No. Date Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 2 SUMMARY: The project involves reconstruction of local bituminous streets, replacement of existing concrete curb and gutter, installation of new concrete curb and gutter, construction of new concrete sidewalks and shared-use paths and localized rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer systems in the neighborhood. Due to proximity, storm sewer improvements and construction of a new concrete sidewalk will be included along France Avenue from West 58th Street to approximately Minnehaha Creek just north of West 57th Street. The estimated total project cost is $6,110,500. The estimated roadway project cost is $1,898,670; 80% of the roadway cost will be funded by Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds and 20% will be funded by special assessments at a rate of approximately $9,900 per residential equivalent unit (REU). Traffic signal system improvements amount to $319,780 and will be funded through a combination of Hennepin County and MSA funds. Utility improvements amount to $2,992,030 and will be funded through the City’s utility funds. Sidewalk improvements are estimated to cost $900,020 and will be funded through a combination of MSA and Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund. INITIATION: The project was initiated by the Engineering Department as part of the City’s Neighborhood Reconstruction Program, identified in the Capital Improvement Plan. The project complies with the City’s Living Streets Policy, as well as Vision Edina’s mission statement to “provide effective and valued public services” and “maintain a sound public infrastructure.” This project addresses updating substandard infrastructure with improvements associated with the roadway condition, watermain system, storm sewer system, sanitary sewer system and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: The West 58th Street Reconstruction project served as the pilot project for City of Edina community engagement program using a public participation protocol developed by the International Association for Public Participation. West 58th Street was also a catalyst for the City pursuing a more robust online engagement platform, now known as Better Together Edina. This engagement website was soft launched using the West 58th Street project as the focus project. The main goal of the City’s public engagement efforts is to develop a road design reflecting the needs and interests of the public. The project development and public engagement timeline included three stages: 1) identify stakeholder needs, 2) initial design alternative, 3) final design/concept. The engagement plan was bolstered by using the Better Together Edina website. The website allowed the public to participate in the process online the same way individuals participate at in-person meetings. Online questions and activities allowed the City to reach more residents and develop deeper understanding of the community interests. The website allowed residents to join forum discussions, provide design/ideas feedback, ask questions and stay up-to-date on the West 58th Street progress. LOCATION: The project includes West 58th Street and France Avenue. A detailed location map of the project is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 3 Figure 1: West 58th Street Project Area Map Figure 2: France Avenue Project Area Map Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS: Roadways The roadways in this neighborhood were originally constructed between 1937 and 1956 (see Photos 1 and 2). Photo 1: West 58th Street, west of France Avenue, 1940 Photo 2: West 58th Street, east of France Avenue, 1940 Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 5 West 58th Street between Wooddale Avenue and Xerxes Avenue is included in the City’s Municipal State Aid (MSA) Street system, a program administered by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). This program provides funding to assist municipalities with the construction and maintenance of roadways which carry relatively heavier traffic than local roadways. Maintenance records indicate seal coating was performed along West 58th Street between Wooddale Avenue and France Avenue in 1994, and between France Avenue and Xerxes Avenue in 2001. A mill and overlay was performed along West 58th Street in 2004. The majority of West 58th Street does not have concrete curb and gutter. The roadway width varies between 30-ft-35-ft (measured from the face of curb or the edge of the existing bituminous pavement). A recent geotechnical evaluation of the project area performed by Braun Intertec showed the roadway section varies from 4” to 7” of pavement over a silty sand and clayey sand base. An example of the current pavement condition can be seen in Photo 3. Photo 3: Existing Pavement Condition Traffic and Crash Data Staff measured traffic volumes and speeds at several locations within or near the neighborhood. Average daily traffic volumes within the neighborhood range between 2,246 and 3,598 vehicles per day with 85th percentile speeds between 32.2 and 34.8 miles per hour. Traffic and crash data for this project is shown in Appendix A. Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 6 Intersection Traffic Analysis WSB Engineering conducted a traffic analysis at the France Avenue and Xerxes Avenue intersections for existing and 2040 conditions and prepared a technical memorandum. The analysis determined the following: During the existing and 2040 afternoon peak hour, some traffic movements at France Avenue are operating at a poor level of service, indicating that the intersection is beginning to show signs of operational issues. During the existing and 2040 afternoon peak hour, the eastbound approach at Xerxes is operating at a poor level of service, indicating that approach is beginning to show signs of operational issues. The memo can be found in Appendix B. Multi-Modal Transportation Pedestrian Facilities There are no existing pedestrian facilities within the project area; however, there are sidewalks immediately adjacent to the project area on Wooddale Avenue, France Avenue, Xerxes Avenue and Beard Avenue, as well as a sidewalk on West 58th Street west of Wooddale Avenue and east of Xerxes Avenue. Additionally, there is a shared- use path south of West 58th Street at the entrance to Pamela Park (see Appendix C). Bicycle Facilities Substandard on-street bike lanes are present between France and Xerxes Avenues. Shared bicycle lane markings exist immediately adjacent to the project area on Wooddale Avenue and a shared-use path exists south of West 58th Street at the entrance to Pamela Park into Pamela Park (see Appendix D). France Avenue Traffic Signal The France Avenue traffic signal is owned and operated by Hennepin County. It was constructed in 1994 and is nearing the end of its useful life. The signal system and adjacent pedestrian facilities do not meet current ADA standards. The County wishes to partner with the City to replace this traffic signal. Public Utilities Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer system consists of 9” to 21” vitrified clay pipe (VCP) installed between 1946 and 1957. Additionally, a 24” ductile iron pipe (DIP) is used during peak flow events to divert wastewater from the sanitary sewer system to a storage tank on the City’s parcel on the north side of West 58th Street between Philbrook Lane and Halifax Avenue. After peak flow events diminish, wastewater from the storage tank is pumped through a 6” DIP forcemain back into the sanitary sewer system. The 6” and 24” DIP was installed in 1998. Historical records indicate there have been few sewer back-ups or blockages in the area (see Appendix E). Watermain The West 58th Street watermain system consists of 6” and 10” cast iron pipe (CIP) installed between 1946 and 1952. The 10” portion of the system has experienced a Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 7 moderate number of breaks (see Appendix E). Some of the fire hydrants are original to the street. The France Avenue watermain system consists of 8” ductile iron pipe (DIP) installed in 1947. No breaks have occurred; however, a large number of water service breaks have occurred (see Appendix E). Some of the fire hydrants are original to the street. A small number of homes in the neighborhood were constructed prior to the availability of municipal water. City records suggest most have had private wells properly sealed. Based on Utility Billing records, there are no properties in the project area that rely on private wells for domestic water. Storm Sewer The storm sewer system is located within the legal boundaries of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The system consists of 12” - 60” reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) installed between 1961 and 2000. There are relatively few storm sewer inlets and pipes located within the project area. Minnehaha Creek to the north serves as the outlet for the majority of stormwater runoff in the project area. Private Utilities Gas, electric, communications and cable utilities are present in the neighborhood. These utilities are a combination of overheard and underground facilities located between the edges of pavement, in backyards or along the boulevards. Street lighting consists of standard “cobra head” lights mounted on wooden poles located throughout the project area as shown in Appendix F. DESIGN INPUT: City Council 2018 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan This plan, part of the draft 2018 Comprehensive Plan, was developed to guide the City’s efforts to create a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. The plan guided the public participation at the early stages of the project. The plan had proposed a sidewalk and buffered bike lane from Xerxes Avenue to France Avenue and a shared-use path from France Avenue to Wooddale Avenue. This shared-use path would be part of the City’s Twin Loops facility. The plan also had proposed a sidewalk along France Avenue from West 58th Street to Minnehaha Creek. 2015 Living Streets Policy This policy balances the needs of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability and provide meaningful opportunities for active living and better health. The City will apply the Policy to all street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or change in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. The Living Streets Plan includes 15 principles to guide implementation of the Policy, divided into four categories: All Users and All Modes, Connectivity, Context Sensitivity and Sustainability. Below is a summary of how these principles are incorporated into this project: Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 8 All Users and All Modes – This project will improve mobility and access to the transportation network for a variety of users, including pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and the disabled. Replacement of the pavement surfaces and traffic control signage will enhance safety and convenience for all users. Connectivity – This project involves maintaining a transportation system that can accommodate all modes of travel. Existing right-of-way will be repurposed to provide new multimodal transportation facilities, which in combination with existing and planned facilities, will form a multimodal network within the neighborhood. Context Sensitivity – Engineering strives to preserve and protect natural features within or adjacent to construction sites where feasible, including trees, waterways and sensitive slopes. Residents within the project area were invited to participate in a robust public participation process soliciting input on project design components, including multi-modal transportation, street lighting and local drainage problems. Sustainability – Engineering works closely with Public Works to implement infrastructure improvements with consideration of life cycle costs and future maintenance. The new roadway section can be easily maintained long-term with the use of proactive rehabilitation treatments, which will significantly extend the life of the pavement. Reductions in impervious surfaces benefit water quality and may lessen the demand for chemicals to manage snow and ice (such as chloride). Construction operations are required to use the smallest footprint necessary to complete the work; this includes utilizing trenchless technologies, such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe liners. This project will also reduce inflow and infiltration of clean water into the sanitary sewer system, minimizing regional wastewater treatment, reducing the risk of sewage surcharges and limiting the risk of back-ups to residential properties. Relevant portions of the Living Streets Plan can be found in Appendix G. 2018 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan The CWRMP identified one major area of flood inundation within the project area for both the 10-percent and 1-percent-annual-chance flood event (also referred to as the 10-year and 100-year frequency event, respectively). It also identified flood inundation areas adjacent to West 58th Street that may be improved as part of this project. The first area was identified at the low point of West 58th Street at Pamela Park. (see Figure 3). Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 9 Figure 3: West 58th Street Flood Zone Minnehaha Creek and the ponds adjacent to Pamela Park primarily impact the backyards along the flood zone. Stormwater runoff from a watershed greater than 500 acres is routed through the stormwater ponds adjacent to Lake Pamela and discharges to Minnehaha Creek. The 10-percent and 1-percent-annual-chance events could impact 7 structures along West 58th Street and Philbrook Lane. An area adjacent to West 58th Street was identified at the 5700 block of France Avenue south of Ewing Avenue (See Figure 4). Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 10 Figure 4: France Avenue/Ewing Avenue Backyard Flood Zone A backyard depression area collects 1.4 acres of stormwater from the neighboring properties and discharges to the City’s storm sewer system. The 10-percent and 1- percent-annual-chance events could impact five structures. This area was recently part of a stormwater technical memorandum that was completed based on feedback from area residents. The memo, prepared by Barr Engineering, provided a detailed evaluation of issues and potential solutions. The memo can be found in Appendix H. A third area was identified during the 2019 Chowen Park A and B Street Reconstruction Project. A backyard depression area referenced in Figure 5 collects Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 11 approximately three acres of stormwater from the neighboring properties and is not connected to the City’s storm sewer system; 8-11 structures may be impacted. In 2019, storm sewer pipe was extended along Beard Avenue from West 58th Street to West 59th Street. A connection to the backyard depression area did not occur in 2019 due to disinterest from adjacent property owners and the lack of easements such work would require. However, the newly installed storm sewer pipes on Beard Avenue would allow for a connection to the backyards in the future. Figure 5: Abbott Avenue/West 60th Street Flood Zone (LP_24) The area between Concord Avenue and Wooddale Avenue along West 58th Street and the surrounding area has experienced flood problems historically (See Figure 6). Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 12 Figure 6: West 58th Street Flood Zone west of Wooddale Ave (MHS_59, MHS_26, MHS_58, MHS_42, MHS_53, and MHS_17) This low-lying area at Concord Avenue is drains through the existing storm sewer system east to Wooddale Avenue, north along Wooddale Avenue just north of Philbrook Lane, and then east until it discharges into Minnehaha Creek. However, when stormwater flows exceed the capacity of the existing system, water will pool along the roadway and in adjacent yards until it rises high enough to flow eastward along West 58th Street toward Wooddale Avenue. Metro Transit The METRO E Line is a planned bus rapid transit line that will provide faster and more reliable service in the corridor along Hennepin Avenue, University Avenue/4th Street, and France Avenue. The recommended France Avenue alignment runs between West 44th Street and West 66th Street. Metro Transit asks that the City and Hennepin County coordinate West 58th Street improvements that also considers potential E Line design elements. Hennepin County The County asks that the City considers the following project elements. The County understands that cost participation will likely be requested, and County staff is willing to following the necessary processes to gain approval. Traffic signal replacement (with the latest technologies, including flashing yellow arrows) Upgraded ADA accommodations to better serve persons with limited mobility Pavement and subgrade improvements (as deemed necessary) within the intersection as poor conditions will likely be realized once construction activities commence Staff Public Works A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Public Works Department. They support installation of concrete curb and gutter, as well as replacement of deficient watermain components (including fire hydrants, gate valves and water services). They also recommend the following. Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 13 Cured-in-place lining of two 21-inch clay sanitary sewer pipe segments between West 58th Street and Woodland Circle, and Replacement of the 8-inch watermain and associated water services on France Avenue between West 58th Street and approximately Minnehaha Creek just north of West 57th Street using a combination of pipebursting and open cut methods. Police and Fire A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Police and Fire Departments. The Fire Department supports watermain improvements, including adding fire hydrants as necessary to meet public safety standards. They also note that temporary fire hydrants should be of a consistent style for ease of access, and that emergency access should be maintained at all times during construction. They also noted the 22-ft street width meets MN State Fire Code but would welcome additional space for the aerial truck and/or structural support in the sidewalks for the outriggers. The Police Department noted the proposed change from available on-street parking west of France Avenue to no on-street parking for the entire corridor. Snow removal and snow storage was also noted as a challenge with the narrow street. Parks and Recreation A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. They support improvements that promote non-motorized transportation to and from Pamela Park, but expressed concern about parking and traffic impacts during construction, as the park amenities are heavily used from early spring to late summer. Engineering staff will include Parks and Recreation in discussions about final design and will communicate with them before and during construction to minimize impacts to park facilities. Edina Transportation Commission Prior to the Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) regular meeting on October 24, 2019, a draft engineering study was provided for review. The ETC noted that the proposed 8-ft shared-use path may feel uncomfortable to some users without a buffer and that bicycle commuters may be more likely to travel in the roadway rather than on the concrete shared-use path to minimize conflicts with vehicles in driveways. The ETC recommended that staff communicate with Metro Transit about future improvements at France Ave as part of the E-Line Bus Rapid Transit project. Relevant minutes from the ETC meetings are included in Appendix I. Residents As mentioned, this project has served as the official pilot for using public participation protocols developed by the International Association for Public Participation. West 58th Street was also a catalyst for the City pursuing a more robust on-line engagement platform, now known as Better Together Edina. The process created a Public Engagement Report that can be found in Appendix J. Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 14 In addition to the public participation protocol, the Engineering Department’s typical practice of notifying residents 2-3 years prior to a potential reconstruction project was also implemented. Residents were invited to two open houses between September 2017 and September 2018. Materials from these meetings are available upon request. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS: The proposed improvements acknowledge many of the comments and concerns raised by residents throughout the public participation process, while still maintaining the desired minimum standards of MSA, Engineering, Public Works and other City staff. Roadways Typical Section As part of the public participation pilot, an engagement report was presented to the City Council on July 16, 2019. During that discussion, a typical street section was approved as referenced in Figure 7. The typical street section will have a 22-ft width (measured from the face of curb to the face of curb), including two 11-ft driving lanes with standard bulkhead-style concrete curb and gutter. Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 15 Figure 7: Existing and Proposed Typical Section The bituminous roadways are proposed to be completely reconstructed to the subgrade. The existing bituminous pavement and suitable aggregate material will be recycled for use as base material in the new roadway where feasible. A minimum of 8” of recycled gravel material will be graded and compacted as the base layer prior to placement of 3” of bituminous non-wear and 2” of bituminous wear course. Unsuitable subgrade materials will be replaced as necessary to provide adequate support for the new roadbed. The reconstructed sections will meet the requirements of a minimum 20-year pavement design life based on projected traffic loadings. Turn Lanes at France and Xerxes Avenues The need for turn lanes at France and Xerxes Avenues was evaluated based on a traffic analysis and existing right-of-way availability. The following improvements are recommended: Provide a dedicated left turn lane eastbound and westbound on the W. 58th Street approaches to France Avenue. Provide a dedicated left turn lane eastbound on the W. 58th Street approach to Xerxes Avenue. Parking On-street parking will not be allowed due to the 22-ft width of the street section as referenced in Figure 7. Roadway Signage All traffic signage within the project area, including street name blades, will be replaced to improve visibility and reflectivity (see Appendix F). All new signs will conform to the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). 30-mph speed limit, no parking and blind driveway ahead signs will be installed. A Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon and crosswalk at Pamela Park near Philbrook Lane will be part of the project. Staff is also considering installing dynamic speed display signs as part of this project. Multi-Modal Transportation Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities At the July 16, 2019 City Council Meeting, it was decided that the typical street section would include: - A 5-ft concrete sidewalk with a 2-ft boulevard on the north side - An 8-ft concrete shared-use path with no boulevard on the south side The extra width needed for these facilities will be balanced between both sides of the street, where feasible. *The proposed typical section will be shifted south in various locations as necessary to minimize impacts to existing infrastructure. Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 16 Due to the proximity of the France Avenue storm sewer improvements, construction of a new concrete sidewalk will also be included along France Avenue from West 58th Street to approximately Minnehaha Creek just north of West 57th Street. These sidewalks will connect to existing and proposed pedestrian and bicycle facilities on West 58th Street, Wooddale Avenue, France Avenue, Xerxes Avenue, Beard Avenue and Pamela Park. Figure 8 shows all existing and proposed pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Figure 8: Existing and Proposed Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities All adjacent pedestrian curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet the current design standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Because West 58th Street is designated as a Municipal State Aid roadway, the proposed sidewalk and shared-use path will be maintained by City staff, including snow removal France Avenue Traffic Signal Staff is currently working with Hennepin County on a replacement plan for the traffic signal system. This would include the latest traffic and pedestrian technologies including video detection, flashing yellow arrows, ADA audible crosswalk push bottoms and new crosswalk pavement markings. Public Utilities Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer main has been televised, and portions will be repaired using a combination of open cut and cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) methods. These repairs will address the issues of sags, cracks and groundwater infiltration into the sewer main. The manhole castings will also be removed and replaced to reduce inflow and infiltration of stormwater. Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 17 Watermain Echologics, LLC was hired by the City to perform a non-invasive pipe condition assessment on the watermain within the project area, and staff has reviewed historical break data to determine the extent of improvements needed. Portions of the existing watermain along West 58th Street will be replaced between Brookview Avenue and Philbrook Lane using a combination of pipebursting and open cut methods, and associated water services will also be replaced. New watermain will be installed along West 58th Street between France Avenue and York Avenue to improve distribution and redundancy within the neighborhood. Additionally, along the portions of existing West 58th Street watermain not proposed to be replaced, those associated water services will be replaced. SEH was hired by the City to evaluate the City’s water supply system and prepare and overall Water Supply Plan. The Plan recommends the 8” watermain along France Avenue between West 65th Street to West 50th Street be upgraded to 12” to aid in system conductivity between water treatment plants and elevated storage tanks. Therefore, the 8” watermain from West 58th Street to approximately Minnehaha Creek just north of West 57th Street will be replaced with a 12” watermain using a combination of pipebursting and open cut methods, and all associated water services. All gate valves and fire hydrants within the project area will be replaced and, if needed, additional hydrants will be installed to meet current public safety standards. The new fire hydrants will include the Storz nozzle fittings desired by the Edina Fire Department for quick connection of fire hoses. As part of the City’s Wellhead Protection Plan, staff plans to engage property owners who have unsealed private wells and encourage them to have them properly sealed. Storm Sewer Based on existing conditions and the scope of utility work, new concrete curb and gutter will be installed throughout the project, providing a continuous, functional conduit for stormwater. The storm sewer network will have modifications to resolve existing drainage issues at various locations throughout the neighborhood. Some of the existing structures will be removed and replaced due to their poor condition or to new road geometry. Some structures may be installed with sump structures to collect sediment and debris before it enters Minnehaha Creek. Sump drains will be installed where feasible to allow property owners to connect their sump pump discharges directly into the storm sewer system. Barr Engineering’s storm water technical memorandum (see Appendix H) evaluated several long-term options to address the area of flood inundation at the 5700 block of France Avenue south of Ewing Avenue: Option 1: Lower pipe invert to increase capacity of France Avenue system Option 2: Option 1 plus additional catch basins in the low point on France Avenue Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 18 Option 3: Option 2 plus additional catch basins in the low point on Wood End Drive, and larger 18-inch pipes to Minnehaha Creek Option 4a: Option 1 plus diverting water from Ewing Avenue Option 4b: Option 2 plus diverting Ewing Avenue Option 5: Storm sewer backflow preventers between France Avenue and the backyards to the east Option 1 improvements have the most significant flood reduction impact for the three watershed areas. The additional catch basins referenced in Option 2 can be implemented at a minimal cost. Therefore, Option 2 is proposed along France Avenue. For Options 3 and 4b, it is anticipated that new storm sewer pipes will be installed along Wood End Road, Ewing and West 57th Street as part of future projects (as neither street is included in the project limits for West 58th Street or France Avenue). Staff has engaged in discussions with Barr Engineering to evaluate the following: The stormwater drainage coming from West 58th Street and Beard Avenue and to recommend the preferred stormwater flow direction. The storm sewer at West 58th Street and Beard Avenue will either connect into an existing system along Beard Avenue north of West 58th Street or pipe will be extended from the existing system at West 58th Street and France Avenue to West 58th Street and Beard Avenue. Extending a 21-inch storm sewer pipe along West 58th Street from the intersection of West 58th Street and Wooddale Avenue to Minnehaha Creek near Pamela Park to relieve the storm sewer system west of Wooddale Avenue. The modeled flood risk along Minnehaha Creek is regional in nature and influencing the flood elevation near Pamela Park cannot be addressed within the scope of this project. Staff will evaluate the existing drainage areas and if necessary, extend storm sewer pipes and inlets to satisfy MnDOT’s requirement to keep the vehicle driving lanes sufficiently clear of stormwater during a 3-year storm event. Private Utilities Staff met with representatives of several private utility companies on November 14, 2019 to discuss the proposed 2020 reconstruction projects and preliminary improvements. Portions of the private utility networks may receive upgrades prior to construction; however, this work is not part of the City’s project. Street Lighting Through the City’s public engagement efforts, residents said they were interested in street lighting improvements contingent on the potential added special assessment costs. Staff prepared estimated street lighting project costs and the estimated assessment amount increase due to potential street lighting improvements. On November 13, 2019, residents were asked to complete a questionnaire, soliciting feedback on street lighting, including the associated assessment amount increase, Engineering Study West 58th Street Roadway reconstruction BA-456 December 2, 2019 19 within the project area. The questionnaire was completed by 26 of 75 property owners, a return rate of 35%. The following is a summary of feedback received from residents: 12 of 75 (16%) favored no street lighting improvements 7 of 75 (9%) favored replacing the existing street lighting with one decorative light at each intersection and an increased assessment amount of $1,100 7 of 75 (9%) favored replacing the existing street lighting with one decorative light at each intersection, installing another decorative light mid-block and an increased assessment amount of $1,700 The street lighting questionnaire and responses can be found in Appendix K. Currently, the City does not have a standard to determine where and when street lighting should be improved. Unlike other infrastructure improvements, lighting can be installed at a later date with minimal disturbance through the use of trenchless technologies. The lighting in the neighborhood is sufficient to delineate the intersections; therefore, because of the sufficient intersection lighting and the lack of favorable response to replacement of the existing street lighting, staff is recommending no revisions to the current street lighting with the exception of one street light addition between Philbrook Lane and Halifax Avenue adjacent to Pamela Park. This is due to significant resident response during the public participation process to improve safety and visibility in that location. RIGHT-OF-WAY/ EASEMENTS: Existing roadway right-of-way in this neighborhood is 60-ft. It is anticipated that the majority of this project can be constructed within existing ROW. Many properties have vegetation, boulders, retaining walls or other landscaped items within the City right-of-way. A portion of these landscape items will interfere with some of the proposed infrastructure improvements and will need to be removed in order to complete the necessary work. A ROW permit from Hennepin County will be required for work that will occur at France Avenue, Xerxes Avenue, and along France Avenue to Minnehaha Creek. PROJECT COSTS: The total estimated project cost is $6,110,500 (see Table 1). The total cost includes direct costs for engineering, clerical and construction finance costs from the start of the project to the final assessment hearing. The estimated roadway project cost is $1,898,670; 80% will be funded through MSA funds and 20% will be funded through special assessments. Traffic signal system improvements amount to $319,780 and will be funded through a combination of Hennepin County and MSA funds. Utility improvements amount to $2,992,030 and will be funded through a combination of MSA and City utility funds. Sidewalk facility improvements amount to $900,020 and will be funded through a combination of MSA and PACS funds.

