ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMISSION INITATIVE 6: LIMITED LIABILITY FOR CERTIFIED SALE APPLICATORS – APPROVED Sustainability Coordinator Tara Brown introduced Energy and Environment Commissioner Louann Waddick who presented the Commission’s project to reduce salt use in the City. She shared the importance of supporting State legislation to reduce salt application and the impact on waterbodies in the State and noted that contractors contributed 38% of salt pollution and while driver and pedestrian safety was important salt reduction could occur. The Council inquired about protection for certified applicators for small businesses and homeowners and thanked the Commission for their work and encouraged them to do more as part of the Comprehensive Water Management Plan.

SKETCH PLAN REVIEW: 5146 EDEN AVENUE (FORMER PUBLIC WORKS SITE) – REVIEWED Community Development Director Teague Presentation Mr. Teague outlined the request to redevelop the 3.3-acre vacant site at 5146 Eden Avenue. He said at full build out the site would include a 17-story, 193-foot tall building with 157 units of apartments with underground parking, a 3-story, 27-unit artist loft for affordable housing apartments, a 20,000-30,000-square foot art center/active adult center, a district parking ramp with 430 stalls, and a public plaza on Eden and Arcadia. Applicant Presentation David Anderson, Frauenshuh Inc., introduced his team and commented on the collaborative effort with the City staff. Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture, highlighted the proposed Grandview project at 5146 Eden Avenue based on the development guidelines. He shared the basic site plan with an art center, activity lawn, and common space that resulted in an interconnected product. He commented on the affordable housing components, market-rate housing, flexible space, common park and art and adult activity center. Mr. Dovolis noted a Park and Ride element could be contained within and stressed the activity on all sides with a green presence and the benefit of 95% recycled rainwater because of the covered parking. Terry Minarik, Confluence Design, shared an overview of site landscape elements which featured a porous site with interconnections and shared the series of terraces, tower amenities, and programmable space with pickle ball, basketball, soccer and concerts. He said a green buffer would be created with a green wall and activity circulation wall with rock climbing and other activities such as an art gallery. Economic Development Manager Neuendorf shared how this had been a long-planned process and that comments from the community open houses focused on height concerns, the need for other community elements, traffic concerns, and an overall excitement for this project. Michael Fry, Edina Art Center, shared how the current Art Center was not ADA compliant and that this well-designed building with adult and active centers would be compatible and beneficial for combined programming. The Council said they were pleased with the innovation of design, green space and green roof, and rain water management. They referred to the need for traffic studies and encouraged screening of mechanicals and muted lighting. They commented that the civic space needed to be larger versus the condos and the creation of more civic space for a community hub that included future rail transit. The Council suggested the need to include similar south connections for residents of the Trammel Crow building and to take advantage of height for two-level parking covered with civic space. They offered support for the walk ups but shared concerns about proximity to Arcadia Avenue and suggested arrangements for public parking. The Council discussed traffic issues regarding Eden Avenue and the controlled intersection at 53rd Street with a round-about that would serve Arcadia Avenue. The Council discussed the importance of pedestrian safety, a central plaza that included both the residential tower and community center with hospitality service and encouraged even more sustainability efforts such as power waste and power consumption. They noted height was essential for the site to be successful and supported the traffic management component and building placement of bringing the park to the corner to be more public. They commented on storm water management and the public parking placement and the potential of blending housing to create a better community. Minutes/Edina City Council/February 7, 2018 Page 5 Mr. Dovolis said green space access worked both ways on the lowest level and the 10-foot easement was an open issue and could be pushed 10 feet west to open up even further for more front stoops and small yard areas. The Council commented on transportation challenges and supported the staircases, public art, and integrity and warmth of landscaping. They said they were pleased with the public/private partnership and fiscal responsibilities and suggested possible outdoor movie opportunities, increased green space engagement and walkability, and suggested more windows be incorporated. VIII.C. 69TH STREET ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS UPDATE – RECEIVED Engineering Director Millner shared an update on the 69th Street access improvements. He said the project followed through on the assurance to Simon Properties for additional access from eastbound 69th Street near the AMC. He outlined three options for the Council and highlighted the preferred option of a roundabout. Mr. Millner noted staff met with property owners who supported the roundabout and that they were working on easements and incorporating the sidewalk on the north side. The Council clarified that the project would include one lane in each direction and if reconstructed would expand pedestrian movements. Mr. Millner said the proposed budget of $580,000 would be funded from the Centennial Lakes TIF, MSA, PACS, and storm water budgets and was scheduled to begin May 1. The Council encouraged extensive landscaping elements be included and noted the challenge of pedestrian friendly versus balance with traffic. They stated a single lane roundabout and extensive landscaping would help slow traffic as well. VIII.D.

Mr. Neal explained bids had been received, but were rejected because they were too high. He shared photos of the current bridge conditions and a rendering of the proposed project outlining the $780,000 additional costs would be paid for from General Fund surplus and Centennial Lakes maintenance fees. The Council agreed with the importance bridge replacement as this was the City’s most visited park. The Council confirmed the bid amount was still valid and asked what other projects competed for the funds proposed to cover the bridge replacement.

The truck is replacing a 3/4-ton vehicle (Vehicle 25-249) in our fleet. It will be serviced by our fleet maintenance operation division, and utilized by the street division. Environmental Impact This 2018 F550 with Truck Utilities service body will be replacing a 2007 Chevrolet 3/4-ton with a flat bed. This Ford F550 has four wheel drive and can be used all year long to replace street signs. This is a great improvement to the sign department in the installation and replacement of street signs. In the past the sign division of Public Works had to take a wheel loader out to remove a damaged sign along with the flatbed truck requiring at least two or more workers to repair or replace a sign. With this new piece of equipment only one person will be required to replace or repair street signs. The new truck will be a Diesel engine truck with tier 4 emissions making it one of the cleanest engines on the market. Community Impact This piece of equipment will be utilized in the Street division of the Public Works Department as well as the snow plowing operations in the winter months. Giving a defining impact to the residents of Edina in the level of service we can provide for them with a piece of equipment that will be used all year long.

It was approved as part of the 2017 CIP plan with an initial cost estimate of $740,000. This project was first bid in June of 2017, with the low bidder coming in 60% higher than the engineers estimate. City Manager Neal requested City Council to allocate an additional $350,000 to complete the project. The budget was subsequently expanded to $1,130,000 to more realistically reflect the current construction climate. • These bridges will replace two existing bridges built in 1991 that have significant repair needs. Environmental Impact • These bridges will primarily fit into the footprint of the existing bridges and walkways but, due to their accessible nature, will be much easier to maintain, especially during the winter months. This should allow for savings in labor and ice melt. • The lighting on the bridges as well as the approaches will all be LED bulbs to minimize electrical costs. • Since a portion of the bridge approaches will extend below the area flood plain, a small (54- yard), storm water storage system will be incorporated into the base of the ramps to meet watershed regulations. Community Impact • Installation of these bridges will make the park much more accessible for a variety of park users: walkers, senior citizens, parents with strollers, wheel chair users and more. Patrons will no longer face the barrier of our steep stairs. • This park improvement should have a useful life of over 75 years. Date: F ebruary 21, 2018 Agenda Item #: I V.E.

AT TAC HME N T S: Description Staff Report: Traffic Safety of Jan 2, 2018 DRAFT Minutes: Edina Transportation Commission January 18, 2018 Map: Location of Colonial Way (note: the red areas are where the parking restriction is requested) February 21, 2018 Edina City Council Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator Traffic Safety Report of January 2, 2018 Information / Background: The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on January 2. The Traffic Safety Coordinator, Police Lieutenant, Engineering Director, Public Works Director, Assistant City Planner and Transportation Planner were in attendance for this meeting. The Traffic Safety Specialist was not able to attend and was 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 January 18 Edina Transportation Commission and the February 21 City Council meeting agendas. Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends no action: B1. Request to restrict parking along Colonial Way  Requestor is concerned with the amount of on-street parking along Colonial Way and requesting parking to restricted  Colonial Way is a local street between Countryside Park and Colonial Church of Edina  Requestor is concerned with parked vehicles on Sundays  Parked vehicles are making it difficult to see approaching pedestrians crossing  There are two signs restricting parking on the west side of Colonial Way at the Church  Colonial Way is a width of 29’ STAFF REPORT Page 2 Map: Location of the marked crosswalk along Colonial Way Photo: Stop light at W 66th St and Valley View Rd Map: Location of W 66th St and Valley View Rd After review, staff recommends no action as the west side of Colonial Way has parking restrictions in place. Allowing on-street parking slows vehicle speed, which raises the overall safety along Colonial Way. Section C: Items on which staff recommends further study C1. Request to raise pedestrian awareness along Colonial Way  Requestor is concerned with pedestrian safety crossing Colonial Way  Colonial Way has a marked crosswalk connecting the parking lot to Countryside Park and the Colonial Church of Edina  The requestor is concerned with vehicles failing to yield for pedestrians crossing Colonial Way, believing current crosswalk markings are not adequate  There is no signage to signify a crosswalk or pedestrian crossing After review, staff recommends doing a weekday and a Sunday pedestrian crossing study. This will provide staff just how this section of Colonial Way functions as a whole to help give more information prior to any final recommendation. C2. Request to add a flashing yellow left turn light for southbound vehicles at Valley View Rd and W 66th St.  This request was raised by City staff to help improve the level of service of this intersection  Flashing yellow left turn arrows allow vehicles to proceed thru the intersection with caution, as opposed to waiting a full cycle before being given a green left turn arrow  This stop lights at this intersection are operated by the City After review, staff recommends further study. Staff would like to review past studies of this intersection, along with using references from other agencies including Hennepin County and Minnesota Department of Transportation. STAFF REPORT Page 3 Map: Location of crosswalk on W 69th St between Southdale Mall and the Galleria C3. Request to increase pedestrian safety at W 69th St  Requester is concerned with a lack of lighting at a Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon crossing between Southdale Mall and the Galleria  The resident is requesting more overhead lighting to increase visibility for pedestrians  W 69th St offers a pedestrian refuge between the eastbound and westbound approaches After review, staff will research adding overhead lighting at the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) located in the pedestrian refuge/median. Research items include current and desired pedestrian lighting levels, and costs associated with adding lighting to the RRFBs. Section D: Other Traffic Safety Items Handled D1. A request was made to re-time a pedestrian crossing light at the intersection of W 77th St and Computer Ave. After analyzing this intersection, the pedestrian crossing was working adequately and yielding proper crossing timing. D2. A resident requested traffic calming on Tracy Avenue near Highland Road. The resident is concerned with vehicles traveling too fast and not yielding to pedestrians crossing in a crosswalk near Countryside Elementary School. This request was forwarded to EPD to increase enforcement near school ending times. The resident also requested an all-way stop at Tracy and Highland to slow traffic. This resident was informed stop signs are placed in areas to control intersection right-of-way, and are not engineered to slow traffic. D3. A request was sent to traffic safety regarding pedestrian safety along Benton Avenue over the HWY 100 bridge. The concern was the sidewalk at this location was full of ice and snow and the resident was requesting it to be cleared. This request was forwarded to Public Works. D4. A resident requested a traffic control change on Tracy Avenue at Crosstown HWY 62. The resident is concerned with the lack of gaps on Tracy Ave while exiting from HWY 62. This resident was informed Edina previously received this request and was reviewed as a C item in the April 2017 TSC report. D5. A resident was concerned with vehicle speeds along Lincoln Dr, south of Malibu Rd. The resident was requesting increased police enforcement to assist in slowing down speeding vehicles. This request was forwarded to the EPD for increased enforcement. D6. A resident was concerned with the amount of vehicles parking along Braeburn Cir. Upon video surveillance of this cul-de-sac, no issues were found. This col-de-sac will continue to be monitored.

For example, low-, medium- or high-density residential; business and light industrial; more retail, etc.? Philip Miller · Citizen · (Postal Code: unknown) · Jan 08, 2018 4:11 pm 7 Votes Most of the retail and light industrial buildings in the neighborhood are tired and ugly. I would support newer, fresher and more appealing versions of much the same sort of infrastructure. It is nice to have a few neighborhood restaurants, shops and services as well as some medium density housing. I think there would be more business if things were more appealing. Robert Have · Citizen · (Postal Code: unknown) · Jan 08, 2018 4:33 pm 6 Votes I think the Cahill area is a hidden gem waiting to be improved. I would like to see a dramatic improvement in the area. Many of the buildings are tired. I’d love to see a combination of walkable shops and restaurants and owner occupied housing. I want to stay in Edina but do not want to rent! With what is being built in the Southdale area, I think we’ve done our part for the rental market. We need housing options in the $300– $500k range allowing single level living in units with 1500–2500 square feet. Kaylin Eidsness · Admin · (Postal Code: 55424) · Jan 08, 2018 5:00 pm 2 Votes [From Robin J.] This is an opportunity to finally provide affordable condominium style (like Grandview - 1,500 sq ft to 2,500 sq ft units) in the $500,000 to $700,000 price range. As far as hight restrictions, as there really aren't any units effected, I'd love to see something like 7 to 15 stories. This would help move empty nesters out of homes and open them up for young families, help keep our schools filled and our elderly population safe and in Edina. We do a great job for the age 49 and under residence (apts & homes), and the over age 75 residence (Assisted Living & Nursing Home Care) but not so well for the age 50 to 75 residence. This is an opportunity we should not pass up. 1 of 16 Full Report 70th and Cahill Small Area Plan Closed Feb 02, 2018 · Discussion · 42 Participants · 4 Topics · 82 Answers · 7 Replies · 56 Votes David Frenkel · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55424) · Jan 08, 2018 5:45 pm 6 Votes NO Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for any new development.

There are plenty of condos on Cahill already. The area needs restaurants and updated small retail and sidewalks where people can walk safely between the shops. Erik Rutzen · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55439) · Jan 08, 2018 7:15 pm 5 Votes Honestly it would be a shame if that area became a massive high rise building area. I’m all for more restaurants and small businesses there, but it should keep the small, residential feel to it. Also, every Edina kid nowadays has fond memories of biking to the Edina market with a big group of friends, getting some Arizonas, and chilling outside. If you guys try and tear down the Edina market Edina will have a great loss. Such a classic store Lynn Hechanova · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55439) · Jan 08, 2018 7:27 pm 2 Votes Mixed use.

John Nash · Citizen · (Postal Code: unknown) · Jan 08, 2018 9:00 pm 7 Votes Restaurants and small businesses are what should be there. There are two new and excellent restaurants there - Mexican and Latin - and others that have been there a while. The city should do everything possible to sustain and promote this little center as a great place to eat and support the small, independent businesses that are growing there. New construction could price the existing businesses out of business and they'd be replaced with more of the boring,, corporate chain stuff the Cities already have too much of. 2 of 16 Full Report 70th and Cahill Small Area Plan Closed Feb 02, 2018 · Discussion · 42 Participants · 4 Topics · 82 Answers · 7 Replies · 56 Votes Judith Felker · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55439) · Jan 08, 2018 9:42 pm 1 Votes I agree with Robin J as quoted by Kaylin. This is an opportunity to build affordable condos, especially for "empty nesters". Moving to a condo within Edina makes sense for people like us, and our homes would then be available for new families. Walkability is important. Safe and relatively short walks to health clinics, pharmacies, small businesses, restaurants, etc., as suggested by John Nash and Lynn Hechanova would help build community. The small businesses could be ringed around a large park/lake (or fountain) area. Definitely underground parking for the condos, maybe parking ramps for the businesses, but plan less for cars and more for walking, biking, buses or even light rail for the whole area and beyond. That's our future; make it green! Maura Schnorbach · Citizen · (Postal Code: unknown) · Jan 09, 2018 6:10 am 5 Votes I think the area should be completely renovated to make it beautiful and accessible to walkers, bikers and integrate it into the surrounding community. It is also essential to create parking. I would like to see a mix of shops including coffee, bakery, hair salon and unique restaurants. I would favor low density building with landscaping to connect it to the neighborhood and park. Making strategic investments in our community will keep it vibrant and flourishing. It may also be worth exploring shared work spaces for small, independent businesses or some type of collaborative community space. Steve Gilfix · Citizen · (Postal Code: unknown) · Jan 09, 2018 12:36 pm 5 Votes Where are the property owners in this process? Are they seeking zoning or other changes that require city approval?

Rachel Jerstad · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55439) · Jan 09, 2018 8:02 pm 3 Votes I own a town home on Village Drive, just off 70th and Cahill. We love the restaurants and businesses and they are just a quick walk. We also love Lewis park. It is used all summer and winter long. There are quite a number of condo's in the area and we do not need any more. I would also HATE to see any high rise buildings. The neighborhood feeling of the area is a huge part of its charm. As others have said it is critical to support the new local restaurants. We have eaten at all of them and the stories that the owners tell are incredible as is the food. My 14 year old son and his friends ride their bikes and skate boards to the Edina Market frequently.

I love the restaurants, grocery and other retail that are located in the core of this neighborhood, it's just that the area lacks density to support those endeavors. There are posts daily that encourage support of these businesses and the apparent lack to traffic leads me to believe this is an area that would improve from higher density. I would like to see medium to high density (3-4 stories) brought to the core of this development with substantial apartment or condo development. The land is adjacent to our new bike trail and close to the Lewis park walking trails. It also begs for a live/work scenario with all the office/industrial located on the southern doorstep of this small area. Being sensitive to the local businesses that currently occupy the space by building in installments and allowing retail, restaurant and coffee shops to develop (or move) into the first floor spaces. Ample space for some more green space - both public (outward facing) and private (courtyard spaces), with underground parking throughout the block (residents/workers) to minimize the surface parking needs. Housing, while seemingly in over supply with all the development is being absorbed much quicker that it is being made available. The MSP region has the highest apartment occupancy rate in the country as of the 4th quarter of 2017 - 97%. This coupled with the need for quality condos for our home owner community that is looking to move from their single family homes - we need to find a way for these folks to stay in our community.

Remodeling the existing buildings is not a good idea, it would only be a bandaid. I do not believe that higher density would benifit the area either. Current use can be supported and if redeveloped with a more functional design it would bring in new retail and substantially increase the use but not impact the existing residential surroundings.

Gramercy Tavern could open in there and I still wouldn't go there to eat because the buildings are just barely a notch above dining in a church basement. Melin needs to be seriously strong-armed into giving a sh*t, and the city needs to help realize the incredible potential of that location. I have a young family and would love a local eatery (Pizzeria Lola? Birchwood?) or grocer (Lakewinds Coop, Surdyks?) or wine bar (Lucias?). Low-density housing, like 50th and France feels right - condos above retail, but nothing bigger like what's on Excelsior Blvd. It needs WAY more green to help cover that eye sore of an electrical plant and those awful meters and dumpsters I see every time I drive Cahill. It should feel more a part of the neighborhood than the industrial park: which is how it was originally conceived when this area was founded.

Joel Stegner · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55435) · Jan 11, 2018 12:27 am 2 Votes Bah humbug to black and white thinking - the remodel versus teardown is a false dichotomy. Keep what is working - get rid of what isn't. Build on strengths, build over weaknesses. Talking about shutting down viable businesses, tearing down and not replacing affordable housing, and taking moderately price homes to attract more top 1% households hurts those who have been loyal taxpaying Edina residents. It is always gong to be a stretch for young people and entrepreneurs without family wealth to move and stay here, so let's not make it any harder than it is already. MJ McG · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55439) · Jan 12, 2018 2:50 pm 1 Votes We recently moved to this area to live in a townhome and the shopping center complex is an embarrassment to us. Somebody once said that it reminded them of a bankrupt city's remaining strip mall and I think that is a pretty accurate description. Even the old wood signs are just awful, it feels more like North Minneapolis than it does Edina. Shame on the Melin family for not updating this property and taking care of the grounds. I would love to see a complete re-development, a whole new look and new businesses (Caribou would be a dream!). I also agree that we do not need any more fast food. Anything would be an improvement over what's there now! Richard Carlson · Citizen · (Postal Code: unknown) · Jan 12, 2018 3:18 pm 0 Votes I favor redevelopment, not remodeling. Existing buildings are outmoded and a hodgepodge; pedestrian access doesn't work well. Will Durfee · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55439) · Jan 12, 2018 5:42 pm 1 Votes While remodeling might be possible, the current layout and buildings will make it challenging to convert this area to what many seem to want (inviting and exciting mixed-use). To get this done right (and let's do it right), major redevelopment may be needed. Meghan Van Someren · Citizen · (Postal Code: 55439) · Jan 14, 2018 12:38 pm 0 Votes Extensive Remodeling.

More green space and more walking paths would be beneficial. There are a few restaurants that have really breathed new life into this area - Los Padres, Cahill Bistro, along with the long-standing TJs. I'd hate for their leases to be driven up, driving them out. I encourage mixed-use with a focus on restaurants and small independent retail that appeals to local residents (no chain stores, no Vitamin Shops, no fast food, no Walgreens) that allows the character of the neighborhood and residents to come through.

January Discussion: 70th & Cahill Small Area Plan The CITY ofEDINASpeakUpEdina.org EdinaMN.gov 2 The CITY ofEDINA70th& Cahill Small Area Plan In this discussion, the City posed the following questions: •What do you see being the best use of land for the 70th and Cahill area in the future? For example, low-, medium-or high- density residential; business and light industrial; more retail, etc.? •How should the area look and feel in the future? What does the feature target audience look like? •What does the future transportation of the area look like? Where should people park? For example, in underground ramps, on-site lots, off-site along the streets or in area ramps? How important is it to have bus services around the area and to make it bicycle-friendly? How important is it to have additional access points into the area and from which direction and what areas of the city? •When it comes to the future of the area, which of the following would you prefer and why? •Extensive remodeling –essentially keep the existing layout and buildings in place, but refresh the structures so that the area feels more updated. •Redevelop a large portion of what exists today –demolish a large portion of the area and basically start over with the site design to create better links to the surrounding neighborhoods, improve transportation options and increase the attractiveness of the 70th & Cahill area.

The applicant has been informed the city will not vacate the easement between lots 2 & 3 unless they pay to move Comcast’s infrastructure. At this time, they have no concerns with maintaining the current easement between lots 2 & 3. Staff recommends approval to vacate the drainage and utility easement between lots 1 & 2 legally described as; That part of the 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement centered on the common lot line between Lots 1 & 2, Block I, Warner Estates which lies westerly of the east 5 feet of said Lots 1 & 2 and southeasterly of the northwesterly 10 feet of said Lots I & 2 With the following conditions: 1.

This Plan was a visionary and ambitious bicycle plan for its time, resulting in nearly 40 lane miles of new bicycle facilities since then. In 2014, in part because of the Bicycle Plan, Edina received a Bicycle Friendly Community Award at the bronze level. Also in 2014, the City approved a new Sidewalk Facilities Plan for amendment into the Pedestrian and Bike Facilities section of the Comprehensive Plan, which outlined a 20+ year plan to enhance and increase the pedestrian network in Edina. Since 2014, the City has constructed ten miles of sidewalk based on the recommendations of that Plan, and the approved Living Streets Plan. As part of the City’s continued efforts to provide opportunities for walking and biking, and to correspond with the current 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update process, in May of 2017 the City hired a consulting team led by Community Design Group to prepare a combined Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. This Master Plan is intended to be included as part of the Transportation Chapter of City’s Comprehensive Plan, replacing the 2008 Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan and parts of the “Pedestrian and Bike Facilities” section. The following is a summary of engagement events and opportunities hosted by the City and consultant during the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Planning process: • Kick-off Open House (July 2017) • Three “Pop-Up” Workshops (August 2017) • Listening Session at Edina High School (September 2017) • Three Edina Transportation Commission Meetings (2017 & 2018) • Final Open House (December 2017) • Draft Master Plan posted for public review (January 2018) • Planning Commission Work Session (January 2018) • Planning Commission Public Hearing (February 2018) • City Council Public Hearing (February 2018) STAFF REPORT Page 2 In addition, the City hosted a project website where users could interact with an online map and identify routes they use or would like to use, and also complete an online survey. Over 300 unique users logged into the online map and submitted over 700 comments, and 680 project surveys were completed.

