I 4 EDINA CITY COUNCIL MEETING PROCEDURES During "Public Hearings," the Mayor will ask for public comment after City staff members make their presentations. If you wish to speak on the topic, you are welcome to do so as long as your comments are relevant to the discussion. To ensure fairness to all speakers and to allow the efficient conduct of a public hearing, speakers must observe the following guidelines: • Individuals must limit their presentations to three minutes. The Mayor will modify presentation times, as deemed necessary. • Try not to repeat remarks or points of view made by prior speakers and limit comments to the matter under consideration. • In order to maintain a respectful environment for all those in attendance, the use of signs, clapping, cheering or booing or any other form of verbal or nonverbal communication is not allowed. During "Public Comments," the Mayor will ask to hear from those in attendance who would like to speak about something not on the agenda. Individuals must limit their presentations to three minutes and cannot speak to an issue for which a public hearing was previously held and closed or a matter scheduled for a future hearing. Individuals should not expect the Mayor or Council to respond to their comments. Instead, the Council might direct the matter to staff for consideration at a future meeting.

She said it was anticipated consideration of the final adoption of the AUAR will be at the Council's November 5, 2007, meeting. The Council asked that copies of the final AUAR be placed in the Edina libraries and whether acceptance of the AUAR obligated the Council to accept any specific development proposal. Staff Page 2 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 2, 2007 stated the libraries would receive copies of the AUAR and that acceptance of the AUAR by the Council would not constitute any approval of any development proposal. Member Swenson made a motion to authorize the final distribution of the Gateway Project Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for its final ten -day comment period.

Ayes: Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. PUBLIC COMMENT Sandy Carlson, 5304 Oaklawn Avenue, stated she and her neighbors had put together a video about large homes on smaller lots that they would like the Council to view. Mayor Hovland explained the Council would not allow people to give testimony on massing because the Council had previously held a public hearing on the issue. He said there had been no public notice given so testimony would not be allowed and that the Council would need to determine whether or not to view the video. Mayor Hovland explained the Council has a policy that if a subject was on the agenda they would not take public comment on the item at the same meeting. The question was asked if public comment would be allowed if an ordinance amendment dealing with the massing issue were considered by the Council. Staff stated that any amendment to the zoning regulations required review by the Planning Commission and a hearing by the City Council. Such an amendment is likely to be considered by the Council at its Nov. 20, 2007, meeting. The. Council discussed the issue. Concerns raised included: whether the public would have an opportunity to speak, if the Council could obtain copies of the video and potential time frames when the issue would be heard as a public hearing. Member Bennett made a motion to allow the video prepared by Ms. Carlson to be viewed. Motion declared dead for lack of second. Ms. Carlson expressed her displeasure at not being allowed to show the video. She stated she felt she had followed the procedures outlined to her. Communications and Marketing Director Bennerotte reviewed her conversation with Ms. Carlson and stated when she pre- viewed the video in preparation for the meeting she discovered the subject matter was more broad in nature and not specific to one address or location. Mayor Hovland reiterated that when a properly noticed hearing was held residents would be allowed to testify and the video could be viewed. Robert Larson, 5307 Oaklawn Avenue, indicated he was willing to wait until November 2011, to speak.

MASSING TASK FORCE REPORT ACCEPTED Planner Teague said the Massing Task Force was re- convened by the City Council and asked to consider and make a recommendation on an amendment to the City's zoning ordinance regarding height. He reported the Task Force met twice and examined all of the information considered by the Planning Commission and City Council: O Current and proposed height regulations Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 2, 2007 • Survey of adjacent cities' regulations on height • How the recently amended and proposed ordinance would impact recently built homes. Mr. Teague said the massing task force recommended two changes to the zoning ordinance regarding height as follows: The definition of building height should be amended as follows: Building Height or Structure Height. The distance measured from the average proposed existing ground elevation adjoining the building at the front building line to the top of the cornice of a flat roof, to the deck line of a mansard roof, to a point on the roof directly above the highest wall of a shed roof, to the uppermost point on a round or other arch -type roof, or to the average distance of the highest gable on a pitched or hip roof. References in this Section to building height shall include and mean structure height, and if the structure is other than a building, the height shall be measured from said average proposed existin ground elevation to the highest point of the structure. The task force took out the recommendation for measuring height from the average elevation from around the home. They did not believe that change should be made for the following reasons: • Lots that contain slopes would be penalized by the proposed amendment.. The height requirement would be more restrictive for a sloping lot than a flat lot. • The massing issue is more about the street elevation and building separation between houses from side to side; and not about the rear yard elevation. The separation between homes in the rear yards is greater given rear yard setbacks. • Edina's current height regulations are in keeping with other similar sized cities in the Metro area. • The two zoning ordinance changes regarding increased side yard setbacks for narrow lots, and low floor elevation for new homes may result in reducing the height of new homes. • The new ordinance should be monitored over the next year to determine if it is effective. If it is not working to reduce height, additional changes could be considered then. 2. The task force further recommended the following change to the previously amended ordinance regarding a rebuilt home: Rebuilt home. On a home that is to be rebuilt after a tear down, the lowest first floor elevation of the new home may not be more than one -foot above the lowest first floor elevation of the home that was torn down. The task force believes that holding the first floor elevation at the same level as the previous home would ensure that new homes would be more in character with adjacent homes. If a new home wanted taller ceilings in the basement than the previous home, to do so, they would have to dig down deeper in order to meet a similar first floor elevation with the previous home. Under the current regulation the low floor of a new home could be elevated by one foot. If a new home builder wanted to increase the basement ceiling by 2 -3 feet, and they added one foot to the elevation, the result would be a in a first floor elevation increase of 3-4 feet from the previous home, which the task force believed would not be in character with the adjacent homes. John Wheaton, 5109 Arden Avenue, said that he agreed to act as Chair of the re- convened Massing Task Force. He stressed the Task Force's concern that relative to the measurement of height, it was more important to control the lowest level of a home than necessarily control the first floor. Page 5 Minutes/Edina City Council/October 2,200 The Council discussed with staff and Mr. Wheaton various aspects of the Task Force's Report and timing for consideration of suggested ordinance amendments. Following the discussion, Member Masica made a motion receiving the Massing Task Force's Report and authorizing the Planning Commission to more forward on an amendment to the zoning regulations with the potential hearing before the City Council at their November 20, 2007, meeting. Member Housh seconded the motion. Ayes: Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2007 -103 ACCEPTING VARIOUS DONATIONS Mayor Hovland explained in order to comply with State Statutes; all donations to the City must be adopted by resolution and approved by a majority of favorable votes of the Council accepting the donations. Member Swenson introduced Resolution No. 2007 -103, accepting various donations, and moved approval. Member Bennett seconded the motion. Ayes: Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson, Hovland Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2007 -108 TERMINATING DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT AND RELEASING CERTAIN EASEMENTS - HAUGLAND COMPANIES, 5000 FRANCE AVENUE Mr. Hughes explained the 5000 France Avenue developer, Gene Haugland, needed to have some former easements and a developer's agreement released in order to record his RLS that was approved at the last City Council meeting.

Mangen, City Clerk MINUTES OF THE STUDY SESSION OF THE EDINA CITY COUNCIL HELD SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 11:30 A.M. Mayor Hovland called the meeting to order at 11:30 a.m. in the Community Room of Edina City Hall. Answering rollcall were: Members Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson and Mayor Hovland. Staff present included: Gordon Hughes, City Manager; Roger Knutson, City Attorney and Debra Mangen, City Clerk. Mayor Hovland said the purpose of the study session was to review the process used in appointing community members to advisory boards, commissions and committees. He added that before the boards and commissions discussion he would like to discuss the timing of the Study Sessions. The Council discussed the impact of holding Study Sessions at 7:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Following discussion staff was directed to schedule the October Study Session for 7:00 a.m. with November's being held at 11:30 a.m. The Council proceeded to discuss the current process utilized to appoint members to their advisory boards, committees and commission. Currently terms on the boards run either two or three years and expire on February 1st of each year. In late November members with expiring terms are queried to see if they wish to be re- appointed. Those members who are reaching the term limits are thanked for their service and a list of potential vacancies are compiled. A press release is released and applications taken. Applications are forwarded to the Mayor for review. He processes the applications and usually with the Chair of the various boards or as in the case of the new Energy and Environment Commission another Council member assisted, they may either in person or on the phone interview candidates. Once the Mayor has determined who to appoint he advised the Council who then endorses his appointees. The Council discussed a more collaborative approach. Following their discussion the following steps were suggested: • Queries of board and commission members with expiring terms in October with answers by 10/15 • List of potential vacancies developed and press notice released in October soliciting applicants until December 15th • Applications forwarded to all Council Members • Council Members develop their short list of applicants • Interviews held in January at Work Session • Council at a Work Session discusses their choices • Members appointed at first February Meeting to be seated for first meeting beginning in March Mayor Hovland declared the meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Debra Mangen, City Clerk MINUTES WORK SESSION EDINA CITY COUNCIL AND EDINA PARK BOARD HELD TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2007 AT EDINA CITY HALL Mayor Hovland carted the meeting to order at 5:00 P.M. in the Community Room of Edina City Hall. Answering rollcall were: Members Bennett, Housh, Masica, Swenson and Mayor Hovland. Edina Park Board members attending were: Karla Sitek, Ray O'Connell, Mike Damon, George Klus, Howard Merriam, Linda Presthus, Randy Meyer and Chair Andy Fisness. Edina City Staff present: Gordon Hughes, City Manager; Heather Worthington, Assistant City Manager; John Keprios, Park & Recreation Director; Jennifer Bennerotte, Communications & Marketing Director; and Debra Mangen, City Clerk. Mayor Hovland noted the purpose of the meeting was to allow the Park Board to discuss issues of mutual concern with the City Council. Andy Fisness, Park Board Chair, expressed the Board's concern relative to the Council's decision to install temporary hockey boards in Todd Park following Park Board's recommendation to install permanent boards. Mr. Fisness said the Park Board wished there had been an opportunity to meet and discuss the Board's recommendation before the Council made its final determination. A lively discussion of the issues took place that included: communication between Board and City Council, responsibility for holding public hearings, the advisory nature of boards and commissions, and desire for the opportunity to discuss recommendations from advisory boards before decisions become final. Park Director Keprios asked for direction when the next controversial issue comes before the Park Board. He stated that Park Board Member George Klus has been working on a private fund - raising venture in conjunction with the Edina Community Foundation, which, if successful would result in the installation of an artificial turf field at Pamela Park. It was suggested that in such a situation, neighborhood information meetings be held before a Park Board formal hearing so stakeholders could view proposed changes and offer input informally, then the Park Board may hold a public hearing and gather input more formally, before making their recommendation. However, the Council may also hold a public hearing before making any decision. The Council will discuss the issue further at its October 16, 2007, meeting. Mayor Hovland thanked all for attending and adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Debra, Mangen, City Clerk REPORT /RECOMMENDATION TO: Mayor & City Council From: Wayne Houle, PE Director of Public Works / City Engineer Date: October 16, 2007 Subject: Public Hearings for Special Assessments: A.

Minnehaha Creek Mill Pond. 2. Arrowhead Lake. 3. Indianhead Lake. INFOBACKGROUND: Each year, the Arrowhead Lake and Indianhead Lake homeowners associations request the City to provide weed management and water treatment services for which are agreed to be paid by special assessment. Both Indianhead and Arrowhead Lakes are treated for aquatic weeds, and provided with aerators to further control aquatic weed growth and help oxygenate the water to avoid fish winter -kill. Additionally Indianhead Lake was treated with blue dye to add color to the lake water and retard algae growth. The proposed assessment per home for each of the 36 Arrowhead Lake residents is $404.95, and the proposed assessment per home for each of the 33 Indianhead Lake residents is $411.16. Residents whose properties abut the Mill Pond section of Minnehaha Creek ask the City to contract mechanical removal of aquatic vegetation in the Mill Pond area. There were three mechanical cuttings of aquatic weeds on the Mill Pond area. The proposed special assessment for each of these 63 homes is $98.05. All proposed assessments include a $3.00 per home administrative fee. Vince Cockriel, Park Superintendent, administers the above aquatic weed management programs. A one -year assessment period is proposed for all of these special assessments. MINNEHAHA CREEK MILL POND ASSESSMENT - 2007 Lake Weed Harvesting Weed Harvesting D.N.R.

Fee Edina, MN 55436 $429.38 (1 yr. assessment) INFO/BACKGROUND: The above'eight properties collectively had a total of eleven (11) diseased elm trees removed. The diseased elm trees were removed in accordance with City Code Section 1055, Control and Prevention of Shade Tree Diseases. Property owners were first given an opportunity to remove the diseased tree(s) within a three -week (21 days) period of time. If the tree(s) is not removed within that period of time, the City contracts the removal of the diseased tree(s) and assesses the property owner. The property owners at the addresses above chose to have the City remove their diseased tree(s) in 2007 and have the cost of removal assessed to their property. This practice prevents the spread of Dutch elm disease and is mandated by Minnesota State Statutes. The guideline used to set the length of the assessment period is: ❑ Under $500 = one year assessment. ❑ $500 to under $1,000 = two year assessment. ❑ $1,000 and up = three year assessment. ❑ Additional years upon request. When the City is requested to (or forced to) remove a diseased shade tree on private property, the City Forester asks the property owner if they wish to have the tree stump removed at their expense. State and City law does not demand that tree stumps be removed; only the diseased bark must be removed. Minnesota State Statute 18.023 demanded tree stump removal; however, that State law was repealed in 2003. Y o� e ' REPORT /RECOMMENDATION To: Mayor & City Council From: Steve A.

Two Stop Work Orders were posted in July and August requiring ongoing work to be stopped, and permits to be obtained. The property owners were notified on 9/12/06 by letter of the need to abate the nuisance caused by the home by fencing the property. The 9/12/06 letter also indicated noncompliance would result in the City fencing the property and assessing the cost to the property. The owners were notified a second time on 9/25/06 of abatement requirements and the consequences of noncompliance. An attempt was made to fence the property (attachment B), and it was inspected on 10/3/06. The owner was notified the fencing was inadequate and reminded the City would proceed with the abatement of the nuisance if not abated by the owner by 10/9/06. The property owners were reminded again on 10/9/06. The property was fenced on 10/13/06 by a contractor employed by the City. The property owners were billed $3,350.00 by the City for the fencing on 10/20/06. Staff discovered the gate in the fence unlocked and open as well as two breaks in the fence on 11/7/06. The property owner was notified the City would have the fence repaired and bill the property owner. The fence was repaired on 11/13/06. The property owners were billed $300.00 by the City for the fencing on 11/21/06.

Info /Background: Minnesota Statute 444.075 allows Cities to "charge a charge against the owner, lessee, occupant or all of them and may provide and covenant for certifying unpaid charges to the county auditor with taxes against the property served for collection as other taxes are collected ". City of Edina code sections 1100.05, 1110.05 and 716.03 allows for the certification of water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and recycling delinquent accounts. The City of Edina has certified unpaid utility bills to the county for collection for many years. Hennepin County now requires council resolution prior to certification. Utility accounts (water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and recycling) with balances over $100 and delinquent three months or longer were notified in writing of the pending certification and the time and date of the hearing in a letter dated September 30. A $30 administrative fee is added to delinquent accounts to cover the additional costs associated with the certification process. As with the special assessments, certified amounts would also include an interest rate of 5.9 %. The actual numbers of accounts and amounts certified to the county will be less than the amounts indicated here as customers will continue to have the opportunity to pay the overdue balances up until November 21, leaving one week to detect NSF checks. The delinquent utility list is a list of properties in Edina that received notice of certification. Last year, notices were sent totaling $292,106.49 with the final assessment of $147,361.15. *� The City has received a list of 6 properties that receive St. Louis Park utility services but are located in Edina and pursuant to agreement between the City of Edina and the City of St. Louis Park, these 6 properties are also included with the delinquent list to be certified by the City of Edina. To respect the privacy of delinquent customers, the attached list omits the names and addresses where possible. The detailed list of properties and delinquent amounts to be certified is available in the Clerks Office and the Finance Department.

Pro -Tec Design 2. $30,609.99 RECOMMENDED QUOTE OR BID: Account #: 47046.6710 Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. $29,250.00 GENERAL INFORMATION: This purchase is for the upgrade replacement of our current Nex Sentry keyless entry security system. The 13 -year old electronic security keyless entry system is out of date and becoming increasingly more difficult to get replacement parts and particularly the electronic data boards, which are soon to be obsolete. This replacement DSX system is the same keyless entry system now being used at Edina City Hall, including the Edina Police Department. This replacement system takes advantage of all existing hardware, such as, card readers, door strikes, wiring and electronic control module cabinets currently in place at each of eight park locations. The new system will also be compatible for future internet connection access as opposed to the phone line dial -up system. Once cable or fiber -optic lines are eventually brought to each park location, the system can be operated from a number of authorized computers via the internet at no monthly cost. This new DSX system also has the capability to be expanded to other remote locations as desired in the future. This purchase includes all new software, electronic controller modules at each location, DSX dial -up modems at each location, new replacement DC back -up power batteries at each location, staff training and a one -year parts and labor warranty. We had budgeted only $25,000 in the 2007 Capital Improvement Plan for this project ($4,250 over budget); however, we are more than $14,000 under budget on the 2007 Chowen Park picnic shelter project.

This project was first bid on June 11, 2007. At that time, only one bid was received and it was from Metro Building Systems, Inc. for $207,000.00 plus an additional $11, 500.00 in add alternates. The City Council accepted staff's recommendation to reject that bid. The project was slightly redesigned to exclude some interior non -load bearing walls that we believe our `own maintenance staff can build internally in the future to bring the project within budget. All bid totals above include each vendor's add alternate which includes pavement for additional parking spaces near the new building in accordance with specifications. The $157,200.00 bid submitted by Prestige Builders of Minnesota includes their add - alternate of $5,200.00 for additional parking spaces. By accepting the low bid, the total project costs will be approximately $185,000.00, which includes architect, engineering and project management services; plus, future internal staff labor and materials to construct the internal, walls. This 2007 Capital Improvement Plan project is budgeted at $190,000.00, which is funded by the Revolving Fund. Based on their previous positive experiences with Prestige Builders, our architect/engineering project consultant, ATS &R, highly recommends award of bid to the lowest bidder, Prestige Builders of Minnesota. If approved by Council, specifications call for substantial completion by January 25, 2008.

Imagine also that this network is made up of routes that easily connect with regional trails and routes in adjacent cities: ride a greenway to the Cedar Lake Trail, take a safe and comfortable bikeway to the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. The City of Edina is approximately 4 miles wide in each direction. A novice cyclist, riding at an average rate of 10 miles per hour, could easily bike clear across the city in about 25 minutes. Destinations within the City would of course be much closer: imagine a fifteen minute ride to safely and comfortably arrive to 50th and France, or to school, or a park, or Southdale. All of this is possible. A solid bicycle transportation network offers even more: the opportunity to move under your own power, to experience the sights and sounds of your neighborhood and city, to see a neighbor along the way, to re -learn the happiness of riding your bike for fun and for getting places. This Plan is a first step towards these possibilities. We recognize that bicycle transportation is not necessarily an option that everyone will choose: some people will choose to continue making the majority of their trips by automobile, while others may prefer walking and others may decide that year -round bicycling is not for them. But the key is on providing choices, and increasing options that allow people to take care of their daily needs in safe, comfortable, healthy, sustainable and efficient ways, that will make it possible for young and old to develop and maintain healthy lifestyles and that may help us better connect with each other. So let us imagine A successful bicycle transportation network will be safe, comfortable and inviting for riders of all ages and skill levels. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 17 Executive Summary People bike for all kinds of reasons. Children may ride to go to school, while seniors may ride to go shopping and other adults may ride to get to work; families may ride together for recreation. The work of this Plan is to guide the creation of a bicycle transportation network that accommodates the needs of cyclists of all ages and skill levels while improving safety and convenience and encouraging use of this important transportation option. VISION The guiding vision for this document is to support the gradual transformation of the City of Edina into a "progressive bicycle - friendly community where citizens can easily integrate cycling into their daily lives." PLAN COMPONENTS This Plan includes a network of recommended bicycle routes and treatments that will help support this vision. In addition, it includes specific recommendations for developing and improving other aspects of Edinas cycling infrastructure, including provision of bicycle parking and other end of trip facilities; improving bike - related signs, signals and wayfinding; furthering the integration of bicycling and transit as a way to increase convenience for cyclists and lowering demand for automobile transportation; conducting education and encouragement programs that increase safety and invite new users to Edina's bicycle transportation system; and guidance for operation and maintenance of the system. In addition, the Plan provides guidance for implementation, including a recommended prioritization and timeline for development and a set of recommendations to ensure that Edina cyclists can continue to have their voice heard as implementation of this and other transportation initiatives move forward. Brief excerpts of sample recommendations from each chapter are provided in the following sections of this summary. PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN The purpose of this Plan is to improve conditions for cycling in Edina by reducing hazards, by developing and improving Edina's bicycle transportation infrastructure, and by inviting Edina residents, workers and visitors to include this safe, comfortable and convenient transportation option into their daily mobility habits. Two views of 70th Street, heading east from Southdale Mall, past France Avenue: How things are today ... ... And how they could be. Even relatively modest investments to Edina's present streets can greatly improve safety and comfort for Edina cyclists. 8 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLES The following goals and principles guide the recommendations included in this Plan: IMPROVING SAFETY Proactively addressing existing hazardous conditions, assigning dedicated road space to cyclists, and alerting motorists of their presence will help improve safety and convenience for all users of Edinds streets and sidewalks. CONNECTING TO LOCAL AND REGIONAL DESTINATIONS Providing safe and convenient connections to destinations in Edina and neighboring communities will increase bicycle use and help lower demand on Edina's overall automobile transportation system. Connecting to the growing network of regional trails will expand the number of potential destinations available to Edina citizens and provide increased access to our region's recreational and transportation assets. SAFE ROUTES FOR ALL Bicycling can serve the mobility needs of people over a wide range of ages and abilities. Providing a network of safe and comfortable bicycle routes to schools and parks will be an important builder of healthy life -long habits of active living and independence for children, seniors and other adults. BICYCLING AS A 13ASE FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH A safe and inviting bicycle transportation network will help improve community health by increasing opportunities for active transportation and active living for all of Edinds citizens. BICYCLING AS A USEFUL TRANSPORTATION OPTION IN EDINA A high quality bicycle network will make it easy and convenient for people in Edina to choose cycling as a way to meet at least some of their transportation and mobility needs. A network of safe, convenient and easily accessible routes will expand the use of bicycling as a useful transportation option in Edina. BENCHMARKS Success for this Plan will be measured by increases in the number of people who cycle in Edina as a means of fulfilling at least some of their daily transportation and mobility needs.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 19 RECOMMENDED ROUTE NETWORK This Plan presents a network of routes which are further grouped into Primary or Secondary routes; Primary routes provide more direct connections to destinations within and outside Edina. Regional routes, including the Canadian Pacific Regional Trail and the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail are recommended as high priorities for development.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS This Plan strongly recommends adopting and implementing a "Complete Streets" design policy and approach that considers the needs of all present and potential transportation network users, including cyclists, pedestrians, seniors, children, people with mobility limitations, and motorists when designing improvements to Edina's street network. Adopting a Complete Streets design policy will help ensure that all street construction and street improvement projects in the City of Edina anticipate and address the needs of cyclists and other users regardless of whether a particular street is included within Edina's formally designated bicycle route network. Over the long run, embedding this Complete Streets approach into the City's normal operating procedures will do more for cyclists and pedestrians than any one specific plan could. REGIONAL ROUTES This Plan strongly recommends development of the Regional Canadian Pacific Trail and the Nine Mile Regional Trail. Opportunities for concurrent integration and improvement of both trails with Edinas recommended bicycle transportation network should be explored. Currently no dedicated connection to the region's growing network of dedicated facilities is provided within Edina. BIKE PARKING AND OTHER END OF TRIP FACILITIES The Plan provides guidelines and recommendations for improving bicycle parking at schools, commercial destinations and other locations in Edina. Improving bike parking provision at Edina schools will support active living and community health goals. SIGNS, SIGNALS AND WAYFINDING The Plan recommends installation of "blue bike lanes" at selected locations where automobile turning or entry movements require them to cross over Primary bike route facilities. Blue lanes alert motorists to the presence of cyclists and help reduce potential conflicts. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN I I I TRANSIT INTEGRATION This Plan recommends development of a "bike station" at Southdale Mall, where one of our region's busiest transit centers is located. Bike stations, common in many US and European cities, are staffed, dedicated bike storage facilities, usually located near transit hubs or other major destinations. Cyclists who ride to transit can drop off their bikes to be stored and serviced as needed while they continue their journey on transit. These facilities provide long -term bicycle storage and sometimes also include shower and locker facilities. EDUCATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT Sharing information with children, seniors, and other adults on safe riding rules and techniques will help improve safety and increase cycling in Edina. This Plan recommends working with Edina public schools to implement a bicycle safety and training component as part of their physical education programs. Encouraging students' use of a safe and convenient bicycle transportation network will help encourage a lifetime of healthy and fun physical activity. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE This Plan recommends establishing a Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request Program to extend the city's reach in protecting its infrastructure investments and providing bicyclists an inviting and safe bicycling environment. This program would provide a centralized structure for collection of small - scale, low -cost improvements, such as sweeping, repairing surface problems, and replacing unsafe gratings while helping ensure prompt response to these requests. TIMELINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION This Plan includes a recommended timeline for prioritizing and carrying out improvements to Edinds bicycle transportation network. Recommendations are presented as short -term (0 to 2 years), medium -term (2 to 4 years) and longer -term (4 to 7 years) priorities for implementation. For example, signing of all Primary routes is recommended over the short term, while installation of bicycle signal heads is recommended over the longer term. HOW WILL WE MAKE IT HAPPEN? Making this Plan real will require ongoing, day - to -day work on the part of public officials, City of Edina staff, and Edina citizens. This Plan recommends the following as components of its implementation strategy: Bicycle Coordinator This Plan recommends the creation and funding of a new "Bicycle Coordinator" position within the City of Edina to coordinate implementation of the Plan, to attend to and coordinate response to bicycle network maintenance and operations issues, and to advocate for the needs of cyclists as transportation and land use projects are designed and implemented in Edina and in surrounding communities. Bicycle Advisory Committee This Plan recommends the formation of a Bicycle Advisory Committee as a formal citizens group with responsibility for providing citizen direction for implementation of Plan recommendations. Formal representation in Edina transportation decision - making The Edina Transportation Commission advises the City of Edina on issues relating to transportation and transportation improvements over its surface street network. This Plan recommends including at least one representative from the Bicycle Advisory Committee as a formal member of the Edina Transportation Commission; doing so will help ensure that the perspective and voice of Edina cyclists is included during deliberations on improvements to Edina's transportation network. 12 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Section I Background This section provides an overview of existing conditions in Edina, and summarizes reasons to address and improve the city's bicycle transportation infrastructure.

This Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan builds on the work already completed by the Bike Edina Task Force (BETF), City of Edina staff, and Edina citizens towards the creation of a more bicycle- friendly Edina. VISION "The City of Edina will be a progressive bicycle- friendly community where citizens can easily integrate cycling into their daily lives." PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN The purpose of this document is to serve as a tool to guide the efforts of Edina citizens, elected officials and City of Edina staff as they work towards increasing the city's bicycle orientation. It provides short, medium and long -term recommendations for improving the City's bicycle transportation network with the goal of making it safer and more convenient for people of all ages and skill levels to choose cycling as a preferred mode of transportation for taking care of their daily needs. 14 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1.2 Regional context The City of Edina is a fully developed first -ring suburb situated immediately southwest of Minneapolis in Hennepin County, with a land area of approximately 16 square miles and a population of 47,425 people. The City is within close proximity of many important regional destinations, including the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes, St. Louis Park's Miracle Mile, Bloomington's Mall of America, and the Minneapolis / St. Paul International Airport. Southdale Mall, a regional shopping destination, is located within the city. Edina is a major employment generator for the Twin Cities Metropolitan region. Approximately 49,790 people work in Edina, a number that is more than twice as large as the number of its residents in the labor force (22,547 people). Edina is well connected to the regional automobile transportation network: Minnesota State Highways 62 (running east -west) and 100 (north- south) traverse the City. Minnesota State Highway 169 runs along the City's western boundary while Interstate Highway 494 runs along its southern boundary. Minnesota State Highway 7 is within three miles of the City while Interstate Highway 394 is within five miles. Important regional bicycle trails, including the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail, and the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes are within close proximity of Edina. No regional trails run through Edina, however, and connection to existing bicycle transportation and recreational trails in adjoining communities is poor.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 15 1.3 Urban form and development patterns First incorporated in 1888, the City of Edina is a fully developed first -ring suburb. Like other communities that grew and developed in the years after the Second World War, its landscape and mobility infrastructure are oriented to automobile transportation, and pose several important challenges to comfortable and efficient use of other modes of mobility. PRESENT LAND USES RESIDENTIAL USES Most of the land comprising the city of Edina (53% of total land area) is occupied by single family detached residences. Another 4% of total land area is occupied by apartment and other multi- family structures. Most of these are located along York, France and Vernon Avenues, and along Cahill Road. COMMERCIAL USES About 4% of Edinds land area is dedicated to retail and other commercial uses. Important commercial areas in the city include 50th and France, 70th and Cahill, 50th and Vernon, and Southdale Mall. An additional 4% of Edina's land is used for office space. Most of these uses are concentrated along the eastern side of the city's southern border, and also just west of Highway 100 along Metro Boulevard. INDUSTRIAL USES Slightly more than 3% of Edinas land is used for industrial purposes. Most of these uses are located between Cahill Road and Metro Boulevard just south of 70th Street. INSTITUTIONAL USES Almost 5% of Edina's land is dedicated to institutional uses, including schools, libraries, hospitals and government institutions PARKS AND RECREATION About 16% of Edinas land is dedicated to parks and recreational uses, including golf courses. ` .o`er. -_- �`• � �~ �. �`- �`'�,��. .�•����� `lam_ 5outhdole Mall and its surroundings in 1958. 16 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CONNECTIVITY Highways 100 (running north - south) and 62 (running east -west) intersect near the center of Edina. Although the freeways provide automobile transportation network connections to point outside Edina, they create discontinuities and literal barriers for surface movement within and across Edina. Edina's citizens in fact normally discuss their city in terms of "quadrants," implicitly recognizing the role of the freeways in separating one section of Edina from another and also recognizing the differing character of land use, density, and development intensity in each. FUTURE LAND USE The City of Edina 2008 Comprehensive Plan does not contemplate any significant land use changes over the residential portions of Edina. Given that Edina's landscape is now fully developed, the only places where changes in land use may occur are those that currently host warehouse /industrial sites and low density commercial areas. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan will direct proposals for more intense land uses to these locations. The amount of land potentially available for redevelopment is about 17% of Edinas surface area. Major areas of potential change include the Cahill industrial area, the Greater Southdale area, and smaller commercial nodes at 50th and Vernon, and 70th and Cahill. Most of the forecast growth in employment and residents will be directed toward these locations. IMPLICATIONS FOR THIS PLAN • Convenient connections to potential redevelopment areas should be provided • Providing bicycle network connections for Edina employees, visitors and customers who travel into, out of, and through Edina should also be emphasized • Provision of high quality bicycle routes can help address issues of connectivity between quadrants while also improving connections to adjacent jurisdictions Areas where redevelopment is expected to occur according to the City of Edina 2008 Comprehensive Plan (shown in yellow). Edina quadrants The City of Edina Con lorewflSive B,cyae Transportation Ptzn 11 LEGENO southwest southeast Edina citizens often discuss their city in terms of quadrants. Can a convenient bicycle network help change perception of the city to a reconnected whole? THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 17 1.4 Demographics and population characteristics Located immediately southwest of Minneapolis in Hennepin County, the City of Edina has a total area of 16.0 square miles, of which 15.8 square miles are land and 0.2 square miles are lakes and other water bodies. The 2000 US Census counted 47,425 people residing in Edina, in a total of 20,996 households. Of those, 12,870 were family households. POPULATION DENSITY Edina's 2000 population density was 4.7 people per acre. There were 21,669 units of housing, yielding an average density of 2.15 dwelling units per acre. HOUSEHOLDS Of the 20,996 households living in Edina in 2000: • 27% included children under the age of 18 • 54% were married couples living together • 39% were non - family households • 34% were made up of individuals living alone • 19% of all households were made up of an individual living alone who was 65 years of age or older Edina's 2000 average household size was 2.24 and the average family size was 2.91 persons. AGE DISTRIBUTION Approximately one quarter of Edina's population (22.9 %, or 10,838 persons) are children under the age of 18. Of those, 8,292 children are between the ages of 5 and 18. Another quarter of Edinds population (22.7% or 10,765 persons) are senior adults 65 years of age or older. Median age for the city is 44 years. INCOME LEVELS Median household income in 2000 was $66,019, while median income for a family was $93,496. Per capita income for the city was $44,195. About 2.0% of Edina families had incomes below the poverty line. By contrast, the county-wide median household Population densities across Edina. Higher densities are shown in darker color. CENSUS HOUSEHOLD OR FAMILY? • A "household" is a person or group of people occupying a housing unit. • A "family household" consists of a householder (the person who owns or rents the housing unit) and one or more people living together in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. • A "non- family household" is a person living alone or a householder who shares the home with non - relatives only. 18 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN income was $51,711, with a median family income of $65,985 and a per capita income of $28,789. POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT TRENDS The population level of Edina has grown slightly over the last twenty five years, going from 46,073 persons in 1980 to an estimated 47,425 persons in 2000 (an increase of 2.9% over that time). The Metropolitan Council estimates a 2006 population of 46,896 persons living in 21,100 households. The Metropolitan Council similarly estimates a total 49,790 jobs in Edina in 2006, and forecasts an additional 9,000 jobs by 2030. COMMUTE TO WORK A total 6,055 Edina residents (about 27% of total residents) also work in Edina. Another 5,467 residents (about 24 %) work in Minneapolis, while 4,853 residents (about 22% of total residents) work in the neighboring communities of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka and St. Louis Park. Only about 12% of all jobs in Edina are held by Edina residents. Although the 2000 Census does not specifically report a category for bicycle commuting in Edina (including it under "other means" of travel to work), a total of about 0.5% of all workers can be estimated to have made their journey to work on a bicycle. By comparison, the national average is 0.4 %, while the 2005 Minneapolis figure for workers who ride their bicycle to work is 2.4% (the second highest in the nation after Portland, Oregon). IMPLICATIONS FOR THIS PLAN • Approximately one quarter of Edina's population is under the age of 18. Providing safe routes to schools, parks and recreational centers is a priority. • Approximately another quarter of Edina's population is older than 65. This portion is expected to increase to about a third of Edinds total population. Convenient and safe routes to shopping and other activities, as well as to civic and senior centers will be key. Additionally, regional trails should provide ample space for the adult tricycles which are sometimes favored by seniors. • Providing convenient bike routes to employment centers may help decrease demand on Edinds automobile network. A comparison of the age profiles of Edina's population with those of Hennepin County shows Edina has a higher proportion of seniors in its population. This trend is expected to continue, with a potential 70% increase in Edina's senior population by 2030. HOW DO EDINA CITIZENS GET TO WORK?

American Journal of Public Health, Vol. 93, No. 9, September 2003. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 19 1.5 Existing bicycle conditions and infrastructure In general, Edina does not presently provide adequate facilities or infrastructure to accommodate and encourage cycling. There are no signed or striped bike routes within the City, there are no designated connections to the growing network of regional bicycle facilities and shared -use trails, and bicycle parking and other end - of -trip facilities are seldom provided. Additionally, Edina's landscape has been impacted by earlier state and federal transportation policies that prioritized automobile movement at the expense of other modes. Combined with prevailing land use and site planning practices, they have shaped an urban environment that works against the comfortable use of bicycling as a means of transportation within the City and over a significant portion of its existing street network. Fortunately there is also some good news. Engaged citizens are advocating for improvement of cycling conditions; Edina's elected officials have shown strong support for improvement; leaders within the City's Engineering, Planning and Public Works departments have shown an open and welcoming attitude to making important improvements for all modes of mobility within the City. And there is a growing awareness in our state and nation about the importance of providing increased options for transportation in our cities. The time is right for making the changes that are necessary to make cycling a viable transportation option for riders of all ages and skill levels in Edina. At present, it is possible (though not necessarily inviting) to ride a bicycle in Edina, and arrive to useful destinations. A number of streets through the City are already functioning as informal bike routes. Relatively modest investments can help create bicycle transportation networks and connections linking places of employment with regional trails, schools with residential areas, neighborhoods with shopping and entertainment districts. Making these connections real is the work of this Plan. It includes recommendations for improvement (found in Section II) that can serve as incremental changes towards a bigger transformation. The aim of this chapter is to provide additional On France Avenue today. "Even the longest journey must begin where you stand. " -- Lao -Tzu, Chinese philospher, 6th Century BC 20 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN detail on present conditions in order to clarify areas that need to be addressed and to help set up benchmarks for improvement. SURFACE STREETS No cycling facilities are presently provided along Edina's street network. Nevertheless, a number of streets are already utilized by cyclists for connection and movement to destinations within and outside of Edina. Among those streets which appear to be favored by Edina cyclists at present are: • Wooddale Avenue • 58th Street • 44th Street • 70th Street • Vernon Avenue • Tracy Avenue • Gleason Road • Valley View Road • Benton Avenue • Interlachen Boulevard • Olinger Boulevard In general, lower speed limits create more comfortable conditions for cyclists. An automobile speed limit of 25 miles per hour has been found to provide for safe and efficient use of surface streets by pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Additionally, lower speed limits significantly decrease the severity and risk of injury to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists as a result of automobile crashes. The majority of surface streets in Edina have posted speed limits of 30 miles per hour, which, though not ideal, provides usable conditions for cycling if actual travel speeds stay within those limits. However, several important streets and potential bicycling routes in Edina have significantly higher speed limits. Notable exceptions to the 30 mph limits are portions of Vernon Avenue (with speed limits of 40 mph in a segment that includes Olinger Boulevard and Tracy Avenue), France Avenue (40 mph between 66th Street and the southern city limit; 35 mph between 54th Street and 6th Street), 66th Street (35 mph between Normandale Road and the eastern city limit, including the segment serving the Edina Aquatic Center and Rosland Park) and York Avenue (between 66th Street and the southern city limits). i A cyclist heading south on Valley View Road just past Highway 62 towards Southdale Mall.

Source: Minnesota Center for Survey Research, University of Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies, 1999. Speed limits over Edina's surface streets: green is 30 mph, purple is 35 mph, and red is 40 mph. Highways are shown in grey. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 121 Some surface streets, like France Avenue south of Highway 62, present inhospitable riding conditions and are a barrier to bicycle and pedestrian movement along and across them. Some factors that increase discomfort for cyclists using a particular road include the number of lanes of traffic carried by that road, the speeds at which automobiles actually travel on them (which is often higher than the posted speed limit), and the amount of space which is available for riding closest to the right edge of the road. Although cyclists in Minnesota have the legal right to use the full right -most lane for travel, the majority of actual and potential cyclists are not likely to do so, especially if they are riding by themselves or if the road is heavily used by automobiles. REGIONAL CONNECTIONS The Twin Cities region is nationally known for its extensive system of regional bicycle trails, which provide an expansive network of grade- separated trails. Used for recreation and transportation, these trails provide safe and convenient access to many of our region's assets. They also invite novice cyclists to use their bikes for transportation by providing them with comfortable, car -free spaces in which to ride. The Midtown Greenway, the Cedar Lake Trail, the Kenilworth Trail, and the Gateway Trail are among the many trails that criss -cross our region. Unfortunately, no regional bicycle trails run through or within Edina. Additionally, connection to nearby trails, including to the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail, is not provided, signed or otherwise identified. END OF TRIP FACILITIES End of trip, or ancillary facilities, are those provisions made for cyclists at the beginning and end of their trip. These include bicycle parking racks or lockers, showers and changing space for commuters, and bike stations where bikes may be dropped off with an attendant and where maintenance may be performed while the cyclist is at their destination. With the exception of a limited number of bicycle parking racks, there are virtually no end of trip facilities in Edina. A brief inventory, performed with the help of members of the Bike Edina Task Force (BETF), follows below: On France Avenue today. A growing network of regional trails connects cyclists to our metropolitan area's many employment, education, entertainment and recreational assets.

BICYCLE PARKING AT SHOPPING AND RETAIL DESTINATIONS Southdale Mall has six bicycle racks that could accommodate 64 bicycles. Two of those racks, accommodating a total of 14 bicycles, are located to serve the Mall's Transit Center (the fourth busiest in MetroTransit's system), and are located in the mall's smoking area. By comparison, Southdale provides 6,725 parking spaces for automobiles - bicycle parking is less than 1% of all vehicle parking provided A total of 12 "inverted U" bike parking racks are provided at 50th and France, potentially accommodating a total of 24 bicycles • No bicycle parking facilities are provided at 70th Street and Cahill Road • No bicycle parking facilities are provided at 50th and Vernon Avenue AT EDINA PUBLIC SCHOOLS In general, adequate bicycle parking facilities are not provided at Edina public schools. Several schools (including the City's High School) have no bicycle racks at all, while others provide an insufficient number of bicycle parking spaces and include substandard bike parking racks. For guidance on number of racks to be provided please see Appendix A.4. For guidance on recommended types of bicycle racks please see Appendix A.5. Following is a brief survey of existing bicycle parking provision at Edina schools conducted by members of the Bike Edina Task Force in August of 2007.

AT EDINA PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES Citizens of Edina are justifiably proud of the city's excellent park system and programs. Unfortunately, there generally is poor provision of bicycle parking facilities at Edina parks and other recreational facilities. A significant number of Edina schools do not provide adequate bicycle parking facilities for students. Photo: At South View Middle School. Only a few parks in Edina provide adequate bicycle parking facilities. Where available, they are well used.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 125 CURRENT BICYCLE USE Observation indicates that a significant number of people ride bicycles in Edina. There are several streets that are commonly mentioned as preferred, informal bike routes for travel through the city. However, as noted in Chapter 1.4 (Demographics and population characteristics) there is a general lack of actual counts and other data about the number of people using bicycles for transportation in Edina (as is the case in most other communities in our state). Fortunately, there are a couple of resources that may help in providing a baseline for understanding current use and for providing benchmarks for improvement. The first is the Edina Parks and Recreation system survey conducted in Fall 2006 and which showed that improvement of Edina's cycling infrastructure is a priority for a significant majority of Edina households. This survey is explored in more detail in Chapter 1.6 (Need for improvement). The second resource is the recently conducted bicycle and pedestrian counts taken in Edina on two days during mid September of 2007. This count activity, performed for the first time in Edina in 2007, is part of Transit for Livable Communities' (TLC) metropolitan bike and walk traffic count efforts, which were conducted simultaneously throughout the region and which aim to establish benchmarks for use of the region's bikeways by bicycle commuters. Two locations were chosen, and activity was measured for two days during the commuting time range of 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. In that time period an average of 21 bikers and 35 pedestrians were counted at 44th Street and Brookside Avenue while 17 bikers and 14 pedestrians were counted at 70th Street and Cahill Road. Members of the Bike Edina Task Force received training from TLC, conducted the counts and summarized the data. It is recommended that this activity be continued into the future and expanded to additional locations to help provide a clearer picture of bicycle use and trends in Edina. An Edina cyclist riding south on Valley View Road, towards Southdale Mall. Some locations in Edina are designated for cycling even though they present hazardous conditions. For example, the western side of the Centennial Lakes trail mixes pedestrians and cyclists on a narrow path, does not provide adequate sight distance, and is in general not suitable for biking. Developing facilities that provide separate, sufficient and safe space for cyclists and pedestrians is recommended instead. 26 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1.6 Need for improvement There are many sound reasons to make the necessary investments to improve Edinas bicycle transportation infrastructure. An accessible, safe and useful bicycle transportation network is consistent with and in fact furthers the City's long -term goals and objectives, as articulated in the City's Vision Statement, which is included in Edina's 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update: Edina will be the preeminent place for living, learning, raising families and doing business distinguished by. • A dynamic and sustainable community • A livable environment • Effective and valued City services • A sound public infrastructure • A balance of uses • Innovation In addition, the improvements this Plan recommends help address the following needs and conditions: TO RESPOND TO CITIZEN AND COMMUNITY INTEREST The citizens of Edina have consistently expressed a desire for improvement of bicycling facilities in their city. Most recently, the City hired a consultant to survey Edina households about Parks and Recreation system services and priorities during the fall of 2006. The survey, which received almost a thousand responses (and is statistically valid for the population of Edina as a whole) found: • 86% of respondents had a household need for walking and biking trails. • 64% of respondents said walking and biking trails were among the top four most important facilities; 32% ranked walking and biking trails as their first choice, the highest percentage for any facility. • 84% would use walking and biking trails for exercise and fitness; 84% for enjoying the outdoors; 25% for transportation. • 89% of respondents were supportive of the City developing walking and biking trails; 65% were very supportive.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 127 66% of respondents said walking and biking trails were among the top three actions they would be willing to support with tax dollars; 44% ranked walking and biking trails as their first choice to support with tax dollars, the highest percentage for any action. TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND ENCOURAGE ACTIVE LIVING A growing body of research demonstrates connections between a community's built environment, the opportunities it provides for physical activity, and the health of its population. Places with an infrastructure that supports walking and biking have populations that are more physically active and have lower levels of obesity. A population that engages in regular, moderate physical activity has lower incidence of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, colon cancer, osteoporosis, depression, and breast cancer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends 30 minutes of moderate physical activity 5 days per week. In 2005, only half of all Minnesotans met this guideline, about the same as the national average. According to data collected by Hennepin County, only 43% of residents of Bloomington, Richfield and Edina met the guideline in 2002 (the most recent data available). Although these exceed the federal goal of 30% of adults meeting the guideline, they fall short of the Prevention Minnesota goal of 75% of adults being moderately active 5 to 7 days per week. Nationally, the effects of reduction in regular physical activity and the corresponding increase in sedentary lifestyles have especially impacted young people, with dramatic increases in obesity and diabetes. Children who are overweight are likely to become overweight adults. Likewise, children who learn the importance and pleasure of routine physical activity also carry these lessons throughout life. A mobility and transportation system that encourages healthy habits of activity and decreases reliance on automobile travel also brings improvements to other aspects of community health, including increased community connectedness and mental well- being, decreased air pollution and injuries due to car crashes, and enhanced feelings of independence and empowerment. 200 150 100 3 O a 50 Average weight for children and adults measured in 1960 and 2002 children women men ages 6 to 11 over 20 over 20 ( +11lbs) ( +241bs) ( +24lbs) Source: National Center for Health Statistics, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). DID YOU KNOW? Just three hours of bicycling per week reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke by 50 %. Source: Bikes Belong Coalition, based on US Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health. 28 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN TO INCREASE MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS Bicycling is a safe, fun and active choice for transportation. It is a quiet, nonpolluting, energy - efficient and versatile way of getting around, and one that can provide additional mobility options to automobile drivers and non - drivers alike, including children and senior adults. A functioning bicycle transportation network can reduce the demand for automobile travel by providing another means of travel (and one that brings additional benefits to the rider). Recent studies point out that about one half of all trips in the Twin Cities region are less than four miles in length; in fact, two out of five trips (40 %) are less than two miles. Most of these trips are presently made by automobile. A novice cyclist, riding at a comfortable pace, can easily cover two miles in 12 to 15 minutes; four miles (the east -west and north -south length of the city of Edina) would take about 20 to 25 minutes. If comfortable and safe bicycle accommodations were available in Edina, all of the destinations within it would be just a brief ride away. Riding to school, or the senior center, or the grocery store or Southdale would cease being the exclusive domain of the automobile and allow people a greater set of choices on how to get around. TO INCREASE SAFETY FOR CYCLISTS Many people cycle in Edina today, even without adequate facilities. But because facilities are not available, many cyclists will ride in ways that actually increase hazards to them and to other users of Edinds streets. It is not uncommon to see Edina residents riding on sidewalks (where motorists and pedestrians don't expect them), or against traffic on streets where a striped automobile parking row is provided. Many more potential riders will choose to not ride because they perceive the present conditions to be unsafe. Creating a network that lets cyclists and motorists know when and where to expect each other will help increase safety and the perception of safety for new and experienced riders, and will help decrease potential conflicts. Creating facilities for cyclists will also help decrease discomfort and hazards for pedestrians and improve safety and conditions for both types of users.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 129 1.7 Policy basis Current local, state and federal policies offer strong support for making improvements to bicycle transportation facilities in jurisdictions throughout the Metro area. Making investments to improve Edinas bicycle transportation network is consistent with policies and positions from local, state and federal planning and transportation agencies and bodies. A brief list is included in this chapter. CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The 2008 City of Edina Comprehensive Plan (currently under development) responds to ten objectives that provide a broad statement of the values and directions for shaping change in Edina. Three of those objectives are directly addressed by an improved bicycle transportation network in Edina: Objective 4 "Develop and maintain a coordinated and balanced transportation system that provides a variety of choices among transportation modes. " Objective 9 `Improve community health and fitness. " Objective 10 `Maintain a quality, sustainable environment. " Please see Appendix A.1 to read the complete list of 2008 Comprehensive Plan objectives. METROPOLITAN COUNCIL The Metropolitan Council explicitly supports improvement and provision of bicycle facilities as part of transportation investments in cities within its jurisdiction. The Council's 2030 Transportation Policy Plan includes several policies that strongly recommend provision of cycling facilities. A brief excerpt is provided here; the full section can be found in Appendix A.2. 30 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN On Wooddaie Avenue today. Policy 15 Develop and Maintain Efficient Pedestrian and Bicycle Travel Systems "Safe, high - quality, continuous, barrier -free pedestrian and bicycle facilities must be developed, maintained and improved to function as an integral part of the region's transportation system. Compact, mixed -use development with facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists helps reduce short automobile trips. Over the last 10 to 15 years, the region has made an effort to direct a higher level of transportation investments to special facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists, either as freestanding projects or as part of larger transportation projects. As the region promotes the development of mixed -use centers, providing facilities for these non - motorized modes becomes an increasingly important component of planning at the city, county and regional level. As recognized in the federal surface transportation law, well - developed pedestrian and bicycle systems help promote energy conservation, reduce the pressure on the highway system, and preserve the environment. In addition, recent research indicates that residents of places designed with accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians are more active and therefore healthier than residents of other areas." MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn /DOT) has in recent years adopted policies that strongly advocate for the provision of adequate facilities for bicyclists. Mn /DOT's official vision for the role of bicycle transportation in the state's overall transportation network states: "Minnesota is a place where bicycling is a safe and attractive option in every community. Bicycling is accommodated both for daily transportation and for experiencing the natural resources of the state. " Mn /DOT's role in making this vision reality is included in its mission statement regarding bicycle transportation: `Mn /DOT will safely and effectively accommodate and encourage bicycling on its projects in Minnesota communities, plus in other areas where conditions warrant. Mn /DOT will exercise leadership with its partners to achieve similar results on their projects. " WHAT IS THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL? The Metropolitan Council is the regional planning organization serving the Twin Cities seven - county metropolitan area. The Council provides and manages regional services including public transportation, wastewater treatment, and regional and municipal planning. It sets up the rules and framework for regional investments in transportation, parks and open space, and other systems, and provides funding for implementing projects meeting regional goals. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 131 Starting in 2008, Mn /DOT will require all new construction projects over which they have jurisdiction to include "safe and effective" bicycle accommodations. Only highway construction projects are excepted from this requirement. FEDERAL POLICIES AASHTC GUIDANCE The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is a standards - setting body that publishes specifications and policies guiding highway design and construction practices throughout the United States. Its policies regarding provision of bicycle facilities are strongly supportive: All highways, except those where bicyclists are legally prohibited, should be designed and constructed under the assumption they will be used by cyclists. Zherefore, bicycles should be considered in all phases of transportation planning, new roadway design, roadway construction and capacity improvement projects, and transit projects. FEDERAL AGENCIES The Federal Highway Admi nstration (FHWA)'s Non - motorized Design Guidance, governing implementation of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA -21) and subsequent authorizations, states: `Bicycle and pedestrian ways shall be established in all new construction and reconstruction projects in urbanized areas (unless prohibited by law, excessive cost, or demonstrated absence of need). " FEDERAL LAW The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA - 21) authorized the Federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and transit for the 6 -year period between 1998 and 2003. After temporary extensions, the act was reauthorized as SAFETEA -LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users) in 2005 to govern transportation spending until 2010. It states: "Bicycle transportation facilities and pedestrian walkways shall be considered, where appropriate, in conjunction with all new construction and reconstruction of transportation projects, except where bicycle and pedestrian use are not permitted. " TEA -21 AND SAFETEA -LU Many of the recent changes in state and federal transportation policies regarding bicycling facilities are the result of federal legislation governing federal surface transportation investments. TEA -21 (The Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century) authorized the Federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety, and transit for the 6 -year period between 1998 and 2003. After temporary extensions, the act was reauthorized as SAFETEA -LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users) in 2005 to govern transportation spending until 2010. It states: "Bicycle transportation facilities and pedestrian walkways shall be considered, where appropriate, in conjunction with all new construction and reconstruction of transportation projects, except where bicycle and pedestrian use are not permitted. " The Act further includes seven planning objectives that must be addressed in regional transportation plans. Four of these objectives are consistent with directing improvements to bicycling facilities and infrastructure: Objective 2 "Increase the safety and security of the transportation system for motorized and non - motorized users" Objective 3 "Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and for freight" Objective 4 "Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation and improve the quality of life " Objective 5 "Enhance the integration of connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight" 32 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Section II Recommendations This section includes recommendations for addressing the various systems that can help improve conditions for cycling in Edina and bring the vision guiding this work closer to reality.

Improve the quality and quantity of end of trip facilities in Edina 34 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN An Edina family cycling on 66th Street near Southdale Mall. FOUNDATION The routes recommended in this Plan are based on the routes identified, selected and recommended by the Bike Edina Task Force (BETF) as part of the work they completed in Fall 2006. All of the routes selected and recommended by BETF are carried forward and identified for designation as recommended routes (with some additions, route hierarchy and implementation recommendations) by this Plan as included in Chapter 2.2 (Recommended Routes). A map of the original routes developed by BETF follows below: z 0 Routes recommended by BETF The City of Edina Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan LEGEND � R;CJMVcNCE6 ROUTE 0000 PPo01111Y REGNAL TRAIL CW , Nax FACILITY FUR C SC„OOE PWATE SCEIOOL 1 "CES OF T WORSHP F-1 P4ARS 0 0.1 02 03 04 05" I v1�.1�1 I 1 N OO ,.l 2 I 2 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 135 PRINCIPAL DESTINATIONS The Bike Edina Task Force identified the following as priority destinations and objectives for Edina cyclists and for this Plan: • Connection to the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail • Connection to shopping, entertainment and commercial areas in Edina, including Southdale, 50th and France, 50th and Vernon, and 70th and Cahill • Provision of safe, inviting and comfortable routes to schools in Edina Provision of safe, inviting and comfortable routes to parks, civic and recreation centers, including the Edina Aquatic Center and other destinations sought by children and families The Bike Edina Task Force recommendations inform and are carried forward by this Plan. In addition, they are supplemented by recommendations to connect employment centers, locations of high residential density, potential growth and development areas (as identified by the City of Edinas 2008 Comprehensive Plan), and to address the mobility needs of Edina seniors. METHODOLOGY Route segments initially identified through BETF's work and by this Plan were evaluated using several criteria, which depended on a number of inter - related factors, responded to identified needs, and followed accepted bicycle transportation, route network and human factors design practice. The goal was to identify a network of Primary routes that would help connect major destinations and aid movement through Edina while serving as a backbone for a wider network of Secondary routes that extend the network's usability and access, and improve safety and convenience for bicycle travel over all of Edina's surface streets. BALANCING CONSTRAINTS Among the variables considered in this iterative process are the following: • The need to maximize the number of potential destinations while minimizing the number of recommended Primary routes in order to reduce network complexity • The need to create a network that could be easily communicated and understood • The desire to make use of existing bicycle transportation The Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail, adjacent to Edina's northwest border, is one of the top connections desired by Edina cyclists. 36 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN assets in Edina by directing enhancements to those routes that Edina cyclists are already using • The desire to minimize implementation expenses and potential hurdles by recommending solutions that work within the existing street geometry and right -of -way constraints ROADWAY SUMMARIES Recommended streets were assessed through riding and through an inventory of geometric constraints, existing traffic conditions, potential to provide connections to other routes or destinations, present use and other related characteristics, including: • Total roadway width (curb -to -curb) • Number of automobile driving lanes • Presence of parking lanes or sidewalks • Average daily traffic • Present automobile speed limits • Functional classification • Available right of way • Potential locations or other routes accessible from route • Ease of access to route for potential users It is recommended that road condition summaries be updated and refined as needed by the Edina Bicycle Coordinator and Bicycle Advisory Committee (part of the recommendations presented in Chapter 3.2). DESIGNING ON- STREET FACILITIES Guidance for configuration recommendations applying to on- street bicycle facilities was obtained from accepted practice and several resources including the Minnesota Department of Transportation Bikeway Facility Design Manual. In general, this Plan recommends provision of minimum 5 ft wide bicycle lanes wherever Primary routes are located in streets with speed limits of 30 mph or above and with average daily traffic (ADT) volumes exceeding 1,000 vehicles in two lane roads or 2,000 vehicles in four lane roads. Where ADT exceeds 5,000 vehicles in two lane roads or 10,000 vehicles in four lane roads, this Plan recommends a minimum provision of 6 ft bike lanes along those roads. Additional guidance on this topic can be found in Appendix A.6 of this Plan.

