SUMMARY: The project involves reconstruction of local bituminous streets, replacement of
existing concrete curb and gutter, installation of new concrete curb and gutter,
construction of a new concrete sidewalk and localized rehabilitation of the sanitary
sewer, watermain and storm sewer systems in the neighborhood.
The estimated total project cost is $ 3,870,931. The estimated roadway construction
cost is $1,771,281 and will be funded through special assessments at a rate of
approximately $15,300 per residential equivalent unit (REU). Utility improvements
amount to $2,042,290 and will be funded through the City’s utility funds. Sidewalk
improvements are estimated to cost $57,360 and will be funded through the
Pedestrian and Cyclists Safety (PACS) fund.
INITIATION: The project was initiated by the Engineering Department as part of the City’s
Neighborhood Reconstruction Program, identified in the Capital Improvement Plan.
The project complies with the City’s Living Streets Policy, Vision Edina’s mission
statement to “provide effective and valued public services” and “maintain a sound
public infrastructure” and the “Strong Foundations” City budget goal. This project
addresses updating substandard infrastructure with improvements associated with the
roadway condition, watermain system, storm sewer system, sanitary sewer system
and pedestrian facilities.
LOCATION: The project includes Abbott Place, Beard Avenue, Beard Court, Drew Avenue,
Ewing Circle, Fuller Street, and West 55th Street. It also includes West 54th Street
within the Cities of Edina and Minneapolis. A detailed location map of the project is
shown in Figure 1.

EXISTING
CONDITIONS: Roadways
The roadways in this neighborhood were originally constructed between 1930 and
1950 (see Photo 1).
Photo 1: Creek Knoll A & B Neighborhood, 1956
Maintenance records indicate seal coating was performed within the project area in
1996; West 54th Street had an edge mill in 2012 as part of a traffic calming project
that included the installation of 15’ traffic circles at Drew and Beard Avenues.
Approximately 60% of the streets in the neighborhood do not have concrete curb
and gutter. The roadway width ranges from 28’ to 35’ and the average roadway width
is 29’ (measured from the face of curb to the face of curb or edge of pavement). All
the roadways currently have a bituminous surface. A recent geotechnical evaluation
of the project area performed by Braun Intertec showed the roadway section varies
from 1.25” to 6” of pavement over a sand and gravel aggregate base.
As part of the City’s Pavement Management Program, all streets are regularly
evaluated and rated on a scale from 1 to 100; 100 representing a brand-new road
surface and 0 being extremely poor. This rating is referred to as the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI), and is determined based on existing conditions and defects
(alligator cracking, raveling, potholes, etc.). The average PCI for the City of Edina is
72 and the average PCI for Creek Knoll A&B is 23. An example of the current
pavement condition can be seen in Photos 2 and 3.

Traffic and Crash Data
Staff measured traffic volumes and speeds at several locations within or near the
neighborhood. Average daily traffic volumes within the neighborhood range between
117 and 1,006 vehicles per day with 85th percentile speeds between 21.3 and 30.1
miles per hour. Traffic and crash data for this project is shown in Appendix A.
Multi-Modal Transportation
Pedestrian Facilities
Sidewalk is present on the north side of West 54th Street (in Minneapolis) for the
entire length of the project and on the south side adjacent to 5401 France Avenue
(Speedway). There is also a sidewalk on the north side of Fuller Street just east of
France Avenue, adjacent to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. A marked crosswalk on
Fuller Street connects this sidewalk to the parking lot across the street.
A wood pedestrian bridge crosses Minnehaha Creek south of Beard Court but is not
ADA compliant. Sidewalk also exists immediately adjacent to the project area on
France Avenue from West 54th Street to Fuller Street (see Appendix B).
Bicycle Facilities
West 54th Street east of France Avenue is designated as a Neighborhood Slow Street,
with signage and pavement markings to alert drivers to on-street bicycle traffic.
There are advisory bike lanes immediately adjacent to the project area on West 54th
Street west of France Avenue (see Appendix C).
Public Utilities
Sanitary Sewer
The sanitary sewer system consists of 8” and 9” vitrified clay pipe (VCP) installed
between 1942 and 1975, the bulk of which was constructed in 1945. A 24” lined VCP
runs through Beard Court. Historical records indicate there have been a minimal
number of back-ups or blockages in the area (see Appendix D). The City of
Minneapolis does not own a sanitary sewer system on West 54th Street.
Watermain
The watermain system consists of 6” ductile iron pipe (DIP) and 1.5” copper pipe
installed between 1979 and 1995. The overall system has experienced a minimal
number of breaks (see Appendix D). Most of the fire hydrants were installed in 1995.
Properties on Abbott Place and on the east half of Beard Avenue from Abbott Place
to West 54th Street are served from a 6” watermain owned by the City of
Minneapolis. The City of Minneapolis also owns and maintains a 48” steel watermain
and fire hydrant along the north edge of West 54th Street.
Many homes in the neighborhood were constructed prior to the availability of
municipal water. Although several have had private wells properly sealed, City records
suggest some remain unsealed. Based on Utility Billing records, there are two
properties in the project area that rely on private wells for domestic water.
Storm Sewer
The storm sewer system is in the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The system
consists of 12” - 18” reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and 8” – 18” polyvinyl chloride
pipe (PVC), primarily installed in the 1950’s. There are relatively few storm sewer
Engineering Study
Creek Knoll A&B Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-459

inlets and pipes located within the project area, the majority of which are in the
Minneapolis half of West 54th Street. Per the City of Minneapolis, the mainline storm
sewer pipes and manholes are in poor condition between France and Ewing Avenues.
Most of the streets within the project area flow overland southeast to a ditch on the
east side of Beard Court, to Minnehaha Creek.
Private Utilities
Gas, electric, communications, cable and fiber optic utilities are present in the
neighborhood. These utilities are a combination of overheard and underground
facilities located in backyards, under the pavement or along the boulevards. Street
lighting mostly consists of standard “cobra head” lights mounted on wooden poles
located throughout the project area as shown in Appendix E.
DESIGN INPUT: City Council
2018 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan
This plan, part of the draft 2018 Comprehensive Plan, was developed to guide the
City’s efforts to create a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. As shown
in Appendix B, there is a proposed sidewalk on Beard Avenue between West 54th
Street and Minnehaha Creek, and on France Avenue south of Fuller Street. Appendix
C shows no proposed bicycle facilities within the project area.
2015 Living Streets Policy
This policy balances the needs of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders
in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create
economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability and provide meaningful
opportunities for active living and better health. The City will apply the Policy to all
street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction,
reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or change in the allocation of
pavement space on an existing roadway. The Living Streets Plan includes 15 principles
to guide implementation of the Policy, divided into four categories: All Users and All
Modes, Connectivity, Context Sensitivity and Sustainability. Below is a summary of
how these principles are incorporated into this project:
All Users and All Modes – This project will improve mobility and access to the
transportation network for a variety of users, including pedestrians, cyclists, children,
seniors and the disabled. Replacement of the pavement surfaces and traffic control
signage will enhance safety and convenience for all users.
Connectivity – This project involves maintaining a transportation system that can
accommodate all modes of travel. Existing right-of-way will be repurposed to provide
new multimodal transportation facilities, which in combination with existing and
planned facilities, will form a multimodal network within the neighborhood.
Context Sensitivity – Engineering strives to preserve and protect natural features
within or adjacent to construction sites where feasible, including trees, waterways
and sensitive slopes. Residents within the project area were invited to complete a
questionnaire soliciting input on project design components, including multi-modal
transportation, street lighting and local drainage problems.
Engineering Study
Creek Knoll A&B Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-459
November 30, 2020

Sustainability – Engineering works closely with Public Works to implement
infrastructure improvements with consideration of lifecycle costs and future
maintenance. The new roadway section can be easily maintained long-term with the
use of proactive rehabilitation treatments, which will significantly extend the life of
the pavement. Reductions in impervious surfaces benefit water quality and may lessen
the demand for chemicals to manage snow and ice (such as chloride). Construction
operations are required to use the smallest footprint necessary to complete the work;
this includes utilizing trenchless technologies, such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place
pipe liners. This project will also reduce inflow and infiltration of clean water into the
sanitary sewer system, minimizing regional wastewater treatment, reducing the risk
of sewage surcharges and limiting the risk of back-ups to residential properties.
Relevant portions of the Living Streets Plan can be found in Appendix F.
2018 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan
The CWRMP identified a single area of flood inundation outside the Minnehaha Creek
floodway and floodplain, within the project area, for both the 10-percent and 1-
percent-annual-chance flood event (also referred to as the 10-year and 100-year
frequency event, respectively). The area is in the rear yard of multiple properties
between West 54th Street and Fuller Street (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: West 54th St. and Fuller St. Backyard Flood Zone (MHS_4)

The rear yard depression area collects approximately 1.75 acres of stormwater from
the neighboring properties and is not connected to the City’s storm sewer system; 3
structures may be impacted. This area (MHS_4) was included in the 2018
Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan (CWRMP) prepared by Barr
Engineering, which provided a detailed evaluation of the area with high flood potential
that corresponded to anticipated roadway reconstruction. Relevant portions of this
CWRMP can be found in Appendix G.
Staff
Public Works
A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Public Works Department.
They support installation of concrete curb and gutter, as well as replacement of
deficient watermain components (including fire hydrants, gate valves and water
services). They also recommend replacement of existing CMP storm sewer within the
project area.
Police and Fire
A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Police and Fire Departments.
The Fire Department supports watermain improvements, including adding fire
hydrants as necessary to meet public safety standards. They noted that temporary fire
hydrants should be of a consistent style for ease of access, that emergency access
should always be maintained during construction and that drive widths and turn
arounds should meet fire code.
Edina Transportation Commission
Prior to the Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) regular meeting on October
22, 2020, a draft engineering study was provided for review.
Relevant minutes from the ETC meetings are included in Appendix H.
Residents
As part of the Engineering Department’s practice of notifying residents 2-3 years prior
to a potential reconstruction project, residents were invited to two open houses
between September 2018 and September 2019. Materials from these meetings are
available upon request.
Additionally, a virtual neighborhood informational presentation was posted on Better
Together Edina in August 2020. Residents were notified of the virtual meeting and
were able to directly ask questions to staff from the Better Together Edina website,
as well as telephone and email. Materials from this presentation can be found in
Appendix J.
On June 18, 2020, residents in Creek Knoll A & B were asked to complete a
questionnaire, soliciting feedback on motorized and non-motorized transportation,
street lighting and local drainage problems within the project area. The questionnaire
was completed by 43 of 113 property owners, a return rate of 38%.

PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENTS: The proposed improvements acknowledge many of the comments and concerns
raised by residents throughout the information gathering process, while still
maintaining the desired minimum standards of Engineering, Public Works and other
City staff.
Roadways
Typical Section
The bituminous roadways are proposed to be completely reconstructed to the
subgrade. The existing bituminous pavement and suitable aggregate material will be
recycled for use as base material in the new roadway where feasible. A minimum of
8” of aggregate base material will be graded and compacted as the base layer prior to
placement of 2.5” of bituminous non-wear and 1.5” of bituminous wear course.
Unsuitable subgrade materials will be replaced as necessary to provide adequate
support for the new roadbed. The reconstructed sections will meet the requirements
of a minimum 20-year pavement design life based on projected traffic loadings.
All roadways within the project area are designated as Local Streets in the Living
Streets Plan. Per this plan’s design guidelines, Local Streets have a typical width of 27’
(measured from the face of curb to the face of curb) without sidewalks or 24’ with a
5’ sidewalk on one side. The majority of the roadways are proposed to be
reconstructed to 27’; The Ewing Circle street width will not be altered due to minimal
utility improvements and the favorable condition of the existing concrete curb and
gutter. Beard Avenue is proposed to be reconstructed to 24’ due to the proposed
sidewalk (see Pedestrian Facilities below). West 54th Street will be reconstructed to
its approximate current width to maintain the location of the traffic circles in the
center of the roadway and to prevent an offset street centerline crown due to the
City of Minneapolis not replacing the concrete curb and gutter on the north side of
the street.
Engineering Study
Creek Knoll A&B Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-459
November 30, 2020
10
Per the City of Minneapolis, spot replacement of concrete curb and gutter will be
performed on the majority of West 54th Street in the City of Minneapolis. The
majority of the bituminous pavement will be rehabilitated with a 2” mill and overlay.
The bituminous roadway is proposed to be completely reconstructed to the subgrade
where storm sewer improvements are proposed between France and Ewing Avenues.
Geometrics
The West 54th Street traffic circles will remain in place to continue to provide traffic
calming. Spot replacement of curb and gutter will be performed on the traffic circles
as necessary.
Parking
Per the Living Streets Plan, on-street parking should be evaluated based on
classification, adjacent land uses, existing demand and costs of construction and
maintenance. Due to existing adjacent parking lots, staff recommends no parking on
Fuller Street between France Avenue and 3721 Fuller Street, which is consistent with
current conditions. The existing and proposed roadway widths, sidewalk widths and
parking recommendations are shown in Table 1.