Goals Goals for the plan are twofold: »To increase the number of Edina residents, workers and visitors who walk or bike for transportation, health, fitness, and recreation in the city, and, »To support city, resident and elected officials’ work and efforts to offer the highest quality of life and best experience of their city to Edina residents, businesses, workers and visitors. Community guidance The plan was developed with the active participation of the Edina community and guidance and consultation with city staff. A vigorous engagement process - using both in-person and innovative online approaches - brought the voice and ideas of well over a thousand Edina residents into the shaping of the plan’s vision and recommendations. The guidance was clear: residents recognize, enjoy and appreciate the many walk / bike assets the city has developed over the last ten years - but there are also many opportunities for improving current conditions and innovating, once again, to develop and offer residents the best, most productive approaches for growing walking and biking in the city. Engaging with Edina High students to receive their ideas for the plan. Innovative online tools were used to receive comments and ideas from hundreds of residents. Executive summary 2 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan An All Ages and Abilities Network Guidance from Edina residents was very clear: connecting to schools, parks and neighborhoods with safe and comfortable facilities is a key priority. This plan proposes an All Ages and Abilities walk / bike system that is built around a new “Twin Loops” framework connecting key assets in the city through a high-comfort, high-amenity network of walking and biking routes and supporting facilities. The Inner and Outer Loops, working together with the new Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail, provide high quality connections tying all four city quadrants and serving Edina schools, community destinations and parks, regional destinations, and adjoining communities. A comprehensive approach The plan recognizes the importance of a comprehensive approach for achieving success: a full suite of recommendations - from on-the-ground routes and facilities to a robust set of education, encouragement and other programming initiatives are part of the plan’s “6Es” approach. Edina’s Twin Loops, with Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail Outer Loop Inner Loop Ni n e M i l e C r e e k Re g i o n a l T r a i l 3Executive Summary Bikeshare, educational campaigns, and recommendations for supporting development of new “mobility hubs” in the city are included. Taking care of what we’ve got But the plan is not only about making new investments - it’s also about recognizing and taking care of the many walk / bike assets Edina has developed over the last few years. Recommendations for maintaining infrastructure, and offering a year-round walking and biking network are also a key part of the plan. Implementation - where we make it real Recommendations are great - but none of it counts if we don’t build it. The plan includes robust guidance for implementation approaches - from a “test it first” and quick / tactical approach to developing facilities and infrastructure to recommendations for implementing programs. Most important of all, it includes a preliminary evaluation on how to implement the Edina Twin Loops - by looking at opportunities, constraints, and potential phasing for developing the individual segments that will make up this premier, signature walking and biking framework for the city’s transportation network. Several potential funding sources are also identified. Next steps Once the plan completes the city’s review and approvals process, it will become part of its Comprehensive Plan, offering guidance for the city’s next investments until the year 2030. Executive summary A robust network that invites walking and biking year-round. On the Edina Twin Loops: one potential configuration. 4 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 1 Introduction and approach 5Introduction This chapter provides an introduction to the plan - its goals, vision and principles, and provides an overview of why planning for people walking and biking is important. 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Vision 1.3 Why plan for walking and biking? 1.4 Goals 1.5 Guiding principles Introduction and approach 6 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Walking and biking are basic and sustainable forms of transportation that provide healthy, affordable, and enjoyable options for reaching our daily destinations. Walkable, bikeable places provide safe, comfortable and inviting walking and biking routes and offer freedom of travel for people of all ages, abilities and incomes, including the young and elderly. About this plan This plan is a guiding document that offers recommendations - including routes, facilities and programs - to improve walking and biking in Edina so these options become safer, more convenient and more inviting and enjoyable options for people who live, work, and play in the city. The plan uses two key approaches for framing its recommendations: »An Active Living approach that seeks to make walking and biking comfortable and normal everyday activities for connecting to work, school, parks, transit and other community destinations »A 6Es approach that uses a combination of on-the-ground improvements with supportive programs (maps, community events, safety campaigns and others) to make improvements in the city and grow walking and biking The plan builds on the many investments and improvements that have been completed over the last ten years, and looks ten years into the future for its recommendations. 1.1 Introduction How the plan was developed The project team worked closely with Edina residents, staff and policymakers to learn firsthand about their issues and ideas for improvement, and to develop a vision for walking and biking in the city. Latest and best practices in network, facility and program design were used to analyze and address the issues noted by residents and to respond to other safety, connectivity and comfort issues discovered by the project team. An implementation plan was developed to identify priorities for funding and building improvements. 7Introduction The plan’s Vision is a statement describing the future of Edina after the plan’s recommendations are implemented. It was developed from the comments and ideas gathered through the Plan’s community engagement process, and refined through work with Edina staff and the Edina Transportation Commission. Edina is an innovative, people-friendly community where people of all ages and abilities walk and bike for transportation, recreation and fitness, and where walking and biking are safe, comfortable, inviting and convenient everyday activities during the entire year. Edina uses a cost-effective and integrated 6Es approach (engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, evaluation and equity) to equitably grow walking and biking throughout the community, and to sustainably develop and maintain its existing and future infrastructure and programs. Edina is a national model for the integration and development of Active Transportation into the fabric of a developed and forward-thinking first-ring suburban community. 1.2 Vision Introduction and approach 8 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 1.3 Why plan for walking and biking? Safety Comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle transportation systems help improve safety by providing interconnected networks with fewer gaps, more separation from motor vehicle traffic, and calmer streets. Livability Increasing transportation options helps achieve broader community goals including access to jobs, neighborhood schools, and services. Access to destinations / mobility Walking and bicycling increase access and overall mobility, allowing people of all ages and abilities to reach more destinations throughout Edina. Health Active transportation options, like walking and biking, provide an opportunity for residents to build physical activity into their daily lives. In general, communities with higher rates of walking and bicycling have lower rates of obesity, and higher percentages of residents meeting weekly recommended physical activity levels. Household and community prosperity Walking and biking are affordable transportation options that reduce the cost of transportation for all. People who walk or bike for at least some of their trips are able to save on many costs associated with vehicle ownership, freeing up budget for other necessities and luxuries. 9Introduction Cleaner air and environmental stewardship When more people walk, bike, or take transit to meet their transportation needs instead of driving, all residents benefit from cleaner air and reductions in harmful pollutants caused by vehicle exhaust. Additionally, reductions in driving help decrease Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions which supports Edina’s shared value of being good environmental stewards. Recreation Walking and biking are among the top desired recreational activities in regional surveys, especially among older residents. During public engagement, Edina residents ranked walking and biking for fitness and recreation higher than for other purposes. Parking and congestion alleviation Over 25% of trips in the U.S. are shorter than one mile. That’s a 20-minute walk, or a 5-minute bike ride, an approachable distance for most people. Fewer people driving means less congestion on existing roadways, less demand for parking, less time and money spent waiting in traffic, and safer conditions for people who choose to walk or bike. Regional economic competitiveness Communities with trails and safe walking and biking infrastructure attract tourism and boost their economies. Businesses that can be easily reached by foot or bike are perceived as being more convenient, and benefit from better access for their customers. Replacing driving trips with walking and biking keeps more money in the local economy by not exporting it to purchase fuel. If each household in Edina were able to buy one fewer gallon of gas each month by walking and biking more, they would save a combined $620,000 a year to use in the local economy. What Edina residents want Over one thousand Edina residents shared their ideas and priorities for improving walking and bicycling in the city. Their guidance was incorporated into the plan’s recommendations. This is what they said: • Walking and riding a bike are fun and valued activities in the city. • There are gaps in the current network that make walking or biking difficult. • Walking and biking close to motor vehicle traffic is stressful and makes daily use of these options less attractive. • It’s uncomfortable and difficult to get across intersections in larger roads in the city. • Maintaining walking and biking facilities throughout the year (including winter) is important. • Getting around the city and finding routes to destinations can sometimes be confusing or difficult. Introduction and approach 10 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 1.4 Goals What are the goals for the plan? The goal for the plan is very simple: to increase the number of Edina residents, workers and visitors who walk or bike for transportation, health, fitness, and recreation in the city. How will we achieve this goal? We’ll achieve this goal by doing these two things: »Providing a continuous network of safe, comfortable and inviting facilities, and, »Implementing a full range of effective and proactive programs that support increased walking and biking in the city - including programs in community education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation. Did you know? Many destinations in Edina could be easily reached by walking or biking at a comfortable pace if we improve routes and connections in the city. How far could we get by walking or biking in Edina? 11Introduction of all trips in the U.S. are three miles or shorter of all trips are shorter than one mile of all those short trips are taken in private motorized vehicles. Did you know? Health starts in the communities where we live, work, and play. The way communities are planned and designed plays a significant role in the physical, emotional, and financial well-being of community members. Active living policies and initiatives help make physical activity (like walking or biking) a useful, easy, fun and normal part of everyday life for a community’s residents. Active living is important for a community because it can: • Improve physical and mental health; • Make walking and biking safer; • Bring people together to build safer, stronger communities; • Reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, maximize green space, and reduce transportation costs for families; and • Decrease the risk and severity of chronic disease and medical costs. Active living approach The most harmful pollutants are emitted within minutes of starting a car. Short trips pollute more per mile and have a bigger negative impact on environmental and physical health than longer trips. 50% over25% 2/3 Introduction and approach 12 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan These are the principles that will help Edina achieve its goals and vision: Improve safety, perception of safety, and user comfort Proactively address conditions at intersections, facilities or trail locations where issues of safety or user perception of safety exist. Increase comfort of existing facilities to address user perceptions or preferences and grow walking and biking trips in the city. Develop facilities and address gaps Provide facilities and connections where needed and develop walking and biking networks that offer continuous, high-quality, comfortable connections. Use an “All Ages and Abilities” approach to provide safe routes for all To grow walking and biking in the city, implement improvements and facilities that are designed for the safe and comfortable use by the majority of Edina residents, including children, seniors, and adults - including those who are not currently walking or biking in the city today. Networks provide the framework for improvement Continuous, consistent and comfortable route networks for walking and biking provide the armature for investment and for developing facilities in the city. Connectivity for everyday uses and needs High quality walking and biking networks that connect to useful everyday destinations like schools, work, transit, neighborhoods, parks and other community destinations make it easy and convenient for more people in Edina to choose these modes for a greater portion of their transportation and mobility needs. 1.5 Guiding principles 13Introduction Connect to regional and local assets and destinations Safe and convenient walking and biking facilities connect to destinations in Edina and neighboring communities. Connections to the growing network of regional walk and bike trails expand the number of potential destinations available to Edina residents and provide increased access to our region’s assets. Evaluation is the foundation for continuous improvement Ongoing and continuous quantitative and qualitative evaluation of investments guides Edina to cost-effective, productive walking and biking investments that result in increased walking and biking in the city. Overall success for the plan is measured by growth in the number of people who walk or bike in the city. A “tactical urbanism” approach supports experimentation and innovation Pilot projects and other temporary approaches for experimenting and evaluating potential solutions help identify cost-effective, useful investments in the city’s walking and biking networks. A year-round approach Year-round safe and inviting walking and biking requires a year-round approach for maintenance, communications and programming. A sustainable, resilient network Infrastructure and programming investments consider their environmental, social and economic sustainability, and build supporting frameworks for their continuation into the future. Facilities and connections that offer multiple routes for accessing destinations, high quality materials and design, proactive maintenance, and responsive resident engagement help develop and maintain a resilient system serving the needs of Edina residents well into the future. Introduction and approach 14 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 2 Guidance from the Edina community 15Engagement A robust community engagement process was a key component of the approach for this plan, serving as the foundation for the plan’s vision and recommendations. This chapter provides a high-level summary of activities and findings - for additional details, please consult Appendix B, which includes results from all of the plan’s community engagement activities. 2.1 What we did 2.2 What we heard and learned Community engagement 16 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 2.1 What we did Connecting with Edina residents was a key priority for the plan. We conducted extensive in- person and online engagement to receive comments and guidance from Edina residents detailing their current experiences and their aspirations for the future of walking and biking in the city. The plan’s vision and recommendations reflect this guidance, as well as the comments and guidance from Edina staff and other stakeholders. A detailed summary of public engagement efforts can be found in Appendix B. Where did we go? We held several in-person events to share project information and gather resident comments. Events included: • Kick-Off Open House (July 2017) • Centennial Lakes Farmer’s Market (Pop- Up Workshop) • Jerry’s Foods (Pop-Up Workshop) • Bredesen Park (Pop-Up Workshop) • Edina High School (Listening Session) • Final Open House (December 2017) Gathering comments from Edina residents at Bredesen Park. 17Engagement At the Edina Farmer’s Market Pop Up.

To look forward toward the next ten years, it’s important to understand those assets and to note where there are opportunities for addressing current issues. This chapter reviews existing conditions, assets and issues and provides background to understand the recommendations in the plan. 3.1 Celebrating Edina’s accomplishments 3.2 Edina in context 3.3 Existing pedestrian and bicycle system 3.4 Current plans and policies Existing conditions and analysis 24 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 3.1 Celebrating Edina’s accomplishments In 2007 Edina began its efforts toward becoming a more walkable and bikeable community through the development of its first Bicycle Transportation Plan. Since then, Edina has made numerous investments in planning, policy and implementation to improve conditions for people walking and biking in the city. Some of these accomplishments include: »In 2012 the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund was approved (and implemented in 2013), providing a dedicated source of funding (approximately $1.2 million a year) for the construction and maintenance of non-motorized infrastructure. »In 2013 the Living Streets Policy was approved by City Council, articulating citywide goals to increase safety, public and environmental health, transportation choice, economic benefits and community identity through infrastructure and facilities projects. »In 2014 the City Council approved the Active (Safe) Routes to School Comprehensive Plan, which provided recommendations to improve opportunities for students and their families to walk and bike to school. »Also in 2014, the City updated its sidewalk plan to include several more miles of proposed sidewalk facilities in the City, and amended this into its Comprehensive Plan. »The City of Edina was awarded a bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community designation in 2014 by the League of American Cyclists. »Since 2013 Edina has constructed over ten miles of sidewalks, and since 2008 the City has added almost 40 lane miles of bicycle facilities. This Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan provides a road map to continue this progress into the future, leveraging Edina’s momentum and joining the national movement for more connected, livable, and healthy and resilient communities. A demonstrated commitment to implementation Under York Avenue, in 2007. And today. 25Existing Conditions Existing conditions and analysis New since 2007 (a small sample): Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail. About forty miles of new bicycle routes and facilities. Recognition as a Bronze-Level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. New sidewalks, trails, and innovative treatments to improve walkability and pedestrian safety. 26 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 3.2 Edina in context Edina is a fully-developed, first-ring suburban community of just over 50,000 residents located along the southwest portion of Minneapolis, Minnesota in Hennepin County. Minnesota State Highways 62 and 100 divide the sixteen square mile City into four sections or “quadrants.” From its incorporation in 1888 as a milling area on the banks of Minnehaha Creek, Edina has evolved to be a model among municipalities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The city offers high-quality single- and multifamily housing along with successful commercial and retail centers in the Southdale Center area and at the 50th and France district, among others. One of Edina’s key attributes in its success has been its forward-thinking approach to ensure it continues to offer the highest quality of life for its residents, businesses, workers, and visitors. Urban form As is typical for other suburban communities that grew in the years after the Second World War, Edina’s urban form often includes widely separated land uses and disconnected street networks throughout much of the community - making walkability difficult, and requiring that people travel by car for most of their daily needs. Over the past several years, Edina city policy and form have begun to change to better meet the health, environmental and economic needs and aspirations of its residents. There is a wide variety of walkability conditions through the city, with areas that developed earlier, like the neighborhoods in northeast Edina, having a much more connected street network and pedestrian infrastructure than areas that developed later, like southwest Edina. Save for exceptions in the older parts of the city (as well as in new development currently being considered), land uses are generally separated from each other, with a roadway network that follows a typical suburban pattern of minor arterials (generally Hennepin County roads spaced about every mile) providing automobile- oriented connections to commercial areas, employment centers, and other major destinations. Neighborhood streets provide limited connectivity within the larger grid – often ending in cul-de-sacs or a dead-end, and conveying motor-vehicle traffic out onto higher-speed, higher-volume arterials.

Existing conditions and analysis 28 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Regional and local corridors Roadways Major roadway corridors include Highway 62, running through the city from east to west and Highway 100 running through the city from north to south. Highway 169 creates the western border of the city while Interstate 494 creates the southern border. Highway 100 and Highway 62 divide the city into four quadrants. County Road 17 (France Avenue) is also a main route in the eastern portion of the city. Regional walk / bike trails Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail runs through the southwestern portion of Edina. Local walk / bike routes A connected network of sidewalks is provided in the northeast quadrant of the city, though connectivity is more limited in the remaining quadrants. Approximately forty miles of on-street bicycle routes are provided, including along Blake Road, Interlachen Boulevard, Vernon Ave, 44th Street, and 70th Street. Many of the city’s parks include recreational trails, with ongoing efforts to increase connectivity to other destinations.Existing sidewalks Existing bicycle infrastructure Existing neighboring networks Planned neighboring networks Data source: City of Edina 29Existing Conditions Transportation at a glance Here are a few transportation-related facts (from the US Census) to understand current travel patterns in the city. Hennepin County 23 Min. Edina 20 Min. Commuting Time... Edina residents use transit to commute to work at about half the rate as the general Hennepin County population. The number of employees who work from home was higher than the county average by 3 percentage points. How does Edina commute to work?

Edina’s population is generally both older and younger than Hennepin County as a whole. About one fourth of residents are under 18, with another fourth above 65 years of age. Offering safe and comfortable transportation options for them will become even more important! Other demographic information Population growth, income and ethnicity The population of Edina is increasing at the same rate as Hennepin County as a whole at 4% over the last 5 years. The population of Edina is expected to increase by another 10% by 2040. Although the median household income of Edina is higher than the county average, there are still 5 percent of Edina residents living in poverty. Making sure that low-income and transit-dependent households (those without access to a motor-vehicle) have walk, bike and transit options to reach their daily destinations will help ensure more equitable transportation outcomes in the city. 31Existing Conditions Existing Land Uses Industrial Public/Semi-Public Multi-Family Residential Parks and Recreation Retail/Commercial Single-Family Residential Vacant Existing land uses The majority of land use in Edina is single- family residential. Pockets of retail and commercial use are found along county roads and highways. Parks and recreation areas are available throughout the city.

The Comprehensive Plan is a long-term plan that addresses community-wide issues and desires. Environmental sustainability and active transportation are prominent topics covered in the Comprehensive Plan. Pedestrian and bicycle travel are recognized as essential components of the “nodes and modes” approach it proposes for redeveloping new higher density districts at selected locations in the city. Sidewalks and trails along streets are intended to enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety by providing separation from motor- vehicle traffic within the public right-of-way. Edina Park, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan (2015) The Edina Park, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan identifies opportunities for future park system improvements. Trails are identified a primary focus for improvement and continued investment. The Edina Grand Loop, a high quality, separated walk / bike trail that connects with existing walk / bike / trail assets and provides circulation across all four city quadrants, is one of that plan’s key recommendations, and is picked up by this plan. Pedestrian Facilities Comprehensive Plan Amendment (2014) This amendment identifies the city’s approved sidewalk network, to be considered for current and future roadway reconstruction projects.

Although both modes have much in common with each other (as active, non-motorized modes with a high degree of interconnectedness and exposure to the surrounding environment, including motor- vehicle traffic), there are significant and important differences in the characteristics of each mode and the needs of their users. Pedestrians Pedestrians include people of all ages and abilities - including people with physical or cognitive disabilities, and those who depend on mobility devices like wheelchairs or walkers - who are walking, rolling, pausing, sitting and resting within Edina’s streets and other public spaces. Designing for pedestrians means making streets accessible to all, and providing safe and comfortable spaces with continuous, unobstructed and attractive sidewalks, safe and comfortable intersections and travel across roadways, and a supportive environment that provides comfortable separation from motor-vehicle traffic as well as visual variety, engaging building frontages, connection to natural elements, and design for human scale and needs. Accommodating people with disabilities Pedestrians may have cognitive disabilities (like limited vision) or physical disabilities that require use of wheelchairs or walkers for their travel. Adhering to the guidance of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way (PROWAG) will help ensure Edina’s pedestrian facilities address the needs of the widest range of users. Spatial characteristics for pedestrians using wheelchairs 2.75 ft 4 - 5 ft 4 - 5 f t 6 ft Pedestrians include people using wheelchairs, walkers and strollers, and people with sight and other cognitive impairments 47Framework Bicycle riders Bicycle riders include adults, children and seniors using conventional, tandem and tag-along bicycles, cargo and utility bicycles and tricycles - whether conventionally-powered, or as is becoming more commonplace, assisted by electric power (e-bikes). Designing for bicycle riders means providing facilities that are safe, comfortable, direct, clearly marked and understandable, and part of a cohesive, connected network to encourage use by Edina residents of all ages and abilities. Facilities that provide comfortable separation from motor-vehicle traffic as well as safe and comfortable travel through busy intersections, and supportive elements like wayfinding, connections to transit, and parking and other end of trip facilities will support growth of bicycle travel in Edina.

Framework for recommendations 48 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 4.2 All Ages and Abilities: Building a plan for a variety of users The Edina pedestrian and bicycle network will provide safe, comfortable, and inviting routes and places for walking and biking. Growing walking and biking in the city will hinge on not only improving the network for those currently walking and biking, but also on attracting new users (those who would like to walk or bike today, but feel uncomfortable or unsafe using the current system). Attitudes toward walking and bicycling One useful system for understanding the varying needs and comfort levels of existing and potential bicycle riders (and which can help understand solutions to issues also affecting pedestrians) is the “Four Types of Bicycle Riders” framework first developed by the City of Portland and since then validated in cities across the United States. In general, it establishes that a city’s population includes three main groups of potential bicycle riders: Interested but concerned (about 60% of adults) This is the largest group of potential bicycle riders in a community, but also the least likely to regularly ride a bicycle because the type of facilities generally provided in most US cities today exceed their tolerance for traffic stress. “I like the idea of biking, but I don’t bike much (or at all) now. If I do bike, I often stick to the trails. Comfort is my highest priority.” Facilities that will invite members of this population into biking provide greater separation from motor-vehicle traffic and simplified crossing maneuvers for safely getting across intersections. Enthusiastic and confident (about 7 to 9% of adults) People in this group can share the road with motor vehicle traffic, but prefer to ride on bike lanes or other designated bikeways. Members of this population account for the increase in bicycle riding in communities that have invested in bicycle lanes. “I will bike for transportation or recreation. I feel best riding on bike lanes, but will take the lane if necessary.” The minimum facility that will invite them into biking regularly is designated bicycle lanes. 49Framework Strong and fearless (about 1% of adults) People in this population are regularly riding, even when no facilities or minimal facilities are provided. Their experience and expectation for their riding environment is different from that of the majority of other current or potential riders. “I feel comfortable riding with cars and taking the lane on any street.” Separation from people walking or slower bicycle riders may be as important to these riders as separation from people driving. Not able or interested (30% of adults) This group includes people who have no current interest in bicycling, or who are physically unable to bike. Some members of this group could transition into the “interested but concerned” group if general conditions or their personal circumstances changed. Pedestrians also respond to conditions of user comfort in their surroundings - long crossings or sidewalks adjacent to traffic are often named as barriers - even if crosswalks or pedestrian signals are provided.

Framework for recommendations 50 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 4.3 The 6 E’s of pedestrian and bicycle planning The most effective approach for growing walking and biking in a community is to work comprehensively to combine on-the-ground improvements with a wide range of supportive social, educational and enforcement campaigns (also known as non-infrastructure or “programs” measures). There is a framework for pedestrian and bicycle planning that does exactly this, and it’s the framework that this plan uses to organize all its recommendations. This framework is known as the 6 E’s. All the recommendations in the Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan are organized by the each of the six topic areas (or E’s) below: Engineering Engineering recommendations focus on “on-the-ground” improvements - including the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure or facilities - like roads, sidewalks, bikeways, intersection treatments, signage, and end-of-trip facilities. Education Education programs share information about how to access and use existing facilities and amenities, about the rules of the road, and about benefits associated with walking and biking investments. Education initiatives include network maps, pedestrian and bicycle safety trainings, and educational campaigns, among others. Encouragement Encouragement programs inspire more people to try walking or biking through fun and inviting activities including friendly competitions, incentive programs, inclusive group rides, and community-wide events like Open Streets. 2 3 1 51Framework 5 Enforcement Enforcement programs often include participation from local law enforcement with a focus on enforcing traffic safety laws like speed limits, parking regulations, and safe roadway behavior from all users. Evaluation Evaluation programs measure the success of investments at achieving desired outcomes. Evaluation takes place before and after programming and infrastructure improvements to establish a baseline and measure progress overtime. Examples of performance measures that may be evaluated include public perception, behavioral changes and modal shifts, and network safety. Equity Equity focuses on distributing facility and programming improvements fairly throughout a community to ensure that residents of all neighborhoods and population groups have equal access to high quality facilities and programs. Equity includes intentional efforts for engaging specific diverse populations, and implementation of infrastructure and programs throughout a community to overcome economic, geographic, social, and physical barriers to walking and biking. Framework for recommendations 4 6 52 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 5 Engineering 53Recommendations Engineering recommendations focus on “on-the-ground” improvements - including the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure or facilities - like roads, sidewalks, bikeways, intersection treatments, signage, and end-of-trip facilities. 5.1 Approach and overview 5.2 Framework for the city’s walk / bike network 5.3 Pedestrian network recommendations 5.4 Bicycle network recommendations 5.5 Transit integration, bikeshare, and mobility hubs 5.6 Wayfinding 5.7 Facility maintenance 5.8 Bicycle parking 5.9 Policy recommendations 1 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 54 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.1 Approach and overview An incremental approach Edina has many assets for walking and biking in place today. The goal of recommendations in this chapter is to address gaps in the network, increase user comfort for existing and future facilities, and provide a supportive framework for maintaining current assets and for future planning and policy actions that will increase walking and biking in the city. One key component of the plan’s approach for future improvement is to identify smaller, incremental steps that can be quickly implemented and tested and prepare the foundation for future, permanent improvements. Recommendations are based on network analysis, site visits, best practices, and engagement with the Project Management Team and the general public. Please note: Additional investigation and design for each specific project must be completed by a licensed engineer prior to implementation. Goals for ENGINEERING recommendations Improve routes, facilities, policies and practices to: • Fill gaps in the existing network • Address the concerns of Edina residents who currently walk or bike in the city • Attract new users by developing a safe, comfortable, and inviting network • Provide connections to important destinations including schools, neighborhood parks, commercial areas, employment, transit, and regional corridors • Efficiently and cost-effectively maintain the city’s facility investments • Support new models for sustainable, efficient and healthy mobility, and provide supportive policy and planning recommendations 55Recommendations An All Ages and Abilities Network Guidance from Edina residents was very clear: connecting to schools, parks and neighborhoods with safe and comfortable facilities is a key priority. This plan follows that guidance to propose a “Twin Loops” framework connecting key assets in the city through a high-comfort, high-amenity walk / bike system. The Inner Loop provides a high quality connection tying all four city quadrants and within close proximity of Edina schools and community destinations. The Outer Loop, first identified in the 2015 Edina Strategic Park Plan, provides high- quality connections to Edina parks, regional destinations, and adjoining communities. Together with the new Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail, these Twin Loops form the “backbone” of Edina’s walk / bike network and organize a secondary network of pedestrian and bicycle routes connecting to neighborhoods throughout the city. 5.2 Framework for the city’s walk / bike network 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es Edina’s Twin Loops, with Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail 56 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan What could it look like? Indianapolis Cultural Trail. Indianapolis Cultural Trail. Edina Promenade. University of Minnesota Transitway. 57Recommendations A brief introduction to pedestrian and bicycle facilities Numerous types of facilities and treatments exist for addressing the needs of people walking and biking in our cities. Four facility types are discussed here as they make up the majority of facilities recommended in this plan. Please note that a “Toolbox of Pedestrian and Bicycle Treatments and Best Practices” detailing all facilities with potential application in Edina is included in this Plan’s Appendix. Sidewalks Applicability: Pedestrian network Sidewalks are paved concrete or asphalt paths designed for pedestrian use. A well-connected sidewalk network is the foundation of pedestrian accessibility, with the quality of connections between sidewalks (across roadways) determining the overall usefulness of the walkways provided. High quality sidewalks provide level and unbroken surfaces, ADA-compliant curb ramps, and comfortable separation from motor vehicle traffic. Trees and plantings, and additional facilities like benches, waste receptacles, and public art provide additional user comfort and interest. Shared-use paths Applicability: Pedestrian and bicycle networks A shared-use path (SUP, often also known as trail) provides a shared space for people walking and biking that is separate from motor vehicle traffic. Shared-use paths work better when they include fewer intersections with motorized traffic. Shared-use paths are often provided along busier roadways when on-street bicycle facilities are not feasible, and at locations along streams and railroads, and through parks. SUPs provide increased separation from motor vehicle traffic, and are also used at parks and natural assets to provide more scenic routes. Striping of shared-use paths helps to clarify passing lanes, and identify separate lanes for people walking or biking in high use areas. 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es Sidewalk in a mixed-use district The Edina Promenade is a shared-use path. 58 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Neighborhood Slow Streets Applicability: Bicycle network Neighborhood Slow Streets (also sometimes known as Neighborhood Greenways or Bike Boulevards) are residential streets that are lightly modified to calm motor-vehicle traffic and prioritize bicycle travel. They can include some or several types of traffic-calming elements: bump-outs, traffic circles, speed tables, or others. Neighborhood Slow Streets make walking and biking easier and safer by reducing motor-vehicle speeds and by improving safety for users of all modes. Route signage, pavement markings, and stop sign orientation can help highlight the street as a bikeway. Bicycle lanes Applicability: Bicycle network Bicycle lanes designate a portion of the roadway for preferential use by bicycle riders. Lanes are defined by striping, pavement markings and signage. Bike lanes separate bicyclist and motorist travel flows and increase bicycle rider and driver comfort. Three types of bicycle lane facilities are recommended for consideration in Edina: »Separated or protected bicycle lanes »Buffered bicycle lanes »Conventional bicycle lanes Traffic circle at a neighborhood intersection helps calm through traffic and make conditions better for people walking and biking. Separated / protected bicycle lanes can be quickly and inexpensively deployed using plastic bollards and paint. Image: the Saint Paul Grand Round. 59Recommendations 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es Separated / protected bicycle lane Separated / protected bike lanes are on- street facilities that offer a designated space for bicycles and that are separated from motor-vehicle travel lanes by a buffer distance and by vertical elements like bollards, planters, or concrete walls. This type of facility offers the highest level of traffic separation and user comfort, and invites greater use of bicycling by a wider range of the population. This is the type of facility that is generally recommended for Edina’s on-street bicycle network. Buffered bicycle lane Buffered bike lanes are on-street facilities that offer a designated space for bicycles and that are separated from motor-vehicle travel lanes by a buffer distance. When provided next to on-street parking, they sometimes also include a buffer space between the bicycle lane and parked cars. This is the minimum type of facility that is required in order to create conditions that attract members of the “interested but concerned” population into biking. Conventional bicycle lane Conventional bicycle lanes are on-street facilities that offer a designated space for bicycles and that are adjacent to motor- vehicle travel lanes. 60 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.3 Pedestrian network recommendations Recommendations for Edina’s pedestrian network respond to these two priorities: »Address safety and user-comfort issues at priority intersections identified through analysis, community engagement and consultation with Edina staff »Identify a pedestrian network that incorporates and responds to the facilities included in the following adopted city planning policies and documents »2014 Sidewalk Facilities Map and Pedestrian Facilities Comprehensive Plan Amendment, »2015 Living Streets Plan »2013 Active (Safe) Routes to School (SRTS / ARTS) Comprehensive Plan »Analysis, community engagement and consultation with Edina staff The goal is to support the continued development of a well-connected, dense, and equitably distributed network of sidewalks and shared-use paths providing safe and comfortable crossings and connections to everyday destinations.

Additional recommendations for walkability 65Recommendations Facility Type Sidewalk furnishings • Consider street trees, vegetative buffers, and street furnishings to control stormwater and provide shade. • Accommodate necessary utility infrastructure. • Provide for facilities that enhance the pedestrian environment including pedestrian-scaled lighting, public art, wayfinding, vegetation, and others. • Accommodate commercial activities that invite walking and add activity and interest to the area. Pedestrian crossing signals • Continue updating pedestrian crossing signals to countdowns until all units have been converted. • Include user-activated technologies for traffic control including Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFB), Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB or HAWK), and others. • Consider implementation of Leading Pedestrian Intervals. • Ensure that clearance intervals are properly timed. Driveways • Limit the width, number, and location of driveways through consolidation and other means. Requirements for sidewalks in new and existing developments Consider modifying the City Sidewalk Policy to: • Allow greater flexibility in implementation • Include goal of providing sidewalks on at least one side of local streets including new development and retrofits on existing streets, including dead-ends that provide cut-throughs or park/trail connections. 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 66 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.4 Bicycle network recommendations The recommended Edina bicycle network builds on existing investments to provide a dense and equitably distributed network of All Ages and Abilities on- and off-street bicycle facilities that includes: »Implementation of the Edina Twin Loops and expansion of the city’s shared-use path network »Upgrading of existing on-street routes and facilities to high user-comfort facilities »Improved connections to schools, parks, commercial areas, higher-density housing, and transit corridors to facilitate bicycle travel within neighborhoods and throughout the city.

