This includes $430,893 in rollover funds from 2018. Approximately $546,394 is estimated to roll over into the current PACS Fund (2020). $1,097,318 (67%) of available funds were spent on PACS-related projects and items in 2019 (an increase of approximately $139,560 or 15% from 2018). 73% ($805,510) was spent on new pedestrian and bicycle facilities (46% for “stand-alone” projects and 27% for projects associated with Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction, utility or park projects). About 1.1 miles of new pedestrian and bicycle facilities were installed in 2019 using the PACS Fund (equal to 2018). Please note that while most of the costs on the attached table are actual construction costs, some are estimated based on pending final payments to contractors (some of which will be paid for with 2020 PACS Funds). Additionally, as of the time of this memorandum, the fourth quarter 2019 utility franchise fees have yet to be received; these have been estimated for this report.

INTRODUCTION: See attached staff report. This report will be presented to City Council at their March 4 regular meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Description 2019 Traffic Safety Summary Report February 20, 2020 Transportation Commission Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator 2019 Traffic Safety Summary Report Information / Background: The Engineering Department received 163 traffic safety requests in 2019. Requests are received by phone, mail, email and online submissions from the City’s website. Each request may require data collection and analysis by the Traffic Safety Coordinator prior to being reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee. Of the 163 requests received, 151 were reviewed and completed in 2019, an increase of one request from 2018. The remaining 12 items will be reviewed in 2020 when weather conditions permit necessary data collection. Requests are assigned to one of five categories; Traffic Calming, Parking and Signage, Intersection Control, Pedestrian Safety or Other (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Traffic Safety Requests Reviewed in 2019 Nearly 27% of all traffic safety requests are reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee. These are categorized as A (recommended approval), B (recommended denial/no change) or C (recommend further study) items in traffic safety reports. Many requests are handled solely by the Traffic Safety Coordinator and not reviewed by the entire Committee. These are generally requests for increased police enforcement or for matters governed by existing City policies (requests for crosswalks, signage, traffic signals, etc.). These are categorized as D items. Table 1 shows the full breakdown of requests reviewed in 2019. 23% 35% 15% 21% 6% Traffic Calming Parking & Signage Intersection Control Pedestrian Safety Other STAFF REPORT Page 2 Table 1. 2019 Traffic Safety Requests by Type The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed and recommended approval of 24 requests (A items) and denial of 17 (B items). 110 requests were handled by the Traffic Safety Coordinator (D items). Parking and Signage received the highest number of approvals with 14, followed by Pedestrian Safety with five and Traffic Calming with four. Figure 2 shows the 2019 traffic safety requests by month received. An increase of requests in April and May came as a result of road closures related to construction projects. These projects included the France Aveune bridge repair over Highway 62, a utility project at Vernon Avenue and Interlachen Boulevard, redevelopment along West 77th Street east of Highway 100, the METRO Green Line Extension project (Southwest LRT), and neighborhood street reconstruction projects.

INTRODUCTION: See attached staff report. Comments received by the Commission will be included in the staff report provided to City Council at their March 4 regular meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Description Traffic Safety Report of January 28, 2020 February 20, 2020 Transportation Commission Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator Traffic Safety Report of January 28, 2020 Information / Background: The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on January 28. The Traffic Safety Coordinator, City Engineer, Streets Public Service Worker, Transportation Planner, Public Works Director, Police Sergeant and Assistant City Planner were in attendance for this meeting. On each of the items, persons involved have been contacted and the staff recommendation has been discussed with them. They were informed that if they disagree with the recommendation or have additional facts to present, they can speak at the February 20 Transportation Commission regular meeting and/or the March 4 City Council regular meeting. Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends action A1. Request to restrict parking on France Ave, north of Walgreens parking lot • Resident was concerned of sight lines exiting Walgreens driveway onto France Ave • Request reviewed by Hennepin County • County’s recommendation is to restrict parking from Walgreens driveway north to 50th & France’s parking way-finder sign • Restriction will allow adequate sight lines • County is requesting a Council Resolution • County is willing to install additional signage • No previous agreements to keep on-street parking available in this area • One crash has been reported of an eastbound car hitting a bicyclist in the street Staff recommends approving Hennepin County’s recommendation of extending parking restrictions on France Ave for sight line improvement. Recommendation from Hennepin County STAFF REPORT Page 2 Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends no action B1. Request for a hidden/blind driveway sign for southbound traffic exiting the Valley View Rd and Valley Ln roundabout • Resident is concerned with drivers exiting nearby roundabout traveling south, being unable to see cars backing out of 5700 Creek Valley Rd • Driveway is roughly 90 feet south of southern-most crosswalk • Sight lines for vehicles coming from the roundabout are nearly 170’ • Stopping distance when traveling 25 MPH (in roundabout) is 155’ • A recent one-vehicle crash took place involving a northbound garbage truck traveling at excessive speed through the roundabout • A sidewalk is planned to be constructed from the roundabout to Creek Valley Rd which should