City staff requested that a traffic analysis be conducted to document the geometric and traffic control needs on W. 58th Street at the intersections of France Avenue and Xerxes Avenue. The analysis documented in this memorandum includes: reviewing the existing traffic count data; preparing future traffic projections, and; analyzing the lane configurations and traffic control at each intersection. Traffic Volume Data The existing traffic volumes are based on the traffic counts conducted by the City on June 15th, 2017 for the intersection of W. 58th Street and France Avenue and, on July 30, 2019 for the intersection of W. 58th Street and Xerxes Avenue. The attached Figure 1 shows the existing AM and PM peak hour volumes. The projected 2040 turning movement traffic volumes were developed using the existing Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes and the projected 2040 ADT volumes from the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The existing (2018) ADT volume on W. 58th Street is 2,100vpd and the projected 2040 ADT is 2,400vpd. Based on these volumes the traffic is anticipated to grow approximately 0.6% / year. This factor was used to project the existing turning movement traffic volumes to the projected 2040 conditions at each intersection. The attached Figure 2 shows the projected 2040 AM and PM peak hour volumes. Traffic Analysis The intersections were evaluated for the AM and PM peak hours using Synchro/SimTraffic micro simulation software. The software was used to evaluate the characteristics of the roadway network including lane geometrics, turning movement volumes, traffic control and signal timing. One of the primary measures of effectiveness used to evaluate intersection traffic operations, as defined in the HCM, is Level of Service (LOS) – a qualitative letter grade, A – F, based on seconds of vehicle delay due to a traffic control device at an intersection. By definition, LOS A conditions represent high quality operations (i.e., motorists experience very little delay or interference) and LOS F conditions represent very poor operations (i.e., extreme delay or severe congestion). W. 58th Street Intersection Analysis October 14, 2019 Page 2 The LOS ranges for both signalized and un-signalized intersections are shown in Figure 3. The threshold LOS values for un-signalized intersections are slightly less than for signalized intersections. This variance was instituted because drivers’ expectations at intersections differ with the type of traffic control. A given LOS can be altered by increasing (or decreasing) the number of lanes, changing traffic control arrangements, adjusting the timing at signalized intersections, or other lesser geometric improvements. LOS also changes as traffic volumes increase or decrease. Figure 3 - Level of Service Ranges for Signalized and Un-signalized Intersections LOS, as described above, can also be determined for the individual legs (sometimes referred to as “approaches”) or lanes (turn lanes in particular) of an intersection. It should be noted that a LOS E or F might be acceptable or justified in those cases where a leg(s) or lane(s) has a very low traffic volume as compared to the volume on the other legs. For example, improving LOS on such low-volume legs by converting a two-way stop condition to an all-way stop, or adjusting timing at a signalized intersection, could result in a significant penalty for the many drivers on the major road while benefiting the few on the minor road. Also, geometric improvements on minor legs, such as additional lanes or longer turn lanes, could have limited positive effects and might be prohibitive in terms of benefit to cost. The analysis results of each intersection is discussed below for the existing and 2040 conditions. W. 58th Street at France Avenue The existing intersection is controlled with a traffic signal system operated by Hennepin County. The intersection lane configuration includes: SB France Avenue – shoulder, one right/through lane, one left turn lane NB France Avenue – shoulder, one right/through lane, one left turn lane EB 58th Street – one right/through/left lane WB 58th Street – bike shoulder, one right/through/left lane Tables 1 and 2, below, summarizes the existing delay and LOS at the W. 58th Street and France Avenue intersection based on the current lane geometry, traffic control and traffic volumes. 80 55 35 20 10 LOS A LOS B LOS C LOS D LOS E LOS F Not CongestedCongested50 35 25 10 LOS A LOS B LOS C LOS D LOS E LOS F Not CongestedCongested15 Signalized Intersection Unsignalized IntersectionControl Delay per Vehicle (sec.)Control Delay per Vehicle (sec.)SOURCE: Level of Service thresholds from the Highway Capacity Manual, 2000. W. 58th Street Intersection Analysis October 14, 2019 Page 3 The tables show that the intersection is operating at an overall LOS B during the AM peak hour and LOS C during the PM peak hour with all movements in the AM peak hour operating at LOS B or better. However, during the PM peak hour some movements are operating at LOS D, indicating that the intersection is beginning to show signs of operational issues.

The mitigation measures identified include the addition of eastbound and westbound left and/or right turn lanes. In addition, Hennepin County has requested that the traffic signal system be replaced with a new system including flashing yellow arrow left turn phasing. This phasing was assumed with each mitigation alternative. Tables 5 and 6, below, summarizes the projected 2040 delay and LOS at the W. 58th Street and France Avenue intersection with the addition of eastbound and westbound left turn lanes and a new traffic control signal system. The tables show that the intersection would continue to operate at an overall LOS B during the AM peak hour with all movements operating at LOS C or better. During the PM peak hour, the overall intersection would continue to operate at LOS D with an improvement in the delay of 17sec. The westbound approach would improve to a LOS D from LOS F; the eastbound approach would continue to operate at LOS E, and; the northbound left turn would continue to operate at LOS D with the southbound left turn improving to a LOS C.

City staff has requested that an estimated cost be determined for the improvement. It is assumed that the improvements would include a new signal system with the following components: • New poles and mast arms • LED traffic signal and pedestrian indications • Video detection • Flashing yellow arrow left turn phasing • ADA audible pedestrian push bottoms Based on these improvements the estimated cost based on MnDOT average bid prices would be approximately $225,000 Conclusions / Recommendations Based on the results of the analysis the following can be concluded for the geometric and traffic control needs on W. 58th Street at the intersections of France Avenue and Xerxes Avenue. W. 58th Street at France Avenue: • Existing traffic and geometric condition are operating at an overall LOS B during the AM peak hour and LOS C during the PM peak hour with all movements in the AM peak hour operating at LOS B or better and some movements operating at LOS D during the PM peak hour. • Projected 2040 traffic with the existing geometric conditions would continue to operate at an overall LOS B during the AM peak hour with all movements operating at LOS C or better. During the PM peak hour, the overall intersection would be operating at LOS D with movements at LOS D, LOS E and LOS F. • Projected 2040 traffic with mitigation conditions assuming a eastbound and westbound left turn lane would continue to operate at an overall LOS B during the AM peak hour with all movements operating at LOS C or better. During the PM peak hour, the overall intersection would continue to operate at LOS D with movements at LOS D and LOS E. • Projected 2040 traffic with mitigation conditions assuming eastbound and westbound left turn and right turn lanes would continue to operate at an overall LOS B during the AM peak hour with all movements operating at LOS C or better. During the PM peak hour, the overall intersection operation would improve to a LOS C with all movements operating at LOS C or better. • Hennepin County has requested that the traffic signal system be replaced with a new system including flashing yellow arrow left turn phasing. W. 58th Street at Xerxes Avenue: • Existing traffic and geometric condition are operating at an overall LOS A during the AM and PM peak hours with all movements operating at LOS C or better, except during the PM peak hour the eastbound left turn movement is operating at LOS D. • Projected 2040 traffic with the existing conditions would continue to operate at an overall LOS A during both the AM and PM peak hour with all movements operating at LOS C or better. During the PM peak the eastbound approach would be operating at LOS D with the left turn movement operating at a LOS E. • Projected 2040 traffic with mitigation conditions assuming an eastbound right turn lane would continue to operate at an overall LOS A during the AM and PM peak hours with all movements operating at LOS C or better. However, during the PM peak hour the eastbound left turn lane would operating at LOS D similar to the existing conditions. W. 58th Street Intersection Analysis October 14, 2019 Page 8 Based on these conclusions the following improvements are recommended: 1. Provide left turn and right turn lanes on the W. 58th Street approaches to France Avenue. The turn lanes should provide a minimum of 200 feet of storage length. 2. Provide a right turn lane for eastbound W. 58th Street at Xerxes Avenue. The turn lane should provide a minimum of 200 feet of storage length. 3. Replace the traffic signal system with a new system as requested by Hennepin County. 4. Upgrade the ADA intersection pedestrian accommodations at the W. 58th Street and France Avenue as requested by Hennepin County.

Living Streets Policy INTRODUCTION The Living Streets Policy was developed to provide the framework for a Living Streets Plan. The policy initially stood alone and included sections to guide the creation of the Living Street Plan. This revised policy is now an integral part of the Living Streets Plan. The Living Streets Policy ties directly to key community goals outlined in the City’s 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Those goals include safe walking, bicycling and driving; reduced storm water runoff, reduced energy consumption, and promoting health. The Living Streets Policy also compliments voluntary City initiatives such the “do.town” effort related to community health, Tree City USA and the Green Step Cities programs related to sustainability. In other cases, the Living Streets Policy will assist the City in meeting mandatory requirements set by other agencies. The Living Streets Policy is broken up into three parts: Vision, Principles and Implementation. The Policy is followed by a description of core services provided by the City of Edina that are related to or implemented in part through Living Streets. POLICY Living Streets balance the needs of motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability, and provide meaningful opportunities for active living and better health. The Living Streets Policy defines Edina’s vision for Living Streets, the principles Living Streets will embody, and the plan that will guide implementation of their construction. LIVING STREETS VISION Edina is a place where ... • Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible; • Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike; • Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity; • Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity; • Public policy strives to promote sustainability through balanced infrastructure investments; • Environmental stewardship and reduced energy consumption are pursued in public and private sectors alike; and • Streets support vibrant commerce and add to the value of adjacent land uses. Mini Fact Expect cyclists on the road. Watch for cyclists on the road. Treat them as you would any slow-moving vehicle. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 9 LIVING STREETS PRINCIPLES Fifteen principles guide implementation of the Living Streets Policy in the areas of all users and all modes, connectivity, context sensitivity and sustainability. The City will incorporate these principles when planning for and designing the local transportation network and when making public and private land use decisions. All Users and All Modes Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and the disabled; and Principle 2: Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while enhancing safety and convenience for all users. Connectivity Principle 3: The City designs, operates and maintains a transportation system that provides a highly connected network of streets that accommodate all modes of travel; Principle 4: The City seeks opportunities to overcome barriers to active transportation by preserving and repurposing existing rights-of-way and adding new rights- of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit; Principle 5: The City prioritizes improvements to non-motorized connections to key destinations such as public facilities, public transit, the regional transportation network and commercial areas; Principle 6: The City will require new developments to provide interconnected street and sidewalk networks that connect to existing or planned streets or sidewalks on the perimeter of the development; and Principle 7: Projects will include consideration of the logical termini by mode. For example, the logical termini for a bike lane or sidewalk may extend beyond the traditional limits of a street construction or reconstruction project, in order to ensure multimodal connectivity and continuity. Context Sensitivity Principle 8: Living Streets are developed with input from stakeholders and designed to consider neighborhood character and promote a strong sense of place; Principle 9: Living Streets preserve and protect natural features such as waterways, urban forest, sensitive slopes and soils; Principle 10: Living Streets are designed and built with coordination between business and property owners along commercial corridors to develop vibrant commercial districts; Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 10 Principle 11: Living Streets coordinate with regional transit networks and regional authorities; and Principle 12: The City will consider the fiscal context of projects and potential financial impacts when implementing Living Streets at the project level. Sustainability Principle 13: Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public, Principle 14: Living Streets will reduce environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of roadways; and Principle 15: The City will increase the life span and resilience of its infrastructure and will build infrastructure with consideration for lifecycle costs and ease of maintenance. LIVING STREETS IMPLEMENTATION The City of Edina will develop Living Streets in the regular course of business of maintaining, expanding or redeveloping the road network and will be guided by the Vision and Principles established above. Implementation will happen predominantly through the neighborhood street reconstruction program, but also though specific stand-alone stormwater utility, pedestrian, bicycle or safety projects. Project prioritization is not specifically part of the Living Streets Plan. Prioritization of projects takes place in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and Budget and is determined by the City Council with guidance from the Living Streets Vision and Principles. The City will actively promote and apply the Living Streets Policy and Plan by: • Applying the Living Streets Policy and Plan to all street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or changes in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. This also includes privately built roads, sidewalks, paths and trails. • Drawing on all sources of transportation funding and actively pursuing grants, cost-sharing opportunities and other new or special funding sources as applicable. • Through all City departments supporting the vision and principles outlined in this Plan in their work. • By acting as an advocate for Living Streets principles when a local transportation or land use decision is under the jurisdiction of another agency. Projects that implement Living Streets will be guided by pedestrian and cyclist network plans and roadway classifications and will consider the physical, social, ecologic, regulatory and economic context in a given project area. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 11 The project delivery system used to build Living Streets will: • Systematically engage Edina residents and project stakeholders to better inform project-level recommendations. • Keep Edina residents and project stakeholders informed about Living Streets and the range of services they help provide. • Follow minimum Living Streets design requirements and standards. • Manage construction impacts to residents and users of streets. Network The creation of a Living Streets network of road, pedestrian and bicycle facilities provides mobility, accessibility and access to people, places and spaces. The resulting interconnection of neighborhoods links people to goods and services and to one another, and increases quality of life for those who live in, work in, or visit the city. Existing and planned transportation networks are identified in the City of Edina Comprehensive Plan and other approved/adopted plans. Network plans include: • Roadway Network (Functional Classification, Jurisdictional Classification) • Sidewalk Facilities • Bicycle Facilities (Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan) • Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan • Transit Service Network plans are approved by the City Council. In most cases, modification requires an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. The expansion, creation and improvement of pedestrian and bicycle networks will be well planned and prioritized: • Expansion of existing networks and providing connections to key traffic generators or destinations provide immediate benefit to all network users and is a top priority. • Network connections serving vulnerable users such as children, seniors and the disabled are a top priority. • Network connections serving high-volume uses such as schools, retail destinations or regional public transit are a top priority. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 12 Context Contextual variety can either constrain or create opportunity in roadway and other infrastructure projects. The following are contexts that will be considered and will influence the planning, design and implementation of Living Streets. Exceptions Living Streets principles will be included in all street construction, reconstruction, repaving and rehabilitation projects, except under one or more of the conditions listed below. City staff will document proposed exceptions as part of a project proposal. • A project involves only ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable condition, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair or pothole filling, or when interim measures are implemented on a temporary detour. Such maintenance activities, however, shall consider and meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians. CONTEXTS OF LIVING STREETS Ecological Water resource, ponds, wetlands, lakes, streams Natural resouces, trees, and urban forest Air quality Climate Sun and shade Materials, waste, energy, sustainability Regulatory State Aid roadway Watershed rules Operational Maintenance operations Traffic control or functional constraints Project Type Public Neighborhood street reconstruction Neighborhood street reconstruction with major associated utility work State Aid street reconstruction Stand-alone sidewalk, bicycle or utility project Public partner lead State County Transit agency Parks district Private development Will remain private Future public Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 13 • The City exempts a project due to an excessively disproportionate cost of establishing a bikeway, walkway or transit enhancement as part of a project. • The City determines that the construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because of significant or adverse environmental impacts to waterways, flood plains, remnants or native vegetation, wetlands or other critical areas. • Available budget is constrained or project timing allows more efficient construction at a later date. Engagement Members of the public have an interest in understanding and providing input for public projects. Project recommendations will be developed with a transparent and defined level of public engagement. The public will have access to the decision-making process and decision makers via public meetings and other correspondence and will be provided the opportunity to give input throughout the process. Project reports will discuss how their input helped to influence recommendations and decisions. The City of Edina’s Living Streets will continue to engage and solicit public input as a vital component of the project implementation process. See Chapter 5 for a more detailed discussion regarding the purpose of and opportunities for public engagement. Design The guidelines contained in the Living Streets Plan will be used to direct the planning, funding, design, construction, operation and maintenance of new and modified streets, sidewalks, paths and trails. The guidelines allow for context-sensitive designs. The Design Guidelines (see Chapter 6): • Keep street pavement widths to the minimum necessary. • Provide well-designed pedestrian accommodation in the form of sidewalks or shared-use pathways on all arterial, collector and local connector streets. Sidewalks shall also be required where streets abut a public school, public building, community playfield or neighborhood park. Termini will be determined by context. • Provide frequent, convenient and safe street crossings. These may be at intersections designed to be pedestrian friendly, or at mid-block locations where needed and appropriate. • Provide bicycle accommodation on all primary bike routes. • Allocate right-of-way for boulevards. • Allocate right-of-way for parking only when necessary and not in conflict with Living Streets principles. • Consider streets as part of our natural ecosystem and incorporate landscaping, trees, rain gardens and other features to improve air and water quality. The Design Guidelines in this Plan will be incorporated into other City plans, manuals, rules, regulations and programs as appropriate. As new and better practices evolve, the City will update this Living Streets Plan. Minimum standards will guide how vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle networks interact and share public right of way. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 14 Benchmarks and Performance Measures The ability to measure the performance of a plan, as well as knowing that it is functioning as it is intended, is vitally important to overall success and the ability to sustain it. With this in mind, the City will monitor and measure its performance relative to the Living Streets Policy. Benchmarks that will demonstrate success include: Every street and neighborhood is a comfortable place for walking and bicycling. This does not mean that every street in the city will have walking and biking facilities. It means that each neighborhood will provide a network of these facilities such that walking and biking to and through neighborhoods is a comfortable experience. Every child can walk or bike to school or a park safely. It is essential that alternatives to driving to school or parks be provided to children and their caregivers. These alternatives – walking or bicycling – will be both safe and convenient modes of transportation. See the Edina Active Routes to School Plan for more information. Seniors, children, and disabled people can cross all streets safely and comfortably. Opportunities to cross all streets in Edina, including local, collectors and arterial streets, will be provided. These crossings will be safe and comfortable for all users, regardless of age or ability. An active way of life is available to all. Opportunities for active living should be made available to all members of the Edina community by connecting centers of activity via active, multimodal transportation. Each resident of and visitor to Edina will have the ability to lead an active way of life. There are zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Perhaps the ultimate safety benchmark is zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Modeled from the Vision Zero Initiative (www.visionzeroinitiative.com), an aspirational yet primary goal of Living Streets is to achieve this high level of safety on the City’s roadways. Reduce untreated street water flows into local waterways and reduce storm water volume. Cost-effective stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are strategically selected to go above and beyond regulatory requirements to provide for flood protection and clean water services through the use of infrastructure that retains, settles, filters, infiltrates, diverts or reduces the volume of stormwater that flows to local surface waters. Retail streets stay or become popular regional destinations. Part of Edina’s Living Streets vision is that “streets support vibrant commerce.” While most of the city’s streets are residential, Edina’s business districts are a vital part of the community. The benefits of Living Streets extend to retail streets as well, making them more attractive to businesses and consumers alike. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 15 The City will draw on the following data to measure performance: • Number of crashes or transportation-related injuries reported to the Police Department. • Number and type of traffic safety complaints or requests. • Resident responses to transportation related questions in resident surveys. • Resident responses to post-project surveys. • The number of trips by walking, bicycling and transit (if applicable) as measured before and after the project. • Envision ratings from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure. • Additional performance measures may be identified as this Policy is implemented. Mini Fact Motorists must stop behind all crosswalks. Living Streets Plan – 2.