Please see Appendix A.9 for complete figures for Edina streets. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 37 2.2 Recommended routes: Prioritization and hierarchy This Plan recommends establishing a Primary and Secondary network of bicycle routes as a way of aiding understanding and implementation of Edina's bicycle transportation network. PRIMARY ROUTES Primary routes are those that provide: • Connection to regional assets and convenient travel to points outside Edina • Easy access to major destinations within the city • A network of routes to access the City's schools and major recreational centers • Connection to locations identified by the City of Edina 2008 Comprehensive Plan In general, Primary routes are located within close proximity of population concentrations in Edina, and are easily accessed from surrounding areas (for example, they are not located adjacent to a freeway, where the freeway itself becomes a barrier to access). Many Primary routes (with some notable exceptions like 77th Street), are at present already functioning informally like bike routes. A significant number of Edina cyclists can be observed on recommended routes like Wooddale Avenue, 44th Street, Vernon Avenue, 70th Street, and others. Most of these routes at present have sufficient room to accommodate potential reconfiguration for inclusion of bicycle facilities. Primary routes are recommended for priority implementation SECONDARY ROUTES Secondary routes work in concert with Primary routes to establish a finer- grained network of routes and are most useful as means for reaching Primary routes and for some local trips. In many cases, these routes travel through residential neighborhoods and offer opportunity for extending the reach of Primary routes to ensure maximum usability and access to this transportation network for Edina residents. Guidance for implementation and wayfinding measures is provided in the following chapters. ON ROUTES: A CAVEAT The process of selecting and recommending specific streets for Edina's bicycle transportation network necessarily entails choosing among alternatives, and finding compromises that respond to the need to maximize safety, comfort and convenience for cyclists of all skill levels while minimizing distance, delay, or unfavorable travel conditions. Care has been taken to include those streets that can help provide safe and convenient access to schools, recreation centers, and access to shopping and entertainment destinations. The choices presented in this chapter as primary components of bicycle circulation in Edina will allow us to focus resources and to more easily implement, communicate and encourage use of cycling to serve the greatest number of people, trips and destinations in and through Edina in the safest and most comfortable and convenient way. EVERY STREET A SAFE STREET The fact that a network of routes is identified and recommended for implementation in this Plan should not be interpreted as implying that travel on the rest of Edina's surface streets is deprecated. One of the central recommendations underlying this work is that every street in Edina must be safe and comfortable for cyclists, pedestrians, motorists and all other users. 38 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN RECOMMENDED ROUTE NETWORK A map showing the recommended network of routes for Edina's bicycle transportation network is provided below. Routes are classified as part of a Primary or Secondary network; as discussed earlier, Primary routes are those that more directly provide connections to destinations within and outside Edina. Regional routes (the Canadian Pacific Regional Trail and the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail) are included as a high priority component of this Plan. 11 �� . 111s II I��� I, ��� ` !.

SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL One of the purposes of this Plan is to improve provision of safe routes to school so that children may be able to safely ride there. To this end, this Plan recommends establishing a high quality core of routes serving schools in Edina. This core of routes is formed by several Primary routes, including Benton Avenue on the north; Tracy Avenue, Valley View Road and Antrim Road on the east; 70th Street on the south; and Cornelia Drive, 66th Street, Valley View Road and Concord Avenue on the east. These core routes include streets providing some of the best cycling conditions in Edina today (with some exceptions), and, linked together, form a circulation pattern that allows a rider relatively easy access to and between all four Edina quadrants as well as proximity to major destinations. Functioning as a kind of hub, these routes provide direct service to seven of the City's nine public schools, including the City's high school and its two middle schools (where students are of an age when parents are more likely to feel comfortable letting them ride to school on their own). Working in concert with the rest of the recommended Primary routes, this hub will provide safe and convenient access to schools and parks, including the Edina Aquatic Center (one of the top destinations sought by children and families). The set of routes making up this hub are recommended for short -term, high priority implementation. The possibility of designating these group of streets as "Bike to School' routes and providing enhanced treatments should be explored.

Providing safe and convenient Primary route connections to these sites is consistent with the City's 2008 Comprehensive Plan Land Use policies, which include considering "how land use and transportation are integrated to ensure that new development and redevelopment expands non - motorized travel options." .I �ndiltp� — roil ���uen�►. r - t11II`�I ini ii iir �IINi�la.!r41.� AN lop Oil m sr • �' - p w 111..E -- IPER r Potential redevelopment areas in Edina are shown in yellow.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 141 2.3 General recommendations These recommendations should be kept in mind when designing or implementing improvements to surface streets in Edina. Given that bicycles are legal vehicles for use on the same surface roads that automobiles travel on, many of these general recommendations revolve around clearly and consistently assigning space to automobiles and cyclists so that they may safely and comfortably coexist on Edina's roadways. IMPLEMENT A "COMPLETE STREETS" DESIGN POLICY "Complete Streets" is a design philosophy that considers the needs of all present and potential transportation network users. Complete Streets laws and policies ensure that a community's roads and streets are routinely designed and operated to provide safe space and access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders, and to ensure that they work for people of all ages and abilities, including older people, children, and people with disabilities. Adopting a Complete Streets design policy will help ensure that all street construction and street improvement projects in the City of Edina anticipate and address the needs of cyclists, pedestrians and other users, regardless of whether a particular street is included within Edinas formally designated bicycle route network. Over the long run, embedding this Complete Streets approach into the City's normal operating procedures will do more for cyclists and pedestrians than any one specific plan could. This Plan strongly recommends adoption of a Complete Streets policy and design approach as a priority for the City of Edina. DECREASE THE WIDTH OF AUTOMOBILE LANES Decreasing the width of automobile travel lanes can help calm traffic while freeing up valuable road space for bicycle lanes. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), in Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities, a study sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), recommends using a roadway's target (or desired) speed as guidance for the width of travel lanes provided. On Lincoln Drive. MORE ON COMPLETE STREETS You can find more resources on complete streets through the following organizations: • Complete the Streets (www. completestreets. org) • Walk and Bike for Life (www. walkandbikeforlife. com) • The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (www. p e dbikeinfo. org) 42 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN A complete street provides safe and comfortable space for all roadway users. In general (and consistent with AASHTO Green Book guidance), the study finds 10 ft travel lanes are suitable for local and collector streets with operating speeds to 30 mph, while lane widths from 10 to 11 ft are suitable for use in arterials with operating speeds to 35 mph. DESIGNATE AUTOMOBILE SPACE Marking the right edge of the automobile driving lane (or "fog line ") can help calm traffic and designate safe spaces for cyclists to ride on. This practice will in fact also increase safety for motorists as it will discourage automobiles from passing on the right, especially on wider roads and bridges. DECREASE AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL SPEEDS One of the factors that most influences cyclists' (and pedestrians') perceptions of the relative safety of a street is the speed of the automobiles that travel there. Streets with high speed limits are less welcoming to pedestrians or cyclists. Several streets which could serve as important bicycle routes in Edina are made less inviting by high speed limits currently in place. Vernon Avenue, for example, is posted as a 40 mile per hour road along some of its length. City of Edina Engineering staff and leaders are currently working alongside City Engineers from other municipalities to lower statewide speed limits for local and collector streets to 25 mph. These efforts should be supported and continued. In the meantime, Minnesota statutes currently allow cities and other jurisdictions to lower speed limits to 25 miles per hour without need of any additional engineering or traffic study if a bicycle lane is provided. According to Minnesota Statute 160.263 Bicycle lanes and ways, Subdivision 4: "Speed on street with bicycle lane" "Notwithstanding section 169.14, subdivision 5, the governing body of any political subdivision, by resolution or ordinance and without an engineering or traffic investigation, may designate a safe speed for any street or highway under its authority upon which it has established a bicycle lane; provided that such safe speed shall not be lower than 25 miles per hour. The ordinance or resolution designating a safe speed is effective when appropriate signs designating the speed are erected along the street or highway, as provided by the governing body. " THE THREE SPEEDS OF TRAFFIC One of the biggest issues affecting bicyclists' (and pedestrians') comfort and safety is the speed of automobile traffic around them. There is clearly a disconnection between the design speeds of our streets and roadways (how fast cars can travel and still make turns and meet sight distance requirements), a roadway's posted speed limits (how fast cars can legally travel), and that roadway's actual speeds (what motorists actually do). Needless to say, common experience is that for many streets, actual speeds are closer to design speeds than to posted speeds. An effective way of decreasing a roadway's actual speeds is by providing visual cues to drivers that require them to slow down in order to feel appropriate control of their vehicle. Or, as the Institute of Transportation Engineers recommends in their Context - Sensitive Solutions (CSS) report: "Context- sensitive solutions for the urban environment often involve creating a safe roadway environment in which the driver is encouraged by the roadway's features and the surrounding area to operate at lower speeds. " Narrowing travel lanes is one of the most effective tools to accomplish this. Many US cities, including the City of Chicago, now routinely narrow travel lanes down to 10 foot widths (and Chicago does so specifically to free up additional road space to provide bike lanes for cyclists). Narrower lanes do not increase risk to motorists or present any adverse impacts on safety. In fact, they have even been used in Minnesota highway projects where lack of available right -of -way and cost constraints made standard freeway lane widths (12 ft) unattainable. Recently completed portions of Highway 100, for example, include 11 ft lanes where space available was limited. Research and experience, including an upcoming NCHRP report, find there is no safety advantage to 12 or 11 foot lanes over 10 foot travel lanes where posted speeds are 35 mph or less. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 143 SEPARATE CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS Cyclists and pedestrians have different travel characteristics. Mixing both types of users in the same facility increases hazards to both. Designating bicycling space in sidewalks or side paths is not recommended as it increases the potential for crashes between bikes and pedestrians, and, by making cyclists less visible to motorists, puts cyclists at significantly greater risk of automobile crashes. Risk to cyclists is in fact 5 times greater when riding on sidewalks than when riding on a street, even if that street has no bike facilities at all. PROVIDE ON- STREET BIKE FACILITIES Providing bike lanes invites additional riders and greatly improves safety for cyclists, decreasing risk to cyclists by half (over riding in a similar street without lanes). A street with bike lanes is in fact safer to ride on than shared -use or recreational paths (because of greater potential for bicycle- pedestrian conflicts on those paths). CHECK INTERACTIONS BETWEEN TRAFFIC CALMING AND CYCLING SPACE Calming automobile traffic through neighborhoods and commercial areas is an important goal, and one that brings benefits to pedestrians and cyclists. Sometimes, however, traffic calming measures can negatively impact cyclists, especially if they include physical barriers or changes in road configuration that narrow or remove space that could accommodate bicycles. Other options for traffic calming, including painting lane limits and decreasing lane widths can yield the same traffic calming benefits without decreasing space for bicycles. Marking bike lanes on a street is in fact a traffic calming measure because doing so reduces the amount of road space available to automobiles, providing visual cues to motorists that help decrease average speeds and their variability. All proposed traffic calming measures in Edina should be reviewed for their potential impact on bicycle conditions. BIKE FACILITY RELATIVE DANGER INDEX A comparison of relative risk of injury due to collisions for several types of facilities that cyclists commonly ride on. Median risk is 1.0: Type Risk index Major streets, no bike lanes 1.28 Minor streets, no bike lanes 1.04 Streets with bike lanes 0.5 Shared -use paths 0.67 Sidewalks and sidepaths 5.32 Source: William Moritz, University of Washington: "Survey of North American Bicycle Commuters: Design and Aggregate Results," Transportation Research Board, Vol 1578, 1997. Some traffic calming measures that physically narrow the roadway make it more difficult for cyclists to arrive at an intersection and be noticed by automobiles before entering it. Using paint to channel traffic preserves space for cyclists and is cheaper, too. Pictured: 65th Street, near Valley View Road. 44 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2.4 Recommended treatments Improving Edina's bicycle infrastructure will require making physical changes that provide additional space for cyclists, establish route designations, and enhance the functioning of traffic signals to better accommodate the needs of cyclists. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a guide to the types of improvements that are recommended for implementation in Edina, to provide a means to prioritize short, medium, and long- term improvements, and to provide an illustration of what these improvements could look like when implemented - how much space they would require, and where and how they would be located. It is important to note that these sample treatments are presented as concepts that will require further investigation before implementation - these are not final designs, but preliminary recommendations that have a high potential for improving cycling conditions given the constraints and conditions present in specific places and streets in Edina. It is also important to note that the improvements presented in this chapter are not meant to include every single street that is recommended as part of Edina's Primary and Secondary bicycle transportation network, and that the choices for types of treatments are similarly not meant to include every single possibility that could be applied (for a more exhaustive list of potential treatments, please see Appendix A.3 Types of bicycle facilities). Decisions on final configurations and treatments will have to be made during the Plan's implementation, and will require the guidance of the City of Edinas Bicycle Advisory Committee and Bicycle Coordinator (recommended in Chapter 3.2) so that final designs can be integrated and coordinated with other concurrent bicycle transportation and roadway improvement projects. When phasing is discussed, short -term is used to indicate implementation within 2 years of Plan adoption, while medium - term is 2 to 4 years forward and long -term is 4 to 7 years into the future.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 145 2.4.1 Sample treatment options A brief overview of some of the improvements recommended over Edinds bicycle network, along with a brief listing of specific locations where they are to be applied, is given below. A more complete list of bicycle network improvements in use in the US and abroad is included in Appendix A.3 Types of bicycle facilities. BIKE ROUTE SIGNS Bike route signs direct cyclists to their destination, guide them through neighborhoods efficiently and also alert motorists to the presence of cyclists on the road. Bicycle route signs in Edina should include distance, direction and destination information. WHERE TO APPLY THEM • Bike route signs are recommended for installation over Edinas entire Primary network. • Their installation should be done over the short term. They can immediately be applied on streets that provide enough room for cyclists at present. Streets needing additional improvement before bicycling is comfortable should first be improved and then signed. ROUTE DOTS Bicycle "route dots" are small wayfinding symbols painted on the pavement along bicycle routes where they pass through residential or low traffic areas, especially where the route does not follow an obvious road (for example, where a route goes through several turns in a residential neighborhood). WHERE TO APPLY THEM • Route dots are recommended for installation over Edina's Primary and Secondary bike network. • Route dots should be applied where a route requires a cyclist to choose between multiple directions and in the absence of other treatments that would also serve a wayfinding function such as bicycle lanes or sharrows (shared lane arrows). Effective bicycle route signing includes destination, direction and distance elements. Photo: Portland, Oregon. 46 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN This route dot tells a cyclist to veer to the right to remain on this route. Photo: Portland, Oregon. BIKE LANES Bike lanes delineate road space for exclusive use by cyclists. The minimum width recommended for implementation of on- street bike lanes in Edina is 5 ft wide. Please see Appendix A.6 and A.7 for additional resources and guidance on bike lane treatments. Bike lanes are typically striped along the surface of existing roads, either adjacent to the curb or to on- street parking. Integral bike lane - gutter pan curbs provide an extra -wide gutter pan that also serves as a bike lane and avoids the gutter pan - pavement seam that often decreases the available lane width available for cycling. Because these curbs are built of concrete, they typically provide additional contrast for the bike lane when built adjacent to asphalt pavements. WHERE TO APPLY THEM • Bike lanes are recommended for all streets included in the Primary route network recommended by this Plan, including Benton Avenue; 70th Street; Tracy Avenue; Vernon Avenue; Eden Avenue; Interlachen Boulevard; and Dewey Hill Road, among others • Bike lanes should be painted or provided using contrasting materials along designated "Bike to School" routes BLUE LANES Blue lanes are short, painted sections of bike lanes that are located in places where potential crossing conflicts between automobiles and bicycles may occur. WHERE TO APPLY THEM • At locations where freeway entrance and exit ramps cross a road where a bike lane is present. In Edina, they are recommended at Benton Avenue and Highway 62; at Tracy Avenue and Highway 100; 70th Street and Highway 100; and Valley View Road and Highway 62, among others • Where it is important to alert drivers of the potential presence of cyclists in locations where multiple turning movements require an automobile to cross over a bike lane (for example to enter a right -turn lane). In Edina, they are recommended on 66th Street, 70th Street and Valley View Road near Southdale Mall; on 70th Street near Metro Boulevard; and on the eastern segments of Valley View road near Highway 62, among others Six foot wide bike lane on an integral bike lane - gutter pan curb design. Use of concrete next to an asphalt roadway brings additional contrast to the lane. Photo: Lowry Avenue, Minneapolis. Recommended blue lane treatment on 70th Street near Highway 100. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 147 BICYCLE LOOP DETECTORS Bicycle loop detectors help cyclists cross busy intersections and multi -lane roads by recognizing the presence of bikes and tripping signal changes at traffic lights. They are often combined with pavement markings to encourage cyclists to position their bikes where they can be detected. Improving detection of bikes at intersections will help improve cyclist safety and convenience. WHERE TO APPLY THEM • Bicycle loop detectors and pavement markings should be applied wherever a Primary route crosses a multi -lane road, including near France Avenue and Valley View Road south of highway 62, among others UNDERPASSES In general, this Plan does not recommend construction of underpass or overpass structures, recommending instead that surface roads be improved to safely handle cyclists. Many underpasses provide unfriendly conditions that deter cyclist use, while overpasses typically require a significant amount of effort to climb and traverse. Both are also expensive to build. It is important to note that underpass structures can be designed to be more inviting and comfortable. WHERE TO APPLY THEM The underpass structure currently existing under York Avenue and providing movement into Richfield just east of Centennial Lakes is in bad condition and does not provide sufficient space (or light) for comfortable use, especially to accommodate additional travel over this Primary route. This structure should be replaced with a more suitable design following guidance from the Minnesota Department of Transportation Bikeway Facility Design Manual A cyclist positioning his bike over a bicycle loop detector to trip a traffic signal. Photo: Portland, Oregon. An improved tunnel under York Avenue should 48 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN be more spacious and comfortable. 2.4.2 Overview of recommended street configurations This Chapter provides a brief overview of recommended preliminary configurations and treatments for selected streets making up Edina's Primary bicycle route network. The configurations included in this chapter are presented for illustration purposes only. They are not meant to include every single street that is recommended as part of Edinas Primary route network. Similarly, the choices for types of treatments are not meant to include every single possibility that could be applied. Preliminary recommendations are made following the methodology presented in Chapter 2.1. Decisions on final configurations and treatments will have to be made during the Plan's implementation, and will require the guidance of the City of Edina's Bicycle Advisory Committee and Bicycle Coordinator, as well as the participation of the City's Engineering and Public Works Department. Streets are presented in alphabetical and then numerical order. Improvement recommendations are phased over the short, medium and long -term. A cyclist riding near Gleason Road. Although this street presently provides enough space to accommodate cyclists, lack of on- street facilities discourages riding on the road.

Usually located on re- dedicated railroad rights -of -way, the trails offer safe and inviting car -free cycling environments that equally allow experienced and novice riders to use cycling as a convenient option for travel between and within communities. Notable examples in our region include the Midtown Greenway, in Minneapolis; the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail in St. Louis Park; the Kenilworth Trail and others. Unfortunately this network of trails currently bypasses Edina, hindering easy access to regional assets and potentially discouraging increased participation of Edina citizens in the enjoyment of a safe, convenient and healthful activity. This Plan strongly recommends developing dedicated connections to this network. The Regional Canadian Pacific Trail and the Nine Mile Regional Trail, two projects that have recently been the subject of initial study, are here explored in more detail and are strongly recommended for implementation. This Plan also strongly recommends more fully exploring opportunities for concurrent integration and improvement of both trails with Edinds recommended bicycle transportation network, and involving the participation and guidance of the City of Edinds Bicycle Advisory Committee and Bicycle Coordinator (recommended in Chapter 3.2). Our region's trails help provide transportation and recreation opportunities to cyclists, walkers, skaters and wheelchair users. Existing on and off-street bicycle trails in southeastern Hennepin County. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 157 2.5.1 The Regional Canadian Pacific Trail (RCPT) Development of the Regional Canadian Pacific Trail (RCPT) is a priority for this Plan and for the City of Edina. The Regional Canadian Pacific Trail is a proposed shared -use, grade- separated bicycle and pedestrian facility running north and south through Edina within the Canadian Pacific Railroad's existing right -of -way. The facility would provide a direct and convenient connection to existing and planned regional bicycle network facilities outside of Edina, including the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail. It would also provide a direct link to the adjoining communities of Bloomington and St. Louis Park. The Regional Canadian Pacific Trail would additionally provide a safe and direct connection to residential, commercial and industrial areas in Edina. Functioning in combination with the other routes proposed in this Plan, the Regional Canadian Pacific Trail would allow Edina residents easy access to employment and commercial centers in Edina and in surrounding communities, offering faster travel times and safer routes for cyclists and pedestrians. An additional benefit is that the trail, being a safe and inviting car -free cycling environment, could potentially increase the number of cyclists in Edina and surrounding communities by encouraging recreational and novice cyclists to consider bicycle mobility as a real and potentially convenient transportation choice. TRAIL CONCEPT The Regional Canadian Pacific Trail (RCPT) is intended to function as a north -south connection for bicycle commuters and as a recreational trail. Because the RCPT would be implemented within a limited right -of -way adjacent to an active railroad line, it is important that its configuration provide sufficient space for safe utilization by all users, including cyclists, pedestrians, skaters and wheelchair users. Minimizing conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists will increase utilization by both types of users and serve the long -range goals of maximizing use of bicycle network investments. Proposed alignment for the Regional Canadian Pacific Trail (shown in orange). The Regional Canadian Pacific Trail would provide convenient connections to trails and destinations in our region. Photo: Looking south to the CP rail line from 58 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 70th Street. The proposed trail design includes a six -foot pedestrian lane, a seven -foot northbound bicycle lane, a seven -foot southbound bicycle lane and a two -foot green median separating the bicycle and pedestrian lanes. This design enables all trail users to coexist safely within the Canadian Pacific Railroad existing sixty-six foot right -of -way. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The following issues should be considered in greater detail as options for the RCPT'S configuration are refined: • Need to potentially accommodate high numbers of cyclists • Need to accommodate bicycle trailers, adult tricycles (please see Chapter 1.4), and tandem bikes • Providing separate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists helps reduce potential hazards • RCPT right -of -way is currently utilized for low- volume freight transport • Portions of the trail encounter narrow right -of -ways • Although most of the RCPT'S extent runs through developed portions of Edina, a portion of the trail runs through areas that are designated for more intense development in the City's 2008 comprehensive Plan (including the Vernon and 50th area and the area near Ohms Lane, Bush Lake Road and Edina Industrial Boulevard). Strong connections to cycling transportation options should be encouraged as new mixed use and employment uses are allocated to these sites. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE In order to maximize utilization of this important transportation investment, the trail is envisioned as a 24 hour, 365 day per year route (much like the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis, for example). As such, it is recommended that the entire length of the trail be well lit, adequately maintained, and plowed during the winter months. Partnership agreements or a hybrid approach should be explored between the City of Edina and the Three Rivers Park District in order to ensure effective year -round maintenance, including the prompt pick up of litter and debris, and the removal of snow and ice during winter months. Additionally, it is recommended that the City of Edina Police Department and the Three Rivers Park District Police either jointly or through agreement handle the policing of the trail (the use of bicycle patrols is encouraged). A proposed cross - section for the Regional Canadian Pacific Trail. Active rail freight operations and cyclists can easily and safely coexist, even within a limited right of way.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 159 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Given that the trail will also be an important recreational, natural and aesthetic amenity for the City of Edina, it is recommended that the trail be landscaped (using native varieties where possible) for aesthetic and environmental reasons. It is recommended that the City of Edina be responsible for the management of the trail and the surrounding vegetation. COMMUNITY AND AGENCY SUPPORT As envisioned, the Regional Canadian Pacific Trail will provide connections to residential areas, schools, parks, and other planned city trails and regional trails. Given that Edina has a demonstrated need for more trails, citizens of Edina and Edina cycling organizations have expressed strong support for development of this facility. Additionally, there is wide support from elected representatives and public agencies for implementation of this trail. Supporting agencies and bodies include: • The Edina City Council • The Three Rivers Park District • Hennepin County • The City of St. Louis Park, the City of Bloomington, and other surrounding municipalities IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS Successful implementation of the RCPT will require coordination and cooperation between multiple communities and stakeholders including the City of Edina, the City of St. Louis Park and the City of Bloomington, as well as the Canadian Pacific railroad, the Three Rivers Park District, citizen advisory groups from Edina and other communities, and advocacy groups including the Rail to Trails Conservancy and Transit for Livable Communities.

The Midtown Greenway is lit at night and equipped with security measures (including blue emergency call boxes and cameras linked to the Minneapolis Police Department precinct offices) to increase safety and comfort for users. Similar measures are recommended for the RCPT. 60 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2.5.2 Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail The Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail is a proposed shared -use bicycle and pedestrian facility running through Edina, generally from the northwest corner to the southeast corner of the city. The trail, currently under consideration by Three Rivers Park District, would include a combination of segments running along both surface roadways and public park land. Development of this facility is recognized as a priority by this Plan and by the City of Edina, as it would provide safe and convenient connections to existing and proposed regional bicycle routes including the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail, and to the adjacent communities of Hopkins, Richfield and Bloomington. Functioning in concert with other routes proposed in this Plan, the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail would improve bicycle access to employment and commercial centers in Edina and adjoining communities while offering a safe and pleasant recreational space for bicyclists and pedestrians. The Trail would also directly connect Edina citizens to the Three Rivers Park District's regional system of parks and recreational trails. TRAIL CONCEPT The Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail is intended to expand the current regional trail system and improve bicycle and pedestrian mobility and recreation options to communities in the region. Among the goals guiding the implementation of this facility are the following (as stated in the Three Rivers Park District Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail Master Plan Draft, December 2006): • Link local neighborhoods to regional parks and trails. • Provide non - motorized links to destination schools, neighborhood and regional parks, community institutions, commercial centers and transit nodes. • Balance recreation opportunities with natural resource impacts and value. • Provide links to major employment nodes, including commercial redevelopment sites. • Provide links for underserved neighborhoods. • Provide connections into neighboring cities. • Provide safe crossings of high volume roadways and railroads. Aerial view showing the Three Rivers Park District's recommended alignment for the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 161 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The most recent draft of the Master Plan for the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail, prepared by Three Rivers Park District, proposes a 10 ft wide cross - section for the trail to serve two -way bicycle traffic, pedestrians and other users. In locations where width is constrained (due to right -of -way and adjacent landowner issues), the trail is proposed to narrow to an 8 h wide cross - section. Opportunities to work collaboratively with Three Rivers Park District to enhance the currently proposed configuration should be explored. Given that the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail passes through and connects Edina residential neighborhoods, shopping and entertainment destinations, employment centers and recreational assets, it is foreseeable that the trail will experience high levels of ridership through the city. It is also likely that the currently proposed cross - section will not be sufficient to safely and comfortably accommodate the potential number of cyclists and other users it will attract. Some issues that might require reconsideration of the trail's currently proposed configuration include the need to accommodate potentially high numbers of bicycle riders, the need to accommodate bicycle trailers, adult tricycles (please see Chapter 1.4) and tandem bikes, and the need to improve safety and reduce hazards to all users by separating cyclists from pedestrians (and skaters and wheelchair users) on the trail. Addressing these potential conflicts before the trail is built will help maximize usability and use of this important transportation and recreation investment. This Plan proposes an alternative cross - section for this important trail. Although obstacles exist in some locations, a preferred trail configuration would provide a minimum of two 7 h wide lanes for cyclists and one 6 h wide path for pedestrians wherever possible. Additionally, it might be beneficial to explore alternatives to the currently proposed alignment over the portion where it travels along Normandale Road to 66th Street, as there is opportunity to jointly locate this portion of the alignment with the Primary Route this Plan proposes along 70th Street and which serves Arneson Acres Park, Cornelia Elementary School, and easily Combining pedestrians and cyclists in high -use regional trail facilities results in hazardous conditions for both types of users and decreases the utility of important transportation investments.