Bicycle parking • Continue managing and communicating the ongoing “Request-a-Rack” program. • Adopt bicycle parking requirements for new development, and install bicycle parking at existing destinations including commercial and employment centers, recreational areas, schools, and other community destinations where people may arrive by bike. • Work with Metro Transit to provide secure, short- and long-term parking at major transit hubs including Park & Ride lots. • Consider working with adjoining jurisdictions hosting nearby Southwest LRT stations (five stations are within a mile of Edina) to provide secure, short- and long-term parking at SWLRT stations and Park & Ride lots. • Adopt and follow Hennepin County’s bicycle parking guidelines: http://www.hennepin.us/~/media/hennepinus/ residents/transportation/bike/bikeplan/Appendix%20F%20%20Bicycle%20Parking%20GuidelinesFINAL.pdf • More information about bicycle parking is provided in Appendix A. Rest stops • Establish guidelines for installation of rest stop facilities including benches, water refill stations, short-term parking, bicycle maintenance stations, trash and recycling, and restrooms. 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 70 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.5 The new mobility: Transit integration, bikeshare, and mobility hubs The new mobility (also known as “shared-use mobility”) is a term used to describe an approach to transportation that decreases the need for private automobile ownership by providing access to convenient and comfortable transportation options that are shared among users, including public transit, bikeshare, carshare, carpools, taxis and app-based ride-hailing services, shuttles and more. Successful approaches require the integration of several systems: convenient mass transit, ridesharing services and shared bike fleets, integrated mobile apps, compact and efficient land use, and supportive walk / bike networks that, taken together, offer new options for people to get around. Edina’s potential for the New Mobility Edina has great potential for capitalizing on these trends and offering a new way for residents and visitors to connect to destinations in and around the city. Edina’s transportation goals include reducing trips by car, reducing congestion, and reducing the need for parking while improving community health, commerce, and the environment. New Mobility approaches can help reduce trips by car to the point where fewer cars are needed overall - for example, helping a three-car household become a two-car household, or helping a two-car household become a one-car household. Tightly focusing shared-use mobility hubs and services and excellent walk / bike access to serve destination-rich neighborhood nodes (places that provide a mix of businesses like a grocery store, gym, coffee shop, restaurant, hair salon, etc.) can help kick-start the New Mobility in Edina while also supporting the development of denser housing and mixed-use buildings in specific districts of the city (what the 2018 Comprehensive Plan refers to as a “Nodes and Modes” approach). This approach can help increase the efficient use of land in these districts while increasing convenient access to a range of transportation options for people living in those districts and in nearby traditional single-family neighborhoods. 71Recommendations Bikesharing Bikesharing is a resounding success in our region. Nice Ride, the Twin Cities’ bikeshare system, has been in operation since 2010 and has a fleet of almost 200 bikeshare stations and more than 2,000 bikes providing service in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. And now is a great time to plan for the future of bikeshare in Edina - bikeshare in the Twin Cities is about to undergo a tremendous change as stationless bikeshare comes into the Twin Cities starting in 2018. Bikes will be interchangeable between the current station-based and the soon-to-be-introduced stationless systems, with stations outside of the urban core being well-suited for providing focused locations where bikes can be found and accessed. The change, which will increase the total number of bikes in the Twin Cities by literally thousands, will prompt an entire rethinking of how bikeshare is provided in the urban core (which will likely be mostly stationless bikes) and in new areas in surrounding communities like Edina (which will be well-suited to host the station-based system to concentrate bicycles near the city’s future mobility hubs). High activity areas such as 50th and France, Grandview, the Southdale area, and major recreational and trail locations (Braemer Park, Bredesen Park, and Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail) will be ideal for initial deployment of the system. There are two key considerations to keep in mind as the city moves forward toward implementation of bikeshare in Edina: »To maximize convenience for Edina residents and increase opportunity for success of the city’s system, it will be key to make sure that bikeshare memberships for Edina’s system are compatible with the larger regional system, and, »The city’s All Ages and Abilities network must be in place at deployment locations before the system is deployed there as bikeshare works best when it allows for comfortable and casual use by members of the general adult population (the “interested but concerned” population) - this is why trail and park locations might be especially useful locations to start deployment. 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 72 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Transit is a key component of the New Mobility. Fortunately, Edina’s proactive pedestrian and bicycle planning approach offers great opportunity for improving access to transit, as nearly every transit trip will include a walking trip at the beginning, end, or both - while improving bicycle access to transit stops and stations greatly increases the number of people within transit catchment areas. Integrating walking and biking with transit Improving pedestrian and bicycle connections to transit can play an important role in making these modes part of daily life for more Edina residents. Easy and convenient linkages to transit will help increase the total number of trips made by walking or biking by increasing the number of destinations available, and by allowing pedestrians and bicycle riders to reach more distant destinations. Southdale Transit Center The Southdale Transit Center, located near York Avenue and West 66th Street, is one of our region’s busiest, and an incipient mobility hub. Providing covered waiting shelters with on-demand heat, 70 surface Park & Ride spaces, electric-vehicle charging stations, and real-time departure information, this location will become even more important component of Edina’s shared mobility landscape as pedestrian and bicycle access in the city (and connection to bikeshare and new mobility options) grows. Transit integration 73Recommendations Connecting bicycles with transit There are four main components of bicycle-transit integration: »Allowing bicycles on transit »Offering bicycle parking at transit locations »Improving bikeways to transit »Encouraging use of bicycle and transit programs Bikes on transit Allowing bikes on transit extends the distance that a bicycle rider may comfortably reach. Metro Transit has greatly strengthened the interconnection between biking and transit in the Twin Cities region by providing space for bikes on all of its buses and trains. On buses, this takes the from of a pull-down rack on the front of the bus. On the Metro Transit LRT trains, each train car has designated space for several bikes. Supporting public education campaigns to let potential riders know about these options and how to use them is a key way to grow use of these options. Bike parking at transit Providing bicycle parking at transit stations helps reassure bike commuters that their bikes will still be there when they return from work, and will encourage bike commuting to transit. 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 74 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Well-designed wayfinding is an essential way to make the pedestrian and bicycle network more inviting and enjoyable. Wayfinding signage should be appropriately sized and designed on the human scale, provide distances to destinations when possible, and be continuously maintained and updated. Pedestrian and bicycle wayfinding signs should complement each other. A well- connected wayfinding network will help users identify the easiest routes to their destinations. Efforts to implement wayfinding should begin on the Edina Inner and Outer Loops and expand to connect networks in the long-term. Route destinations should not just include places of interest in Edina, but destinations in neighboring cities and networks as well. Some wayfinding tools include: signage, pavement markings, maps, and online trip planning tools. Ensuring information is easy to find and understand for people of all ages and abilities will ensure that a wide range of people have access to the benefits of walking and biking for more of their trips. Some ways to make wayfinding accessible to all are: Develop a robust and consistent wayfinding system Develop an on-the-ground wayfinding system including signs and pavement markings to help people navigate the existing network. Update signage as needed to reflect new destinations and newly implemented facilities. Include wayfinding signs as a component of all projects. Print and distribute route maps Provide network and route maps that are accessible for all, including people who do not speak English as a primary language and those who may require larger text. Include safety tips, information about different facility types, and bicycle traffic laws. Continue to make GIS data publicly available Publish pedestrian and bicycle related data including planned projects, construction information, pedestrian and bicycle detours, and collision information to keep the public informed, and to allow for development of third party applications. Additional guidance for wayfinding can be found in Appendix A. 5.6 Wayfinding 75Recommendations Maintenance of pedestrian and bicycle facilities includes two key, related activities: »Upkeep and repair of the physical condition of the facilities so they continue in service in their intended condition (e.g., repainting crosswalks to maintain visibility, or patching trail surfaces), and, »Ensuring that environmental, climatic, and other factors don’t hinder access to the facilities or to their intended functioning (e.g., removing snow from priority pedestrian corridors). Proactive and effective maintenance of pedestrian and bicycle facilities is a key practice for successful pedestrian and bicycle systems, and a major contributor to the development of safe, comfortable and inviting non-motorized networks that grow walking and biking. Why it’s important Providing an adequate level of maintenance to walking and biking facilities: »Protects the investments made by the city and its partners and helps ensure that they continue to serve the needs of residents and visitors well into the future »Reduces hazards, improves user visibility and safety, and invites greater use of facilities »Improves reliable, year-round connectivity for users of non- motorized modes User needs People walking, especially people who use mobility devices like walkers and wheelchairs, depend on level, slip-resistant surfaces for their travel. Walking surfaces that are free from unexpected bumps, holes or cracks, ice, or other slippery materials are paramount for people’s safety and comfort. Surfaces that are adequate for people driving can be hazardous for people walking or biking: gravel can deflect a bicycle wheel; a crack in the pavement or an incorrectly-oriented utility grate can trap a bicycle wheel or trip walkers; wet leaves, ice, and gravel in walkways and bikeways can result in a fall, limit mobility for people using mobility devices, create unfriendly conditions, and reduce system use. People walking and biking also depend on motorists’ ability to anticipate 5.7 Facility maintenance Edina crews repairing pavement markings near Edina High School. 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 76 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and respond to their presence when crossing streets - visible and working signs, pavement markings and sign and signals help improve their safety. General considerations Maintenance budget Preventive maintenance reduces hazards and future repair costs. Maintenance costs and responsibility for maintenance should be assigned when projects are planned and budgets developed. As with roadways, typical annual maintenance costs for walk / bike facilities range from 3 to 5 percent of infrastructure replacement costs - for example, a $100,000 facility should include a $5,000 annual maintenance budget. Life-cycle cost analysis is recommended to determine the net value of using longer-lasting, higher-quality materials during construction if they reduce yearly maintenance expenditures. Management plans A management plan is a tool to identify maintenance needs and responsible parties. A management plan that includes the maintenance component for a proposed facility should be in place before construction. Additionally, a management plan should include a means for users of the system to report maintenance and related issues and to promptly address them. A facility’s management plan answers basic operational and staffing questions such as frequency of maintenance tasks and which parties or departments are responsible for addressing issues. Edina’s proactive maintenance approach The City of Edina has developed several innovative approaches for prioritizing maintenance of pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Current practices include: • Dedicated resources (from the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund) toward maintenance of non-motorized facilities »New funding has allowed migration to more durable thermoplastic materials for pavement markings (previously, had to repaint about one thousand crosswalks every year, with some locations requiring two or more applications) • Prioritization for a selection of pedestrian and bicycle routes for winter maintenance »Non-motorized facilities are addressed at the same time as motorized routes (rather than after) »Currently, a total of five snow plow routes (for 55 miles total) are dedicated to sidewalks only • Considerations for the future include: »How to maintain staffing and equipment capacity to meet level of service and resident expectations »How to develop capacity to address new residential developments or new sidewalks added to the city’s inventory »How to continue to sustainably fund proactive maintenance of non-motorized network 77Recommendations User-initiated maintenance requests Users of Edina’s pedestrian and bicycle network will often be the first to notice hazards, maintenance issues, and opportunities to improve the system. A formal mechanism for receiving requests for maintenance can help focus and prioritize investments, avert deterioration of the city’s infrastructure investments, provide effective management, and reinforce resident- ownership of Edina’s non-motorized network assets. The City of Edina currently uses the “Edina To Go” application for user-initiated maintenance requests. Continuing to use this tool, and developing a supportive public marketing campaign will help increase public awareness and use of the tool. Management plans for pedestrian and bicycle facilities have significant overlap with management plans for a city’s other transportation assets. Some of the issues typically addressed include: »Filling potholes »Removing downed or dangerous trees »Responding to vandalism and trespassing »Removing litter »Replacing stolen or damaged signs »Watering and weeding landscaping »Protocols for communication »Coverage of expenses Maintenance request screen print of “Edina To Go” 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 78 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Routine maintenance Street sweeping Loose gravel, sand, leaves, and other debris on the surface of bicycle lanes, paved shoulders, and paved sections of shared use paths should be removed at minimum once per year. It should be noted that as part of its proactive maintenance efforts, Edina currently completes two street sweeping operations per year. Sweeping is an important activity for usability of on-road bicycle infrastructure (bike lanes, separated bike lanes, and others) as debris will tend to accumulate on bicycle lanes as automobile traffic will sweep these materials from the automobile portions of the roadway. This is especially true for bicycle lanes that are located directly adjacent to a curb, where debris collects already. Markings Signs and pavement markings are important features of walkways, bikeways and roadways, and help ensure continued safe and convenient use of these facilities. It is essential that walkway and bikeway signs, striping, and legends be kept in a readable condition. Some recommendations to address these infrastructure elements include: »Regular inspection of walkway and bikeway signs and legends, including an inventory of signs to account for missing or damaged signs; »Prompt replacement of defective or obsolete signs; »Regular inspection of striping, and prompt reapplication as needed. Bike lanes may require annual re-striping if located on higher- volume streets; and »Consider durable cold plastic for skip-striping bike lanes across right turn lanes. Vegetation Vegetation encroaching into and under a sidewalk, shared-use path, or trail crossing can create a nuisance and a hazard for people walking (especially for those with sight or mobility impairments) and biking. To provide long-term control of vegetation, its management should be considered during design and construction of facilities. Vegetation management helps to maintain smooth pavement surface, as well as clear zones, sightlines, and sight corners to promote pedestrian and bicyclist safety. City maintenance staff are generally responsible for vegetation management and should inspect the trail system monthly during the growing season. Regular seasonal maintenance activities should include mowing of turf areas within the trail right of way, annual trimming of vegetation, weed control, raingarden maintenance and sweeping and blowing of vegetation and turf debris from the trail surface and root cutting as needed. Vegetation management issues identified by users (e.g. tree roots causing heaving of sidewalk surfaces, encroachment and maintenance issues) will likely be reported through the user-initiated maintenance request program. 79Recommendations Winter maintenance Snow and ice removal Snow removal is a critical component of pedestrian and bicycle safety. The presence of snow or ice on sidewalks, curb ramps, or bikeways will deter pedestrian and cyclist use of those facilities to a much higher extent than cold temperature alone. Seniors and persons with mobility issues will avoid walking in locations where ice or snow accumulation creates slippery conditions that may cause a fall. Curb ramps that are blocked by ice or snow effectively sever access to pedestrian facilities for wheelchair users and seniors. Additionally, inadequately maintained facilities may force people walking or biking to take a route that is unsafe or inconvenient - e.g., forcing pedestrians and bicyclists into the roadway or motor-vehicle lanes. When the surface of a road is covered by snow, the pavement markings that guide and warn people walking, biking, or driving may be difficult to see. Clearing snow from the entire roadway surface will help keep pavement markings identifiable, and will provide space so people walking and biking can comfortably travel as far to the right as possible. Walking and bicycling generally decrease during the cold winter months as slippery infrastructure and unpleasant weather conditions create barriers for pedestrians and bicyclists. However, continuing infrastructure maintenance can facilitate the convenience of walking and biking as well as provide new opportunities to encourage more people to be outside more often. Pedestrian and bicycle routes currently maintained by the City of Edina. Five snow plow routes, totaling 55 miles, are used to clear sidewalks and trails following snow events. Edina Winter Network Pedestrian and bicycle facilities currently maintained by the city. 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 80 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Visible, secure bicycle parking is essential for making bicycling a viable option for transportation purposes. Most people will simply not bike to locations where parking isn’t available. Others will improvise by locking bikes to anything that seems secure. Attempts to lock to ‘anything that doesn’t move’ can result in damage to fixtures including light posts and railings, and can also cause hazards to people walking. Short-term bicycle parking Short-term parking accommodates visitors, customers, employees, and others who arrive at a destinations with the intention of leaving within a few hours. Standard inverted-U racks, securely anchored and placed near primary entries are recommended. Short- term parking is recommended for Edina’s neighborhood parks, schools, transit stations, employment centers, and commercial areas. Long-term bicycle parking Long-term parking accommodates employees, students, residents, commuters, and multi-modal travelers. Long-term parking should be secure, weather-protected, and in a visible and convenient location. Long-term parking may be provided using inverted-U 5.8 Bicycle parking racks in a secure and supervised area, or by bicycle lockers, bike stations, or bike rooms long-term parking should be provided at schools, major transit hubs, and office areas. Placement and function Parking areas should be visible and prominent, located near a building’s main entry, and located clearly and conveniently along a bicycle riders’ natural path to access a site. All of Edina’s schools should have secure bike parking available for students. Parks and recreational spaces such as Rosland Park, Pamela Park, Lewis Park, etc. that house sporting events. Parks such as Alden Park, Arden Park, Bredesen Park, and Todd Park have bicycle trails available at their parks and should provide bicycle parking. Large commercial centers like Southdale Mall and the Galleria Mall should have ample bicycle parking available for mall visitors and employees. Small commercial centers such as Southdale Square, Edina Crossings, Yorktown Mall, etc. should also have bicycle parking nodes every located every few businesses for both visitors and employees. EXPANDING BICYCLE PARKING OPTIONS IN EDINA Compared to other infrastructure-related improvements, bicycle parking is a relatively quick and inexpensive way to make bicycling easier. There are several steps the city can take to better accommodate bicycle riders’ parking needs: • Develop bicycle parking guidelines for straightforward installation. • Establish a policy for including bicycle parking as part of new development and installing it at existing destinations. • Expand communications regarding the city’s existing “Request-a-Rack” program to add bicycle parking at local businesses. Additional resources are provided in Appendix A 81Recommendations Considering and implementing a range of policy changes can create a lasting framework for facilitating walking and biking improvements in Edina. Adopt a Transit-Oriented Development Ordinance Commercial, employment, and transit areas are, and will continue to be, important destinations for daily trips in Edina. In anticipation of the METRO Green Line Extension, the city may explore opportunities to adopt Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) policies to help guide future development near planned Green Line stations. Station area planning is currently underway as part of the METRO Green Line Extension planning process. Developing a city wide TOD policy would provide guidance for longterm development near station areas. TOD guidelines provide standards for the development of attractive, compact, walkable, mixed-use centers near transit stations to create live/work/play areas that provide easy access to regional transit connections. An ordinance could regulate building orientation and design, provision of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and parking, and establish measures to accommodate motor vehicles and parking in a way that minimally impedes pedestrian and bicycle mobility. This includes traffic calming measures, provision of separated walking and biking facilities, landscaping, and other strategies to facilitate walking and biking enjoyment, comfort, access, and circulation. 5.9 Policy recommendations 1Recommendations: Engineering / 6Es 82 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 6 Education 83Recommendations Education programs share information about how to access and use existing facilities and amenities, about the rules of the road, and about benefits associated with walking and biking investments. Education initiatives include network maps, pedestrian and bicycle safety trainings, and educational campaigns, among others. 6.1 Active routes to school (ARTS) in Edina 6.2 Other education campaigns 1 1Recommendations: Education / 6Es 84 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 6.1 Active Routes to school (ARTS) in Edina The Problem Fewer students walk or bike to school today than in the past. Some reasons for the downward trend include traffic speeds and volumes along routes, low availability of sidewalks and sidepaths, and changes in school siting methods that result in more students living farther away from school. In 2014, 16% of Edina students live within a 15-minute walk from their school. According to the 2014 Edina Active Routes to School Plan, only 8% of students in Edina reported walking to school and 3% of students reported biking to school. The top concern mentioned in parent surveys was a lack of sidewalks or biking paths around schools. The ARTS Programs In 2014, the City of Edina completed an Active Routes to School (ARTS) plan to improve infrastructure and programming within the city and increase the number of students using Active Transportation to get to school. Improvements and programs were numerous and varied. Many of these improvements in infrastructure and programming have already been implemented with the help of the Public Works Department and the Edina School District. Fewer students walk or bike More parents drive children to school Increased traffic congestion around schools Rising safety concerns Active Routes to School (ARTS) is a positive response to a negative cycle in which fewer students walk or bike to school as a result of land use and transportation patterns. 85Recommendations Infrastructure In 2014, The Active Routes to School plan identified 3.3 miles of sidewalk to be built to create safer and more efficient connections to neighborhood schools. As of 2017, 1.4 miles of these suggested routes have been constructed. These sidewalks have been implemented along Interlachen Avenue, Valley View Road, Cornelia Drive, and Oaklawn Avenue. Programming The Edina School District has identified short-term (0-2 years) and long-term (3-5 years) programming to help increase the number of students walking and biking to school. Short-term Programming Short term improvements include increasing the functionality and number of bike parking spaces at schools, participating in walking and biking activity days, creating a walking and biking section on the school website, and incorporating walking and biking into school wellness policies and physical education classes. Long-term Programming Some of the long-term goals the City has started incorporating as a result of the ARTS plan include improving school site to better accommodate walking and bicycling, narrowing the school driveways to slow automobile traffic, continuing to improve bicycle parking as funds and needs arise, and to implement more Open Streets type initiatives to get the community excited about walking and biking in Edina. Walking and biking to school provides opportunities for students to build physical activity into their day. Walking school buses or bike trains also turn traveling to and from school into social events. 1Recommendations: Education / 6Es 86 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 6.2 Other education campaigns Increasing walking and bicycling in Edina will require physical improvements (filling sidewalk gaps, building trails, implementing an on-street network, etc.) along with implementation of programming strategies including education, encouragement, policy changes, and facility maintenance. Education and encouragement programs promote increased walking and biking by educating roadway users on safe interactions, incentivizing walking and biking trips, and spreading awareness and support for non-motorized transportation options. Network maps People won’t use a walking or biking network if they are unaware of its existence, or if they don’t know how it may help them reach their desired destinations. Printing and distributing bikeway maps is a high-benefit, low-cost way to promote walking and biking by helping people identify route choices. Network maps can also be used to promote the city’s local businesses and festivals. Map inserts can provide information covering rules of the road, bicycle safety and maintenance, and connecting with mass transit. Another low-cost and potentially helpful tool is integrating web-based trip planner services (like Google Maps or Cyclopath) into the city’s website or events pages. Walking and bicycling route and parking information can also be prioritized when providing directions to city events to encourage more people to arrive on foot or by bike. Media Campaign Edina should partner with other cities and bicycle advocacy groups to develop regional campaigns that encourage a mutual respect among all road users and encourage active transportation for residents, employees, and visitors. The Edina Street Smarts Campaign is a good example of this. Safety education People driving, walking, and biking all contribute to making all modes safer and more effective: one of the leading causes of crashes is the unexpected behavior of at least one of the parties involved. Safety programs for all roadway users have been shown to be an effective and cost-efficient way of reducing the risk of crashes and injuries while encouraging people to walk or bike more often. It is important to balance targeted safety campaigns like helmet and bike light promotion with comprehensive safety education that addresses the rules of the road and the individual rights of all sidewalk, trail, and roadway users. Safety education approaches are outlined for each of the following user groups: »Children learning the rules of the road; »Teens and adults walking and biking; and »Motorists interacting with people walking and biking. For children Share information on safe walking and bicycling at an early age on to teach important safety skills and reinforce the message that walking and bicycling are enjoyable, useful means of transportation United States schools commonly provide automobile driver education for children 15 or older, children and teens rarely receive formal safety training for walking or riding a bike. In European countries where the mode split for bicycling is much higher, schools typically provide formal training in safe bicycling starting in elementary school. In the Netherlands, children undergo an annual three-week training on bicycling rules and 87Recommendations STRATEGIES FOR EDUCATION PROGRAMMING • Educate the public about walking and bicycling as sustainable modes of transportation that save money, promote healthy living, and reduce emissions and traffic congestion. • Develop activities and events to overcome barriers to walking and biking. • Support programs to encourage employers to support walking and biking as viable transportation options. • Provide tools for residents and visitors to easily report issues or concerns. • Partner with community organizations and local businesses to promote and participate in education programs. • Work with partners to expand drivers education and coursework about the rights and responsibilities of all road users. maneuvers. Similar training may be provided in Edina, potentially as a partnership between the city and school districts. The city may also include more walking and biking safety instruction in the annual summer Safety Camp. Children are most receptive to new ideas when action-oriented teaching and repetition are combined with rewards and incentives. Rewards and incentives may include certificates of completion or bicycle/ pedestrian licenses, free or reduced-cost bicycle helmets and accessories, or discount coupons for area bicycle shops. For teens and adults Teens and adults range in bicycling skills and confidence. Some are comfortable riding on busy streets and mixing with traffic while others prefer quieter streets or separated trails. There are adults who ride only a few times a year and those who ride often but primarily for recreation. Each type of rider has their own concerns and philosophy about how bicycles fit into the transportation system. Education efforts must recognize this and tailor messages to each group. In addition, it is important to educate teens and new drivers about the rights of bibicycle riders, and how to safely interact with people walking and bicycling while operating a motor vehicle. Highlighting pedestrian and bicycle education in drivers’ education courses, and featuring related questions on license exams reinforce the idea that roadways are shared spaces, and remind new drivers how to safely interact with other roadway users, whether walking, biking, or driving. Courses on winter walking and biking can be offered through Edina Community Education or other community run programming. Events like “Winter Bike to Work Day or a winter bicycle festival can also be implemented to encourage winter biking. For people driving The goal in educating motorists is to foster a broad and general public awareness and respect for people walking and bicycling. All people who drive are also pedestrians, and many already ride a bike at least on occasion. Bicycle route signs and markings are helpful to people biking and driving because they remind people driving that people biking may be present in the roadway. Bus drivers should also go through training programs to ensure that drivers know about laws related to walking and bicycling and understand safe vehicle operation around pedestrians and bicyclists. Metro Transit should continue to train their bus drivers about how to safety 1Recommendations: Education / 6Es 88 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 7 Encouragement 89Recommendations Encouragement programs inspire more people to try walking or biking through fun and inviting activities including friendly competitions, incentive programs, inclusive group rides, and community-wide events like Open Streets. 7.1 Open streets and community events 7.2 Travel demand management 7.3 Environmental stewardship 1 1Recommendations: Encouragement / 6Es 90 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Community-wide walking and biking events Special events offer an opportunity to bring attention to practical, fun, and healthy aspects of walking and riding a bike as tools for transportation, recreation, and health. Because these events are community-wide and of limited duration, people are more open to participating without feeling like they have to commit to making a long-term change in their travel or recreation habits – but sometimes that’s all that is needed to open the door to adopting new travel behaviors over the long term. Open Streets in Edina Edina has offered Open Street events for the past three years. They have taken place in the 50th Street and France Avenue area. Continuing to host Open Streets will help invite new residents into walking and biking in the city. Other potential events and programs include: »Monthly group rides with the Edina City Council, the Mayor or other local personalities; »Parks and recreation programs that work with non-profit or bicycling advocacy groups to sponsor bicycling events and activities, especially on trails and regional bicycling routes; and »Participate in walk/bike weeks. These types of events, including Walk/Bike to Work Week, often include special publicity, route guidance, group events, and pit stops for participants, and provide a fun and inviting opportunity for people to try walking or biking in their community. 7.1 Open Streets and community events Open Streets create fun. interactive community events and encourage more residents to experience the benefits of walking and biking. 91Recommendations Rider incentive and TDM programs Increased use of walking and biking can help achieve Transportation Demand Management (TDM) objectives for workplaces and communities while improving community health and supporting local economic development. Several types of incentive programs are in use in communities throughout the United States. Some of the most popular programs include: »Bike Friendly Businesses: Developing a “Bicycle Friendly Business” program supports local businesses by marketing participating businesses and showing support for bicycling in a community. Bicycle Friendly Businesses offer discounts to customers who arrive by bicycle. The participating businesses gain exposure through their efforts and create a greater sense of community in their neighborhood. »Parking Cash-Out Benefits: employers can offer parking cash-out benefits, which give employees who don’t drive the cash equivalent of the parking subsidies provided to drivers. These programs help address parking and congestion issues that sometimes hinder successful commercial areas. These programs help address parking and congestion issues that sometimes hinder successful commercial areas. Other Encouragement Initiatives »Neighborhood Programming: should encourage active transportation through walking and biking kits, coupons to local businesses, educational newsletters, and City events. Programming would encourage Edina residents and employees to find a safe route to school, work, and important destinations without using a car. »Park(ing) Day: event held around the world where neighborhood residents, business owners, and local artists collaborate to transform existing on- street parking spaces into little parklets as temporary public space for the day. 7.2 Travel demand management 1Recommendations: Encouragement / 6Es 92 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 93Recommendations 7.3 Environmental stewardship Improving air quality and reducing carbon emissions Increased use of walking and biking helps reduce tailpipe emissions, which improves air quality and reduces Edina’s contribution to climate change. Acknowledging this important contribution to the city’s overall sustainability, and presenting walking, biking, and other city sustainability initiatives as having positive impacts on air quality, sustainability and resiliency can build excitement and incentivize the broader community to not only try but also to track their pedestrian and biking actions: Potential events and programs include: »Plan sustainability events in a way that is walk and bike friendly. Have meetup spots to assist transit riders or bikers who are new to commuting to connect with experienced commuters who can share routes and tips so they can arrive using sustainable modes to events »Provide incentives or giveaways at events for participants who walked or biked »Consider implementing a pedestrian or bicycle component within environmental events; like a family-friendly bike rodeo at an Earth Day event. »Support use of apps like PiPs or Oroeco that track and reward walking and biking. 1Recommendations: Encouragement / 6Es 94 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 8 Enforcement 95Recommendations Enforcement programs often include participation from local law enforcement with a focus on enforcing traffic safety laws like speed limits, parking regulations, and safe roadway behavior from all users. 8.1 Enforcement and system safety 1 1Recommendations: Enforcement / 6Es 96 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 8.1 Enforcement and system safety People tend to avoid activities that feel dangerous. Providing a network of facilities that not only feel safe, but actually are safe, is essential in promoting and supporting walking and bicycling trips. Safety evaluation A successful pedestrian and bicycle network is safe, comfortable, and convenient to users. Not feeling safe is a common concern among people who are wary of walking, and especially riding a bike, for more of their trips. There are three measures of safety, all of which should be considered when designing facilities and assessing system safety: Actual safety Actual safety can be measured quantitatively by tracking the frequency and severity of collisions involving people walking or biking. What is the actual risk of being involved in a collision as a pedestrian or bicyclist, and how severe will it be? »Track frequency and severity of collisions involving people walking or biking. »Prioritize improvements in areas with high rates of collisions. Perceived safety Also called subjective safety, perceived safety may be influenced by the speed, volume, and proximity of passing vehicles. Is it easy to cross the street? Do you have to bike fast in order to keep up with car traffic? »Provide separation between people driving, walking, and biking. »Take measures to calm traffic along corridors where people walk and bike. »Reduce noise of motor vehicles by using quieter road surfaces. »Enforce speed limits and proper yielding behavior by motorists. »Provide designated pedestrian and bicycle signal phasing at intersections. »Highlight pedestrian and bicycle pathways through intersections with crosswalks, colored paint, lighting, and refuge medians. Social safety Social safety can be tied to public safety issues. Is the route well lit? Does the route feel isolated, or are there “eyes on the street”? Is crime or theft a concern? »Design tunnels so that people can see out of them as they are entered. Avoid blind corners on paths whenever possible. »Install sidepaths that are wide enough to allow users to comfortably pass. Address issues of crime. »Keep facilities clean, and free of litter and graffiti. »Maintain vegetation so that grass, shrubs, and trees do not encroach on walkways or bikeways. »Keep walkways and bikeways well lit at night so that users can easily see obstacles, other people walking and biking, and be easily seen by people driving. Safety measures do not operate in isolation. Addressing one safety issue is likely to improve others. Calming traffic, for example, is likely to improve both perceived and actual safety, as slower moving drivers are more likely to stop for people walking and 97Recommendations Active speed monitors Active speed monitors are permanent devices to keep drivers aware of speeds and remind them of the need to slow down in school zones. Speed monitors are typically displayed below school speed limit signs, and visually display drivers’ speed in real time as they pass. Traffic complaint hotlines Traffic complaint hotlines or non-emergency numbers (311) allow community members to report traffic problems directly to city staff and local police. Comments can be used to identify problem traffic areas with the most frequent complains. Police may then follow up by providing concentrated enforcement in the area as needed. Progressive ticketing Issuing tickets is the strongest enforcement strategy, and is usually reserved for changing unsafe behaviors that other strategies fail to change. Progressive ticketing is a method of introducing ticketing through a three-stage process: educating, warning, and ticketing. biking, and less likely to cause severe injuries in the case of a collision. The city should consider providing an easy way for people walking and biking in Edina to report incidents or areas of concern, and establish a way of monitoring and addressing user conflicts. Safety enforcement methods A variety of law enforcement methods can help change unsafe behaviors, making it easier for people of all ages and abilities to walk and bike in Edina. Regardless of the method used, enforcement methods require consistency and follow-up in order to maintain effectiveness. To measure the effectiveness of an enforcement method, study behaviors before and after efforts. Studies may be as simple as measuring speeds or observing behavior of people driving, walking, and biking. If results are positive, continue with that method of enforcement. If results indicate little improvements in unsafe behavior, another method should be used. Speed trailers Portable speed trailers display drivers’ real-time speeds compared to posted speed limits. Devices may help reduce driver speeds and increase awareness of local speed limits. Speed trailers are most effective when they flash “slow down,” or flash lights that mimic photo speed cameras or police cars when drivers surpass the speed limit. Some trailers have the ability to collect traffic data including vehicle counts and speed information, which can be used to identify times when additional enforcement may be needed. In some cases, back-up enforcement by police officers may be needed to stop and/or ticket individuals who are speeding. 1Recommendations: Enforcement / 6Es Students learning safe winter biking techniques for a school activity. 98 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Educate First, community awareness of the problem must be established. Raising awareness of the issue will change some behaviors and will create public support for follow-up enforcement efforts. Warn Second, warn the public about actions to be taken and why by distributing flyers, posting signs, and sharing information using social and traditional media. Issuing warnings allows police to contact many more non- compliant motorists compared to writing citations. High frequency of stops also ensures that many other people witness warning stops, prompting them to obey the rules. Give people time to change behaviors before ticketing starts. Ticket Finally, after the “warning” time expires, clearly announce when and where ticketing operations will occur. If offenders continue to violate the law, officers begin writing tickets. Ticketing gives the program credibility by establishing police follow-through.