This low area is subject to flooding even during relatively small rain events. Additionally, this low area along France Avenue can overflow to the west down Wood End Drive where there is another low area drained by four catch basins. This area has also been subject to flooding during relatively small rain events. Multiple residents, particularly those on the east side of France Avenue, have reported these flooding concerns to City of Edina (City) staff in recent years. The City and Hennepin County (County) have been actively working to address this known flooding issue. This technical memorandum is intended to briefly describe the issues that have been identified by the City, County, and residents, and also describe possible short- and long-term solutions. 2.0 Identified Issues Multiple issues have been identified through investigation of the storm sewer system in this area. The following sections discuss the data provided by a resident and data provided by the County. 2.1 Resident Data The resident at 3811 West 57th Street provided data to the City via videos and pictures taken during recent rainfall events that has been invaluable for helping understand the problem and the impacts in this area. For example, a rain event on September 20th totaled about 3 to 4 inches over 24 hours in this area (Figure 1). The resident captured video during a high intensity portion of the rainfall event where 0.6 inches fell in about 5 minutes, which is approximately an intensity that has only a 10% chance of occurring each year. While the overall depth of the event over 24 hours was not very significant, the brief and high intensity was similar to what we would expect from a 10-year event and the intensity can make it difficult for catch basins to drain roads quickly.

The two catch basins along West 57th Street appeared to be largely ineffective, potentially due to the silt bags that are temporarily installed in the catch basins due to nearby home construction (Figure 2). Therefore, much of the flow generated from West 57th Street was bypassing the catch basins and flowing south along France Avenue.

This grated inlet at 5709 France Avenue was completely submerged and a vortex was occasionally observed indicating at least intermittent flow into the storm sewer system at this location. Additionally, the entire width of France Avenue was under water in this area, including the road centerline, suggesting that the water level was up to at least 871.2 feet and likely a few inches higher. Figure 3 France Avenue catch basin (image capture from video) and location circled in red on the image to the right. The video footage also captured flooding conditions in the backyards east of France Avenue and south of 57th Street. There is an inlet behind the home at 5709 France Avenue with a rim elevation of 869.4 feet. This inlet is connected to the main storm sewer line along France Avenue. Water was observed bubbling up through this inlet into (and filling) the backyards east of France Avenue (Figure 4). Given the water level in France Avenue, it is possible that the water coming out of the inlet may have been flowing back through the pipe from France Avenue, adding to the amount of flood water in the backyards. It is also possible that this water was coming from the east (from within the upstream storm sewer), but with flow through the pipes restricted by the flooding on France Avenue, the water from the east (Ewing Avenue storm sewer) bubbled up to the surface. 4005 Wood End Dr. 4001 Wood End Dr. 4000 Wood End Dr.3811 57th St. W 5705 France Ave. S 5709 France Ave. S 5717 France Ave. S West 57thStreetFrance Ave. S.Minnehaha Creek Street Low Point Street Low Point To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 4 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx Figure 4 Backyard inlet bubbling water (image capture from video) and location circled in red on the image to the right. During this storm event, the resident also observed a significant amount of stormwater flowing north from the inundation at the low area along France and westward to Wood End Drive. Water was pooled in the low area along Wood End Drive up to an elevation of about 869.5 feet (roughly estimated based on LiDAR elevation data and video). This is equivalent to over one foot of water in many places, and up to 1.5 feet of water near the four catch basins along Wood End Drive. In the video, the four catch basins were not visible due to the depth of water, but it does not appear that water was flowing quickly into the catch basins. This restriction could be due to temporary silt bags in the catch basins (Figure 5) which are in place for the purpose of catching sediment from construction upstream along Wood End Drive. Figure 5 Google Street View image of the low point along Wood End Drive (looking west from France Avenue South) and the catch basins (circled in red on the image to the right). The videos provided suggest that there are inlet capacity issues both along France Avenue where the catch basins are intended to drain water as it flows both north and south to the low area, and along Wood 4005 Wood End Dr. 4001 Wood End Dr. 4000 Wood End Dr.3811 57th St. W 5705 France Ave. S 5709 France Ave. S 5717 France Ave. S West 57thStreetFrance Ave. S.Minnehaha Creek Street Low Point Street Low Point 4005 Wood End Dr. 4000 Wood End Dr.3811 57th St. W 5705 France Ave. S 5709 France Ave. S 5717 France Ave. SFrance Ave. S.Street Low Point Street Low Point 4001 Wood End Dr. Approx. 869.5’ contour To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 5 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx End Drive where the catch basins are intended to drain water from the road surface to Minnehaha Creek. The inlet capacity issues may be driven by either the presence of the silt bags, the number of catch basins, or both. 2.2 Hennepin County Data Hennepin County staff investigated the storm sewer pipes north of West 57th Street along France Avenue and up to the discharge point to Minnehaha Creek. The trunk system in this area includes a 235 foot, 15- inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), followed by a shorter 15-inch plastic pipe that discharges to the creek. There were two issues found during this investigation. First, in the catch basin manhole where these two pipes meet, the invert (controlling elevation) of the downstream plastic pipe was nearly 2 feet higher than the invert of the upstream RCP. Figure 6 shows a longitudinal profile of the storm sewer system under France Avenue (flowing from right to left, with the left side being north). This elevation difference significantly reduces the efficiency of the storm sewer system at passing flow. When the longer RCP is clean and open, it will always be flowing full, which is less efficient than a pipe that is not flowing full. Additionally, the downstream-most 15-inch pipe with the elevated inverts will have less pressure driving flow through the pipes. This will further reduce the efficiency or capacity of the storm sewer to pass flow. Figure 6 Longitudinal profile of the storm sewer system with pipes that are not aligned Second, because the downstream plastic pipe invert is nearly 2 feet higher than the upstream RCP, sediment had deposited and collected in this longer RCP, further reducing the conveyance capacity of this pipe. In the fall of 2018, after the September 20th rain event, Hennepin County jetted and vacuumed out the sediment from this pipe and removed two truckloads of sediment. sediment build-up downstream most pipe pipe hydraulic grade line –with sediment pipe hydraulic grade line –without sediment Elevation, feet (NGVD29)860 865 870 875 To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 6 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx 3.0 Potential Improvement Options We considered several potential improvement options that can be implemented to help solve, or at least improve, the flooding issue in this area. Some options are immediate or short-term and have already been completed or can be completed soon. Others are longer-term solutions and can be implemented in the years to come. These short-term options are expected to provide some improvement, but not significant improvement on the peak flood elevations. The City’s stormwater model was used as a tool to demonstrate and quantify the benefits that each of these options provides during the 10-year, 24-hour storm event. This event was chosen because of the readily available boundary conditions required, and because of the ability to compare this storm to the recent event in September, 2018. The improvement options are discussed in the next section. 3.1 Short-Term Options Three short-term improvement options were considered: • Increased inspection/maintenance frequency to keep pipe sediment free • Removal of catch basin sediment control silt bags • Review Wood End Dr system for condition The first short-term improvement option is to clean out the sediment in the pipe and restore flow capacity (maintenance). This has already been completed by Hennepin County. This option was evaluated with the City’s stormwater model by running two model simulations – (1) representing a condition of the pipe half full of sediment and (2) representing a “clean” pipe (free of sediment). During a 10-year, 24-hour storm event (design event from NOAA Atlas 14 simulating 4.3 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period) this short-term maintenance option reduces peak flood elevations as follows: • The peak flood elevation in the low area along France Avenue is not affected. • The peak flood elevation in the backyards east of France Avenue is not affected. • The peak flood elevation in the low area along Wood End Drive is decreased by 0.1 feet. While the removal of the sediment may reduce flooding during events smaller than the 10-year event, in this particular case, the removal of the sediment has more of an impact on flooding duration, rather than the peak flood elevation. The removal of the sediment shortens the duration because the system can ultimately drain more quickly; the peak elevations are less affected largely because of (1) the limited inlet capacity in the roads and (2) the high inverts of the downstream-most pipe. For example, the flooding duration in France Avenue during the 10-year, 24-hour storm event is reduced from about 9 hours to about 4 hours by conducting the pipe maintenance. In addition to the removal of the built up sediment (which was completed in the fall of 2018, after the September 20th rain event), the second short-term option is to remove the silt bags at the catch basins in To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 7 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx this area, along Wood End Drive and West 57th Street. This solution was also evaluated with the City’s stormwater model by running two model simulations – (1) representing a condition of almost no inlet capacity at these catch basins and (2) restored inlet capacity. During a 10-year, 24-hour storm event this short-term maintenance option reduces peak flood elevations as follows: • The peak flood elevation in the low area along France Avenue is not affected. • The peak flood elevation in the backyards east of France Avenue is not affected. • The peak flood elevation in the low area along Wood End Drive is decreased by 0.2 feet, relative to the base condition (silt bags and sediment). The third short-term option is to inspect the catch basins, pipes, and the treatment structure manhole at the low point along Wood End Drive. This inspection option has not been performed but may identify restrictions in the storm sewer system that are currently unknown. Additional short-term options may also be identified as a result of this inspection.

Any of these individual options, or any combination of these options, could be implemented in the future as opportunities arise. Performance for each option was reviewed for the following criteria and is reported in the recommendations summary table below (Table 1). • Reduction of peak flood elevation along France Avenue (MHS_1) • Reduction of peak flood elevation in rear yards (MHS_74) • Reduction of peak flood elevation on Wood End Drive (MHS_40; new since 2018 CWRMP) Table 1 Summary of long-term improvement options and the incremental reductions in the peak flood elevations for the 10-year, 24-hour storm event Condition Flood Elevation (France Avenue, MHS_1) Flood Elevation (Rear Yards, MHS_74) Flood Elevation (Wood End Drive, MHS_40) Existing (Base) Condition 871.0 872.3 870.9 Long Term Improvement Option Flood Elevation Reduction (France Avenue, MHS_1) Flood Elevation Reduction (Rear Yards, MHS_74) Flood Elevation Reduction (Wood End Drive, MHS_40) Option 1 - lower inverts and increase capacity, Section 3.2.1, recommended 0.2 feet 1.7 feet 1.0 feet Option 2 - Option 1 plus additional France Ave. inlet capacity, Section 3.2.2, recommended Option 1 + 0.8 feet Option 1 - 0.2 feet Option 1 + 0.3 feet Option 3 – Option 2 plus additional Wood End Dr. inlet and pipe capacity, Section 3.2.3, recommended pending review Option 2 + 0.0 feet Option 2 + 0.0 feet Option 2 + 1.5 feet Option 4a – Option 1 plus diverting Ewing Ave., Section 3.2.4, recommended only if Option 4b is not pursued Option 1 + 0.0 feet Option 1 + 0.2 feet Option 1 + 0.0 feet Option 4b – Option 2 plus diverting Ewing Ave., briefly discussed in Section 3.2.4, recommended Option 2 + 0.2 feet Option 2 + 0.4 feet Option 2 + 0.0 feet Option 5 – Backflow preventers, not recommended 0.0 feet 0.0 feet 0.0 feet 3.2.1 Lower Pipe Invert to Increase Capacity of France Avenue System The first long-term option is to lower the invert of the downstream-most pipe, and increase the size of the storm sewer system under France Avenue to 36-inch pipes (Figure 7). During a 10-year, 24-hour storm event (design event from NOAA Atlas 14 simulating 4.3 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period) this improvement option reduces peak flood elevations as follows: To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 9 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx • The peak flood elevation in the low area along France Avenue is decreased by 0.2 feet, from 871.0 feet in the base condition to 870.8 feet. With this change, there would still be significant flooding on France Avenue, albeit for a much shorter duration. • The peak flood elevation in the backyards east of France Avenue is decreased by 1.7 feet, from 872.3 feet in the base condition to 870.6 feet. Based on the 2011 LiDAR data, this appears to remove all impacts to homes along France Avenue and 57th Street from the backyard area. • The peak flood elevation in the low area along Wood End Drive is decreased by 1.0 feet, from 870.9 feet in the base condition to 869.9 feet. This is an improvement, but there would still be substantial flooding on Wood End Drive.

During a 10-year, 24-hour storm event (design event from NOAA Atlas 14 simulating 4.3 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period) this improvement option reduces peak flood elevations as follows: • The peak flood elevation in the low area along France Avenue is decreased by 1.0 feet, from 871.0 feet in the base condition to 870.0 feet. With this change, there would be no flooding along France Avenue. • The peak flood elevation in the backyards east of France Avenue is decreased by 1.5 feet, from 872.3 feet in the base condition to 870.8 feet. This improvement is not as good as long-term option 1 alone, because of the additional water that is allowed to enter the system along France Avenue, thus restricting drainage from the backyards. However, homes still appear to be not impacted from the backyard at this elevation based on LiDAR data. • The peak flood elevation in the low area along Wood End Drive is decreased by 1.3 feet, from 870.9 feet in the base condition to 869.6 feet. This is a greater improvement, because there is now no flow coming from France Avenue into Wood End Drive. However, the front yards of two properties are inundated.

The option described in this section provides no additional benefit to the low area along France Avenue that is not already provided by the option described in Section 3.2.2. • The peak flood elevation in the backyards east of France Avenue is decreased by 1.5 feet, from 872.3 feet in the base condition to 870.8 feet. The option described in this section provides no additional benefit to the backyards east of France Avenue that is not already provided by the option described in Section 3.2.2. • The peak flood elevation in the low area along Wood End Drive is decreased by 2.8 feet, from 870.9 feet in the base condition to 868.1 feet. With this change, there would be no flooding on Wood End Drive. This option provides greater benefit to the low area along Wood End Drive than the benefit provided by the options described in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 alone. Figure 9 Third proposed long-term improvement option – increasing capacity of France Avenue storm sewer system, lowering invert of downstream-most pipe, adding three catch basins along France Avenue, adding two catch basins on Wood End Drive, and increasing pipe size from Wood End Drive to Minnehaha Creek lower inverts of this pipe increase pipe size of these to 36-inch add three catch basins increase pipe size of these to 18-inch To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 13 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx 3.2.4 Diverting water from Ewing Avenue In the base condition, restricted flow capacity in the France Avenue storm sewer system limits outflow from the low backyard area east of France Avenue. Additionally, this capacity limitation forces water from Ewing Avenue to surcharge from the storm sewer system, bubbling out at the surface in the backyards. Diverting water from Ewing Avenue could provide additional benefit to the backyard areas. In addition to the first long-term option described in Section 3.2.1, the fourth long-term option is to abandon the existing pipe draining Ewing Avenue towards France Avenue, and install a new 18-inch pipe from Ewing Avenue north to 57th Street (Figure 10). During a 10-year, 24-hour storm event (design event from NOAA Atlas 14 simulating 4.3 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period) this long-term improvement option reduces peak flood elevations as follows: • The peak flood elevation in the low area along France Avenue is decreased by 0.2 feet, from 871.0 feet in the base model to 870.8 feet. With this change, there would still be significant flooding on France Avenue, albeit for a much shorter duration. If the three additional catch basins were included in this option, such as described in Section 3.2.2, the peak flood elevation would be reduced to 869.8 feet, a 1.2 foot reduction from the base condition. • The peak flood elevation in the backyards east of France Avenue is decreased by 1.9 feet, from 872.3 feet in the base condition to 870.4 feet. This appears to remove all impacts to homes along France Avenue and 57th Street from the backyard area based on LiDAR, and is an improvement in this area over long-term options 1 through 3. • The peak flood elevation in the low area along Wood End Drive is decreased by 1.0 feet, from 870.9 feet in the base condition to 869.9 feet. This is an improvement, but there would still be substantial flooding on Wood End Drive. The additional catch basins and increased pipe sizes that are described in Section 3.2.3 would prevent the flooding at Wood End Drive.

However, further analysis indicates that the surcharging will continue to occur in the backyard area if backflow preventers are installed due to the limited flow capacity in the France Avenue system and incoming stormwater flows from the Ewing Avenue storm sewer system. Therefore, we do not recommend installing backflow preventers in the existing pipes between France Avenue and the backyards (Figure 11). lower inverts of this pipe increase pipe size of these to 36-inch add these 18-inch pipes abandon this pipe To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 15 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx Figure 11 Fifth proposed long-term improvement option – backflow preventers between France Avenue and the backyards east of France Avenue (not recommended). 4.0 Conclusions The area around the intersection of France Avenue and West 57th Street experiences flooding, even during relatively small rain events. There are short-term and long-term improvement options that can be implemented to reduce both the peak flood elevations and flood durations. In the short term, Hennepin County has already removed sediment that was restricting flow capacity of the storm sewer system under France Avenue. The City could also remove the temporary silt bags from the catch basins on West 57th Street and Wood End Drive, although the flooding benefit from this would be marginal. The relationship between sediment controls and flooding is rather complex. The temporary inlet protection (silt bags) can exacerbate flood elevations due to reduced inlet capacity. However, without silt bags, the sediment that accumulates in the pipe can also exacerbate flood elevations in the long term due to reduced pipe capacity (until periodic maintenance occurs). In the long term, we recommend that the City consider lowering the upstream invert of the downstream- most pipe under France Avenue, increasing the pipe size along France Avenue to 36-inch pipes, and installing additional catch basins to the low points on both France Avenue and Wood End Drive. backflow preventers To: Ross Bintner From: Cory Anderson and Sarah Stratton Subject: Stormwater Issues and Findings at West 57th Street and France Avenue Date: January 12, 2019 Page: 16 P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\2327354\WorkFiles\2018\France and 57th\Technical Memorandum - Issues and Options Summary.docx Additional reductions in the flood elevations in the backyard area just east of France Avenue and South of West 57th Street could be achieved by diverting flow from Ewing Avenue north to West 57th Street.