Making these changes is consistent with the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail Goals presented in the Trail Concept section above, especially with the stated goal of "(providing) non - motorized links to destination schools, neighborhood and regional parks, community institutions, commercial centers and transit nodes. " OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Maintenance practices and trail conditions significantly influence bicycle riders' choices for routes and, more broadly, also influence the perception of bicycle commuting as a potential transportation option. They also have a major impact and influence on trail user safety, trail user experience, and environmental and natural resources protection. In order to maximize use of this important transportation investment, this Plan recommends that the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail be implemented and maintained as a 24 hour, 365 day per year route. Recommended practices include lighting over the entire length of the trail and prompt plowing of snow and ice during the winter months. Opportunities for shared maintenance of the trail should be explored with Three Rivers Park District, as current District policy is to not conduct any trail maintenance activities during the winter. Additionally, Three Rivers Park District typically reserves the right to close bicycle trails under its jurisdiction during winter months unless a maintenance and liability agreement is signed with another governmental body. This Plan recommends that the City of Edina apply for a permit to operate the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail for periods during which the Three Rivers Park District closes it to winter use. It is also recommended that the City of Edina Police Department and the Three Rivers Park District Police either jointly or through agreement handle the policing of the trail (the use of bicycle patrols is recommended). THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 163 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Given that the trail will also be an important recreational, natural and aesthetic amenity for the City of Edina, it is recommended that the trail be landscaped (using native varieties where possible) for aesthetic and environmental reasons. It is also recommended that Three Rivers Park District and the City of Edina explore joint responsibility for management of the trail and the surrounding vegetation. COMMUNITY AND AGENCY SUPPORT The Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail will provide connections to residential areas, schools, parks, and other planned city and regional trails. Citizens of Edina and Edina cycling organizations have expressed strong support for development of this facility. Additionally, there is wide support from elected representatives and public agencies for implementation of this trail. Supporting agencies and bodies include: • The Edina City Council • The Three Rivers Park District Hennepin County The City of Hopkins, the City of Richfield, and other surrounding municipalities All cities (including Edina) through which the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail will travel have approved resolutions of support since 2003. IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERS Successful implementation of the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail will require coordination and cooperation between multiple communities and stakeholders including the City of Edina, the City of Hopkins and the City of Richfield, as well as the Three Rivers Park District, citizen advisory groups from Edina and other communities, and advocacy groups including the Rail to Trails Conservancy and Transit for Livable Communities. 64 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2.6 Bike parking and other end of trip facilities End of trip, or ancillary facilities, are those provisions made for cyclists at the beginning and end of their trip. Bicycle parking, for example, is an end of trip facility that makes it more convenient and inviting for people to arrive by bicycle to a destination. Provision of adequate end of trip facilities cannot be overlooked: if these are inadequate or if finding them is enough of an inconvenience (e.g. no bike parking is available), cyclists will next time choose a different mode for arriving or may choose another destination altogether, even if the provided bicycle routes are perfectly safe and convenient. Inclusion of adequate ancillary facilities for bicyclists, though sometimes viewed as optional components of a transportation or land use plan, is as much a logical requirement for making cycling more convenient and inviting as is providing adequate parking for automobiles when designing shopping destinations, transit "Park and Ride" lots, or new residential or commercial development. TYPES OF END OF TRIP FACILITIES A range of end of trip facilities are in use in cities in the US and elsewhere to increase convenience for cyclists. Besides bicycle parking racks (the most basic and essential type of end of trip facility), these include: • Long -term, secure bike storage or lockers • Showers and changing space for commuters • Bike valet parking • "Bike Stations," dedicated bike storage locations, usually located near transit hubs or other major destinations, where cyclists drop off their bikes to be stored and serviced as needed while the cyclist is at their destination Near Eden Avenue, in Edina. DID YOU KNOW? The importance of end of trip facilities in encouraging people to cycle more has long been confirmed by opinion polls starting in the 1970s. In one of the largest polls of its kind, a 1991 nationwide Harris Poll found that 42 percent of respondents had ridden a bicycle in the previous year. Almost half of this group said that they would sometimes commute to work by bicycle, or commute more often, if there were showers, lockers, and secure bicycle storage at work. Source: Rodale Press, Harris Poll for Bicycling Magazine. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 165 BIKE PARKING Easily accessible, secure and convenient bicycle parking is essential to support people's choice to travel by bicycle. It is especially important that adequate facilities be in place before conducting promotion and encouragement campaigns that invite people to try their bikes for transportation - nothing will be better at preventing people from using their bikes again for travelling to school, shopping or entertainment than getting there the first time and finding it impossible to park. Given that bicycle parking facilities are seldom provided in Edina (as noted in Chapter 1.5), and that there are few alternative bike parking locations like parking meters or street signs, providing ample, convenient and accessible bike parking is one of the first priorities recommended by this Plan. TYPES OF BIKE PARKING Bicycle parking is commonly grouped into two types: • Short -term bicycle parking is meant to accommodate visitors, customers, messengers and others who arrive at a destination and are expected to depart within two hours. A standard "inverted U" rack (see Appendix A.5), appropriate location and placement, and weather protection is recommended. Long -term bicycle parking is meant to accommodate employees, students, residents, commuters, and others expected to leave their bikes unattended for more than two hours. This type of parking should be secure, weather - protected and in a visible and convenient location. Standard racks in a visible, supervised or a monitored location, as well as bicycle lockers, or a locked room with standard racks (and access limited to cyclists only) are recommended. A Bike Station (explained elsewhere in this chapter) provides long- term (and short -term) bicycle parking. EXISTING CONDITIONS A conveniently located bicycle parking area, adjacent to entertainment and shopping, in Iowa City, Iowa. BENEFITS OF PROVIDING BIKE PARKING Providing functional, visible and secure bicycle parking offers these benefits: • It inexpensively and efficiently increases a building's parking capacity • It serves those who use bicycles as a mode of transportation • It supports and encourages bicycle use Good bicycle parking provision near 50th Very little bicycle parking is presently available in the City of and France, and closeup of the recommended Edina. Where it exists, it is usually of a substandard type and "inverted u" racks provided there. is inconveniently located, sometimes farther away than the More details on recommended types of automobile parking lot serving a location. bicycle racks and parking provision guidelines can be found in Appendix A.4 (Bicycle parking facility design guidelines) and Appendix A.3 This section presents a brief summary of a bicycle parking survey (Recommended provision of bicycle parking conducted by members of the Bike Edina Task Force (BETF). A spaces). 66 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN more detailed listing of the survey results is given in Chapter 1.5. SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATIONS Level of bike parking provision in Edina's commercial and entertainment areas is generally low. The best facilities are located near 50th and France, where a total 24 bicycle parking spots of a recommended "inverted U" type are provided. No bicycle parking is provided at 50th and Vernon, or at 70th and Cahill. Southdale Mall provides 6 bicycle racks, accommodating a maximum of 64 bicycles. By comparison, Southdale provides 6,725 automobile parking spaces. PUBLIC SCHOOLS In general, provision of bicycle parking in Edina Public Schools is poor. There is a total of 367 bike parking spaces for a total student population of approximately 7,500 students. There are several schools (including the City's High School) that do not provide any bicycle parking at all. Where bicycle parking is provided, racks are generally of a poor design that does not easily allow bicycles to be securely parked. In many cases, bike racks are located far from building entrances, and are in some cases across the street from the schools or beyond the automobile parking lot. PARKS AND RECREATION CENTERS Parks, ballfields and playgrounds are all prime gathering spots for Edina families and children. However, as shown is Chapter 1.5 (Existing bicycle infrastructure), parks normally provide too few and in many cases no bike parking facilities at all. EMPLOYMENT CENTERS No bicycle parking is provided in the City's major employment areas, including the areas around Industrial Boulevard, Ohms Lane, Metro Boulevard, 77th Street, Centennial Lakes, and the medical facilities near 66th and France. TRANSIT FACILITIES There is no bicycle parking provided at any of the transit stops located within the City of Edina, with the exception of the Transit Center at Southdale Mall, which provides a total of 14 bicycle parking spaces adjacent to the mall's smoking area. One hundred automobile parking spaces are provided as part of the "Park and Ride" operations at the transit hub. Substandard "toast" type bike rack at Valley View Middle School. The majority of bike racks found at Edina public schools do not easily allow bikes to be secured. OTHER END OF TRIP FACILITIES Cyclists who are or may potentially be commuters have some additional needs not normally met by bike parking alone. For example, bike commuters who travel long distances, who travel during wet, hot or cold weather, or who may need to dress more formally than what is comfortable for riding usually need adequate shower, locker, and changing rooms at trip destinations. For some cyclists the existence of these facilities can be as important as bicycle parking in determining their potential use of their bicycles for transportation. Presently, no long -term bike parking, bike stations, shower or locker facilities, or additional end of trip facilities are found in Edina. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 167 RECOMMENDATIONS IMPROVE BICYCLE PARKING AT EDINA PUBLIC SCHOOLS Work with the Edina public school system, the City of Edina, active living and safe routes organizations to improve and provide adequate bicycle parking at all Edina public schools IMPROVE BICYCLE PARKING AT EDINA PARKS • Work with the Edina Parks and Recreation system, the City of Edina, active living and safe routes organizations to improve and provide adequate bicycle parking at all Edina parks and recreation centers IMPROVE PROVISION OF BICYCLE PARKING AT COMMERCIAL NODES AND EMPLOYMENT CENTERS • Adopt the "Recommended Bicycle Parking Provision" guidelines as presented in Appendix A.4 • Identify specific locations where bicycle parking should be installed (can be managed by the Bicycle Coordinator as recommended in Chapter 3.2) • Work with existing businesses and business associations to obtain funding and make necessary improvements • Include consideration and provision of appropriate bike parking accommodations as part of the approval reviews for new development in Edina • Adopt a set of standard bicycle parking designs that ensure that racks provided are functional and meet accepted guidelines (see Appendix A.5) • Consider subsidizing provision of bicycle parking at key locations. The City of Minneapolis, for example, will pay for half of the cost for adding bicycle parking to a location CONSIDER OTHER END OF TRIP FACILITIES AS APPROPRIATE • Explore provision of other end of trip facilities serving bicycle commuters, including long -term bicycle parking and shower and locker facilities as part of the approval reviews for larger development in Edina DEVELOP A "BIKE STATION" AT SOUTHDALE MALL • Bike Stations are dedicated bike storage facilities, usually located near transit centers or major destinations, where cyclists drop off their bikes to be stored and serviced as needed while they commute. Please see Chapter 2.8 "Transit integration" for additional discussion of this recommendation South View Middle School. DID YOU KNOW? The City of Minneapolis operates a program to install public bicycle racks throughout the city. Businesses pay only half of the cost of the racks, the city picks up the remainder as a way to encourage improved provision of bicycle parking. 68 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Bicycle parking serving a recently -built grocery store in Minneapolis. 2.7 Signs, signals and wayfinding Signs, signals and wayfinding are essential components of any successful bicycle transportation system. They help make a network understandable and usable, and encourage existing and potential cyclists to use bicycle transportation facilities. Due to the nature of Edina's existing street system (which does not follow a necessarily intuitive pattern) effective signing, signaling and wayfinding will be critical components for success of this Plan. SIGNS Signs communicate transportation network information and give instructions for orderly, safe and predictable bicycle and automobile movements. Bicycle- related signs also alert other users to the presence of cyclists in a city's transportation network. BIKE ROUTE SIGNS Bike route signs direct cyclists to their destination, guide them through neighborhoods efficiently and also alert motorists to the presence of cyclists on the road. Bicycle route signs in Edina should include "the 3 Ds" (distance, direction and destination) which are described below: Distance • The distance component of an effective bicycle route sign lets cyclists know how long their trip will be, adding a measure of certainty and convenience to the planning of their trips. Distance should be communicated in miles as well as in time. The time should be calculated using a comfortable or "no sweat" pace of cycling (10 mph is recommended). Direction • The direction component of an effective bicycle route sign guides cyclists throughout their trips to their destinations. Directional signing also helps cyclists avoid obstacles such as freeways, cul -de -sacs and dead end roads. The direction is indicated simply by using an arrow on the sign that directs the cyclist to proceed forward or to prepare to make a turn. Including direction on bicycle route signs also gives motorists warning to expect cyclists on the road and to anticipate cyclists' turning movements. Signs help cyclists understand how to get to their destinations and make a bicycle transportation system more inviting and useful. Recommended signing practice, showing distance, direction and destination, in use in Portland, Oregon. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 169 Destination The destination component of an effective bicycle route sign helps cyclists choose the most effective route to their desired destination and helps decrease confusion and wrong turns especially in areas where the street system does not follow a strict grid pattern. BLUE BIKE LANES Provision of bicycle lanes brings benefits to all transportation system users. They define cycling and automobile space, they increase cyclist visibility, and announce to motorists that they should expect bicycles on the road. However, if a motorist is entering a road with a bike lane from a location with limited visibility (e.g., from a highway off -ramp) they may not know to expect a cyclist; similarly, a cyclist may not feel confident continuing on the lane knowing that a motorist might not be aware that a bike lane is in their path. Additionally, automobile drivers may not know to yield to cyclists when crossing a bicycle lane. To remedy this situation, many European cities and some US cities are using colored markings at bicycle- automobile crossings as a way of reducing potential conflicts and increasing user comfort. Best results in US practice have been reported using blue as a bike lane color in these conflict areas. Signs alerting motorists to yield to bikes on the blue lanes should be provided to ensure consistent and safe behavior. WAYFINDING Wayfinding tools simplify bicycle trips and can encourage more people to choose cycling for their daily mobility needs. While route signs do serve an important wyfinding function, inexpensive wyfinding tools provide more continuous reassurance to cyclists as they travel toward their destination. ROUTE DOTS Bicycle "route dots" are small symbols painted on the pavement along bicycle routes passing through residential or low traffic areas, especially where routes do not follow an obvious path (for example, where a route goes through several turns in a residential neighborhood). Bicycle route dots should be employed when a route requires a cyclist to choose between multiple directions Motorists making a right turn movement must yield to cyclists on the blue bike lane (the right side parking lane ends just before the blue lane to become a right turn lane). Photo: Portland, Oregon. YIELD TO BIKES Sample sign announcing to motorists exiting a freeway that they must yield to cyclists on the blue bike lane. 70 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN and in the absence of other treatments that would also serve a wayfinding function such as bicycle lanes or lane arrows. SIGNALS Traffic signals that fail to detect the presence of cyclists frustrate cyclists and motorists alike, and can encourage hazardous behavior. Adjusting existing signals in Edina and employing newer devices at some locations is recommended by this Plan. TRADITIONAL SIGNAL LOOP DETECTORS At many signalized intersections existing loop detectors are not tuned to detect the presence of bicycles. In some cases simply adjusting the existing device and providing markings to direct cyclists to the location where they will most easily be detected can solve the problem. BIKE - SENSITIVE LOOP DETECTORS In cases where existing loop detectors cannot be tuned to function well for cyclists or where installations are undergoing repair or improvement, consider installing loops to detect the presence of bikes on the roadway. Detectors should be installed to cover areas of the road where cyclists are likely to ride, including the right edge of travel lanes and the center of bicycle lanes. The best standard design for detecting the presence of bikes is a modified quadrupole loop (also known as the "Caltrans Type D "). This loop design is sensitive over its entire width with a quick drop off in sensitivity outside its perimeter, which helps avoid detection of vehicles in adjoining lanes. LOOP DETECTOR PAVEMENT MARKINGS Pavement markings can be used to direct cyclists to the proper spot where the signal device may detect their presence. These markings also alert motorists that bicycles will be present in various locations at signalized intersections. BICYCLE SIGNALS Bicycle signals improve safety for cyclists and motorists by eliminating turning movement conflicts on wide roadways and major intersections. They are recommended for use at busy intersections and multi -lane roadways and help improve crossing comfort and safety by giving cyclists a head start. Route dots (typically one ft across) help cyclists navigate through neighborhoods and other locations where routes are not immediately obvious.

THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 171 RECOMMENDATIONS BIKE ROUTE SIGNS • Provide bike route signs along all designated Primary Routes of Edina's bicycle transportation network. • Provide distance, direction and destination on all bike route signs in Edina, indicating distance to other routes and to major landmarks and destinations. BLUE BIKE LANES • Provide blue bike lanes and associated signs at all locations where automobile movements into and from freeways cross over designated Primary bicycle routes, and where multi -lane streets provide for right -turn automobile movements crossing over bicycle lanes. Locations recommended for blue bike lane treatments include 70th Street near Highway 100; 66th Street near Valley View Road and France Avenue; 69th Street and 70th Street near France Avenue; Valley View Road near Highway 62; the intersection of 50th Street and Wooddale Avenue; Benton Avenue near Highway 100; and Vernon Avenue near Gleason Road, Olinger Boulevard and Tracy Avenue, among others. WAYFI NDING • Provide route dots along designated Primary and Secondary Routes of Edina's bicycle transportation network, especially for routes through residential areas and where routes change direction. LOOP DETECTORS • Provide bike - sensitive loop detectors wherever designated Primary and Secondary bicycle routes cross major streets in Edina, including at France Avenue, 66th Street, Vernon Avenue, and 50th Street, among others. • Include pavement markings at all loop detector locations to help cyclists position their bikes to activate signals. BICYCLE SIGNALS • Installation of bicycle signals is recommended for designated Primary bicycle routes serving Southdale, including 66th Street, Valley View and 69th Street, and 70th Street. 150 mm (6 in) 125 mm (5 In) 600 mm (24 In) 010 50 mm (2 in) 150 mm (6 in) Pavement marking recommended by the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) to encourage proper positioning of bikes at loop detectors.

Easy and convenient linkages between bicycles and transit help increase the number of potential bicycle users by increasing the number of destinations available to riders and by alleviating potential concerns about lengthy trips, riding at night, or in poor weather. Effective bike- transit linkages allow cyclists to reach more distant destinations and help increase transit ridership and use. Good bike - transit connections also help make transit work better. If people on bicycles can easily reach transit stations, some of the need for operating costly and infrequent transit feeder service is decreased. This is specially important in a city like Edina where relatively low population densities work against efficient provision of transit service within walking distance (one quarter mile) of commuters. CONNECTING BICYCLES WITH TRANSIT There are four main components of bicycle- transit integration: • Allowing bicycles on transit • Offering bicycle parking at transit locations • Improving bikeways to transit • Encouraging usage of bicycle and transit programs A brief overview of each and some additional practices and programs that may help improve bike - transit connections in Edina are included in this section: BIKES ON TRANSIT Allowing bikes on transit helps extend the distance that a cyclist may comfortably reach. MetroTransit has greatly strengthened the interconnection between cycling and transit in the Twin Cities region by providing space for bikes on all of its buses and trains. BIKE PARKING AT TRANSIT Providing safe long -term bicycle parking at transit stations helps reassure bike commuters that their bikes will still be there when they return from work and will encourage bike commuting to transit. Typically a mix of short and long -term bike parking (see Chapter 2.6 for definitions) is provided at transit centers. Providing easy connections between bikes and transit will help improve transportation options for Edina citizens. Existing transit service in Edina. The Southdale Transit Center is a principal component of Edina's transit infrastructure. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 173 ��N s .l Existing transit service in Edina. The Southdale Transit Center is a principal component of Edina's transit infrastructure. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 173 BICYCLING TO TRANSIT Local and national surveys consistently show that the biggest barrier to more frequent cycling is the lack of safe and comfortable routes to destinations, specifically bikeways. Given that transit centers and stations have not traditionally been viewed as major destinations for cyclists, few safe and convenient bikeways from neighborhoods to transit centers have been developed. Such bikeways, along with the availability of secure long -term bicycle parking and the accommodation of bicycles on transit, are part of the answer for attracting additional commuters to transit, especially in communities where low population densities make frequent transit feeder service impractical. ENCOURAGING BIKING AND TRANSIT Letting people know about existing bike and transit facilities (and showing them how to use them) is one of the best ways of encouraging and increasing their use. Sharing information on the practical benefits of combining bicycling and transit (greater radius of reachable distance, convenient connection to destinations, health benefits from physical activity, and potential time and cost savings over driving an automobile) will help invite potential cyclists to combine their trip with transit. Programs like MetroTransit's "Guaranteed Ride Home" for cyclists who ride their bike to work three times a week or more also help reduce reluctance to travelling without an automobile. Offering discounts or other incentives to people who arrive at a destination by bus or bike can also help increase the number of bicycle and transit riders. BICYCLE "PARK AND RIDES" Many transit agencies in the US have built expansive (and expensive) automobile "Park and Rides" as an alternative to providing costly feeder bus service. Recently, growing concerns about congestion, air quality and facility costs have prompted a reexamination of the "Park and Ride" concept - especially when considering that many of the auto trips to these facilities are less than two miles - an easy cycling distance. Cycling to transit ( "Ride to Ride ") instead of driving benefits communities by reducing demand for land and lowering taxpayer costs, energy consumption, traffic congestion and air pollution.

BIKE STATIONS AT TRANSIT CENTERS "Bike Stations" are common in many cities in the US and Europe. They are staffed, dedicated bike storage locations, usually located near transit hubs or other major destinations. Cyclists who ride to transit can drop off their bikes to be stored and serviced as needed while they continue their journey on transit. These facilities provide long -term bicycle parking and sometimes also include shower and locker facilities. PRESENT CONDITIONS EXISTING TRANSIT SERVICE The city of Edina is served by MetroTransit and SouthWest Transit. Regularly - scheduled transit service includes the following routes: Route Service description High frequency route serving University of Minnesota, 6 Downtown Minneapolis, Uptown to Southdale Mall, Centennial Lakes and Edina Industrial Park 46 Local route between Eden & Vernon and the Highland Park neighborhood in St. Paul 114 Express route from Southdale to the University of Minnesota via Excelsior Boulevard and Hennepin Avenue 146 Limited stop route between 50th/Vernon and downtown Minneapolis via 35W during rush hours 152 Express route from Southdale and 50th and France to the University of Minnesota High frequency route (15 minutes or less) connecting 515 Southdale Mall to Richfield and Minneapolis along 66th Street, then to Fort Snelling and the Veterans Administration Medical Center to Bloomington and the Mall of America BE Line (Bloomington Edina Transit): Southdale Mall to 538 Best Buy Headquarters in Richfield to Normaldale College, HealthPartners and the Mall of America in Bloomington 539 BE Line (Bloomington Edina Transit): Southdale Mall to York and France along Old Shakopee Road to the Mall of America 540 Local route operated by Transit Team, Inc. along 1 -494 between the Edina Industrial Area and the Mall of America Express route connecting York Avenue, Benton Avenue, 578 70th Street, Cahill Road and Southdale Mall with Downtown Minneapolis 587 Express route between 76th and France and Downtown Minneapolis via Highways 100 and 394 Southwest Transit route connecting Fairview Southdale 631 Hospital and Southdale Mall to Eden Prairie, the SouthWest Transit Station and Chanhassen The bike station at Millenium Park in Chicago, Illinois has space for 300 bikes, provides shower and locker facilities, and also includes a repair shop and snack bar. Interior view of secure parking in a bike station in Seattle, Washington. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 175 Additionally, Edina Dial -A -Ride provides door to door shared transit service, on a first come first served basis, within city boundaries. BIKE PARKING AT TRANSIT STOPS No bicycle parking racks or other facilities are presently provided at transit stops within Edina, except for the Southdale Transit Center. SOUTHDALE TRANSIT CENTER The region's fourth - busiest transit hub operates at Southdale Mall. Most transit routes providing service in and out of Edina include a stop at this Transit Center. This Center also functions as a MetroTransit "Park and Ride" lot, where motorists are able to drop off their automobiles and finish their journey on transit. About one hundred automobile parking spots are provided. The Southdale Transit Center provides two bicycle parking racks, located adjacent to the mall's smoking area and accommodating a total of 14 bicycles. The racks are of a "wave" type that is not recommended, as the design requires cyclists to lift their bikes to position them correctly. Secure long -term parking (including bicycle lockers) is not provided. RECOMMENDATIONS CONNECTING TO THE SOUTHDALE TRANSIT CENTER Southdale Mall is an important destination for Edina cyclists. Safe and comfortable routes to the Mall are recommended elsewhere in this Plan. It also will be important to include designated bicycling space for cyclists within the Mall's existing circulation network. Work with Southdale Mall management and with MetroTransit to set up this internal cycling network. IMPROVING PARKING FACILITIES Improving the provision of bike parking facilities at transit stations will make it more convenient for transit users to bike to transit and will, in subtle but effective ways, encourage transit users who don't ride to begin to do so. For transit stops • All transit stops within Edina should include at least one "inverted U" or "post and loop" bike rack. tFr F_ Bicycle parking provided at the Southdale Transit Center. r Southdale Tra"nsit Center• 76 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN A potential route for internal bicycle circulation at Southdale Mall. At the Southdale Transit Center Bike parking at the Southdale Transit Center should include a mix of short -term and long -term parking (See Chapter 2.6 for more information). This Plan recommends that 80% of the total bicycle parking provided at the Southdale Transit Center be configured as long -term parking (See Appendix A.4 and A.5 for additional guidance). ENCOURAGING CYCLING TO THE TRANSIT CENTER Work with MetroTransit and with Southdale Mall management to set up an incentive program to encourage people to begin arriving by bike to the Southdale Transit Center. SOUTHDALE BIKE STATION Work with Southdale Mall management, with Metro Transit, with bike and transit advocacy organizations, and with local independent bike shops to reconfigure the existing Southdale Transit Center and Park and Ride facilities as a bike station offering secure short and long -term bike parking, shower and locker facilities, and bicycle repair services. VERNON AND EDEN AVENUE PARK AND RIDE Work with MetroTransit and the City of Edina to explore including bicycle "Ride to Ride" or bike station facilities as part of the potential development of a proposed Park and Ride facility between Vernon Avenue and Eden Avenue (currently at an early stage of concept development). This facility is also expected to help relieve automobile parking demand at 50th and France; including potential bike rental or checkout services and safe and comfortable routes to this and other nodes in Edina (recommended elsewhere in this Plan) would help transit riders connect to other points in the city. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 177 2.9 Education and encouragement Even the best - planned bicycle network will fail to live up to its full promise if potential riders are unaware of its existence, or if it's difficult to figure out how to get from one destination to another. Routes to school will not be used if children cannot transport their backpacks on their bikes or if parents feel their children lack the skills to safely navigate their routes. Cyclists and automobile drivers will each do better if they learn how to consistently and courteously share road space with each other and to coexist within Edinas transportation and mobility infrastructure. This chapter is about how the City of Edina can go about inviting people to more safely and effectively use the route network that develops from this Plan by making it easier, more convenient and more fun to do so. It is titled "education and encouragement" to acknowledge that both of these activities build on each other, and that learning about safe riding and disseminating information about the City's bikeway networks will lead more people to use their bicycles as a means for making at least some of the several trips that they make within the course of the day. LEARNING TO RIDE SAFELY Cycling is a safe activity that can become even safer with improved education. Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians each have much to contribute to making cycling (and other modes of travel) safer and more effective: one of the leading causes of crashes is the unexpected behavior of at least one of the parties involved. Cyclist, motorist, and pedestrian safety programs can help reduce the risk of crashes and injuries while giving new cyclists the confidence needed to ride more regularly. In fact, safety training has been shown to be one of the most effective and cost - efficient ways of reducing collisions and encouraging cycling. Three main components of safety training are addressed under this section. They center on: • Developing safe cycling skills in children, • Teaching adult cyclists their rights and responsibilities, and • Increasing motorists' awareness of bicyclists' rights on the road, and teaching them how to safely share the road with bicycles 78 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Riding to school is a valuable way for children to explore using their bicycles for transportation. FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE It is important to share information on safe bicycling with young people from early on. Not only will this help them become safer cyclists, but it will also reinforce the message that cycling is a useful and acceptable means of transport. While it is not uncommon for schools in the US to provide automobile driver education for children 16 or older, it is rare to find similar provision of cycling education, even though most children seven and older are able to ride a bicycle and (because of generally poor provision of separated trails) routinely ride in streets that are also used by automobiles. In European countries where cycling serves a much larger portion of all trips it is a given that schools provide formal training in safe cycling for children starting in elementary school. In the Netherlands, for example, children undergo a three week training on cycling rules and maneuvers each year. It is easy to imagine that Edina schools could easily offer something similar, perhaps as a component within physical education classes (and one which could help promote a lifetime of safe and enjoyable physical activity). It is also a given that schools, parks and other places where young people congregate need to provide a physical infrastructure that supports children's cycling by making sure that adequate bike parking, and well- marked trails or lanes, are available (covered elsewhere in this Plan). SOME APPROACHES School children are most effectively reached when an action - oriented teaching approach and a repetitive practice process are coupled with awards and incentives. Awards and incentives can consist of certificates of completion or bicycle /pedestrian licenses, free or reduced -cost bicycle helmets and other accessories, or discount coupons for area bicycle shops. To reach the most children, it is important to work closely with schools to ensure that school -age children are receiving an age - appropriate bicycle safety message and are learning skills that will help them function safely on the public right -of -way. MESSAGES The following messages should be consistently taught: • Wear a helmet. In the event of a bicycle crash, wearing a helmet reduces the risk of serious head injury by up to 85 %. • Obey all traffic laws. Bicyclists have the same rights, and At the 2007 Edina Bicycle Rodeo, organized by Catherine Elliot and supported by the Bike Edina Task Force (BETF). Children and young riders had the opportunity to learn the rules of the road for safe cycling and to practice their new skills in a safe, supervised setting. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 179 consequently the same responsibilities as motorists. • Look both ways before crossing streets. • Always ride with the flow of traffic. • Be predictable and always signal your intentions. • Be visible; wear light - colored clothing and bright or reflective clothing and always use a front light and rear reflectors at night. • In addition, very young children (seven or less) should ride with supervision. FOR ADULT CYCLISTS Adult cyclists range in skills and confidence. Some adults are comfortable riding on busy streets and mixing with traffic while others prefer quieter streets or off - street paths. There are adults who ride a bicycle only a few times a year and those who ride often but primarily for recreation. Each type of cyclist has his or her own concerns and philosophy about how bicycles fit into the transportation system - education efforts must recognize this and tailor messages to each group. It is also important to reach as wide a range of bicyclists as possible. Since adults do not often group together as a captive audience as school children do, it is important to offer a wide range of opportunities to improve their knowledge and skills related to bicycling. MESSAGES The following messages should be consistently taught: • Be alert. Watch for other users and sudden behavior changes. Pay careful attention to potential road hazards, such as potholes and gravel. Adjust speed to maintain control of the bicycle. • Obey all traffic laws; bicyclists have the same rights, and consequently the same responsibilities as motorists. Disobeying traffic laws makes it more difficult for motorists to know what to expect from cyclists and is potentially dangerous. • Always ride with the flow of traffic. Ride where motorists and others expect cyclists, and never against traffic. • Avoid riding on sidewalks. It is illegal in commercial districts in Minnesota, and puts pedestrians at risk. It also makes it more difficult for motorists to see cyclists - research demonstrates that it is in fact 5 times more dangerous than riding on the street, even in places where no bicycle facilities Along 70th Street. DID YOU KNOW? Bike riding on sidewalks is 5 times more dangerous than riding on the street, even if the street includes no provision for bicycles.