Speed Trailers are a temporary way to monitor traffic speeds. Edina Police Department can issue warnings and citations for speeding motorists. 99Recommendations Speed enforcement in school zones Strict enforcement of speed limits in school zones is one enforcement tool that can improve safety for students and families walking and biking to school. A ‘zero tolerance’ policy for speeders in established school zones, and an increase in fines for drivers who violate posted school speed limits, are useful approaches. In Minnesota, drivers who violate speed limits in school speed zones are fined double the amount of the basic fine unless the ordinary fine is less than $25. Any ordinary speeding violation fine less than $25 automatically receives an additional $25 fine. ADJUSTING SPEED LIMITS According to current Minnesota Statutes, Minnesota cities must, in general, defer to the Minnesota Department of Transportation when setting or adjusting speed limits, even on their own road facilities. Minnesota Statutes, however, also reserve the right for cities to set their own speed limits on their road facilities under the following circumstances, according to Minnesota Statutes § 169.14 and § 160.263: • A city may, without any additional engineering or traffic investigation, reduce the speed limit to not less than 25 mph on roads that have a designated bicycle lane. • A city, without any additional engineering or traffic investigation, reduce the speed limit to 25 mph on a “residential roadway.” (A city street or town road whose total length is up to a half-mile). • A city may, without any additional engineering or traffic investigation, reduce speed limits to 30 mph for a city street in an “urban district” (Any segment of a city street or town road that is built up with structures spaced less than 100 feet apart for a minimum distance of a quarter-mile). • A city may, with support from an engineering or traffic study, reduce the speed limit to not less than 15 mph, or more than 30 mph below the surrounding speed limit in school zones (A segment of street or highway that abuts school grounds where children have access to the roadway or where a school crossing is in place). 1Recommendations: Enforcement / 6Es “Share the Road” signs increase motorized vehicle drivers’ awareness of bicycle riders on the road and help enforce safe use of the road. 100 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 9 Evaluation 101Recommendations Evaluation helps measure the success of investments at achieving desired outcomes. Evaluation takes place before and after programming and infrastructure improvements to establish a baseline and measure progress overtime. 9.1 Evaluation and performance measures 9.2 Counting Program 1 1Recommendations: Evaluation / 6Es 102 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan »Number of bicycle-vehicle crashes »Severity of bicycle-vehicle crashes Optional measures: »Pedestrian sense of safety (intercept or general community survey) »Bicyclist sense of safety (intercept or general community survey) »Automobile compliance and awareness in areas with high rates of pedestrian and bicycle use (observation) Facility use Volunteer counts are conducted in many communities in the Twin Cities to track the number of people walking or biking along a given corridor, or through a specific intersection. Edina current counts at five locations. Increasing the number of locations for these counts will expand the current data. An increase in observed walkers or bikers would indicate an improved environment, especially if collisions involving people walking or biking decrease over the same period. Recommended performance measures: »Percent of residents who walk or bike to work »Percent of students who walk or bike to school »Percent of residents who walk or bike to other destinations »Annual pedestrian and bicycle counts Performance measures are instruments that help assess the extent to which progress is being made in implementing a plan. They are a set of goals, trends or targets that are meant to be met at a certain point of time in the future - for example, to double the rate of people walking or biking in Edina within ten years of the adoption of this plan. Targets or trends can also be checked at recurring intervals, or at a closer or farther time in the future. The performance measures recommended the system address four broad categories: »Safety and user comfort »Use of facilities »Facilities and network »Community and municipal awareness and support Safety and user comfort Pedestrian and bicycle crashes should be tracked. Fewer crashes per year would indicate an improved environment, especially if more people are walking and biking for their daily trips. Data can be obtained from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Recommended performance measures: »Number of pedestrian-vehicle crashes »Severity of pedestrian-vehicle crashes 9.1 Evaluation and performance measures 103Recommendations Facilities and network A system’s physical facilities and network provide the foundation for increasing travel by foot or bike. Measuring progress in the implementation and development of facilities will help measure success in plan implementation, and provide additional context for understanding potential gains in user safety and facility use that may occur as new facilities are added. Recommended performance measures »Miles of sidewalks and trails »Miles of on-street bicycle facilities »Number of new bicycle parking spaces »Miles of gaps in pedestrian network »Miles of gaps in bicycle network »Percent of planned facilities installed Municipal awareness and support Effective implementation of this plan and the realization of its goals require the participation of government and community partners, and the interest and engagement of the broader community. The performance measures included in this category describe the level to which walking and bicycle interests, attitudes, and practice have permeated Edina’s culture. Performance measures that help evaluate awareness and support include: Recommended performance measures »The City currently has a Living Streets Plan »The City does annual pedestrian and bicycle counts »Pedestrian and bicycle maps and information are available to the public »Events promoting walking and biking (i.e. Open Streets) are held regularly »Police enforce laws that protect people walking and biking »Number of public interest or advocacy clubs or organizations »Active Routes To School (ARTS) programs are active in Edina schools 1Recommendations: Evaluation / 6Es 104 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 9.2 Counting program Pedestrian and bicycle counts are useful to understand where walking and biking are taking place and whether growth is occurring in use of non-motorized modes. This information can help the city evaluate the effectiveness of this investments, and guide how it should plan and implement infrastructure and programming investments. Pedestrian and bicycle two-hour counts were conducted at 5 locations across Edina in 2016. The locations were: »Brookside Avenue and 44th Street: 169 Bikes and 191 Pedestrians »Interlachen Boulevard and Blake Road: 106 Bikes and 27 Pedestrians »Wooddale and 54th Street: 129 Bikes and 123 Pedestrians »Valley View Road Roundabout: 44 Bikes and 81 Pedestrians »Valley View Road and Antrim Road: 54 Bikes and 637 Pedestrians At three of the locations, measures were also taken previously in 2014. At the corner of Brookside Avenue and W 44th Street, the number of bikes increased along 44th Street but decreased along Brookside Avenue. At Interlachen Boulevard and Blake Road, the number of bikes increased along Blake road, but decreased on Interlachen. At the intersection of Wooddale Avenue and W 54th Street, The number of bicycles increased along Wooddale but decreased along W 54th Street. These data figures are the result of only two data points. More accurate data will come from continued monitoring of these locations. Considerations for the counting program Some items to consider when setting up a conducting program are: Data irregularity Some circumstances make data counts at certain locations difficult, like construction projects or other factors. If measuring pedestrian and bicycle counts at a certain location is too difficult, take the average change of the other count locations and apply to the previous year data for the uncountable location. In the following year, this extrapolated value should be replaced by the average of the two years on either side of the uncountable year. Transparency of extrapolation should be noted. Automated technologies Manual counts are relatively inexpensive but are subject to variability distortion due to small sample sizes. This makes yearly comparisons less statistically accurate. Data attained through automated technology can be supplemented with manual counts to expand the data available for analysis. Examples of affordable technologies include: infrared sensors, pneumatic tubes, or inductive loops. Rolling averages Once data has been collected for a minimum of five years, a rolling average can be applied. A rolling average looks at the three or four year average at a location over time. This helps eliminate yearly spikes and better predict long-term trends. Travel Surveys Surveys given to Edina residents and employees that ask their current 105Recommendations Current locations for counting program Additional locations where counts are recommended Locations for pedestrian and bicycle counts 1Recommendations: Evaluation / 6Es 106 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 10 Equity 107Recommendations Equity focuses on distributing facility and programming improvements fairly throughout a community to ensure that residents of all neighborhoods and population groups have equal access to high quality facilities and programs. Equity includes intentional efforts for engaging specific diverse populations, and implementation of infrastructure and programs throughout a community to overcome economic, geographic, social, and physical barriers to walking and biking. 10.1 Increasing equitable access 1 1Recommendations: Equity / 6Es 108 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 109Recommendations Bicycling and walking are on the rise.! Adults are realizing the health and economic benefits of active lifestyles and younger generations are choosing more walkable and bikeable transportation options for daily trips. Diverse populations who utilize biking and walking at a high rate, such as youth, low income populations, minorities, the elderly, non-english speaking and those with disabilities have been traditionally overlooked in the transportation planning process and their needs not adequately met. Equity in transportation seeks fairness in accessibility to meet the mobility needs of all community members. A key goal of transportation equity is to foster social and economic opportunities through the provision of equal levels of access to affordable and dependable transportation options based on the needs of the populations being served, specifically populations that are traditionally underserved. The pedestrian and bicycle network recommendations in this plan aims to develop well-connected bicycle and pedestrian networks that serve all areas of the City, including areas that have a high density of historically underserved populations and relatively low levels of existing facilities. The pedestrian and bicycle recommendations serve to achieve equity in two ways: »By bringing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to populations with limited transportation choices, and by »Distributing this infrastructure equitably throughout the city. Population equity A more comprehensive and accessible bicycle network can increase mobility for all populations. Network routes should be designed to accommodate ages 8 to 80. The southeast quadrant of Edina contains a larger proportion of elderly residents than other areas of the city and should ensure safe and comfortable access. Geographic equity The pedestrian and bicycle network should provide equitable coverage throughout the City, allowing residents in all areas of the City to have convenient access to the networks. Also, the bicycle network should be designed to distribute high quality facilities across the city so residents can reach all destinations. Equity in ARTS Planning When planning and implementing ARTS programming, it is important to design events and activities that are inclusive of students of all backgrounds and abilities. This plan identifies potential obstacles to participation and suggests creative outreach, low-cost solutions, and flexible program implementation to address language barriers, students with disabilities, personal safety concerns, and barriers related to school distance. See Appendix A for additional detail on equity in ARTS Planning. 10.1 Increasing equitable access 1Recommendations: Equity / 6Es 110 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Chapter 11 Implementation 111Implementation Effective plans lead to action. The purpose of this chapter is to provide guidance on how to implement the plan’s recommendations so they lead to improvements that Edina residents can enjoy as soon as feasible. 11.1 Approaches to implementation 11.2 General guidance for facility implementation 11.3 Implementing the Edina Twin Loops 11.4 Implementing programming initiatives 11.5 Potential funding sources Implementation 112 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Once adopted, the Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan will become part of the city’s new Comprehensive Plan, which will guide planning work through the year 2030. A productive approach for implementing infrastructure and programming recommendations during that time period should include: »The development of initial concepts for pedestrian and bicycle network improvements based on recommendations from this plan, guidance from Edina staff and community, a review of existing conditions, and an analysis of gaps and opportunity corridors. »A “test-run” of new projects by installing temporary pilot/pop-up versions of proposed changes. Pilot projects provide opportunities to measure impacts and gather comments from community members before investing in a permanent infrastructure improvement. »Further refining of conceptual recommendations through additional engineering and land use analysis, as well as coordination with the local community. »Funding support for implementation of this plan’s recommendations from multiple sources. A table of potential funding sources is provided later in this chapter. The city should continue to work closely with Hennepin County regarding implementation of facilities along county roadways. 11.1 Approaches to implementation Temporary installations, also known as pop-up, pilot, or tactical urbanism projects, are useful for testing new ideas. Image: Test-run for a separated bike lane in Hopkins. 113Implementation Implementing pedestrian network recommendations Providing a continuous network of sidewalks and trails is key for supporting safe and comfortable walking trips. The following improvements will help to increase the safety and comfort of the existing network, and should be integrated into corridor projects to increase pedestrian comfort and accessibility: »Upgrading pedestrian signals to include countdown timers, Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), and revising timing to provide more time for pedestrians to cross. »Upgrading curb ramps to ADA standards. »Installing pedestrian-scaled street lighting along sidewalks and trails. »Providing pedestrian refuges through median retrofits and installation. Pedestrian and bicycle improvements are often implemented as part of larger streetscape and roadway improvements. For this reason, it is difficult to provide precise phasing recommendations for network implementation. Regardless, identifying priority areas and projects can be helpful in moving implementation forward fairly and effectively. As much as possible, consider the following when selecting, designing, and implementing infrastructure recommendations: »Coordinate pedestrian and bicycle improvements with scheduled road construction and repairs to avoid potential conflicts and take advantage of opportunities for simultaneous improvements. »Street resurfacing, restriping, and streetscape projects provide opportunities to stripe on-street bicycle facilities or improve off- street sidewalk and trail connections at minimal costs. »Treatments that require special consideration and careful design include raised crosswalks, channelized turn lane improvements, neighborhood slow streets with traffic calming elements, bicycle- specific traffic signals, and refuge islands. »Pursue additional funding to support the design, implementation, and maintenance of pedestrian and bicycle improvements on a regular, ongoing basis. »Act on opportunities to include pedestrian and bicycle improvements as part of development and redevelopment projects, or through spot improvements. 11.2 General guidance for facility implementation Implementation Installation of new sidewalk along a busy roadway, Saint Paul. 114 City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan New sidewalks and shared use path being constructed as part of new segments of the Saint Paul Grand Round. Implementing bicycle network recommendations Space for accommodating on-street bicycle facilities may be created within existing right-of-way by using one or more of the following methods: »Narrowing the width of existing travel and parking lanes: »11 ft maximum recommended travel lane width −Adhere to minimum allowable width of 12 ft for state aid roadways with posted speed limits over 40 mph. »8 ft maximum recommended parking lane width »Reduce the number of travel lanes: »On streets with four or more lanes, low to moderate through volumes (20,000 ADT and below), and high left-turn volumes, the two center-most lanes may be converted into a single dual-left-turn lane, improving ease and safety of left-turns, and freeing up space for on-street bicycle facilities. This conversion is often referred to as a road diet or safety conversion. »Removing or consolidating on-street parking where present. »Designate existing shoulders or excess roadway space for bicycle use. »Recommend against shared parking/bike lanes, as they provide inconsistent and unpredictable conditions for both bicycle riders and motorists - bicycle riders may have to mix with traffic in order to pass parked vehicles. 115Implementation 11.3 Implementing the Edina Twin Loops Building Edina’s All Ages and Abilities network Edina’s Twin Loops will work with the recently constructed Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail to form the backbone of Edina’s All Ages and Abilities network. Implementation of the proposed Inner and Outer Loops will occur over time due to the associated costs and potential impacts of some of the improvements. To aid project scoping and implementation, the two loops were reviewed in greater detail to provide some direction for potential implementation options based on existing facilities, GIS data, and other identified opportunities and constraints. The tables provided over the next pages list potential options for near-term accommodation of the loop alignments and also the potential configuration and considerations for longer term implementation. This provides a starting point in the project development process as reconstruction and reconditioning projects are planned.

Crossing guards, for example, can make as much difference as new facilities in getting more students to walk and bike to school. Effective and proactive programs are a key component of successful implementation of walk / bike initiatives, as they maximize the benefit of infrastructure investment and grow walking and biking. The city’s role in implementation of programming initiatives will vary depending on resources and capacity. The city may take the lead, provide support, or work in partnership with schools, neighborhood groups, local businesses or other organizations to initiate and implement a diverse array of programs. Programs implementation should occur in coordination with infrastructure implementation and evolve as needed in the long term to educate all roadway users on how to safely operate in shared spaces including travel-ways and intersections, promote use of new facilities through encouragement programming, and support network safety through enforcement and facility maintenance. When working to implement programs, the City of Edina can: »Provide support to schools for further Active (Safe) Routes to School (SRTS / ARTS) planning and programming implementation at the school-, district- and city wide levels; »Leverage partnerships with governmental and nongovernmental agencies, community organizations, and local businesses to support education and encouragement programming; and »Work closely with local police to enforce traffic safety laws, lead safety workshops including community education classes or bike rodeos, and provide a positive example for safe driving and bicycling behavior. 11.4 Implementing programming initiatives 125Implementation 11.5 Potential funding sources A variety of funding sources and programs are available to partially or wholly support the improvement of pedestrian and/or bicycle facilities in Edina. This section presents a compilation that can serve as a starting point for future efforts. Additionally, the City of Edina should continue to coordinate closely with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Parks District during network implementation, as both agencies are continuing to expand facilities within their areas of jurisdiction. Hennepin County has developed dedicated funding sources to support implementation of facilities along or adjacent to County roadways.

Cities large and small are rethinking their approaches to mobility to better integrate walking and bicycling into their fabric, and are exploring new approaches for maximizing sustainability and prosperity while improving quality of life. This toolkit supplements the Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan, and includes a description of best practices for the development of walking and bicycling infrastructure. The tools and approaches included are based on a survey of national applications and case studies, and pro- vide guidance for improvements to street cross sections, intersections, and signals. This toolkit should not be the only resource to determine appropriate measures or infrastructure. Rather, it is part of an overall planning and engineering toolbox that includes the requirements of the MN-MUTCD and engineering study and judgment.

Spe- cific recommendations responding to this guidance can be found in Chapter 5 - Engineering Recommendations. Edina current policies Edina follows the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MNMUTCD) and its own local traffic control policies. The MNMUTCD regulates the design and placement of traffic signs and provides guidelines for their installation. The recommendations provided below supplement current city practices as detailed on the city’s website at www.edinamn.gov/529/Traffic-Management Stop & Yield Signs Stop signs are used to help assign right-of-way to vehicles at an intersection. Stop signs are not installed to control motor-vehicle speed or volume. This plan recommends using street design, includ- ing installation of traffic-calming elements, to control these traffic characteristics. Speed Limit Speed limits are set by Minnesota State Statute. Edina is classified as an urban district and the speed limit for urban districts is 30 mph un- less otherwise specified. Current Minnesota State Statutes allow the road authority (City Council) to, without any additional engineering or traffic investigation, adopt a 25-mile-per-hour (mph) speed limit for its residential roadways, or for any roadways under its jurisdiction that include a bicycle facility. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-3 Marked Pedestrian Crosswalks The City of Edina’s local traffic control policy regarding marked pe- destrian crosswalks is as follows: • Marked crosswalks are placed at locations that are unusually hazardous or at locations not readily apparent as having pedestrian movement • Marked crosswalks will only be placed in an area that has 20 or more pedestrian crossings in a two-hour period • 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: »More than five gaps - pavement marking and signage only »Less than five gaps - add actuated pedestrian signals • Crosswalks will not be placed on arterial roads or roads with a speed limit greater than 30 mph unless in conjunction with signalization • Other conditions that warrant crosswalks include: »Routes to schools »Locations adjacent to libraries, community centers, and other high use public facilities »Locations adjacent to public parks »Locations where significant numbers of persons with physical or cognitive disabilities cross a street »Locations where significant numbers of senior citizens cross a street • Crosswalks should be placed at intersections or - if deemed needed and appropriate by an engineering study or judgement - at mid-block locations A-4 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-5 Selecting Crossing Treatments at Uncontrolled Locations (adapted from the City of Boulder Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines) Notes A-6 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Table 1 - for Selecting Crossing Treatments at Uncontrolled Locations (adapted from the City of Boulder Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines) Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-7 Table 1 (continued) - for Selecting Crossing Treatments at Uncontrolled Locations (adapted from the City of Boulder Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines) A-8 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Guidelines for the Installation of Pedestrian Hybrid (HAWK) Beacons, Pedestrian Signals, or Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) Signs on Low-Speed Roadways (adapted from the City of Boulder Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines) Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-9 Guidelines for the Installation of Pedestrian Hybrid (HAWK) Beacons, Pedestrian Signals, or Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) Signs on High-Speed Roadways (adapted from the City of Boulder Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines) A-10 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Selecting Crossing Treatments at Controlled Locations (adapted from the City of Boulder Pedestrian Crossing Treatment Installation Guidelines) Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-11 A.2 Selecting treatments to improve conditions for bicycling The following detailed guidance is provided to assist in selecting treatments to improve the conditions for bicycle riders in Edina. Specific facility recommendations responding to this guidance can be found in Chapter 5 - Engineering Recommendations. Many design manuals and best practices guides offer guidance on when, where and how to implement bicycle facilities and treatments. The tables included in this section are recommended for reference when investigating new or improved facilities in Edina. Widths spec- ified in the tables are minimum recommended widths. Protected or buffered bicycle lanes are recommended along primary routes whenever space permits. Two sets of tables are provided in this section: • A set of “Safe Minimums for Bicycle Facilities” that offer guidance on minimums recommended for safe facilities, based on MnDOT recommendations and adapted to reflect a range of facilities • A “Comfort-Centric Facility Selection Matrix” that is calibrated to match the traffic tolerance of members of the mainstream adult population (including those who do not regularly ride bicycles today) and is based on current practice in the Netherlands (which has the highest rates of bicycle use among all members of the adult population) supplemented by US research and adapted for this plan Three-lane safety conversions Please note that four lane roads with fewer than 18,000 ADT are ideal candidates for conversion from four lanes (two lanes each way) to three lanes (one lane each way, with a left-turn only lane). These “road diet” conversions are recommended by FHWA as a “proven safety countermeasure” that reduces crash frequency and severity for all users (pedestrians, bicycle riders and motorists). The roadway space gained through the conversion can be used to provide sepa- rated or buffered bicycle lanes that significantly improve safety and comfort for bicycle riders. A-12 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Levels of separation for bicycle facilities Separation from motor-vehicles is a key factor determining the relative comfort for members of the mainstream adult popula- tion (typically about 60% of a community’s adult population). To increase bicycling in Edina it will be important to address the needs of this population. In general, bicycle routes where higher motor vehicle traffic speeds and volumes are present should offer riders greater separation from motor vehicles. This will result in facilities that offer greater percep- tion of safety and comfort to current and potential bicycle riders and will invite use by larger number of riders and through a greater range of ages and abilities.