West 58th Street was also a catalyst for the City pursuing a more robust on‐line engagement platform, now known as Better Together Edina. This engagement website was soft launched using West 58th Street project as the focus project. PROJECT BACKGROUND In 2018, the City of Edina tentatively scheduled the reconstruction of West 58th Street from Wooddale Avenue to Xerxes Avenue for 2020. The main goal of the City’s public engagement efforts was to develop a road design reflecting the needs and interests of residents. The project development and public engagement timeline included 3 stages: 1) identify resident needs, 2) initial design alternative, 3) final design/concept. The engagement plan was bolstered by using the Better Together Edina website. The website allowed residents to participate in the process online the same way individuals participate at in‐person meetings. Online questions and activities allowed the City to reach more residents and develop deeper understanding of the community interests. The website allowed residents to join forum discussions, provide design/ideas feedback, ask questions and stay up‐ to‐date on West 58th Street progress. The following public engagement report includes in‐person and online feedback together to show all input was equally valuable. The input received through Better Together Edina, the Open House and the Small Group Discussions influenced the final concept of the West 58th Street Reconstruction project.

Should the bike facilities be on street or off street? 2. Should on‐street parking be provided, if so 1 or 2 sides? 3. Should there be more than 1 off street pedestrian facility? 4. Should we go above normal practice with storm sewer options? Scope of Project – During this process, the public can influence decisions related to the street design including: - Bike Facilities - Parking - Lighting - Pedestrian Facilities - Storm Sewer Opportunities (tree trenches, infiltration basins, rain gardens, etc.) Outside of Project - Sanitary sewer and watermain Decisions Already Made - Bike facility will be included, although could be combined with a pedestrian facility - At least one sidewalk will be included and could be combined with a bike facility STAGES OF PARTICIPATION STAGE 1: IDENTIFICATION OF RESIDENT IDEAS, USE PATTERNS AND INTERESTS IN THE CORRIDOR SUMMARY Public engagement for the project began in February 2019. Residents were invited to attend the Open House on Feb. 25 or provide feedback using the Better Together Edina website. The project team mailed 3,038 postcards inviting residents to attend the Open House. The Open House was held from 6‐8 p.m. at our Public Works Facility (7450 Metro Boulevard). The goal of the Open House was to focus on listening to ideas, use patterns and interests. Residents were given the opportunity to document comments and discuss issues with the project team. Several activity boards were utilized to solicit feedback on the corridor. “Interest stickers” were provided to point out areas of interest on corridor maps. Stickers provided were meant to reflect common interests during a construction project. All participants were encouraged to provide more detailed comments in comment cards. Open house attendees were recruited to participate in Small Group Discussions to review initial corridor design concepts. Participants also had the opportunity to sign up for Small Group Discussions online. 51 residents signified interest in participating in Small Group Discussions. All Open House comments collected were summarized into the nine interest topics below. Comments were then used to develop an initial design concept layout for deeper focus group discussions. FINDINGS FROM STAGE 1 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities Residents generally feel West 58th is a dangerous corridor for pedestrians. The lack of current pedestrian facilities was a clear theme. Many noted the need to provide safe pedestrian access to Pamela Park. Several mentioned concerns for children’s ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 4 safety walking to the park and school. Some residents that live in the area are compelled to drive to the park, rather than walk a close distance. Residents suggested a combined bike and pedestrian facility at the Open House. It was suggested that a facility be separated from the roadway to improve safety. Many residents felt that the current bike lane is unsafe. Residents mentioned witnessing several bike related crashes. Motor Vehicle Facilities Residents were clear that they are mostly interested in pedestrian safety and bicycle safety. Residents feel that drivers travel too fast throughout the corridor. Residents noted that the hills in the corridor also create a variety of sightline issues. Residents mentioned existing challenges in backing out of the driveway with speeding vehicles and dangerous sight lines. Property Impacts Communications regarding property impacts was suggested to be a priority. Concerns about driveway impacts were the most common comment. Residents are interested in how they might be impacted specifically. Residents commented on the potential loss of parking and landscaping impacts. Landscaping Residents felt that the addition of landscaping could be used as a traffic calming measure. Several residents had concerns about construction impacts to mature trees. There is an interest to protect and preserve mature trees as much as possible. Lighting Several areas of lighting needs were identified on activity boards at the open house. Comments regarding lighting were focused on dark areas around Pamela Park. Stormwater Pamela Park stormwater was the most pressing noted concern at the Open House. Residents would like to protect Pamela Park from pollution and invasive species. Residents feel that stormwater systems are inadequate for heavy rain. Transit Facilities A few residents commented on bus transit or access. Some comments suggested the importance of pedestrian facilities to allow residents to walk to the bus stops. Wildlife Safety Other comments included the concern for turtle and wildlife safety. Several requests for turtle crossing signs or other strategies. STAGE 2: INITIAL DESIGN CONCEPT SUMMARY After the Open House and website comments were gathered, an initial design concept was developed. This concept helped facilitate deeper dialogues with residents during Small Group Discussions and online forums. The concept allowed residents to react to an option and potential alternatives. Reactions to the initial concept helped staff understand if the design was headed in a productive direction. Below is a high‐level reflection of the interests gathered in Stage 1 and how they were incorporated into the initial design concept. CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Topic Area what we heard in Stage 1 how we used the input Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities - Lack of pedestrian facilities - Lack of crossing at Pamela Park - Separate bikes from vehicles - Added crosswalk at Pamela Park - Added lighting at Pamela Park - Path separated from automobiles for bicycles and pedestrians on north side of 58th - Added a bike and pedestrian facility on the northern side of West 58th ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 5 Motor Vehicle Facilities - Vehicles travel too fast - Sightline Issues - Narrowed lane width - Added boulevard with trees - Suggested mini‐roundabout Property Impacts - Keep us informed - Driveways, retaining walls, fences - Will hold one‐on‐one meetings - Lannon stone retaining walls if less than 4‐ft in height - Tree replacements will be provided if trees are removed Landscaping - Use landscaping for traffic calming - Save mature trees - Added boulevard with trees - One‐for‐one tree replacement - Consider weaving path Lighting - Lighting focused on dark areas and around Pamela Park - Attractive lighting - Added lighting near Pamela Park Stormwater - Protect Pamela Park - Fixing pooling stormwater - Added curb and gutter - Suggested tree trenches, and other stormwater filtration systems Transit Facilities - Lack of Bus Transit access - Benches and Trash receptacles - Opposition to bus routes along 58th - A need to walk to the bus stops - Communicated with Metro Transit - Added a bike and pedestrian facility on the northern side of West 58th Wildlife Safety - Many turtles are hit by cars - Turtle crossing signs or underground tunnel suggested Other - Unsafe for pedestrian and bike - Busy Events - Roundabout or crosswalk suggested - Parking bay added FINDINGS FROM STAGE 2 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities Residents who participated in the Small Group Discussions agreed that traffic needs to be calmed along West 58th Street and that narrowing the street is a reasonable option. Residents noted that the main contributors to unsafe conditions surround the hills in the corridor. West 58th Street from Wooddale Avenue to Brookview Avenue was noted for poor sight lines and high vehicle speeds. Residents also have common interests in a reduction of slope on hills along the corridor. Online respondents had mixed feelings regarding the idea of narrowing the street. Several residents felt it would be acceptable if a separated bike and pedestrian path is part of the design. Others were concerned about narrowing of the lanes causing backups, particularly for drivers attempting to turn off West 58th Street onto side streets and driveways. A dynamic crosswalk and flashing pedestrian signs were requested over the mini‐ roundabout option at West 58th Street and the entrance to Pamela Park. Residents had negative opinions about the increased safety and effectiveness of the mini‐roundabout. Some residents suggested adding a vertical element in the middle of the roundabout, such as a tree or artwork, that could help people better understand how to navigate through it. ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 6 There was also concern that children are less familiar with roundabouts and would not know how to safely cross the street. Other residents expressed concerns that headlights will be shining into the adjacent properties. Residents would like to see improved pedestrian facilities at West 58th Street and Xerxes Avenue. Residents requested marked crosswalks specifically for the adjacent bus stop. Residents are unsure that providing a turn lane here would help as suggested in the initial design. Residents who addressed this question online were supportive of the addition of turn lanes. Concerns were also expressed about the steep hill at this intersection and the possibility of it being regraded. One resident suggested the possibility of a sign that alerts drivers to the blind hill. Poor sightlines were noted at the intersection of West 58th Street and Kellogg Avenue. Residents followed the theme of feeling the intersection is dangerous for both cars and pedestrians. Some suggested a southern sidewalk, as well as a marked crosswalk to access the northern pedestrian facilities. To alleviate the blind spot, residents suggested adding a “Blind Approach” sign at the bottom of the hill. Residents also expressed similar crosswalk concerns at West 58th Street and Halifax Avenue. Residents are concerned about children crossing at West 58th Street and Oaklawn Avenue. A sidewalk will help alleviate this concern. Residents also agreed that narrowed lanes and reduced vehicle speeds would also help. Some residents feel that adding a stop sign for eastbound traffic could alleviate safety concerns and make turning left onto Oaklawn Avenue easier. A stop sign for westbound traffic at this intersection would cause more safety concerns during icy conditions. One resident mentioned that stop signs have been on West 58th Street before; residents had the stop signs removed due to traffic backups. Other comments included the continued support of calming the vehicle traffic and pointed out there are no speed limit signs from Concord Avenue to France Avenue. A few residents voiced support for the corridor section to be consistent with the design between Concord Avenue and Wooddale Avenue. A combined path for bicycles and pedestrians was not popular among residents during focus groups. Many residents felt strongly that for pedestrian safety is the critical issue. Many felt that bike and pedestrian facilities should be separated from each other. Concerns about bicycle speed and potential conflicts with pedestrians (children) was common. Many felt as though a combined path would be dangerous and that bicycles belong on the street in a separated bike lane. Online participants wanted a clearer understanding of what separated bike and pedestrian facilities may look like. Most online participants were also against the bike and pedestrian facilities being combined into a facility that is separated from vehicles in the road. Residents asked whether a narrower pedestrian path could leave room for a bike lane on the southern side of the street. Residents noted that bicycle commuters typically default to riding in the road regardless. Residents were most concerned about children bicycle users who are going to and from school. Residents appeared to agree that those children would use the narrower sidewalk, and this would be a reasonable outcome. A few residents were worried about the safety of bikers on the street without any bike facility. Residents felt that buffered bike lanes or shared bike lanes made sense on the southern side of the street. Residents also questioned whether the community needed a full bike path that is not connected to other regional paths and destinations. Several residents mentioned that bikers often use Philbrook Lane to avoid the large hill and suggested considering adding bicycle facilities on this street could help avoid pedestrian interaction. Small Group Discussion participants appeared to be near consensus that a smaller, concrete sidewalk on the north side of West 58th Street would be preferable. Some ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 7 residents felt that the north side would be the preferred location because it receives more sunlight in the winter. Residents feel that concrete sidewalks better fit the look and feel of the rest of the neighborhood and are easier to maintain. Many of the online respondents also advocated for a concrete sidewalk and bike lane on the southern side of the road. Many did not like the idea of a bituminous path. Some online participants seemed to disagree on the placement of the pedestrian facilities. Some see the south side of the street as the best option. There may be a perception that southern facilities have less driveway impacts and could limit vehicular interaction. Further study of impacts to properties may be warranted as the project design is refined. There was a noted request for a sidewalk on both sides of the street near Pamela Park. For example, residents requested that the southern sidewalk be extended east to Halifax Avenue from Pamela Park. This would reduce the number of roadway crossings for residents coming from the neighborhood south of West 58th Street and west of France Avenue; residents would prefer not to cross the street twice to enter the park. Residents generally requested more frequent marked crosswalks. Adding crosswalk signs and other pedestrian awareness strategies are of interest. Appropriate pedestrian curb ramps were also suggested as needed. Several residents requested a flashing crosswalk sign near Pamela Park, dynamic speed display signs or other strategies to pedestrian safety. Accidents between cars and bicyclists were also noted as frequent. Motor Vehicle Facilities Many Small Group Discussion participants would like the parking bay to be removed from consideration. Existing parking was noted, as well as the creation of more sightline issues. Alternative ideas included expanding existing parking lots near the Pamela Park tennis court. There was also a concern that parking bays would make the street appear wide and consequently drivers will speed through the area. One Small Group suggested that the parking bay is moved to the west to accommodate those residents that will lose on‐street parking and do not have adjacent side streets. There was some agreement that on‐street parking is needed west of France Avenue. Concern about a parking shortage was most expressed by residents impacted by the proposed northern path or sidewalk through their driveways. Residents along the corridor, in general, are concerned about losing driveway parking spots. Online comments regarding parking were mixed. Some thought it could be an interesting solution, others thought that a marked crosswalk at Philbrook Lane would eliminate the need for a parking bay. Others opposed removing on‐street parking along West 58thStreet, especially near Pamela Park. Property Impacts Residents want the opportunity to work one‐on‐one with the City on major impacts to properties. Residents prefer design options that have the least impact to their properties. Some residents requested a deeper cost/benefit analysis of installing a sidewalk on the north versus south side of West 58th Street. Residents want to be informed of potential impacts before final decisions are made. Residents expressed the interest for a single point of contact for questions throughout the decision‐making process. Residents requested that the City mail notices to residents who will be impacted before major decisions are made. There was also the interest in mailers and other communication to be very brightly colored or branded in a recognizable way. Residents felt they did not fully understand the impacts to their property yet and would appreciate ongoing communications from the City. Most residents liked the Lannon stone walls proposed at focus groups. One commenter noted a preference for the same material (Lannon stone) that was used along Xerxes Avenue between W 60th Street and West 56th Street. Landscaping A loss of the existing tree canopy is a concern. Residents feel it may take too long to regrow after tree removal. Residents feel that mature trees are an essential part of the ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 8 neighborhood character. Residents understand that a trade‐off may be needed to accommodate sidewalks. Residents asked the City to carefully weigh the trade‐offs between designing a sidewalk to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and preserving existing trees. Residents would particularly appreciate the preservation of mature trees. Residents suggested “weaving” the sidewalk when necessary to avoid mature tree damage. One commenter cited West 58th Street between Wooddale Avenue and Concord Avenue as an example of sidewalk meandering. Residents suggested that trees are chosen that minimize the impact to sightlines when backing out of driveways. Residents requested trees that grow “upwards” and not “outwards”. Residents also asked that trees are used to slow traffic. There were a mix of ideas about another boulevard landscaping. Residents suggested having a grass boulevard or salt‐tolerant plantings along the boulevard. Residents also suggested being careful to assess the viability of the plantings during harsh weather conditions. Residents are interested in using native plants in the landscaping plan. Lighting Residents felt that additional lighting is a good idea. Lighting is seen to increase safety and visibility near Pamela Park and at intersections along West 58th Street. Residents noted that lighting should be balanced along the corridor and added in areas that are currently particularly dark. Particularly dark areas identified include Halifax Avenue to Wooddale Avenue, the Oaklawn Avenue intersection and along Pamela Park. Residents are interested in more pedestrian‐oriented lighting along the corridor. Residents suggested shorter lighting that is directed downwards at pedestrian facilities. One resident suggested a 3‐4‐foot‐tall bollard style lights be installed mid‐block to illuminate the sidewalk. Unnecessary artificial light shedding into residents’ windows or into the adjacent natural area should be avoided. Several residents noted that light pollution can be mitigated through use “Dark Sky” technology and suggested that the City explore this strategy. Residents also do not want to disturb Edina’s character. Residents suggested the use of light fixtures would create a sense of character for the corridor. One commenter noted the pedestrian lighting on West 58th Street between Concord Avenue and Wooddale Avenue as a good example of the preferred type of lighting. Stormwater Residents remarked that many intersections experience localized flooding. The intersection of West 58th Street and Beard Avenue, in particular, was noted as a bad area. Residents questioned why West 58th Street seems to collect stormwater so heavily. Residents agreed with the City’s recommendation to have curb and gutter installed throughout the corridor. Residents would like the City to explore channeling stormwater into adjacent park ponds and other natural areas. Residents also suggested the City communicate how the final concept augments water conservation efforts. Residents were also concerned about water quality and are interested in solutions that allow stormwater to infiltrate back into the local soil. A resident asked if a system that filters stormwater before it enters the storm sewer system could be used. Residents are interested in proposed rain gardens, tree trenches and any other options that effectively manage stormwater. The City noted that the maintenance of raingardens would typically fall upon residents. Residents felt that the maintenance of storm sewer systems (including rain gardens) should fall upon the City. A resident responded that not all residents would be able to maintain rain gardens and that the City inquire if a resident is able to maintain a rain garden prior to installation. One resident had a concern about whether children could fall into tree trenches or other stormwater treatment systems. Other residents hoped that the installation of tree trenches and other stormwater systems would not damage the roots of existing trees. ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 9 Transit Facilities Residents noted interest in heated bus shelters at West 58th Street and Xerxes Avenue, and West 58th Street and France Avenue. A bus shelter with a bench was also requested at Wooddale Avenue and West 58th Street for children and faculty traveling to school. A few comments were made regarding bus operators and pedestrian safety. Residents noted the need for bus drivers to exercise more caution when crossing at France Avenue and Xerxes Avenue. Some noted no interest in transit routes along West 58th Street. Animal Safety Residents advocated for animal safety and the importance of wildlife. Residents were interested in both a “turtle tunnel” and a sign to make drivers aware of wildlife crossing the road. Residents noted that a turtle crossing sign should be balanced with other traffic calming measures. Some thought the addition of too many signs will result in non‐ compliance. Residents suggested that a turtle expert be consulted to ensure that efforts would be effective. Other One resident expressed a desire for the project to be used as an educational opportunity. This may include using sidewalks as canvasses to teach children and adults about community history and other subject areas. The City could consider additional components like sidewalk art, wayfinding and educational markers. Other residents would like the City to consider installing additional trash receptacles to accommodate more pedestrians in the area. STAGE 3: FINAL DESIGN After the Small Group Discussions and website forums closed, the plan developed a final design concept. This concept would reflect comments from the public received in Stage 2. Engineering staff and the consultant reviewed the comments prior to starting a design. STAFF COMMENT REVIEW 1. “Final design” was not the best term to use as part of this process. The result of this public participation will not be the final design, but rather a final concept to begin more detailed design. 2. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan recommended greater use of shared‐use paths, based on resident guidance toward connecting schools, parks and neighborhoods with safe and comfortable facilities. The majority of the recommended shared‐use paths form Edina’s Twin Loops, which serve as the backbone of the City’s pedestrian and bicycle networks. 3. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan noted a portion of West 58th Street as part of the Twin Loops network (Pamela Park entrance to Wooddale Avenue). 4. Define the users of the shared‐use path as all ages and abilities such as kids, families, casual cyclists and the “interested but concerned” user group that would prefer a facility separated from motor vehicles. 5. The existing street is not centered within the right‐of‐way. Alternatives try to better balance impacts within the right‐of‐way. 6. Staff has concerns related to the tone of comments which refer to a specific side of the street. Typically, that means a resident who lives on one side of the street requests a feature be constructed on the opposite side. 7. Comments provided at the May 7 City Council Meeting were already received as part of Stage 2 of the defined participation process. All comments provided during the Stage 2 were considered to ensure fair and balanced participation. Comments at all stages should be considered equally. 8. Staff decided to continue the public participation process to answer the following questions: - Feedback about Alternates A, B, and C layouts i. Participation will stipulate that West 58th Street between Wooddale Avenue and France Avenue could have a different street section than France Avenue to Xerxes Avenue. ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 10 - Extent of street lighting improvements (noting that street lighting is an assessable project cost and already exists at all intersections) 9. Additional graphics were created to provide better visuals of potential impacts when separating bikes and pedestrians. 10. Structural changes to make the street feel narrower to drivers has been successful in slowing vehicles in other areas. These techniques include narrower lane widths and planting trees close to the edge of the road to make the driver feel more confined. FINAL CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Topic Area what we heard in Stage 2 what we did Bikes and Pedestrian Facilities - Add bike lane on southern side of West 58th Street - Separate pedestrians from bikes - Concrete sidewalk on the north side of West 58th Street - More frequent crosswalks - Add flashing crosswalk signs at Pamela Park - Cost/benefit of south vs. north sidewalk - Southern sidewalk along Pamela Park - Consider southern sidewalk in other areas - Do not use bituminous pavement on shared‐use path - Route bikes thru Pamela Park or Philbrook Lane - Recommend extending public engagement to gather feedback on Alternates A, B and C - Alt. C provides on‐street bike facilities - Alt. B & C provide a concrete sidewalk - All options provide crosswalk markings with activated flashers at Pamela Park - All options provide a pedestrian facility on the south side from Halifax Avenue to Pamela Park - Crosswalks at other intersections will be considered based on the City’s Pedestrian Crossing Policy, which stipulates how crossing treatments should be installed based on use and context. Pedestrian counts can be collected prior to construction or after construction. Additional marked crosswalks can be installed after construction with minimal impacts. - Alt. A has a narrower overall width that reduces overall impacts but requires a shared‐use path for pedestrians and bicyclists - Bike routes on other streets will not be considered as part of this project based on guidance from the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. Staff recommends the shared‐use path be bituminous pavement for the following reasons: It is less likely to heave and displace than concrete sidewalk panels It can be repaired quicker and more easily than concrete It melts snow and ice more rapidly than concrete The material is less expensive and easier to recycle Industry standard for shared‐use paths ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 11 Vehicle Safety & Speeding - Narrow lanes to slow traffic - Improve sightline issues - Add speed radar sign - Add sightline signage - Prefer dynamic crosswalk at Pamela Park - No mini‐roundabout - All options provide narrow auto lanes to slow traffic but Alt. C feels wider with the additional of on‐street bike lanes - Final design will attempt to improve sightlines in vertical / horizontal directions considering property impacts - There may be trade‐offs in traffic calming interests and sightline issues that will need to be discussed during one‐on‐one resident meetings - Speed limit signs will be added. Driver feedback signs will be considered based on industry standards and guidance from the Traffic Safety Committee. - Signage for blind driveways ahead will be added where grade changes are not possible - All options provide a marked crosswalk with activated flashers at Pamela Park - Mini‐roundabout removed from consideration Parking - Remove Pamela Park parking bay - Consider parking bay west of park - Consider expanding existing parking lot at park - Consider on‐street from France to Wooddale - Parking bay along Pamela Park removed from consideration - Parking bay west of Pamela Park on City property not considered due to topography and sightlines concerns - Parking expansion at Pamela Park outside of the project scope - On‐street parking from France Avenue to Wooddale Avenue not considered due to comments about greater impacts to property, trees and availability of parking on adjacent side streets Driveway Impacts - One‐on‐one meetings with residents - Mail colorful/branded notices to residents - Discuss impacts before final decisions - Have single point of contact for questions - Individual meetings to discuss impacts before bidding is a standard practice for the street reconstruction program for issues such as trees, driveway changes outside the right‐of‐way, landscaping, etc. - Each driveway is unique and may have different solutions - A variety of communication techniques are used for street reconstruction projects, including letters, project web pages, door hangers, etc. - Standard street reconstruction practice is for 2 points of contact: the project manager for questions related to design and process and an engineering technician for construction questions. - Alt. A has the narrowest width that reduces impacts to driveways Retaining Walls - Lannon Stone is acceptable - Use consistently in corridor - Lannon stone retaining walls under 4‐ft in height is a City standard - Retaining walls greater than 4‐ft in height require different materials to ensure safety of the public - Depending on height required, there may be different style retaining walls ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 12 - Edina will also be working with individual property owners whose retaining walls and fences on City property will be affected by construction. There will likely be a need for construction of new retaining walls Tree Impacts and Replacement - Use trees for traffic calming on Blvd. - Preserve mature trees by “weaving” sidewalk - Plant trees that will not cause sightline issues - Grass boulevard or salt‐tolerant plantings - Use native plants and trees - Assess plantings for harsh winter conditions - Intend to plant City Forester‐approved trees within the boulevard based on individual resident input on type and whether or not they want trees - Mature trees will be protected as much as possible while maintaining the minimum width requirements and working with individual property owners - Boulevard will be a combination of grass and trees or other landscaping based on input from individual residents and the City Forester - Alt. A has the narrowest width that reduces impacts to trees Lighting - Lighting focused on dark areas - Pedestrian‐oriented lighting along corridor - Lighting should match neighborhood character - Mitigate light pollution with Dark Sky technology - Lighting will be provided at Pamela Park entrance - Input requested from residents to determine if the project should replace cobra head light fixtures with a more decorative acorn lighting style at intersections from Wooddale Avenue to Xerxes Avenue. Acorn style currently exists between Concord Avenue and Wooddale Avenue - New lights will be Dark Sky‐approved - If lighting is requested by residents, staff feels the lighting should be located on the north side of intersections with Alternative A and the south side of intersections with Alternative B and C Stormwater - Fixing flooding areas along corridor - Install curb and gutter along corridor - Channel water into natural pond - Filter water with native soils - Communicate water conservation applications - Evaluate drain tiles, tree trenches, rain gardens - Efforts will be made to improve drainage. Due to the elevation of the street in relation to the stormwater ponds and Minnehaha Creek, flooding will not be completely solved - Concrete curb and gutter will be installed. - Water currently enters stormwater treatment ponds adjacent to 58th Street near Pamela Park - Invisible tree trenches to route and use the water will be investigated with input from residents Animal Safety - Add turtle crossing sign or passage - Consult turtle expert for solution - Will consult with studies and/or experts on this concern during final design - Concerned with sign pollution based on other signage needs Bus Transit - Heated bus shelters and benches - Trash receptacles for trash/or cigarettes. - Pedestrian facilities needed to walk to bus stops - Shelters, benches and trash receptacles are a Metro Transit consideration; comments will be forwarded for their consideration - Pedestrian facilities will be provided Other - Incorporate educational elements into the design such as sidewalk art, wayfinding, and educational markers - City does not have policy to address these types of design comments ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 13 ADDITIONAL PARTICIPATION STAGE: MAY 31 TO JUNE 20 Staff created three design alternatives and two online surveys to collect more feedback between May 31 and June 20. Staff received 104 responses to multiple‐choice questions and 39 completed feedback forms. FINAL CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Topic Area what we heard in additional participation stage staff comments General Comments - Concern for shared‐use path from a mixing of bikes and pedestrian standpoint - Route bikes thru Pamela Park or Philbrook Lane - Concern for property impacts - Concern for bituminous material of a shared use path - Support for getting bikes and pedestrians off the street - Concern that staff is not listening - Concern with biking up hill in westbound direction - Stormwater - Support for resident submitted Alternate 58‐1 - Mixed feedback – some support and concern for all 3 alternatives - Concern for loss of parking on driveways - Staff has researched the mixing of bikes and pedestrians on share‐use paths. Industry has shown great success with different users being courteous to each other with many real‐world applications currently in practice throughout the Metro Area (such as the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail in Edina). - Bike facilities east of Pamela Park are required per the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. Such facilities will improve access to residents in the Chowen Park and Strachauer Park neighborhoods. - To date, minimizing property impacts has been a staff priority - Staff recommends any shared‐use path along 58th Street be made of bituminous pavement, as is the industry standard. Concrete may be utilized if Council feels this corridor has different needs and requirements than previous projects. Staff has a greater priority on the 8‐ft space needs versus the material type. - Staff analyzed 15 random driveways for current versus proposed parking counts on driveways using a 21‐ft long minivan with 4‐ft buffers between cars or garage and car. No driveways along the north side in this random sample would lose parking. Alternative A - Support because it gets bikes and pedestrians off the road - Support because it has the least amount of impacts to property - Concerns with bituminous shared use path material - Suggestion of 4‐ft bike path, 4‐ft blvd and 4’sidewalk all off street - Support with only needing off‐street facilities on 1‐side ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 14 Alternative B - Property impacts too great - Creates too much pavement or thoroughfare along corridor - Many more statements of concern than statements of support Alternative C - Property impacts too great - Creates too much pavement or thoroughfare along corridor - Many more statements of concern than statements of support Alternative Design Elements #1 Survey Question: How important are the following elements in a final concept? Reduced Property Impacts - 56 out of 104 (57.7%) = important - 26 out of 104 (22.1%) = neutral - 22 out of 104 (20.2%) = not important - Reduced property impacts are important to the respondents - Staff feels Alternative A balances the needs of both residents and City with the least amount of property impacts Alternative Design Elements #2 Survey Question: How important are the following elements in a final concept? Separated off street facilities for bikes and pedestrians - 66 out of 104 (63.5%) = important - 18 out of 104 (17.3%) = neutral - 20 out of 104 (19.2%) = not important - Off‐street facilities for both bikes and pedestrians are important to the respondents - Staff feels Alternative A provides off‐street facilities for both bikes and pedestrians with the least amount of property impacts Alternative Design Elements #3 Survey Question: How important are the following elements in a final concept? On‐street bike facilities - 16 out of 104 (15.4%) = important - 29 out of 104 (27.9%) = neutral 59 out of 104 (56.7%) = not important - On‐street bike facilities are not important to the respondents - Staff is not proposing on‐street bike facilities Alternative Design Elements #4 Survey Question: How important are the following elements in a final concept? Concrete Sidewalk - 62 out of 104 (59.6%) = important - 20 out of 104 (19.2%) = neutral 22 out of 104 (22.2%) = not important - Concrete material is important to the respondents - Staff is more concerned with providing 8‐ft of shared‐use space - Staff will recommend bituminous material for a shared‐use path - Staff would support concrete if Council feels this is an appropriate application Lighting Survey Question: Edina is considering replacing “Cobra” style lighting with “Acorn” style lighting. How important is the change of lighting - 60 out of 104 (57.7%) = important - 23 out of 104 (22.1%) = neutral - 21 out of 104 (20.2%) = not important - New lighting is important to the respondents - Staff will include cost estimates and impacts to assessments for lighting replacements as the engineering study is prepared and shared with residents STAFF COMMENT REVIEW 1. The residents submitted an alternative for consideration called Alt 58‐1 shown below. Some of the elements do not meet Municipal State Aid Standards (MSA) or industry best practices. a. Alt. 58‐1 Proposal ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 15 b. MSA Standards i. Minimum vehicle lane widths 10‐11‐ft with a 1‐2‐ft reaction area. 1. Concrete curb is 1.5‐ft wide – difficult to drive on a. minimum travel lane adjacent to the curb = 10’ + 2’ = 12’ 2. Adjacent to a bike lane a. minimum travel lane adjacent to bike lane = 10’ ii. Minimum bike lane width 5‐6‐ft 1. If bike lane is adjacent to concrete curb a. Minimum width including curb = 1.5’ + 5.0’ = 6.5’ 2. If curb and bike lane are all concrete (examples ‐ 70th St, Tracy Ave) a. 5‐ft minimum but would not recommend minimums on two elements next to each other for safety reasons. Example: if 10‐ft vehicle lane should use 6‐ft bike lane or 11‐ft vehicle lane and 5‐ft bike lane iii. One‐way on‐street bike facility will most likely not gain MSA approval without providing a bike facility in the opposite direction. Unable to confirm at time of report. c. Industry Best Practices i. If bicycle facilities are provided (on‐ or off‐street), they should accommodate travel in both directions. ii. 6‐ft concrete path is considered to have only 5‐ft of accessible space with a 1‐ft buffer to the curb. 2. Other comments noted matching the width of 58th Street between Concord Avenue and Wooddale Avenue constructed in 2005. The typical section has 2‐ 11‐ft lanes with 3‐ft shoulders on each side, 5‐ft blvd with 5‐ft sidewalk. The total width is 38‐ft. Alternative A is 36‐ft wide. 3. 62nd Street between France Avenue and Valley View Road was reconstructed in 2018 and is a MSA Street. The typical section has 13‐ft and 11‐ft travel lanes with 7‐ft parking lane, 2.5‐ft blvd with 8‐ft bituminous‐ shared use path. The total width is 41.5‐ft. Alternative A is 36‐ft wide.