RULES OF THE ROAD Please see Appendix A.10 for Minnesota Statutes covering "Rules of the Road" for cyclists and motorists. Prepared by the Bike Edina Task Force (BETF), this Appendix also includes some additional safety and education resources. 80 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN are provided. • Be predictable. Signal your turns and do not weave in and out of traffic. • Be visible. Wear light - colored, bright or reflective clothing and use front lights and rear reflectors or lights at night. • Wear a helmet. FOR MOTORISTS The goal in educating motorists is to foster a broad and general public awareness and respect for bicycling. Many motorists are already occasional or regular cyclists, and may begin riding more often if they see and feel the emphasis on providing safe conditions for all road users. Bicycle route signs and markings are also helpful for motorists because they remind them of the presence of cyclists and of the need to share space with other users of the road. Information on the rights of cyclists should be included as part of training for all automobile drivers. MESSAGES • Be alert. Watch for cyclists and other users and for sudden behavior changes. Pay attention especially at intersections. • Obey all traffic laws. What would amount to a minor fender bender between two motor vehicles could be a serious injury for a cyclist in a bicycle -motor vehicle crash. Driving the speed limit and coming to a full stop at red lights creates a safer environment for all. • Be predictable. Signal turns well before an intersection. • Share the road. Cyclists have the right to travel on all roads and streets except limited access freeways. • Give room. Follow and pass at a safe distance. Never get closer than three feet to a cyclist under any circumstance. It is dangerous and illegal under Minnesota law. • Cyclists have the right to take full possession of a travel lane in several situations, including when avoiding fixed or moving objects on the road (like vehicles, pedestrians or road surface hazards) and when provided road space is too narrow to allow a motor vehicle to safely pass with three feet of clearance of the cyclist. • Be patient and courteous with cyclists and other users. Passing bicyclists just before a stop light or sign creates an atmosphere of unnecessary hostility. • Do not honk unless absolutely necessary. Cyclists can hear and see motor vehicles; honking simply jars their nerves. Members of the Three Rivers Park District Police helped distribute rider safety information to young people participating in the 2007 Edina Bike Rodeo. EDUCATION AND ENCOURAGEMENTS FOR THE EDINA POLICE DEPARTMENT The Edina Police Department can play an important role in improving safety for cyclists, for encouraging people to ride, and for helping educate members of the public about the rights and responsibilities of cyclists on the road. Members of the police are visible and respected members of the Edina community. Encouraging bicycle patrols will allow a visible and immediately available presence on commercial nodes or other important Edina destinations while demonstrating that cycling is a useful and valid transportation choice. Additionally, members of the police can help encourage young people's cycling activities by attending and participating in rider safety trainings and other programs recommended in elsewhere in this chapter. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 181 ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO RIDE How do we invite a recreational cyclist to try commuting to work on her bike rather than her car? Is there an incentive program that can help persuade a shopper to ride their bike to the grocery store? What are some of the tools we can use to get more people to choose to bike (or at least try biking) instead of driving to go shopping or to school, or for any other of their daily trips? This section includes some tools that may be helpful in preparing the ground for the kind of changes in travel behavior the Plan seeks to make possible. STUDENT PROGRAMS Encouraging student cycling will help instill life -long habits of health and activity, and provide proof to students that cycling is a serious and valid transportation option. Some strategies and programs that could be implemented in Edina to encourage student cycling include: • Working with the Edina public school system to encourage students and staff to ride to school • Working to integrate cycling education into physical education classes • Establishing awards and incentives programs for completion of bicycle classes, or for riding to school so many times per week, etc. • Discounts to area bicycle shops as prizes for outstanding students RIDER INCENTIVE AND TDM PROGRAMS Increased use of bicycle transportation can help achieve Transportation Demand Management (TDM) objectives while providing additional benefits, including improving community health and supporting local economic development. Several types of incentive programs are already in use in communities in the US: • Business associations can provide discounts to shoppers who arrive by bike • Employers can offer parking cash out benefits, which give commuters who don't drive the cash equivalent of the parking subsidies provided to drivers These programs are typically recommended to help address issues of lack of parking and increasing congestion that often begin DID YOU KNOW? In 1969, about half of all students walked or bicycled to school. Today, fewer than 15 percent of all school trips are made by walking or bicycling, while one quarter are made on a school bus, and over half of all children arrive to school in private automobiles.

In the case of Edina, potential connections should be explored with the proposal to develop a municipal "Park and Ride" facility near Vernon and Eden Avenue that also means to address parking and congestion issues at 50th and France. SPECIAL COMMUNITY EVENTS Special events offer an opportunity to bring attention to practical, fun, and healthy aspects of cycling as a tool for mobility and transportation. Because they are community-wide and of limited duration, people are more open to participating without feeling like they have to commit to making a long -term change in their travel habits - they are just trying commuting to work once, not everyday. But sometimes that's all that's needed to open the door to adopting new travel behaviors over the long term. Some events and programs that can encourage participation include: • Monthly group rides with the Mayor or other important city personalities can help promote cycling in Edina. Similar events in other cities even close a road or two to auto traffic once a month and make it a bike and pedestrian -only event. • Parks and recreation programs, working with non -profit or cycling advocacy groups, can sponsor cycling events and activities, particularly on trails and regional cycling routes. • Special bicycle commuter events can help raise the profile and potential for bicycle commuting. Bike to Work Week events, which typically include special publicity, route guidance to first -time bicycle commuters, and group breakfasts, offer an opportunity to try cycling in a safe, relaxed and fun environment. Bike to Work Week events have been held in many Twin Cities communities over the last several years. VISITOR PROGRAMS Tourist promotion materials can highlight bicycling as a way to circulate within and experience Edina. For example, guests staying at the Sheraton Hotel could use the network proposed in this Plan to ride to Southdale for shopping and entertainment. Several communities in the US and Europe boast of their cycling orientation as part of their identity and as a draw for potential visitors. Pedal- powered participants returning from Edina's 4th of July Parade. The Minneapolis Bike Tour, held for the first time in September 2007, brought more than 4,500 cyclists to that city's Grand Round Scenic Byway System, which was closed to all automobile traffic. The Tour included shorter rides for novice cyclists. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 183 BIKE NETWORK MAPS One of the greatest barriers to effective use of a bike network is not knowing how to get on it and use it to get to destinations. Printing and distributing bikeway maps is a high - benefit, low cost project that can help cyclists locate bikeways, identify better route choices for their trip, and help them avoid uncomfortable cycling conditions. In addition, maps can provide information covering such topics as Rules of the Road, bicycle safety and maintenance, and connecting with mass transit. Another very potentially helpful tool is the implementation of a "Mapquest for bikes" that allows a cyclist to type in their origin and their destination and prints out one (or several) recommended routes along preferred streets (something very similar to MetroTransit's trip planner). USEFUL CYCLES An important impediment to more widespread use of bicycles for transportation is that the majority of bicycles sold today are not very convenient for taking care of errands and the small shopping trips that make up a significant portion of the auto trips in our region. If you ride over a puddle, your wheel throws water up the back of your shirt; if you wear pants, they get caught in the bicycle's chain; if you have anything besides your wallet to carry there is no place for it, and you must balance it as best as possible on your handlebars as you pedal and steer, bumping it with your knee with every push. And if you're a student, there is certainly no place for your eighty pound backpack on your bike. Fortunately, the remedy is fairly simple (and relatively inexpensive): fenders, baskets, trays, chainguards and lights can be easily purchased and installed by visiting any of Edinds local independent bike shops, which all carry accessories that can help a cycle be a more useful tool for its rider. Working alongside these businesses, health advocacy and transportation organizations may be able to provide discounts or other special offers or events to help encourage students and potential commuters to improve their bikes so they may serve a wider variety of trips. Turning a nice bike into a useful bike: Step l: A comfortable bike, but not very useful for shopping or going to school. Step 2: Ten minutes and $20 later, puddles matter a little less. Step 3: Add $ IS, and a front basket makes a run to the store possible. 84 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2. 10 Operations and maintenance A cyclist rides on two very narrow, high - pressure tires. What may appear to be an adequate roadway surface for automobiles (with their four wide, low - pressure tires) can be treacherous for cyclists: small rocks can deflect a bicycle wheel, a minor ridge in the pavement can cause a spill, a pot hole can cause a wheel rim to bend. Wet leaves are slippery and can cause a cyclist to fall; gravel that gets blown off the travel lane accumulates against the curb, in the area where bicyclists ride. Although bikeways will always be subject to debris accumulation and surface deterioration, a proactive and cyclist- conscious approach to roadway maintenance and operations will go a long way towards ensuring safe and efficient utilization of Edina bicycle network assets. This chapter contains several recommendations that will help maintain and improve Edinds bicycle infrastructure. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS MAINTENANCE BUDGET Preventive maintenance reduces hazards and future repair costs. Maintenance costs and responsibility for maintenance should be assigned when projects are planned and budgets developed; typical annual maintenance costs range from 3 to 5 percent of infrastructure replacement costs - for example, a $100,000 facility should include a $5000 annual maintenance budget. Life -cycle cost analysis is recommended to determine the net value of using longer - lasting higher quality materials during construction if they reduce yearly maintenance expenditures. MANAGEMENT PLANS A management plan is a tool to identify maintenance needs and responsible parties. A management plan that includes the maintenance component for a proposed facility should be in place before construction. Additionally, a management plan should include a means for users of the system to report maintenance and related issues and to promptly address them. A facility's management plans answers basic operational and staffing questions such as: How frequently are preventive Uneven pavements, rough joints and poorly located facilities work against the intended provision of safe and inviting bicycle facilities.

Responds to vandalism and trespassing? Removes litter? Replaces stolen or damaged signs? Waters and weeds landscaping? Acts as the main contact? Does the work? Pays the bills? USER - INITIATED MAINTENANCE REQUESTS The users of Edinds bicycle network will likely be the first parties to notice hazards, maintenance issues, or opportunities to bring improvement to the system. Establishing a formal mechanism for receiving requests for maintenance can help avert deterioration of the city's infrastructure investments while reinforcing citizen - ownership of and providing effective management for Edinds bicycle assets. BICYCLE FACILITY MAINTENANCE REQUEST PROGRAM A Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request Program could help extend the reach of the city in protecting its infrastructure and providing cyclists with an inviting and safe bicycling environment. This program would respond to requests for small- scale, low -cost improvements, such as sweeping, repairing surface problems, and replacing unsafe gratings. Edina cyclists could make a request using existing and recommended bicycle and civic networks: The Edina Bicycle Advisory Committee (recommended in Chapter 3.2) could be an official channel to forward information to the City and monitor network quality Maintenance request cards, which could be made available at Edina bike shops, libraries, schools, and City Hall By directly contacting the City's Bicycle Coordinator (a position recommended in Chapter 3.2). The Bicycle Coordinator would catalogue all requests and route them to the appropriate Edina Public Works personnel. Requests for work outside Edina's jurisdiction (for example for Three Rivers Trails) would be sent to the appropriate jurisdiction, and requests that are outside the scope of the program are considered for the City's Capital Improvement Program or other funding sources. The person making the request is contacted either by letter or telephone once action is taken. Hazardous shoulder on Interlachen Boulevard. 86 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL This Plan proposes the creation of a bicycle transportation network that will allow and invite people to substitute many of their automobile trips by cycling instead. Given Minnesota's weather, and the fact that many bicyclists already bike year -round (and that many more would also if adequate maintenance were given to bicycle facilities), snow and ice removal must be planned with the expectation that bicycle facilities will continue to be used during winter months. Care should be taken to place snow and ice well out of the portion of the travel lane that bicyclists use. Bike trails and paths should also be swept with regularity. Bikeways, gutters and curb ramps should not be used as snow storage areas for snow removed from streets; policies should treat the clearance of snow from bicycle ways and road shoulders as being of equal importance as clearance of snow from the automobile travel lanes in streets. SWEEPING Loose sand and debris on the surface of bicycle lanes, paved shoulders, and paved sections of shared use paths should be removed at least once a year, normally in the spring. Sand and debris will tend to accumulate on bicycle lanes because automobile traffic will sweep these materials from the automobile portions of the roadway. This is especially true for bicycle lanes that are located directly adjacent to a curb, where debris collects already. With experience, the City's Bicycle Coordinator will be able to provide a list of high priority streets to the City's Public Works Department which will aid in planning resource allocations for routine street cleaning as well as for removing sanding materials used during winter snows. SURFACE REPAIRS Bicyclists and pedestrians are more sensitive to problems in the roadway surface than motor vehicles. Small bumps and cracks that are barely noticeable to motor vehicles can cause a bicycle to crash or swerve into traffic. Adequate winter maintenance will help keep bicycle transportation routes open. The Midtown Greenway is maintained by the City of Minneapolis and is open to cyclists and pedestrians 24 hours a day year- round. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 187 A smooth surface, free of potholes and other major surface irregularities, should be provided and maintained. Care should be taken to eliminate other physical problems. Requests for surface improvements should be made through the Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request Program or through the City's inspection and maintenance schedule. RESURFACING / PAVEMENT OVERLAYS Street resurfacing projects provide ideal opportunities to greatly improve conditions for cyclists. However, if not done correctly (by, for example, leaving a ridge or a joint in a shoulder or bicycle lane), some conditions may worsen. Items to consider on resurfacing projects that will help improve conditions for bicyclists include: • Utility covers and drainage grates should be raised to within 1/4 inch of the resurfaced pavement surface, and grates should be bicycle -safe grates • Gravel driveways and alleys should be paved back 5 to 10 feet from the edge of pavement or right -of -way to prevent gravel from spilling onto the shoulders or bike lanes • Using chip seals to surface or resurface shoulders should be avoided, as they will render the shoulder area unusable to most bicyclists • The level of adjacent unpaved compacted shoulders should be raised so they are flush with the new roadway surface, as a vertical drop onto a low shoulder can cause a cyclist to fall into the automobile travel lane • Avoid leaving a ridge in the area where cyclists ride, which occurs where an overlay extends only part -way into a shoulder or bike lane. If possible, the overlay should be extended over the entire surface of the roadway to avoid leaving an abrupt edge. If this is not possible, and there is adequate shoulder or bike lane width, it may be appropriate to stop at the shoulder or bike lane stripe, provided no abrupt ridge remains • Constructing a new pavement over a narrower existing roadbed may sometimes create hazardous conditions. The old roadbed is in most cases narrower than the new paved roadway and because of differential settling longitudinal surface cracking will occur on the paved surface. These longitudinal cracks typically appear from 1 to 2 feet from the edge of the road, in the area where bicyclists normally ride, forcing cyclists to use a shoulder (if one is available), or to ride in the travel lane Two and three quarter inch drop to drainage grate on SOth Street near France Avenue - one of the top destinations for Edina cyclists. A three inch drop along a narrow shoulder on Interlachen Boulevard. 88 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Many overlay projects offer a chance to widen the roadway for greater bicycle space, or to restripe the roadway with bike lanes. The Bicycle Coordinator, working with the Bicycle Advisory Committee, should review each paving list and work with the City's Public Works Department to assign space for bicyclists before these projects are finalized. SIGNS AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS Signs and pavement markings are important features of bikeways and roadways, and help ensure continued safe and convenient use of these facilities. It is critical that bikeway signs, striping, and legends be kept in a readable condition. Well- maintained signs and pavement markings help improve safety and usability of bicycle infrastructure investments. Some recommendations to address these infrastructure elements Photo: Midtown Greenway, in Minneapolis. include: • Regular inspection of bikeway signs and legends, including an inventory of signs to account for missing or damaged signs • Replacement of defective or obsolete signs as soon as possible • Regular inspection of striping, and prompt reapplication as needed. In some cases, striping may be visible, but has lost its slip resistance, which can be a hazard to bicyclists. • Depending on wear, bike lanes may need to be repainted on an annual basis. Bike lane stripes may wear out less often on lower traffic volume streets than on higher volume streets • Cold plastic should be used for skip- striping bike lanes across right turn lanes • Promptly respond to maintenance requests for lane striping and markings as directed through the Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request Program VEGETATION Vegetation encroaching into and under the bikeway creates a nuisance and a hazard for riders. Current practice requires property owners in Edina to ensure their trees and shrubs do not cause safety problems. Violations can be reported through the Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request Program. Tree roots causing premature break -up of surfaces should be similarly reported. DRAINAGE ISSUES Drainage facilities may change grades and deteriorate over time. Ensuring that bicycle -safe drainage grates are located at the proper height greatly improves cyclist safety; it may sometimes be necessary to adjust or replace catch basins to ensure continued Unsafe grate on Gleason Road near Creek Valley Elementary School. This type of grate can trap a bicycle's tires, abruptly stopping the bike and throwing a cyclist over the handlebars. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 189 safe operations and improve drainage. The small asphalt dams that are sometimes constructed on roadway shoulders to divert storm water into catch basins are a hazard to cyclists. Event - related drainage issues (e.g. backed -up grates) and long- term drainage hazards (unsafe grates) can be reported and addressed through the Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request Program, and should be proactively addressed whenever street improvements are made. OTHER MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES CHIP SEALING Chip seals should not be used to resurface shoulders, as they leave a rough surface and render this area unusable by most cyclists. Sometimes chip seals are applied over the automobile travel lanes and part of the shoulder area, which leaves a ragged edge or ridge in the shoulder, with material of different height and texture, and creates a hazard for cyclists. PATCHING ACTIVITIES Loose asphalt materials from patching operations often end up on the shoulder, where the larger particles adhere to the existing surfacing, creating a very rough surface. Fresh loose materials should be swept off the road before they have a chance to adhere to the pavement. UTILITY CUTS Utility cuts can leave a rough surface for cyclists if not back -filled with care. Cuts should be backfilled and compacted so that the cut will be flush with the existing surface when completed. Extra care should be used when cuts are made parallel to bicycle traffic to avoid a ridge or groove in the bicycle wheel track. Three and a half inch drop to catchbasin along a comfortable riding shoulder on Blake Road. A cyclist inadvertently riding into the grate will likely lose control of their bicycle and suffer a crash. Drainage grate along the path of cyclists on the York Avenue bike and pedestrian tunnel. The grate frequently clogs and accumulates dirt and debris. During winter, it fills with melt and ice. This tunnel is recommended for replacement. FOR ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE The recommendations listed in this chapter are meant to provide general guidance for maintenance and operation of Edina's bicycle network. For additional guidance and information please consult Chapter 9 (Maintenance) of the Minnesota Department of Transportation Bikeway Facility Design Manual. 90 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN Section III Implementation This section includes recommendations on implementation priorities, tools to measure success, and mechanisms to ensure ongoing improvement of Edina bicycle facilities. N THIS SECTION: 3.9 - BENCHMARKS 3.2 - BICYCLE COORDINATOR 3.3 - TASKS AND TIMELINE THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 191 3.1 Benchmarks: What does success look like? Establishing benchmarks for implementation will help measure whether progress in developing Edinas bicycle infrastructure is being made and help direct efforts to areas that need increased attention. Two types of benchmarks are recommended for consideration: implementation benchmarks (which focus on how much of the recommended bicycle network is actually developed from year to year) and ridership benchmarks (how many riders does Edina's bicycle network attract). It is important that the goals indicating satisfactory progress not be set so high that success is unattainable nor so low that no meaningful change is required to declare improvement. A number of benchmark measurements are provided for consideration below; these are meant to be used in concert with the timelines for implementation provided in Chapter 3.3. IMPLEMENTATION BENCHMARKS Given that Edinas bicycle network does not at present contain many elements, realistic goals should be established to determine progress towards improving the physical condition and provision of Edinas bicycle infrastructure. An important component of addressing improvement will be the implementation and functioning of the City's Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request Program, which will be especially helpful in decreasing current hazards in Edina's system. REMOVING HAZARDS Within one year • All unsafe drainage grates are removed from Edina's streets • All unsafe shoulder, curb and grate conditions (grates more than a quarter inch below adjacent pavement, deteriorated shoulders, or degraded curb - pavement joints) on designated Primary routes are repaired Within two years • All unsafe shoulder and gutter conditions on designated Secondary routes are repaired An Edina cyclist riding along Wooddale Avenue today. HOW MUCH WILL IMPROVEMENTS COST? A tool to help estimate costs for implementation is provided in Appendix A.8 of this Plan. 92 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN INCREASING SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE Within one year • Existing loop detectors along designated Primary routes where they cross multi -lane roads are tuned to better detect cyclists Within three years • New bike loop detectors are installed along designated Primary routes where they cross multi -lane roads and where existing detectors could not be modified to detect cyclists • Blue bike lanes are installed at all recommended locations along designated Primary routes DESIGNATING AUTOMOBILE SPACE • On streets that are designated Primary routes, stripe the "fog line" (right edge of automobile travel lane) at 10 or 10.5 ft width depending on conditions. Goal is to stripe a minimum of 10% of total road miles per year. DEVELOPING BIKE FACILITIES Within one year • Install bike route signs including distance, direction and destination information on all Primary bike routes (except for those streets, like 77th Street, that currently present other issues that must be addressed first before they are comfortable for cycling) Within two years • Install bike route dots along designated Primary and Secondary routes in Edina • Complete striping bike lanes on designated Primary streets IMPROVING BICYCLE PARKING Within one year • Bicycle parking facilities are provided in all Edina public schools and parks Within two years • Adequate number and type of bicycle parking facilities are provided at all major Edina commercial and retail destinations, including 70th and Cahill, 50th and Vernon, and others Within three years THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 193 All Edina public schools and parks have bicycle parking facilities of a recommended type ( "inverted U" or "post and loop ") The number of bicycle parking facilities provided at Edina public schools and parks meet the recommended guidelines specified in Appendix A.4 All transit stops in Edina include parking space for at least two bicycles RIDERSHIP BENCHMARKS Baseline ridership levels help determine changes or improvements in the use of bicycle facilities. Although not much information on existing bicycle ridership levels in Edina is currently available, a preliminary benchmark base level can be established using the recently completed Edina bike counts taken in September 2007. These counts, part of a larger, coordinated base level bike count effort led by Transit for Livable Communities, were the first time that bicycle counts were conducted in Edina simultaneously with counts throughout our region. Counts were conducted by BETF volunteers at two locations, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., over two days. In that time period an average of 21 bikers and 35 pedestrians were counted at 44th Street and Brookside Avenue while 17 bikers and 14 pedestrians were counted at 70th Street and Cahill Road. These numbers can be carried forward as cycling baselines at those locations, and can be used to ascertain progress in subsequent years. It is recommended that bike counts be conducted annually at additional locations; it is also recommended that the City's Bicycle Coordinator (recommended in Chapter 3.2) manage the program and coordinate it with wider regional efforts. A yearly growth of 10% in the number of riders at each location (and at new ones as this data collection effort expands) will indicate satisfactory progress for this Plan. MOVING FORWARD New benchmarks should be set up as this Plan is adopted and implemented, as experience guides new directions and issues relevant for implementing the vision behind this Plan. It is recommended that this Plan and its benchmarks and recommendations be revisited within three years of adoption. 94 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 3.2 Bicycle Coordinator This Plan recommends the creation and funding of a new "Bicycle Coordinator" position within the City of Edina to coordinate implementation of the Plan, to attend to and coordinate response to bicycle network maintenance and operations issues, and to advocate for the needs of cyclists as other transportation and land use projects are designed and implemented. The position need not be full time, but should be permanently funded and allow a new or existing staff person to dedicate a minimum of 10 hours per week to bicycle- related issues within and around the geographic area of Edina. Tasks and responsibilities would at minimum include: PLANNING • Coordinate and integrate bicycle planning and network implementation with other city, county, regional parks district and state programs, agencies and bodies • Review all roadway and land use plans for impact on bicycle travel and conditions; make and pursue recommendations for improvement as needed before projects are constructed • Review traffic- calming and other roadway measures for impact on conditions for cyclists • Coordinate implementation of route recommendations as part of other projects (for example recommending that bicycle - friendly curb - and - gutter is specified in street reconstruction projects) • Represent the interests of Edina cyclists by serving as liaison with adjoining jurisdictions and regional entities during design and implementation of their respective local and regional bicycle and other transportation infrastructure • Provide advice to policymakers, including members of the Edina City Council and the Edina Transportation Commission, on transportation and land use issues with the aim of improving conditions for cyclists in Edina • Coordinate bicycle- related transit infrastructure improvements, including provision of bike parking at key transit locations and coordinating improvements to bike parking and potential development of a bike station at Southdale Mall as part of its operation as a Transit Center CITIZEN STEWARDSHIP i Ultimately, the purpose of improvements to Edina's bicycle infrastructure is to bring benefits to its citizens. It is therefore critical that a structure for citizen stewardship of this Plan be j devised and implemented. This Plan recommends the following two components of a citizen guidance and stewardship mechanism for improving Edina's bicycle infrastructure: Establish a Bicycle Advisory Committee Many cities that are successfully implementing improvements to their bicycle infrastructure owe a great deal of their success to the role that citizen - activists have played in guiding implementation of their bicycle plans and ensuring the ongoing improvement of existing facilities. A Bicycle Advisory Committee typically includes representation from interested members of the public and participation from city engineering, public works and /or planning staff so that relevant issues can be promptly discussed and addressed. Edina's Bicycle Advisory Committee would provide citizen direction for implementation of Plan recommendations and provide additional guidance for improving Edina's bicycle transportation network as needed. 2. Formally include cyclist representation in transportation decision - making The Edina Transportation Commission advises the City of Edina on issues relating to transportation and transportation improvements over its surface street network. Formally including at least one representative from the Edina Bicycle Advisory Committee as a full member of the Edina Transportation Commission would help ensure that the voice of cyclists is included during deliberations on improvements to Edina's transportation network. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 195 MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS • Create and administer a spot improvement / Bicycle Facility Maintenance Request program to reduce roadway hazards and to quickly respond to cyclists' requests for maintenance or repair of bicycle infrastructure PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT • Serve as City of Edina liaison to the Bicycle Advisory Committee and other Edina citizens' groups working on improving conditions for cycling in the City EDUCATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT • Provide information and conduct workshops to improve cycling safety, including coordinating with Edina schools to include bicycle education as part of their physical education programs, and coordinating community requests for training for adults • Coordinate preparation and publication of Edina bike network maps MEASUREMENT • Collect and maintain bicycle use data, including regularly monitored bicycle counts, studies of origins and destinations, accident information and infraction data • Develop yearly reports detailing use of bicycle facility network, identifying focus areas for improvement FUNDRAISING • Pursue local, state, federal and private funds for improving bicycle infrastructure, for encouraging greater use of Edina bicycle network assets, and for conducting education and encouragement campaigns 96 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 3.3 Tasks and timeline This Plan articulates a vision for improving bicycle conditions and infrastructure within the City of Edina. This chapter presents a simplified timeline prioritizing recommended improvements over the short, medium and long -term. In general, low -cost improvements are recommended for the short term, while more expensive and involved initiatives are recommended for the future. Where relatively expensive improvements are recommended over the short -term it is in recognition that quickly addressing some issues may lead to lasting and important gains in others - for example, quickly addressing the lack of adequate bicycle parking in Edina schools and parks will make it easier for children and families to bike to those locations and maybe begin biking to others too. A listing of organizations, public officials and government agencies whose involvement would be needed for implementing each of the recommended steps is also included in the timeline. Many important conversations between citizen organizations, public officials, funders and other partners will have to take place before all the resources are in place to make the changes listed in this Plan. Convening a Bicycle Advisory Committee, or a Plan Implementation Working Group or Task Force, will be a helpful first step in coordinating the various conversations and commitments that implementing this Plan will require. Phasing of improvements for individual recommended routes or segments is included in Chapter 2.4, where description of potential short, medium, and long -term improvements are given for each. Edina citizens are interested in seeing improvements to the City's bicycle infrastructure. Photo: At the 2008 Comprehensive Plan public meetings held in August 2007. HOW MUCH WILL IMPROVEMENTS COSTI!