improve sight lines further Staff recommends no additional signage. Staff believes sight lines are adequate and that adding signage in an area with a multitude of signs won’t increase safety. B2. Request to improve crosswalk on Tracy Ave at Countryside Rd • A resident was concerned of witnessing near-misses at crosswalk even with student crossing guards and looking for increased crossing controls • This intersection is 450’ south of Tracy Ave at Benton Ave • This is a school crossing for Countryside Elementary • Peak pedestrian crossings was 147 in one hour (335 total daily crosses) • A student drop-off is available on both sides of Tracy Ave • 2008 ADT is 5,119 • No crashes have been reported at the intersection • Currently treatment includes a marked crosswalk with road-side signs and advanced warning signs (consistent with current warrants) Staff recommends no further improvements at this intersection and to increase police enforcement in this area. Valley View Rd Roundabout. Line represents 170’ sight distance Crosswalk on Tracy Ave, south of Benton Ave STAFF REPORT Page 3 B3. Request for a crosswalk at the south entrance of Lewis Park over Cahill Rd • Lewis Park has soccer and football fields, a playground and hosts summer camps • An automobile accident with a bicyclist in 2017 took place on Cahill Rd at Lewis Ridge Pkwy • Bikes lanes are present on Cahill Rd • A sidewalk is present on the west side of Cahill Rd • 99 total crosses • Peak hour crosses of 53 (6:30 pm – 7:30 pm) • 2014 ADT is 6,580 • Parking is available on the west side of Cahill Rd adjacent to Lewis Park Staff recommends no changes. Staff believes a crosswalk at this location would encourage the public to utilize a FilmTec’s private parking lot (5400 Dewey Hill Rd). B4. Request to restrict parking on W 69th St • Resident at 5817 McGuire Rd has difficulties exiting driveway when parking is taking place on the north side of the street • Parking takes place on the north side of W 69th due to EHS students • Parking restrictions nearby were implemented prior to 2018-19 school year • Parking is restricted from 8 am to 4 pm school days in nearby neighborhoods • W 69th St is 28’ wide (face to face) • Request of restriction would be roughly 80’ (four parking spaces) • When parking is utilized with snow present, 18’ of roadway is available to enter/exit driveway Staff recommends no further parking restrictions along W 69th St. Staff believes the street provides adequate space for a vehicle to back out of the driveway even when parking is utilized directly across the street. Cahill Rd near Lewis Park W 69th St STAFF REPORT Page 4 B5. Review parking on Grimes Ave south of W 42nd St • Previous request made to restrict parking along hill south of W 42nd St • Parking is allowed on the east side of Grimes Ave, restricted on the west • Hill has a 6% slope • Sight distance adjacent to hill is 225’, 10’ more than required at 30 mph • 2005 ADT and 85% speed is 806 and 31.3, respectively • ETC recommended the City consider temporary parking restrictions along Grimes Ave Staff recommends no changes, siting adequate site lines and lack of crash history to warrant additional restrictions. Staff recommends reevaluating conditions for possible improvements prior to the proposed roadway reconstruction project in 2022. Section D: Other traffic safety items handled D1. Parking concerns have been submitted regarding vehicles parked on the street exceeding the six-hour limit on Lincoln Dr and Amundson Ave. Vehicles were also reported parking too close to the exit of the alley between Xerxes Ave and York Ave at W 56th St and were requesting enforcement. These requests were sent to the EPD. D2. A concern was raised of vehicles parking on a woonerf near 50th & France impeding pedestrian safety in the area. The resident was informed this new woonerf is designed to allow vehicles to travel slowly with pedestrians and no changes are recommended at this time. D3. A request was made to increase stop sign enforcement at the intersection of Arden Ave and Country Club Rd. The resident was concerned with the number of vehicles not stopping and the EPD was informed of this request for added police presence. D4. A resident is concerned with the high amount of close calls at the intersection of Crescent Dr and Countryside Rd and requested to replace the yield controls on Crescent Dr with stop controls. Despite Crescent Dr being roughly 70’ offset from Countryside Rd, sight lines are adequate and no crashes have been reported. Total ADT at the intersection is around 500. No warrants are met to install stop controls. D5. A request was made for residents on Limerick Ln north of Valley Ln to have a crosswalk to connect to the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail. After review, neither intersection met warrants met warrants for a pedestrian crossing (even when crossings at both intersections were combined). D6. A submission was made for increased enforcement at the intersection of Valley Ln and Creek Dr. This intersection has an all-way stop control. EPD was informed of this request. D7. A request was made for a No Outlet sign on Zenith Ave south of W 60th St. The resident was concerned with vehicles trying to cut through the Strachauer Neighborhood south of W 60th St. The request was denied as Zenith Ave does have an outlet south of W 60th St. 200’ of Grimes Ave along hill STAFF REPORT Page 5 D8. A request was made to improve pedestrian crossings on France Ave at W 69th St and Parklawn Ave. The requestor was concerned with the lack of crosswalks over France at these intersections. The City is working with Hennepin County to investigae potential improvements at both intersections. D9. A concern was submitted regarding high vehicle speeds on Claremore Dr. The resident was requesting speed bumps to slow vehicles and improve pedestrian safety. Traffic data collected in 2019 shows 85% speeds did not exceed 26.5 mph. The resident was informed the City has a future sidewalk planned along Claremore Dr and advised the resident to submit a petition for Engineering to conduct a feasibility study. D10. A request was submitted for increase police patroling along France Ave between W 44th St and Market St. The resident was concerned with vehicles speeding to hit green lights along this corridor, causing difficulties turning onto France Ave from W 49th St. EPD and Hennepin County were informed of this request.