Roadway Signage
All traffic signage within the project area, including street name blades, will be replaced
to improve visibility and reflectivity (see Appendix E), with the exception of the traffic
circle signage which was installed in 2012. All new signs will conform to the standards
of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Pedestrian Facilities
A 5’ boulevard style concrete sidewalk is proposed on the west side of Beard
Avenue from Minnehaha Creek to West 54th Street. This sidewalk will connect to
the existing sidewalk on West 54th Street, the pedestrian bridge over Minnehaha
Creek, and to future sidewalks proposed on Beard Avenue south of Minnehaha
Creek. A 5’ boulevard style concrete sidewalk is also proposed for the east side of
France Avenue between Fuller Street and West 57th Street. This sidewalk may be
designed and bid separately from the Creek Knoll A and B project. This sidewalk
will connect to existing sidewalks on France Avenue and West 54th Street and will
improve pedestrian access to Metro Transit’s future E Line bus rapid transit (BRT)
service on France Avenue.
The location was selected by staff based on existing topography, connections to
existing facilities and right-of-way impacts. The grass boulevard that will separate the
new curb and the proposed sidewalk along Beard Avenue will be 5’ wide for most of
the length of the street but may vary depending on existing conflicts. The separation
from vehicle traffic creates a more pedestrian-friendly environment and is preferred
by Public Works for snow storage. Figure 3 shows all existing and proposed
pedestrian facilities.
Figure 3: Existing and Proposed Pedestrian Facilities
All adjacent pedestrian curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet the current design
standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and portions of the existing
sidewalks will be reconstructed as necessary. The existing marked crosswalk and
associated signage on Fuller Street will be replaced.
The proposed sidewalk on France Avenue will be maintained by City staff, including
snow plowing. As none of the remaining sidewalk segments are along a County

12
Road, a Municipal State Aid roadway nor included in the City’s Active Routes to
School Plan, they will be maintained by the adjacent property owners.
Bicycle Facilities
There are no proposed bicycle facilities within the project area. Staff recommends
not replacing the bike boulevard pavement markings due to the lack of adjacent bike
facilities as well as consistency with recently constructed slow streets.
Public Utilities
Sanitary Sewer
The sanitary sewer main has been televised, and portions will be repaired using a
combination of open cut and cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) methods. These repairs will
address the issues of sags, cracks and groundwater infiltration into the sewer main.
The manhole castings will also be removed and replaced to reduce inflow and
infiltration of stormwater.
Watermain
Echologics, LLC was hired by the City to perform a non-invasive pipe condition
assessment on the watermain within the project area, and staff has reviewed historical
break data to determine the extent of improvements needed. Selective portions of
the existing watermain will be replaced using a combination of pipe bursting, lining
and open cut methods. Staff is considering replacing existing watermain service leads
to homes served by the City of Edina water system. This will be determined after bids
are received, due to budget constraints. All gate valves and fire hydrants within the
project area will be replaced and, if needed, additional hydrants will be installed to
meet current public safety standards. The new fire hydrants will include the Storz
nozzle fittings desired by the Edina Fire Department for quick connection of fire
hoses. Per the City of Minneapolis, no watermain improvements are proposed.
As part of the City’s Wellhead Protection Plan, staff plans to engage property
owners who have unsealed private wells and encourage them to have them properly
sealed.
Storm Sewer
Based on existing conditions and the scope of utility work, new concrete curb and
gutter will be installed throughout the project, except for Ewing Circle, providing a
continuous, functional conduit for stormwater. The storm sewer network will have
modifications to resolve existing drainage issues at various locations throughout the
neighborhood. Some of the existing structures will be removed and replaced due to
their poor condition. Sump drains will be installed where feasible to allow property
owners to connect their sump pump discharges directly into the storm sewer system.
Staff will engage in further discussions with Barr Engineering to determine outlet sizing
and other Minnehaha Creek Watershed district permitting requirements.
Per the City of Minneapolis, mainline storm sewer pipe and manhole replacement
between France and Ewing Avenues. No replacement of the storm sewer inlets or
storm sewer pipe leads is proposed.
The 2018 Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan recommended that
the storm sewer system be upgraded to protect the structure at 3600 Fuller Street
Engineering Study
Creek Knoll A&B Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-459

from flooding during the 100-year frequency storm event It is proposed to extend
storm sewer pipes from Minnehaha Creek at Beard Court north along Beard Avenue
and west along Fuller Street. Connection to the backyard depression area near 3600
Fuller Street is not proposed as part of this project due to the lack of easements such
work would require; however, the proposed storm sewer pipe on Fuller Street would
allow for a connection to the backyards in the future..
Staff will communicate and coordinate with adjacent property owners, as necessary.
Private Utilities
Staff met with representatives of several private utility companies on October 28,
2020 to discuss the proposed 2021 reconstruction projects and preliminary
improvements. Portions of the private utility networks may receive upgrades prior to
construction; however, this work is not part of the City’s project. Currently, the City
does not have a standard to determine where and when street lighting should be
improved. Unlike other infrastructure improvements, lighting can be installed at a later
date with minimal disturbance through the use of trenchless technologies. The lighting
in the neighborhood is sufficient to delineate the intersections; therefore, staff is
recommending no revisions to the current street lighting.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/
EASEMENTS: Existing roadway right-of-way in this neighborhood is 60’ except for West 54th Street
where it is 66’ and Ewing Circle where it is 36’. Half of the ROW for West 54th
Street is located within the City of Minneapolis. Staff is preparing a cooperative
agreement with the City of Minneapolis for proposed work that occurs within
Minneapolis ROW. The cooperative agreement will detail each agency’s
responsibilities regarding construction, cost allocation, ownership, and future
maintenance. A ROW permit from Hennepin County will be required for work that
will occur at France Avenue.
Many properties have vegetation, boulders or other landscaped items within the City
right-of-way. A portion of these landscape items will interfere with some of the
proposed infrastructure improvements and will need to be removed to complete the
necessary work.
PROJECT COSTS: The total estimated project cost is $3,797,161 (see Table 2). The total cost includes
direct costs for engineering, clerical and construction finance costs from the start of
the project to the final assessment hearing.

ASSESSMENTS: Assessments will be levied against the benefiting adjacent properties pursuant to
Chapter 429 of the Minnesota State Statues. Based on the City’s Special Assessment
Policy, there are 115.77 roadway residential equivalent units (REUs) in the Creek
Knoll A & B project area. The estimated assessment per REU is $15,300 (see Figure
4).

2. Living Streets Policy
INTRODUCTION
The Living Streets Policy was developed to provide the framework for a Living Streets Plan. The policy
initially stood alone and included sections to guide the creation of the Living Street Plan. This revised
policy is now an integral part of the Living Streets Plan.
The Living Streets Policy ties directly to key community goals outlined in the City’s 2008 Comprehensive
Plan. Those goals include safe walking, bicycling and driving; reduced storm water runoff, reduced energy
consumption, and promoting health. The Living Streets Policy also compliments voluntary City initiatives
such the “do.town” effort related to community health, Tree City USA and the Green Step Cities programs
related to sustainability. In other cases, the Living Streets Policy will assist the City in meeting mandatory
requirements set by other agencies.
The Living Streets Policy is broken up into three
parts: Vision, Principles and Implementation. The
Policy is followed by a description of core services
provided by the City of Edina that are related to or
implemented in part through Living Streets.
POLICY
Living Streets balance the needs of motorists,
bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community
identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability, and provide meaningful
opportunities for active living and better health. The Living Streets Policy defines Edina’s vision for Living
Streets, the principles Living Streets will embody, and the plan that will guide implementation of their
construction.
LIVING STREETS VISION
Edina is a place where ...
• Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible;
• Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike;
• Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity;
• Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity;
• Public policy strives to promote sustainability through balanced infrastructure investments;
• Environmental stewardship and reduced energy consumption are pursued in public and private
sectors alike; and
• Streets support vibrant commerce and add to the value of adjacent land uses.
Mini Fact
Expect cyclists on the road. Watch for
cyclists on the road. Treat them as you
would any slow-moving vehicle.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

LIVING STREETS PRINCIPLES
Fifteen principles guide implementation of the Living Streets Policy in the areas of all users and all
modes, connectivity, context sensitivity and sustainability. The City will incorporate these principles when
planning for and designing the local transportation network and when making public and private land use
decisions.
All Users and All Modes
Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of
the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and
the disabled; and
Principle 2: Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while
enhancing safety and convenience for all users.
Connectivity
Principle 3: The City designs, operates and maintains a transportation system that provides
a highly connected network of streets that accommodate all modes of travel;
Principle 4: The City seeks opportunities to overcome barriers to active transportation by
preserving and repurposing existing rights-of-way and adding new rights-
of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit;
Principle 5: The City prioritizes improvements to non-motorized connections to key
destinations such as public facilities, public transit, the regional transportation
network and commercial areas;
Principle 6: The City will require new developments to provide interconnected street and
sidewalk networks that connect to existing or planned streets or sidewalks
on the perimeter of the development; and
Principle 7: Projects will include consideration of the logical termini by mode. For
example, the logical termini for a bike lane or sidewalk may extend beyond the
traditional limits of a street construction or reconstruction project, in order to
ensure multimodal connectivity and continuity.
Context Sensitivity
Principle 8: Living Streets are developed with input from stakeholders and designed to
consider neighborhood character and promote a strong sense of place;
Principle 9: Living Streets preserve and protect natural features such as waterways, urban
forest, sensitive slopes and soils;
Principle 10: Living Streets are designed and built with coordination between business and
property owners along commercial corridors to develop vibrant commercial
districts;
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy
10
Principle 11: Living Streets coordinate with regional transit networks and regional
authorities; and
Principle 12: The City will consider the fiscal context of projects and potential financial
impacts when implementing Living Streets at the project level.
Sustainability
Principle 13: Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public,
Principle 14: Living Streets will reduce environmental impacts associated with the
construction and operation of roadways; and
Principle 15: The City will increase the life span and resilience of its infrastructure and will
build infrastructure with consideration for lifecycle costs and ease
of maintenance.
LIVING STREETS IMPLEMENTATION
The City of Edina will develop Living Streets in the regular course of business of maintaining, expanding
or redeveloping the road network and will be guided by the Vision and Principles established above.
Implementation will happen predominantly through the neighborhood street reconstruction program, but
also though specific stand-alone stormwater utility, pedestrian, bicycle or safety projects.
Project prioritization is not specifically part of the Living Streets Plan. Prioritization of projects takes
place in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and Budget and is determined by the City Council with
guidance from the Living Streets Vision and Principles.
The City will actively promote and apply the Living Streets Policy and Plan by:
• Applying the Living Streets Policy and Plan to all street projects, including those involving
operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or
changes in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. This also includes privately
built roads, sidewalks, paths and trails.
• Drawing on all sources of transportation funding and actively pursuing grants, cost-sharing
opportunities and other new or special funding sources as applicable.
• Through all City departments supporting the vision and principles outlined in this Plan in their
work.
• By acting as an advocate for Living Streets principles when a local transportation or land use
decision is under the jurisdiction of another agency.
Projects that implement Living Streets will be guided by pedestrian and cyclist network plans and roadway
classifications and will consider the physical, social, ecologic, regulatory and economic context in a given
project area.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy
11
The project delivery system used to build Living Streets will:
• Systematically engage Edina residents and project stakeholders to better inform project-level
recommendations.
• Keep Edina residents and project stakeholders informed about Living Streets and the range of services
they help provide.
• Follow minimum Living Streets design requirements and standards.
• Manage construction impacts to residents and users of streets.
Network
The creation of a Living Streets network of road, pedestrian and bicycle facilities provides mobility,
accessibility and access to people, places and spaces. The resulting interconnection of neighborhoods links
people to goods and services and to one another, and increases quality of life for those who live in, work
in, or visit the city.
Existing and planned transportation networks are identified in the City of Edina Comprehensive Plan and
other approved/adopted plans. Network plans include:
• Roadway Network (Functional Classification, Jurisdictional Classification)
• Sidewalk Facilities
• Bicycle Facilities (Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan)
• Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan
• Transit Service
Network plans are approved by the City Council. In most cases, modification requires an amendment of
the Comprehensive Plan.
The expansion, creation and improvement of pedestrian and bicycle networks will be well planned and
prioritized:
• Expansion of existing networks and providing connections to key traffic generators or destinations
provide immediate benefit to all network users and is a top priority.
• Network connections serving vulnerable users such as children, seniors and the disabled are a top
priority.
• Network connections serving high-volume uses such as schools, retail destinations or regional
public transit are a top priority.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Context
Contextual variety can either constrain or create opportunity in roadway and other infrastructure
projects. The following are contexts that will be considered and will influence the planning, design and
implementation of Living Streets.
Exceptions
Living Streets principles will be included in all street construction, reconstruction, repaving and
rehabilitation projects, except under one or more of the conditions listed below. City staff will document
proposed exceptions as part of a project proposal.
• A project involves only ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable
condition, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair or pothole filling,
or when interim measures are implemented on a temporary detour. Such maintenance activities,
however, shall consider and meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians.

• The City exempts a project due to an excessively disproportionate cost of establishing a bikeway,
walkway or transit enhancement as part of a project.
• The City determines that the construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because
of significant or adverse environmental impacts to waterways, flood plains, remnants or native
vegetation, wetlands or other critical areas.
• Available budget is constrained or project timing allows more efficient construction at a later date.
Engagement
Members of the public have an interest in understanding and providing input for public projects. Project
recommendations will be developed with a transparent and defined level of public engagement. The
public will have access to the decision-making process and decision makers via public meetings and
other correspondence and will be provided the opportunity to give input throughout the process. Project
reports will discuss how their input helped to influence recommendations and decisions. The City of
Edina’s Living Streets will continue to engage and solicit public input as a vital component of the project
implementation process. See Chapter 5 for a more detailed discussion regarding the purpose of and
opportunities for public engagement.
Design
The guidelines contained in the Living Streets Plan will be used to direct the planning, funding, design,
construction, operation and maintenance of new and modified streets, sidewalks, paths and trails. The
guidelines allow for context-sensitive designs.
The Design Guidelines (see Chapter 6):
• Keep street pavement widths to the minimum necessary.
• Provide well-designed pedestrian accommodation in the form of sidewalks or shared-use
pathways on all arterial, collector and local connector streets. Sidewalks shall also be required
where streets abut a public school, public building, community playfield or neighborhood park.
Termini will be determined by context.
• Provide frequent, convenient and safe street crossings. These may be at intersections designed to
be pedestrian friendly, or at mid-block locations where needed and appropriate.
• Provide bicycle accommodation on all primary bike routes.
• Allocate right-of-way for boulevards.
• Allocate right-of-way for parking only when necessary and not in conflict with Living Streets
principles.
• Consider streets as part of our natural ecosystem and incorporate landscaping, trees, rain gardens
and other features to improve air and water quality.
The Design Guidelines in this Plan will be incorporated into other City plans, manuals, rules, regulations
and programs as appropriate. As new and better practices evolve, the City will update this Living Streets
Plan. Minimum standards will guide how vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle networks interact and share
public right of way.

Benchmarks and Performance Measures
The ability to measure the performance of a plan, as well as knowing that it is functioning as it is intended,
is vitally important to overall success and the ability to sustain it. With this in mind, the City will monitor
and measure its performance relative to the Living Streets Policy. Benchmarks that will demonstrate
success include:
Every street and neighborhood is a comfortable place for walking and bicycling.
This does not mean that every street in the city will have walking and biking facilities. It means that each
neighborhood will provide a network of these facilities such that walking and biking to and through
neighborhoods is a comfortable experience.
Every child can walk or bike to school or a park safely.
It is essential that alternatives to driving to school or parks be provided to children and their caregivers.
These alternatives – walking or bicycling – will be both safe and convenient modes of transportation. See
the Edina Active Routes to School Plan for more information.
Seniors, children, and disabled people can cross all streets safely and comfortably.
Opportunities to cross all streets in Edina, including local, collectors and arterial streets, will be provided.
These crossings will be safe and comfortable for all users, regardless of age or ability.
An active way of life is available to all.
Opportunities for active living should be made available to all members of the Edina community by
connecting centers of activity via active, multimodal transportation. Each resident of and visitor to Edina
will have the ability to lead an active way of life.
There are zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries.
Perhaps the ultimate safety benchmark is zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Modeled from the Vision
Zero Initiative (www.visionzeroinitiative.com), an aspirational yet primary goal of Living Streets is to
achieve this high level of safety on the City’s roadways.
Reduce untreated street water flows into local waterways and reduce storm water volume.
Cost-effective stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are strategically selected to go above and
beyond regulatory requirements to provide for flood protection and clean water services through the use of
infrastructure that retains, settles, filters, infiltrates, diverts or reduces the volume of stormwater that flows
to local surface waters.
Retail streets stay or become popular regional destinations.
Part of Edina’s Living Streets vision is that “streets support vibrant commerce.” While most of the city’s
streets are residential, Edina’s business districts are a vital part of the community. The benefits of Living
Streets extend to retail streets as well, making them more attractive to businesses and consumers alike.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy
15
The City will draw on the following data to measure performance:
• Number of crashes or transportation-related injuries reported to the Police Department.
• Number and type of traffic safety complaints or requests.
• Resident responses to transportation related questions in resident surveys.
• Resident responses to post-project surveys.
• The number of trips by walking, bicycling and transit (if applicable) as measured before and after
the project.
• Envision ratings from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure.
• Additional performance measures may be identified as this Policy is implemented.