Maintain a quality, sustainable environment 104 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN A.2 The MetCouncil's 2030 Transportation Policy Plan The following policies are part of the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Transportation Policy Plan. The section excerpted below deals directly with bicycle mobility. POLICY IS: DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN EFFICIENT PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE TRAVEL SYSTEMS Safe, high - quality, continuous, barrier -free pedestrian and bicycle facilities must be developed, maintained and improved to function as an integral part of the region's transportation system. Compact, mixed -use development with facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists helps reduce short automobile trips. Over the last 10 to 15 years, the region has made an effort to direct a higher level of transportation investments to special facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists, either as freestanding projects or as part of larger transportation projects. As the region promotes the development of mixed -use centers, providing facilities for these non - motorized modes becomes an increasingly important component of planning at the city, county and regional level. As recognized in the federal surface transportation law, well- developed pedestrian and bicycle systems help promote energy conservation, reduce the pressure on the highway system, and preserve the environment. In addition, recent research indicates that residents of places designed with accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians are more active and therefore healthier than residents of other areas. Strategy 15a: Funding Priorities for Pedestrian and Bicycle Projects Funding priority will be given to bicycle and pedestrian projects that: • Serve the greatest number of likely users, especially commuters; • Support compact and mixed -use development; • Serve a valid transportation need or purpose; • Provide safety and security for users, or help educate residents regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety; • Are cost - effective; • Are integrated with other transportation modes; • Provide a direct connection to a multi -modal transfer facility; • Link schools, office, commercial, industrial, recreational and residential destinations; and • Fill gaps in or add continuous segments to the regional bicycle and pedestrian systems. Projects must be included in or consistent with the policies of a comprehensive plan or an official agency capital improvement program in order to receive federal funding (see Strategy 20c). Strategy 15b: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Linkages to Transit Linking pedestrian and bicycle facilities to transit is important to developing a multi -modal transportation system for the region. The Council installs bike racks on all buses. This allows travelers to use their bicycle at either end of a transit trip in order to reach their destination. Good sidewalk access and on- street bike lanes in the vicinity of bus stops and transitway stations can encourage travelers to use transit. Heated bus shelters, marked crosswalks, bike racks and lockers, and other facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists will be provided at park- and -ride lots, transit hubs and at major destination centers throughout the region, including the downtowns. To encourage a strong intermodal link, the operating policy for all transit modes, including LRT and commuter rail, will be to allow bicycles on board, and bicycle racks and lockers will be located at transitway stations. Bicycle and walking paths to the stations and on -site bike storage are important components to consider in station design in order to achieve strong connections with the community and create a quality bicycle /pedestrian environment around the stations. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 105 Strategy 15c: Pedestrian and Bicycle Elements of Local Comprehensive Plans No pedestrian or bicycle project will be funded through regional transportation project selection processes unless included in or consistent with the policies of a state or regional plan, a city or county comprehensive plan found to be consistent with Council plans, or an adopted capital improvement program. Pedestrian and bicycle elements of local comprehensive plans shall: • Promote safety of pedestrians and bicyclists; • Provide connections to adjacent (local and county) jurisdictions and their walkway and bikeway systems; • Fill gaps and remove barriers in the existing local, county or regional walkway /bikeway systems; • Design and locate walkways and bikeways to serve both travel and leisure purposes; • Provide pedestrian and bicycle facilities to and within high activity nodes, especially commercial and transit centers; and • Include programs for educating motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists to increase awareness of and respect for the rights and responsibilities of all three types of travelers. Strategy 15d: Coordinated Planning Among Local Jurisdictions Local, county, regional and state agencies will coordinate planning efforts to develop efficient and continuous pedestrian and bikeway systems, eliminate critical gaps and ensure adequate interjurisdictional connections and signage. The Council publishes a Regional Parks Map that shows the state and regional off -road trails in the metropolitan area, and state, regional and local agencies are nearing completion of a metropolitan bikeway map. Cities and counties can use these maps as starting points to develop integrated metro wide walkway and bikeway systems. Strategy 15e: Pedestrian and Bikeway Improvements to Roadways When a principal or minor arterial road is constructed or reconstructed, off -road walkway designs and both on- and off -road bikeway designs should be considered, with special emphasis placed on safety and barrier removal. Bikeways and combined bicycle /pedestrian facilities shall meet MnDOT State Aid standards and AASHTO guidelines, and also consider Mn /DOT Bicycle Transportation Planning and Design Guidelines. Pedestrian facilities will be provided along roads when feasible, as many roads in the region currently do not have adjacent sidewalks or separated pedestrian paths. Bicycle facilities shall be provided within existing rights -of -way when feasible instead of acquiring exclusive new rights - of -way for these facilities. Every bridge that is newly constructed or reconstructed that removes or crosses a barrier for pedestrians and bicyclists must include a walkway and bikeway to allow these travelers safe access to the same regional resources as motorized vehicles unless a reasonable alternative exists within one quarter mile for pedestrians or one mile for bicyclists. When feasible, bicycle facilities should be separate from pedestrian facilities. Strategy 151: Pedestrian and Bicyclist Education To maximize safe and pleasant pedestrian travel, the Council encourages educational promotions to increase awareness of and respect for the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians and bicyclists. Local, state and regional agencies should be encouraged to establish safety programs oriented toward educating the public in the proper use of sidewalks and crosswalks by pedestrians and of bicycle lanes and paths by bicyclists. Programs will also provide training in proper bicycling procedures such as making turns, stopping at stop signs and signals. In addition, programs will educate motorists regarding pedestrian roadway crossing laws, how to safely interact with bicyclists riding legally in the roadway, and generally to be aware of pedestrians and bicyclists. The Council also supports the implementation of Safe Routes to Schools programs at the local level and programs aimed at teaching children to walk and bike safely, including the use of proper equipment and helmets while bicycling. 106 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN A.3 Types of bicycle facilities This section provides a brief summary of facilities, treatments and technologies that may be helpful in increasing Edinas bicycle orientation. Some of the treatments listed here were provided by Transit for Livable Communities (www.ticminnesota. org) as potentially eligible for funding under Non - Motorized Transportation Pilot Program funds. ADVANCE BOXES Advance boxes allow cyclists to wait in front of motorists at red lights and enter the intersection first after the signal changes. Generally, they are well- marked by paint. Advance boxes are extensively used in Europe and have been piloted in several US cities including Davis, California. They are often accompanied by an exclusive bicycle signal (see Bicycle Signal Heads) that turns green a few seconds before the signal for motorists. Advance boxes work best in locations where well -used bike lanes or Bicycle Boulevards exist; where the street to be crossed is busier than the street with the advance boxes; and where a large number of the cyclists using the advance boxes will be turning left. BICYCLE BOULEVARDS I BICYCLE STREETS Although bike boulevards or bicycle streets can be located anywhere, they are generally located on streets that parallel nearby arterial street where bike lanes are not feasible. To attract bicyclists who want to travel at a steady pace, bicycle boulevards must be properly designed and engineered. Typically, many stop signs are removed to give priority to bicycle movement. Other features of bicycle boulevards or bicycle streets include: • Minimal delays at stoplights • Restricted automobile access (aside from local traffic) • Traffic calming measures to reduce motor vehicle speeds and through trips • Special pavement markings denoting a bicycle boulevard • Reduction of automobile speed limits to 25 miles per hour or lower BICYCLE SIGNAL HEADS Bicycle signal heads are traffic lights that give cyclists a few seconds of a head start in passing through an intersection. They Advance box in Vancouver, British Columbia. A bicycle boulevard. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 107 are especially useful when used in conjunction with Advance Boxes, and are also recommended in places where a right turn lane for motorists crosses a bicycle side path. Right- turning vehicles receive a red arrow signal during the green phase for bicyclists. BICYCLE PARKING FACILITIES Lack of bicycle parking facilities is a significant barrier to bicycle use. Providing bike racks at locations like schools, shopping centers, workplaces, libraries, post offices, recreational areas, and other centers of activity will, at relatively low cost, help improve Edinds bicycle orientation. Racks should be located in highly visible locations near the front entrance of an establishment and closer to the building than motor vehicle parking. Even if located on private property, they should remain available to the general public. A number of cities (including Palo Alto, California and Madison, Wisconsin) require that all new developments provide adequate bicycle parking and specify that the spaces "cannot be farther away than the closest car parking space." BIKE LANES Bike lanes are on- street facilities at least 5 feet wide for each -way travel consistent with the flow of traffic and generally on the right side of the travel lane(s). As much width as possible should be provided for bike lanes; treatments, including the use of colors, can make lanes more easily noticed. On streets that are one -way for cars, consideration should be given to providing a contra -flow bike lane in addition to a bike lane going with traffic. Two -way bike lanes (not separated), although in current use in Minneapolis and other US cities, are inconsistent with AASHTO standards. Bike lanes are generally marked with a painted line, although some bicycle lanes have physical barriers between motorized traffic and bicyclists. BIKE PATHS, SHARED -USE OR MULTI -USE TRAILS Most bike paths are shared -use facilities that accommodate bicyclists, pedestrians, and skaters. These off - street facilities are often located along rivers, railroad corridors, utility easements, Bike parking should be provided adjacent to principal building entrances. 108 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN On- street bike lanes in Minneapolis. and canals, or through parks and other open space. Bike paths and multi -use trails should safely allow for two -way travel with a minimum total width of 10 feet (12 feet when shared with pedestrians). Whenever possible, pedestrians should be separated from the bicyclists on bike paths and multiuse trails. Two -way trails adjacent to urban streets (side paths) are not recommended due to the high number of intersections and driveway crossings. One -way on- street bike lanes for bicyclists and sidewalks for pedestrians should be used instead. If side paths are deemed the only suitable solution, one -way trails should be placed on both sides of the roadway for bike travel in the same direction as motorized traffic. Such trails should be a minimum of seven feet wide and well marked with one -way directional arrows. Two -way side paths are not recommended because of safety concerns. BIKE ROUTES The term "bike route" may denote any corridor recommended for bicycle travel. For planning purposes, the term is limited to roads marked with bike route signs. There is no uniform or consistent methodology to determine which roads are suitable for such a designation. Bike route signs can help cyclists navigate gaps that exist in the bikeway network. In such situations, the signs should also include information directing cyclists to the nearest Bike Path or Bike Lane. BIKE STATIONS Bike stations are facilities where people can park or rent bikes, get bikes fixed, obtain maps, and use shower and locker facilities. Most bike stations, especially in Europe, are connected to a train station or other major transit hub, allowing for convenient multi - modal travel. Full- service bike stations with sheltered parking for 3,000 or more bicycles can be found in Germany, Japan, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The possibility of providing a bike station at Southdale Mall is recommended elsewhere in this Plan. The City of Edina, Mall management, and the City's Bicycle Advisory Committee may wish to partner with nonprofit organizations and other civic groups to create a bike station there to serve the needs of shoppers, workers and transit riders who may use it as a bicycle "Park and Ride." View of the Midtown Greenway, a shared -use facility in Minneapolis. Bike station in San Francisco adjacent to a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 1 109 BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES This Plan does not recommend construction of overpass or similar structures where a suitable at -grade (ground level) crossing is possible. Studies show that most pedestrians and bicyclists will avoid an overpass if an at -grade crossing is available. Overpasses and bridges cost far more to build, and take more time to use and demand more exertion from users. Techniques to reduce delays and increase the safety of non - motorists at major intersections should be fully explored before an overpass or underpass is considered. CONTRA -FLOW BIKE LANES Special lanes allowing bicyclists to travel in the opposite direction of motorists on one -way streets have been successfully piloted in Minneapolis and other cities. Since this is an innovative strategy in the US, lanes need to be well marked with warning signs at all side streets. Contra -flow lanes should be located on the side of the street that is consistent with normal two -way movement. To prevent wrong way riding within the contra -flow lane, a regular bike lane (on the opposite side of the street) should also be provided. DIVERTERS Diverters are structures (including bollards, landscaped medians, or public art) that compel motor vehicles to turn right or left on a street where bicyclists and pedestrians are free to continue in the same direction. Street markings (preferably colored asphalt) should be used to help non - motorists safely cross a street and move through the diverters. This Traffic Calming approach is quite useful in creating Bicycle Boulevards. INCENTIVE PROGRAMS Incentive programs seek to encourage more people to walk and bike. City employees in Olympia, Washington, for example, receive $2 per day if they walk, bike, or use public transportation to get to work. In Arlington, Virginia, city employees who ride or walk to work at least three times a week receive an extra $35 per month. The City of Westerville, Ohio, provides employees with an extra 15 minutes of vacation time for each day they bike or walk to work (one day of vacation roughly every six weeks for full -time bikers and walkers). These cities say that the incentives pay for themselves through savings in parking costs, health The bridge carrying the Midtown Greenway over Hiawatha Avenue in Minneapolis.

MEDIAN ISLANDS Medians can become a refuge for pedestrians and bicyclists trying to cross a busy roadway. With a safe haven in the middle of the street, bicyclists and pedestrians only need to negotiate half of the motor traffic at a time. A 10 foot wide median is the minimum recommended to accommodate cyclists pulling trailers. MID -BLOCK CROSSINGS Mid -block crossings are often safer than intersection crossings because they are free of vehicle turning movements. These crossings are especially useful in areas with high levels of jaywalking, since they provide clear places to cross the street at often - jaywalked locations. Marked mid -block crosswalks should be accompanied by signs and /or special signals to ensure motorist compliance and pedestrian safety. Mid -block crossings (and trail crossings) on roads with more than two lanes should always be signalized or provided with medians or refuge islands. MULTIPLE LANE CONVERSION /REDUCTION PROJECTS Typical four -lane streets can be converted to three lanes with negligible impact on the level of service for motorists. Four to three lane conversions provide a single lane for each direction of travel, but allow for left turns from the center lane. These conversions typically free up enough space for Bike Lanes to be added on both sides of the street and to improve conditions for pedestrians. There is also considerable potential for six to five lane conversions and, on many one -way streets, three to two lane conversions. Four to three lane conversions have been successfully used on major arterial roads with annual average daily traffic (AADT) greater than 25,000. RAISED BIKE LANES / CYCLE TRACKS Also known as "cycle tracks," these on- street facilities are typically separated from motorized traffic by a parking lane. A rise roughly equal to half the usual curb height prevents cars in the parking lane from occupying any part of the bike lane. Raised bike lanes should be a minimum of eight feet to allow for riding two abreast and be built in one -way configurations on both sides of the street. In many ways, raised bicycle lanes provide the security of off - street bike lanes without the high costs for a separate right of way Cycle track in Esslingen, Germany. THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN I I I I and without the inherent safety problems at crossings. ROAD NARROWING OR LANE NARROWING It's commonly assumed that Bike Lanes, wider sidewalks and other improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians will require wider roads and more right -of -way. Experience in Minnesota and elsewhere, however, shows that significant improvements can be made without widening the current roadway. By re- striping travel lanes or reducing the number of travel lanes (often called a "road diet "), pedestrian and bicyclist needs can be accommodated without widening the street. Where traffic volumes allow, consideration should be given to reducing travel lanes from four to three lanes, using a center turn lane to allow space for bike lanes on both sides of the street. Reducing travel lane widths to 11 feet or lower (which in some cases require a variance from local, county or state officials), especially on streets with four or more lanes, can make room for bike lanes. Even if enough space for a regulation bike lane can't be made available, simply having a wider curb lane can significantly improve the cycling environment. Many U.S. cities (including Boulder, Portland, and Chicago) have reduced lane widths on urban arterials to 10 feet in order to add space for bicyclists. SIGNS Distance /Destination signs, which provide information about distance to particular destinations, are an effective way to promote walking and biking and should be considered as part of any bikeway or walkway project. UNDERPASSES Although this Plan elsewhere recommends replacement of the underpass under York Avenue, in general underpasses are not recommended where suitable at -grade crossings are feasible. When underpasses are necessary, they should be designed and constructed in a way that allows maximum light to shine in, and the entrances should be clearly visible from the street level. These measures will reduce personal safety concerns. (See Bridges /Overpasses). Minimizing the slope will increase safety and convenience. Bike route sign in Portland, Oregon.

Providing functional, visible and secure bicycle parking inexpensively and efficiently increases a building's parking capacity, serves those who use bicycles as a mode of transportation, and supports and encourages bicycle use. Choosing appropriate components and layout for a bicycle parking facility will improving the conditions for bicyclig to a location. BIKE PARKING COMPONENTS Functional and convenient bike parking results from the proper design and combination of the following three elements: • The design of the bike rack itself, which supports the bicycle • The rack area, which may include several individual bike racks • The location of the rack area, and its relationship to the building entrance it serves and the cyclists' approach to that entrance THE BIKE RACK The rack should support the bicycle upright by its frame in two places, enabling the frame and one or both wheels to be secured while preventing the bicycle from tipping over. Additionally, it should not require a cyclist to lift their bike to be able to lock it securely - a useful rack design should allow a cyclist to roll -in or back -in their bicycle to lock it. Comb, toast, schoolyard, and other racks that provide no support for the bicycle frame are not recommended. THE RACK AREA The rack area is the "bike parking lot" that the racks and the circulation needed to move in and out of the racks define. To be functional and useful, certain minimum clearances and access rules should be observed: "Hanger" bike racks in Iowa City, Iowa. Angled "post and loop" installation in Minneapolis minimizes space requirement for racks and maximizes usable pedestrian space. Two types of rack recommended by this Plan: the "inverted U" (left) and the "post and loop" (right). 114 1 THE CITY OF EDINA COMPREHENSIVE BICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN • Individual racks should be located no closer than 30 inches to each other in order to allow sufficient space for easy entry and removal of bicycles on either side of the rack • No rack element should be closer than 24 inches to a wall or other obstruction in order to allow full usability and easy access to perimeter racks • Large rack areas, or rack areas with high turnover, should provide more than one entrance to ease circulation of cyclists and pedestrians • Rack areas should preferably offer protection from rain and snow in order to ease loading and unloading of bikes and to keep bike saddles dry • When multiple rows of bike racks are provided, the circulation space provided from the wheel of a bike on one row to the closest wheel of a bike on the next row should be a minimum of 48 inches The "comb" bike racks found in many schools (including in Edina) are not recommended as they only secure a bike's wheel, from which the frame is easily detached. DID YOU KNOW? LOCATION Of THE RACK AREA A number of cities (including Palo Alto, California One of the most important considerations in providing useful and Madison, Wisconsin) require that all new and functional bicycle parking is the location of the rack area in developments provide adequate bicycle parking relation to the building it serves. Some guidelines for locating the and specify that the spaces "cannot be farther rack area include: away than the closest car parking space." • The recommended location for a bicycle parking area is immediately adjacent to the entrance it serves, preferably within 50 feet. It should be located as close as possible without blocking the entrance or inhibiting pedestrian movement to or from the building • The rack area should be clearly visible from the entrance it serves and from the building's approach line • Bike rack areas should be as close or closer than the nearest car parking space • Buildings with multiple active entrances should include bike rack areas at each entrance • Racks that are hard to find, are far from principal entrances or perceived to be unsafe will not be used by cyclists "Wave" racks are not recommended because, as a result of their design, cyclists tend to use them as if they were a single "inverted U." This limits their actual capacity to two bikes regardless of the potential or stated capacity.

C. the Edina City Council. From: John Keprios, Director Consent ❑ Park & Recreation Department Information Only ❑ Date: October 16, 2007 Mgr. Recommends ❑ To HRA ® To Council Subject: Private Fund Raising Venture with ® Motion Edina Community Foundation ❑ Resolution ❑ Ordinance ❑ Discussion RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council authorize the Park Board to conduct a Public Hearing on the proposed private fund raising venture with the Edina Community Foundation to develop an artificial turf athletic field with lights at Pamela Park. This recommendation would include a neighborhood public input meeting with staff and consultant prior to the Park Board's Public Hearing. INFOBACKGROUND: At the Tuesday, October 2, 2007, joint work session with the Park Board, the Council directed staff to place this proposed fund raiser project on the Council's agenda to decide on the process that staff and Park Board should follow. The proposal is to raise donated funds via the Edina Athletic Facilities Foundation, which is an authorized committee of the Edina Community Foundation, for the purpose of developing an artificial turf multi- purpose athletic field with lights for Pamela Park. The Edina Athletic Facilities Foundation is chaired and spear- headed by Park Board member George Klus. The established mission statement of this committee of the Edina Community Foundation is: The Edina Athletic Facilities Foundation supports the youth and adult recreation needs in the Edina Community. This Organization, with the support of the Edina Community Foundation, works to secure donations to fund new developments and improvements to Edina's public athletic facilities. In cooperation with the Edina Athletic Associations and Clubs, School District, City of Edina and the community, we strive to provide premier recreation, training, and game facilities for the Community. The Edina Athletic Facilities Foundation views this proposed Pamela Park project as a high priority. This multi - purpose athletic field would be used for soccer, football, rugby, ultimate Frisbee and softball. Before asking for private donations, the committee would like assurance that it is feasible to develop at the proposed location and secondly if the concept has the approval of Park Board and City Council. To determine if this multi- purpose athletic field is feasible for the proposed location, I have hired the services of Anderson/Johnson and Associates to ensure that there are no wetland and floodplain issues that cannot be resolved; determine the exact size and` location of the proposed field; determine the amount of additional parking needed for the site and its location; and estimate total project costs. Preliminary conclusions suggest that the project is physically feasible for the site. The final analysis will take another two months to complete. Assuming that the project is physically feasible, staff and Park Board need direction from the City Council as to how to handle the public process for this matter. It is staff's recommendation that staff mail public input meeting notices and public hearing notices to households that are within 1,000 feet of the park parcel where the field is proposed. This would equate to just over 500 households. Following Park Board review, a recommendation would be sent to the Council for your consideration.