Allow flexibility in the width of the boulevard to protect trees and other substantial items in ROW 5. Analysis of the need for turn lanes at France Avenue and Xerxes Avenue 6. Analysis of parking bays where residents are willing to provide more ROW space and greater property impacts 7. Attempt to improve sightlines in vertical and horizontal directions specifically at hill and intersections 8. Add speed limit signs a. Consider driver feedback signs 9. Add signs for blind driveways ahead 10. Allow residents to decide what goes in the boulevard area – trees, landscaping or turf 11. Provide estimated assessment ranges with and without lighting improvements 12. Improve drainage as much as topography and regulatory requirements allow Justification for Alternative A Narrows travel lanes to slow traffic Least amount of property impacts Provides off‐street bike and pedestrian facility Provides buffer for bikes and pedestrians from vehicles Provides boulevard for landscaping and / or tree trenches Provides enhanced pedestrian crossing at Pamela Park Provides sidewalk from Halifax Avenue to Pamela Park Provides bike and pedestrian facilities per the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 17 Provides more opportunities for stormwater management Provides residents opportunity to allow parking bays Provides residents opportunity to select green treatment in boulevard Provides residents opportunity to include lighting or not based on cost Provides meetings with residents to discuss impacts Minimal loss of parking on driveways NEXT STEPS CITY COUNCIL Approve concept to keep project on schedule with an anticipated 2020 construction CITY STAFF With approved concept, staff will begin preliminary engineering report in anticipation of the public improvement hearing associated with the preliminary street assessments scheduled for December 9, 2019. Until the public hearing date, staff will begin preliminary design to determine initial construction impacts, meet one‐on‐one with property owners with greater impacts to driveways, landscaping, retaining walls, or trees, share estimated assessment ranges and draft the preliminary engineering report. LESSONS LEARNED To continue to improve strategies around public participation, City staff want to continue to gain knowledge from past projects and use these experiences for future projects. Evaluating and documenting the process will provide us with guidance as to which aspects of the process worked well and which may require some improvement. 1. Titles & Definitions Selecting more descriptive titles to reflect where we are in the process would have been beneficial. For example, using the phrase “final design” versus “final design concept” has a different connotation to the residents, and may have inaccurately relayed a message that no additional public input would be considered. Also, providing more detailed definitions of the project components from the beginning would have allowed residents and the City to engage in conversations from a more level playing field. For example, the City could have better defined the potential impacts that section widths have on the various design components (on‐street bike lanes, parking lanes, concrete sidewalk, shared‐use path, etc.). 2. Graphics Visually communicating the impacts and trade‐offs for these types of projects in an effective manner has long been a challenge for the Engineering Department. West 58th Street brought this challenge to another level due to the number of different design components and options residents could consider. Improved graphics could have helped explain potential property impacts, specifically related to the options for pedestrian and bike facilities. 3. Updates Better Together Edina was effective in informing residents about key steps in the process (Open House, online surveys, Small Group Discussions). However, equally necessary were updates in between these key steps. For example, after the Small Group Discussions concluded and the online forums were closed (effectively ending Stage 2), a number of residents were unclear what the next step in the process would be and whether they would be ENGAGEMENT REPORT I WEST 58TH STREET RECONSTRUCTION I CITY OF EDINA 18 permitted to provide additional feedback on a revised concept. Additionally, the City could have better explained at the onset of this project that there would be less‐active stages in the process to allow the City time to synthesize all of the input received. 4. Topic Creation Areas Dividing this large project into smaller topic areas for input was beneficial for the City in understanding the specific concerns of the residents. However, this became challenging as certain topic areas are inextricably linked. For example, the desire to minimize property impacts is at direct odds with the desire for separated facilities for pedestrians, bikes and vehicles. A suggestion for future projects would be to use early stage engagement to establish the priorities and desires of the residents, followed by another stage of engagement to discuss any areas of competing interests. 5. Stage 1 – Gathering Information The tools utilized in Stage 1 to gather information from residents (the Open House “interest sticker” exercise and the online mapping tool) were particularly worthwhile. Because these tools both featured a geographic element as opposed to traditional questionnaires, staff could literally visualize and better understand the topics of interest among the residents and put them in context of the entire project area.