Southeast Minnehaha Creek
13.3.1.2 3600 West Fuller Street
(MHS_4)
The 100-year frequency flood elevation for the backyard depression area directly
behind 3600 West Fuller Street is 875.4 MSL. A field survey indicates this elevation is
above the low entry (872.6 MSL) at 3600 West Fuller Street. It is recommended that a
catch basin be placed in the backyard depression and connected to a new storm sewer
system installed east along Fuller Street and south along Beard Avenue to Minnehaha
Creek. An existing bituminous drainage channel between Beard Avenue and
Minnehaha Creek at this location appears to be a potential access point to Minnehaha
Creek for the new pipe. The addition of a pipe system and catch basins extending
from Fuller Street to Beard Avenue and then to Minnehaha Creek would provide the
additional benefit of handling the significant street flows that occur on Fuller Street
and Beard Avenue.
There have not been any studies or improvement projects completed for this area.

Project Engineer Charlie Gerk and Assistant City Engineer Aaron Ditzler presented the draft
engineering studies for the proposed 2021 roadway reconstruction projects. The following comments
were made:
• Melody Lake A&B/Grandview A/Birchcrest C
o In response to a question, staff clarified that the proposed 5’ sidewalk width for
Hansen Road is the City’s standard sidewalk width.
o In response to a question, staff explained that bike lanes on Code Avenue are not
proposed as part of this project as the neighborhood to the south was recently
reconstructed without bike lanes and Benton Avenue does not yet have a dedicated
bike facility.
o In response to a question, staff noted that no pedestrian or bicycle facility is
proposed adjacent to Tingdale Park.
o Tingdale Avenue connects between Melody Lake Park and Tingdale Park.

Approved Minutes☒
Approved Date: November 19, 2020
o In response to a question, staff noted that a proposed shared-use path is anticipated
for Benton Avenue in the next 5 years.
o A bike facility should be considered for Hansen Road to connect to Yancey Park.
o The proposed 27’ street width only provides one travel lane if vehicles are parked
on both sides; this is not in the benefit of safety.
o In response to a question, staff explained that a topographic survey was conducted
within the project area to aid in designed the project and that presentations were
provided to property owners within the project area.
• Creek Knoll A/B
o The City should consider upgrading the pedestrian bridge over Minnehaha Creek at
Beard Avenue to be ADA-compliant as part of a future reconstruction project in
the neighborhood south of the creek.
o In response to a question, staff noted they have discussed the proposed sidewalk on
Beard Avenue with the property owner of 3501 West 54th Street. It was noted that
the house at this property is very close to the property line.
o In response to a question, staff noted that a proposed sidewalk on the east side of
France Avenue between Fuller Street and West 57th Street may be included with
the reconstruction project or may be constructed as a separate project in the same
year.
o The proposed sidewalk on the east side of France Avenue between Fuller Street and
West 57th Street will be a great addition.

In the spring during snow melt and during summer rains water stands at base
of the sidewalk crossing fuller that extends from the parking lot south to
Fuller.
all of the water down the street runs into our driveway and across our yard
and our neighbor's yard along with all the street debris because of no curbs.
The driveway is not able to be sloped more to avoid this issue. The sewer
line under the street apparently is higher than normal which required a sewer
pump from our basement. We have a second line that can be used to hook-
up to a normal depth sewer line.
The link between France (Hennepin County) and 55th Street are not
coordinated and both streets seem to be getting higher and higher without
rebuilding the sidewalks and curbs, so they wash out into big puddles many
years.
Bottom of my driveway washes out each year creating a 6 inch deep pot
hole.

Water ponds in the street at the northeast corner of my lot. The ponding
occurs frequently and regularly and has done so for over forty years. Please
correct that situation. Thanks.
History of flooding/standing water near culvert on Beard flowing into creek,
history of flooding down hill on 55th.
At 3705 W 55th St, we used to have a flooded driveway, garage, and
basement during heavy rains. The last time the street was repaved, it was
intentionally sloped away from our driveway. This totally fixed the problem. It
is essential that you maintain that same slope in this 2021 reconstruction.
Significant overflow from the street use to run from the street down our drive
and around our house causing flooding damage. City installed a "hump"
about 10 years ago at the end of our drive which eliminated the issue.
At the corner of 55th Street and Beard Ct, there is a slightly elevated berm
that runs along the outer periphery of the cul-de-sac (i.e., across the north
edge of the courtyard), which was intended to direct rain flow toward the
gulley just west of the courtyard that feeds into the Creek. However, in heavy
rains (which we have experienced frequently in the past several years), the
berm fails to effectively divert the water toward the gulley. Instead, we
experience heavy volumes of rain water rushing over the berm toward my
home (5505 Beard Ct) and the home of my neighbor (5509 Beard Ct). The
water tends to pool up and lap against the wooden garage door at 5505
Beard Court, and/or carve a gulch between our two yards as the water makes
its way to the Creek. This creates damage to our landscape, grasses and
plants.
Drainage has been a huge problem on our property: Water runs into my front
walkway, covering up to 1/2 of my sidewalk. In the winter, thawing and
freezing makes my sidewalk an ice rink. Water also ran down our driveway
into back yard causing serious damage to the back yard. I paid thousands of
dollars to repair the damage. Finally, I asked the city to raise the end of my
driveway to move the water downhill away from my property and that has
helped.
1. A street drain in front of neighbors house goes under his house and ends
in our back yards. It dumps out in our yards leaving a puddle and dirt and
nowhere to go. Could this be replaced with a drain that goes under the road
down the block to a current natural entrance to the creek, or just eliminate the
drain and let the water go down the block to the natural entrance! 2. We have
been in our house for 40 years and have seen the street change many times.
Mainly the height. I have 2 driveways, one on the west side of the lot used to
park cars, and one the east side of the lot going down to the tuck under
garage. The one on the west side has seen the road in front rise about 6
inches due to reconstruction when the city water was put in and then when 2

or 3 layers of blacktop were put over the first layer over the years. Much
higher and the street water come up to the house over the west driveway and
would flow over the east driveway down into the garage. The city has already
put a temporary berm on the east driveway to stop the water from going over.
I would like the street lowered past our house. Our neighbor to the west
would probably like this too.
There is constant pooling at the corner of 54th Street and Drew Ave., at
Fuller Street and Drew Ave. and at 55th Street and Beard Ave. as well as
along Fuller Street bordering St. Peters Church.
We had water in the basement last year. Reason is undetermined at this

yield to other vehicles, or pedestrians. Some remedial training may be
required. :)
I am more worried about increased density and France moving more slowly
due to more traffic and people driving crazy because of that. I don't see too
many cars driving fast on France. The bus is sometimes really fast, and
heavy equipment carrying trucks come down very quickly in the early
morning.
The cars driving E on 54th St drive very fast and approach the roundabouts
at a high speed. They assume they have the right of way at those
roundabouts. The cars on 55th St also drive fast E as there is no stop sign
for them at Drew Ave coming from France Ave.

form of walkers, joggers, strollers, scooters, pets, bikers, rollerbladers, etc.
On weekends the flow of people heading to or from the bridge along the west
end of the cult-de-sac is continuous. Given the existing natural flow of this
traffic, there is no sense in placing a sidewalk at all within the courtyard itself.
Space is already limited in the cul-de-sac, there is no practical utility to laying
more hardscape on it (directionally, people already know where they want to
go), and occupying the space further with a sidewalk only limits parking and
disturbs the natural setting of the courtyard as one approaches the creek.
Vehicles rely on this area to park so they can launch their kayaks and tubes.
If any sidewalk is needed on the block of Beard Ave just north of the cup-de-
sac, then placing the sidewalk on the west side of the road makes sense for
several reasons: It tracks with the existing foot traffic pattern and connects
pedestrians to the footbridge using the shortest possible distance; It
encourages a safer, more direct route for pedestrians to cross 55th Street on
their way to the cul-de-sac, which is a key consideration since cars can come
around this corner quickly; It directs foot traffic alongside the gully, the
westerly edge of the culture-de-sac, where there is much lower risk of cars
coming into contact with passersby as they drive in or back out of the Beard
Ct driveways.

Abbott Place - cars charge up and down the hill., cutting through
neighborhood to avoid traffic. 54th street - the round about a have done
NOTHING to slow down traffic. Should have put in stop signs instead of
spending money on round abouts or both.
The traffic circles on 54th street at both Beard and Drew have not only
allowed cars and bikes to speed on 54th without stopping (stop signs were
removed) but have created a very dangerous intersections! School kids have
to jump off on the lawns-really hard in winter-school bus cant go around the
circle-trucks and vehicle's with trailers cant either. The weeds grow so high
there is a dangerous viability issue. 54th is now like a through street. Most
vehicles don't even slow down. If any doubt-have the police monitor for a day

are a lot more lanes, there is only one each way for 50th and France and the
people who live here now need to use those four lanes several times every

The fake round about on 54th and Drew is a death trap. For some reason the
motorists coming East on 54th do not realize it is a roundabout and they blow
through it even when someone else is in the intersection and should yield.
There is something fundamental about the design because it is not people
not caring or not paying attention. Everyone is horrified when they almost run
you over, but they just can't tell it is coming up. I have talked to several
neighbors about it and they all agree something is not working. Also, the
middle is elevated and planted, and maybe people just can't see over it? I
approach on Drew to 54th, not coming east on 54th, so I'm not sure what they
see, all I know is it isn't me.
55th and Drew could use a stop or for sure a yield sign on 55th St as cars
race from France to get over to Xerxes to avoid 50th and France traffic.
55th and Drew
Drew and 55th needs a stop sign
54th and Beard
54th & Beard
54th and Beard, cars often don't obey the roundabout and speed through.
Please see comments above, Question No. 6.
55th Street and France Ave.
54th and France stoplight is run on a daily basis. Drivers speed through the
light trying to beat the red light way past it being red. It is scary and
ridiculous.
both 54th and Beard Ave and 54th and Drew Ave.

Fuller and Beard. Cars often drive very fast down beard (seems to be mostly
cut through traffic). There is a hill to the east and bushes to the west (so
limited visibility) and a ton of kids on bikes, etc. going through that
intersection.

It would be great to have a pedestrian bridge over 100 at Vernon and at
France over 62. My older kids would have biked to many soccer games at
Highland and Garden parks, or biked to the Aquatic Center or Southdale for
fun, but it is too dangerous for kids to cross those intersections on bikes. So
we mostly only bike into Minneapolis and the lakes for recreation.
When our four kids want to bike to Concord or Pamela Park they have to
cross France at 54th St and then continue West on 54th to Halifax or all the
way to Wooddale. It would be really nice to have a sidewalk on the E side of
France all the way to 58th St to connect in with that great new project. The
sidewalk on the W side of France is already very narrow and a bit dangerous.
New sidewalks on both sides of France avenue

Parking should only be allowed on one side of fuller near the St. Peter's
parkinglot. Parking could be on the side of the playground or along the
homes on the north side - but the street is too narrow to allow parking on
both sides.
Our entire CreekKnoll neighborhood has very little parking on the streets
overnight.
Don't take any on street parking away!
Would be nice to have a curb so that people do not accidentally drive on the
lawn.
West 54th Street between France Ave South and Ewing is quite narrow, has
many parked cars on both sides of the street and carries moderately heavy
traffic.
see # 18 above
Edina's winter overnight parking ban could be moderated to only apply to
actual plowing days.
During spring, summer and fall months, the Beard Court cul-de-sac is
frequently occupied with vehicles that are parked there while launching their
watercraft into the Creek or awaiting children and family members as they
disembark. This is a normal use of the courtyard, and it ordinarily doesn’t
cause an issue because there is ample room for parking right now. However,
if a sidewalk were placed in the cul-de-sac it would significantly limit parking
availability and create congestion in the courtyard. For this reason, and for
the safety concerns noted in response to Question 6, above, a sidewalk is
neither necessary nor desirable in the cul-de-sac itself, and any sidewalk
placed immediately north of Beard Ct should run along the west side of
Beard Ave.
The many, many, many trucks that have parked directly in front of my home
(for construction of new homes in the area and repairs for my neighbors)
have damaged my garden that is next to the street. I have finally given up
trying to repair my garden or have people be more respectful of where and
how they park. I think curbs will be a welcome relief.
please offer designs that continue to allow parking on both sides of the
streets
Q23 Any additional comments about parking?

The current width of the street does well to keep traffic moving even if
vehicles are parked on both sides of street. Some of your redone streets in
other neighborhoods don't allow two cars the pass even if there is no parking
on one side of the street and a car is parked on the other side.
Construction traffic often parked on both sides of street makes difficult driving
and access to our driveway
we have driveways and garages in our neighborhood. we use them. street
parking is not an issue.
they park on my grass as their is no curb and parking is on both sides of
street.
parked cars routinely block our driveway because of the short distance
between driveway at 5413 abbot place & neighboring driveway. We would
like to move the entrance to our driveway 5-15' further away from the
neighboring property.
My neighborhood includes Minneapolis since we are on a street that borders
Minneapolis. Minneapolis streets have sidewalks. There are none in Creek
Knoll to my knowledge. Therefore, we tend to do most of our neighborhood
walks in Minneapolis.
Immediate fix: potholes at the end of Fuller going onto France Ave. It would
be great if a sidewalk was installed on the south side of Fuller extending
from the school building all the way to Drew. St. Peter's has plans drawn up
for parking lot improvements, however we have put these on hold until after
the engineering plans are completed for the Fuller project. Our plans include
a sidewalk - but that would probably be inside the fenced area for the safety
of children. However a city sidewalk would change the location of the
sidewalk.
The streets are in terrible condition, the manhole covers are low and there is
broken asphalt everywhere and poor drainage... all the street debris runs into
the Minnehaha Creek and across driveways and yards down the hill. The
sewer line under the street is abnormally high apparently requiring a non-
normal hook-up
The quality of the surface is very poor. In my opinion, this is due to consistent
patching and improper drainage during rainfall.