APPROVAL OF THE AUGUST 14, 2007 PARK BOARD MINUTES George Klus MOVED TO APPROVE THE AUGUST 14, 2007 PARK BOARD MINUTES. Karla Sitek SECONDED THE MOTION. MINUTES APPROVED. II. NEW BUSINESS A. Morninaside Neighborhood Association Fee Waiver Request — Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that they do value and support the neighborhood associations. However, from staff's standpoint this is not a financial issue but if they open the flood gates it could become a financial issue. Ms. Finsness clarified that the current policy states that formally organized Edina neighborhood associations are offered park shelter buildings free of charge to host their formal board meetings. Jennifer Janovy, Edina Resident and on the Steering Committee for the Morningside Neighborhood Association, informed the Park Board that they are again requesting that the fee be waived for their annual meeting as well as up to two special events per year. Ms. Janovy explained that one of the things that prompted them to come back with their request again this year is because of some of the information that has come out of the Comprehensive Plan process. She noted that it states residents want to have more neighborhood connections and social activities as well as developing a stronger sense of community. She pointed out that the Park and Recreation.Department's new Vision Statement in the Comprehensive Plan states "Creating Community through People, Parks and Programs ". Therefore, with that in mind, they have decided to re- approach and ask that the fee be waived again for their annual meeting and up to two special events per year. Mr. Fronek asked how much revenue is generated from the shelters per year to which Mr. Keprios replied that for the last three years they have had 165 rentals which has generated $10,725.00. Mr. Fronek stated that because it is a smaller amount of revenue that if they were to decide to open it up to more than one meeting per year he would be in favor of waiving the fees altogether for the park shelters. He noted that otherwise, he would be in favor of just one meeting per year for the neighborhood associations because there would be too many gray areas to try to figure out. Mr. Fronek pointed out that they could also defer these situations to Mr. Keprios to handle as he sees fit. Mr. Klus stated that he thinks they need to stay consistent with their current Policy. Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that there is a general park user fee which is a fee for general park areas and that fee is $45.00 an hour or $130.00 for the day. He noted that he has never charged neighborhood groups that fee as long as they continue to keep their special events open and available to the general public. Mr. Keprios explained when they have a private rental where no else can use it then he is forced to charge that fee. He also pointed out the $65.00 for a half day at the shelter buildings is already at a subsidized rate. Mr. Meyer asked how the rental expenses are calculated to which Mr. Keprios replied that the amount came from the Superintendent of Park Maintenance Vince Cockriel and those expenses are based un weekend rentals. He explained that staff do need to come in and clean, set -up, etc. and added that even if they are only there for ten minutes they still get paid time and a half for a minimum number of hours in accordance with the Union contract. Mr. Keprios stated that in addition there also has to be a follow -up clean up. Mr. Keprios pointed out that the rental rates are an approximate amount and that someone could probably argue it's substantially less for events that fall on weekdays. Mr. Meyer stated that he lives in Morningside and does have a conflict because he is married to Jennifer Janovy. He noted that as far as he is aware a person checks out a key card from City Hall, sets it up themselves and cleans up afterwards. There is no City staff involved. Mr. Keprios replied that for their board meetings that is pretty much correct, however, staff will make sure it's clean for the next event. However, for the larger special events it does require staff to come in and clean before and after the event which incurs additional expenses. Mr. Merriam asked if they charge a damage deposit to which Mr. Keprios replied no. Mr. Merriam noted that that his experience is they are on a very slippery slope because of the precedent they are setting. He stated it's a tough issue because they want to encourage the community to have their meetings and activities but then the other question is does it cost more money to administer the fees than it is to just waive them. Mr. Keprios replied that for the larger events the answer is clearly no. However, when it gets to really small things and if they start to collect damage deposits there is another administrative cost involved. He noted that in his 30 years there have been very few cases where they've had to address a rental where they caused damage and they've always made good on it. Mr. O'Connell stated that his own conclusion is that in a special situation, such as a one -time event he supports it. However, he doesn't support an on -going establishment of further meetings put in place and setting a new precedent. He supports staff s recommendation. 2 t Ms. Nelson stated that they need to look at the bigger goal and decide is it to gain revenue or is it to just get use out of the parks. She commented that she feels that if by people using the parks is going to draw communities together then maybe it's more important to let them use the shelter buildings for their social activities. For purpose of discussion Ms. Presthus "MOVED THAT THE PARK BOARD ALLOW A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION THAT IS INCORPORATED AND HAS AN ACTUAL STRUCTURE THE USE FOR THEIR BOARD MEETING AND UP TO TWO SOCIAL EVENTS A YEAR". Randy Meyer SECONDED THE MOTION. Mr. Klus stated that because Jennifer Janovy is Mr. Meyer's wife he does not think he should vote on this issue and is not so sure that he should have even seconded the motion. Therefore, he thinks Mr. Meyer should abstain from the vote. Mr. Klus indicated that he doesn't see this as a revenue issue but rather as' setting a precedent in this community that they really don't need. He stated that the fee is such a nominal amount that it really shouldn't stop anyone from being able to use the parks. Mr. Meyer pointed out that the motion is very specific in that the neighborhood associations need to be incorporated. Secondly, he asked is the Park Board trying to approve a policy or are they voting to approve a recommendation to be brought forward to the City Council. Mr. Meyer asked isn't that the purpose of the Park Board to recommend things to the City Council to which Mr. Keprios replied that is correct. Ms. Presthus clarified that even if the Park Board did approve this it could be struck down at the City Council. Mr. Sorem stated that he would support not changing anything and stay with the current policy. All those in Favor: Linda Presthus Opposed: Karla Sitek, Howard Merriam, George Klus, Andy Finsness, Mike Damman, Carolyn Nelson, Jeff Sorem, Todd Fronek, Ray O'Connell Abstained: Randy Meyer MOTION FAILED. III. OLD BUSINESS A. Bike Edina Task Force Update — Todd Fronek — Mr. Fronek handed out a draft of the bike route system. He indicated that their portion of the Bike Plan is moving along and they are on schedule. 3 Mr. Merriam asked if the Bike Edina Task Force has had any discussions with the CP Rail Line. Mr. Fronek replied his understanding is there are a lot of legal matters and issues that will need to be resolved before it will ever become a reality. At this time it is just a plan at where they eventually would like to have a bike route. Mr. Damman asked Mr. Fronek if he knows anything about Three Rivers District wanting to put a bridge across Highway 62 (Crosstown). Mr. Fronek replied that he has heard some rumblings but he has not seen any hard plans. Mr. Keprios noted that the request is coming from the City to Three Rivers District as part of the East/West corridor. He pointed out that they really want to separate the pedestrians from the traffic and they feel this would be a much safer and more heavily used alignment than forcing pedestrians and bicycles onto the Gleason Road bridge. Mr. O'Connell stated that one of the interesting things you are seeing now is more and more people are riding bicycles and they are people of all ages. He commented that one complaint that he has heard is where are the bicycle racks? He indicated that this is something that will have to be dealt with. Mr. Fronek replied that's a good point and he has heard that from different people saying that there are not enough places to lock up your bike. B. City Council Joint Park Board Meeting — Mr. Finsness reminded the Park Board about a joint meeting with the City Council on Tuesday, October 2 °d at 5:00 pm in the Community Room. IV. UPDATES FROM STAFF A. Braemar Park Picnic Shelter - Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that the new Braemar Park picnic shelter is coming along beautifully. B. Chowen Park -Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that they just opened bids for the Chowen Park picnic shelter. He noted that they had four good bids to which the lowest one came in at $35,600. He indicated that they had budgeted $50,000 in the capital improvement plan for the project. V. PARK BOARD COMMENT A. Lewis and Van Valkenburg Parks - Mr. Sorem noted that he would like to state that he has watched a few football games this year and indicated that the fields are in phenomenal shape, so kudos to the staff for both Lewis and Van Valkenburg Parks.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES: August 14, 2007 Member Benson moved approval of the Minutes from the August 14, 2007 meeting. Member Fukuda seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. II. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS: 1. H -07 -9 4626 Bruce Avenue New Detached Garage Planner Repya explained that the subject property is located on the west side of the 4600 block of Bruce Avenue. The existing home is a 1937 American Colonial Revival. A 2 stall flat roofed garage is attached to the rear of the house accessed by a driveway running along the south property line. The subject lot is 50'x 131' in area, or a total of 6,556 square feet. The maximum lot coverage allowed by the foot print of all structures is 30% or 1,966.8 square feet. The subject request involves converting the existing 2 stall attached garage to a potential mud room leading into the kitchen. The new room will be reduced in size from 455 square feet to 245 square feet in area to ensure that the lot coverage on the property is not detrimentally affected by the introduction of the new garage. Ms. Repya pointed out that the new detached garage proposed for the southwest corner of the rear yard measures 22' x 24', or 528 square feet in area, and is set 4 feet from the side and rear lot line. The garage has been designed to compliment the American Colonial architectural style of the home, with shingles, Minutes — September 11, 2007 Edina Heritage Preservation Board siding, soffit, fascia and trim detail to match. The north and south elevations display an attention to detail with a window /planter box and service door on the north elevation and a double hung window in the gable on the south elevation. The west/rear elevation has a gabled dormer with a double hung window to provide additional storage in the rafter area. The east/front elevation has a double overhead door with lite windows across the top. The height of the proposed garage is shown to be 16.75 feet at the highest peak, 13 feet at the mid -point of the gable, and 8.7 feet at the eave line. The proposed roof pitch is 7/12, with a ridge length of 22.5 feet. The lot coverage for the property with the proposed garage will be 1,961.7 square feet in area or 29.9 %. Ms. Repya observed that the applicant provided photographs and the heights of adjacent structures. The home to the north (4624 Bruce Ave.) has an attached, single stall- tandem garage set 5 feet from the shared property line. The property to the south (4628 Bruce Ave.) has a detached, 2 car garage, approximately 15.5 feet in height that is set 25.5 feet from the north property line, abutting the driveway shared by the two homes. Of the three homes to the rear on Casco Avenue, 4627, directly behind the subject home has a 2 stall attached garage with living space above; 4625 Casco Ave. has a 15 foot high 2 stall garage; and 4629 has a detached, 16 foot high, 320 square foot garage. Ms. Repya added that the plans under consideration had been revised somewhat from those originally submitted. Mr. Fenske met with the abutting neighbors, and in an attempt to address some of their comments, the height at the peak was lowered 2 feet to the 16.75 feet height proposed, and the pitch was lowered from 8112 to 7/12. Although not required for Certificate of Appropriateness review, the applicant also provided a plan to change the front fagade of the home showing removal of a 2nd story peak above the front door (not original to the home), and adding three gables at the eave line above each 2nd story window. A small covered porch with posts at the front entrance is also proposed. Planner Repya concluded that the plans for the new detached garage demonstrate that the design and exterior materials will compliment the existing home and meet the setback and height requirements set out in the Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, the proposed garage also addresses the homeowner's needs for parking and additional storage, while at the same time takes into consideration the impact the building will have on neighboring properties. Staff also found that the information provided supporting the subject Certificate of Appropriateness met the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Country Club Plan of Treatment. Approval of the request to build a new detached garage was recommended subject to the plans presented. 2 Minutes — September 11, 2007 Edina Heritage Preservation Board Board Member Comments: - Members Scherer and Benson thanked Mr. Fenske for providing the drawing of the changed front fagade of the home agreeing that changes will add to the historic integrity of the home. Consultant Vogel concurred adding that the changes are more suited to the colonial architectural style and will give the house a nice rhythm. - Member Rofidal questioned the purpose for the gabled dormer on the rear elevation. He also asked what the southerly neighbor (4628 Bruce Ave.) who is most impacted by the new garage thought of the plan, and if the loss of the ash tree was a problem. - Member Blemaster stated that she liked the plan very much - it was obvious that the applicant did his homework, and the changes will add value to the home. Ms. Blemaster questioned the type of cedar that will be used for the siding, with a caution that if "clear" cedar which is knot -free is not used, woodpeckers and insects could become a problem in the future. - All Board members commended Mr. Fenske for sharing his plans with the neighbors and addressing their concerns prior to bringing them before the HPB Homeowner Comments: Brett Fenske explained that he has owned his home since 2005 and was attracted to the neighborhood because of the historic architecture of the homes. The existing attached garage leaks and is structurally unsound requiring it to be totally replaced. The decision was made to replace the attached garage with a new detached garage to open the rear of the home to the back yard and provide more outdoor living space for his family. Mr. Fenske pointed out that he has observed some controversial building projects close to his home and realizes that the neighbors have a keen interest in how changes impact the neighborhood. That being the case, he chose to share his plans with his neighbors. As a result of the meeting, the height of the garage was reduced by two feet and the pitch of the roof changed from an 8/12 to a 7/12. Regarding the dormer proposed on the rear elevation, Mr. Fenske explained that the purpose is two -fold, to break up the wall area on that elevation, and also provide for some additional storage. Addressing Member Rofidal's question regarding the southerly neighbor at 4628 Bruce Ave., Mr. Fenske explained that he did share the plans with his neighbor and they are fine with them. Also, the ash tree that is in the place of the proposed garage will be removed and the southerly neighbor has stated that he 3 Minutes — September 11, 2007 Edina Heritage Preservation Board does not have a problem with the removal because the tree leans toward his property and isn't in the best of shape. Decision: Board members agreed that the design of the new garage was very fitting for the property and would be an enhancement. Member Benson appreciated Mr. Fenske's sensitivity to the desires of his neighbors in the planning process, and moved approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness to build a new detached garage in the southwest corner of the rear yard subject to the plans presented. Member Scherer seconded the motion. All voted aye. The motion carried. COUNTRY CLUB DISTRICT - Survev Progress Resort — Auaust: Consultant Vogel explained that work continued on updating the inventory of heritage resources in the Country Club District to include a review of the findings from the 1980 National Register survey to correct mistakes and inaccuracies. At the same time, information on the current condition of individual homes was also collected the integrated with the information already on file. A good deal of effort was devoted to the reclassification and re- evaluation of individual homes. Our goal is to classify each property as either contributing or non - contributing. To be considered a contributing heritage resource, a house must add to the district's historic character by being associated with the district's primary historical theme (planned residential development by Thorpe Bros.) and embodying the distinctive characteristics of the period revival or "eclectic" styles of domestic architecture (Colonial Revival, Tudor, French Eclectic, Italian Renaissance, Mission, etc.). For planning purposes, we have decided to count as contributing resources all homes constructed prior to 1945 (the date Thorpe Bros. lifted its architectural controls on new construction), unless their principal facades have been radically altered. Mr. Vogel observed that homes constructed after 1944 are being re- evaluated on a case - by -case basis. Mere age is not enough, in and of itself, for a house to qualify as contributing —it must also possess the distinctive physical characteristics that constitute one of the period revival architectural styles historically associated with the Country Club District. What we see in the district is a shift in architectural styles that began in the 1930s, when a number of smaller, more austere homes were built in Country Club — presumably, these "Minimal Traditional" style homes passed muster with the developer's architectural review committee, even though they would not qualify as authentic specimens of period revival architecture. Minimal Traditional style homes built between the late 1930s and the late 1950s represent a compromise between the traditional period revival styles and modern suburban house forms such as the Ranch or "rambler." Overall, these houses reflect the changing standards and tastes of Country Club residents during the 1930s -1950s period. Unless their facade - integrity has been compromised by alterations, we are classifying Minimal Traditional style homes from the 1940s -1950s as contributing heritage resources because they reflect the broad theme of postwar suburban development in Edina and are architecturally derivative from the 4 Minutes — September 11, 2007 Edina Heritage Preservation Board period revival styles of the 1920s -1930s (the relevant historic context study unit is "The Suburban Landscape, 1887 to 1974 "). Research continued to address design review issues, particularly with respect to the size and proportions of new houses and detached garages, the effects of large additions on the integrity of historic homes, driveway width, and landscaping. We are also conducting a comprehensive review of the historic preservation planning literature to find a better working definition of the terms "new construction" and "demolition." Mr. Vogel explained that he would like to recommend the Board's consideration a modification of the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) process. The change would involve adopting a standard format for documenting its COA decisions. At a minimum, this documentation should include a clear statement of the criteria used in granting or denying the COA, reference to the applicable standards for rehabilitation and plan of treatment guideline, and a simple check -list of the kinds of information provided by the applicant (plans, drawings, elevations, photos). This information would supplement, but not replace, the planning report and COA document that is attached to the building permit. Board members discussed the determination of whether a home in the district is classified as "contributing" or "noncontributing ". Mr. Vogel pointed out that he would recommend setting the date for noncontributing homes as those constructed after 1974. Mr. Vogel's proposal to add a section to the COA staff reports identifying the criteria used for granting decisions was favorably received by the Board. It was suggested that a checklist or bullets could be used to identify the rationale for decisions. Planner Repya stated that a similar change has been implemented for variance staff reports, and it has been well received. Member Fukuda asked if another tour of the Country Club neighborhood is proposed for this fall. Consultant Vogel stated that at the October meeting a tour date will set when the Board can focus on streetscapes, driveways, and anything else of interest to the Board. Following a brief discussion, the Board thanked Mr. Vogel for his report. No formal action was taken. IV. HISTORICAL PROJECT FUNDING TEA -21: Consultant Vogel explained that the City's Engineering Department is working with the consulting firm of SEH, and one of their projects involves coordinating inquiries to MnDOT's State Aid office regarding a grant application for TEA -21 (Transportation Efficiency Act) funds which could potentially be used for transportation related expenditures in the Country Club District, and elsewhere in the community. 5 Minutes — September 11, 2007 Edina Heritage Preservation Board SEH has stated that because a sewer, water and street rehabilitation project is on the horizon for the Country Club neighborhood, the potential to utilize grant monies to fund street lights and other elements affecting pedestrian safety or boulevard treatments might qualify for funding. At this time, SEH would like the HPB to consider transportation related enhancements which might qualify for funding through the TEA -21 program. Mr. Vogel pointed out that at this time, the Board is asked to brainstorm about potential uses for the funds. He added that it is important to keep in mind that the Minnesota Historical Society will determine what will be eligible for funding. Mr. Vogel provided the Board with a brief history of how TEA -21 funds have been historically spent. Board members agreed that until they know MNSHPO's criteria for eligibility, it is difficult to be too specific. The Board then determined that the following elements would have a positive impact on the neighborhood and be well worth considering: • Ehancements to the traffic triangles (pork chops) • Street signs • Pedestrian walk ways and • Street lighting Following a brief discussion, Consultant Vogel thanked the Board for their input. No formal action was taken. V. NATIONAL TRUST FIELD TRIP: October 4, 2007 Consultant Vogel reviewed the itinerary for the upcoming National Trust tour with the Board. He pointed out that if members of the Board would like to participate they could join in at ariy of the stops. He added that it would be nice for some Board members to attend the lunch at Arneson Acres, pointing out that local mingling with the conference attendees is always a good idea. Planner Repya offered to email the itinerary to the Board, and requested that if planning on attending the luncheon to let her know so she could have a head count. IV. CONCERN OF RESIDENTS: None VI. OTHER BUSINESS: Member Benson reminded the Board that at the last meeting she reported that there is a home on Sunnyside Road that backs up to the vacated streetcar line and has an old stone structure in the rear yard - apparently once used as a wait station for the old streetcar. Since then, she has sent an email to the owner of 9 Minutes — September 11, 2007 Edina Heritage Preservation Board the property introducing herself and asking if she could take some photographs of the structure. To date she had not heard back, however she promised to keep the Board advised if and when she does hear something. VII. CORRESPONDENCE: None VIII. NEXT MEETING DATE: October 9, 2007 IX.

The Metropolitan Council is the regional planning organization for the seven - county Twin Cities area. The Council advocates Smart Growth for vital communities and a competitive region. It runs the regional bus system, collects and treats wastewater, manages regional water resources, plans regional parks and administers funds that provide housing opportunities for low- and moderate - income individuals and families. The Council is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Minnesota Governor. The graphic preparation and printing of this publication cost $162.00 for a total of 300 copies.

As one of the actions it will take to support such housing opportunities, the Blueprint says the Council will "give priority for regional infrastructure investments or expenditures of public dollars to communities that have implemented plans to provide their share of the region's low - and moderate - income and life -cycle housing opportunities." The following criteria and their relative weight will be used to annually determine a score — 0 to 100 points — and rank for cities and counties in the region to be used in the evaluation and prioritization of applications for funding by the Council. County scores will be used in the evaluation of county applications for funding; city scores will be used for city applications. Joint applications for discretionary funding will be weighted pursuant to the applicable combination of counties, cities, or both counties and cities. Examples of current funding decisions that will be affected include but not be limited to those for community development — the LCA Fund and Smart Growth initiatives, transportation — TEA -21, the environment — MetroEnvironment Partnership grants, and other investments and programs such as those for parks and open space. The amount of emphasis or weight given to the housing performance score or rank in the evaluation of applications for various funding programs will be at the discretion of the Metropolitan Council at the time it solicits applications for any of these discretionary funding activities. Any changes to the performance criteria themselves will be made only after the Council follows its adopted policy and practices for changing policy documents. 3 COUNTIES., Use of resources, authority, programs and initiatives for affordable workforce and life - cycle housing 1.

R DAILEY COMPANIES 1471 - 91 st Avenue NE • Blaine, MN 55449 • (763) 784 -3910 October 2, 2007 The Honorable James Hovland, Mayor, City of Edina 4801 W 50th Street. Edina, MN 55424 cc. Roger Knutson City Attorney, Edina Minnesota In March of this year a resident of Edina acquired the property at 5308 Oaklawn Avenue, in Edina. The existing house had sat vacant, for several years; and-was-mold and rodent infested. The building was inspected for potential renovation and found to be deficient, with limitations related to structural, and livability issues. The Owner decided that it was not feasible to renovate the structure; he then made the decision to build a new home on the site. Dailey Homes, Inc. ( "Daileys ") was hired by the Owner to remove the existing structure, design and build the new home. Daileys has worked with this client on the design and construction of two other Edina homes and two additional residences that closely border the City of Edina. Daileys worked with Chris Zaulker of the City Planners office and Steve Kirchman the City Building Official to make certain-that all requirements-have been. meet and we were issued a building permit on September 27th of this year. Daileys provided residents on the 5300 block of Oaklawn Avenue as well the adjacent odd - numbered side of Kellogg Avenue with an introductory letter dated September 13, 2007 along with design plans and elevation of the proposed home- (see attached copy). As a courtesy, we meet with three neighborhood representatives Tom Lund, Ned Blankenship, and John Green at his home on Oaklawn Avenue. The meeting addressed the overall appearance and exterior finishes being proposed and the size of the building. Our design effort had taken into account a number of these concerns, and though we were unable to replicate a 1 -'/2 story Cape Cod we have done what we could to minimize the impact on the existing homes and - still provide -an economically viable home. We also discussed additional information regarding our design and construction procedures along with our attempts to reconcile the project with the realities of the market. • DAILEY CONSTRUCTION • DAILEY HOMES • DAILEY REALTY - Page 2 of 2 On September 30'' Daileys received an E -mail from Steve Timmers of 5348 Oaklawn that we attaching here with for your review. (see enclosed letter.) It is the tone of Mr. Timmers correspondence that has prompted our letter to you. In it he is suggesting actions that we find troubling, if not actionable. We are submitting copies to your office in an effort to provide a record of the events as they have unfolded, in an effort to protect our staff, our subcontractors, and potential clients from any additional real or perceived harassment and discrimination. As I have mentioned, we have satisfied all current City requirements and have been issued all required City'permits, including utility disconnects and demolition. Some of this work has all ready been completed. We are asking for your comments and recommendations as this is a very serious matter. The Owner is very concerned with any potential Buyers being harassed and discriminated. This could also affect any future investment in the community by the Owner and others. It is our objective to build a home that will add value to the community and surrounding homes. If you were to view the homes that we have already built in the area, we feel you will see that we have met that objective. Thank you, Paul Peloquin Project Manager DAILEY COMPANIES Dailey Construction * Dailey Homes * Dailey Excavation * Dailey Realty Page 1 of Paul Peloquin From: Steve Timmer [slimmer @planetlawyers.com] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2007 3:54 PM To: info@daileycompanies.net Subject: Attention: Paul Peloquin Dear Sir, I live at 5348 Oaklawn Avenue, just up the street from the house your company recently demolished. I also received copy of the letter that you addressed to "Dear Neighbor" enclosing copies of some of the drawings for outsized neighborhood burden that you plan to construct. You will perhaps understand that everything that follows uDear Neighbor gives the lie to the salutation. The proposed house is most certainly not neighborly, neither to the immedial neighbors, or indeed the whole block. i am frankly insulted by the familiarity and the misrepresentation. I know that some of my real neighbors have talked and met with you, or perhaps others at the Dailey Companies, in a effort to see that something more consonant with the neighborhood would be built, but to no avail. This is certainly regrettable. Some of the homeowners on the block, including me, met today to discuss the situation and to actually video record some interviews with our thoughts. I want to share mine with you. You say in your letter that your plans are in full compliance with local zoning ordinances. I have not personally investigated to determine whether or not that is true. Even if it is, it is also true that a lot of people in Edina and in this -�ighborhood— people who actually live here, some like me for over a score of years —have been trying for some time i ,aunt the effect that speculators are having on historic neighborhoods in town. We feel that our investment in the neighborhood, financially and in community involvement, dwarfs yours. And we are not without remedy. I am generally pleased with the leadership and management of our City, but the "massing" issue is one where I believ that the City has failed its residents. Since that is true, we will have to fall back on a more "market-based" approach. I have advocated making it clear to any potential purchasers that they will be ostracized and shunned if they buy the house you intend to build. No neighborly waves; no invitation to neighborhood parties, including the annual block part you get the idea. My neighbors seem to be in agreement. We have already ordered the first round of signs that will dot the block on bot sides of the street. I expect also to get some publicity for this initiative, both to gather support for it as well as encourage other residents in other neighborhoods to do the.same thing. and to bring additional pressure on the City to make ordinance changes. Minneapolis has, I believe, made some ordinance change efforts to deal with the massing issue quite recently. There is no reason why Edina should not also. I hope even at this late date that you might return to discussions with the neighbors. If you don't, I predict that 5308 Oaklawn will be as big a millstone around your neck as it is for those of us that live here. Sincerely, Steve Timmer 10/2/2007 DAILEY COMPANIES 1471 - 91 st Avenue NE • Blaine, MN 55449 • (763) 784 -3910 September 13, 2007 RE: New Construction at 5308 Oaklawn Avenue Dear Neighbor, As you are no doubt aware, we are about to begin construction for a new home at 5308 Oaklawn Ave. We know that one of the least desirable effects of doing new construction in an established area is the inconvenience caused to our neighbors. We would like to apologize in advance, and hope that we can minimize the disruption. One way to do this is to keep the project moving forward in a timely fashion, thus minimizing the noise and.traffic. As we work with a variety of trades throughout the project, it is sometimes difficult to have everyone on the same page with respect to neighborhood concerns. Be assured that we will do our best to keep the project running smoothly and to keep the site clean and secure. We will be providing a temporary chain link enclosure to help secure the site, especially for the young and curious onlookers. We realize that there is some concern in the neighborhood with regard to the size and exterior design of the home. We have designed the home to conform to all city regulations with respect to height, size and setbacks. All setbacks meet and generally exceed city standards, and more than 70% of the lot space will remain with no vertical structure. Demolition of the existing structure required the removal of one tree at the front yard. We plan to make every effort to protect the two large trees remaining during construction. After much debate and consideration, we chose a front loaded garage in order to preserve as much back yard green -space as possible and minimize front to back wall lengths and overall massing of the home. The exterior siding will be a combination of natural cedar shakes and "James Hardie" Cedar Mill Clapboard. The home features natural stone accents and a mortar set flagstone porch. • DAILEY CONSTRUCTION • DAILEY HOMES • DAILEY REALTY - September 13, 2007 Page 2 of 2 We have found that height is one of the most significant challenges in scaling a new home to an older neighborhood and this home is no exception. The home will have two full stories, as compared with the "story-and -a half' residences, typical of the neighborhood. Adding to that, the 9' ceilings on the first floor, a modern floor truss system, energy space requirements and the desired pitch of the roof, the highest roof ridge will likely be higher than any adjacent home by about 5 -7 feet. In order to minimize the visual impact of this height we have chosen a hip roof for our main roof structure with front facing gables at the street. In addition, the main portion of the house will be set back about 12' from the current front with the ridge line sitting farther back on the lot than the adjacent elevations, thus further minimizing the visual impact. The height of the fascia at the front overhangs should be about that of a partial 2 -story, just slightly higher than neighboring homes. We have attached copies of the elevation and floor plans of the home for your information. If a problem with the site, or any of the trades, should come up please contact us at (763) 784 -3910. Your consideration and patience is greatly appreciated. Respectfully Yours, Paul Peloquin Dailey Homes Inc.

Sandy followed all the right protocol. You could have easily made an exception due to the circumstances. Even after Joanie made a clear case on why the video should be allowed, the rest of you stood either silent, or replied with feeble remarks. We know that all of the council members either saw, or were told what the video contained prior to the meeting. You knew it contained a few pointed remarks toward the Council.

I think the vote by the other council members to not see the video was a mistake. Why? - The "no" vote further divides the two sides on the issue. I'd guess that many who showed up to see the video were open to working with the city to resolve matters. I don't think that is the case any longer. Voting "no" was lir =e pouring gasoline on the fire. - My impression of t -ie proceedings is the city council's procedures and attitude do not promote citizen participation -- they're not citizen friendly. Sandy Carlson made a good faith attempt to comply with the council's protocol, was led to believe she could show her video, and then was shut out.

I applaud the Task Force's designation of a op rtion of the proposed CAC as a Mixed Use Center ( "MXC "). Further, I support Michael Fischer's suggested further revision that effectively removes all of the area south of 70th from the originally proposed CAC. As you may recall, Mr. Fischer presented a revised map of the Future Land Use Plan for the Southeast Quadrant portraying his recommendation. Mr. Fischer noted that he saw no rationale for continuing to designate the southernmost section as part of the CAC. He proposed that this section also be designated as MXC. As to the height permitted in the various proposed land use categories, including MXC, I am deeply troubled by Mr. Cornelo's recommendation that, "We should not have a specific set of heights in the Land Use Plan ". I think Commissioner Staunton had it right early in the meeting when he said, "If we defer heights, what will we have to guide us? ... I don't think we should punt ". Ms Worthington later observed that, "We should try to resolve [heights] now ". She later suggested that, "We want to have closure on height ". Over the last two years, the community has expressed its opposition to unbridled high -rise buildings adjacent to City Parks and low -rise residential areas. This was very clear in the public's objection to the recommendations contained in the Greater Southdale Study. The City Council subsequently did not "accept" the Study; it "received" it. The response to the original Cypress proposal was overwhelmingly negative. At the August 27 Centrum meeting the public clearly rejected the idea of 12 stories on the west side of Centennial Lakes. Now is the time to establish explicit guidelines for height. To exclude such guidelines from the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is disingenuous. It only defers the issue to subsequent years. It could be construed as an attempt to wear down the residents' resistance and as a strategy favoring unrestrained development. October 5, 2007 —2— I have made a careful review of the Centennial Lakes and Promenade residential area, an area housing thousands in low -rise condominiums, townhomes and apartments. • The condominiums and townhomes on the east side of Centennial Lakes are two stories. Heights permitted on the west side should be limited to 2 stories or 25 feet, whichever is less. • The condominiums and apartments on the east side of the Promenade are 4- stories. Heights on the west side should be limited to 4 stories or 50 feet, whichever is less. When do you plan to make broadly visible to the public your proposed treatment of height in the Land Use Plan? It is my fervent hope that the draft that you present to the October 23 7:00 am workshop of the Planning Commission with the City Council contains explicit guidelines for height. Sincerely, John E.