Please note that the widths specified below are minimum recommended widths. Protected or buffered bicycle lanes are recommended along primary routes whenever space permits. Using the “User comfort-centric” facility selection matrix provided in this document is recom- mended instead, to ensure that facilities selected provide the characteristics consistent with the “All Ages and Abilities” network envisioned for Edina. Safe minimums: Bikeway Design Selection for Urban (Curb/Gutter) Cross Section - Adapted from MnDOT Bicycle Facility Design Guide (2007)* A-14 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan “User comfort-centric” facility selection matrix This table presents a matrix for selecting facilities that provide comfortable condi- tions and address “perception of safety” needs of members of the mainstream adult population. Where more than one option is shown, the options presented higher in the list provide higher separation and user comfort. High-Visibility Crosswalks Continental markings. Design guidance: • Advanced stop bars should be considered when multiple motor vehicle travel lanes per direction are present in order to minimize risk of “hidden threat” crashes. • Crossings marked with pavers are discouraged as they can be difficult for those with mobility impairments. • High-visibility marked crossings are preferred because they are easier for motorists to see. • Minimum markings consist of solid white lines between 6-24” in width (MUTCD). Description Marked crosswalks help to create a continuous route network for people walking and biking by alerting motorists to their potential presence at crossings and intersections. Below is a sample of different types of high-visibility crosswalk markings. Application of facility • Should be used at fully-controlled intersections where sidewalks exist (all-way stop signs, traffic lights, or user-activated crossing beacons); • Should be used where bicycle trails or shared-use paths cross a roadway; and • Should not be used at uncontrolled crossings as a stand-alone device when speeds exceed 40 mph, to discourage unsafe crossings. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-15 A.3 Pedestrian and bicycle facilities Median Refuge Island Median refuge islands make it easier for people walking and biking to cross the street. Photo source: Carl Sundstrom Design guidance: • In addition to signage, trees and low ground cover increase visibility to alert drivers of the presence of the median island. • Minimum width of 6’. • Adequate lighting should be provided. • Refuge area in the median should be angled so that users face traffic before crossing, while still allowing bike riders (when present) to navigate without dismounting. Description Median crossing islands make crossings safer and easier by dividing them into two stages so that pedestrians and bicyclists only have to worry about crossing one direction of traffic at a time. Median crossing islands make high-volume roads safer and easier to cross, especially for slower walkers such as children and the elderly who might otherwise get stranded in the middle of the roadway. Space can sometimes be a constraint as crossing islands require the provision of a median in the center of the road. Application of facility • Two-way, multi-lane roads; • Roads with high traffic speeds and/ or volumes; and • Near schools, transit hubs, trails, shopping centers and employment centers. A-16 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan HAWK / Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon A HAWK Beacon makes it easier for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross a busy street. Design guidance: • Should include installation of a high-visibility crosswalk and advanced stop bar ahead of crosswalk. • When used to facilitate bicycle movements, a bicycle signal head should be installed in addition to pedestrian signal heads. The bicycle signal head should display a flashing red to bicyclists when the hybrid is dark, allowing bicyclists to treat the intersection as a “stop” when the beacon is not activated. • The MUTCD provides guidance on establishing the length of signal phasing. Description A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (more commonly known as HAWK or High-Intensity Activated crossWalK beacon) is a pedestrian-activated red- indication signal designed for locations where a standard traffic light does not meet traffic engineering warrants. The HAWK gives pedestrians a bicyclists a chance to comfortably cross busy roads at intersections or mid-block locations protected by an enforceable, red-indication signal for motorists. The HAWK remains dark until activated by a pedestrian or bicyclist pressing the crossing button. Once activated, the signal responds immediately with a flashing yellow pattern that changes to a solid red light providing unequivocal “Stop” guidance to motorists. HAWK signals have been shown to elicit very high rates of motorist compliance. Cost for installation of a HAWK typically ranges from $75,000 to $150,000. Application of facility • At crosswalks where no traffic signal is present; • At mid-block or intersection locations; and • The MUTCD (Chapter 4F) has guidance for applying a HAWK based on motor vehicle speeds and volumes, crossing length, and pedestrian volumes. Bicyclists are not specifically considered, however bicycle crossing volumes may be added to pedestrian crossing volumes for evaluation purposes. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-17 Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) An RRFB at a mid-block crossing alerts drivers when a pedestrian or bicyclist is crossing. Image courtesy of Michael Frederic. Design guidance: • Employ RRFBs only at crossing problem areas, school routes, or high volume routes in order to prevent a decrease in compliance. • A beacon should be placed between the pedestrian crossing sign and the attached arrow plaque. • For overhead signs, no arrow plaque is required. Description The Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) is a high-intensity flashing sign assembly that is placed ahead of a crosswalk. The RRFB is user-activated, and uses an irregular “stutter” flash pattern with very bright amber lights (similar to those on emergency vehicles) to alert drivers to yield to pedestrians who wish to cross. The RRFB offers a higher level of driver compliance than other flashing yellow beacons, but lower than the HAWK signal. Installation cost ranges from $10,000 to $15,000 for two assemblies (for installation on each side of the street). Application of facility • At crosswalks where no traffic signal is present; • Suitable for two-lane roads (one assembly on each side of the street) and four- lane roads (one assembly on each side of the street and in the median or center island); • Not compatible with three-lane approaches if roadside-mounted signs are used (due to potential line of sight issues / obstruction of signs); and • FHWA permits the overhead placement of RRFBs, when it is not possible to achieve clear visibility of roadside signs; for placement, FHWA directs: “Only a minimum of one such sign per approach is required and it should be located over the approximate center of the lanes of the approach or where optimum visibility can be achieved.” A-18 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Conventional Bike Lane A conventional bicycle lane in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Exclude the gutter pan width when measuring curbside bicycle lanes. Design guidance: • Provide door zone clearance when bike lanes are located adjacent to parked vehicles. • Apply bike symbol markings frequently to indicate that the space is a bike lane. • Place pavement markings out of the path of turning vehicles to minimize wear. • Preferred recommended width of 6’, minimum width of 5’ (excluding curb and gutter pan). Description Bike lanes designate a portion of the roadway for preferential use by bicyclists. Lanes are defined by striping, pavement markings and signage. Bike lanes create separation between biking and driving and increase comfort and visibility of people biking. On some roads, space availability may be a constraint; however, implementing a “road diet” (for example, by converting a four-lane roadway to three-lanes), or decreasing the width of travel lanes (down to 11 ft or 10 ft in urban settings) can often free up additional roadway space and provide a solution to this issue. Application of facility • Bike lanes should be considered for streets that exceed 3,000 or higher motor vehicle average daily traffic (ADT); and • Bicycle lanes should be paired with shared-use path on roads with speeds of 45 mph or greater and the following ADTs: 2-Lane Road with ADT greater than 10,000; and 4-Lane Road with ADT greater than 20,000. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-19 Buffered Bike Lane A buffered bike lane. This example has a buffer on the left for sepa- ration from moving vehicles and a buffer on the right for separation from parked cars (Park Avenue, Minneapolis). Design guidance: • Apply pavement markings frequently to identify that the space is designated for people biking. • Color may be used at the beginning of each block to clearly indicate to motorists that the space is a buffered bike lane. • Buffer is typically marked with 2 solid white lines with optional diagonal hatching of 3’. • In constrained space: 3’ buffer + 4’ bike lane next to the curb may be considered a 7’ bike lane. Description Buffered bike lanes provide cyclists with extra space between bikes and traffic, increasing comfort for bicycle riders. Buffers can provide cyclists with room to pass slower riders without having to merge into motor vehicle traffic. Buffered bike lanes also separate people from motor vehicle traffic as they exit and enter parked cars. Application of facility • All locations where a bike lane is considered; • On streets with higher travel speeds and/or higher travel volumes; • On streets that provide additional lane width; and • Buffered bike lanes may provide a safer and more comfortable designated bicycling space for parents with schoolchildren than conventional bike lanes and should be considered for routes serving school locations. A-20 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Protected Bike Lane A painted buffer and bollards physically separate bicyclists using the two-way protected bike lane from motor vehicle traffic. Design guidance: • Design with consideration for intersections and driveways. • Colored pavement may be used to define the lane. • One-way protected bike lane width: 6’ to 12’. Description A protected bike lane (also known as a separated bike lane or cycletrack) is an exclusive space for bikes separated from motor vehicle traffic by a painted buffer and/or physical barrier (such as a curb, parked cars, or bollards), and separated and distinct from the sidewalk. Protected bike lanes significantly increase bicycle ridership for people of all ages and experience levels because the significant separation from motorized vehicles greatly increases rider comfort. Protected bike lanes also increase safety by reducing the likelihood of dooring crashes and potential conflicts from passing motor vehicles. They require more space and infrastructure than conventional bike lanes, and require special design attention Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-21 at intersections. Separated bike lanes are the preferred on-street bicycle accommodation where the right-of-way space allows for its installation. Application of facility • Along roadways with few cross streets, longer blocks, and limited driveways; • Major roadways with medium to high motor vehicle traffic speeds and volumes; and • Streets with parking lanes. Neighborhood Slow Street A traffic circle helps to calm traffic along a Neighborhood Slow Street. Design guidance: • Traffic calming devices (traffic circles, speed tables) will reduce motor vehicle speeds and create a safer environment for people walking and biking. • Roadway markings should be used to designate the roadway as a bikeway and remind motorists to be mindful of people walking and biking. • Stop signs should be turned to face cross streets to reduce the number of stops for bicycle riders. • Wayfinding markers should be used to direct people biking to neighborhood slow streets from major thoroughfares and to alert motorists to the presence of bicycle riders. • Signals, roundabouts, and/or median refuges should be used at major intersections when necessary to calm and/or redirect through traffic. Description A neighborhood slow street (also sometimes known as a bike boulevard or neighborhood greenway) is a lower volume, lower speed residential street designed to prioritize bicycle travel while encouraging motor vehicles to use other routes and maintaining relatively low motor vehicle speeds. Application of facility • Residential streets where traffic calming is desired; A-22 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan • Residential streets a block or two away from a major thoroughfare with high traffic volumes; • Target speed for motor vehicle traffic on a bike boulevard should be no higher than 20 to 25 mph; and • Motor Vehicle traffic volumes on a bicycle boulevard should be no higher than 3,000 ADT. Shared-Use Path / Trail The shared-use trail in the Edina Promenade uses texture and color to distinguish between uses. Design guidance: • Minimum width should be 10’ to 12’. • Dual side paths recommended along high speed / volume roadways, or roadways with limited crossing opportunities to minimize unsafe crossing behavior. Description Off-road shared-use paths (SUPs), also often known as multi-use trails, provide separated space away from the street for non-motorized transportation users. These paths often link parks and other recreation destinations, and some serve broader regional connection purposes. Shared-use paths may run parallel to roadways, or away from streets in parks, along railways, and in wetland areas. Shared-use paths are generally very comfortable for users of all ages and abilities. Application of facility • Along corridors where there is a sufficient width of continuous right- of-way; and • Along roads with speeds of 45 mph or greater with the following traffic volumes: 2-Lane Road with ADT greater than 10,000 4-Lane Road with ADT greater than 20,000 Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-23 Shared-Lane Markings Priority shared-lane markings include additional striping to further establish the route as a bikeway. Design guidance: • Typical bike-and-chevron symbol dimensions are 9’3” by 3’3”. • High frequency of markings indicate shared lane environment. • Markings should be placed in the center of travel lanes and out of turning vehicles’ paths to minimize wear from automobiles. • Should not be used as a substitute for bicycle lanes where space allows. • Not appropriate for routes that are part of a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) network (except when applied within a Neighborhood Slow Street). Description Shared-lane markings (often called sharrows) are pavement markings used to communicate bicyclists’ right to use the full roadway space for their travel. Sharrows help bike riders position themselves safely in travel lanes that cannot accommodate a bike lane or other facility. Sharrows may also be used to mark Neighborhood Slow Streets. Priority shared-lane markings include additional colored paint or striping to bring further attention to the facility and highlight a bicyclist’s placement and presence in the roadway. Application of facility • Streets with fewer than 3,000 motor vehicles per day, and where right-of-way width does not allow a bicycle lane or protected bike facility; • If right-of-way width allows room for a bike lane on only one side of the street, a sharrow may be used in downhill direction, with a bike lane in the “climbing” direction; • Can be used to clarify bicyclist movement and positioning in challenging environments such as intersections and at a combined turn/bike lane; and • May be used as a treatment for streets identified as Neighborhood Slow Streets. A-24 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Colored Treated Bike Facilities A shared-use trail in Edina, Minnesota uses texture and color to distinguish between uses. Design guidance: • Provide signage to accompany pavement markings. • Use green high-friction surfacing rather than paint. • Consistency in coloring bike facilities is important. Green is standard in U.S. applications. • Color can be provide in conflict areas alone, or throughout the facility. • White border lines should be provided along the edges of the colored lane to maintain consistency with other bike facilities. Description Bike lanes are made more visible by colored pavement. This treatment distinguishes the lane from the rest of the roadway, making bike riders more visible. It is recommended that high-friction surfacing be used over standard paint because it is more slip-resistant and it doesn’t have to be reapplied as often (standard paint has to be reapplied every year or two). Color recommendation • PMS 375 Application of facility • Within conventional, buffered, and protected bike lanes; • Corridors with heavy auto and bicycle traffic; • Through busy and/or complex intersections and at conflict points, such as driveways; • Use thermoplastic treatment with anti-slip characteristics - has a 7-8 year life expectancy; and • Areas where illegal motor vehicle parking in the bike lane is common. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-25 Bike Box Bike boxes enhance the visibility of bicyclists and allow them to get out in front of motor vehicles at intersections. Design guidance: • Box may be ineffective without application of surface color. • The box may be disregarded by motorists if it is not commonly filled by bicyclists. • Box depth: 10‘ to 16’. • Ingress bike lane should be used to define bicycle space and allow people biking to bypass stopped motor vehicles. • High-visibility pavement markings and green-colored pavement surfacing should be used. • “WAIT HERE” marking should be used to guide motorists to stop before the box. Description A bike box is a designated area for bike riders at the head of an intersection. Pavement markings guide motorists to stop a greater distance ahead of an intersection, allowing bike riders to move forward and stop in the bike box, increasing visibility and decreasing the risk of “right hook” crashes. This treatment also gives bike riders priority at a green light by allowing them to be the first to begin movement when a traffic signal turns from red to green. Ideally, bicycle boxes are paired with bicycle specific traffic signals. Application of facility • Signalized intersections with high volumes of bicycles and/or motor vehicles, especially those with frequent bicyclist left-turns and/or motorist right-turns. A-26 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Bicycle Detection Systems Design guidance: • The most effective loop detection design is a Type D Loop, also known as a diagonal quadrupole pattern. This loop is sensitive over its entire width with a quick drop off in sensitivity outside its perimeter to avoid detection of vehicles in adjoining lanes. • Sensitivity setting for the loop amplifier should be tested and adjusted to ensure that the detector can be activated by using only a bicycle wheel. Description OBicycle detection systems allow people biking to make movements through intersections in a timely way without requiring the detection of a motorized vehicle or push button. Detection systems include in-pavement loop detectors and mounted camera detectors. Loop detectors detect the presence of bikes on the roadway. Detectors should be installed to cover areas of the road where people biking are likely to ride, including the right edge of travel lanes and the center of bike lanes. Pavement markings may be used to direct riders to the proper spot where their presence will be detected. Cameras can be used to detect roadway users, including people biking. Once detected, a signal change is initiated to allow users to travel through the intersection. Hennepin County is installing camera detection technology when signals are upgraded or installed with the goal of providing camera detection at all signalized county road intersections. Application of facility • Implement appropriate detection whenever traffic signals are added or significantly upgraded; • At intersections with traffic control; • At intersections that require vehicle detection to initiate a signal change; • Crossings with traffic signals for bicycles. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-27 Pavement marking recommended to encourage proper positioning of bikes at loop detectors (Source: MN-MUTCD) Bicycle Traffic Signals A bicycle traffic signal in Minneapolis helps people biking to safely cross a busy street. Design guidance: • Identify which signal treatment is appropriate by analyzing the factors involved: speed limit, average daily traffic, anticipated bicycle crossing traffic. • Determine a clearance interval appropriate for the specific intersection. • The bicycle clearance interval should be sufficient to accommodate at least 85% of bicyclists at their normal travel speed, including reaction time and acceleration from a stop. Description Traffic signals for bicycles are traffic control devices used to provide guidance specific to people biking at intersections. Bicycle signals are coordinated with motor vehicle signals to provide a protected crossing for bike riders at intersections, reducing stress and delays, and increasing safety and comfort. They also discourage illegal and unsafe crossing maneuvers. Traffic signals for bicycles include: • Bicycle Signal Heads and supplemental “Bicycle Signal” sign, clearly visible to oncoming bike riders (and motorists, if applicable); • Signal detection and actuation; and • Intersection crossing markings. Application of facility • Intersections where high volumes of bike riders have to travel across roadways with high motor vehicle traffic volumes and/or speeds. A-28 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 1 4 5 2 2 3 Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-29 Description Common problems at trail crossings include: • People walking and biking are blocked by motor vehicles which have inched forward and are preparing to turn onto the main road; • Elevation changes at curb ramps / through the intersection affect walking and biking conditions; and • High motor vehicle speeds as they turn from the main road and travel across the path crossings. Design Concepts for Protected Trail Crossings The concepts shown here address these issues by identifying measures that can, when used in combination, mitigate challenges for users. At a T-intersection, this concept sets sidepath crossings about 20 feet back from the parallel street (to provide space for motorists to queue up outside of the crossing when waiting for a gap in traffic), and provides a continuous path at a constant elevation for people walking and biking. Additional components and configuration elements (including turning radius, medians, signs and markings) reduce the probability of drivers blocking the path of pedestrians and bicyclists, and provide traffic- calming benefits near the sidepath crossing. Figure A.4 – Protected Trail Crossing Concept Protected trail crossings are set back from parallel streets to provide room for motorists to queue up outside of the crossing. Additional design elements include: 1. Speed table for the crossing 2. Medians and median extensions 3. Reduced turning radius 4. Clear sight triangle between motorists and sidepath users 5. 6 foot waiting zone. A.4 Intersection treatments A-30 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Design Considerations Crossing is pulled back 20 feet from parallel street • Allows room for one vehicle to queue up, without blocking pedestrian or bicycle travel, to wait for a gap in traffic; and • Allows sufficient distance for motor vehicles turning from the parallel roadway to see pedestrians or bicyclists using the crossing and to react and stop if needed. Crossing is raised • Addresses the issues of elevation changes affecting wheelchair users, pedestrians and bicycle riders at crossings; • Calms traffic by functioning as a speed table, giving motorists more time to notice approaching pedestrians or bicyclists; and • Discourages motorists from stopping on the crossing, maintaining a clear travel-way for sidepath users. Medians and islands are provided, and include mountable curbs • Channelize and calm motor vehicle traffic while allowing access for freight trucks and emergency vehicles. Crossing is visible and legible • Crossing location is visible and understood by all users of the road and path (appropriate pavement markings and signs are used); and • Maintains clear and unobstructed sight lines at corners. Turning radius is reduced • Tightens corner radii and includes installation of median extensions to slow motor vehicles turning into and out of the intersection to/ from all directions; and • Accommodates freight vehicles and emergency vehicles with mountable curbs. Additional Design Considerations Additional design considerations for improved safety and functioning of crossings include: • Speed table slope should be 1:10 except on emergency or freight routes when it can be lowered to 1:25; • 6 feet waiting zone for path users between perpendicular path and curb; and • Maintain a clear sight triangle between motorists and sidepath users at crossing approach. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-31 Description Arterial intersections carry large volumes of motor vehicle traffic. Conventional geometric design for arterials, which focused on optimizing traffic flow for motor vehicles and did not fully consider the needs of other users, has negative implications for the safety, comfort and experience of people walking or biking through an intersection. At locations where high numbers of people are expected to walk Design Concepts for Arterial Intersections or bike, the roadway designer should strive to eliminate conflicts completely if possible, or to modify roadway designs to reduce motor vehicle speeds and make them more compatible speeds of people walking and biking (10-15 mph) at locations where conflicts cannot be avoided. Figure A.5 – Components of Arterial Intersection Design Design components: 1. Protected-Only Left Turn Signal Phase 2. Conventional Turn Lanes 3. Shared Right/Through Lane and Slow Speed Geometry 4. Protected Right Turn Signals 5. No Turn on Red 6. Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) 7. Pedestrian-Friendly Channelizing Islands 8. Other Channelized Turn Lane Enhancements A-32 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Design Considerations 1. Protected-Only Left Turn Signal Phase Exclusive left turn lanes should use protected-only signal phasing at intersections with sidepath crossings. This type of operation is recognized to provide the safest left-turn operation. Permitted-only or protected/permitted left turn phasing should not be allowed at crossings of high-priority bicycle and pedestrian routes. 2. Conventional Turn Lanes Channelized turn lanes generally offer larger radius, higher speed turns than conventional turn lanes, which may pose a pedestrian and bicyclist safety issue (FHWA 2013). Conventional right turn lanes with smaller curb radii will reduce vehicular turning speeds, minimize pedestrian crossing distances, and reduce the potential severity of vehicle-pedestrian collisions. In situations where a right-turn lane is necessary, preference should be given to a narrow conventional turn lane with a small corner radii over a channelized turn lane. 3. Shared Right/Through Lane and Slow Speed Geometry In areas with lower right turn volumes and lower speeds, a right turn only lane may not be warranted. By using a shared right/through lane in place of an exclusive right turn only lane, pedestrian crossing distance is decreased and turning speeds are reduced. The pedestrian signal commonly runs concurrently with the adjacent right/through lane. Because this creates a potential conflict between right turning vehicles and crossing path users, it is essential to use geometric design to create a slow speed turning movement. To design for slow speed turning movements, use a very small corner radius and narrow receiving lanes. Like EPIIC intersections at T-intersections and minor streets, the crossing should be setback around 20 ft from the intersection. 4) Protected Right Turn Signals At signalized intersections, right turn lanes are commonly served the circular green signal of the adjacent through lane. Assuming pedestrian signal phase occurs at this time, right turning vehicles are expected to yield for crossing pedestrians and bicyclists in the crosswalk. Reconfiguring the signals to offer a protected right-turn phase may allow a fully protected pedestrian signal phase, allowing efficient and safe mobility for path users. Protected right-turn signalization may be established concurrently with the left-turn signal phase of the cross street, while the pedestrian signal phase is provided concurrently with the adjacent through movement. This type of “protected but concurrent” phasing provides the benefits of protected signalization without adding additional delay to the intersection that comes with exclusive phase operation (please see diagram on previous page). A note on arterial intersection design recommendations Please note that signalization, lane configuration and user volumes all have an effect on vehicle throughput, delay and safety. All intersections are unique, and there is no single typical design that can serve all needs. Each intersection requires review by a registered Professional Engineer to identify sight lines, potential impacts on traffic progression, timing with adjacent signals, capacity and safety for all users.

No Turn on Red The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN- MUTCD) states that a No Turn on Red (NTOR) sign should be considered when an engineering study finds “an unacceptable number of pedestrian conflicts with right-turn-on-red maneuvers, especially involving children, older pedestrians, or persons with disabilities.” Given the likelihood and desire to support high volumes of bicycle and pedestrians along priority paths, an engineering study should be performed to evaluate the potential benefits of NTOR prohibitions at path crossings. When right-turn-on-red is prohibited, there may be more right-turn- on-green conflicts between motor vehicles and pedestrians when both the right turning motorists have a green light and the pedestrian has the walk signal on the adjacent crosswalk. The use of leading pedestrian intervals can reduce this effect, and the use of protected signal phasing can eliminate it. Alternatives to NTOR prohibitions include “Yield to Pedestrian in Crosswalk,” “Turning Vehicles Yield to Pedestrians,” and “No Turn on Red When Pedestrians are Present.” 6. Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN- MUTCD) states that “at intersections with high pedestrian volumes and high conflicting turning vehicle volumes, a brief leading pedestrian interval, during which an advance WALKING PERSON (symbolizing WALK) indication is displayed for the crosswalk while red indications A-34 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Design Considerations Cont. continue to be displayed to parallel through and/or turning traffic, may be used to reduce conflicts between pedestrians and turning vehicles.” All path crossings at signalized intersections should be evaluated for leading pedestrian interval use where there is a desire to support high volumes of bicycle and pedestrian travel. 7. Pedestrian-Friendly Channelizing Islands Whenever possible, channelized turn lanes should be avoided in pedestrian- and bicycle-oriented areas. If their use cannot be avoided, efforts should be made to mitigate their negative effects on these users. If channelized turn lanes and yield or free-flow operation is necessary, pedestrian-friendly geometry should be used to promote slow driver speed through the channelized turn lane and promote yielding of motor vehicles to people crossing the street. Channelizing island geometry should promote clear visibility of people in the crosswalk, and provide space for safe yielding to people walking, biking, or driving (TRB 2014). The alignment of the turn lane should be a nearly right-angle entry to the cross street, giving the channelizing island a shape like an acute right triangle. There should be adequate length of the turn lane to store yielding motor vehicles both before and after the crosswalk area. (b) (a) (c) (a) Vehicle speed is prioritized; (b) Pedestrian safety is improved as well as driver sight lines; (c) Removing channelized turns maximizes pedestrian space and minimizes turning speeds. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-35 Design Considerations Cont. 8) Other Channelized Turn Lane Enhancements Channelized turn lanes can be particularly challenging to navigate for pedestrians with vision impairments (TRB 2010). Recommended strategies to assist these users include the use of raised crossings through the channelized turn lane to slow driver turning speeds and/ or use of Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFB) to improve yielding rates. These improvements also greatly benefit sighted users and should be considered where possible. Each intersection/crossing has its own unique challenges. Concepts should be considered and implemented on a case by case basis. Example of a raised crossing Photo source: Richard Drdul Description A bicycle wayfinding system is a comprehensive network of signing and pavement markings indicating destinations along preferred bicycle routes. Wayfinding signage encourages cycling by familiarizing riders with the bicycle network and by making it easier for cyclists to reach preferred destinations. Types of signs There are three types of bicycle wayfinding signs: • Confirmation signs • Turn signs • Decision signs Confirmation signs Confirmation signs reassure bicycle riders that they are on a designated bikeway, and make motorists aware that they are driving on a route where they can expect to encounter bicyclists. They can include destinations, and possibly distance or time. They don’t typically include directional arrows. Confirmation signs are placed every quarter to every half mile on off-street facilities, and every 2 to 3 blocks along on-street facilities, unless another types of sign is used (for example a turn or decision sign). Confirmation signs should be placed soon after turns to confirm destinations still ahead. Pavement markings also act as confirmation to bicyclists that they are on a designated route. Turn signs Turn signs indicate where a bikeway turns onto a new street, or when a bicyclists should turn to reach a particular destination. Pavement markings can also be used for this purpose. Turn signs typically include destinations and arrows. Turn signs are placed on the near-side of an intersection where a bike route turns. Pavement markings can also be used to indicate the need to turn. A-36 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Pavement markings reinforce routes and direction signage. A.5 Wayfinding and signage Decision signs Decision signs inform bicyclists of the designated bike routes that provide access to key destinations. Decision signs include destinations and directional arrows. Distances and travel time should also be included. Three main components are needed for useful decision signs. They can be thought of as the 3 “Ds”: Destination The destination is the main element, and communicates where things are that a bicycle rider may not have already known. Direction The direction component guides riders to their destination. The direction is indicated simply by using an arrow on the sign that directs users to proceed forward or to prepare to turn. Directional signage also gives motorists warning to expect cyclists on the road, and to anticipate cyclists’ turning or crossing movements. Distance The distance and time component informs riders how long their trips will be, adding a measure of certainty and convenience when planning trips. Distance should be communicated in miles and time, calculated at a biking speed of 10 miles per hour. Decision signs should be placed on the near-side of intersection in advance of a junction with another bicycle route, or along a route to indicate a nearby destination. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-37 Decision signs are located at the intersection of one or more bikeways, and inform bicyclists of the designated routes that provide access to important destinations. Description Bike parking is an end of trip facility that makes it more convenient and inviting for people to arrive by bicycle to a destination. Provision of adequate bicycle parking cannot be overlooked. If bicycle parking spots are inadequate or if finding them is enough of an inconvenience, bicycle riders will next time choose a different mode for arriving or may choose another destination altogether, even if the provided bicycle routes are perfectly safe and convenient. Key Components of Bike Parking Bike Rack Design Choose a style that allows secure locking of the bike (frame and front wheel) to the rack without need of lifting the bike. The “Inverted U” and “Post and Loop” style bike racks are preferred. Avoid rack designs that do not provide support at two places on the bike. These types include: “Wave”, “Comb”, Spiral”, and “Wheel Well’. Bike Parking Location Locate bicycle parking with consideration for the rack’s proximity to the building entrance it serves, its placement along the natural path used by cyclists to approach the building, and its visibility from both the interior and exterior of the building. Bike Parking Area Design Bike parking should be easily accessed and constructed on a paved surface with ease of access for regular use and for maintenance operations in mind. Pavements should extend 1-3 feet beyond the parking spaces to allow for perimeter circulation. Circulation areas should be provided within the bike parking area to efficiently facilitate groups of students moving into and out of the area quickly with bikes. Quantity of Parking The amount of bike parking needed will depend on the capacity of your school, the ages of students, and the number of staff. But remember: be aspirational! Provide parking for the number of students and staff you’d like to see biking! A-38 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan A.6 Bicycle Parking Guide The Bike Rack The rack should support the bicycle upright by its frame in two places, enabling the frame and one or both wheels to be secured while preventing the bicycle from tipping over. Additionally, the rack should not require a cyclist to lift their bike to be able to lock it securely. A useful rack design should allow a bicyclist to roll-in or back-in their bicycle to lock it. Recommended Bike Racks • Inverted U • Post & Ring Not Recommended • Wave • Comb • Spiral • Wheel Well Secure Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | A-39 Two of the preferred types of bicycle racks: the“Inverted U” (top) and the “Post and Loop” (bottom). Location of The Rack Area One of the most important considerations in providing useful and functional bicycle parking is the location of the rack area in relation to the building it serves. Some guidelines for locating the rack area include: • The recommended location for a bicycle parking area is immediately adjacent to the entrance it serves, preferably within 50 feet. It should be located as close as possible without blocking the entrance or hindering pedestrian movement to or from the building. • The rack area should be clearly visible from the entrance it serves and from the building’s approach line. • Bike rack areas should be as close as or closer than the nearest car parking space. • Buildings with multiple active entrances should include bike rack areas at each entrance. • Racks that are hard to find, are far from principal entrances, or perceived to be unsafe will not be used by cyclists. A-40 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Bicycle parking located next to restrooms and other facilities in an Edina Park. The Rack Area The rack area is the “bike parking lot” defined by the racks and the space needed to access the racks. To be functional and useful, certain minimum clearances and access rules should be observed: • Individual racks should be located no closer than 30 inches to each other in order to allow sufficient space for easy entry and removal of bicycles on either side. • No rack element should be closer than 24 inches to a wall or other obstruction in order to allow full usability and easy access to perimeter racks. • Large rack areas, or rack areas with high turnover, should provide more than one entrance to ease circulation of cyclists and pedestrians. • Rack areas should preferably offer protection from rain and snow in order to ease loading and unloading of bikes and to keep bike saddles dry. • When multiple rows of bike racks are provided, the circulation space provided from the wheel of a bike on one row to the closest wheel of a bike on the next row should be a minimum of 48 inches.