I am strongly of the opinion that if the City/County is going to suddenly
change the intersections so that the cross walk is now five feet or so back
from the intersection there should be a major public
announcement/billboards. I have almost run over a couple people in the last
year. One was at 65th and France and it was snowing and I couldn't see the
stripes on the road, had never seen something like that before, and suddenly
a guy was crossing the street right in front of me. He was terrified, I was
horrified I almost hit someone in a cross walk. After you've been driving for
many decades it is hard to suddenly relearn where your eye is going. I love
the large traffic circles, I'm not opposed to change, but this so far for me has
seemed like more of a threat to public safety than an improvement. One
other thing I have noticed turning on France now that the lanes have
changed (which was a great idea, I love it) but now we don't have the
shoulder to pull out on a little bit to see France better. I can't see northbound
due to a big tree that sticks all the way out to the curb, and now that the
shoulder is not there I am having to stick out into traffic to see the road. It
would be good to cut any trees like that back for visibility. They are on
County property so it shouldn't be a problem for homeowners.
The overhead street lighting is old and outdated. Please update that too.
Speed bumps necessary...many new small children moving in. people driving
too fast
We are against the sidewalk from 54th to Minnehaha Creek. It is such a short
stretch that it would not matter. We love the idea of people sharing the
streets and the availability of more green space.
Need gutters for rainwaters flowing down the street!
We get a lot of run off down the street during storms directly into the creek. Is
there a way to add a storm run off holding area at the east end of west 55th
to reduce the amount of pollution directly to the creek? Also for this reason
we'd like curb and gutter and catch basins installed (currently there is only
one catch basin on the entire length of west 55th street!) Also, it would be
great if we could get some boulevard trees planted in the ROW on both
sides, or at least the south side of the street for shade in the summer months
for pedestrians.
Need street light at bottom of hill on Abbott Place.
Please do something to increase safety on 54th
Neighborhood Reconstruction Survey : Survey Report for 30 January 2019 to 10 August 2020
Page 32 of 37
St. Peter's Church has an abundance of parking that is never utilized. It
would be good to see the lots repaved and stripped and potentially reduce
the lot size(s) to increase green space.
we have no through streets, minimal traffic and a history of neighbors walking
on the street without out any issues - ever. we do not need sidewalks for any
reason. please do not force something on our neighbor hood just because
you think its the right thing.
lots of rocks/gravel flows down street in rain and collects at my driveway -
unsafe for bikes and kids
Some areas are very dark (by Beard Court, parts of 55th St., all of Abbott
Place. There is a dangerous spot for kids near the intersection of Fuller and
Beard and 55 and Beard with fast drivers. Also a challenge with some of
those drivers on Abbott Place, where the road bends sharply and has hills. At
certain times of the day, the sun makes it hard to see anyone coming around
the bend or up the hill.

I realized after I sent the first email that I missed an entire page of signatures for our petition,
there are 6 attached pages. My apologies for the second email.
To: Members of the Edina City Council and Edina Engineering Department
Date: November 16, 2020
Regarding: Creek Knoll Neighborhood Road Construction Project
The residents of Beard Avenue and Beard Court of the Creek Knoll neighborhood of Edina are
reaching out to the City Council regarding the upcoming road reconstruction project slated for April
2021. We have reviewed the construction plan and met with Aaron Ditzler, the Assistant City
Engineer, regarding the plan for Creek Knoll. Specifically, we request the City Council to remove
from the plan the installation of sidewalks for a two-block section on Beard Avenue South from
54th Street to Minnehaha Creek. We respectfully submit the attached petition to this effect which
has unanimous support from the residences on Beard Ave as well as significant support from the
surrounding Creek Knoll community to not install this sidewalk.
We believe the Creek Knoll neighborhood already embodies the principle laid out in the Edina Living
Streets project which include safety, walkability and sense of community. Below are our main points
in support of our petition:
Safety and Walkability:
We have THREE no through streets: Beard Ave dead ends into the creek and walking
bridge; Fuller dead ends into Abbott Place (also not a through street as it curves into 54th
Street); and 55th Street dead ends into Beard Ave. Any cars in the area are residents, visiting
residents, or are lost as they look for a through street.
LOW TRAFFIC VOLUME: Data from the City Engineer’s office shows that the average traffic
count on Beard is 164 cars/day (very low) with the 85th percentile speed measured at 21.3
mph (also very low). The absence of a sidewalk does not represent a safety issue.
Loss of green space: Adding a boulevard type of sidewalk will result in loss of green space from
yards, landscaping and perhaps most importantly could damage or cause the loss of some very old
trees here since the neighborhood was developed.
Neighborhood Character and Community Behavior: Our streets are alive already with families
biking, walking, playing catch, walking dogs, or catching up with neighbors without the presence of a
sidewalk. People appreciate the ability to walk side by side down the edge of the street due to the
safety and low traffic. The presence of a sidewalk will not enhance or change what has already
existed for generations.
Increased project costs: The cost of reimbursement for removal and replacement of fences, rock
and timber retaining walls, landscaping, and trees will be significant. Some of the houses that line
Beard Ave have very narrow side/front yards relative to the street.
Restricted and limited parking which is not necessary or needed.
Precedent: In at least two other neighborhoods sidewalks were not installed—the Juanita/Indianola
neighborhood, which has a similar layout as our neighborhood with no through streets and low
traffic count; and Golf Terrace, which has a much higher traffic count, but did not have sidewalks
installed.
In closing, we would like to invite the members of the City Council to come to Creek Knoll for a
COVID compliant brief “walk and talk” tour of our neighborhood on Monday morning, November
30th at 8:45 AM in front of 5405 Beard Ave S. Seeing our neighborhood first hand will help in
making an informed decision about our request. In addition, several residents of the neighborhood
will attend the virtual City Council meeting on December 7 when our neighborhood plan will be
presented by the engineering department. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Amy Barger Kennon Jaeger

Aaron: Thank you for meeting with me and Kennon this morning to discuss the road
construction and sidewalk project for our neighborhood, Creek Knoll. We very much
appreciate your time in answering our questions and providing insight into the project. We
look forward to hearing back from you on how our neighborhood can best provide input to
the engineering department and City Council given the current challenge of the COVID virus.
I have attached a draft copy of our current rationale or talking points for not installing
sidewalks on Beard Ave S as currently proposed. I included Chad Millner, the Head Engineer,
on this email too. I know that you plan to update him on our meeting and our intention to
submit a petition to the City Council asking that sidewalks not be installed. As we indicated in
our meeting this morning, we currently have unanimous support of all the residents on Beard
Ave S on the petition. We will also be talking to the broader neighborhood, but brief
discussions indicate general support for not installing a sidewalk.
Please contact either me or Kennon if we can be of further assistance to you or the

Hi Aaron -
I have a few questions related to the 2021 Creek Knoll Roadway Project. Thinking it may make
sense for us to schedule a phone call soon, but wanted to drop you a note first to get the ball
rolling.
We are longtime Edina homeowners on 54th Street, which, as you know, is the dividing line
between Edina and SW Mpls. We still have a well, but over the years have considered
converting to city water, which on our street apparently would mean joining the Mpls water
system. Additionally, we have a tree in our front yard that from time to time has created root
issues for the sewer, so we are considering replacing our sewer line.
Given that we are considering improvements to both our water and sewer, wondering if it
would make sense to do it when the street is torn up next year.
Do you have a few minutes on Friday afternoon to discuss? I'd like to get your feedback.
Thanks much,
Ann and Darren Merrill

Hi Aaron,
I am the home owner at 5127 W. 56th Street.
I am 100% strongly opposed the STUPID project being proposed to add a unneeded sidewalk and
greatly reduce the width of the roadway. I will stand up to opposed this in every way possible. I
sincerely hope the city is actually going to take into account what the homeowners on this street
have to say about this… or will it be like everything else that it is just crammed down pocket book

Hello Aaron,
Thanks very much for the update. Just to confirm, is the intention also to continue the sidewalk along the west edge
of the cul-de-sac until it joins up with the footbridge?
We certainly appreciate your efforts to coordinate with the watershed district to address the drainage issues.

It’s going to be awhile longer to determine the sidewalk location. We’re investigating some potential conflicts with
multiple private utility vaults along Beard Avenue.
The next project milestone is an informational street reconstruction video presentation that you will be able to view
on the Better Together Edina project website for Creek Knoll. You will receive a mailing in August notifying you
when it’s available for viewing.

Hello Chad,
Hope all is well with you, and happy Friday. I just wanted to follow-up on our exchange below and see if there have
been any further determinations about sidewalk placement for the Beard Ave stretch described below, in connection
with the Creek Knoll phase of the sidewalk construction project. I’ll continue to keep an eye out for any meeting
notices, but given everything that’s transpired in 2020, I wasn’t sure if perhaps that timing had gotten pushed back,
so figured I would check in.

EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina. Do not click links or open

Hello Chad:
I reside at 5505 Beard Court, and as you may recall we spoke several weeks ago about the placement of the sidewalk
on the block of Beard Avenue S. that is just north of the Beard Court cul-de-sac (the Beard Ave block between W
55th Street and Fuller St./Abbott Pl). In our conversation we discussed several safety-based reasons why it would
be far more appropriate to place the sidewalk on the westerly side of Beard Avenue on that block. You requested
that I provide you with a written summary of these reasons, and I am now responding to that request. In addition, I
have included on this email my neighbor, Bob Kuhlman, who resides next door at 5509 Beard Court. Bob and I
share the same concerns I described to you in our call, and we agree on the preferred placement of the sidewalk for
all the reasons noted below. We also feel, regardless of what side of Beard Ave the sidewalk is ultimately placed,
that continuing the sidewalk onto the courtyard itself is neither advisable or desirable, as explained below.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to either of us if you have questions or would like any additional information.
Thank you for your consideration, we look forward to learning your position on the issues we have raised.
Sincerely,
Sandro Garofalo and Bob Kuhlman
• The footbridge crossing the Minnehaha creek just south of the Beard Ct cul-de-sac experiences a high volume of
continuous traffic, in the form of walkers, joggers, strollers, scooters, pets, bikers, rollerbladers, etc. On weekends
the flow of people heading to or from the foot bridge is often continuous.
• Typically, pedestrians north of the creek approach the bridge by heading south on Beard Avenue S along the right
side of the road (i.e. the west side), or by heading east on 55th Street along the right-hand (south) side of the road.
• Placing the Beard Ave sidewalk on the west side of the road makes sense for several reasons:
o It tracks with the existing foot traffic pattern and connects pedestrians to the footbridge using the shortest possible
distance;
o It encourages a safer, more direct route for pedestrians to cross 55th Street on their way to the cul-de-sac, which
promotes safety since cars can come around this corner quickly;
o It directs foot traffic alongside the gully, where there is much lower risk of cars coming into contact with
passersby as they drive in or back out of our respective, adjoining driveways. Conversely, placing the sidewalk on
the east side of the Beard Ave block in question would create a significant hazard for anyone driving in or out of our
driveways, since it would effectively force pedestrians to traverse the zone where cars would be coming and going.
• If for some reason it is not possible or feasible to place the sidewalk on the west side of the Beard Ave block in
question, then alternatively, if the sidewalk is run along the east side of that block it should stop short of the cul-de-
sac. This would still enable pedestrians to make their way toward the foot bridge by traversing the north edge of the
cul-de-sac, which is still a reasonably safe distance from our respective driveways, and therefore it gives drivers
backing out of our homes more time to see and account for any pedestrians behind them as they back out. However,
this option is less desirable because it still forces pedestrians to cross the cul-de-sac, exposing them to the risk of
cars turning quickly into the cul-de-sac (for instance, when heading east down 55th Street the right turn into the cul-
de-sac is blinded by trees and shrubs, and cars coming south on Beard Ave can enter the cul-de-sac at a brisk speed
– both of those traffic conditions put pedestrians at risk when crossing the cul-de-sac).
• If the sidewalk needs to be placed on the East side of Beard Ave, then there is no sense in placing a sidewalk at all
within the courtyard itself. Space is already limited in the cul-de-sac, there is no practical utility to laying more
hardscape on it (directionally, people already know where they want to go), and occupying the space further with a
sidewalk only disturbs the natural setting of the courtyard as one approaches the creek.
• Finally, unrelated to the safety issues, we would like to call your attention to a water flow issue that we hope the
City can correct when performing work around Beard Court. Currently there is a slightly elevated berm along the
outer periphery of the cul-de-sac (i.e., across the north edge of the courtyard), which was intended to direct rain flow
toward the gulley just west of the courtyard that feeds into the Creek. However, in heavy rains (which we have
experienced frequently in the past several years), the berm fails to effectively divert the water toward the gulley.
Instead, we experience heavy volumes of rain water rushing over the berm toward our homes. The water tends to
pool up and lap against the wooden garage door at 5505 Beard Court, and/or carve a gulch between our two yards as
the water makes its way to the Creek. This creates damage to our landscape, grasses and plants. We would greatly
appreciate it if the City would correct this issue so that water is more effectively diverted into the gulch, thereby
reducing the damage to our homes and yards.

Margo,
I am well, thanks, and hope you are, too! It's difficult to say for certain, but I would assume that somewhere between
5-10 feet of your yard adjacent to the street will be impacted by the reconstruction. We will have a much better idea
next spring as to the specific impacts to your property, and we will give you an opportunity then to move any plants
or landscaping that you wish to save prior to construction beginning.

Hi Andrew - hope you are healthy and sane!
I’m trying to get ahead of next year’s project and begin to redo my front yard in anticipation of the city’s work.
How many feet into my yard should I expect to be torn up? If there’s any way you could take a look at my property

Aaron, Thank you for your prompt response. This summer a red paint mark and blue flag wasplaced on our property which is a curve. The blue flag probably marks the spot where thewater had to move under and across the street to 5415 Abbott Place three years ago.Does this mean we may be need a larger distance from the curb. I have six shrubs that willbe within the five foot distance. What should I expect?I expect we might need to leave the house during this construction as my husband can'ttolerate noise well. The sooner we have dates for Abbott Place, the better.Thank you,Patricia

Hello,I understand our block will have the streets etc redone next summer. I am redoing my garden and have a question. Is it true that the digging etc extendsapproximately 4 feet from the street curb onto the property? I'd so appreciate a response to this to help me in my garden planning.Thanks,Patricia Genereux5408 Abbott Pl

Joan,
Attached is our Street Reconstruction History for 2013-2017, with an added column that compares
Residential Equivalent Units per mile of project area; essentially, this is a measure of the density
within each of these project areas. By my preliminary calculations, the REUs/Mile for Creek Knoll A/B
is about 82.99. On the attached spreadsheet, I’ve highlighted in yellow the 6 previous projects that
are closest to this density.
As I’ve mentioned before, this measure of density is only one factor in determining the estimated
assessments for a project area; project size and existing soil conditions are also relevant factors. For
example, the Golf Terrace and Strachauer Park projects in 2016 had very similar density, but very
different soil conditions, which contributed to the difference in assessments.
More information will be obtained in the coming years, and property owners will be invited to more
open houses as we continue to prepare for the project.