The project is the reconstruction of West 58th Street from Wooddale Avenue on the west end to Xerxes Avenue on the east end. This report is not an appraisal, but rather provides a preliminary opinion of a general range of market benefit, if any, for similar properties. SCOPE OF ASSIGNMENT In accordance with your request, a drive-by viewing of the properties has been made along with some general market comments regarding benefit (if any) for the proposed street improvement project as it relates to the subject market. As noted in the engagement letter, no specific sales data has been collected for this assignment. The general market comments are based on past appraisals, experience, and market information. Pictures of the streets were taken on October 25, 2019 by Evan Waytas. The appraiser (Ethan Waytas) also viewed aerial/satellite image on the county GIS website and Google street view images. A project feasibility report was provided; the conclusions and information from the report were a part of the overall consulting letter analysis. The feasibility report is retained in the appraiser’s workfile. PROJECT The City of Edina is proposing to reconstruct West 58th Street. Per request, you desire to know the benefit (if any) as it impacts properties in the project area. Motivation for the road improvement project stems from deteriorating road surface and/or base. Secondary motivations appear to be to spot repair public utilities. Page 2 Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 AREA DESCRIPTION The City of Edina is a first ring suburban community located approximately 15 minutes south of Downtown Minneapolis. The population was 47,941 as of 2010 census (an increase of 1.1% from the 2000 census). The 2018 estimated population is 52,490 (an increase of 9.50% from 2010). Commercial and industrial users are scattered throughout the city, however, major commercial (Southdale Center) is located along France Avenue South and major industrial near Highway 100 and I- 494. The remainder of the city is mostly made up of single-family residential homes. Edina has a reputation as a stable community. Access to most shopping and surrounding communities is within 5 to 15 minutes. Most existing buildings in the area range from average to good quality. Single family homes generally range in value between $300,000 and $1,000,000+ for the overall city. Within a ½ mile radius of the project area, the average home price over the past two and a half years is around $650,000 while the median sale price is $510,000 (MLS statistics). Most homes are average to good quality. SUBJECT PROPERTIES The project area primarily consists of single-family residential homes. EXISTING STREETS & UTILITIES Physical Condition of the Existing Road: The existing road improvements are asphalt with gravel road base. A portion of the street has concrete curb and gutter, while other portions do not. The road condition, based on the visual inspection of the streets is rated to be poor/fair. There are signs of transverse and alligator cracking, along with some areas of graveling. Note: The city did not provide a feasibility report at this time. Physical Condition of Existing Utilities: The utilities within the neighborhood are public sanitary sewer and public water. The city is proposing to update the utilities as described on the next page. Functional Design of the Road: The existing paved road is very dated, in poor/fair condition, and does have substantial large cracks. The road condition is rated to be poor to fair, portions average. There are signs of transverse and alligator cracking, along with areas of graveling. Roads in poor to fair condition do not meet the expectations of typical market participants in this suburban market for re-development, resale price, and/or updating the current uses. Overall, the existing street improvements are in fair/poor condition, are beginning to look dated and reflect likewise on the adjoining and side street properties. Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 Page 3 PROPOSED ROAD IMPROVEMENT The city is proposing to reconstruct the streets within the project area. Per city, the road will be reduced from 30’ wide to 22’. The properties will receive new concrete curb and gutter. The city indicates that the asphalt road will be removed down to the road base, which will be regraded and compacted as necessary. The city will pave with 5” of new asphalt. In addition, there will be concrete sidewalks on each side of the road (5’ on the north side, 8’ on the south side); there are no existing sidewalks. Public utilities are not a primary part of this project. That said, the city will be putting a cured in-place liner in the sanitary sewer lines as needed, all new fire hydrants, and new gate valves. The city will also be installing a new water main from France to Xerxes. Given the existing condition of the road, the proposed project is logical. If any of the above descriptions change, the benefit due to the project could differ. HIGHEST AND BEST USE The subject project area is located in the eastern portion of the city. The properties in the project area are single-family residential. Owners in the subject area appear to update their property as needed when site and building components wear out or become dated. Owners in the overall area commonly pave their driveways or maintain parking lots as needed, recognizing it adds value when done. Therefore, it is logical to update the road to the subject properties as needed, as these are essential property characteristics that are expected in this market. An informed buyer would consider the condition of the road and traffic flow/management. A well- constructed and good condition road provides aesthetic appeal to a property and efficient/safe traffic flow. Given a choice, a potential informed buyer would likely prefer a newer road with good traffic flow over a deteriorating road with fair traffic flow. If replacement of components of real estate near the end of their economic life in a home or building is postponed, it can be costlier in the long run; delays in replacing components can result in incurring higher interim maintenance costs and potential difficulty in marketing the property. Also, it is typical for the cost of the replacement of an improvement to increase over time. That said it is logical and prudent for market participants to update/replace dated components when needed. Therefore, the highest and best use of the surrounding properties in the project area is for the continued residential use with the proposed infrastructure improvements. Page 4 Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 DISCUSSION OF MARKET BENEFIT Listed below are the factors that will be taken into consideration concerning the potential benefit to the properties. Description Existing Improvements Change 1) Road Surface Poor/Fair New, paved, good 2) Base Condition Poor/Fair Graded, compacted 3) Curb Some concrete curb and gutter, fair condition All new curb 4) Drainage Average, less effective in some areas Average, drainage fixed where appropriate 5) Storm Sewer Yes Yes 6) City water Average New fire hydrants, gate values etc. as noted 7) City sewer Dated/Average New liner 8) Sidewalk None Two new concrete sidewalks 9) Street Lights Average Average 10) Functional Design of Road Dated Good 11) Traffic Management Average Average 12) Pedestrian Use (biking, walking, etc.) Fair Good 13) Median n/a n/a 14) Road Proximity to Properties n/a n/a 15) Dust n/a n/a 16) Visual Impact on Properties Fair Good Based on the preceding grid, the subject properties will improve in 10 of the 16 categories. Market participants generally recognize that roads need replacing when nearing the end of a long economic life. A typical buyer in the subject market commonly prefers a good condition paved road surface road versus an inferior condition paved road surface. In addition to visual benefit, new street improvements provide better and safer use for pedestrians (biking, walking, stroller, rollerblading, etc.) and drivers. The new streets will enhance potential for re-development and/or updating the current properties. Properties that indirectly/directly abut or have driveways/access that exit on the new street will benefit. Based on past appraisals, experience, and general market information, it is not uncommon for properties similar to those in the subject market to realize an increase in price for new street improvements. Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 Page 5 Discussion of Market Benefit – Continued West 58th Street: Given the scope of the project, the age/quality/condition of houses, properties in the area with newer street improvements could see an average price benefit of: • Single family (poor/fair condition, with curb and gutter) $9,000 to $12,000 per lot (higher value homes on the upper end of range) • Single family (poor/fair condition, with no curb and gutter) $10,000 to $15,000 per lot (higher value homes on the upper end of range) Note: Properties on corners or without direct access could have less benefit. For example, a corner lot with only one street being improved might only benefit by 50%. Page 6 Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 CONCLUSION The benefit amount noted above should not be construed or relied on as being an appraisal, but are general observations based on the overall market. If an appraisal were made on the individual properties, the actual benefit amount could vary from market observations above. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Watermain improvements adjacent to the Dublin Reservoir (located along Dublin Road) are also included in this project that will increase the efficiency of the reservoir. The estimated total project cost is $4,481,000. Funding for the entire project will be from a combination of special assessments (from two Assessment Districts) and respective utility funds. The estimated roadway construction cost for Assessment District 1 is $1,947,000 and the estimated roadway construction cost for Assessment District 2 is $537,000. All of these costs will be 100 percent funded by special assessments at a rate of $32,900 per REU for Assessment District 1 and $18,500 per REU for Assessment District 2. Utility improvements amount to $1,997,000 and will be funded through the respective utility funds. INITIATION AND ISSUES: The project was initiated by the Engineering Department as part of the City’s Neighborhood Reconstruction Program, identified in the Capital Improvement Plan. The project complies with the City’s Living Streets Policy, as well as Vision Edina’s mission statement to “provide effective and valued public services” and “maintain a sound public infrastructure.” This project addresses updating substandard infrastructure with improvements associated with the roadway condition, watermain system, storm sewer system, and sanitary sewer system. LOCATION: The project includes Antrim Court, Antrim Road, Antrim Terrace, Down Road, Dublin Circle, Dublin Road, Kerry Road, Lee Valley Road, Shannon Drive, Tralee Drive, West 70th Street, and Wexford Road. A detailed location map of the project is shown in Figure 1. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 3 Figure 1: Project Area Map Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS: Roadways The roadways in this neighborhood were originally constructed between 1958 and 1986 (see Photo 1). Photo 1: Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood, 1969 Approximately 1/3 of roadways in the project area have existing curb and gutter, including Antrim Court, Antrim Terrace, Dublin Circle, and Shannon Drive between Lee Valley Road and the cul de sac. This curb is generally in good condition with less than 10 percent of the total length needing repair. The average roadway width is 27.5 feet (measured from the face of curb to the face of curb or edge of pavement). A recent geotechnical evaluation of the project area shows the roadway section varies from 1.75 inches to 8 inches of bituminous pavement and 7.25 inches to 23.75 inches of aggregate base, over a poorly graded sand and silty sand base. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 5 As part of the City’s Pavement Management Program, all streets are regularly evaluated and rated on a scale from 1 to 100; 100 representing a brand-new road surface and 0 being extremely poor. This rating is referred to as the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), and is determined based on existing conditions and defects (alligator cracking, raveling, potholes, etc.). The average PCI for the City of Edina is 72 and the average PCI for Prospect Knolls A is 16. An example of the current pavement condition can be seen in Photo 2. Photo 2: Existing Pavement Condition The existing geometry of the intersections at Kerry Road/Wexford Road and Wexford Road/Down Road creates a large radius and wide pavement on the southeast side of Wexford Road between the Down Road and Kerry Road intersections. This allows southbound vehicles on Kerry Road that turn onto Wexford Avenue and then take an immediate left onto Down Road to comfortably maneuver through the two intersections at speeds higher than typical or desirable for conventional intersections. Oftentimes, this results in vehicles crossing over the centerline and entering the northbound lane on Down Road. The existing geometry of this intersection is shown in Figure 2. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 6 Figure 2: Kerry Rd/Wexford Rd and Wexford Rd/Down Rd Intersections (Existing Conditions) The intersection of Down Road and Lee Valley Road is currently not centered in the right of way and City employees have stated the intersection is hard to maneuver with snow plows. The existing geometry of this intersection is shown in Figure 3. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 7 Figure 3: Down Rd / Lee Valley Rd Intersection (Existing Conditions) Driveways There are many unique driveways throughout the project area which include brick pavers and colored concrete. Photo 3 shows an example of a driveway with brick pavers in the project area. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 8 Photo 3: Brick Paver Driveway Cul de Sacs There are seven cul de sacs within the project area. Four of the cul de sacs (Antrim Court, Antrim Terrace, Dublin Circle, Shannon Drive), have existing curb and gutter. Two of these four cul de sacs, Antrim Court and Shannon Drive, have center islands that contain trees, landscaping, boulders, etc. Five of the seven total cul de sacs’ diameters differ from the standard diameter of 70 feet; three being larger and two being smaller. Retaining Walls There are 28 retaining walls within the right of way throughout the project area and all appear to be in good condition. Eight of these walls (all less than five feet tall) abut the existing pavement edge. These walls are made from variety of materials including boulders, natural stone, and decorative concrete. Traffic and Crash Data Staff measured traffic volumes and speeds at several locations within or near the neighborhood. Average daily traffic volumes within the neighborhood range between 307 and 754 vehicles per day with 85th percentile speeds between 26.2 and 28.4 miles per hour. Traffic and crash data for this project is shown in Appendix A. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 9 Landscaping Several property owners have landscaping within the right of way. Many of these landscape items are located directly behind the curb or adjacent to existing fire hydrants. Some of these landscape items will need to be removed in order to complete the necessary reconstruction work. Photo 4 shows a typical landscaping feature found in the project’s right of way. Photo 4: Landscaping within ROW Multi-Modal Transportation Pedestrian Facilities There are no existing pedestrian facilities within the project area; however there are existing sidewalks immediately adjacent to the project area on Dewey Hill Road, West 70th Street and Antrim Road. (see Appendix B). Bicycle Facilities There are no bicycle facilities within the project area; however there are existing bike lanes immediately adjacent to the project area on Antrim Road and West 70th Street (see Appendix C). Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 10 Public Utilities Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer system consists of 8 inch and 9 inch vitrified clay pipe (VCP), and 8 inch cast iron pipe (CIP), installed between 1963 and 1986. A portion of the sanitary sewer system lies within a 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement between the Wexford Road cul de sac and Gleason Road. Historical records indicate there have been no sewer back-ups or blockages in the area with the exception of a portion of Lee Valley Road which has had two (see Appendix D). There is no trunk sanitary sewer pipe along W 70th Street. An unknown sized sanitary sewer service pipe conveys wastewater for properties between 7001 Dublin Road and the intersection of W 70th Street and Antrim Road. Watermain The watermain system consists of 6 inch cast iron pipe (CIP) and ductile iron pipe (DIP) with the exception of 16 inch cast iron pipe (CIP) that is located on W 70th Street, and 1.5 inch copper pipe located on Wexford Road, Antrim Court, and Antrim Terrace. All watermain pipe was installed between 1968 and 1986. The overall system has experienced six watermain breaks (see Appendix D). Most of the fire hydrants are original to the neighborhood. A small number of homes in the neighborhood were constructed prior to the availability of municipal water. Although several have had private wells properly sealed, City records suggest two properties remain unsealed based on Utility Billing records. Storm Sewer The storm sewer system consists of 12 inch – 30 inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), 6 inch and 12 inch high density polyethylene (HDPE), and 12 inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP). All storm sewer pipe was installed between 1968 and 1973. The 12 inch CMP is bituminous-lined, and is located within a 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement between the Wexford Road cul de sac and Gleason Road. Additional sections of unknown pipe size and material also exist within the storm sewer system. There are many storm sewer inlets and pipes located throughout the project area. Almost all storm sewer within the project area drains to the south, eventually making its way to William Wardwell Lewis Park. Private Utilities Gas, electric, communications and cable utilities are present in the neighborhood. These utilities are a combination of overheard and underground facilities located in backyards and within the right of way. Various styles of street lights and poles owned by Xcel Energy are located throughout Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 11 the project area as shown in Appendix E. DESIGN INPUT: City Council 2018 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan This plan, part of the draft 2018 Comprehensive Plan, was developed to guide the City’s efforts to create a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. As shown in Appendix B, there are no proposed pedestrian facilities within the project area. Appendix C shows no proposed bicycle facilities within the project area. 2015 Living Streets Policy This policy balances the needs of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability and provide meaningful opportunities for active living and better health. The City will apply the Policy to all street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or change in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. The Living Streets Plan includes 15 principles to guide implementation of the Policy, divided into four categories: All Users and All Modes, Connectivity, Context Sensitivity and Sustainability. Below is a summary of how these principles are incorporated into this project: All Users and All Modes – This project will improve mobility and access to the transportation network for a variety of users, including pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and the disabled. Replacement of the pavement surfaces and traffic control signage will enhance safety and convenience for all users. Connectivity – This project involves maintaining a transportation system that can accommodate all modes of travel. Context Sensitivity – Engineering strives to preserve and protect natural features within or adjacent to construction sites where feasible, including trees, waterways and sensitive slopes. Residents within the project area were invited to complete a questionnaire soliciting input on project design components, including multi-modal transportation, street lighting and local drainage problems. Sustainability – Engineering works closely with Public Works to implement infrastructure improvements with consideration of lifecycle costs and future maintenance. The new roadway section can be easily maintained long-term Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 12 with the use of proactive rehabilitation treatments, which will significantly extend the life of the pavement. Reductions in impervious surfaces benefit water quality, and may lessen the demand for chemicals to manage snow and ice (such as chloride). Construction operations are required to use the smallest footprint necessary to complete the work; this includes utilizing trenchless technologies, such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe liners. This project will also reduce inflow and infiltration of clean water into the sanitary sewer system, minimizing regional wastewater treatment, reducing the risk of sewage surcharges and limiting the risk of back-ups to residential properties. Relevant portions of the Living Streets Plan can be found in Appendix F. City of Edina Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan The CWRMP identified one area of flood inundation within the project area for both the 10-percent and 1-percent-annual-chance flood event (also referred to as the 10-year and 100-year frequency event, respectively). This area is along Antrim Court, shown in Figure 4. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 13 Figure 4: Antrim Court Flood Zone (SWP_52) This modeled inundation area appears to impact the boulevard and structure at 2 Antrim Terrace. Approximately 8.2 acres of stormwater from the neighboring properties drains to the City’s storm sewer system in this area, which flows east towards Shannon Drive, and eventually drains to William Wardwell Lewis Park. The primary overflow location of this inundation area is to the southwest towards 5912 Lee Valley Road. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 14 Staff Public Works A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Public Works Department. Public Works staff do not have concerns regarding the proposed improvements. Police and Fire A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Police and Fire Departments. The Police Department does not have concerns regarding the proposed improvements. The Fire Department agrees and supports the proposed 27 foot wide roadways for the majority of the project area, the proposed parking recommendations found in Table 1, and the proposed watermain and fire hydrant improvements. Edina Transportation Commission Prior to the Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) regular meeting on October 24, 2019, a draft engineering study was provided for review. ETC members did not have any questions or concerns regarding the proposed improvements. Residents As part of the Engineering Department’s practice of notifying residents 2-3 years prior to a potential reconstruction project, residents were invited to three open houses between September 2017 and August 2019. Materials from these meetings are available upon request. In early June, 2019, residents were asked to complete a questionnaire, soliciting feedback on motorized and non-motorized transportation, street lighting and local drainage problems within the project area. The questionnaire was completed by 48 of 91 property owners, a return rate of 53%. The following is a summary of feedback received from residents: 13 of 48 (27%*) were concerned or very concerned with the speed of traffic in the neighborhood; 35 (73%) were not concerned. 15 of 46 (33%) were concerned or very concerned with motorist behavior in the neighborhood; 31 (67%) were not concerned. 22 of 43 (51%) identified an unsafe intersection within the neighborhood. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 15 26 of 45 (58%) walk, run, or jog in the neighborhood at least 2-3 times per week. 8 of 45 (18%) ride a bicycle in the neighborhood at least 2-3 times per week. 7 of 45 (16%) reported parking on the street at least 2-3 times per week; 36 (80%) reported parking on the street less than once per month. 8 of 48 (17%) identified localized drainage problems in the neighborhood. *Percentages based on number of returned surveys The full questionnaire and responses can be found in Appendix G. A neighborhood informational meeting was held on August 12, 2019 to discuss the improvements planned for this neighborhood and others proposed for construction in 2020. The meeting was attended by 27 residents representing 22 properties within the project area. Relevant correspondence from residents regarding the project can be found in Appendix J. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS: The proposed improvements acknowledge many of the comments and concerns raised by residents throughout the information gathering process, while still maintaining the desired minimum standards of Engineering, Public Works and other City staff. Roadways Typical Section The bituminous roadways are proposed to be completely reconstructed to the subgrade. Based to the adequate amount of aggregate base, recycling the existing pavement and aggregate base for use as base material in the new roadways is practical and will be implemented on most of the roadways. Based on lack of existing pavement on W 70th St. and Wexford Rd., 8 inches of aggregate base material will be hauled in, graded and compacted as the base layer prior to placement of 2.5 inches of bituminous base and 1.5 inches of bituminous wear course. Unsuitable subgrade materials will be replaced as necessary to provide adequate support for the new roadbed. The reconstructed sections will meet the requirements of a minimum 20-year pavement design life based on projected traffic loadings. All roadways within the project area are designated as Local Streets in the Living Streets Plan. Per this plan’s design guidelines, Local Streets have concrete curb and gutter and a typical width of 27 feet (measured from the Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 16 face of curb to the face of curb) without sidewalks. The majority of the roadways are proposed to be reconstructed to 27 feet. Due to the existing curb and gutter being in good condition, Antrim Court, Antrim Terrace, Dublin Circle, and Shannon Drive between Lee Valley Road and the cul de sac, are proposed to remain their current widths. Kerry Road will be reconstructed to 24 feet in order to save mature trees and existing retaining walls, and because of existing steep slopes in the boulevards. Parking The City’s Living Streets Policy evaluates on-street parking based on classification, adjacent land uses, existing demand and costs of construction and maintenance. Because the City standard street width of 27 feet is proposed on most streets, staff believes that two-sided parking within the project area is appropriate. The existing and proposed street widths and parking recommendations are shown in Table 1. Street Existing Roadway Width¹ (face to face), feet Existing Curb Type Proposed Roadway Width (face to face), feet Proposed Parking Antrim Court 29 Surmountable 29 Two-sided Antrim Road 26-27.5 N/A 27 Two-sided Antrim Terrace 29 Surmountable 29 Two-sided Down Road 26-28.5 N/A 27 Two-sided Dublin Circle 29.75 B618 29.75 Two-sided Dublin Road 24.4-30 N/A 27 Two-sided Kerry Road 23.6-25.5 N/A 24 One-sided Lee Valley Road 28.3-30 N/A 27 Two-sided Shannon Drive (Lee Valley Road to cul de sac) 29 Surmountable 29 Two-sided Shannon Drive (Kemrich Drive to Lee Valley Road) 29 N/A 27 Two-sided Tralee Drive 27.5-30 N/A 27 Two-sided West 70th Street 25.2-27.5 N/A 27 Two-sided Wexford Road 23-25 N/A 27 Two-sided ¹Existing roadway width is measured from edge of bituminous to edge of bituminous on streets with no curb and gutter Table 1: Street Widths and Parking Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 17 Approximately 1/3 of roadways in the project area have existing curb and gutter. This curb and gutter has been evaluated and it has been determined that spot repairs can be performed in lieu of removing and replacing the curb. It is estimated that less than 10% of the total curb length will need to be replaced. Besides these intermittent spot repairs, all existing curb and gutter will remain in place, and the roadway will remain its existing width. The proposed geometry of the intersections of Kerry Road/Wexford Road and Wexford Road/Down Road is shown in Figure 5. The width of Wexford Road and Down Road is proposed to be 27 feet from face of curb to face of curb and the width of Kerry Road is proposed to be 24 feet from face of curb to face of curb. This will reduce the large existing radius between Down Road and Kerry Road, forcing drivers to slow down as they maneuver through the two intersections. Figure 5: Kerry Rd/Wexford Rd and Wexford Rd/Down Rd Intersections The proposed geometry of the Down Road and Lee Valley Road intersection is shown in Figure 6. The proposed roadway will move west from its existing location to be more centered within the right of way. However, the roadway may only move approximately 1–3 feet due to existing retaining walls and power pole guy wires on the west and southwest side of the roadway. The widths of Down Road and Lee Valley Road are proposed to be 27 feet from face of curb to face of curb. The width of the roadway through the curve is Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 18 proposed to be 30 feet in order to help snow plow drivers maneuver the turn easier. The southern curb line through the curve is proposed to receive surmountable curb so snow plows can safely and easily push snow into the boulevard. Figure 6: Proposed Down Rd/Lee Valley Rd Intersection Roadway Signage All traffic signage within the project area, including street name blades, will be replaced to improve visibility and reflectivity (see Appendix H). All new signs will conform to the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). No Parking signs are proposed on one side of Kerry Road due to the proposed 24 foot wide roadway. Driveways Any driveways that will be affected by construction will be reconstructed. The unique driveways throughout the project area, including brick pavers, will be re-laid back to their original condition. Cul de Sacs Due to the location of the existing retaining walls, utility poles, large trees, and available right of way, no significant change to the size and geometrics of the cul de sacs are proposed. Landscaping Any landscaping disturbed by construction will be replaced. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 19 Multi-Modal Transportation Pedestrian Facilities There are no proposed pedestrian facilities in this project area. Bicycle Facilities There are no proposed bicycle facilities in this project area. Public Utilities Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer main has been televised, and portions will be repaired using a combination of open cut and cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) methods. These repairs will address the issues of cracks, pipe offsets, and groundwater infiltration into the sewer main. Spot repairs will occur on Shannon Drive, Antrim Court, Antrim Terrace, and within the existing 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement between the Wexford Road cul de sac and Gleason Road. It is proposed that all sanitary trunk pipe be lined within the project limits. New trunk sanitary sewer pipe is proposed along W 70th Street between 7001 Dublin Road and the intersection of W 70th Street and Antrim Road. This new pipe will connect to the existing manhole at the intersection of W 70th Street and Antrim Road. Sanitary sewer services will be connected as needed. All sanitary manhole castings will also be removed and replaced to reduce inflow and infiltration of storm water. Watermain Echologics, LLC was hired by the City to perform a non-invasive pipe condition assessment on the watermain within the project area, and staff has reviewed historical break data to determine the extent of improvements needed. There are proposed watermain improvements adjacent to the Dublin Reservoir (located on Dublin Road) which include installing 12 inch and 16 inch watermain. These improvements are part of the City of Edina’s Water Supply Plan. The watermain improvements between the reservoir and Gleason Road have been amended from the Water Supply Plan, changing from 16 inch to 12 inch watermain pipe. This change is due to the refinement of the design, based on the preferred alignment and trying to limit the pipe size. The new 12 inch watermain design will still provide the desired level of service. The proposed 12 inch watermain, located between the reservoir and Gleason Road, will be installed via open-cut and Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 20 methods. The open-cut installation will occur between the reservoir and Wexford Road cul de sac (via Dublin Road, Kerry Road, and Wexford Road). This proposed 12 inch DIP watermain will replace the existing 6 inch DIP watermain and 1.5 inch copper pipe along this route. HDD installation will occur from the Wexford Road cul de sac to Gleason Road within the existing 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement owned by the City. Watermain installation via HDD is proposed 12 inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The 16 inch watermain adjacent to the reservoir is proposed between the reservoir and Antrim Road, along W 70th Street, via open-cut installation method. The proposed 16 inch DIP watermain will replace the existing 16 inch CIP along this route. Echologics, LLC could not confirm if the wall thickness of the existing watermain pipe had decreased since it was installed. Upsizing the watermain will increase the pumping efficiency of the Dublin Reservoir. All 1.5 inch copper trunk pipe within the project area will be removed and replaced with either 6 inch or 12 inch DIP. These areas include Antrim Court, Antrim Terrace, and Wexford Road. All gate valves and fire hydrants, installed between 1968 and 1986, will be replaced and, if needed, additional hydrants will be installed to meet current public safety standards. The new fire hydrants will include the Storz nozzle fittings desired by the Edina Fire Department for quick connection of fire hoses. If proposed roadways narrow or widen, new fire hydrants will be adjusted horizontally to meet City standard distances from the curb line. As part of the City’s Wellhead Protection Plan, staff plans to engage property owners who have unsealed private wells and encourage them to have them properly sealed. Water service pipe will be extended to properties that do not have existing water services. All of the proposed improvements to the water main system will optimize water flow for firefighting and improve water quality. Storm Sewer Based on existing conditions and the scope of utility work, new concrete curb and gutter will be installed where there is no existing curb and gutter. It has been determined that the existing curb and gutter on Dublin Circle, Antrim Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 21 Terrace, Antrim Court, and Shannon Drive between Lee Valley Road and the cul de sac, is in good condition, and will remain in place. Installing new curb and gutter will provide a continuous, functional conduit for stormwater. Five existing storm sewer structures will be removed and replaced due to their poor condition. The 12 inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) storm sewer located inside the existing 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement between the Wexford Road cul de sac and Gleason Road is proposed to be rehabilitated via cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) methods. It has been determined that lining the pipe is feasible and can be completed without drastically impacting the capacity of the pipe. Figure 4 showed the 10-year and 100-year floodzone inundation area impacting the boulevard and structure at 2 Antrim Terrace. The City of Edina’s stormwater modeling consultant stated that a large retaining wall separating the flood inundation area and the structure provides enough of a barrier between the two that impact to the structure is unlikely. The stormwater modeling consultant believes this area provides a benefit by temporarily storing the stormwater. It is proposed to investigate this area’s primary overflow location for signs of erosion, and repair if necessary. All storm sewer manhole castings and catch basin castings will be removed and replaced as part of this project, including where there is existing curb and gutter. Private Utilities Staff met with representatives of several private utility companies on November 14, 2019, to discuss the proposed 2020 reconstruction projects and preliminary improvements. Portions of the private utility networks may receive upgrades prior to construction; however, this work is not part of the City’s project. CenterPoint Energy plans replacement of all existing gas main within the project limits with 2 inch plastic pipe. Currently, the City does not have a standard to determine where and when street lighting should be improved. Unlike other infrastructure improvements, lighting can be installed at a later date with minimal disturbance through the use of trenchless technologies. The lighting in the neighborhood is sufficient to delineate the intersections; therefore, staff is recommending no revisions to the current street lighting. Engineering Study Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458 November 26, 2019 22 RIGHT-OF-WAY/ EASEMENTS: Existing roadway right-of-way in this neighborhood is 60 feet wide. There is an existing 15 foot wide drainage and utility easement that is located between the Wexford Road cul de sac and Gleason Road. It is anticipated that all of the roadway improvements can be completed within the existing roadway right of way. Additional temporary construction easements are needed in order to complete the watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer improvements between Wexford Road and Gleason Road. Many properties have vegetation, boulders, retaining walls or other landscaped items within the City right-of-way. A portion of these landscape items will interfere with some of the proposed infrastructure improvements and will need to be removed in order to complete the necessary work. PROJECT COSTS: The total estimated project cost is $4,481,000 (see Table 2). The total cost includes direct costs for engineering, clerical and construction finance costs from the start of the project to the final assessment hearing. Table 2: Estimated Project Costs ASSESSMENTS: The assessments are based on the City’s Special Assessment Policy, and will be levied against the benefiting adjacent properties pursuant to Chapter 429 of the Minnesota State Statues.

