REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS — (Favorable vote of majority of Council Members present to approve except where noted). VII.A. RESOLUTION NO. 2017-79: VERNON AVENUE FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CHANGE—ADOPTED City Engineer Millner explained that Hennepin County was seeking City support for a functional class upgrade from the Metropolitan Council from a status of B-Minor Arterial to A-Minor Arterial for Vernon Avenue between West 53rd Avenue and Trunk Highway 100. Jason Pieper, P.E., Hennepin County Transportation Planning, shared a presentation and photographs of aging bridge structure and the desire to replace this segment within 3-5 years. He highlighted lack of pedestrian and bicycle options, especially for differently-abled pedestrians and commented on alignment with long-term vision of Vernon Avenue and City and County collaboration to modify access. Mr. Pieper explained the roadway segment lacked adequate bicycle and pedestrian accommodations and there had been interest shown in modifying the surrounding land use through the Grandview District Transportation Study, which would affect the use of Vernon Avenue. Page 2 Minutes/Edina City Council/August 15. 2017 The Council asked questions regarding the Grandview Transportation Plan and County component and noted while excited about the reclassification, asked whether it would diminish an opportunity and create problems. Mr. Pieper said they would review signals and propose approval for a preliminary layout for formal design process and with the County for rights-of-way, bike, and other lane widths. The Council asked about timing and if this was too soon. Mr. Pieper said their capital budget was over- programmed and now doing work on Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis, which delayed other improvements within the County. The Council asked whether the reclassification would allow for more funding. Mr. Pieper stated the eligibility for regional solicitation for use on other streets was decided by County officials. The Council confirmed there were no negatives to the reclassification and the limited of number of A classifications. Mr. Pieper said he was unsure why this segment was not reclassified before but noted Vernon Avenue was 50th Street with a gap under City jurisdiction as one reason. The Council clarified the segment language for the resolution should be County Road 158 from Gleason Road and Vernon Avenue between Highway 100 and Highway 62. Member Staunton introduced and moved adoption of Resolution 2017-79 supporting Hennepin County's efforts seeking approval for a functional class upgrade of Vernon Avenue from B Minor to A Minor to provide eligibility for regional solicitation funding in 2018 between Highway 100 and Highway 62.