Hi, Andrew -
I attended the Open House on 9/24 and we talked about the huge price range and
how I should prepare with the range being so large. You asked that I email you with
my address and you could provide some comps that could be more helpful. I
understand that these comps are non-binding and that there will be many other
factors impacting the final price. Nonetheless, it would be helpful to know if i have to
budget for $6000.00 or $17,000.00.
I live in the Creek Knoll Neighborhood.

Thank you for your continued patience and hard work!

Chris,
Oops. Entered 5401 Abbott into the map on accident.
We haven’t determined which side of the street the sidewalk will go on. However, it’s still likely
there will be impacts to the fence and landscaping. The fence will be salvaged and reinstalled by the
contractor, assuming the wood posts aren’t rotten. We’ll replace the landscaping at no additional
cost to you.
Thank you.

I really appreciate the quick response. Sorry to bother you with a followup question...
5410 Abbott Place is in the corner of Abbott Place and Beard Ave. My understanding is there’s a
proposed sidewalk going down Beard Ave from 54th. Would that not potentially impact the
property and fence at 5410 Abbott Place? Maybe it’s proposed to be on the other side of Beard
Ave? Thanks again Aaron. Really appreciate it.

Nothing significantly different at 5410 Abbott Place when compared to the rest of the
neighborhood. Some notes:
Special Assessments to property owners are proposed for the roadway improvements.
There are no sidewalk improvements proposed along Abbott Place.
Consider reviewing the 9/26/19 Open House presentation slides found on the project web
page. This may generate additional questions.
There will be an informational video posted to Better Together later in August, which will
include an estimated assessment range.

Josh,
Per our discussion, I'll get back to you on the sanitary sewer. Typically we only line the sanitary mains, not
reconstruct them.
As for Xcel Energy, there is no City funding source for converting overhead utilities to underground. Therefore,
property owners would be responsible for all potential associated costs. See the excerpt from Xcel Energy below in
quotes. Each wire between two utility poles is one span. It appears there are approximately 12-15 utility poles in
the area of W. 55th St.
"I talked with a few other colleagues on this, Xcel doesn’t have anything posted that has any general information on
conversion of overhead infrastructure to underground on a neighborhood scale. Considerations can be vastly
different based on terrain, existing infrastructure, necessity of procuring new easements, required carrying capacity
of infrastructure, etc. so there isn’t a good way to estimate general costs or information. I can say that in my
experience, just the costs for conversion of overhead spans of wire to underground average around $8,000 to 10,000
per span for single phase primary, and closer to $15,000 per span for three phase primary. This is before we consider
the conversion costs of infrastructure such as transformers, switchgear, etc., and also excludes conversion of
individual residential services if they are overhead. Customers converting overhead services to underground more
often than not have to work with a private electrician to verify that their meter socket is up to the current spec
(socket has a lever bypass), and convert to a lever bypass meter socket if theirs is not up to spec.
Additionally, the customers would have to coordinate with the respective communications companies on the poles to
convert their existing infrastructure from overhead to underground. I’m not sure what the costs would be from a
telecom perspective, but it’s something that should also be considered.
For neighborhood scale design projects, Xcel generally would request a retainer fee for the required design time,
which ranges from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on scale. This retainer would go towards the overall cost of the
project if customers decide to proceed with the project, but would be held if the customers opt to not move forward
after the calculation of the final project cost.

Thank you.

EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina. Do not click links or open

Hello-
We live on West 55th Street and we built our home just seven years ago. When our builder finalized the sewer line
they discovered that the street sewer line was higher than normal and we were unable to connect to the sewer
without using a lift station. We have a second sewer line that was installed and can be connected to the city sewer
line if the line is lowered upon rebuilding of the street. Will it be possible to have the line dropped so that we will
be able to eliminate the use of our lift station? Second question, is it possible to have the power lines along the
street buried as part of this project. West 55th is the only street where the power lines run in front of the houses and
not behind the houses. It also isn’t the entire street but just part of our street. Are any of these projects
incorporating buried lines? It would be great to do so since we have so many trees and are along the creek.
Thank you in advance for your help on both questions.

Yeah having the street+sidewalk total = 33 ft would be great. Or to eliminate any of the 'don’t encroach in my yard
with a sidewalk' nay-sayers, given that Beard is a super quiet street in that two block stretch and given the
challenging landmarks on either side of that street it would be even better to match the current total width of 32ft.
We all have garages and no-one ever parks on that stretch of street.

Thanks for taking a leadership role on this issue, Tim. BTW ‹ my

Good morning Jim and all-
Just a quick follow-up to the petition that Creek Knoll presented to
the council last night.
Carter Schulze - copied here - has been very helpful in answering
questions about the work that is scheduled in Creek Knoll for 2022.
As mentioned last night, our neighborhood is very supportive of this
work and hopes to move it up to 2020 or even 2019 to coincide with
neighboring Chowen Park since our Creek Knoll project is small.
One additional point - the only objection raised by some of our
neighbors is the one sidewalk slated in Creek Knoll (what a surprise!)
which will be along Beard Ave. We realize that the sidewalk is part of
the City¹s Master Plan, so we would ask that the new street+sidewalk be
only 33ft wide since it is such a quiet street and since there are
landmarks on both sides of the road that make this width the best
choice. Then land owners on either side of Beard will only have to give
up less than a foot of their lawns to make this much needed improvement.
It was great to speak after the two gentlemen did about not wanting to
look at dogs taking a poop in the dog park! Just a sign that shows
everything that you have to listen to and try to help problem solve.
You all have a high level of tolerance and it¹s appreciated.

Bob,
Good questions.
1. We recommend contacting a private contractor on the attached list to review your sanitary sewer and / or water
service. They have all worked in Edina previously. We recommend getting a couple quotes. You can ask them to
televise your service this year or next spring. You can then review the televising results with them and ask for a
recommendation.
2. Doing a repair is optional, not required. If you choose to repair, the same contractor that does the televising of
your sanitary sewer and / or water service can do the actual repair. As far as the schedule goes, it’s important to
complete the sewer service repair next year before the City installs new concrete curb and gutter. Once the existing
street pavement is recycled into gravel, its’ typically about 6-8 weeks until new curb is installed. We’ll mail you a
letter before construction begins next spring. That letter will have contact information for the project inspector.
Reach out to the inspector regarding your private contractor’s schedule.
3. West 54th Street is not a MSA street east of France Ave. It is a MSA street between Wooddale and France
Avenues.

Dear Mr. Ditzler -
I just got done reviewing all of the videos that your colleagues prepared to inform the community about this project.
I must commend you all on the thoroughness of and professionalism displayed in the presentations. But I do have a
couple of follow-up questions.
First, regarding the inspection of the storm sewer connection from the home to the storm sewer main, I live on 54th
Street in a house built in 1950. Seems to me it makes sense to have the inspection and there is a high probability
that replacement may be warranted. How do I go about getting the inspection done? Do I contract with the city?
Does the city of have an approved list of competent inspectors? What is the optimal time to have the inspection
done? ASAP?
Second, I have similar questions with respect to replacement, if that is needed. Who do I hire to do that? The
contractor doing the work on the mains? A separate contractor? If the latter, how do I coordinate this?
Third, I’m curious as to whether 54th Street is an MSA.
Finally, I believe a completed a survey on line but don’t remember at this point. Is there a way for me to check on
that?
Thank you for your time and work on our behalf. Feel free to call me with your response if you find that more
convenient.

Bob,
There's a private program called Service Line Warranty of America (SLWA). SLWA is not affiliated with the City
of Edina. The City Council endorsed the SLWA program in response to residents asking for options to avoid costly
utility line repairs when they arose.
This is an optional program and it’s completely up to you. I think it's a great idea that you contact your insurance
agent to discuss.

Mr. Ditzler -
I have a follow up question for you. About a year ago, I received a solicitation from an insurance agency offering
coverage, if I recall correctly, for underground utility connections. It seemed to imply some sort of endorsement
from the city. I’m wondering if it makes sense to pursue this given the age of my house before I have diagnostic
work done. Possibly this contingency may already be covered by a conventional homeowners policy or could be
added to it. I realize this may be out of the realm of your expertise and will check with my insurance agent but
thought any elightenment you can provide in this area would be helpful. Thanks again!

Dan,
There’s generally about 15 feet of additional City right of way on each side of the road. The contractor may use all or a
portion of this right of way for construction / storage of materials. If you can, avoid improvements in this area or they
might be impacted by construction.
We’ll maintain access to your driveway each day with the exception of when new concrete driveway aprons are
installed and potentially a few miscellaneous hours on rare occasion.
We’ll do our best to coordinate with your project to maintain efficiency.
Thank you.

Your street will still take approximately 10 weeks to pave after the asphalt has been recycled. But it’s certainly possible
the entire neighborhood reconstruction duration will be less. Many times this depends on the contractor.

Thanks Aaron. Projects would be in backyard or inside, so primarily a question of access and work
trucks/equipment/dumpster/materials being able to get to the house.
Given the smaller size of this neighborhood/project, do you anticipate that it will be a shorter time period than the
spring to fall timeframe or does that not really make a difference?

Hi Aaron -
I have a few questions related to the 2021 Creek Knoll Roadway Project. Thinking it may make sense for us to
schedule a phone call soon, but wanted to drop you a note first to get the ball rolling.
We are longtime Edina homeowners on 54th Street, which, as you know, is the dividing line between Edina and SW
Mpls. We still have a well, but over the years have considered converting to city water, which on our street
apparently would mean joining the Mpls water system. Additionally, we have a tree in our front yard that from time
to time has created root issues for the sewer, so we are considering replacing our sewer line.
Given that we are considering improvements to both our water and sewer, wondering if it would make sense to do it
when the street is torn up next year.
Do you have a few minutes on Friday afternoon to discuss? I'd like to get your feedback.
Thanks much,
Ann and Darren Merrill

Subject: Edina Sidewalk Plan - Beard Court
EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina. Do not click links or open

Hello Chad:
I reside at 5505 Beard Court, and as you may recall we spoke several weeks ago about the placement of the
sidewalk on the block of Beard Avenue S. that is just north of the Beard Court cul-de-sac (the Beard Ave block
between W 55th Street and Fuller St./Abbott Pl). In our conversation we discussed several safety-based reasons
why it would be far more appropriate to place the sidewalk on the westerly side of Beard Avenue on that block.
You requested that I provide you with a written summary of these reasons, and I am now responding to that
request. In addition, I have included on this email my neighbor, Bob Kuhlman, who resides next door at 5509
Beard Court. Bob and I share the same concerns I described to you in our call, and we agree on the preferred
placement of the sidewalk for all the reasons noted below. We also feel, regardless of what side of Beard Ave the
sidewalk is ultimately placed, that continuing the sidewalk onto the courtyard itself is neither advisable or
desirable, as explained below.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to either of us if you have questions or would like any additional information.
Thank you for your consideration, we look forward to learning your position on the issues we have raised.
Sincerely,
Sandro Garofalo and Bob Kuhlman
The footbridge crossing the Minnehaha creek just south of the Beard Ct cul-de-sac experiences a high
volume of continuous traffic, in the form of walkers, joggers, strollers, scooters, pets, bikers, rollerbladers,
etc. On weekends the flow of people heading to or from the foot bridge is often continuous.
Typically, pedestrians north of the creek approach the bridge by heading south on Beard Avenue S along
the right side of the road (i.e. the west side), or by heading east on 55th Street along the right-hand (south)
side of the road.
Placing the Beard Ave sidewalk on the west side of the road makes sense for several reasons:
It tracks with the existing foot traffic pattern and connects pedestrians to the footbridge using the
shortest possible distance;
It encourages a safer, more direct route for pedestrians to cross 55th Street on their way to the cul-
de-sac, which promotes safety since cars can come around this corner quickly;
It directs foot traffic alongside the gully, where there is much lower risk of cars coming into contact
with passersby as they drive in or back out of our respective, adjoining driveways. Conversely,
placing the sidewalk on the east side of the Beard Ave block in question would create a significant
hazard for anyone driving in or out of our driveways, since it would effectively force pedestrians to
traverse the zone where cars would be coming and going.
If for some reason it is not possible or feasible to place the sidewalk on the west side of the Beard Ave
block in question, then alternatively, if the sidewalk is run along the east side of that block it should stop
short of the cul-de-sac. This would still enable pedestrians to make their way toward the foot bridge by
traversing the north edge of the cul-de-sac, which is still a reasonably safe distance from our respective
driveways, and therefore it gives drivers backing out of our homes more time to see and account for any
pedestrians behind them as they back out. However, this option is less desirable because it still forces
pedestrians to cross the cul-de-sac, exposing them to the risk of cars turning quickly into the cul-de-sac
(for instance, when heading east down 55th Street the right turn into the cul-de-sac is blinded by trees and
shrubs, and cars coming south on Beard Ave can enter the cul-de-sac at a brisk speed – both of those
traffic conditions put pedestrians at risk when crossing the cul-de-sac).
If the sidewalk needs to be placed on the East side of Beard Ave, then there is no sense in placing a
sidewalk at all within the courtyard itself. Space is already limited in the cul-de-sac, there is no practical
utility to laying more hardscape on it (directionally, people already know where they want to go), and
occupying the space further with a sidewalk only disturbs the natural setting of the courtyard as one
approaches the creek.
Finally, unrelated to the safety issues, we would like to call your attention to a water flow issue that we
hope the City can correct when performing work around Beard Court. Currently there is a slightly elevated
berm along the outer periphery of the cul-de-sac (i.e., across the north edge of the courtyard), which was
intended to direct rain flow toward the gulley just west of the courtyard that feeds into the Creek. However,
in heavy rains (which we have experienced frequently in the past several years), the berm fails to
effectively divert the water toward the gulley. Instead, we experience heavy volumes of rain water rushing
over the berm toward our homes. The water tends to pool up and lap against the wooden garage door at
5505 Beard Court, and/or carve a gulch between our two yards as the water makes its way to the Creek.
This creates damage to our landscape, grasses and plants. We would greatly appreciate it if the City
would correct this issue so that water is more effectively diverted into the gulch, thereby reducing the
damage to our homes and yards.

backing out of our homes more time to see and account for any pedestrians behind them as they back out. However,
this option is less desirable because it still forces pedestrians to cross the cul-de-sac, exposing them to the risk of
cars turning quickly into the cul-de-sac (for instance, when heading east down 55th Street the right turn into the cul-
de-sac is blinded by trees and shrubs, and cars coming south on Beard Ave can enter the cul-de-sac at a brisk speed
– both of those traffic conditions put pedestrians at risk when crossing the cul-de-sac).
• If the sidewalk needs to be placed on the East side of Beard Ave, then there is no sense in placing a sidewalk at all
within the courtyard itself. Space is already limited in the cul-de-sac, there is no practical utility to laying more
hardscape on it (directionally, people already know where they want to go), and occupying the space further with a
sidewalk only disturbs the natural setting of the courtyard as one approaches the creek.
• Finally, unrelated to the safety issues, we would like to call your attention to a water flow issue that we hope the
City can correct when performing work around Beard Court. Currently there is a slightly elevated berm along the
outer periphery of the cul-de-sac (i.e., across the north edge of the courtyard), which was intended to direct rain flow
toward the gulley just west of the courtyard that feeds into the Creek. However, in heavy rains (which we have
experienced frequently in the past several years), the berm fails to effectively divert the water toward the gulley.
Instead, we experience heavy volumes of rain water rushing over the berm toward our homes. The water tends to
pool up and lap against the wooden garage door at 5505 Beard Court, and/or carve a gulch between our two yards as
the water makes its way to the Creek. This creates damage to our landscape, grasses and plants. We would greatly
appreciate it if the City would correct this issue so that water is more effectively diverted into the gulch, thereby
reducing the damage to our homes and yards.