As part of this work, members of the project team proactively reached out and engaged Edina residents using a wide range of tools and approaches to better understand concerns and needs. These efforts, conducted in 2017 to date include: 1. Introduction Open House and Workshop A Community Open House and Workshop was held at the Edina Senior Center on July 13, 2017. Three Pop Up Engagement Workshops Pop Up workshops were held at the Edina Farmer’s Market, Jerry’s Foods, and Bredesen Park the week of August 13th, 2017. Listening Session A Listening Session was held at Edina High School on September 20, 2017. Online Survey and Mapping An online survey and mapping activity were available online from June- September 2017. ENGAGEMENT PROCESS 1 Open House & Workshop 1Listening Session 1Online Survey & MappingPop-ups Events3 Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-2 Engagement activities yielded a rich variety of information regarding resident ideas and preferences for the future experience of people walking and biking in Edina. This Engagement Report summarizes what we learned through in-person and online engagement activities. Descriptions for each individual event and for each type of activity completed is included within this document. 2. About this document B-3 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 3. What we’ve learned - Overall Key Themes This chapter presents a summary of all of the guidance received from participants through the principal tools used in this project. 3.1 By the numbers: Information Collected More than one thousand Edina residents participated in the project’s engagement activities, including about 40 participants at the Kickoff Open House and workshop, more than 90 participants at three Pop Up events, about 30 attendees at the first Listening Session, and almost 900 online participants (about 680 survey participants and more than 200 online mapping participants). In addition to hundreds of responses to ranking and multiple-choice questions collected at in-person activities and online surveys, we collected and analyzed more than 800 free-form text responses from both online and in-person activities to provide the foundation for development of the project’s vision and goals. In addition, almost 700 location-specific comments indicating destinations, assets, problem locations, and description of issues were collected through the workshops’ in-person map activity and online Wikimap and brought into a GIS database to help orient the work of the plan. 3.2. Overall Themes Several themes emerged from the information collected. In many cases, these themes match expected results; in other cases they point out new details about the experience of people who walk or bike in different areas of the city. Walking and biking in Edina are everyday, common activities Most project participants (about 85%) indicated that they walked or biked for recreation or transportation at least a couple of times per week. Public transit was an important destination for participants. There are many assets for walking and biking in place today Project participants recognized that there are many destinations and walking and biking assets already existing in their community - including parks, trails and shopping areas. Among participants’ favorite places to walk or bike were those that provided access to natural amenities and scenic views, like the Nine Mile Creek Trail, but also developed areas with commerce and amenities, like 50th and France. ...but there is a need to improve facilities Lack of sidewalks or bike lanes (or uncomfortable conditions for some of those that exist today) was mentioned as an important barrier to participants. Providing additional buffer distance between sidewalks, bike lanes, and moving cars (especially on arterials or busy roads) was mentioned by participants as a way to make walking and biking more comfortable and inviting. Difficulty crossing busy roads because of lack Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-4 of crossing signals, or walk phases that felt too short for seniors and others was mentioned as an important barrier for walking. Challenges exist near highways In general, participants tended to consistently identify difficult pedestrian conditions near Highway 62, Highway 169 and Highway 100. Typical issues included bicycle lanes ending near bridges, lack of pedestrian signals, lack of pedestrian ramps, narrow sidewalks, and difficulty getting across busy intersections in the alloted time. Because access to community shopping, transit, and other destinations often requires getting across these roadways, addressing issues of facility connectivity and safety will immediately improve the attractiveness or walking or biking in Edina, and may lead to increases in walking or biking for residents of these neighborhoods. Year-round maintenance for year-round walking and biking Wintertime maintenance was often mentioned as a deterrent to walking and biking, especially for elderly populations, and those with mobility impairments. Construction season was also mentioned as a hindrance when no pedestrian or bicycle route alternatives are offered during construction projects. B-5 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Existing off-road pedestrian and bicycle trails Residents enjoy the current trails because they offer a comfortable experience and safe connections to desired destinations. Off-road trails, such as the Nine Mile Creek Trail, encourage people to walk and bike more frequently. • “Nine Mile Creek Trail is awesome!” • “Love the trails! Good work.” • “Love the new bike trail. Can’t wait to have it finished.” • “I like being separated from the cars. The bike shoulders are dangerous.” 3.3 Sample of Comments Received for Key Themes Existing and new sidewalks throughout the city Current sidewalks allow residents to walk to many points of interest in a safe and comfortable manner (though it was also noted that several existing sidewalks need to be widened and better maintained). • “Our new sidewalk is wonderful - I met more people in 6 months of new sidewalk than 20 years in the same neighborhood.” • “More sidewalks exist so I don’t have to walk in the street.” • “Sidewalks are great addition to community especially in high density areas.” Nine Mile Creek Trail and the Edina Promenade were mentioned as assets to the city. 44th Street and France Avenue was noted as an important location in Edina. Assets: Things people love about Edina’s existing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-6 Construct new and improve existing sidewalks for pedestrians According to participants, sidewalks throughout Edina are sometimes inconsistently maintained or not provided. Participants felt this reduces safety for their travel and discourages more frequent walking to destinations. • “There are sidewalks that end - for example, the entire length of Benton Ave needs a sidewalk. The entire section of Hansen Rd up to Gordon Park needs a sidewalk.” • “Sidewalks/bike paths just abruptly end sometimes.” • “Asphalt chunks broken out of street, icy sidewalks at 50th & France & broken sidewalk tiles.” Opportunities: Suggested Improvements (sample of comments received) Improve safety for pedestrians at intersections According to participants, there is a lack of safety for pedestrians at intersections due to lack of visibility, inadequate infrastructure, and/or lack of awareness by drivers of pedestrians and bicyclists. • “Dangerous Intersections!” • “Crossing Vernon at Ayrshire and Hansen. It’s hard to cross turning left.” Develop a safer and more comprehensive bicycle grid According to participants, bike lanes in Edina are “too close” to the roadway, with no or limited barrier between them (or they are in the same shared space). Participants suggested that where possible, a greater amount of space between bicyclists and motor-vehicles be provided to improve safety and mobility, and that bike lanes be clearly defined and protected from the roadway to decrease confusion and potential crashes. • “Bike lanes too close to traffic.” • “[We] need separated bike lanes on France & York” • “Protected bike lanes or separate bike traffic” • “Shared bike/car lanes - dangerous!!” • Too many people I know get injured from cars. There needs to be more separation.” B-7 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 4. Materials and Process 4.1 Overview of In-Person Activities Four types of activities were completed as part of in-person engagement events completed for this project. Post-It Activities At the Public Workshop and Open House and Listening Session, time was alloted for participants to brainstorm answers to a series of questions and place their answers on Post-It notes. The questions were: • What do you LIKE about walking and biking in Edina? • What do you NOT like about walking and biking in Edina? • What can we do to make things better? • What does a successful Master Plan look like to you? Sticker Board Activity Sticker board activities allowed participants to rank their top barriers and conveniences to walking and biking. Participants were asked to select the “Top Five Barriers” that prevent them from walking or biking more often and also asked to select the “Top Three Opportunities” that would make walking and biking easier in Edina. Sticker boards were present at all of the in-person engagement events. Paper Mapping Activity Large maps of Edina were printed and placed on tables at the Public Open House and Pop-Up events to allow participants to identify: • Their current walking or biking routes • Routes that are dangerous to walk or bike • Connections they wish would be developed • Important destinations for walking or biking in Edina • Specific barrier locations that make walking or biking difficult The results of this activity were added to a GIS database and summarized for incorporation in the plan recommendations. Verbal and Written Comments At each of the engagement events, participants were able to write their ideas or recommendations on comment cards as well as speak to members of the project team. Verbal comments were transcribed and summarized with written comments to incorporate into the plan’s recommendations. B-9 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 4.2 Overview of Online Activities Online engagement was an important component of community participation for the plan. The City used its social media channels, as well as connections through its community partners, to disseminate online engagement opportunities. In addition, business card sized “mini-fliers” that included the project website were given to attendees who were then asked to share the online tools with their networks. The project website included two important tools for Edina residents and visitors to get involved in the project: • The online survey • “Wikimap” interactive map Online Survey The online survey included sections with questions related to walking and biking. Participants could choose to answer one or both sections. Survey results were compiled, analyzed and incorporated into the recommendations of the plan. A sample of the questions is listed below. • How often do you walk or bike to listed locations? • What types of locations should be prioritized for walking or biking? • What keeps you from walking or biking? • What would make it easier or more convenient to walk or bike? Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-10 “Wikimap Interactive Online Mapping An interactive online map (“Wikimap”) was developed and linked from the project website to allow interested residents or visitors to provide location-specific comments and ideas for walking or biking in Edina. Participants could provide comments and guidance regarding their ideas and experiences for: • Current walking or biking routes • Routes they would like to walk or bike • Unpleasant or dangerous walking or biking routes • Barrier locations for walking or biking • Important destinations in Edina • Ideas for improving walking or biking Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-12 B-13 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5. Summary of In-Person Activities 5.1 Results per Engagement Event 5.1.1 Public Open House and Workshop A community open house and workshop for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan was held at the Edina Senior Center, located at 5280 Grandview Square in Edina, on Thursday, July 13, 2017. The Edina Senior Center offers programs like speakers, field trips, classes, and sports leagues for local senior citizens. This workshop was advertised ahead of time through press releases, social media and the project website. It was open to the public, and was attended by approximately 40 people from the Edina area, as well as members of the project team. The workshop ran from 6:00pm to 8:00pm with a 15-minute introductory presentation taking place at the start of the meeting. The project team set up engagement boards and tables around the room where the open house was held. The boards outlined project goals, described a toolbox of potential pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements, and offered participants opportunities to highlight challenges that prevent them from walking and biking more often, and opportunities and changes that would make it easier for them to walk and bike more often. A map where participants could mark and identify walking and biking routes was also available. Cards with the website URL and QR codes were also provided to attendees so they could distribute the project website to their network and share additional opinions and ideas at a more convenient time. Activities included: • Post-It notes activity • Ranking “Top 5 barriers” that prevent participants from biking or walking more often • Ranking “Top 3 opportunities” that would make it easier for participants to walk or bike more often • Map exercises to highlight walking and biking routes, ideas for improvement, and locations of concern • Comment cards and facilitated conversation Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-14 Key Points • With 18 votes, “I feel unsafe around motorized traffic” was the barrier most often identified by participants. Additionally, the “opportunity” option most selected was “Increase separation between motor-vehicle traffic and pedestrians and bicyclists.” Many participants mentioned that they feel unsafe as a driver and bicyclist when there is so little space in between. • The second most selected barrier option was “I feel unsafe at intersections.” It was mentioned that many intersections have poor visibility for drivers and can cause serious accidents. • Many attendees also mentioned many popular locations throughout the city do not provide places for them to lock their bicycle. This deters them from biking to specific destinations more frequently. B-15 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.1.2 Pop Up - Farmer’s Market A Pop Up Workshop was held at the Edina Farmer’s Market at Centennial Lakes Park located at 7499 France Avenue in Edina, on Thursday, August 17, 2017 from 3 pm to 6:45 pm. The Farmer’s Market was selected as a useful location for the plan’s community engagement activities because it is a popular destination for Edina residents and was recommended by the Project Management Team and the Transportation Commission. It was also chosen as an important event to connect with community members who may not otherwise attend a public meeting. The Pop Up Workshop was open to the public and was attended by about 30 Edina residents and visitors, as well as members of the project team. Several other Farmer’s Market attendees declined the opportunity to participate in plan activities because they were not Edina residents. Participation was slightly lower than expected due to windy and rainy weather on the day of the event. A tent, table, and boards where set up alongside other market vendors. Team members engaged people as they walked from booth to booth. The boards outlined project goals, described a toolbox of potential pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements, and offered participants opportunities to highlight challenges that prevent them from walking and biking more often, and opportunities and changes that would make it easier for them to walk and bike more often. Cards with the website URL and QR codes were also provided to attendees so they could distribute the project website to their network and share additional opinions and ideas at a more convenient time. Activities included: • Ranking “Top 5 barriers” that prevent participants from biking or walking more often • Ranking “Top 3 opportunities” that would make it easier for participants to walk or bike more often • Map exercises to highlight walking and biking routes, ideas for improvement, and locations of concern • Comment cards Participants placing stickers to indicate their top choices. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-16 Key Points • In the “barriers” dot-board, the most selected option was “There are no trails, sidewalks, or bike routes where I want to go.” Several participants commented they would like to see more sidewalks in certain areas to improve connectivity and safety. Participants also stated that several locations offer sidewalks that are narrow, not sufficiently maintained, and/or don’t lead to desired destinations. • The most popular option in the “opportunities” board was “Increase separation between motor-vehicle traffic and pedestrians and bicyclists.” Participants suggested that protected bicycle lanes and sidewalks should be constructed to create separation between motorized vehicles and pedestrians and bicyclists. Participants placing stickers to indicate their top choices. B-17 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.1.3 Pop Up - Jerry’s Foods A second Pop Up Workshop was hosted at Jerry’s Foods located at 5125 Vernon Avenue in Edina on Friday, August 18, 2017. Jerry’s was selected as a useful location for the plan’s community engagement activities because it is a popular destination for Edina residents and was recommended by the Project Management Team and the Transportation Commission. It was also chosen as an important event to connect with community members who may not otherwise attend a public meeting. This Pop Up Workshop was open to the public and included the participation of about 30 Edina residents, as well as members of the project team. Several other visitors to Jerry’s Foods declined the opportunity to participate because they were not Edina residents. The Pop Up Workshop ran from 11am-1pm on a Friday afternoon. The project team set up a table, boards and a map near the entrance of the store to attract people as they entered and exited. Boards displayed project goals and infrastructure options, and offered participants several ways to provide thoughts and comments. A map where participants could mark and identify walking and biking routes was also available. Additionally, two sticker boards were available where participants could identify potential conveniences and existing barriers. Cards with the website URL and QR codes were also provided to attendees so they could distribute the project website to their network and share additional opinions and ideas at a more convenient time. Activities included: • Ranking “Top 5 barriers” that prevent participants from biking or walking more often • Ranking “Top 3 opportunities” that would make it easier for participants to walk or bike more often • Map exercises to highlight walking and biking routes, ideas for improvement, and locations of concern • Comment cards Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-18 Key Points: • The most popular suggestion in the “opportunities” board was “keep trails, sidewalks, and bicycle routes free of ice and snow during winter.” This would help more pedestrians and bikers to be active during winter months. • The next most popular suggestions in the “opportunities” board was “increase separation between motor-vehicle traffic and pedestrians and bicyclists.” Attendees mentioned that having the roadway and bikeway in a shared space felt dangerous and was not effective for their needs. • In the “barriers” board, the option most selected was “I feel unsafe around motorized traffic.” Participants commented they enjoy the city’s off-street trails, such as the Edina Promenade, because they connect to destinations in a safe, comfortable and reliable way. Edina resident sharing comments with a member of the project team. B-19 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.1.4 Pop Up - Bredesen Park A third Pop Up Workshop was held outside of Bredesen Park located on Olinger Road in Edina on Saturday, August 19, 2017. This location was chosen as an opportunity to attract morning runners, walkers, and bikers who already use pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and are likely to know existing challenges and assets, and was recommended by the Project Management Team and the Transportation Commission. It was also chosen as an important event to connect with community members who may not otherwise attend a public meeting. This Pop Up Workshop was open to the public, and was attended by about 35 Edina residents, as well as members of the project team. Attendance was higher than expected, and the workshop ran from 9 am to 11am on a Saturday morning. The project team set up informational boards and dot-board activities next to an entrance to the park. Boards outlined project goals and offered opportunities to provide feedback. The project team received written comments outlying specific challenges participants face while walking, biking, and driving in Edina. Participants were invited to engage in two separate dot- board activities - the boards outlined project goals, described a toolbox of potential pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements, and offered participants opportunities to highlight challenges that prevent them from walking and biking more often, and opportunities and changes that would make it easier for them to walk and bike more often. Additionally, a map to identify destinations, barriers, and currently used walking and biking routes was made available for attendees. Cards with the website URL and QR codes were also provided to attendees so they could distribute the project website to their network and share additional opinions and ideas at a more convenient time. Activities included: • Ranking “Top 5 barriers” that prevent participants from biking or walking more often • Ranking “Top 3 opportunities” that would make it easier for participants to walk or bike more often • Map exercises to highlight walking and biking routes, ideas for improvement, and locations of concern • Comment cards Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-20 Key Points: • The most popular “opportunity” selected was to “keep trails, sidewalks, and bicycle routes free of ice and snow during winter.” Many participants mentioned they are active year-round and want routes to be kept free of snow and ice during cold months. • The next most popular “opportunity” chosen by participants was to “increase separation between motor-vehicle traffic and pedestrians and bicyclists.” • In the “barriers” dot-board, the top option selected was “I feel unsafe around motorized traffic,” followed by “sidewalks, trails, and bike routes are not well lit in the evening.” Participants placing stickers to indicate their top choices. B-21 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 5.1.5 Listening Session - Edina High School A Listening Session is an engagement effort to connect with a specific focus population and receive their feedback. The project team held a listening session with teacher Jody Ramirez’s Introduction to Engineering Class in Edina High School on September 20, 2017 from 10:00am to 11:30am. The class was made up of 9th and 10th grade students, and was chosen as a way to directly engage with and inform Edina youth to receive their ideas and comments for the plan. Approximately 35 students participated in the session. A brief presentation summarized the focus and goals of the project. Facilitated conversation, including opportunity for spoken and written comments, as well as dot-board activities were set up to invite participation from the students. Boards displayed project goals and infrastructure options, and offered participants several ways to provide thoughts and comments. Two sticker boards were available where participants could identify potential conveniences and existing barriers. Cards with the website URL and QR codes were also provided to attendees so they could distribute the project website to their families and friends and share additional opinions and ideas at a more convenient time. Activities included: • Post-It notes activity • Ranking “Top 5 barriers” that prevent participants from biking or walking more often • Ranking “Top 3 opportunities” that would make it easier for participants to walk or bike more often • Comment cards and facilitated conversation Key Points: • Students mentioned that they enjoy existing sidewalks and bicycle paths because they provide safe and comfortable mobility. They also mentioned connectivity gaps to desired destinations. • The most popular comment selected by participants in the “opportunities” board was “keep trails, sidewalks, and bicycle routes free of ice and snow during winter.” • Participants most frequently chose “I unsafe at intersections” in the “barriers” board. Students commented that busy intersections are overwhelming and it takes a significant amount of time to cross. • Students suggested implementing more bicycle parking near popular destinations and widening sidewalks to accommodate group walking.

B-29 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 6. Summary of Online Activities Online engagement was an important component of community participation for the plan. The City used its social media channels, as well as connections through its community partners, to disseminate online engagement opportunities and build participation in the plan’s development. 6.1 Online Survey The project’s survey was posted to the City of Edina website in June of 2017. The survey was used to gather the public’s ideas and thoughts on existing barriers, potential improvements, and walking and biking routes they currently use. The survey included sections with questions related to walking and biking. The survey asked participants how frequently they visit destinations via foot and bicycle and to rank destinations where routes should be prioritized. Participants had the opportunity to rank the following destinations as priorities: • Recreation or exercise • Cultural, religious, or community events • School • Shopping • Bus stop or train station • Sports events or sports activities • Work • Visit friends or relatives • Bars or restaurants It also included questions similar to those used in the “opportunities” and “barriers” dot-boards to identify current challenges and potential improvements. Several questions included the same options that were available to participants at the in- person Open House and Pop Up events. At the completion of the survey on September 15th, almost 700 people had responded and completed at least a portion of the survey. More than 500 of those participants fully completed the entire survey. To review all the responses received, please see Appendix C. Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan | B-30 Key Points: • The top three barriers to walking were (1) a lack of trails and sidewalks to desired destinations, (2) feeling unsafe around motorized traffic, and (3) destinations are too far apart. • The top three barriers to biking were (1) feeling unsafe around motorized traffic, (2) lack of trails or bike lanes to desired destinations, and (3) feeling unsafe at intersections. • Participants most frequently selected that “closing existing biking and walking gaps by building more trails, sidewalks, and bicycle facilities“ would make it easier for them to walk and bike more often. • In the walking portion of the survey, “sidewalks, trails, and walking routes covered in ice and snow during winter” was an important barrier keeping residents from walking more often. B-31 | Appendix - The City of Edina Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan 6.2 Wikimapping Key Themes from the Interactive Map The project’s interactive online map (“Wikimap”) was posted to the City of Edina website in June of 2017. The map was used to gather ideas and specific locations for existing barriers, potential new routes, and popular walking and biking routes. Data from the Wikimap was pulled in mid- September, 2017. The Wikimap asked participants to locate: • Important destinations in Edina • Current walk routes • Current biking routes • Routes they would like to walk • Routes they would like to bike • Unpleasant or dangerous walking routes • Unpleasant or dangerous bike routes • Barrier locations for walking • Barrier locations for biking • Ideas for improving walking • Ideas for improving biking Over 200 registered users provided comments on the online map. The comments were downloaded for analysis into a GIS database and incorporation into the plan.

AT TAC HME N T S: Description Staff Report 2018 Hennepin County CDBG Funding CDBG Budget History 2013-2018 2018 Wes t Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trus t (WHAHLT) CDBG Application CDBG Income Limits Memo Resolution No. 2018-22 2018 CDBG Presentation February 21, 2018 Mayor & City Council Emily Bodeker, Assistant City Planner 2018 Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Resolution No. 2018-22 Information / Background: The CDBG Community Development Block Grant Program is a federal entitlement program administered by HUD who in turn, charges Hennepin County to oversee the distribution of funds to its communities. These funds are to be directed toward the improvement of housing opportunities and providing a suitable living environment for persons with low and moderate incomes. As a recipient of HUD funds, the County, and each community must affirmatively further fair housing. Hennepin County encourages all communities to be proactive by addressing impediments to fair housing choices. The use of CDBG funds to address local needs must be consistent with priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan for affordable housing, community development and human services. HUD mandates that no more than 15% of the city’s budget may be directed toward funding public service agencies with the remaining 85% addressing community development needs. In 2018 the process has changed slightly. In 2018, there is a single pool of public service funding for the entire county program awarded through a competitive RFP. A Selection Committee consisting of one representative from each Direct Allocation city (including Edina) and one representative from a consolidated pool City will review and decide funding awards. Edina’s preliminary 2018 CDBG budget allotment for planning purposes is $128,000 a 4.4% increase from the final 2017 budget of $122,652 due to an identified increase in poverty in the city. Once HUD establishes the 2018 CDBG budget later this spring, Hennepin County and its respective cities will be notified of any changes to the allotments. If a change in the budget occurs, a paragraph in the accompanying Resolution provides for Edina’s final 2017 CDBG budget to be readjusted without coming back to the City Council. Of the $128,000 total allocation, 15% ($19,200) is set aside for Public Services and $108,800 is available for other CDBG activities. The following agency is requesting 2018 CDBG funds. Please note that Public Services are not eligible for these funds. Community Development – 85 % of total ($128,000) budget = $108,800 After the $19,200 distribution for public services, $108,800 remains to be directed toward community development projects addressing the housing needs of low and moderate income individuals in the community. In years past, the Community Development funds have been distributed between the STAFF REPORT 2018 CDBG Recommendation Page 2 Rehabilitation of Private Property program and West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT). The Rehabilitation of Private Property program provides deferred repayment loans of up to $30,000 to make structural improvements to owner occupied homes with no more than 4 dwelling units per property. Eligibility for the program is based on a household income schedule established by HUD for the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. The income limits may not exceed 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Hennepin County facilitates this program and reports that currently, there is over $227,816 available in Edina’s program. While Edina has not made any new allocations to that activity in recent years, the fund balance has remained high due to a low amount of new loan activity and additions of program income from the repayment of outstanding loans. Due to spenddown timeliness requirements that HUD mandates for the CDBG program, it is recommended that money is reallocated to another program. It is recommended that all of the $108,800 community development funds be distributed to WHAHLT for their Homes Within Reach program which provides an affordable homeownership opportunity using the Community Land Trust model for income eligible homebuyers. It is also recommended that $152,000 in in prior year CDBG funds is reallocated to WHAHLT. Therefore, it is recommended that a total of $260,800 be distributed to WHAHLT. The Community Land Trust model removes the market value of the land from the mortgage equation, thus reducing the cost of a home for a work-force family by approximately 30-50 percent. This assistance makes the house more affordable than those on the open real estate market. WHAHLT owns the land and the homeowner owns the home. A Ground Lease signed by both parties defines and secures the roles and responsibilities of both WHAHLT and the homeowner, including, but not limited to a resale/recapture provision, and long-term rights and use of the land. One of the strategies identified in the Housing element of Edina’s Comprehensive Plan calls for the City’s commitment to fund and expand its financial and technical support of community land trusts. Attesting to that goal, since 2007, the City has provided approximately $1,028,199 in CDBG assistance to WHAHLT - aiding in the purchase, rehabilitation and resale of 12 Edina homes to income eligible buyers.

The application consists of the fillable form provided by you and two exhibits. They include – Exhibit 1 – Proposed Preliminary Sources & Uses Exhibit 2 – Community Land Trust and How it Works WHAHLT is seeking financial support from the City of Edina to accompany other matching funding sources to produce two additional affordable homes (14 th and 15 th) in the community of Edina, using the Community Land Trust practice. This application will enable HWR to continue to create and preserve affordable homeownership in Edina even as home and land values rise in Edina, using the community land trust practice, which allows homeownership to be affordable for work-force families. We appreciate the support the City has provided HWR in creating and sustaining affordable homes in Edina. We look forward to continuing our partnership in addressing the needs of affordable homeownership housing. Thank you for taking the time to review and consider our proposal.

Name of Primary Contact:Janet Lindbo Title of Primary Contact:Executive Director Primary Contact Email:jlindbo@homeswithinreach.org Primary Contact Phone:952-401-7071 Activity Information Activity Name:Housing Activities – Affordable Homeownership Amount of 2018 CDBG Funding Request: $260,800 Use of CDBG Funds (e.g. acquisition, rehabilitation, construction): Acquisition of land, rehabilitation of two homes to create and preserve an affordable home for a work-force family in the City of Edina, using the Community Land Trust practice, implemented by Homes Within Reach. Description of Activity: West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust (WHAHLT) dba Homes Within Reach (HWR) is requesting a 2018 CDBG award from the City of Edina, to match with other funding raised by WHAHLT to continue offering the program in Edina; creating and preserving affordable homeownership for work-force families. The major objective of creating affordable homeownership is to offer an opportunity for low to moderate income work-force households in becoming homeowners, which in turn adds value to the family unit, community and protects the investment of the subsidy made possible by multiple funders. Creation of affordable homeownership using the Community Land Trust practice is achieved by acquiring and retaining the ownership of real property, rehabilitating and then selling the improvement (home) to buyers earning less than 80% Area Median Income (AMI). The HWR Community Land Trust program removes the land value from the mortgage equation, creating initial affordability. The long-term affordability is obtained through a pricing formula that provides the owner with an amount of equity (35%), while ensuring the sale price to subsequent workforce low-to-moderate income households continues to be affordable and requires the homeowner to sell to another low-to-moderate income household. Creation of an Edina affordable home in 2017 Sold January 16, 2018 Page 2 of 8 The homes are made permanently affordable for work-force homeowners through contractual controls embedded in the Ground Lease. The Ground Lease allows the homeowner to secure long-term rights to the land. In addition, the homeowners have full use of the land and are responsible for the property and payment of all real estate taxes on the house and the parcel of land. The homeowner may sell his/her home only to a qualified buyer. The resale price based on a formula, which more than likely (based on market conditions) allows the seller to recover the original cost of the house plus a modest profit. Therefore, assuming the house has retained or increased in value, the homeowner who sells his or her home will get all of their equity (the amount of money that they used as a down-payment as well as all principal that has been paid) plus a percentage (35%) of the home’s appreciation (the amount that a home has increased in value since it was purchased). Please refer to Exhibit 2 –How the Community Land Trust Works. As a result, the Community Land Trust homes remain affordable for consecutive generations of homeowners, because the resale restriction is the subsidy retention and is tied to the home not the owner, ensuring the home continues to be affordable with each sale over the lease period, serving multiple families over the course of the 99-year lease. This recycling of funds from owner to owner ensures the home remains affordable for low to moderate income families over a long period. The housing project is funded by two sources of capital; proceeds of the sale of the home to a qualified buyer and the grants and in-kind resources awarded to the organization to cover the costs of the land, renovations and project costs. The proposed activity will have multiple matching funding sources to augment the requested CDBG award, which includes Hennepin County AHIF, Home Partnership, Metropolitan Council and Minnesota Housing funds. The chart to the right illustrates HWR matches from 2007 through January 2018. HWR& Edina Profile: The target market is households with 50% - 80% Area Median Incomes (AMI). The average homeowners AMI for homes sold in Edina beginning in 2007 is 61%, with an average income of $48,032. The median purchase price of the 12 properties purchased over the past 10 years is $253,250 of which the median land value of these properties were $132,500 and rehab was $36,582, with the earlier homes having less rehab costs. However, with increased funding requirements for rehabilitation and market conditions, median rehab costs are $45,486, since 2010.

What populations will benefit from the activity? As stated above, HWR's target market is work-force households with incomes at 80% or less of area median income (AMI). HWR was created to increase the number of homeownership opportunities that exist for working households in suburban Hennepin County. Please refer to the profile chart in the previous page, of those the HWR program has served in Edina since 2007. HWR supports work-force families providing essential services to the community and surrounding suburbs who typically cannot afford to purchase an entry-level home in Edina; such as custodians, teachers, municipal workers, retail staff, office personnel, food prep staff, customer service representatives and many more. Furthermore, the HWR CLT program provides stable affordable housing costs (moving away from the ever- escalating rent); which enables the homeowner to invest in endeavors that truly enhance the quality of their lives, such as education for the family, career opportunities, supportive health environment and the comfort and security of being homeowners. HWR program features of cost, quality and location of its homes has been and continues to appeal and draw interest from work-force households with low to moderate income. Impact on owning a home for HWR buyers is that it provides a stabilized environment for families and specifically children. This includes but is not limited to having their own bedrooms and or living space in their home, a backyard to play in and or a neighborhood with kids to develop friendships, access to multiple recreational spaces that are safe and provide family time and a stable environment to raise children. What community needs does this activity address? The Community Land Trust practice implemented by HWR, benefits and provides value to the community through preserving and rehabilitation of existing housing stock and provides a mechanism to invest in long- term affordable homeownership that protects the investment of the subsidy made possible by multiple funders. In many incidences, entry level properties are out priced for work force families who work or live in Edina and provide essential community services in and around the City of Edina. In 2017, the HWR median home sale was $140,000 and the median home value in Edina, according to Zillow Home Value Index as of December 2017 was $444,100 and the median price of homes currently listed in Edina is $594,450. Page 4 of 8 The HWR program expands homeownership opportunities, retains the community wealth; by making maximum use of existing buildings and the community’s infrastructure with younger households and provides a mechanism to invest in affordable homeownership and enhances residential stability and preserves housing affordability by recycling of funds from owner to owner. How does the activity address a goal identified in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan? Note: Specify which Strategy and Goal the activity addresses. HWR program meets the Hennepin County Consolidated high priority for offering homeownership assistance by creating and preserving long-term affordable homeownership to workforce families (80% AMI or lower) in the suburbs of Hennepin County. In addition, the program requires homeownership training by our applicants via the Homestretch Classes, which is another high priority of the Consolidated Plan and HWR works with homeowners when crisis arise and they need to participate in foreclosure prevention measures or other financial crisis. Furthermore, over the years, several of our families have members who are physically disabled have worked with HWR, Hennepin County and other non-profits to make the home accessible and barrier free for the disabled family member. How does the activity meet other locally identified community development needs? The proposed activity of creating and sustaining affordable homeownership in the City of Edina meets a community priority because of the challenges of providing affordable homeownership options and the need for additional suburban workforce housing since the price of entry-level properties are out of the reach for many essential workers who work and or live in Edina and the surrounding area. West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust’s Homes Within Reach program has fifteen years of experience providing scattered site affordable homeownership meeting multiple community needs, including the City of Edina; they include but are not limited to the following. 1.Workforce families provide essential services to maintain and sustain the infrastructure of the community. 2.Demand for living in the suburban communities has led to increased home values that have risen to the point that many single-family homes, despite their age, are not affordable to low and moderate income work-force families. Land values in particular have increased, making it difficult for developers to build affordable single-family homes. 3.The program preserves community resources through the use of existing buildings (preservation and rehabilitation of existing housing stock) and the community’s infrastructure. 4.The program enables new comers to join the community, support the investment in the delivery of the Community’s infrastructure and maximize the one-time investment in sustaining affordability. The purpose of creating affordable homeownership offers an opportunity for work-force families to become homeowners, which in turn adds value to the buyer and the City of Edina and protects the investment of the subsidy made possible by many funders Describe any community or private partnership support: HWR partners with organizations like NeighborWorks Home Partners, who administers a fix-up loan program for CLT homeowners and providers who offer credit counseling to assist prospective applicants who need to repair their credit in order to qualify for a mortgage through Community Action Partnership of Hennepin County and other accredited providers funded by Minnesota Housing. When homeowners are in a time of crisis, HWR works with homeowners and refers them to city/county/private resources to assist them with their challenges and needs. Page 5 of 8 Furthermore, HWR is working with Hennepin County and Sentence to Service program, to create additional CLT properties by purchasing tax forfeiture properties, rehabilitating the property by the STS program and selling the property to HWR, so in turn HWR can sell the home to a qualified buyer, using the CLT practice. HWR collaborates with the Minneapolis Community Land Trust with data collection and networking activities and continues to be a member of the Minnesota CLT Coalition and the Grounded Solution Network, where the organization works with its peers on lobbying initiatives, development of best practices, resources and products the CLT’s offer to current and future homeowners. The organization works with a team of consultants and specialized vendors that provide resources, expertise, services and collaboration to accomplish meeting the organization’s mission of transforming lives through homeownership.