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE A COPY OF THIS MESSAGE TO THE PERSONS INDICATED BELOW. THANKS! To: Mayor Hovland and members of the City Council cc. Planning Commission and Staff, City Engineer Fi Steve Timmer 5348 Oaklawn Avenue Ladies and Gentlemen, You may wish to get a fresh cup of coffee; if you read this through to the end, it will probably take a while. First of all, I wish to register my keen disappointment that the four minute video prepared by a friend of the Carlson's was not shown. This video was in large part about the property at 5308 Oaklawn Avenue, next door to Jay and Sandy Carlson, although some more general remarks were made, too. And frankly, the concern expressed about discrimination against what I might call the "pro- massing" forces seems to me a slender reed upon which to lean. You will appreciate that the neighborhood, and Jay and Sandy especially, consider this an issue of some urgency because of the new yawning chasm next to the Carlson's house that will soon be filled with one more house with a gland problem. The video is up on YouTube; I think it's going to be a hit all around town. Here's the link. I urge you to watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbCBOPS4mlA One of the things that I would have mentioned at the meeting, given the opportunity, was a section in the 1998 city comprehensive plan that deals with light: 1998 Comprehensive plan, section 2.1 One of the most direct contributions the city can make in the transition to renewable energy sources is to protect the access that individual residents, businesses and industry have to renewable sources of energy - most notably solar power. Active solar rooftop collectors and passive solar technologies require maximum exposure to sunlight, which can be reduced by the proximity of tall structures or trees. To help ensure that sufficient exposure is available for all homeowners and businesses, the city already has ordinances for building setbacks, building height restrictions, and maximum lot coverage. It will also consider access to active and passive solar energy collection systems when reviewing 10/3/2007 variance requests or new construction. One passive solar technology is a south - facing window with the drapes open on a sunny winter day. Unless, of course, the window sits in the shadow of the barn next door. A house with an unrelieved two story wall that is fifty or sixty feet long, within feet of a lot line will also interfere with the cross - ventilation of its neighbor, increasing the need for air conditioning. All in all, this is not very environmentally friendly, not to mention un- neighborly. These issues have been known and mentioned in planning documents now for nearly ten years, and you will appreciate that many residents think the follow through has been, well, you choose the adjective. Cary Teague's remark that Edina was more strict with respect to massing than Minneapolis is either ill- informed or disingenuous, or perhaps both. He went on to say that "oh, well, Minneapolis does have a floor area ratio limitation," as though that is insignificant. FARs are the core of any genuine attempt to limit massing. Remarks were made by council members about letting the "market work." If we follow that to its logical extension, I should be permitted to level my house —which is on a convenient corner lot —and construct a new Sunoco. Zoning ordinances are by their very nature anti - market. They serve to restrain or guide the land use decisions of individual land owners in a way that maximizes the value and utility of property for everyone. The "market" is often a damn fool in the land use planning department. It is —I have to say it— foolish to think that a builder from Blaine is going to give a hoot about his effect on the community or that the "market" will make him wise and benevolent. I think it is fair to expect more of the city's leaders. It pains me to write that the city's efforts on the massing issue have been to date half- hearted, tepid, and ineffective. To hear Councilors Housh and Masica say, "well, let's look at it again in a couple of years" bespeaks a regrettable indifference to neighborhood needs and the damage that developers have caused and are causing NOW: To take one small example: the height restriction computation discussed tonight. Choosing the median instead of the top for a roof height restriction makes it possible to build a laughably tall roof if it just pitched right. And saying that building height really only matters from a street -scape perspective ignores the next -door neighbor and the light and air issue I mentioned above. There were a number of people at the meeting tonight who don't live on our block. Sorry to say, I think that the failure to we harder on this issue may result in some "middle -class vigilantism." I've already been thinking of a sign campaign to help the "market" sort itself out at 5308 Oaklawn. Here are some of my ideas. Maybe some "Burma Shave" kind of signs as you drive down Oaklawn towards the house as it is going up: You don't want The house up yonder, Don't slow down Or even ponder. Or maybe a little edgier: Buy that house And you will be, The neighborhood Ostracizee. Limericks are always nice: If it's a neighborhood you're after, 5308 would be a disaster, It doesn't fit in And will never be kin, And you'll sit in it lonely hereafter. I think it's a campaign that might catch on around town. It seemed to work in Minneapolis. I know that's throwing down the 10/3/2007 t gauntlet, but so be it. I would welcome the chance to be the part of a dialogue on massing that actually went somewhere. ely, Steve Timmer 10/3/2007 Deb Marlgen From: Laura Fulton it: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 1:14 PM ..0: 'jhoviand @krauserollins.com'; 'Housh, Scot'; 'Immasica @aol.com'; 'ANN SWENSON'; 'jonibennett12 @comcast.net' Cc: Gordon Hughes; Deb Mangen; Cary Teague Subject: FW: Massing part II From: Steve Timmer [ mailto :stimmer @planetlawyers.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 12:45 PM To: Laura Fulton Subject: Massing part II CITy�, C,83109v S EAL Please distribute. Thank you. -3 2007 To: Mayor Hovland, members of the City Council, Planning Commission and Staff, and City Manager EC`I��O Ladies and Gentlemen: There was an interesting op ed in the Star Tribune this morning by Richard Moe. Here's a little bit of it: But while visitors may not notice it, something else is happening here, and it's not good. Residents who care about this place have every right to pat themselves on the back for their preservation achievements in recent years -- but they must see that big, important chunks of their heritage are still in danger of being spoiled or.lost altogether. Take the riverfront, for example. The rediscovery and ongoing revitalization of this attractive and history -rich area is one. of the best things that's happened in this city in my lifetime. But now there's a very real possibility that the rebirth of this long- ignored enclave could destroy the very qualities that make it appealing. Almost every week brings an announcement of a splashy new construction project, and too many of them are too big, threaten to block views of the river, consume precious open space, and otherwise overwhelm the scale and character of the area. The riverfront's popularity shouldn't be allowed to strangle it just as it's coming to life. It may be a truism, but it's worth remembering: You can't revitalize a neighborhood by destroying it. That same statement has a special resonance in neighborhoods that are experiencing tear - downs. This practice of demolishing an existing house and replacing it with a bigger one is the most serious threat faced by older neighborhoods since the heyday of Urban Renewal, and it has hit the Twin Cities hard. Recent Star Tribune articles describe a "citizen revolt" in embattled neighborhoods in southwest Minneapolis, Edina and Minnetonka -- and no wonder: Mini - mansions get awkwardly shoehorned into established communities where they just don't fit. As bulky new structures get built right up to the property lines, trees disappear and yards shrink, and neighbors find their sunlight and views blocked. Economic and social diversity are reduced as rising property taxes drive out moderate - income or fixed - income residents and affordable "starter homes" disappear. Historic character gets smashed to rubble and hauled off to the landfill. I wish I could have said it that eloquently. Mr. Moe's commentary was published in advance, of course, of the meeting of the National Trust for Historic Preservation to be held, in part, in Edina next week. As soon as I can get an email address for Mr. Moe —the author of "The Last Full Measure" about the heroic Minnesota First in the Civil War, incidentally —I am going to send h' link to the Carlson video. The Council reiterates its "concern" about the massing issue, but everyone allows that it's "so hard." It puts me in mind of my boys complaining about how hard their homework was. I will urge upon you the same thing I used to tell them: just buckle down and do it. As I said in my earlier letter, efforts so far have been, to be it charitably, half- hearted. 10/3/2007 There was a petition circulated last night at the meeting for a moratorium on redevelopment of South Harriet Park until the Council addresses this issue properly. I think that is entirely proper.

St. Edina, MN 55424 Dear Mr. Hovland, After receiving my Utility Bill for the quarter ending 8/24/07, 1 am writing to express my outrage over the excessive increase in the 2007 Utility rates adopted by the City of Edina. Even though we decreased our water consumption by 16% when compared to the same period in 2006, our water consumption bill increased by 34 %. We use additional water to protect our investment in trees, shrubs and flowers, not to water the grass. It is a proven fact that trees are good for the environment and that shrubs and flowers beautify the city, but it appears that the City doesn't care if trees become diseased and die or that shrubs and flowers make the city livable. In addition, as retired folks, this burden along with all the other increases in living, will force us to sell our home. Maybe I am the only one, but it appears that the City doesn't want to retain its retired citizens in single family residences. Finally, and probably most important, is the fact that commercial and industrial properties receive a more favorable water rate than homeowners even though they are the biggest consumers of water and the biggest drain on our infrastructure. Therefore, commercial and industrial properties should be paying their fair share in repairing and replacing the City's aging infrastructure. In conclusion, I am hopeful that you and the City Council can correct this injustice and change the water consumption rates so that both the homeowners and commercial and industrial properties pay the same water rate whether it is the current commercial rate or the homeowners 3 tiered rate. Thank you for listening to my concerns. Sincerely, John J. Andrychowicz SEAL " ri::v�.'Jr17 Deb Mangen tom: Laura Fulton :nt: Friday, October 12, 2007 10:47 AM fo: 'jhovland @krauserollins.com'; 'Housh, Scot; 'ANN SWENSON'; 'Immasica @aol.com'; 'jonibennettl2 @comcast.net' Cc: Deb Mangen Subject: FW: Mc Monster Houses - - - -- Original Message---- - From: Bob Thompson [mailto:rthompson123Qgmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 10:29 AM To: Laura Fulton Subject: Mc Monster Houses Shame on all of you who are not acting to stop the destruction of neighborhoods and flaunting the rights of existing home owners.

Edina 55424 1 Tara Doyle Bizily, M.D. 4005 Lynn Avenue Edina, MN 55416 Members of City Council City of Edina Edina City Hall 4801 West 5V' Street Edina, MN 55424 October 12, 2007 Dear Council Members, A� 152007 Y 1yFb I am a resident of Edina and I am writing to express my concern about the quality of the water in my home. I am a neighbor of Julie Banker and I appreciate you hearing her concerns at your recent council meeting. I have been experiencing similar problems with my water since September 2005 and have contacted the Utilities Superintendent, Roger Glanzer, City Engineer, Wayne Houle and the Minnesota Department of Health on multiple occasions to express my concerns and work towards resuming the delivery of safe, clean water to my neighborhood. I have attached copies of a timeline of my communications with the city, private water testing results, references regarding health effects of these results and a summary letter I provided to Mr. Glanzer on October 12, 2007. I hope that you will find these attachments helpful in providing background information. At this time, I am concerned about the safety of the water. Upon learning that the city had not tested the water in affected homes, I sent for private testing. The results indicated turbidity and iron levels far exceeding federal guidelines and elevated levels of bacteria and several other inorganic materials. Excess turbidity provides an environment favorable to microbial growth and disease causing organisms. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any studies regarding potential health effects resulting from elevated iron levels in drinking water. However, as a physician, I know that excess iron ingestion can cause nausea, stomach cramping, constipation and bloody diarrhea. In addition, one in two hundred Caucasians carry the genetic disorder hemochromatosis and are unable to remove the excess iron from their bodies. Most people who have this disease are not aware of it and, over time, the iron builds up leading to liver failure, heart failure and diabetes. Therefore, I will not drink or cook with this water until it meets minimum federal guidelines for iron contamination and turbidity. I am writing to ask the City Council for any assistance that you can provide that will facilitate expeditious resumption of the delivery of water that meets the minimum federal guidelines for primary and secondary contaminants to my neighborhood. I would also ask that the City of Edina find a way to deliver safe water for drinking and cooking in the interim. Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, Tara Doyle Bizily, M.D. iI Tara Doyle Bizily, M.D. 4005 Lynn Avenue Edina, MN 55416 Roger Glanzer Utilities Superintendent City of Edina 4801 West 50'' Street Edina, MN 55424 October 12, 2007 Dear Mr. Glanzer, As you know, I have been concerned about water quality and discoloration since moving into my home at 4005 Lynn Avenue two years ago. I know that we have spoken on more than twenty separate occasions and I appreciate that you and your team are working diligently to try to determine the cause of and solution for this problem. During our conversation yesterday, you indicated that you would be willing to share my concerns with other city staff and I am writing to you to provide further details. After noticing the yellow water in our home in September 2005, we contacted the city who flushed the water line and assessed the pipes in our home. The water was sent to the City of Minneapolis for testing and high turbidity was detected. I was told that the problems I was experiencing were due to an old hot water heater. I replaced the water heater at my expense, but unfortunately the quality of the water did not change. The water quality varies over time, however, because I had been unable to get an answer as to what was causing it, I did not want my family drinking this water. For eighteen months, I made weekly trips to my sister's or parent's home to fill jugs of water for drinking. In addition, I purchased bottled water for my family to drink. For periods of days to weeks, I have been unable to do laundry in my home without causing staining to the clothing. Currently, I need to take my clothing and bedding to my sister's home or the dry cleaner for laundering in order to prevent further damage. By December of 2006, I realized that many of my neighbors were experiencing the similar concerns with their water. At that point, I contacted the Minnesota Department of Health who began to work with the City of Edina to identify the source of contamination. I was repeatedly told that the contaminant was iron, that the water was safe to use and that iron removing aids could be used to reverse the staining that was occurring on my clothing and household fixtures. The water has been rapidly worsening since August 17, 2007. Although I was repeatedly told water samples had been taken and tested and that the water was contaminated with iron, on September 26, I requested the value of the exact iron level in the affected area. At this time, I learned that this testing had not been done by the city and I undertook the expense of testing the water myself. I used Underwriter's Laboratories which was recommended by the Minnesota Department of Health. The results of water test previously shared with you were taken from my home on September 27 from the kitchen faucet after 10 minutes of cold flushing. In summary, the results indicate that this water exceeds the federal guidelines for turbidity by more than ten -fold and the federal guidelines for iron by six -fold. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any studies regarding potential health effects resulting from elevated iron levels in water. However, as a physician, I know that iron excess can cause nausea, stomach cramping and bloody diarrhea. In the one in 200 Caucasians who carry the gene for hemochromatosis, the body is unable to remove the excess iron ingested and over time it builds up leading to liver failure, heart failure and diabetes. After speaking with you yesterday, I understand that the pipes bringing water to my neighborhood are the likely cause of contamination and will need to be relined or replaced. I was also told that this process would take a minimum of 9 months. In the interim, I request that the following actions be taken: 1. The City of Edina will provide water that meets minimum federal standards for primary and secondary contaminants to the affected homes for drinking and cooking until the problem is resolved. 2. The City of Edina will notify residents of public works projects that will affect the water quality in their homes prior to undertaking the work in any non - emergent situation. 3. The City of Edina will implement a program to track resident complaints about water quality so that when an area begins to experience a problem such as this in the future, it may be identified and addressed in a more timely fashion. 4. The City of Edina will undertake a study to determine ways to reduce or repair the property damage that is occurring as a result of repeated exposure to contaminated water and share this with affected residents. 5. The City of Edina will reduce or eliminate the water rates on utility bills of affected customers until the water meets federal standards for primary and secondary contaminants. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to continuing to work with you to resolve this serious problem, reduce the risks to the citizens of my neighborhood during the interim, and to one day enjoying safe clean water provided by the City of Edina. Sincerely, Tara Doyle Bizily, M.D. Water Timeline and Health Risks of Turbidity and Iron Water Quality Concerns Timeline- 4005 Lynn Avenue 9/05- Moved into home. Noted yellow water, assumed it was from lack of use. 10105- No improvement in water, contacted City of Edina. Line to home flushed with cider colored water returned from line. Told this should solve problem. 11/05- No improvement, contacted City of Edina. Water samples sent to Minneapolis. Told had high turbidity and that water heater had likely deteriorated. We are told to replace hot water heater. 1/06 Hot water heater replaced. Cost for plumber, equipment, modifications to pipes $1100. Spring 06- No improvement in discoloration noted after replacing hot water heater. I contacted the city and was told I was only one with problem, it was likely iron and water was safe to drink. Noted continued yellow discoloration throughout spring summer of 2006. We continued to use bottled water for drinking. November - December 2006- Water worsened. Now ruining white laundry on regular basis and taking some laundry to relative's homes. 12/6/06- Spoke with Roger, told that valve on 42nd had been left open and likely caused current problem, would flush area and problem should go away. 12/12- Water not improved, told to flush hot water tank. Initially I did this twice, and I have continued to flush hot water tank every few weeks since that time. Get rust colored water with flushing and minimal improvement in hot water quality for a few days, but sediment quickly rebuilds. 12/13/06- contacted Ike Bradlich and MN Dept Health. I was told water likely due to iron leaching from pipe. I was told that iron is not considered health hazard, but that it can cause significant property damage - staining of clothes, sinks, toilets, tubs, dishes, and rusting of pipes, filters, appliances. Spoke with Roger again, told "I've been here 5 years and never had a complaint like this." Stated the city would do some more flushing and that the problem should be gone. Feb -May 07- Continued with yellowed water intermittently. Continued to check in periodically with city/MN Dept health and receive reassurance that water was safe to drink, they just needed to flush more frequently. Offered water samples from my home on multiple occasions, but I was told that neighbors had given samples for testing and water was safe. I was told to increase flushing of water. I did this and our water bill increased by 30% without improvement in water quality. Discussed concerns with Wayne Houle on 4/26 and again assured water was safe and the city was working diligently to find source of problem. 8/17/07 Water color worsens and does not improve. Over past 18 months, I have used bottled water for drinking at cost of approximately $4 weekly or $312. 9/7/07- Installed Reverse Osmosis Filter at cost of $400. 9/7/07 1 spoke again with Roger Glanzer. City working on shut off valves on Grimes, Lynn and Kipling. If the city is unable to improve situation, they will need to evaluate piece of water main. 9/26 Severely discolored, muddy water noted. Called city, told this was-safe. When I stated that I could not cook or use sinks with this water as it was clogging my faucets, I was told that it was not a problem and I should go ahead and use water. I asked the city to provide clean water for cooking that evening and I was told this would not be possible. 9/27- Spoke with Roger- Stated water main will be dug up and tested next week. Asked again about safety and told it was iron contamination and that the water is safe. I asked for specific iron level value. Initially, I was told it was zero coming out of Minneapolis. Asked again what it is in my neighborhood and I was told that it has not been tested. I again offered water sample for testing. I was told city would take own samples when digging up water main. I sent samples to UL Drink Well for private testing of water for $250. 10/4- Water main on 40`b and Lynn is dug up. Neighbor, John Pulscher, states "It looked like a sewer line." When I relay comments to Roger he states "It looked worse than a sewer line." 10 /10- Receive test results from UL Drinkwell. Indicate elevated levels of nitrites, manganese, hardness, alkalinity, sodium and iron related bacteria. Levels of turbidity and iron exceed federal limits by several multiples. 10/11- Spoke with Roger who states the city's tests are still pending. Electronic References for Health Risks related to Turbidity and Iron 1. Environmental Protection Agency www.epa.gov 2. University of Florida http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/AE009 Iron and Manganese The presence of iron and manganese in large quantities is very easy to notice because of the reddish brown stain these minerals cause. The stain shows on laundry, sinks, and every other object touched by water. Iron is transported by water in a ferrous state forming a clear, colorless solution until it comes into contact with oxygen. Oxygen changes iron to the ferric state which reacts with alkalinity in the water and forms an insoluble brown ferric hydroxide precipitate called "yellow boy." Iron and manganese occur naturally in ground water, but some iron can be added to the water from corroded pipes. Iron and manganese in combination with natural or man=made organic compounds will cause even more staining problems. Organic compounds react with iron and manganese to form very stable and difficult to remove darkly colored materials. In addition to staining problems, large amounts of these metals can influence the taste of water and cause the development of iron and manganese bacteria, which are not a health hazard but are very unpleasant. They form masses of gelatinous and filamentous organic matter that traps the iron and manganese they use for growth. A good indication of their presence in the system is a brown slimy growth in the toilet flush tank. Turbidity Solid particles suspended in water absorb or reflect light and.cause the water to appear "cloudy." These particles are undissolved inorganic minerals or organic matter picked up over or under the ground. Since the earth acts as an excellent filter, the water from deep wells is usually clear without significant amounts of turbidity. This problem is more common in the water from surface supplies. The major problem with turbidity is aesthetics, but in some caseg suspended matter can carry pathogens with it. Large amounts of organic matter can also produce stains on sinks, fixtures, and laundry. Much like iron, organic matter in water may also produce colors, unpleasant tastes, and odors. These tastes and odors will affect not only drinking water, but the foods and beverages prepared with the water. 3. University of MN httR://www.extension.unin.edu/info-u/enviromnent/BD302.htrn Iron is one of the most troublesome contaminants of home water supplies. Dissolved iron can discolor water or give it a metallic taste. When combined with .tea, coffee, or alcoholic beverages, a black appearance and a harsh, offensive taste may result. Vegetables cooked in iron -rich water turn dark and look unappetizing. Iron also causes reddish or rust- colored stains on plumbing fixtures, tableware and laundry. Certain types of bacteria may thrive in water with high iron content and give it a rotten egg smell. 4. Health Risks: a. http: / /www.medicinenet.com /script /main/art.asp ?articlekey =18865 Hemochromotosis Iron overload usually is caused by the disease,'hemochromatosis. It is a genetic disease caused by a change (mutation) in a gene that is important in limiting the absorption of iron from the intestine. If an individual is homozygous for a mutated gene, that is, mutated genes are found on both chromosomes that contain the gene, iron absorption from the intestine is abnormally increased. As a result, iron accumulates in organs within the body. Therefore, in this situation, liver, heart, and pancreatic damage from the iron is highly likely, though not invariable. If an individual is heterozygous for a mutated gene, that is, only one of the chromosomes contains a mutated gene and the other chromosome contains a normal gene, there may be an increase in absorption of iron. However, the increase in absorption is less, and there is no clear evidence that organs are damaged. b. http: / /www. water - research .net /manganese.htm #potential The regulations regarding iron and manganese in drinking water were established as secondary standards, which means the limits were set because of nuisance problems and aesthetic concerns. It has come to my attention that a portion of the public may be suitable to Iron Overload or Hemochromatosis. The symptoms of hemochromatosis vary and can include: chronic fatigue, arthritis, heart disease, cirrhosis; cancer, diabetes, thyroid disease, impotence, and sterility. "Hereditary hemochromatosis is only one of several iron loading diseases. But its double gene frequency alone is 1 in 200 of the US population have the single gene expression. It is the most common genetic disease, and tragically the most undiagnosed" (Source: Iron Overload Disease- Fact Sheet- see Link at Bottom of Webpage).

Ph.D. Health Related Contaminants Nitrate Nitrate was detected at 1.1 mg /L which is less than the Federal MCL of 10 mg /L. Turbidity Turbidity was detected at 4.2 NTU which is greater than the Federal MCL of 0.3 NTU. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease - causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause ,symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea and associated headaches. Aesthetic Related Contaminants Total Alkalinity Total Alkalinity was detected at 13 mg /L as CaCO3. There is no Federal Limit for this contaminant. Total Hardness Total Hardness was detected at 81 mg /L as CaCO3. There is no Federal Limit for this contaminant. Iron Iron was detected at 1.8 mg /L which is greater than the Federal SMCL of 0.3 mg /L. Iron is regulated as a secondary contaminant. It is associated with rusty color, sediment, metallic taste and reddish or orange staining. Manganese Manganese was detected at 31 ug /L which is less than the Federal SMCL of 50 ug /L. Sodium Sodium was detected at 20 mg /L. There is no Federal Limit for this contaminant. Sodium levels in drinking water are usually low and unlikely to be a significant contribution to adverse health effects. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science recommends 1,500 mg is an adequate sodium intake for adults between the ages of 19 and 50. The recommendation is decreased to 1,300 mg /day for adults between 50 and 70 years and to 1,200 mg /day for adults over 70. In addition, it is recommended that total dietary intake be limited to no more than 2,300 mg /day. Sodium is not a regulated parameter in drinking water, however the U.E. EPA has recommended 20mg /L as a guideline for those individuals on a very low sodium diet (500 mg /day) and 30 to 60 mg /L as levels where the taste of water may be affected. Iron - Related Bacteria Iron - Related Bacteria was detected at 5000 cfu /ml. There is no Federal Limit for this contaminant. Definitions mg/L 1 mg /L or milligram per liter represents 1 part per million (ppm). An example of a part per million is one cent in $10,000. ug /L 1 ug /L or microgram per liter represents 1 part per billion (ppb). An example of a part per billion is one cent in $10 million.

V October 10, 2007 Julie and Paul Banker 4000 Lynn Avenue Edina MN 55416 Edina City Council C/o Edina City Hall 4801 W 50P St Edina MN 55416 Dear Edina City Council: This letter is in follow up to my appearance before the City Council on October 2, 2007, with regard to the poor quality of water supplied to our household and to our neighbors. As I stated on October 2, we have lived in our home for almost three years. Before we moved in, the house was remodeled with all new pipes, new hot water heater and new appliances. Since moving in, our water has usually been a slightly yellow color, with occasional days or weeks of orange or brown water. I have notified the city and have been told that the lines were just being flushed, the water is safe and no one else is having this problem Since fall 2006, the water quality has steadily worsened. This summer our three small children took orange/brown/yellow baths on a regular basis. After repeated calls to the Public Works Department, the response was to repeatedly flush the lines, resulting in brown or orange sludgy water being released into our homes and appliances over and over. After discussion with neighbors we learned that the problem is not just with our home. Attached are comments from neighbors attesting to this. We also learned that despite being told the water is safe, the city had not tested the water on our street where the problem exists. Therefore, the neighbors on our street paid for and obtained our own test of the water. The results are attached You will note that several numbers exceed the federal limit This is not just an inconvenience and property damage issue, but is also a safety issue, as evidenced in the attached article. A length of pipe was cut from Lynn Avenue on October 4, and a neighbor saw the pipe as it was being lifted out and noted that the inside of the pipe looked like a sanitary sewer line. Utilities Superintendent Roger Glanzer indicated that the City is considering coating the existing pipes. We are concerned whether this is the appropriate remedy given the level of deterioration and buildup in the pipes. We are encouraged that the City is now taking action and we hope that action continues so that we can receive clean water as soon as possible. We would like to know the cause of the problem, the planned fix for the problem and the timeline as to when we can expect this situation to be remedied, so that we as residents can plan our short and long term actions. Thank you for your consideration of this serious matter.

I am writing today because I am very concerned with the water quality in my home. I have noticed a significant change in the color and taste. My tub, grout and file is stained orange, along with my humidifier tanks. My toilets constantly look like they have not been flushed. Lastly the taste of the water is bad. We no longer use it to brew coffee or to drink. I ask that you have the water and pipes tested immediately. Something must be done to insure that we have best water possible. Thank you for your time.

The water has more rust in it, tastes worse and smells bad.• Ve are concerned about the taste and appearance and, even though we use filters, we are concerned about the effect of the water on our health. Recently a neighbor paid to have an independent analysis done and the results were frightening. We Join with other neighbors to ask you to take immediate action and do what is needed to improve the quality of our water. Please respond and let us know what you plan to do. Sincerely, Catherine Gray 4006 Lynn Ave - Edina, MN 55416 952.929.4885 Barbara Nash 4006 Lynn Ave Edina, MN 55416 952.929.4885 Turbidity Turbidity Education & Notification Campaign — Offering More Protection for Those at Risk Turbidity — cloudiness or particles in water — is more than just an aesthetic concern. As turbidity rises, so does the risk of gastrointestinal illness (find out why in column on right). While this might not be of great concern to most of us, the risk for the very young, the very old, and people with weakened immune systems can be higher. To help people make informed choices about their drinking water, water suppliers have partnered with Interior Health to create the Turbidity Education & Notification Campaign. The campaign educates users about turbidity and notifies them of . elevated turbidity levels. The heart of the campaign is the Turbidity Index, a user- friendly tool that shows whether water quality is Good, Fair, or Poor. In keeping with federal standards and provincial regulations, water suppliers regularly test and monitor drinking water to ensure customer safety. If turbidity exceeds 1 -NTU (nephelometric turbidity unit), a water supplier will issue a Water Quality Advisory through the local media and, where possible, on websites and at public facilities. Children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems will be advised to drink boiled water or a safe alternative. Turgidity greater than 5 -NTU may trigger a Boil Water Notice, during which all customers will be advised to drink boiled water or a safe alternative. The Provincial Health Officer recommends that newborns and people with weakened immune systems drink boiled water at all times if served by an unfiltered surface water source. Link to: Turbidity Spring 2007 Newsletter page 1, page 22 Frequently Asked Questions (PDF) Safe Alternatives to Tap Water Turbidity is an important water quality indicator because contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites (e.g. Giardia and Cryptosporidium) can attach themselves to the suspended particles in turbid water. These particles interfere with disinfection by shielding contaminants from the disinfectant (e.g. chlorine). nor is chlorine effective in deactivating Cryptosporidium. Turbidity is caused by fine suspended particles of clay, silt, organic and inorganic matter, plankton, and other microscopic organisms that are picked up by water as it passes through a watershed. While turbidity usually results from natural events such as spring runoff or high precipitation, it can also be caused by manmade erosion. Turbidity, reported in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU), is an optical measurement of water's ability to scatter and absorb light rather than transmit it in straight lines. Turbidity levels are much higher in water from surface sources than in groundwater. Turbidity levels can range from less than 1 -NTU to more than 1,000 -NTU. At 5 -NTU water is visibly cloudy, and at 25 -NTU it is murky. rns Well Water Testing Kit www.uldrilikweR.com LABORATORY REPORT Client: Tara Bizily 4005 Lynn Avenue Edina, MN 55416 Sample Site: Kitchen Sink Collection Date: 09/27/2007 Underwriters Laboratories Inc. o Report #: 151479 Received: 09/28/2007 Reported: 10/08/2007 At -A- Glance Testing Results (detailed results on following pages) Bacteriologicals _Green Regulated Metals Green �!

Client: Tara Bizily Report #: 151479 Contaminants Detected with Related Health Effects & Aesthetics Conditions Aesthetic Related Contaminants (continued) Sodium Sodium was detected at 20 mg/L. There is no Federal Limit for this contaminant. Sodium levels in drinking water are usually low and unlikely to be a significant contribution to adverse health effects. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies of Science recommends 1,500 mg is an adequate sodium intake for adults between the ages of 19 and 50. The recommendation is decreased to 1,300 mg/day for adults between 50 and 70 years and to 1,200 mg /day for adults over 70. In addition, it is recommended that total dietary intake be limited to no more than 2,300 mg /day. Sodium is not a regulated parameter in drinking water, however the U.E. EPA has recommended 20 mg /L as a guideline for those individuals on a very low sodium diet (500 mg/day) and 30 to 60 mg /L as levels where the taste of water may be affected.