Hi Aaron -
Thanks so much for your time today. Although I haven’t had any issues with my main drain, I’d like to get a
camera in there to make sure I don’t need to take action next summer when the road is torn up.
Can you send me a list of recommended companies who might do this ?
Have a great rest of the week,
Michele

Hi Chad,
After further consideration and these large numbers. I did have other questions...What is the timing
of sending communication out to the homeowners on West 55th? Was something already sent? If
so I would love to get a copy of the notification. If not no worries. That is a chunk of change and I
know I would like to get ample notice of the pending expense. What are the options for payment?
Thanks for your help gathering this information.

Michelle,
Thanks for the comments. 55th Street between France and Minnehaha Creek is scheduled for street
reconstruction in 2021. I don’t see any changes to that schedule as of now. Preliminary assessment
amounts won’t be determined until July / August of 2020. For 2020 reconstruction projects the
range of assessments is $10,000 to $33,000 per single family home or REU (residential equivalent
unit) . Typically assessments are $10,000 to $18,000 per REU but we won’t know until we get into
the details.
If you would like to discuss in more detail, please give me a call.
Thanks,
Chad

Hello Brian,
We are considering buying a property on 55th St West in Edina. Please confirm the schedule to
redo/create curb and gutter on this street is set for 2021. If so what would be the assessment for
this project for one home?
Thanks, Michelle

Hello Margo,
Thank you for submitting your request to the City of Edina. Edina’s Traffic Safety Committee will review your request for stop signs at the
intersection of Drew Ave and W 55th St. Stop signs are only designed to control vehicle right of way. If you are concerned with vehicles not
following proper right of way at this intersection and this is causing several crashes, stop signs may be warranted.
Within your request for stop signs, you mention drivers need to be reminded to slow down. Stop signs have been found to have an adverse
impact on such local streets with low-volume of traffic as drivers tend to not follow the signs and roll through them. Once drivers proceed
through stop signs, they tend to accelerate at higher speeds to make up for their lost time slowing at the stop.
If you’re ultimately concerned with vehicle speeds, there are other options that are more impactful such as narrowing the street or adding
curb-extensions. This gives drivers a smaller traveling lane and drivers slow to make sure they are more safe when closer to other vehicles
on the road.
If you wish to continue to request a stop at this intersection, please let me know and we can further discuss how the process works.
Stay well,
Nick Bauler

Hello - There is an issue I didn’t highlight in my answers below that I wish to bring to your attention.
I strongly believe there should be stop signs at the intersection of 55th and Drew Ave. S.
Cars are speeding along 55th Street in both directions. They need to be reminded to slow down.
When they travel west, they quickly turn the corner at Beard and speed toward France.
If they are coming off France traveling east, they are taking the speed off of France into the neighborhood.
We have lots of children in the neighborhood and lots of young drivers. Not a good combination.
Thank you,

Stefan,
See the excerpt from Xcel Energy below. Each wire between two utility poles is one span. It appears
there are approximately 70 utility poles in the project area.
I talked with a few other colleagues on this, Xcel doesn’t have anything posted that has any general
information on conversion of overhead infrastructure to underground on a neighborhood scale.
Considerations can be vastly different based on terrain, existing infrastructure, necessity of
procuring new easements, required carrying capacity of infrastructure, etc. so there isn’t a good way
to estimate general costs or information. I can say that in my experience, just the costs for
conversion of overhead spans of wire to underground average around $8,000 to 10,000 per span for
single phase primary, and closer to $15,000 per span for three phase primary. This is before we
consider the conversion costs of infrastructure such as transformers, switchgear, etc., and also
excludes conversion of individual residential services if they are overhead. Customers converting
overhead services to underground more often than not have to work with a private electrician to
verify that their meter socket is up to the current spec (socket has a lever bypass), and convert to a
lever bypass meter socket if theirs is not up to spec.
Additionally, the customers would have to coordinate with the respective communications
companies on the poles to convert their existing infrastructure from overhead to underground. I’m
not sure what the costs would be from a telecom perspective, but it’s something that should also be
considered.
For neighborhood scale design projects, Xcel generally would request a retainer fee for the required
design time, which ranges from $2,500 to $10,000 depending on scale. This retainer would go
towards the overall cost of the project if customers decide to proceed with the project, but would be
held if the customers opt to not move forward after the calculation of the final project cost.

To: Members of the Edina City Council and Edina Engineering Department
Date: November 16, 2020
Regarding: Creek Knoll Neighborhood Road Construction Project
The residents of Beard Avenue and Beard Court of the Creek Knoll neighborhood of Edina are
reaching out to the City Council regarding the upcoming road reconstruction project slated for April
2021. We have reviewed the construction plan and met with Aaron Ditzler, the Assistant City
Engineer, regarding the plan for Creek Knoll. Specifically, we request the City Council to remove
from the plan the installation of sidewalks for a two-block section on Beard Avenue South from
54th Street to Minnehaha Creek. We respectfully submit the attached petition to this effect which
has unanimous support from the residences on Beard Ave as well as significant support from the
surrounding Creek Knoll community to not install this sidewalk.
We believe the Creek Knoll neighborhood already embodies the principle laid out in the Edina Living
Streets project which include safety, walkability and sense of community. Below are our main points
in support of our petition:
Safety and Walkability:
We have THREE no through streets: Beard Ave dead ends into the creek and walking
bridge; Fuller dead ends into Abbott Place (also not a through street as it curves into 54th
Street); and 55th Street dead ends into Beard Ave. Any cars in the area are residents, visiting
residents, or are lost as they look for a through street.
LOW TRAFFIC VOLUME: Data from the City Engineer’s office shows that the average traffic
count on Beard is 164 cars/day (very low) with the 85th percentile speed measured at 21.3
mph (also very low). The absence of a sidewalk does not represent a safety issue.
Loss of green space: Adding a boulevard type of sidewalk will result in loss of green space from
yards, landscaping and perhaps most importantly could damage or cause the loss of some very old
trees here since the neighborhood was developed.
Neighborhood Character and Community Behavior: Our streets are alive already with families
biking, walking, playing catch, walking dogs, or catching up with neighbors without the presence of a
sidewalk. People appreciate the ability to walk side by side down the edge of the street due to the
safety and low traffic. The presence of a sidewalk will not enhance or change what has already
existed for generations.
Increased project costs: The cost of reimbursement for removal and replacement of fences, rock
and timber retaining walls, landscaping, and trees will be significant. Some of the houses that line
Beard Ave have very narrow side/front yards relative to the street.
Restricted and limited parking which is not necessary or needed.
Precedent: In at least two other neighborhoods sidewalks were not installed—the Juanita/Indianola
neighborhood, which has a similar layout as our neighborhood with no through streets and low
traffic count; and Golf Terrace, which has a much higher traffic count, but did not have sidewalks
installed.
In closing, we would like to invite the members of the City Council to come to Creek Knoll for a
COVID compliant brief “walk and talk” tour of our neighborhood on Monday morning, November
30th at 8:45 AM in front of 5405 Beard Ave S. Seeing our neighborhood first hand will help in
making an informed decision about our request. In addition, several residents of the neighborhood
will attend the virtual City Council meeting on December 7 when our neighborhood plan will be
presented by the engineering department. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Amy Barger Kennon Jaeger

SUMMARY: The project involves reconstruction of local bituminous and concrete streets,
replacement of existing concrete curb and gutter, installation of new concrete curb
and gutter, construction of new concrete sidewalk and localized rehabilitation of the
sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer systems in the neighborhood.
The estimated total project cost is $16,361,168. The estimated roadway construction
cost is $7,200,468 and will be funded through special assessments at a rate of
approximately $24,200 per residential equivalent unit (REU). Utility improvements
amount to $8,427,150 and will be funded through the City’s utility funds. Sidewalk
improvements are estimated to cost $504,892 and will be funded through the
Pedestrian and Cyclists Safety (PACS) fund. Retaining wall improvements at 5700
Hansen Road are estimated to cost $228,658 and will be funded through the
Pedestrian and Cyclists Safety (PACS) fund.
INITIATION: The project was initiated by the Engineering Department as part of the City’s
Neighborhood Reconstruction Program, identified in the Capital Improvement Plan.
The project complies with the City’s Living Streets Policy, Vision Edina’s mission
statement to “provide effective and valued public services” and “maintain a sound
public infrastructure” and the “Strong Foundations” City budget goal. This project
addresses updating substandard infrastructure with improvements associated with the
roadway condition, watermain system, storm sewer system, sanitary sewer system
and pedestrian facilities.
LOCATION: The project includes Bernard Place, Code Avenue, Dale Avenue, Eastview Drive,
Grove Street, Hansen Road, Josephine Avenue, Melody Lane, Melody Lake Drive,
Tingdale Avenue, Windsor Avenue, West 56th Street, West 57th Street, West 58th
Street and West 59th Street. A detailed location map of the project is shown in

EXISTING
CONDITIONS: Roadways
The roadways in this neighborhood were originally constructed between 1940 and
1962 (see Photo 1).
Photo 1: Melody Lake A/Grandview A Neighborhood, 1960
Maintenance records indicate seal coating was performed within a portion of the
project area in 2007; The intersection of Code Avenue and Melody Lake Drive
adjacent to Melody Lake was repaved in 2012 after installation of new storm sewer
pipes (see Existing Storm Sewer).
Approximately 60% of the streets in the neighborhood do not have concrete curb
and gutter. The roadway width ranges from 20’ to 39’ and the average roadway width
is 29’ (measured from the face of curb to the face of curb or edge of pavement). Just

over 22% of the project area has concrete streets, the majority are south of Grove
Street. A recent geotechnical evaluation of the project area performed by Braun
Intertec showed the roadway section varies from 1.75” to 9.75” of pavement over an
apparent aggregate base followed by primarily clay soils with some silty sandy soils.
As part of the City’s Pavement Management Program, all streets are regularly
evaluated and rated on a scale from 1 to 100; 100 representing a brand-new road
surface and 0 being extremely poor. This rating is referred to as the Pavement
Condition Index (PCI), and is determined based on existing conditions and defects
(alligator cracking, raveling, potholes, etc.). The average PCI for the City of Edina is
72 and the average PCI for Melody Lake A&B/Grandview A/Birchcrest C is 10. An
example of the current bituminous and concrete pavement conditions can be seen in
Photos 2 and 3, respectively.

Canadian Pacific Railway
The Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway runs through the north part of the project area
and forms part of its western boundary. Approximately two trains run on this track
per day and are operated by the Twin Cities and Wester (TC&W) Railroad. There is
a steel reinforced rubber railroad crossing on Hansen Road at the intersection of
West 56th Street. The crossing is in poor condition as referenced in Photo 4. There
are cantilever flashing lights on both sides of Hansen Road to warn approaching
vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians of approaching trains.

Traffic and Crash Data
Staff measured traffic volumes and speeds at several locations within or near the
neighborhood. Average daily traffic volumes within the neighborhood range between
109 and 2,236 vehicles per day with 85th percentile speeds between 18.5 and 36.6
miles per hour. Traffic and crash data for this project is shown in Appendix A.
Multi-Modal Transportation
Pedestrian Facilities
Sidewalk is present on the west side of Hansen Road between Vernon Avenue and
the CP Rail. The sidewalk is in poor condition and has deteriorated significantly.
Sidewalks are also present immediately adjacent to the project area on Vernon
Avenue, Benton Avenue and Hansen Road (see Appendix B).
Bicycle Facilities
There are no bicycle facilities within the project area; however, there are bike lanes
immediately adjacent to the project area on Vernon Avenue (see Appendix C).
Public Utilities
Sanitary Sewer
The sanitary sewer system consists of 9” vitrified clay pipe (VCP) installed between
1951 and 1966. Historical records indicate there have been few sewer back-ups or
blockages in the area (see Appendix D).
Watermain
The potable watermain system consists of 6” and 12” cast iron pipe (CIP) installed
between 1952 and 1956. An 8” high density polyethylene (HDPE) raw watermain was
installed along Hansen Road in 2014. The overall system has experienced a moderate
number of breaks (see Appendix D). Most of the fire hydrants are original to the
neighborhood.