A Community Land Trust organization is a - Nonprofit organization Formed to hold title to land to preserve its long-term affordability Receives public and private donations of land or monies, to purchase land on which housing exists or can be built The homes are sold to low-to-moderate income workforce families The CLT retains ownership of the land and provides a long-term ground lease to homebuyers to secure their rights to use the land The CLT retains a long-term option to re-purchase the homes at a formula-driven purchase price when homeowners later decide to sell & move. Two key components driving the interest in Community Land Trusts are A SocialComponent: Promoting homeownership for low to moderate income families A FinancialComponent:Protecting the public’s investment in affordable homeownership The Community Land Trust (CLT) is one vehicle that allows homeownership to be affordable for low-to-moderate income workforce families. A Community Land Trust (CLT) establishes affordability by removing the value of the land from the mortgage equation to create initial affordability resulting in savings of principal andinterest and in down payment and closing costs. The CLT retains ownership of the land and enters into a 99-year ground lease with the leaseholder-homeowner. Therefore, each affordable home will offer affordable homeownership to 6-9 families throughout the lifeof the lease. The CLT leaseholder-homeowner pays property tax on both the home and the land, and secures the rights to use the land via a Ground Lease. Federal, State, City and private contributions fund project costs - land acquisition, buyer assistance, rehab, and holding costs. A CLT ensures permanentaffordability of the home through two provisions found in the Ground Lease. The first is a pricing formula that provides the owner with a fair amount of equity (25%-35%), while ensuring the sale price forsubsequent low-to-moderate income households is affordable. The second provision requires the homeowner to sell either to another low-to-moderate income household. In addition, the provisions ensure the home continues to be affordable with each sale. A CLT leaseholder-homeowner receives benefits similar to non-CLT homeowners such as the ability to build equity, the federal mortgage interest and property tax deduction and the ability to pass on the lease interest and home to their heirs. The following Chart provides an example of how a Community Land Trust creates initial and permanent affordability (99 years plus). The example compares the difference in affordability after ten years under the CLT and conventional model. CLT Practice Affordability is made permanent through the use of a 99-year renewableGroundLease. The land trust model guarantees that every subsequent homebuyer willbeoflow-to-moderateincome. The investment is never lost. The affordability recycles with each new homeowner. Provides support for first-time homebuyers.

There are two primary factors to account for this difference. First, the land has been permanently removed from the speculative market. Secondly, the homeowner receives only a percentage of the appreciation of the home when they decide to sell. In the above example, the owner receives 35% or $15,648, based on a formula that is standard among CLTs (25-35%) across the United States, where the homeowner receives only a portion of the appreciation in order to make the home affordable for each subsequent sale.

Note that the first draft ordinance required a 100-foot setback from all residential uses. T his was to address concern regarding impacts on adjacent residential uses.

Commission Comments/questions/suggestions  Summarize vision/so the working group does not have to rely so heavily on the consultant.  Adding the Pentagon Park area to the Greater Southdale Area may be too much.  Focus less on what “we” do not like and more of what “we” do like. Strive to help prevent things we would not want in the absence of the working group and to foster things that we would not receive in the absence of the working group.  The Guiding Principles for the Greater Southdale Area have been a great step.  The work the Greater Southdale Area Working Group has accomplished has made a difference. The group has done a great job.  Look at planting seeds. A 40-year plan cannot be too prescriptive.  Stay the course Chair Olsen thanked Hutchinson and Nelson for all their work. VI. Public Hearings A. Ordinance Amendment – Chapter 36 Rooftop Restaurants & Conditional Uses in the R-2 District. Planner Presentation Planner Teague reported that City Council has authorized staff and the Planning Commission to consider a Zoning Ordinance to allow rooftop restaurants in Edina. Teague reminded the Commission that this issue was studied by the City in 2011. At that time, the Planning Commission recommended the approval of rooftop dining with conditions; however, The City Council did not agree with their recommendation and recommended that the City adopt an Ordinance that prohibited rooftop dining. Teague further explained that the proposed draft Ordinance Amendment would allow Rooftop Restaurants as a conditionally permitted use in all the Planned Commercial Districts to include conditions. Continuing, Teague explained that with regard to Conditional Uses in the R-2 District the proposed change was recommended as the result of the recent rezoning request from an R-2 to R-1 on McCauley Trail. The present language was created in 2010 to allow a home to be expanded or torn down and rebuilt where the first floor elevation was forced to exceed the first floor elevation of the existing home by more than one foot due to ground water issues. Teague noted this ordinance was created because at that time cities could not process variances in the State of Minnesota. After the moratorium on Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: Click here to enter a date. Page 3 of 10 processing variances in Minnesota was lifted, the City repealed this ordinance, as these proposals could be processed by a variance; however, through oversight the language was left in the R-2 District. Teague concluded that staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2018.03 subject to any revisions. Discussion/Comments/Questions  Planner Teague was asked the reason Rooftop Dining came into play at this time. Teague responded that it is the result of Lifetime Swim & Fitness moving to the Southdale Campus.  Teague was asked how rooftop parking was handled at that time. Teague responded that in 2011 parking requirements were suggested.  Teague was asked how or why the City chose the setback numbers. Teague responded in 2011 the condominiums at 50th and France were being constructed and the setback would prevent rooftop restaurants in that area. Teague acknowledged he does not know if there is a magic number.  It was noted that in the materials researched by City Staff that the City of Wayzata requires a hold harmless agreement, questioning if that would be something Edina should consider if rooftop dining is permitted. Teague responded that if the Ordinance were amended he would ask the City Attorney to review that requirement and apply it if necessary.  Teague was asked if he felt the primary objection to rooftop dining was noise. Teague responded that was one issue mentioned, adding it was an important issue. Lighting was another concern expressed.  It was noted patio dining appears to be permitted in all districts; however, if the City requires a setback for rooftop dining from residential properties could other restaurants loose a competitive edge if they are prohibited from rooftop dining because of setback requirement. With regard to the amendment to the R-2 district Teague was asked how that occurred. Teague responded that the proposed amendment was a housekeeping matter, adding as previously mentioned staff forgot to “take it out” of that section of the code when the moratorium was lifted. Public Hearing Chair Olsen opened the public hearing. The following spoke in support of rooftop dining. Joel Hildendorf, Edina Chamber of Commerce submitted a letter of support. Scott Ferguson, Development Manager, Lifetime Swim and Fitness. Commissioner Thorsen moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Strauss seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried.

Page 4 of 10 Discussion/Comments/Questions A discussion ensued on noise and how noise is measured and how the Ordinance would be regulated. Teague explained that the City of Edina has a “Noise” Ordinance that includes points of measurement, allowed decibels (day and evening), amplified or not. etc. Teague said the Health Division has the equipment to monitor noise levels and does so actively. It was suggested that the proposed Ordinance Amendment item c. “Amplified sound audible to adjacent property is prohibited” be replaced with a reference/link to the City’s Noise Ordinance. Teague further noted that the hours of operation are limited from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm., with a provision to further restrict the hours depending on circumstances. The discussion continued with the suggestion that parking requirements be added to the Ordinance along with and established setback. It was pointed out during the discussion that establishing a setback number from residential districts would create winners and losers and that setback number could be considered arbitrary. With regard to site and sound- screening measures could be suggested to mitigate the visual aspects of rooftop dining along with sound. The opinion was also expressed that establishing parking regulations could also be limiting. Continuing the discussion it was pointed out that the City encourages a mix of uses pointing out if the City establishes a set number with regard to setback from residential districts how would that work requirement in our mixed use areas. The City has set a course to create walkable, pedestrian friendly, vibrant neighborhoods and if an established setback number is set, would the City set itself up for variances from the setback requirement and would a setback limit mixed uses because of restrictions. Motion Commissioner Thorsen moved to recommend approval of Ordinance Amendments for rooftop restaurants and Conditional Uses in the R-2 Zoning District based on staff findings and subject to staff conditions to include: fully striking (3) a. The outside seating area shall not be permitted if located within one hundred (100) feet of any residential use at the time the rooftop restaurant is established and rewriting (3) c. “Amplified sound audible to adjacent property is prohibited” to read “will conform with existing City Noise Ordinances.” Commissioner Strauss seconded the motion. Commissioner Strauss seconded the motion. Commissioner Nemerov offered an Amendment to the Ordinance to establish a 100-foot setback requirement from residential uses and parking requirements. No second. Ayes; Hobbs, Thorsen, Strauss, Hamilton, Bennett, Berube, Olsen. Nays; Lee and Nemerov. Motion carried. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: Click here to enter a date.

Reports/Recommendations A. Sketch Plan Review – 5146 Eden Avenue, Edina, MN (former Public Works Site) Planner Presentation Planner Teague reported that the Planning Commission is asked to consider a sketch plan proposal to re-develop the 3.3-acre vacant site at 5146 Eden Avenue. This is the old Public Works site. As proposed, at full build out, the site would include: ➢ A 17-story, 193-foot tall, 157 unit apartment with underground parking ➢ A 3-story, 27 unit “artist loft” (affordable housing) apartment with underground parking ➢ A 20,000-30,000 square foot art center/active adult center ➢ A district-parking ramp with 430 stalls district-parking structure with a public park/amenity space area on top. This parking is not visible from Eden Avenue or Arcadia Avenue. ➢ Public plaza on the corner of Eden and Arcadia that leads to the public space on top of the parking. Additional access is available from the northeast and northwest corner of the site. Teague asked the Commission to note that the Southdale Area Working Principles were shared with the applicant. To accommodate the request the following is required: ➢ A Comprehensive Plan Amendment to increase the height maximum from 6 stories to 17 stories and 193 feet; and ➢ A Rezoning from PID, Planned Industrial District to PUD, Planned Unit Development. Teague concluded that as with all sketch plan reviews; the Planning Commission is asked to provide non-binding comments and direction on a potential future development request. Areas of focus should be on the proposed land uses, and proposed height increase in this MXC District. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: Click here to enter a date. Page 6 of 10 Appearing for the Applicant David Anderson, Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate, Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture, Inc. Discussion/Comments/Questions Commissioners raised the following:  Teague was asked how the Grandview area is guided. Teague responded that it is guided for mixed-use.  Teague was asked if there was concern that variances may be required. Teague responded it appears that the proposed row homes are too tight to the street; however, at this time the City is reviewing ownership of an easement strip along the west property line, adding if this easement is the Citys the row homes could be moved farther back on the site. Teague concluded that at final plans he could comment more on setbacks and variances.  It was suggested that the proposed area for the art and senior center could become more of a community center; which would add flexibility in services to the public component.  Teague was questioned about the function of the artist lofts; is there an “art interest” component to rent these units. Teague explained that the artist lofts are the affordable housing component of the project, adding it was possible some form of art connection or interest would be of benefit.  It was suggested that affordable housing units be introduced into the tower and that the site highlight and celebrate City gems such as the art center.  Teague was asked if this proposal satisfies the affordable housing component. Teague responded that he believes so; noting this is sketch plan and more will be known at formal application. A discussion ensued on where the money was coming from for the public component and who would own the land under the art center/adult center. Planner Teague explained all those questions would be answered by the HRA. At this time, the Planning Commission is being asked to comment on land use.  Teague was asked if the proposal as submitted met the Grandview Guiding Principles and Framework. Teague responded in the affirmative. Applicant Presentation Mr. Anderson gave a brief history of Frauenshuhs involvement with this project and reported that he was happy to be before the Commission with the sketch plan. Anderson introduced two members of the development team; Dean Dovolis, DJR Architects, and Terry Menarik. Mr. Dovolis delivered a power-point presentation highlighting the following: Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: Click here to enter a date. Page 7 of 10  Dovolis indicated that the site was designed to be porous to create clear visibility throughout the site to the green activity area. (upper level amenity space) (“hidden parking”)  The site provides Artist Lofts that would line the district parking structure with residential units along Arcadia Avenue. The lofts would consist of 27-units on three levels, fronting Arcadia Avenue. A portion of the units would provide an affordable component to the proposal.  1/3 of the site would be a market-rate residential tower positioned on an east-west street element (“woonerf”) The woonerf would be a shared street element intended to function both as access to the site and provide and east-west pedestrian and bicycle connection over the rail right of way to Jerry’s.  The 17-story residential apartment complex with 150-units on the northern portion of the site will offer views of the Minneapolis downtown skyline, it is proposed as a slender architectural structure that would provide a landmark element to the Grandview District.  The south portion of the site would contain the Edina Art Center and Active Adult Center.  The Art Center as proposed is 20,000 square feet and the active adult center consists of 10,000 additional square feet. Concluding, Dovolis said that in his opinion the public component would become one of the most unique public use environments in the City and Twin Cities Metro Area. Mr. Maynard highlighted the following:  Streets  Public Space (many uses of the field to include football, soccer, small art fairs, winder markets, etc.)  District parking resources  Pedestrian and bicycle linkage from Arcadia to Vernon Avenue  Connectivity and Walkability  2/3 of the site would contain public activities  Sustainable design features, adaptive technology and operations practices to include innovative storm water management facilities, water recycling, sustainable materials, overall energy plans and the sharing of resources. Bill Neuendorf, Economic Development Manager addressed the Commission and explained that the City held two public informational meetings on the subject site. The first meeting was on Monday the 22nd and the second prior to this meeting. Neuendorf said concerned residents expressed the following three trends and or concerns:  Building Height  Traffic  Concern that regardless of all the meetings, etc. that nothing will be done.

Page 8 of 10 Michael Frey, Edina Art Center General Manager, reported to the Commission that the Art Commission was very excited about this proposal. Frey said when considering a new Center for the Arts the Commission had three locations in mind; 1) Grandview, 2) Rosland Park and 3) Southdale Library Site. Frey stated their choice out of the three was the Grandview location. Continuing, Frey said this location is perfect and it is the front door to Jerry’s, an excellent site overall. Commissioners had the following questions for Frey:  Is the size adequate for programming. Frey responded that their focus in on programming adding in his opinion the art center with the adult center is a very good match and the size is twice what they presently have.  Frey was asked if he believes the space could be shared for other community functions. Frey responded the Art Center is a very busy facility that is open from 9:00 am to 9:30 pm. The Art Center also hosts many events over weekends. A brief discussion ensued on financial aspects of the Art and Senior Center. Commissioners shared the following:  It appears the Artist Lofts only have windows on one side. Dovolis responded in the affirmative.  A question was raised on if parking would be adequate for the public functions. Dovolis said a traffic and parking study would be done; however, tentatively they believe parking would be adequate.  It was suggested that the site could be better tied to Jerry’s. Dovolis acknowledged that the site was a tough site to design for because of the topography and the train tracks; however, he believes what is proposed would work well and makes an investment to the public realm.  Have the Art Center be the key component for the site.  Consider adding affordable housing into the tower; do not like the separation of affordable units. Concern about an affordable housing being focused on artists instead of people with families and average incomes, such as Edina teachers, police and fire fighters.  It was expressed that the location of the proposed tower was very good, lending itself well to the site and the topography.  Great idea in wrapping the garage - creating a flexible active space.  Placement of the Adult Center with the Art Center was a good thought - it was pointed out that the adult population is the fastest growing in Edina.  Consider being bold, have the development make a statement that this is the Grandview area. Make it a “grand view” for everyone.  Great public space. The public is gaining great space.  Incorporate if possible more space that is commercial; get a buzz going on what is offered in this area. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: Click here to enter a date. Page 9 of 10  Concern was expressed on labeling the public piece the Art Center/Adult Center; how about a community center; broaden the audience.  Consider adding an active roof on the apartment tower; consider a restaurant at the top.  Consider condominiums vs. apartments. Dovolis responded that they are considering long-term leases with interior options chosen by the renter.  Make sure that the traffic flow and way finding is clearly marked for all modes of transportation, vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle.  The amenity of the large outdoor area was applauded, excellent space; get the word out on this amenity. Dovolis agreed that the outdoor area was terrific, adding it is the size of a football field. Dovolis said that in his opinion this area would be used year round. Dovolis said they were also considering a screen wall along the west lot line that could be used for outdoor movies, climbing wall, and different activities. Dovolis said that “use” ideas for this area are in the beginning stages because plans are not finalized. Ownership of the easement is also unknown.  The separation of elements and different housing types was desirable and a good fit for this difficult site.  Good example of “give to get”; noting that with the building height the City gained public space to include large green spaces.  Consider looking at incorporating a health and wellness component into the site.  It is important for the public to understand that this project if approved was an accumulation of years of work.  It was pointed out that “food hall” was mentioned as a use. What would that look like. Dovolis responded that his thinking was that food trucks could be positioned throughout the site for certain events, or for just food events; pointing out vehicle access is good.  It was expressed that this area is a great space to add building height.  Consider looking into the driveway area off Arcadia; in the winter it could become an issue with the sidewalk.  It was suggested that a shadow study be done by the time of formal application, although the development is attractive, reviewing the impact of shadows will be needed before being in favor of the project. Dovolis responded that would be accomplished prior to formal application.  Consider a risk analysis on if this is the best and highest use of the site. Bill Neuendorf explained that at first this site was proposed to be sold to fund the new public works site; however, the City found that residents would appreciate keeping City property for its residents.  Commissioners suggested that when a formal application is submitted that it have more detailed plans on storm water management and sustainability. It is also important to retain the park and ride. Look into the surface parking for the art center, is it adequate, is it defined well enough. Dovolis said the Art Center does need some convenient surface parking spaces. Dovolis said they could look into enhancing those spaces.  It was suggested that at the time of formal application that plans are provided that show connectivity to everything; Jerry’s City Hall, everything.

Chair Olsen thanked the applicants for their proposal. B. Comprehensive Plan Update – Status/Check-in Commissioner Lee informed the Commission that she suggested that Comprehensive Plan Update Status/Check-in be added as an agenda item during the Comprehensive Plan process. She said this standing update would keep all Commissioners abreast of the ongoing work of the small area plans. Commissioner Lee reported that 70th and Cahill is progressing, adding they are in the process of proposing different scenarios for the area. Lee said they are also documenting comments and feedback. Concluding, Lee said the Commission needs to flesh out time lines; noting the 50th and France Small Area Plan has not begun. Lee further reminded Commissioners that the small area plan process could take up to six months. Commissioner Berube said they are ending their work on the 44th& France Small Area Plan. Notes are being consolidated and an executive summary is being completed. Berube said the public review process would begin in February with the hopes of a firm plan being presented to the Commission and Council sometime in March. Chair Olsen said members from the Greater Southdale Area Small Area Plan previously presented an update. C. Greater Southdale Area Work Group – Add a Planning Commission Member to the Work Group. Chair Olsen reminded Commissioners that Commissioner Hobbs would be leaving the Commission and recommended that Ian Nemerov replace Commissioner Hobbs as a member Greater Southdale Area Working Group. All voted aye. Motion carried. VII. Correspondence And Petitions Chair Olsen acknowledged back of packet materials. VIII. Adjournment The January 24, 2018 Planning Commission Meeting was adjourned at 10:30 PM. Jackie Hoogenakker Respectfully submitted City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 City Hall • Phone 952-927-8861 Fax 952-826-0389 • www.CityofEdina.com Date: January 24, 2018 To: Planning Commission From: Cary Teague, Community Development Director Re: Zoning Ordinance Amendment – Rooftop Restaurants/Dining & Amend the R-2 District regulations regarding conditional uses permits. Introduction The City Council has authorized staff and the Planning Commission to consider a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to allow rooftop restaurants in Edina. Based on the direction from the Planning Commission, attached is a draft Ordinance Amendment that would allow Rooftop Restaurants as a conditionally permitted use in all Planned Commercial Districts (PCD). Background Rooftop Restaurants. In 2011, this issue was studied by the City. The Planning Commission recommended approval of an Ordinance Amendment that would allow rooftop dining/restaurants as a conditionally permitted use in the PCD-2 and PCD-3 Zoning Districts. The City Council did not approve the recommendation; and adopted an Ordinance that prohibited rooftop restaurants. Primary concern was in regard to allowing this type of use in the 50th and France area so close to the 5000 France condominiums. Attached is the background information on that study, including memos, minutes, the Ordinance recommendation by the Planning Commission and the Ordinance adopted by the City Council. Staff has updated the survey from 2011 showing how other cities regulate rooftop dining/restaurants. Also included are the specific regulations from other cities. (See attached.) Based on the direction of the Planning Commission at the January 10, 2018 meeting staff has drafted an Ordinance for consideration. The following summarizes the Ordinance to allow Rooftop Restaurants in Edina: City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 1. Allows Rooftop Restaurants in the PCD-1, PCD-2 and PCD-3, Planned Commercial Zoning Districts as a conditionally permitted use. 2. Requires a 100-foot setback from all residential uses. This is a change from the 2011 Ordinance that recommended a 50-foot setback from R-1 & R-2 lots. This addresses the concern regarding impacts on adjacent residential uses. In the 50th and France area, neither the Edina Grill nor Salut would be allowed to have a rooftop restaurant, as they would not meet the 100- foot requirement. 3. Hours of operation are limited to 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. A provision is included to further restrict the hours depending on circumstances. 4. Amplified sound (speakers) may not be audible to adjacent property. 5. The Rooftop restaurants must be adequately screened from residential uses at the time of their establishment. 6. Liquor license is required if alcohol is served. 7. A fence or guard is required around the perimeter for safety, per the Minnesota State Building Code. 8. Lighting is permitted only to the extent that it lights the designated area. The following is the lighting requirements (Sec. 36-1260) referenced in the Ordinance: Sec. 36-1260. – Lighting All exterior lighting and illuminating devices shall be provided with lenses, reflectors or shades so as to concentrate illumination on the property of the owner or operator of the lighting or illuminating devices. Rays of light or illumination shall not pass beyond the property lines of the premises utilizing the lights or illumination at an intensity greater than 0.5 footcandle measured at property lines abutting property zoned residential and one footcandle measured at property lines abutting streets or property zoned nonresidential. No light source, lamp or luminaire shall be directed beyond the boundaries of the lighted or illuminated premises. Conditional Uses in the R-2 District This proposed change is recommended as the result of the recent Rezoning request from R-2 to R-1 on McCauley Trail. This language in the City Code is from 2010, and was created to allow a home to be expanded or town and rebuilt where the first floor elevation was forced to exceed the first floor elevation of the existing home by more than one foot due to ground water issues. This ordinance was created because at that time cities could not process Variances in the State of Minnesota. The Ordinance allowed sites with groundwater issues to be redeveloped with a Conditional Use Permit rather than a Variance. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 After the moratorium on processing variances in Minnesota was lifted, the city repealed this Ordinance, as these proposals could be processed by a Variance again; however, the language in the R-2 District was not stricken. That language caused confusion in the uses that are allowed in the R-2 District with the McCauley Trail proposal. Staff views this as housekeeping issue, as the language should have been stricken as it was in the R-1 District. Staff Recommendation Recommend that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2018-03 subject to revisions recommended by the Planning Commission on January 24, 2018.

AT TAC HME N T S: Description Planning Commission Staff Report Property Location, Narrative & Plans Resolution No. 2018-21 Planning Commission Minutes - February 14, 2018 Water Treatment Plant Site Plan AFO Comments Applicant Respons e To Southdale Working Principles February 14, 2017 Planning Commission Cary Teague, Community Development Director Site Plan Review with a Front Yard Setback Variance for Simon Properties and the City of Edina – Southwest Corner of Southdale Center (north of the water tower) Information / Background: The City of Edina is proposing to construct a 10,000 square foot water treatment plant north of the water tower at Southdale Center to improve the City’s water quality. The site is currently a paved overflow parking for the mall. The City holds an easement on the site for the use. This plant, known as Water Treatment Plant 5 (WTP 5) will filter and treat water to reduce iron and manganese to improve water taste and clarity, and reduce staining and sediment. A city owned utility building is a permitted use in all zoning districts. In October 2017, the City Council selected this site for the location of WTP 5. Features of the project include: To enhance the pedestrian experience along France Avenue, the facility includes a patio with a bench built into landscaping and planting beds, living walls, translucent panels that can be backlit with colors, and boulevard trees are planned. An education wall is planned on the north side of the building, where pedestrians can learn about the operation of the facility. The area is designed to generally activate the space with color and light and to educate and engage people at a pedestrian scale. The design includes a living wall on two thirds of the face, and a colored light projection behind glass that will evoke the sense of water on the remaining third. The lower portion of the light projection will include an LED screen that could be triggered by a pedestrian that wants to learn more to play a short segment on sustainability, low impact development and water treatment practices that are demonstrated by the site. Sustainable site features include the living walls, pervious pavements in the drive- aisle/loading area, and green roof design mean the site is “zero runoff” for greater than 99% of storm events. The plant design includes a high efficiency backwash reclaim system with plate settler and close attention to ongoing resource needs that also drive operating costs. STAFF REPORT Page 2 Delivery space for the plant is tucked between the plant and the existing water tower with an “estate” style security fence replacing the water tower fence to integrate a single secured space. The following is required for this request: Site plan review for the new building; and A front yard setback variance from 35 feet to 19 feet for the structure. (The setback from the travelled portion of France Avenue is 33 feet.) Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Future Shake Shack; zoned PCD-3, Planned Commercial District and guided CAC, Community Activity Center. Easterly: Southdale; zoned PCD-3, Planned Commercial District and guided CAC, Community Activity Center. Southerly: Water tower and future RH Restaurant; zoned PCD-3, Planned Commercial District and guided CAC, Community Activity Center. Westerly: Southdale Office Center; zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD), and guided OR, Office Residential. Existing Site Features The subject site is currently a paved overflow parking lot for Southdale. Planning Guide Plan designation: CAC, Community Activity Center Zoning: PCD-3, Planned Commercial District Grading/Drainage/Utilities The city engineer has reviewed the proposed utilities and grading and drainage plans and found them to be acceptable. (See the city engineer’s comments attached.) A permit would also be required from the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. Site Access There would be no change in access to the site. The use would generate very little traffic to the site; only staff for maintenance and operation. A plaza would be added in front of the building along France Avenue, and an educational wall created to add to the pedestrian experience on France Avenue. STAFF REPORT Page 3 Landscaping Based on the perimeter of the site, 12 over-story trees would be required. The applicant is proposing 11 on site, with under-story plantings around the building. There are existing trees on the site that are proposed to be removed to construct utilities to the site. However, these trees may be able to be preserved by directionally installing the utilities to not disturb the trees. The applicant has committed to saving the trees in the southeast corner if possible. Building Design The new building would be constructed with brick, stone and precast panel. (See attached building elevations and material page.) Materials vary on distinct sections of the building, and will be high quality, representative samples will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting. Signage Proposed signage is shown on the exterior elevations submitted with the site plan. The subject property is zoned PCD-3. Wall signage in the PCD-3 district is allowed to be up to 15% of the wall area of the wall the sign is located on. Based on those requirements, the wall signage shown is within the requirements of the code. Signage is shown for reference only.

FAR 1.0 of the tract Tract size = 80.4 acres or 3,499,610 s.f. .48 of the tract *Variance Required Variance Per the Zoning Ordinance, a variance should not be granted unless it is found that the enforcement of the ordinance would cause practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning STAFF REPORT Page 4 Ordinance and that the use is reasonable. As demonstrated below, staff believes the proposal does meet the variance standards, when applying the three conditions: Minnesota Statues and Edina Ordinances require that the following conditions must be satisfied affirmatively. The Proposed Variance will: • Relieve practical difficulties that prevent a reasonable use from complying with ordinance requirements. Reasonable use does not mean that the applicant must show the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Rather, the applicant must show that there are practical difficulties in complying with the code and that the proposed use is reasonable. “Practical difficulties” may include functional and aesthetic concerns. Practical difficulties include the small size and shape of this area caused by the location of the water tower and the existing ring road. The facility could not be moved back away from France Avenue to meet the 35-foot setback requirement because of the ring road. Simon properties have agreed to allow the City to utilize this area for the Water Treatment Facility. This site was chosen from several other options off site, in the Southdale area as the most cost effective. 2) There are circumstances that are unique to the property, not common to every similarly zoned property, and that are not self-created? Yes. The Southdale site is unique in the PCD-3 zoning district. It is the only regional shopping mall in Edina. There are no other 80 acre sites held in common ownership and zoned the same within the City. The area on the property is encumbered by the water tower and the ring road, limiting the setback options. 3) Will the variance alter the essential character of the neighborhood? No. The proposed building would not alter the character of the neighborhood. The building would be 33 feet back from the traveled portion of France Avenue. The new RH furniture store will be 50 feet back from France, as will the new Shake Shack to the north. There would still be adequate setback to allow a comfortable pedestrian experience along France Avenue. Boulevard trees, a patio and an educational viewing window would be added to enhance that pedestrian experience. PRIMARY ISSUE/STAFF RECOMMENDATION Primary Issue • Is the proposed site plan with the front yard setback variance reasonable? Yes. Staff believes the proposed plan and variance is reasonable for the following reasons: STAFF REPORT Page 5 1. As highlighted above, the variance criteria are met. 2. The practical difficulty is caused by the location of the ring road, which would not allow the structure to be located on the property without reconfiguring the ring road, and eliminating parking spaces for Southdale to the east. 3. The water treatment facility is a public utility need that will improve the water quality in the City of Edina. 4. Boulevard trees, a patio and an educational viewing window would be added to enhance that pedestrian experience along France Avenue. Staff Recommendation Site Plan with Variance Recommend that the City Council approve the site plan review and front yard setback variance from 35 feet to 19 feet. Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Site Plan with the exception of the setback variance. 2. The findings for a variance are met. 3. The Southdale site is unique in the PCD-3 zoning district. It is the only regional shopping mall in Edina. There are no other 80 acre sites held in common ownership and zoned the same within the City. 4. The practical difficulty is caused by the location of the ring road, which would not allow the structure to be located on the property without reconfiguring the ring road, and eliminating parking spaces for Southdale to the east. 5. The water treatment facility is a public utility need that will improve the water quality in the City of Edina. 6. Boulevard trees, a patio and an educational viewing window would be added to enhance that pedestrian experience along France Avenue. Approval of the site plan & variance is subject to the following conditions: 1. Subject to staff approval, the site must be developed and maintained in substantial conformance with the following plans, unless modified by the conditions below: STAFF REPORT Page 6 • Site plan date stamped January 19, 2018. • Grading plan date stamped January 19, 20187. • Landscaping plan date stamped January 19, 2018. • Building elevations date stamped January 19, 2018. 2. Prior the issuance of a building permit, a final landscape plan must be submitted, subject to staff approval. Landscape plan must meet all minimum Zoning Ordinance requirements. The trees on the east side of the site shall be preserved if possible during construction. 3. The property owner is responsible for replacing any required landscaping that dies. 4. Submit a copy of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District permit. The City may require revisions to the approved plans to meet the district’s requirements. 5. Compliance with the conditions required by the city engineer in his memo dated February 8, 2018. 6.

