D3. A request for an additional no parking sign in front of 7275 Bush Lake Road was investigated, and this
signage seemed to not be replaced when it was removed during the industrial park lighting project. This was
forwarded to the sign shop for a new sign to be placed.
D4. A requestor asked for traffic counts to be taken in the Parkwood Knolls neighborhood so that we can
address any increase in traffic when US 169 is shut down next year. This had been previously completed,
and results were discussed with the requestor.
Map : Olinger Road is in the center of the two double sided
Arrows, Blake Road is on the far left, and Tracy Avenue on
the far right.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 9
D5. A requestor asked for trucks servicing the Tracy Avenue reconstruction project drive well below the
speed limit, as trucks traveling close to the speed limit made the requestor feel uncomfortable as they came
down the street.
D6. A requestor asked that something be done to prevent drivers from confusing Brookview Avenue with
the entrance to Pamela Park’s parking areas. This was addressed through the use of signing the entrance
with brown recreational attraction direction signage.
D7. A requestor noted that there was limited sight distance for a yield sign at 61st Street and Oaklawn
Avenue. The branches of the tree which were partially obscuring the sign were trimmed.
D8. A requestor asked for Field Way and Londonderry Road to have improved sightlines. This was referred
to the police department, under the clearview ordinance and the obstructions have since been cleared.
D9. A requestor asked if something other than repainting the Interlachen Boulevard bicycle lanes, on
eastbound Interlachen Boulevard at Brookside Avenue could be done, as drivers often cut the corner and
have rubbed off the paint. This is concerning to the requestor, as it indicates drivers are driving in the
bicycle lane. A discussion with staff determined that there was no barrier or further marking which was
appropriate and achievable at this time, and this item was then forwarded to public works to repaint the
lane.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 10
Appendix A:
Crosswalk Warrants
A. Marked crosswalks are placed at locations that are unusually hazardous or at locations not readily
apparent as having pedestrian movement.
B. Marked crosswalks will only be placed in an area that has 20 or more pedestrian crossings in a two-
hour period.
C. Marking for crosswalks will be established by measuring the “Vehicle Gap Time”. This is the total
number of gaps between vehicular traffic recorded during the average five minute period in the peak
hour. Criteria for markings are:
1) More than five gaps – pavement marking and signage only.
2) Less than five gaps – add actuated pedestrian signals.
D. Crosswalks will not be placed on arterial roads or roads with a speed limit greater than 30 mph
unless in conjunction with signalization.
E. Other conditions that warrant crosswalks:
1) Routes to schools
2) Locations adjacent to libraries, community centers, and other high use public facilities.
3) Locations adjacent to public parks.
4) Locations where significant numbers of handicapped persons cross a street.
5) Locations where significant numbers of senior citizens cross a street.
F. Crosswalks will only be placed at intersections.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 11
Appendix B:
Stop Sign Warrants
When it is determined that a full stop is always required on an approach to an intersection a STOP (R1-1)
sign shall be used.
At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should first be given to using
less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs.
The use of STOP signs on the minor-street approaches should be considered if engineering judgment
indicates that a stop is always required because of one or more of the following conditions:
A. The vehicular traffic volumes on the through street or highway exceed 6,000 vehicles per day;
B. A restricted view exists that requires road users to stop in order to adequately observe conflicting
traffic on the through street or highway.
C. Crash records indicate that three or more crashes that are susceptible to correction with the
installation of a STOP sign have been reported within a 12-month period, or that five or more such
crashes have been reported within a 2-year period. Such crashes include right-angle collisions involving
road users from the minor street failing to yield the right-of-way to traffic on the through street or
highway.
Additional warrants which do not specify the type of control are as follows;
A. An intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of way
rule would not be expected to provide reasonable compliance with the law;
B. A street entering a designated through highway or street; and/or
C. An un-signalized intersection in a signalized area.
In addition, the use of YIELD or STOP signs should be considered at the intersection of two minor streets
or local roads where the intersection has more than three approaches and where one or more of the
following conditions exist:
A. The combined vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all approaches
averages more the 2,000 units per day;
B. The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road user to stop or yield
in compliance with the normal right-of-way rule if such stopping or yielding is necessary; and/or
C. Crash records indicate that five or more crashes that involve the failure to yield the right-of-way rule
have been reported within a 3-year period, or that three or more such crashes have been reported
within a 2-year period.
Additional warrants from the city of Edina list that:
1. If an intersection experiences five (5) or more right angle accidents in a three (3) year period, stop signs
should be considered.
2. If the presence of a sight obstruction is contributing to accidents at an intersection, removal of the sight
obstruction should be sought before considering a stop sign.
3. If the 85th percentile speed on any leg of an intersection is more than five (5) MPH over the posted
speed limit, a stop sign should be considered for the intersecting street.
4. If traffic volumes exceed 1,000 vehicles per day on each of the intersecting streets, stop signs should be
considered.
5. Residential stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control speed.
6. Residential stop signs shall not be installed in an attempt to control volume.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 12
Appendix C:
All-Way Stop Warrants
Multi-way stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist.
Safety concerns associated with multi-way stops include pedestrians, bicyclists, and all road users expecting
other road users to stop. Multi-way stop control is used where the volume of traffic on the intersecting
roads is approximately equal.
The restrictions on the use of STOP signs described in Section 2B.4 also apply to multi-way stop
applications. The decision to install multi-way stop control should be based on an engineering study. The
following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multi-way STOP sign installation:
A. Where traffic control signals are justified, the multiway stop is an interim measure that can be
installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of the
traffic control signal.
B. Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-
way stop installation. Such crashes include right-turn and left turn collisions as well as right-angle
collisions.
C. Minimum volumes:
1. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of
both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day;
and
2. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the
minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for
the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30
seconds per vehicle during the highest hour; but
3. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the
minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of the values provided in Items 1 and 2.
D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 are all satisfied to 80
percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this condition.
Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:
A. The need to control left-turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian
volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate
the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and
operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational
characteristics of the intersection.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 13
Appendix D:
Method Used to Determine Knoll Drive Speeds
To determine speeds as drivers approached the stop sign at Knoll Drive and Schaefer Road, cameras and a
stopwatch were used. The video camera was set up to record if there were any events which called out
specifically for more control, and were further analyzed by recording the vehicle classes that entered the
intersection, and the amount of time it took for the entire vehicle to pass over a visible seam in the
pavement that lined up directly with the stop sign. The average length of the vehicle class was recorded and
the average speed drivers entered the intersection could be found. This process is not without downfalls
however, as a driver who may have stopped prior to the stop sign would not be stopping over the seam in
the pavement, and thus would not be counting any time stopped towards their time spent “entering” the
intersection, and thus were recorded at higher speeds than can be found using the technology available. For
reference, a vehicle which was found to have come to a full and complete stop still was found to have
entered the intersection at an average rate of 3-4 mph.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 14
Appendix E:
State Statute 169.21, Subdivision 2
Subd. 2. Rights in absence of signal.
(a) Where traffic-control signals are not in place or in operation, the driver of a vehicle shall stop to
yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk or at an intersection
with no marked crosswalk. The driver must remain stopped until the pedestrian has passed the lane in
which the vehicle is stopped. No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or
run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield. This provision
shall not apply under the conditions as otherwise provided in this subdivision.
(b) When any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at an intersection with no marked crosswalk
to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall
not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.
(c) It is unlawful for any person to drive a motor vehicle through a column of school children crossing
a street or highway or past a member of a school safety patrol or adult crossing guard, while the member of
the school safety patrol or adult crossing guard is directing the movement of children across a street or
highway and while the school safety patrol member or adult crossing guard is holding an official signal in the
stop position. A peace officer may arrest the driver of a motor vehicle if the peace officer has probable
cause to believe that the driver has operated the vehicle in violation of this paragraph within the past four
hours.
(d) A person who violates this subdivision is guilty of a misdemeanor. A person who violates this
subdivision a second or subsequent time within one year of a previous conviction under this subdivision is
guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
Traffic Safety Report of Aug 03, 2016 Page 15
Appendix F:
City of Edina Ordinance Section 26-283 – Rules for operating bicycles on public
sidewalks.
A person may operate a bicycle on a public sidewalk, including in a business district, subject to the
following requirements in addition to those found in state statute. A bicyclist shall:
(1) Ride at a speed no greater than is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances, and in no
event at a speed greater than ten miles per hour.
(2) Slow to a walking pace when pedestrians are present.
(3) Slow to a walking pace upon approach to and when crossing a driveway or intersection; enter
driveway or intersection only when clear of traffic.
(4) Not ride on sidewalks where the entrance or exit of a building abuts the sidewalk.
(5) Not ride on sidewalks where posted.

WORKPLANS
Purpose. Annual work plans ensure that the priorities of the City Council and Boards and Commissions are
aligned and that the City has the appropriate financial and staff resources to support Board and Commission
work.
Annual Cycle. Board and commissions should focus on drafting their work plans during the summer months
for the following year. The Council meets with Board and Commission Chairs during the month of September to
review the proposed work plans. The Council gives final approval for the work plans in November. Work plans go
into effect January 1 for the remainder of the calendar year.
Format. The work plan has three main sections. Each Board or Commission’s work plan may be found on
Edinet in the Board and Commission Toolbox.

Some boards and commission have few ongoing responsibilities and most of their work will fall into the
initiatives category. Other Boards and Commissions have significant ongoing responsibilities and may
only be able to tackle only one or two new initiatives each year.
Council Review and Approval. The Council schedules a meeting in September to meet with
Board and Commission Chair regarding their proposed work plan. The purpose of the meeting is to
review the Board or Commission proposed new initiatives and ongoing responsibilities for the upcoming
year. The Council also reviews any ideas discussed by the Board or Commission but not placed on the
work plan. In late September and October, the Council has additional discussions about city-wide
priorities, the budget and the allotment of staff time. It is possible that the Council will add, delete or re-
prioritize items on board or commission work plans based on these discussions. The Council approves
and returns work plans to boards and commissions during the month of November.
Mid-Year Modifications. Work plans may be modified, to add or delete items, in one of three
ways:
• Work plans can be modified by mutual agreement during a joint work session.
• If immediate approval is important, the Board or Commission can work with their Staff Liaison to
present a modified work plan for Council approval at a Council meeting.
• The City Council can direct a change to the work plan.
•Outline any new initiatives the Board or Commission would like to pursue during the
upcoming year.
1. New initiatives
•Document the Board or Commission’s ongoing responsibilities. Ongoing
responsibilities include items that are repeated on a regular or annual basis, or
regulatory functions that are delegated to the Board or Commission.
2. Ongoing Responsibilities
•“Parking lot” for ideas that were considered during the work planning process. Ideas
that the Board and Commission wants to hold for consideration for future years
should also be included in this section.
3. Other Work Plan Ideas Considered for Current Year or Future
Years
Board/Commission: Choose an item.