Many homes in the neighborhood were constructed prior to the availability of
municipal water. Although several have had private wells properly sealed, City records
suggest some remain unsealed. Based on Utility Billing records, there is a single
property in the project area that relies on private wells for domestic water. Staff will
communicate the benefits of connecting to the City water supply to the property
owner.
Storm Sewer
The storm sewer network is in both the Nine Mile Creek and Minnehaha Creek
Watershed Districts. The system consists of 12” - 33” reinforced concrete pipe (RCP)
and 15” corrugated metal pipe (CMP) installed between 1954 and 2012. There are a
moderate amount of storm sewer inlets and pipes located within the project area.
Two stormwater runoff treatment manholes were installed in 2012 at the intersection
of Code Avenue and Melody Lake Drive.
The majority of Melody Lake A and Grandview A streets within the project area drain
to Melody Lake (and subsequently, Minnehaha Creek), while a small portion drains to
Yancey Park (and subsequently, Nine Mile Creek). The majority of Melody Lake B
and Birchcrest C streets within the project area drain to Birchcrest Lake (and
subsequently, Nine Mile Creek).
Private Utilities
Gas, electric, communications, cable and fiber optic utilities are present in the
neighborhood. These utilities are a combination of overheard and underground
facilities located in backyards or along the boulevards. Street lighting consists of
standard “cobra head” lights mounted on wooden poles located throughout the
project area as shown in Appendix E.
Hansen Retaining Wall
Just south of the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, on the west side of Hansen Road,
there is an existing multi-tiered wood retaining wall. The wall spans for approximately
375 feet and ranges in height from 2 feet to 10 feet. The wall was originally
constructed in 1984. The wall is recessed into a wooded area. Many sections of the
wall are deteriorated and have begun to show signs of failure.
DESIGN INPUT: City Council
2018 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan
This plan, part of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan, was developed to guide the City’s
efforts to create a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. As shown in
Appendix B, there is a proposed sidewalk on Hansen Road between West 60th Street
and Vernon Avenue, and on West 56th Street between Hansen Road and Code
Avenue. Appendix C shows a proposed bike lane on Code Avenue between West
60th Street and Benton Avenue.
2015 Living Streets Policy
This policy balances the needs of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders
in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create
Engineering Study
Melody Lake A&B/Grandview A/Birchcrest C Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-457
November 30, 2020

economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability and provide meaningful
opportunities for active living and better health. The City will apply the Policy to all
street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction,
reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or change in the allocation of
pavement space on an existing roadway. The Living Streets Plan includes 15 principles
to guide implementation of the Policy, divided into four categories: All Users and All
Modes, Connectivity, Context Sensitivity and Sustainability. Below is a summary of
how these principles are incorporated into this project:
All Users and All Modes – This project will improve mobility and access to the
transportation network for a variety of users, including pedestrians, cyclists, children,
seniors and the disabled. Replacement of the pavement surfaces and traffic control
signage will enhance safety and convenience for all users.
Connectivity – This project involves maintaining a transportation system that can
accommodate all modes of travel. Existing right-of-way will be repurposed to provide
new multimodal transportation facilities, which in combination with existing and
planned facilities, will form a multimodal network within the neighborhood.
Context Sensitivity – Engineering strives to preserve and protect natural features
within or adjacent to construction sites where feasible, including trees, waterways
and sensitive slopes. Residents within the project area were invited to complete a
questionnaire soliciting input on project design components, including multi-modal
transportation, street lighting and local drainage problems.
Sustainability – Engineering works closely with Public Works to implement
infrastructure improvements with consideration of lifecycle costs and future
maintenance. The new roadway section can be easily maintained long-term with the
use of proactive rehabilitation treatments, which will significantly extend the life of
the pavement. Reductions in impervious surfaces benefit water quality and may lessen
the demand for chemicals to manage snow and ice (such as chloride). Construction
operations are required to use the smallest footprint necessary to complete the work;
this includes utilizing trenchless technologies, such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place
pipe liners. This project will also reduce inflow and infiltration of clean water into the
sanitary sewer system, minimizing regional wastewater treatment, reducing the risk
of sewage surcharges, and limiting the risk of back-ups to residential properties.
Relevant portions of the Living Streets Plan can be found in Appendix F.
2018 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan
The CWRMP identified multiple areas of flood inundation within the project area for
both the 10-percent and 1-percent-annual-chance flood event (also referred to as the
10-year and 100-year frequency event, respectively). The first area is along Dale
Avenue between Grove Street and West 56th Street (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Dale Avenue Roadway and Backyard Flood Zone (ML_12)
This modeled inundation area impacts both the roadway and backyard sections of
Dale Avenue. Approximately 9.5 acres of stormwater from the neighboring
properties discharge to the City’s storm sewer system that runs along West 57th
Street, Code Avenue and eventually drains into Melody Lake. 5-7 structures on Dale
Avenue could be impacted by the 10- and 100-year flood zones.

The second area is Melody Lake Drive adjacent to Melody Lake (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Melody Lake Drive Backyard Flood Zone (ML_8)
Melody Lake and its 173-acre watershed primarily impact the backyards along lake.
The Melody Lake storm sewer outlet is pumped to the MnDOT Highway 100 drainage
system. This system flows north and ultimately discharges to Minnehaha Creek. The
1-percent and 10-percent-annual-chance events could impact the structures at 5605
and 5609 Melody Lake Drive.

The third area was at the 5700 block of Hansen Road east of the CP Railway property
(see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Hansen Road Backyard Flood Zone (NMC_119)
Two backyard depression areas collect 2.4 acres of stormwater from the neighboring
properties and do not discharge to the City’s storm sewer system. The 1-percent
and 10-percent-annual-chance events could impact the structures at 5720 and 5724
Hansen Road.

The fourth area is at the intersection of Hansen Road and West 56th Street (see Figure
5).
Figure 5: Hansen Road/W. 56th Street Flood Zone (HL_31)
This modeled inundation area primarily impacts the roadway section of West 56th
Street but could impact the structure at 5617 Hansen Road. Nearly 7 acres of
stormwater from the neighboring properties discharge to the City’s storm sewer
system that runs along Hansen Road and discharges into the pond in Yancey Park.

The fifth area is a pond and ballfield at Yancey Park (see Figure 6).
Figure 6: Yancey Park Flood Zone (HL_29b & HL_28)
These two areas are connected to the City’s storm sewer system that runs along
Warden Avenue and eventually drains into Hawkes Lake. Neither flood zone directly
impacts a structure.
Potential manhole surcharging was also identified in the 1-percent and 10-percent-
annual-chance events.

The sixth area is a backyard depression on the 5800 block of Hansen Road (see Figure
7).
Figure 7: Hansen Road Backyard Flood Zone (NMC_116)
A backyard depression area collects 1.6 acres of stormwater from the neighboring
properties and there is an adjacent public storm sewer network. The 1-percent and
10-percent-annual-chance events do not appear to impact the structures at 5804 and
5808 Hansen Road.
Staff
Public Works
A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Public Works Department.
They support installation of concrete curb and gutter, as well as replacement of
deficient watermain components (including fire hydrants, gate valves and water
services). They also recommend replacement of existing CMP storm sewer within the
project area.

Police and Fire
A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Police and Fire Departments.
The Fire Department supports watermain improvements, including adding fire
hydrants as necessary to meet public safety standards. They noted that temporary fire
hydrants should be of a consistent style for ease of access, that emergency access
should always be maintained during construction and that drive widths and turn
arounds should meet fire code.
Parks and Recreation
A draft engineering study was provided to the City’s Parks and Recreation
Department. They support improvements that promote non-motorized
transportation to and from Yancey Park, but expressed concern about parking and
traffic impacts during construction, as the park amenities are heavily used from early
spring to late summer. Engineering staff will include Parks and Recreation in
discussions about final design and will communicate with them before and during
construction to minimize impacts to park facilities.
Edina Transportation Commission
Prior to the Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) regular meeting on October
22, 2020, a draft engineering study was provided for review.
Relevant minutes from the ETC meetings are included in Appendix G.
Residents
As part of the Engineering Department’s practice of notifying residents 2-3 years prior
to a potential reconstruction project, residents were invited to three open houses
between September 2017 and September 2019. Materials from these meetings are
available upon request.
Additionally, a virtual neighborhood informational presentation was posted on Better
Together Edina in August 2020. Residents were notified of the virtual meeting and
were able to directly ask questions to staff from the Better Together Edina website,
as well as telephone and email. Materials from this presentation can be found in
Appendix I.
On June 10, 2019, residents in Melody Lake A and Grandview A, were asked to
complete a questionnaire, soliciting feedback on motorized and non-motorized
transportation, street lighting and local drainage problems within the project area.
The questionnaire was completed by 56 of 154 property owners, a return rate of
36%.
The following is a summary of feedback received from residents:
18 of 56 (32%*) were concerned or very concerned with the speed of traffic
in the neighborhood; 38 (68%) were not concerned.
25 (45%) were concerned or very concerned with motorist behavior in the
neighborhood; 31 (55%) were not concerned.
32 (57%) identified an unsafe intersection within the neighborhood.

PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENTS: The proposed improvements acknowledge many of the comments and concerns
raised by residents throughout the information gathering process, while still
maintaining the desired minimum standards of Engineering, Public Works and other
City staff.
Roadways
Typical Section
The bituminous and concrete roadway sections are proposed to be completely
reconstructed to the subgrade. The existing bituminous pavement and suitable
aggregate material will be recycled for use as base material in the new roadway where
feasible. The existing concrete pavement and aggregate base material will be removed.
A minimum of 8” of aggregate base material will be graded and compacted as the base
layer prior to placement of 2.5” of bituminous non-wear and 1.5” of bituminous wear
course.
Engineering Study
Melody Lake A&B/Grandview A/Birchcrest C Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-457
November 30, 2020
18
Unsuitable subgrade materials will be replaced as necessary to provide adequate
support for the new roadbed. Significant subgrade removals are anticipated project
wide, based on the preliminary soil boring reports prepared by Braun Intertec. The
reconstructed sections will meet the requirements of a minimum 20-year pavement
design life based on projected traffic loadings.
Hansen Road is designated as a Collector Street in the Living Streets Plan. However,
Hansen Road is no longer a Municipal State Aid route, as it was in 2014 when the
Living Streets classifications were originally created. Due to this change, it is more
appropriate for Hansen Road to be classified as a Local Connector. This
reclassification is also supported by the lack of proposed bicycle facilities along Hansen
Road, which is a key difference between the Local Connector and Collector
classifications. Per the Living Streets Plan’s design guidelines, Local Connector Streets
have a typical width of 24’ (measured from the face of curb to the face of curb) with
a 5’ sidewalk on one side.
All remaining roadways within the project area are designated as Local Streets in the
Living Streets Plan. Per this plan’s design guidelines, Local Streets have a typical width
of 27’ (measured from the face of curb to the face of curb) without sidewalks or 24’
with a 5’ sidewalk on one side. The majority of the roadways are proposed to be
reconstructed to 27’; West 56th Street between Hansen Road and Dale Avenue, is
proposed to be reconstructed to 20’ due to the proposed sidewalk (see Pedestrian
Facilities below) and narrow right-of-way (see Right-of-Way section below).
Geometric Modifications
Designated left-turn and right-turn lanes are proposed to be constructed on Hansen
Road at the 3-way intersection with Vernon Avenue. This improvement will increase
the service level of the intersection for northbound traffic by providing separate
queueing space for westbound and eastbound movements.
Parking
Per the Living Streets Plan, on-street parking should be evaluated based on
classification, adjacent land uses, existing demand and costs of construction and
maintenance. As Hansen Road is proposed to be reclassified as a Local Connector,
and given the existing demand for parking adjacent to Yancey Park, staff believes that
parking on both sides of Hansen Road between the CP Rail and Vernon Avenue is
appropriate, as well as one-sided parking on the west side of Hansen Road between
Grove Street and the CP Rail. As parking is preferred on the same side of the road
as the sidewalk for pedestrian safety, the proposed location of the parking was
determined by the location of the sidewalk (see Pedestrian Facilities section below).
Staff recommends no parking on West 56th Street between Hansen Road and Dale
Avenue given the proposed narrow street width. The existing and proposed roadway
widths, sidewalk widths and parking recommendations are shown in Table 1.

Canadian Pacific Railway
The railroad crossing surface will be replaced with an embedded concrete rubber
crossing due to its poor condition. A contractor, selected by Canadian Pacific, will
install the crossing in accordance with Federal Railroad Administration standards. The
existing railroad signal system will not be modified.
Roadway Signage
All traffic signage within the project area, including street name blades, will be replaced
to improve visibility and reflectivity (see Appendix E). All new signs will conform to
the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Multi-Modal Transportation
Pedestrian Facilities
A 5’ boulevard-style concrete sidewalk is proposed on the west side of Hansen
Road between West 60th Street and Vernon Avenue. This sidewalk will connect to
the existing sidewalks on Vernon Avenue, Benton Avenue and Hansen Road.

A 6’ edge-of-road -style concrete sidewalk is also proposed on the south side of
West 56th Street between Hansen Road and Dale Avenue. A 5’ boulevard-style
concrete sidewalk is proposed for 2021 construction on the south side of West 56th
Street between Dale Avenue and Normandale Road. This sidewalk will connect to
the proposed sidewalk on Hansen Road and to existing pedestrian facilities on
Normandale Road. Figure 8 shows all existing and proposed pedestrian facilities.
Figure 8: Existing and Proposed Pedestrian Facilities
Locations were selected by staff based on existing topography, connections to
existing facilities and private utility conflicts. The grass boulevard that will separate
the new curb and the proposed sidewalk along Hansen Road and West 56th Street,
east of Dale Avenue, will be 5’-wide, but may vary depending on construction
conflicts. The separation from vehicle traffic creates a more pedestrian-friendly
environment and is preferred by Public Works for snow storage. The extra width
needed for the sidewalk and boulevard will be balanced between both sides of the
street, where feasible. The sidewalk on West 56th Street east of Code Avenue will
be retrofitted behind the concrete curb and gutter within the available right-of-way.
No boulevard will exist between the new curb and the proposed sidewalk along
West 56th Street between Hansen Road and Dale Avenue due to the narrow right-
of-way and existing conflicts.

All adjacent pedestrian curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet the current design
standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and portions of the existing
sidewalk will be reconstructed as necessary. The Hansen Road sidewalk adjacent to
Yancey Park will be maintained by City staff, including snow plowing. As the
remaining sidewalk segments are not along Municipal State Aid routes, adjacent to
City property nor included in the City’s Active Routes to School Plan, they will be
maintained by the adjacent property owners.
Bicycle Facilities
As previously mentioned, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan recommends bike
lanes on Code Avenue between Benton Avenue and West 60th Street. All the local
streets south of the project area were reconstructed between 2015 and 2017 with
no bicycle facilities, and Benton Avenue is not anticipated to receive bicycle facilitates
in the next 5 years. Since bike lanes on these two blocks of Code Avenue would not
connect to any other bicycle facilities in the neighborhood, they are not proposed to
be constructed as part of this project.
Public Utilities
Sanitary Sewer
The sanitary sewer main has been televised, and portions will be repaired using a
combination of open cut and cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) methods. These repairs will
address the issues of sags, cracks and groundwater infiltration into the sewer main.
The manhole castings will also be removed and replaced to reduce inflow and
infiltration of stormwater.
Watermain
Echologics, LLC was hired by the City to perform a non-invasive pipe condition
assessment on the watermain within the project area, and staff has reviewed historical
break data to determine the extent of improvements needed. All of the existing
watermain, except for the 12” DIP from West 60th Street to Grove Street, will be
replaced using a combination of pipe bursting, lining and open cut methods. Water
service leads connected to replaced watermain will be replaced as well. All gate valves
and fire hydrants within the project area will be replaced and, if needed, additional
hydrants will be installed to meet current public safety standards. The new fire
hydrants will include the Storz nozzle fittings desired by the Edina Fire Department
for quick connection of fire hoses.
As part of the City’s Wellhead Protection Plan, staff plans to engage property
owners who have unsealed private wells and encourage them to have them properly
sealed.
Storm Sewer
Based on existing conditions and the scope of utility work, new concrete curb and
gutter will be installed throughout the project, providing a continuous, functional
conduit for stormwater. The storm sewer network will have modifications to resolve
existing drainage issues at various locations throughout the neighborhood. Some of
the existing structures will be removed and replaced due to their poor condition.
Sump drains will be installed where feasible to allow property owners to connect
their sump pump discharges directly into the storm sewer system.