Deadline for a city decision: March 20, 2018 RESOLUTION NO. 2018-21 RESOLUTION APPROVING A SITE PLAN WITH A FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE AT 10 SOUTHDALE CENTER TO BUILD A WATER TREATMENT PLANT FOR THE CITY OF EDINA BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows: Section 1. BACKGROUND. 1.01 The City of Edina is proposing to construct a 10,000 square foot water treatment plant north of the water tower at Southdale Center to improve the City’s water quality. The site is currently a paved overflow parking for the mall. The City holds an easement on the site for the use. This plant, known as Water Treatment Plant 5 (WTP 5) will filter and treat water to reduce iron and manganese to improve water taste and clarity, and reduce staining and sediment. A city owned utility building is a permitted use in all zoning districts. 1.02 In October 2017, the City Council selected this site for the location of WTP 5. 1.03 The legal description of the subject property is: Tract A RLS 1849, Hennepin County, Minnesota. 1.04 The applicant is requesting a site plan review with a front yard setback variance from 35 to 19 feet. 1.05 With the exception of the requested Variances, the proposed plans meet all minimum Zoning Ordinance Requirements. 1.06 On February 14, 2018, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed Site Plan and Variances subject to findings and conditions. Vote: 8 Ayes and 0 Nays. 1.07 On February 21, 2018 the City Council held a public hearing and reviewed the application. Section 2. FINDINGS 2.01 The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Site Plan with the exception of the setback variance. 2.02 The findings for a variance are met. RESOLUTION NO. 2018-21 Page two 2.03 The Southdale site is unique in the PCD-3 zoning district. It is the only regional shopping mall in Edina.

RESOLUTION NO. 2018-21 Page two Adopted by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, on February 21, 2018. ATTEST: Debra A. Mangen, City Clerk James B. Hovland, Mayor STATE OF MINNESOTA ) COUNTY OF HENNEPIN )SS CITY OF EDINA ) CERTIFICATE OF CITY CLERK I, the undersigned duly appointed and acting City Clerk for the City of Edina do hereby certify that the attached and foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by the Edina City Council at its Regular Meeting of February 21, 2018, and as recorded in the Minutes of said Regular Meeting. WITNESS my hand and seal of said City this ____ day of __________________, 2018 _________________________________ City Clerk To City of Edina Cary Teague, Community Development Director 4801 W. 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 From Mic Johnson, FAIA Date February 19, 2018 Cary: At your request, we reviewed the Site Plan submission for the proposed Water Treatment plant underneath the water tower on France Avenue. Several aspects of this plan align with the planning and design ideas set forth in the Greater Southdale District Planning Framework –Phase 2 work effort. In particular, we note the following attributes: Landscape and seating. Sustainability. Stormwater Management However, we have a few comments related to the details set forth in the plan as they relate to the Southdale District Framework and some of the definitions about streets,setbacks and building form. We have characterized our comments based on the visual and written information provided by the City of Edina. France Avenue The request for a setback variation from France (from 35 to 19 feet) in order to accommodate the building on the site without moving the ring road around Southdale. This is not in keeping with the current Greater Southdale Plan of setbacks on France Avenue of 50 feet. 75% Transparency The intent of buildings facing the public realm along all streets in the Greater Southdale Area plan is to have 75% transparency to support an experience of engagement with all faces of building active, creating no backdoors. In the proposed building it appears that the building will essentially have a blank wall (ultimately covered in Boston ivy) facing the public realm of France Avenue. Although the building is proposed to have information and graphics describing the functional aspects of the water treatment process, this does not present the same public realm intent as transparency. Main Street The Greater Southdale Work Group has been working on a plan that defines the character and purpose of many aspects of the public realm within the district. France Avenue has been consistently described as Edina’s “main street,” looking to such precedents as the Champs Elysees, with a correspondingly high quality of architecture. We as a group have discussed that while infrastructure clearly is a necessity in the district, it should be hidden. Opportunity If the water treatment plant is indeed an absolute necessity in this location, then the design approach should be considered as both artful and educational, causing the creation of a work of art and an important piece of civic infrastructure. There are many examples where architects, artists and engineers have worked together to design creative works that serve a purpose that is both artful and functional while meeting the goals of the Southdale District Plan… and send an important message about the attitude and values of a city. Design Observations Why is the building parallel with France Avenue and not with the ring road creating more public realm space along France Avenue? This is an opportunity that should be considered. Building footprint in blue has been flipped and aligned with the mall ring road to maximize the public realm setback. 35 foot setback 50 foot setback Design Observations, continued Why is the building material brick and its form traditional “Utility Building” and not compatible with the iconic Blue Water Tower above it? The Blue Water Tower is both a utility and a visible marker within the Southdale District and as such the building below has a responsibility to match its district connection and the connection to France Avenue Why isn’t The “Water Tower” Water Treatment Facility considered a destination? Crown Fountain is an interactive work of public art and video sculpture featured in Chicago's Millennium Park. These artful elements are over a 2 story public parking facility. The fountain recycles 97% of its water. Can the building be more interactive and entertaining? The top of Target Tower in downtown Minneapolis is dual purpose. It provides an important mechanical space for the operations of the tower and also serves as a branding opportunity to distinguish Target and entertain those who look up. The 2 levels of mechanical space (36 feet high) is surround by 6 foot wide air plenum containing LED lighting. It is programmed to be varying colors or can display realistic images such as a fish tank, flying witches on Halloween, floating ornaments during the holidays or hearts on Valentine’s Day. Can the architecture be more distinctive? Where are the images used to inform, inspire and create an unique brand for utility buildings within the France Avenue public realm that shape the decisions by the design team ? (Images below are provided for example only, projects by others.) Design Observations, continued Why can’t the Southdale Water Treatment Facility be designed as a destination? Millennium Park is a great destination. Built over train tracks, freeways, utilities and parking, it was a difficult design problem but the solution has proved to be a great catalyst as a city wide destination for entertainment and also a primary driver in renewed development around the park. The Water Tower site is obviously of a much different scale than Millennium Park, but when considering the public realm opportunities along France Avenue and the broader districtwide goals of creating a walkable, engaging, experience-rich destination, Millennium Park provides a good inspiration. The Water Treatment project offers the opportunity for the City of Edina to create an exciting experience along France Avenue that could stimulate development across the street and perhaps on the Southdale Center itself. The Water Tower site is small but significant within the larger context of the Greater Southdale District. Providing an engaging experience for pedestrians and those who drive by is an opportunity that should not be missed by the City of Edina. We also have a few comments related to General Considerations for the City as it relates to the Southdale District: 1.France and York are 100’ wide streets with a guideline for 50’ setbacks. Height is not an issue with regard to impact on the public realm on these streets. 2.Transparency is essential to a continuous and safe public realm. Solid walls do not support a positive outcome. 3.The Water Tower Corner (W69th and France Avenue) is has been looked at as one of the transformational corners in the district. Consideration for iconic structures or destinations should be considered as a primary focus in the design process. Thank you for the opportunity to review. Please let me know if you have any questions. Mic Architecture Field Office DATE: February 21, 2018 TO: Cary Teague – Community Development Director CC: Chad Millner, PE – Director of Engineering FROM: Ross Bintner, PE – Engineering Services Manager RE: Southdale Area Working Principles and Supporting Question Response The purpose of this memorandum is describe how Water Treatment Plant 5 aligns with Southdale Area principles and supplements the application materials for setback variance. Give to Get, Plan and Process Allow latitude to gain tangible and intangible outcomes aligned with the district principles. The proposed Southdale Water Plant will be a visible element of an infrastructure that is nearly invisible but central to modern life. The plant architecture will allow an industrial use to be a good neighbor and community asset while demonstrating sustainability and stormwater, and celebrating and educating about the central role of water in life. The preliminary report provided analysis of 4 potential sites, and 2 options for the Southdale site. Staff recommended and Council elected to proceed with this site. Edina Cultural Preferences; Identity Advance quality through thoughtful and artful design of buildings and publicly accessible spaces, highlighted human activity, and enhanced economic vibrancy. The building is proposed to be created with high quality materials and finishes, compliment the public walk, and extend access into the Southdale mall site. Infrastructure systems are long lived and while much of the Southdale district will grow around this site, this facility will be providing clean and safe water to the growing area. District Function Look beyond baseline utilitarian functions of a single site to create mutually supportive and forward-looking infrastructure sustaining the district. The Southdale area was built in a time before modern stormwater standards and the site use is currently part of that sea of asphalt, used as an overflow parking lot. The ‘zero-runoff’ design includes pervious pavements and green roof that will be restorative, improving flood protection and clean surface water outcomes. Comprehensive Connections; Movement Foster a logical, safe, inviting and expansive public realm facilitating movement of people within and to the district. The site is boarder on the west, north and east by repurposed and new sidewalk. On the west face, the France Avenue sidewalk is abutted by a new patio area with seating built in to planter beds and a living wall. On the north face a drinking fountain and educational feature provide amenities to enrich the public space. On the east face an extension of sidewalk provides access into the Southdale block and a crossing of the Ring Road. Site Design; Transitions Encourage parcel-appropriate intensities promoting harmonious and interactive relationships without “leftover” spaces on sites. The easement area to construct this plant is rather limited, and the plant is tucked into the space with enough room for a secure entrance and loading area. Although it is a purpose driven use that can drive site layout and architecture, the site does a good job of using space adjacent to the water tower and intersection Health Advance human and environmental health as the public and private realms evolves. In addition to the flood protection and clean surface water benefit to the pervious surfaces and green roof, these surfaces and the living wall help to reduce noise and heat island effect. The facility includes a generator that is used to provide a highly reliable water source, and that feature runs very infrequently and has emission and sound controls to mitigate detriment to air quality. The facility amenities promote walking in the district. Innovation Embrace purposeful innovation aimed at identified and anticipated problems. The facility has security and internal uses that do not make windows on much of the façade possible or useful. To be a visually pleasing part of the landscape, lighting and landscaping play an increasingly important role for this facility. The facility walls will be gently lit to outline the building at night. The opaque glass will be backlit by color adjustable LED lights that will be synchronized with the France Avenue system that can be changed for special events. Land Use; Live -able Precincts Promote well-balanced aggregations of “come to” and “stay at” places focused on human activity and linked to an engaging public realm. The facility will have a very low occupancy with about 30 minutes per day, and one loading truck per week for deliveries. The public realm is engaged through sidewalk, landscaping and educational components. Economic Vitality Ensure every component contributes to the sustained economic vitality of the district and the community. Clean, reliable and plentiful water is fundamental to modern life and community quality of life. This facility will raise the profile of water use and give an invisible public infrastructure a place in the imagination of the Southdale district. Date: F ebruary 21, 2018 Agenda Item #: VI I.A.

As proposed, at full build out, the site would include: A 7-story, 85-foot tall, 135 unit apartment with 302 underground parking spaces. Units would range from 1 to 3 bedroom units. Ten percent (10%) of the unit area would be for affordable housing per the City’s Affordable Housing Policy. Retail & Office space totaling 19,000 square feet. Forty-four (44) surface parking spaces for the retail use. Primary vehicle access points would be off France Avenue and Gallagher Drive. This access road would also serve the 7200 France site to the north to reduce traffic on 72nd, as has been recommended in previous development proposals for that site. The Southdale Area Development Principles were shared with the applicant. The applicant has responded. (See attached.) The City’s consultant for the Greater Southdale Area Plan, Mic Johnson will provide a review of the proposed project. That review will be sent to the Commission in advance of the meeting. To accommodate the request the following is required: Comprehensive Plan Amendments to increase the height maximum from four stories and 48 feet to allow 7 stories and 85 feet; and increase the density in the OR, Office Residential District from 30 units per acre to 80 units per acre; and A Rezoning from POD-1, to PUD, Planned Unit Development. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 As with all sketch plan reviews; the Planning Commission is asked to provide non-binding comments and direction on a potential future development request. Areas of focus should be on the proposed land use, the appropriateness of the proposed development on this site, with a focus on the proposed density and building height. COMPLIANCE TABLE While the applicant is proposing to rezone the site to PUD, the following table demonstrates compliance with the underlying zoning: *Not code compliant The proposed uses would be a significant upgrade to the current buildings on the sites. The existing parking ramp is in a very poor state of repair. The density proposed and height is generally consistent with densities and height contemplated as part of the greater Southdale area study; with higher density in between France and York, and lesser density on the edges.

The plans allow access for the 7200 parcel to take traffic to be away from 72nd and the low density residential area to the north and west; Underground and hidden parking; Improved pedestrian and vehicle access and connections; Affordable housing in the development; Pedestrian and bicycle oriented design would include bike and pedestrian paths through the site to connect to the north and along France and Gallagher. Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan could be accomplished as follows: Density OR Office-Residential No current examples in City. Potential examples include Pentagon Park area and other I-494 corridor locations Transitional areas along major thoroughfares or between higher-intensity districts and residential districts. Many existing highway-oriented commercial areas are anticipated to transition to this more mixed-use character. Primary uses are offices, attached or multifamily housing. Secondary uses: Limited retail and service uses (not including “big box” retail), limited industrial (fully enclosed), institutional uses, parks and open space. Vertical mixed use should be encouraged, and may be required on larger sites. Upgrade existing streetscape and building appearance, improve pedestrian and transit environment. Encourage structured parking and open space linkages where feasible; emphasize the enhancement of the pedestrian environment. 12-30 residential dwelling units/acre The City Council may approve a project for up to 80 units per acre through a PUD rezoning. Criteria to justify greater density includes: Addressing the City’s Working Principles for Development Building quality, use of podium or liner buildings, sustainability, pedestrian oriented development, additional public space and public realm, provision of more green space, underground parking, affordable housing, proximity to low density uses, utilities capacity, level of transit service available, and impact on adjacent roads. Floor to Area Ratio-Per current Zoning Code: maximum of 0.5 to 1.0 Floor to Area Ratio may exceed 1.0 on a case by case basis, subject to proximity to utilities capacity, level of transit service available, and impact on adjacent roads. Other desired items to allow greater density or density on the high end of the residential housing range above, would include: Below grade parking, provision of park or open space, affordable housing, sustainable design principles, provision of public art, pedestrian circulation, and podium height. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 The following are the recommended changes to the Comprehensive Plan regarding Height: 10. Building Heights. The question of building height is particularly significant in a largely developed community, where any new building has the potential to block views or cast shadows on established neighborhoods and land uses. The design guidelines above, as well as the recommended building heights in Figures 4.6A, 4.6B, and 4.6C, provide general guidance for buildings that exceed the typical residential height of 2.5 stories. The Zoning Ordinance has been amended to reflect heights recommended in Figures 4.6A, 4.6B, and 4.6C. The City Council may approve individual projects that exceed these height recommendations, through a rezoning to PUD or Variance. Consideration for exceeding these height limits shall include addressing and responding to the City’s Working Principles for Development; and meeting goals and policies outlined within this plan, including but not limited to building quality, use of podium or liner buildings, sustainability, pedestrian oriented development, additional public space and public realm, provision of more green space, underground parking, affordable housing, proximity to low density uses, utilities capacity, level of transit service available, and impact on adjacent roads. TRAFFIC A traffic study would be required to determine the impacts on adjacent roadways. The study should include an analysis of the housing density increase, which would replace allowed retail space. AFFORDABLE HOUSING Ten percent 10% of the total housing area would be dedicated for affordable housing, per the City’s Affordable Housing Policy. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN The applicant should provide greater detail in the sustainability of the project. LEED principles should be pursued. SHADOW STUDY A shadow study would be required to determine the impact of shadows cast by the tall building. WATERSHED DISTRICT The proposed plans would be subject to review and approval of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. PUD The purpose and intent of a PUD is to include most or all of the following: a. provide for the establishment of PUD (planned unit development) zoning districts in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a development pattern that is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; b. promote a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability, and general welfare of the City; City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 c. provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations in order to improve site design and operation, while at the same time incorporate design elements that exceed the City's standards to offset the effect of any variations. Desired design elements may include: sustainable design, greater utilization of new technologies in building design, special construction materials, landscaping, lighting, stormwater management, pedestrian oriented design, and podium height at a street or transition to residential neighborhoods, parks or other sensitive uses; d. ensure high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned; e. maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities; f. preserve and enhance site characteristics including natural features, wetland protection, trees, open space, scenic views, and screening; g. allow for mixing of land uses within a development; h. encourage a variety of housing types including affordable housing; and i. ensure the establishment of appropriate transitions between differing land uses. The proposed project would incorporate several of the items noted above. Elements that are included would be affordable housing, collaborative development with the property to the north, high quality building design, an increase in public/open space, and pedestrian oriented design. Staff Concerns/Issues 40 foot setback off France. Greater Southdale Area Study suggests 50 feet. Building does not step back in height toward the low residential property to the northwest. Should consider 8-10 stories on France and 4 stories on the west side. Architecture Field Office 2200 Zane Ave N | Minneapolis, MN 55422 www.archfieldoffice.com Cary: At your request, we reviewed the Sketch Plan submission for the proposed development at 7250 France Avenue South based on our experience working with the Greater Southdale Work Group to craft a physical vision for how their working principles may translate to the built environment. The proposed development does have a few attributes that support the Work Group’s vision, including: • The integration of outdoor public space. • Transparency at the street level. • Providing a mix of uses. • Integration of below grade parking. We also have a few comments related to the details set forth in the plan as they relate to the overall Southdale District Framework. We have characterized our comments based on the visual information provided by DJR Architecture. Site Plan and Streets 1. The proposed development does not seem to meet the overall setback goal along France Avenue. The Southdale Framework plan calls for 50’ setbacks along France Avenue. 2. The framework plan calls for the introduction of new intersections and future road extensions, and new streets. W hile the proposed development does attempt to address this, we don’t believe it meets the expectations of the plan for the following reasons: o The narrative describes future connections and synergy between this development and future development to the north, partially accomplished via the new street on the west side of the site. We agree that there should be a street however have significant concerns with how this “street” is being integrated into this development. o The proposed building overhangs the “street” on the west side of the site. The intent of the road on the west is to act as a woonerf – a street that is shared by peds/bikes/cars – connecting multiple buildings from north to south. The intent is not to introduce vehicular-only streets and separate bike/ped paths. This will be an important transition between the Southdale district and the neighborhoods to the west. To City of Edina Cary Teague, Community Development Director 4801 W. 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 From Mic Johnson, FAIA Date February 12, 2018 Architecture Field Office o Buildings that overhang streets negate future access by pedestrians and vehicles other than those serving the new building. o Driveways and streets under buildings are generally very unhospitable – cold, dark and unwelcoming – and perceived as unsafe for pedestrians. There are several examples of this in downtown Minneapolis. This demonstrates a “back door” approach to the site plan. 3. Access for below grade and ground level parking could be from Gallagher Drive, creating more open space. Alternatively, the geometry of the building could shift to open up the west side drive to the sky – supporting the idea of the Woonerf, connecting more buildings together for all vehicular access for both parking drop off and service. 4. Service access and service areas are not shown on the plan. 5. Addressing stormwater is necessary to the viability of development on this site. This is a baseline necessity, not an “innovation” as characterized in the narrative. 6. How does the proposed development address the 9-Mile Creek Regional Trail? Scale 7. The scale of the building along France Avenue could be 8 stories, thereby reducing the west side scale to 3-4 stories and better transitioning to the residential neighborhood context. This move would also create a more varied architectural form. 8. The north side of the building is a long, six-story wall and does not appear to meet the goal of creating a more refined grain with building walls of no greater than 200’ before changing direction. Since we consider buildings to have four sides facing the public realm, we would need to see the proposed north and west facades to fully understand how the building fits into its context. 9. The entry drive on the north side should be considered as a potential street to be shared by adjacent development to the north, thereby eliminating redundant roads. Identity 10. Buildings need to be seen as having four primary facades. This proposal shows two facades – France and Gallagher. 11. The material palette of the Southdale area has traditionally been stone, brick and precast. Recent larger buildings within the district have included metal panel as a primary façade material and the community does not like these buildings in terms of their color, flatness and execution. The material does not meet their expectations of quality. Program 1. The diagrams and location of primary program elements seem to be unresolved. The “stacking diagram ” shows office on France and retail/commercial on Gallagher. While the “floorplan level 1” and renderings show retail on France. If the office space is on France, there can be less hardscape with landscaping on both sides and a double row of trees. 2. If the parking on the northwest corner of the building is truly going to be considered as future retail/commercial space, the architects need to show how that space connects to other commercial space within the building, its impact on the north and west facades of the building, and its impact on the facing streets. Architecture Field Office 3. The rendered plan shows a trellis and outdoor seating with tables along Gallagher Drive. Is this intended to be private street level space for use by office tenants? We also have a few comments related to General Considerations for the City as it relates to the Southdale District: 1. Basic dimensions throughout the sketch plan should be provided to fully understand a proposal. 2. Diagrams of each primary level should be provided to describe how the project will fit in the overall district and how it will promote shared use of streets, and understand existing and future and service locations and access. 3. Primary streets should be identified as well as planned streets – dimensions, public realm characteristics, etc. should be described in more detail. 4. Renderings that are well detailed with materials should also indicate the level of quality of material characteristics on all four sides of the building. 5. Landscaping over above parking structures or below grade parking needs to be clearly identified. 6. Transparency on all four building sides is essential to a continuous and safe public realm. 7. Proposed new streets should meet the minimum of 60’ width. Less that that will compromise the continuity of secondary streets across the district. 8. Recognizing that a healthy and safe public realm is emerging in the Southdale district, continuity of the elements that make up the design is critical in both consistency and quality of materials and lighting. 9. New north-south connector streets on the east and west sides of the Greater Southdale District (adjacent to residential neighborhoods) are envisioned to carry pedestrian, bike, parking, vehicular and service loads, and are being defined as “woonerfs” for greater pedestrian focus. Thank you for the opportunity to review. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Attachments allow ed: pdf, jpg, png Janovy correspondence to City Council - HRA Board Feb 2018.pdf 50.35KB Feb. 13, 2018 Dear City Council/Edina HRA, A couple of weeks ago I wrote asking if there is anything anyone or any number of residents could say to influence you not to proceed with the “lid” at Grandview. These were sincere questions and I asked for a response. Thank you to Council member Stewart for leaving a message. Although we didn’t connect, I very much appreciate his effort. In your roles, you get no shortage of feedback from residents. They want to know your opinions and, probably more so, they want you to hear theirs. It has become clearer to me over the years that in matters related to development, density, and congestion especially residents too often are not being heard and understood. Resident input too often is mirrored back inaccurately and trivialized, and their motivations minimized. Residents weighing in on a topic can number in the hundreds, but have a tiny impact, and not because of their authentic importance. Your perspectives of the voices, and motivations in relation to them, have made them small. Over the years, I have seen this in action. What looks like self-importance. Assertions that residents elected you to make the decisions. The appearance that the role you embody is personal. Your views and instincts appear to lead in decision-making, inflated by the attention you receive because of the position you hold. What is so important to keep in mind is that they are not talking to you because of you. They are communicating with you because you inhabit a role and, in that role, you can affect their lives. There is a duty, I believe, to see this clearly and with humility. It can seem sometimes as though residents only speak up when they are against something. It is a hard position to navigate. On the one hand, reaching out to you may be the only chance they have to influence you to not make a decision that they believe will lead to a loss of something they value. On the other hand, reaching out to you is too often a wasted effort. There are a few things that get said reflexively when residents raise objections, such as to development. I have heard versions of each of the following from council members, staff and consultants: • People are afraid of change or don’t like change; • It’s the usual complainers who don’t like anything; • It’s the same old concerns that we have been told time and again by staff, developers, advisers or consultants are invalid; • They’ll like it, or at least get used to it, once it’s done; • They don’t understand it; • We know more and we know better; • We only hear from people when they disagree. Everyone we’re not hearing from agrees with us; • Maybe some residents don’t like the changes, but we have a vision for Edina and future residents will like what we’ve done. The thing these reflexive statements have in common is they dismiss the value of residents’ input, close the door to understanding, and virtually guarantee continued disagreement. When feedback is met with any of these responses, stated or implied, it is a waste of everyone’s time. It dishonors those who have earnestly and honestly shared their views. I don’t intend for any of this to be biting, but instead to be read as an invitation to shake off the appearance of self-importance and reflexive responses. Work on really seeing, hearing, and understanding the residents who share their diverse and nuanced thoughts with you. Let an accurate perception of them, their views and values, take a prized place in your decision making. There will always be differences of opinions, but in Edina these differences too often engender disrespect and conflict. The council does get unfairly criticized. You can be put in difficult spots. You work hard and give generously of your time. I get it, but still there are attitude and communication issues that need to be addressed so that there can be more understanding and more harmony between city officials and residents. Does the city council examine itself? Does it attend to its own culture and operations? Are there clear, defined and stated ethical standards that city officials individually hold themselves to and the Council as a body enforces? Some self-reflection and sharpening of Council policies would be greatly helpful. I would appreciate your response. Thank you, as always, for your service to our community.

Approval of Meeting Minutes Motion made by commissioner Jackson and seconded by commissioner Kostuch to approve the Dec. 14, 2017, meeting minutes. All voted aye. Motion carried. V. Special Recognitions and Presentations A. Greater Southdale Area District Plan Mr. Michael Schroeder and Mr. Michael Wolff gave an update on this plan. They explained that over the last two years of planning for the 700-acre site work included creating working principles that were done by a group of residents, Planning Commission members, business owners, and City Council appointees, plus two consulting firms. They discussed their outcomes, deliverables, and philosophy, including using the consultants as resources and not as leaders of the group – the plan’s framing is being developed by residents and not the consultants or staff. The plan is no longer a small area plan given its size and potential $20B of new development. The group is working to seamlessly integrate the area into adjoining neighborhoods. During discussion, they confirmed they are communicating with agencies that are impacted such as City of Richfield and their school district, City of Bloomington, Hennepin County, Met Council, etc. The EEC recommended they include more than resiliency in their plan and Mr. Schroeder said they are hopeful the EEC will put forward policy plans in the Comprehensive Plan that can be incorporated because the planning group will not get to go in-depth as it relates to energy and efficiency. Mr. Cornejo, a consultant added that he is also hopeful for a robust policy from the EEC because there are many opportunities to implement their ideas. The EEC members were invited to their next meeting, Jan. 25, 6:30-8:30, at the Chamber of Commerce, 3300 Edinborough Way. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: 02/08/2018 Handouts included the following: 1. Southdale: Potential District Approach to Sustainability and Resilience (1/11/18 DRAFT) 2. District Scale Guidelines Summary VI. Community Comment None. VII. Reports and Recommendations A. Comprehensive Plan Discussion Commissioners Lori Richman and Bocar Kane from the Edina Transportation Commission (ETC), were in attendance to learn what the EEC concerns are and how ETC could write their Transportation Chapter to support the EEC. Commissioner Richman said some of the things the ETC is looking at are autonomous cars, electric bikes and reducing surface parking. The EEC did not offer any specific goals but recommended they consider environmental principles such as emissions, protecting water source, plantings in median, amount of salt used, and natural plantings. Commissioner Richman said most of their recommendations are included in the ETC’s Living Streets Policy. She asked what was their biggest concern with transportation. Some suggestions were not to prioritize bike lanes that will not be used; do not remove parking and force drivers to drive around to find parking; west side of Edina is cut off from the east side (Vernon/50th/Highway 100) if you’re a pedestrian or biking; find a way deal with local traffic versus cut thru traffic; reduce service vehicles (deliveries and garbage trucks); consider solar or low energy lights; consider pervious asphalt to slow storm water run- off. Staff liaison Brown announced that Comp Plan consultants Mr. Dan Cornejo and Ms. Haila Maze, were in attendance to assist the EEC with their discussion. Ms. Maze handed out a list of topics. Commissioner Jackson shared with them what the EEC had drafted and there were overlaps in topics. For areas where the EEC believe they do not have influence, Mr. Cornejo suggested adding a list at the end of their chapter that shows how other chapters are related. They briefly discussed the importance of the first section of the chapter. Commissioner Jackson asked commissioners to write one or two sentences that they would like to have on the first page. B. Limited Liability for Certified Salt Applicators Ms. Brown said Council approved adding this time to the EEC’s work plan. Motion made by commissioner Waddick and seconded by commissioner Jackson to send an advisory communication to the City Council regarding a resolution on chloride contamination and the limited liability bill. All voted aye. Motion carried. VIII. Correspondence and Petitions A. 2018 EEC Meeting and Roster List Brief discussion – no action. B. Revised 2018 EEC Work Plan Brief discussion – no action. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: 02/08/2018 C. Working Group Minutes • Minutes received from Business Energy Efficiency and Conservation (BEEC), and Education and Outreach.

X. Staff Comments • There were 67 Home Energy Squad visits in quarter four, and since the article in About Town, staff has been receiving many calls. • There are two opened spots on EEC – think about what skill sets you’re looking for as you plan for the interviews at the end of January.