Economy 8 2. Living Streets Policy INTRODUCTION The Living Streets Policy was developed to provide the framework for a Living Streets Plan. The policy initially stood alone and included sections to guide the creation of the Living Street Plan. This revised policy is now an integral part of the Living Streets Plan. The Living Streets Policy ties directly to key community goals outlined in the City’s 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Those goals include safe walking, bicycling and driving; reduced storm water runoff, reduced energy consumption, and promoting health. The Living Streets Policy also compliments voluntary City initiatives such the “do.town” effort related to community health, Tree City USA and the Green Step Cities programs related to sustainability. In other cases, the Living Streets Policy will assist the City in meeting mandatory requirements set by other agencies. The Living Streets Policy is broken up into three parts: Vision, Principles and Implementation. The Policy is followed by a description of core services provided by the City of Edina that are related to or implemented in part through Living Streets. POLICY Living Streets balance the needs of motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability, and provide meaningful opportunities for active living and better health. The Living Streets Policy defines Edina’s vision for Living Streets, the principles Living Streets will embody, and the plan that will guide implementation of their construction. LIVING STREETS VISION Edina is a place where ... • Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible; • Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike; • Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity; • Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity; • Public policy strives to promote sustainability through balanced infrastructure investments; • Environmental stewardship and reduced energy consumption are pursued in public and private sectors alike; and • Streets support vibrant commerce and add to the value of adjacent land uses. Mini Fact Expect cyclists on the road. Watch for cyclists on the road. Treat them as you would any slow-moving vehicle. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 9 LIVING STREETS PRINCIPLES Fifteen principles guide implementation of the Living Streets Policy in the areas of all users and all modes, connectivity, context sensitivity and sustainability. The City will incorporate these principles when planning for and designing the local transportation network and when making public and private land use decisions. All Users and All Modes Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and the disabled; and Principle 2: Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while enhancing safety and convenience for all users. Connectivity Principle 3: The City designs, operates and maintains a transportation system that provides a highly connected network of streets that accommodate all modes of travel; Principle 4: The City seeks opportunities to overcome barriers to active transportation by preserving and repurposing existing rights-of-way and adding new rights- of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit; Principle 5: The City prioritizes improvements to non-motorized connections to key destinations such as public facilities, public transit, the regional transportation network and commercial areas; Principle 6: The City will require new developments to provide interconnected street and sidewalk networks that connect to existing or planned streets or sidewalks on the perimeter of the development; and Principle 7: Projects will include consideration of the logical termini by mode. For example, the logical termini for a bike lane or sidewalk may extend beyond the traditional limits of a street construction or reconstruction project, in order to ensure multimodal connectivity and continuity. Context Sensitivity Principle 8: Living Streets are developed with input from stakeholders and designed to consider neighborhood character and promote a strong sense of place; Principle 9: Living Streets preserve and protect natural features such as waterways, urban forest, sensitive slopes and soils; Principle 10: Living Streets are designed and built with coordination between business and property owners along commercial corridors to develop vibrant commercial districts; Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 10 Principle 11: Living Streets coordinate with regional transit networks and regional authorities; and Principle 12: The City will consider the fiscal context of projects and potential financial impacts when implementing Living Streets at the project level. Sustainability Principle 13: Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public, Principle 14: Living Streets will reduce environmental impacts associated with the construction and operation of roadways; and Principle 15: The City will increase the life span and resilience of its infrastructure and will build infrastructure with consideration for lifecycle costs and ease of maintenance. LIVING STREETS IMPLEMENTATION The City of Edina will develop Living Streets in the regular course of business of maintaining, expanding or redeveloping the road network and will be guided by the Vision and Principles established above. Implementation will happen predominantly through the neighborhood street reconstruction program, but also though specific stand-alone stormwater utility, pedestrian, bicycle or safety projects. Project prioritization is not specifically part of the Living Streets Plan. Prioritization of projects takes place in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and Budget and is determined by the City Council with guidance from the Living Streets Vision and Principles. The City will actively promote and apply the Living Streets Policy and Plan by: • Applying the Living Streets Policy and Plan to all street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or changes in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. This also includes privately built roads, sidewalks, paths and trails. • Drawing on all sources of transportation funding and actively pursuing grants, cost-sharing opportunities and other new or special funding sources as applicable. • Through all City departments supporting the vision and principles outlined in this Plan in their work. • By acting as an advocate for Living Streets principles when a local transportation or land use decision is under the jurisdiction of another agency. Projects that implement Living Streets will be guided by pedestrian and cyclist network plans and roadway classifications and will consider the physical, social, ecologic, regulatory and economic context in a given project area. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 11 The project delivery system used to build Living Streets will: • Systematically engage Edina residents and project stakeholders to better inform project-level recommendations. • Keep Edina residents and project stakeholders informed about Living Streets and the range of services they help provide. • Follow minimum Living Streets design requirements and standards. • Manage construction impacts to residents and users of streets. Network The creation of a Living Streets network of road, pedestrian and bicycle facilities provides mobility, accessibility and access to people, places and spaces. The resulting interconnection of neighborhoods links people to goods and services and to one another, and increases quality of life for those who live in, work in, or visit the city. Existing and planned transportation networks are identified in the City of Edina Comprehensive Plan and other approved/adopted plans. Network plans include: • Roadway Network (Functional Classification, Jurisdictional Classification) • Sidewalk Facilities • Bicycle Facilities (Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan) • Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan • Transit Service Network plans are approved by the City Council. In most cases, modification requires an amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. The expansion, creation and improvement of pedestrian and bicycle networks will be well planned and prioritized: • Expansion of existing networks and providing connections to key traffic generators or destinations provide immediate benefit to all network users and is a top priority. • Network connections serving vulnerable users such as children, seniors and the disabled are a top priority. • Network connections serving high-volume uses such as schools, retail destinations or regional public transit are a top priority. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 12 Context Contextual variety can either constrain or create opportunity in roadway and other infrastructure projects. The following are contexts that will be considered and will influence the planning, design and implementation of Living Streets. Exceptions Living Streets principles will be included in all street construction, reconstruction, repaving and rehabilitation projects, except under one or more of the conditions listed below. City staff will document proposed exceptions as part of a project proposal. • A project involves only ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable condition, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair or pothole filling, or when interim measures are implemented on a temporary detour. Such maintenance activities, however, shall consider and meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians. CONTEXTS OF LIVING STREETS Ecological Water resource, ponds, wetlands, lakes, streams Natural resouces, trees, and urban forest Air quality Climate Sun and shade Materials, waste, energy, sustainability Regulatory State Aid roadway Watershed rules Operational Maintenance operations Traffic control or functional constraints Project Type Public Neighborhood street reconstruction Neighborhood street reconstruction with major associated utility work State Aid street reconstruction Stand-alone sidewalk, bicycle or utility project Public partner lead State County Transit agency Parks district Private development Will remain private Future public Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 13 • The City exempts a project due to an excessively disproportionate cost of establishing a bikeway, walkway or transit enhancement as part of a project. • The City determines that the construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because of significant or adverse environmental impacts to waterways, flood plains, remnants or native vegetation, wetlands or other critical areas. • Available budget is constrained or project timing allows more efficient construction at a later date. Engagement Members of the public have an interest in understanding and providing input for public projects. Project recommendations will be developed with a transparent and defined level of public engagement. The public will have access to the decision-making process and decision makers via public meetings and other correspondence and will be provided the opportunity to give input throughout the process. Project reports will discuss how their input helped to influence recommendations and decisions. The City of Edina’s Living Streets will continue to engage and solicit public input as a vital component of the project implementation process. See Chapter 5 for a more detailed discussion regarding the purpose of and opportunities for public engagement. Design The guidelines contained in the Living Streets Plan will be used to direct the planning, funding, design, construction, operation and maintenance of new and modified streets, sidewalks, paths and trails. The guidelines allow for context-sensitive designs. The Design Guidelines (see Chapter 6): • Keep street pavement widths to the minimum necessary. • Provide well-designed pedestrian accommodation in the form of sidewalks or shared-use pathways on all arterial, collector and local connector streets. Sidewalks shall also be required where streets abut a public school, public building, community playfield or neighborhood park. Termini will be determined by context. • Provide frequent, convenient and safe street crossings. These may be at intersections designed to be pedestrian friendly, or at mid-block locations where needed and appropriate. • Provide bicycle accommodation on all primary bike routes. • Allocate right-of-way for boulevards. • Allocate right-of-way for parking only when necessary and not in conflict with Living Streets principles. • Consider streets as part of our natural ecosystem and incorporate landscaping, trees, rain gardens and other features to improve air and water quality. The Design Guidelines in this Plan will be incorporated into other City plans, manuals, rules, regulations and programs as appropriate. As new and better practices evolve, the City will update this Living Streets Plan. Minimum standards will guide how vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle networks interact and share public right of way. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 14 Benchmarks and Performance Measures The ability to measure the performance of a plan, as well as knowing that it is functioning as it is intended, is vitally important to overall success and the ability to sustain it. With this in mind, the City will monitor and measure its performance relative to the Living Streets Policy. Benchmarks that will demonstrate success include: Every street and neighborhood is a comfortable place for walking and bicycling. This does not mean that every street in the city will have walking and biking facilities. It means that each neighborhood will provide a network of these facilities such that walking and biking to and through neighborhoods is a comfortable experience. Every child can walk or bike to school or a park safely. It is essential that alternatives to driving to school or parks be provided to children and their caregivers. These alternatives – walking or bicycling – will be both safe and convenient modes of transportation. See the Edina Active Routes to School Plan for more information. Seniors, children, and disabled people can cross all streets safely and comfortably. Opportunities to cross all streets in Edina, including local, collectors and arterial streets, will be provided. These crossings will be safe and comfortable for all users, regardless of age or ability. An active way of life is available to all. Opportunities for active living should be made available to all members of the Edina community by connecting centers of activity via active, multimodal transportation. Each resident of and visitor to Edina will have the ability to lead an active way of life. There are zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Perhaps the ultimate safety benchmark is zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Modeled from the Vision Zero Initiative (www.visionzeroinitiative.com), an aspirational yet primary goal of Living Streets is to achieve this high level of safety on the City’s roadways. Reduce untreated street water flows into local waterways and reduce storm water volume. Cost-effective stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are strategically selected to go above and beyond regulatory requirements to provide for flood protection and clean water services through the use of infrastructure that retains, settles, filters, infiltrates, diverts or reduces the volume of stormwater that flows to local surface waters. Retail streets stay or become popular regional destinations. Part of Edina’s Living Streets vision is that “streets support vibrant commerce.” While most of the city’s streets are residential, Edina’s business districts are a vital part of the community. The benefits of Living Streets extend to retail streets as well, making them more attractive to businesses and consumers alike. Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy 15 The City will draw on the following data to measure performance: • Number of crashes or transportation-related injuries reported to the Police Department. • Number and type of traffic safety complaints or requests. • Resident responses to transportation related questions in resident surveys. • Resident responses to post-project surveys. • The number of trips by walking, bicycling and transit (if applicable) as measured before and after the project. • Envision ratings from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure. • Additional performance measures may be identified as this Policy is implemented.

Schoolbuses have also lost control and slid downhill at angles that result in the street becoming blocked and the bus needing emergency towing assistance 7/28/2019 1:39 PM 2 Street surface is deteriorating 6/20/2019 5:09 PM 3 Our street is in terrible shape and needs to be changed so all water and debris from storms doesn't end up in our yard as we are at end of culture-de-sac 6/18/2019 12:16 PM 4 The streets are in very poor condition.6/18/2019 2:23 AM 5 IT WORKS FINE AS IT IS 6/16/2019 4:10 PM 6 My street, Tralee Drive, is falling apart everywhere. You finally filled in a bomb size pot hole that had been there for 3 years. I have a pothole at the bottom of my driveway with dirt and rocks exposed. I see you replacing roads that look fine and have curbs. Stop pushing our project back and update our street. 6/13/2019 9:47 AM 7 Physical condition of Lee Valley Road/Down Road in particular is HORRIBLE -- craters and potholes everywhere. City occasionally patches a few of the bigger ones, but that stretch of road remains in terrible condition generally. 6/13/2019 4:28 AM 8 Very poor roads 6/11/2019 5:50 AM 9 There isn’t room for a sidewalk on our street, it is already a narrow and winding road so any narrowing of the street would cause it to become dangerous. Please don’t ruin this beautiful neighborhood with unnecessary narrowing of the roads or sidewalks. 6/10/2019 11:44 AM 10 The surface of the street is not in need of repair and sidewalks are not needed. Any problems are a result of utility companies not properly repairing damage caused by their installations, including damage to the connection of house lines to public lines in the street. 6/10/2019 7:02 AM 11 we are on a quiet circle.. The people moving lawns use our circle for a turn around - but normally its a nice quiet area-- Thank goodness 6/10/2019 5:20 AM 12 fix the pot holes!!!!6/9/2019 6:21 AM 13 Roads are in poor shape 6/9/2019 5:53 AM 25 / 28 Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction Resident Questionnaire 18.60%8 81.40%35 Q22 Do you favor improving the streetlights in your neighborhood (residential streetlights are funded by special assessment)?

Its difficult for drivers to see people walking until the last moment. There is a street light on the other side of the cul-de-sac but it is totally inadequate. 6/19/2019 8:24 AM 5 I would prefer to limit the number and brightness of street lighting. This is a quiet, lovely neighborhood and we don't need the light pollution or waste of energy in making night into day. I'm not afraid and visibility is already good. 6/13/2019 3:26 AM 6 Some areas are not well lit.6/11/2019 2:30 AM 7 Most of us have outside lights and again we are a quiet circle- No one really comes down here unless they turn around or are gawking at homes.. Its a sweet spot -- No lights needed - as we all have already addressed that. 6/10/2019 5:20 AM Yes No 0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80%90%100% ANSWER CHOICES RESPONSES Yes No 26 / 28 Prospect Knolls A Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction Resident Questionnaire 2.27%1 2.27%1 4.55%2 2.27%1 6.82%3 6.82%3 6.82%3 9.09%4 Q23 What is your street name?

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Gentlemen, Today we received in the mail a notice of a newly defined Assessment District 2 in the Prospect Knolls A roadway reconstruction. Whether this is intended to be a partial response to our earlier petition or coincidentally a parallel effort, likely does not matter. Overall, I must say I am LESS CLEAR on what the city believes it needs to do with our street than I was before. The staff recommendation has added a number of bullet points that have caused this additional confusion. Some of them clearly do NOT pertain to our street. Others, with the possible exception of fire hydrants, are not clear as to where the city expects to do such work in each project. Further, if I recall the original communication content for the Prospect Knolls area, I do not believe there was any mention of sewer, watermain or fire hydrant work on Shannon Drive. Is this still the case or are these new additions to the requested work plan? We would request an opportunity to meet with you to get clarity on the recommendation for Shannon Drive. It remains our belief and request that our street can be duly maintained with a mill and overlay solution. One additional point of note that I believe should be corrected immediately. It is not clear how 5812 Lee Valley Road can be included in a different project District. 5812 Lee Valley Road is directly across the street from 5811 Shannon Road (see map and photo). They share the same roadway, so it seems that what will be done for one would also apply to the other. In the attached photo, 5811 is behind the yellow sign on the right and 5812 is the first driveway on the left. Same roadway for both homes. Thanks in advance for your willingness to discuss this important topic further. We look forward to hearing from you. 1 Best, Greg Good 7028 Shannon Drive 2 Aaron Ditzler From:Toby Muse <tmuse@sehinc.com> Sent:Wednesday, November 20, 2019 1:12 PM To:Chad Millner Subject:Re: Fwd: Assessment Hearing Ad and Project Costs EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina.

