TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MINUTES OF 6/10/91 APPROVED Chief Swanson explained
that for item (1) of Section A of the Traffic Safety Committee Minutes, the
request was to discuss traffic safety concerns on Tracy Avenue between Valley
View Road and West 70th Street. This matter had been before the committee last
year. In May, Tracy Avenue residents asked for llSTOP1l signs to slow traffic and
to discourage traffic volumes.
volumes had increased and that approximately 50% of the vehicles were non-Edina.
A 3:l ratio southbound to northbound in the AM peak hours and northbound to
southbound in the PM peak hours indicated possible overload from Highway 62. In
terms of speed and accident history, no warrants were found for "STOP" signs.
The committee felt that a consultant should be hired to study the area for
answers to this and similar areas in the City. Todd Johnson, 6705 Tracy Avenue,
stated that Tracy Avenue is not wide enough for the traffic volume and "STOP"
signs would tend to discourage traffic.
A study by the Engineering Department showed
Member Paulus, reminded Council that the goal of the MN Highway Department is to
put traffic that cannot be handled on the freeways onto residential streets as
part of traffic demand management. She suggested that the staff person on the
1-494 Joint Powers Organization be asked for recommendation on the issue.
Smith recommended staff bring back a consultation proposal and cost estimate to
the next Council meeting.

For item (2) of Section A, the request was to discuss traffic concerns at Ewing
Avenue and West 57th Street. The Committee recommended the installation of a
"25 MPH" advisory sign for eastbound traffic and a "25 MPH" advisory sign across
from the park for westbound traffic.
For item (3) of Section A, the request was for removal of the "NO PARKING" sign
in front of 4622 Edgebrook Place. The Committee recommended its removal. Mary
Beth Chapel, 4622 Edgebrook Place, said the "NO PARKING" sign was requested by a
resident across the street who is moving so this is no longer a concern for him.
For item (4) of Section A, the request was for signing of West 50th Street at the
Edina Country Club to enhance pedestrian safety.
