on the Horth side of the service road which is mid-way between the pumphouse and
the end of the reservoir (at Dublin Road and W.70th St.), a transmitter, to be

request, as contained in letter-the large number of Club members living 5.n Edina;
rolling countryside which causes blind spots for present signal system; and an
area which incurs a large demand for service. 25r. Hyde told Council he had
suggested to Xr. Craig that perhaps a nominal rental fee would be in order, but
that Xr. Craig had pointed out that Automobile Club is a non-profit organization
and that this transmitter would benefit Edina residents. Nr. Craig presented to

VALLEY VIEH ROAD TRAFFIC COUNTS PRESEIYTED: COuiJCIL DETERMIHES TO KEEP "NO TURX"

for traffic counts on Valley View Road (given as result of a substantial petition
filed July 22nd asking that traffic moving West be allowed to turn right onto
Highway LOO), Hanager Hyde presented Mr, Wegner's report, dated this date.
Report was based on two
1963, while right turns were allowed onto Highway LOO, showing 3,356 vehicles,
the latter, between August 7 and August 11, 1963, while right turns onto Highway
100 were prohibited, showing 3,007 vehicles. These counts were compared with
counts taken in the summer of 1962, while Valley View Road was fully open and
Crosstown Highway had not yet opened, which showed 10,540 cars per 24 hours; in
the fall of 1962 when both Crosstown and Valley View were open, showing 7,200
vehicles on Valley View; in October, 1962 after Valley View Road was barricaded
at Highway 100, showing 1,000 vehicles per 24 hours, and in December, 1962, when
right turns were allowed, showing 2,203 vehicles per 24 hours.
reported the "1Jo Right Turn" sign was not installed until June 13, because it
was necessary to wait for special sign to be made up; that between this date and
the August reading, traffic had decreased only 10%; that the office has had a
great many calls complaining of the right turn prohibition, and that he can still
see no good reason for it,
businessmen of Valley View Road, asking that right turn prohibition be eliminated.
Xayor Bredesen asked Ur. Hyde when the Village may expect information about the
Highway 170. 100 Service Road; was answered that construction will not be for a
minimum of three years, to the best of Mr. Hyde's knowledge.
if the Highway Department has made a definite commitment on this, Ilr. Hyde told
Council that it seems impossible to get information from the Department relative
to Highway 100--that the Village has written and called repeatedly about both the
Valley View and the 70th Street intersections, with no results. He added there is
evidently some reorganization of District offices at at this time and Edina seems
to be in two Districts, neither one of which has full jurisdiction. Engineer
Vegner recommended that a letter be directed to the Commissioner, asking for
commitments on both Valley View (service drive) and traffic signs at the 70th
Street intersection, and it was so ordered.

Mr. Kirk cited the slight traffic reduction after installation of the
Wo Right Turn" provision, saying all of the residents East of Highway 100 and
South of Valley View Road are seriously inconvenienced by this prohibition; that
it is not right to inconvenience so many people for the benefit of the few
residents who would prefer no street at all.
Nr. Xutton asked that some thought be given to the families who must take
side streets to get onto Highway LOO without benefit of the automatic sema2hone.
Mr. \I. L. Ripley, who stated he lives across from Concord School, told
Council that from his observation traffic has increased quite considerably in
his area since Valley View signs were installed; that this is a dangerous place
for increased traffic because of the schools.
Hr. James Larkin, speaking on behalf of the petitioners for removal of
the 940 Right Turn" provision, called Council's attention to the many public
hearings at Council' lleetings, asking that, in view of the fact that traffic
counts are now in, the Council make its decision now. He added he believes
this restriction is diverting traffic to neighboring residential streets rather
than to the Crosstown Highway.
In answer to I4r. Kampsf statement relative to enforcement of the flIilo Right
Turn" provision, Iqr. Hyde reported that 47 tickets have been issued since signs
were installed, Police Lt. Merfeld was asked if engorcement could be intensified
at this corner; replied that police will do their best but that police are
called off their traffic duties for emergencies and other duties; also, that
they have other areas which must be patrolled. Mr. Dunker asked Idr, Merfeld
if, in his opinion, stop signs along Valley View would cut speed. Idr. tlerfeld
replied that, in his opinion, stop signs tend to increase, rather than decrease
speed because motorists become impatient at frequent stops. Asked by I4r. Lilja
whether radar had been used on the street, Mr. Merfeld was unable to make a
definite answer, saying there have been so many requests for radar he is unahle
to state definitely whether or not it has been set up on Valley View.
agreed that Valley View should receive a radar check,
Saying that considerable money and effort has already been spent in attempting
to train through traffic to use the Crosstown Highway rather than Valley View Road,
Nr. Bredesen suggested that the "No Right Turn" provision be extended to September 9,
for the purpose of seeing whether Valley View traffic can be further reduced.
replying to the statements of those asking for elimination of the provision, he
stated he realizes it is somewhat inconvenient to have to drive three or four
extra blocks each morning and evening, but that Valley View Road residents have
also experienced considerable inconvenience because of heavy traffic. He added
that while the streets in the neighborhood of Valley View may have experienced
some additional traffic because of diverson from Valley View, these streets still
do not have the traffic carried by such streets as Arden Avenue in the Country
Club,