A number of us have been following the information on this proposed effort, beginning with information meetings last summer and including various communications with members of the city engineering and transportation departments. The more we have learned about the project and its intended purpose, the more convinced we have become that the proposed “solution” is NOT an appropriate fit for our street. Having received similar inputs from our neighbors, and on behalf of ALL family residential units on our street, I am sending you the attached petition requesting approval for an alternative approach for the roadway serving our street. A brief summary of what you will find in the attached petition: Our street (21 homes on Shannon Drive plus one on Lee Valley Road) is misplaced in its inclusion as part of Prospect Knolls “A”. The current condition of our road, based on PCI scores, does not warrant a full road reconstruction. We have the support of 100% (all 22 homeowners) on our street who believe a mill and overlay approach is adequate to maintain the condition of our road surface. We request the Engineering Department consideration and City Council support to change the city’s approach from a full road reconstruction to a mill and overlay solution. While we plan to have members of our neighborhood present during the public discourse on this project in December, we wanted to get this request in front of you as early as possible for a different decision to be made and put into the project plans. The original copies of this petition will also be delivered soon to the Engineering Department at City Hall.

I think that is a miss from a city perspective Aaron. First, I would expect that the bulk of the informational content is the same, therefore still very applicable to those scheduled for 2020 whom may not have been able to attend the session in August. Second, if Better Together Edina is intended to be “the site” to improve communication, why isn’t this meeting posted on that site?? It becomes a bit confusing from a resident perspective on just where and how we are to find relevant information – Better Together? City website? Direct mailing? Unfortunately, I think the answer needs to be all of the above. Speaking from a perspective of work with Park & Rec, the burden is on the city to broaden communication, not on the resident to find it.

EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi there, Just a quick heads up to let you know that a new question has been asked at 2020 Street Reconstruction Projects by GGood. The question that was asked is: While I was not able to attend the recent meeting, my neighbors have advised me of "the plan" and I have reviewed the material presented on this site. The one question that you must be expecting from the residents of Prospect Knolls A is a simple one ‐ "How does the city consider this to be a fair assessment??" First, on a "like for like" comparison, the two projects scheduled for next year (Melody Lake and Prospect Knolls) are somewhat similar ‐ same timing and same project size from roadway and amount of paving. Though the Melody Lake project appears to include water line services and a significant amount of sidewalks, which are NOT part of the Prospect Knolls effort. Yet the cost to a Prospect Knolls resident is likely 60% higher than the Melody Lake project. Second, when compared to prior year projects, I have been advised that the per household assessment expected to be levied to Prospect Knolls residents is even more of a premium than what other residents paid for street improvements. This is basic street repair. There is no differentiated benefit to Prospect Knolls A residents that warrants such an egregious premium. In fact, it appears to be primarily driven by the city's selective decision in what area to be carved out and how to pay for the work being performed. One could argue that even the selected methodology for assessment is likely not a fair approach for residents within each bounded project area! City streets are a basic requirement of good city governance. It is difficult to understand why ongoing upkeep has not been part of forward capital planning and thus built into current and future tax proceeds. The streets in my area of the city have no greater benefit or utility than those in Melody Lake or any other project that has been completed over the past several years ‐ at a significantly lower cost to our residents. I would expect considerable concern and displeasure will be voiced regarding this proposal. But then again, we only represent 88.17 REUs, so just how much noise can we make anyway.

Good morning – A neighbor recently sent around an email asking whether I was aware of potential road construction and contemplated assessments for that road construction in our neighborhood. We reside at 5805 Shannon Drive. Can you please send to me any public information available on the status of this project, any anticipated costs that might be assessed against homeowners, and where in the process this is?

At the conclusion of our Engineering Study we will refine the estimated assessment from a range to a single estimated amount and present it to the residents and City Council at the December 9, 2019 Public Hearing. Our hope is that the estimated amount is less than $29,500. Assessment amounts for roadway improvements are determined by the roadway project costs divided by the number of resident equivalent units in the project area. Deviation from this isn’t allowed per the City’s Special Assessment Policy. You’re welcome to discuss the assessments with the City Council at the Public Hearing or reach out to them beforehand. Or contact me for further details. Thank you.

Hello, My husband attended the recent Roadway meeting last Monday 8/12/19 where he learned the appraisal and estimate for roadway work is at $29K? I am shocked as the estimate I was given on 9/15/2017 was: $8,652.89 for our areas as seen on given colored map. The $8,652.89 was the ACTUAL Final Assessment and we were told ours would be similar in amounts. (The Public Hearing amount was higher at , $12,274.00 and obviously was lower to the $8,652.89) How can we petition to keep it in the range that was estimated? The new amount is out of reach for our budgeting and we made a rough budget number of the original estimate given to us. 26 (I can submit the paper work give to us for Prospect Knolls B.

Coordination with your contractor will be initiated by you once construction has begun along your street. Our field inspection staff can help you with estimated timelines and other information your contractor will need. In spring 2020 we’ll share our field inspection contact information. Reach out to them in the spring. b.Contractors that have worked the City previously are attached. c.The City’s street reconstruction contractor will install the concrete curb and gutter and driveway apron. Your private driveway contractor will be responsible for the rest. The timing of the apron installation will be important to your contractor. Our field inspection staff can help you with this next year. 2.The “phasing” of street reconstruction within the project area will be determined by the City’s street reconstruction contractor. That won’t be known until April 2020. 3.It’s to be determined if the utility road between your yard and the hill behind you will also be replaced. Our Facility Manager and Public Works / Utility staff will make this decision by the end of the 2019. Feel free to reach out at that time and we’ll have an answer for you. Thank you.

I was at the presentation close to 2 weeks ago discussing the 2020 road construction projects and had a few questions for follow up. 29 1.We are planning to re‐do our driveway in connection with the road construction project and it does not currently have the cement apron. We’re trying to figure out the best way to go about the process. a.Do we find a driveway contractor on our own or through the city? If on our own, how does our contractor coordinate with the City’s road construction contractor as to when to re‐do the driveway? b.Does the City have a list of suggested driveway contractors who have worked well with the City in the past? We are leaning toward replacing the worn out asphalt driveway with asphalt again mainly due to cost but will want to get a bid from a cement contractor to see what the price difference is. c.Do you know whether or not an asphalt driveway contractor can also install the cement apron per City specifications? 2.As I understand it, the general roadway timeframe is April through October 2020 and it will take up to 90 days for each area or section. What is the expected start date for the 70th street west of Antrim and the Dublin Circle/Dublin roads? We have other work that needs to be done with our home and want to avoid the 3 month window when roads will be torn up. 3.Will the utility road between our yard and the hill behind us also be torn up and re‐done? That’s all we have at this time.

The project is the reconstruction of Dublin Circle, West 70th Street, Kerry Road, Dublin Road, Antrim Road, Wexford Road, Antrim Terrace, Down Road, Lee Valley Road, Tralee Drive, and Shannon Drive. This report is not an appraisal, but rather provides a preliminary opinion of a general range of market benefit, if any, for similar properties. SCOPE OF ASSIGNMENT In accordance with your request, a drive-by viewing of the properties has been made along with some general market comments regarding benefit (if any) for the proposed street improvement project as it relates to the subject market. As noted in the engagement letter, no specific sales data has been collected for this assignment. The general market comments are based on past appraisals, experience, and market information. Pictures of the streets were taken on October 25, 2019 by Evan Waytas. The appraiser (Ethan Waytas) also viewed aerial/satellite image on the county GIS website and Google street view images. A project feasibility report was provided; the conclusions and information from the report were a part of the overall consulting letter analysis. The feasibility report is retained in the appraiser’s workfile. PROJECT The City of Edina is proposing to reconstruct the streets as previously noted. Per request, you desire to know the benefit (if any) as it impacts properties in the project area. Motivation for the road improvement project stems from deteriorating road surface and/or base. Secondary motivations appear to be to spot repair public utilities. Page 2 Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 AREA DESCRIPTION The City of Edina is a first ring suburban community located approximately 15 minutes south of Downtown Minneapolis. The population was 47,941 as of 2010 census (an increase of 1.1% from the 2000 census). The 2018 estimated population is 52,490 (an increase of 9.50% from 2010). Commercial and industrial users are scattered throughout the city, however, major commercial (Southdale Center) is located along France Avenue South and major industrial near Highway 100 and I- 494. The remainder of the city is mostly made up of single-family residential homes. Edina has a reputation as a stable community. Access to most shopping and surrounding communities is within 5 to 15 minutes. Most existing buildings in the area range from average to good quality. Single family homes generally range in value between $300,000 and $1,000,000+ for the overall city. Within a ½ mile radius of the project area, the average home price over the past three years is around $560,000 (MLS statistics). Most homes are average to good quality. SUBJECT PROPERTIES The project area primarily consists of single-family residential homes. EXISTING STREETS & UTILITIES Physical Condition of the Existing Road: The existing road improvements are asphalt with road base; some streets have concrete curb and gutter while a majority of the project does not. The road condition, based on the visual inspection of the streets is rated to be poor/fair. There are signs of transverse and alligator cracking, along with some areas of graveling. Note: The city did not provide a feasibility report at this time. Physical Condition of Existing Utilities: The utilities within the neighborhood are public sanitary sewer and public water. The city is proposing to update the utilities as described on the next page. Functional Design of the Road: The existing paved road is very dated, in poor/fair condition, and does have substantial large cracks. The road condition is rated to be poor to fair, portions average. There are signs of transverse and alligator cracking, along with areas of graveling. Roads in poor to fair condition do not meet the expectations of typical market participants in this suburban market for re-development, resale price, and/or updating the current uses. Overall, the existing street improvements are in fair/poor condition, are beginning to look dated and reflect likewise on the adjoining and side street properties. Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 Page 3 PROPOSED ROAD IMPROVEMENT The city is proposing to reconstruct the streets within the project area. Per city, the road will be reduced from 30’ wide to 27’. A majority of the properties will receive new concrete curb and gutter, while existing concrete curb and gutter will be spot replaced as needed. The city indicates that the asphalt road will be removed down to the road base, which will be regraded and compacted as necessary. The city will pave with 4” of new asphalt. Public utilities are not a primary part of this project. That said, the city will be putting a cured in-place liner in the sanitary sewer lines as needed, all new fire hydrants, and new gate valves. Given the existing condition of the road, the proposed project is logical. If any of the above descriptions change, the benefit due to the project could differ. HIGHEST AND BEST USE The subject project area is located in the southwestern portion of the city. The properties in the project area are single-family residential. Owners in the subject area appear to update their property as needed when site and building components wear out or become dated. Owners in the overall area commonly pave their driveways or maintain parking lots as needed, recognizing it adds value when done. Therefore, it is logical to update the road to the subject properties as needed, as these are essential property characteristics that are expected in this market. An informed buyer would consider the condition of the road and traffic flow/management. A well- constructed and good condition road provides aesthetic appeal to a property and efficient/safe traffic flow. Given a choice, a potential informed buyer would likely prefer a newer road with good traffic flow over a deteriorating road with fair traffic flow. If replacement of components of real estate near the end of their economic life in a home or building is postponed, it can be costlier in the long run; delays in replacing components can result in incurring higher interim maintenance costs and potential difficulty in marketing the property. Also, it is typical for the cost of the replacement of an improvement to increase over time. That said it is logical and prudent for market participants to update/replace dated components when needed. Therefore, the highest and best use of the surrounding properties in the project area is for the continued residential use with the proposed infrastructure improvements. Page 4 Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 DISCUSSION OF MARKET BENEFIT Listed below are the factors that will be taken into consideration concerning the potential benefit to the properties. Description Existing Improvements Change 1) Road Surface Poor/Fair New, paved, good 2) Base Condition Poor/Fair Graded, compacted 3) Curb Most of the homes do not have curb & gutter Replaced where appropriate for existing, mostly all new 4) Drainage Average, less effective in some areas Average, drainage fixed where appropriate 5) Storm Sewer Yes Yes 6) City water Average New fire hydrants, gate values etc. as noted 7) City sewer Dated/Average New liner 8) Sidewalk None None 9) Street Lights Average Average 10) Functional Design of Road Dated Good 11) Traffic Management Average Average 12) Pedestrian Use (biking, walking, etc.) Fair Good 13) Median n/a n/a 14) Road Proximity to Properties n/a n/a 15) Dust n/a n/a 16) Visual Impact on Properties Fair Good Based on the preceding grid, the subject properties will improve in 9 of the 16 categories. Market participants generally recognize that roads need replacing when nearing the end of a long economic life. A typical buyer in the subject market commonly prefers a good condition paved road surface road versus an inferior condition paved road surface. In addition to visual benefit, new street improvements provide better and safer use for pedestrians (biking, walking, stroller, rollerblading, etc.) and drivers. The new streets will enhance potential for re-development and/or updating the current properties. Properties that indirectly/directly abut or have driveways/access that exit on the new street will benefit. Based on past appraisals, experience, and general market information, it is not uncommon for properties similar to those in the subject market to realize an increase in price for new street improvements. Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 Page 5 Discussion of Market Benefit – Continued The city is proposing to complete the project in three phases. The phases are Dublin Circle, Shannon Drive, and then Prospect Knolls (remainder). Given the three areas, the following is provided. Dublin Circle / Shannon Drive: Given the scope of the project, the age/quality/condition of houses, properties in the area with newer street improvements could see an average price benefit of: • Single family (poor/fair condition, with curb and gutter) $12,000 to $20,000 per lot (higher value homes on the upper end of range) Prospect Knolls (remainder of properties): Given the scope of the project, the age/quality/condition of houses, properties in the area with newer street improvements could see an average price benefit of: • Single family (poor/fair condition, with curb and gutter) $18,000 to $37,000 per lot (higher value homes on the upper end of range) • Single family (poor/fair condition, without curb and gutter) $21,000 to $40,000 per lot (higher value homes on the upper end of range) Page 6 Nagell Appraisal Incorporated | 952.544.8966 CONCLUSION The benefit amount noted above should not be construed or relied on as being an appraisal, but are general observations based on the overall market. If an appraisal were made on the individual properties, the actual benefit amount could vary from market observations above. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

in Prospect Knolls A project. To City Council Members — On Monday evening, you will be reviewing a report and recommendation from city Engineering staff regarding road reconstruction in Prospect Knolls A. First some recognition, I would like to thank Chad and Aaron for their time and responsiveness regarding questions from our neighborhood regarding this work. It is much appreciated. We feel it was a positive step in designating the broader project work into two "Districts" to align with assessment estimates. I do have two items of concern and opportunity to improve the accuracy of these Districts. 1. The residence at 5812 Lee Valley Road is clearly misplaced within District 1, just because it does not share a street name with other residential units in District 2 (Shannon Drive). 5812 Lee Valley Road faces 5811 Shannon Drive. They share the same roadway at the beginning of our street. All other homes happen to be assigned Shannon Drive due to the timing of when they were constructed. A simple viewing of the map would indicate that 5812 Lee Valley Road should be included in District #2. (See map on page 23 of the Engineering Report.) 2. Based on the precedent established in 2015 regarding the assessment for 7117 Tralee Drive as part of Prospect Knolls B (page 24 of Engineering Report), likewise 7105 Antrim Court should be similarly assessed as 0.67 REU in Prospect Knolls A District 1 and 0.33 REU in Prospect Knolls A District 2. The residence at 7105 Antrim Court actually has significant access on Shannon Drive at the cul de sac between 7028 Shannon (our residence) and 7020 Shannon (see map on page 3 of Engineering Report). Based on the handling of 7117 Tralee in earlier work, it would seem appropriate to apply the same approach to 7105 Antrim Court in this project. Thank you for your consideration of BOTH these important changes.

Hi Jane, Thank you very much for taking my call and for helping us get this communication onto the City Council packet for tonight's meeting. Here are the bodies of the two messages that we were trying to get on the City Council packet. All the best, —Yoon-Hee Cha Dear City Council Members: My wife and I recently moved into a home in Prospect Knolls and have been trying to understand the most recent assessment letter from the city regarding road work in the Prospect Knolls development. After many discussions with multiple neighbors, we find highly alarming issues with both the assessment itself (to start: a marked differential among 2 regions of the neighborhood and the exceedingly high amount compared to all prior assessments for road work) and the delivery of the assessment, including lack of transparency. We are aware of the 6pm hearing this evening and intend to attend and voice our concerns. Many of our neighbors will do the same. When listening to our questions and objections, we ask that you kindly try to evaluate the situation as if you are a homeowner in our development. Sincerely Victor Cheng Homeowner in Prospect Knolls Dear City Council Members: The homeowners in the Prospect Knolls Division A (District 1) will be voicing many serious concerns about the evolution of the assessment costs for road fixes. In short,' we feel that we have been blindsided by the council. There are many important issues to discuss tonight and likely few of them can be addressed completely at the meeting. We ask that you do not make any irreversible decisions tonight but that you consider all of these issues and give them due respect. Given the number of extremely upset people in the neighborhood right now, I would advise that you start the meeting with a reassurance that no decision will be made in haste and that the process for how the numbers were derived will be made transparent to all of the homeowners in our division. 1 Thank you. —Poon-Hee Cha Forwarded message From: City Council <citycouncil@edinamn gov> Date: Mon, Dec 9, 2019 at 2:31 PM Subject: Automatic reply: Prospect Knolls homeowner: Meeting 12-9-2019 To: Yoon-Hee Cha <yoonheechal 11 @gmail.com> Your message has been sent to all members of the City Council.

To City Council Members — On Monday evening, you will be reviewing a report and recommendation from city Engineering staff regarding road reconstruction in Prospect Knolls A. First some recognition, I would like to thank Chad and Aaron for their time and responsiveness regarding questions from our neighborhood regarding this work. It is much appreciated. We feel it was a positive step in designating the broader project work into two "Districts" to align with assessment estimates. I do have two items of concern and opportunity to improve the accuracy of these Districts. 1. The residence at 5812 Lee Valley Road is clearly misplaced within District 1, just because it does not share a street name with other residential units in District 2 (Shannon Drive). 5812 Lee Valley Road faces 5811 Shannon Drive. They share the same roadway at the beginning of our street. All other homes happen to be assigned Shannon Drive due to the timing of when they were constructed. A simple viewing of the map would indicate that 5812 Lee Valley Road should be included in District #2. (See map on page 23 of the Engineering Report.) 2. Based on the precedent established in 2015 regarding the assessment for 7117 Tralee Drive as part of Prospect Knolls B (page 24 of Engineering Report), likewise 7105 Antrim Court should be similarly assessed as 0.67 REU in Prospect Knolls A District 1 and 0.33 REU in Prospect Knolls A District 2. The residence at 7105 Antrim Court actually has significant access on Shannon Drive at the cul de sac between 7028 Shannon (our residence) and 7020 Shannon (see map on page 3 of Engineering Report). Based on the handling of 7117 Tralee in earlier work, it would seem appropriate to apply the same approach to 7105 Antrim Court in this project. Thank you for your consideration of BOTH these important changes.

Hi Jane, Thank you very much for taking my call and for helping us get this communication onto the City Council packet for tonight's meeting. Here are the bodies of the two messages that we were trying to get on the City Council packet. All the best, —Yoon-Hee Cha Dear City Council Members: My wife and I recently moved into a home in Prospect Knolls and have been trying to understand the most recent assessment letter from the city regarding road work in the Prospect Knolls development. After many discussions with multiple neighbors, we find highly alarming issues with both the assessment itself (to start: a marked differential among 2 regions of the neighborhood and the exceedingly high amount compared to all prior assessments for road work) and the delivery of the assessment, including lack of transparency. We are aware of the 6pm hearing this evening and intend to attend and voice our concerns. Many of our neighbors will do the same. When listening to our questions and objections, we ask that you kindly try to evaluate the situation as if you are a homeowner in our development. Sincerely Victor Cheng Homeowner in Prospect Knolls Dear City Council Members: The homeowners in the Prospect Knolls Division A (District 1) will be voicing many serious concerns about the evolution of the assessment costs for road fixes. In short,' we feel that we have been blindsided by the council. There are many important issues to discuss tonight and likely few of them can be addressed completely at the meeting. We ask that you do not make any irreversible decisions tonight but that you consider all of these issues and give them due respect. Given the number of extremely upset people in the neighborhood right now, I would advise that you start the meeting with a reassurance that no decision will be made in haste and that the process for how the numbers were derived will be made transparent to all of the homeowners in our division. 1 Thank you. —Poon-Hee Cha Forwarded message From: City Council <citycouncil@edinamn gov> Date: Mon, Dec 9, 2019 at 2:31 PM Subject: Automatic reply: Prospect Knolls homeowner: Meeting 12-9-2019 To: Yoon-Hee Cha <yoonheechal 11 @gmail.com> Your message has been sent to all members of the City Council.