Melody Lake A&B/Grandview A/Birchcrest C Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-457
November 30, 2020

The 2018 Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan recommended that
the storm sewer system be upgraded to protect the structure at 5701 Dale Avenue
from flooding during the 100-year frequency storm event. Staff is evaluating the
feasibility of upsizing the existing pipe between Dale Ave and Code Ave.
Staff will communicate and coordinate with adjacent property owners as necessary.
Private Utilities
Staff met with representatives of several private utility companies on October 28,
2020 to discuss the proposed 2021 reconstruction projects and preliminary
improvements. Portions of the private utility networks may receive upgrades prior to
construction; however, this work is not part of the City’s project. Currently, the City
does not have a standard to determine where and when street lighting should be
improved. Unlike other infrastructure improvements, lighting can be installed at a later
date with minimal disturbance through the use of trenchless technologies. The lighting
in the neighborhood is sufficient to delineate the intersections; therefore, staff is
recommending no revisions to the current street lighting.
Hansen Road Retaining Wall
Staff has determined that due to the wall condition and to accommodate the proposed
boulevard and walk along Hansen Road, the existing Hansen Road retaining wall will
need to be replaced. Staff has retained Gale-Tec Engineering, Inc to provide
replacement wall design options. Three options were provided and evaluated. Based
on lower wall costs and lack of wall visibility, Staff proposes that a hybrid Geogrid
Reinforced Big Block Wall and Reinforced Soil Slope be constructed to replace the
existing wall. Gale-Tec Engineering, Inc’s full report can be viewed in Appendix K.
RIGHT-OF-WAY/
EASEMENTS: Existing right-of-way in this neighborhood varies from 40’ to 60’. It is anticipated that
the majority of this project can be constructed within existing ROW. Many properties
have vegetation, boulders or other landscaped items within the right-of-way. A
portion of these landscape items will interfere with some of the proposed
infrastructure improvements and will need to be removed to complete the necessary
work.
A ROW permit from Hennepin County will be required for work that will occur at
Hansen Road and Vernon Avenue.
CP Railway signed separate permit agreements with the City that authorized the
installation and maintenance of storm sewer and raw watermain within CP Railway
right-of-way in 1984 and 2014, respectively. The City and CP Railway must enter into
a new permit agreement to improve the existing 12” CIP watermain within CP Railway
right-of-way. A ROW permit from CP Railway will be required for roadway and
crossing surface work that will occur at Hansen Road and West 56th Street.

ASSESSMENTS: Assessments will be levied against the benefiting adjacent properties pursuant to
Chapter 429 of the Minnesota State Statues. Based on the City’s Special Assessment
Policy, there are 297.54 roadway residential equivalent units (REUs) in the Melody
Lake A&B / Grandview A / Birchcrest C project area. The estimated assessment per
REU is $24,200 (see Figure 9). The preliminary assessment role can be found in
Appendix L.
Figure 9: Preliminary Roadway Assessment Map
All single-family residential properties located entirely within the project area receive
an assessment of 1 REU, except for the properties shown in the tables below.
There are 33 single-family residential properties located in the project limits that
have been previously assessed a partial REU or are corner lots with an adjacent
street that will be assessed with a future project. Tables 3 & 4 show their REU
calculations based on the City’s assessment policy.

2. Living Streets Policy
INTRODUCTION
The Living Streets Policy was developed to provide the framework for a Living Streets Plan. The policy
initially stood alone and included sections to guide the creation of the Living Street Plan. This revised
policy is now an integral part of the Living Streets Plan.
The Living Streets Policy ties directly to key community goals outlined in the City’s 2008 Comprehensive
Plan. Those goals include safe walking, bicycling and driving; reduced storm water runoff, reduced energy
consumption, and promoting health. The Living Streets Policy also compliments voluntary City initiatives
such the “do.town” effort related to community health, Tree City USA and the Green Step Cities programs
related to sustainability. In other cases, the Living Streets Policy will assist the City in meeting mandatory
requirements set by other agencies.
The Living Streets Policy is broken up into three
parts: Vision, Principles and Implementation. The
Policy is followed by a description of core services
provided by the City of Edina that are related to or
implemented in part through Living Streets.
POLICY
Living Streets balance the needs of motorists,
bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community
identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability, and provide meaningful
opportunities for active living and better health. The Living Streets Policy defines Edina’s vision for Living
Streets, the principles Living Streets will embody, and the plan that will guide implementation of their
construction.
LIVING STREETS VISION
Edina is a place where ...
• Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible;
• Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike;
• Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity;
• Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity;
• Public policy strives to promote sustainability through balanced infrastructure investments;
• Environmental stewardship and reduced energy consumption are pursued in public and private
sectors alike; and
• Streets support vibrant commerce and add to the value of adjacent land uses.
Mini Fact
Expect cyclists on the road. Watch for
cyclists on the road. Treat them as you
would any slow-moving vehicle.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

LIVING STREETS PRINCIPLES
Fifteen principles guide implementation of the Living Streets Policy in the areas of all users and all
modes, connectivity, context sensitivity and sustainability. The City will incorporate these principles when
planning for and designing the local transportation network and when making public and private land use
decisions.
All Users and All Modes
Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of
the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and
the disabled; and
Principle 2: Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while
enhancing safety and convenience for all users.
Connectivity
Principle 3: The City designs, operates and maintains a transportation system that provides
a highly connected network of streets that accommodate all modes of travel;
Principle 4: The City seeks opportunities to overcome barriers to active transportation by
preserving and repurposing existing rights-of-way and adding new rights-
of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit;
Principle 5: The City prioritizes improvements to non-motorized connections to key
destinations such as public facilities, public transit, the regional transportation
network and commercial areas;
Principle 6: The City will require new developments to provide interconnected street and
sidewalk networks that connect to existing or planned streets or sidewalks
on the perimeter of the development; and
Principle 7: Projects will include consideration of the logical termini by mode. For
example, the logical termini for a bike lane or sidewalk may extend beyond the
traditional limits of a street construction or reconstruction project, in order to
ensure multimodal connectivity and continuity.
Context Sensitivity
Principle 8: Living Streets are developed with input from stakeholders and designed to
consider neighborhood character and promote a strong sense of place;
Principle 9: Living Streets preserve and protect natural features such as waterways, urban
forest, sensitive slopes and soils;
Principle 10: Living Streets are designed and built with coordination between business and
property owners along commercial corridors to develop vibrant commercial
districts;
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy
10
Principle 11: Living Streets coordinate with regional transit networks and regional
authorities; and
Principle 12: The City will consider the fiscal context of projects and potential financial
impacts when implementing Living Streets at the project level.
Sustainability
Principle 13: Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public,
Principle 14: Living Streets will reduce environmental impacts associated with the
construction and operation of roadways; and
Principle 15: The City will increase the life span and resilience of its infrastructure and will
build infrastructure with consideration for lifecycle costs and ease
of maintenance.
LIVING STREETS IMPLEMENTATION
The City of Edina will develop Living Streets in the regular course of business of maintaining, expanding
or redeveloping the road network and will be guided by the Vision and Principles established above.
Implementation will happen predominantly through the neighborhood street reconstruction program, but
also though specific stand-alone stormwater utility, pedestrian, bicycle or safety projects.
Project prioritization is not specifically part of the Living Streets Plan. Prioritization of projects takes
place in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and Budget and is determined by the City Council with
guidance from the Living Streets Vision and Principles.
The City will actively promote and apply the Living Streets Policy and Plan by:
• Applying the Living Streets Policy and Plan to all street projects, including those involving
operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or
changes in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. This also includes privately
built roads, sidewalks, paths and trails.
• Drawing on all sources of transportation funding and actively pursuing grants, cost-sharing
opportunities and other new or special funding sources as applicable.
• Through all City departments supporting the vision and principles outlined in this Plan in their
work.
• By acting as an advocate for Living Streets principles when a local transportation or land use
decision is under the jurisdiction of another agency.
Projects that implement Living Streets will be guided by pedestrian and cyclist network plans and roadway
classifications and will consider the physical, social, ecologic, regulatory and economic context in a given
project area.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy
11
The project delivery system used to build Living Streets will:
• Systematically engage Edina residents and project stakeholders to better inform project-level
recommendations.
• Keep Edina residents and project stakeholders informed about Living Streets and the range of services
they help provide.
• Follow minimum Living Streets design requirements and standards.
• Manage construction impacts to residents and users of streets.
Network
The creation of a Living Streets network of road, pedestrian and bicycle facilities provides mobility,
accessibility and access to people, places and spaces. The resulting interconnection of neighborhoods links
people to goods and services and to one another, and increases quality of life for those who live in, work
in, or visit the city.
Existing and planned transportation networks are identified in the City of Edina Comprehensive Plan and
other approved/adopted plans. Network plans include:
• Roadway Network (Functional Classification, Jurisdictional Classification)
• Sidewalk Facilities
• Bicycle Facilities (Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan)
• Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan
• Transit Service
Network plans are approved by the City Council. In most cases, modification requires an amendment of
the Comprehensive Plan.
The expansion, creation and improvement of pedestrian and bicycle networks will be well planned and
prioritized:
• Expansion of existing networks and providing connections to key traffic generators or destinations
provide immediate benefit to all network users and is a top priority.
• Network connections serving vulnerable users such as children, seniors and the disabled are a top
priority.
• Network connections serving high-volume uses such as schools, retail destinations or regional
public transit are a top priority.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Context
Contextual variety can either constrain or create opportunity in roadway and other infrastructure
projects. The following are contexts that will be considered and will influence the planning, design and
implementation of Living Streets.
Exceptions
Living Streets principles will be included in all street construction, reconstruction, repaving and
rehabilitation projects, except under one or more of the conditions listed below. City staff will document
proposed exceptions as part of a project proposal.
• A project involves only ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable
condition, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair or pothole filling,
or when interim measures are implemented on a temporary detour. Such maintenance activities,
however, shall consider and meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians.

• The City exempts a project due to an excessively disproportionate cost of establishing a bikeway,
walkway or transit enhancement as part of a project.
• The City determines that the construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because
of significant or adverse environmental impacts to waterways, flood plains, remnants or native
vegetation, wetlands or other critical areas.
• Available budget is constrained or project timing allows more efficient construction at a later date.
Engagement
Members of the public have an interest in understanding and providing input for public projects. Project
recommendations will be developed with a transparent and defined level of public engagement. The
public will have access to the decision-making process and decision makers via public meetings and
other correspondence and will be provided the opportunity to give input throughout the process. Project
reports will discuss how their input helped to influence recommendations and decisions. The City of
Edina’s Living Streets will continue to engage and solicit public input as a vital component of the project
implementation process. See Chapter 5 for a more detailed discussion regarding the purpose of and
opportunities for public engagement.
Design
The guidelines contained in the Living Streets Plan will be used to direct the planning, funding, design,
construction, operation and maintenance of new and modified streets, sidewalks, paths and trails. The
guidelines allow for context-sensitive designs.
The Design Guidelines (see Chapter 6):
• Keep street pavement widths to the minimum necessary.
• Provide well-designed pedestrian accommodation in the form of sidewalks or shared-use
pathways on all arterial, collector and local connector streets. Sidewalks shall also be required
where streets abut a public school, public building, community playfield or neighborhood park.
Termini will be determined by context.
• Provide frequent, convenient and safe street crossings. These may be at intersections designed to
be pedestrian friendly, or at mid-block locations where needed and appropriate.
• Provide bicycle accommodation on all primary bike routes.
• Allocate right-of-way for boulevards.
• Allocate right-of-way for parking only when necessary and not in conflict with Living Streets
principles.
• Consider streets as part of our natural ecosystem and incorporate landscaping, trees, rain gardens
and other features to improve air and water quality.
The Design Guidelines in this Plan will be incorporated into other City plans, manuals, rules, regulations
and programs as appropriate. As new and better practices evolve, the City will update this Living Streets
Plan. Minimum standards will guide how vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle networks interact and share
public right of way.

Benchmarks and Performance Measures
The ability to measure the performance of a plan, as well as knowing that it is functioning as it is intended,
is vitally important to overall success and the ability to sustain it. With this in mind, the City will monitor
and measure its performance relative to the Living Streets Policy. Benchmarks that will demonstrate
success include:
Every street and neighborhood is a comfortable place for walking and bicycling.
This does not mean that every street in the city will have walking and biking facilities. It means that each
neighborhood will provide a network of these facilities such that walking and biking to and through
neighborhoods is a comfortable experience.
Every child can walk or bike to school or a park safely.
It is essential that alternatives to driving to school or parks be provided to children and their caregivers.
These alternatives – walking or bicycling – will be both safe and convenient modes of transportation. See
the Edina Active Routes to School Plan for more information.
Seniors, children, and disabled people can cross all streets safely and comfortably.
Opportunities to cross all streets in Edina, including local, collectors and arterial streets, will be provided.
These crossings will be safe and comfortable for all users, regardless of age or ability.
An active way of life is available to all.
Opportunities for active living should be made available to all members of the Edina community by
connecting centers of activity via active, multimodal transportation. Each resident of and visitor to Edina
will have the ability to lead an active way of life.
There are zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries.
Perhaps the ultimate safety benchmark is zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Modeled from the Vision
Zero Initiative (www.visionzeroinitiative.com), an aspirational yet primary goal of Living Streets is to
achieve this high level of safety on the City’s roadways.
Reduce untreated street water flows into local waterways and reduce storm water volume.
Cost-effective stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are strategically selected to go above and
beyond regulatory requirements to provide for flood protection and clean water services through the use of
infrastructure that retains, settles, filters, infiltrates, diverts or reduces the volume of stormwater that flows
to local surface waters.
Retail streets stay or become popular regional destinations.
Part of Edina’s Living Streets vision is that “streets support vibrant commerce.” While most of the city’s
streets are residential, Edina’s business districts are a vital part of the community. The benefits of Living
Streets extend to retail streets as well, making them more attractive to businesses and consumers alike.
Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy
15
The City will draw on the following data to measure performance:
• Number of crashes or transportation-related injuries reported to the Police Department.
• Number and type of traffic safety complaints or requests.
• Resident responses to transportation related questions in resident surveys.
• Resident responses to post-project surveys.
• The number of trips by walking, bicycling and transit (if applicable) as measured before and after
the project.
• Envision ratings from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure.
• Additional performance measures may be identified as this Policy is implemented.

Motorists must stop behind all
crosswalks.

engineering studies for the proposed 2021 roadway reconstruction projects. The following comments
were made:
• Melody Lake A&B/Grandview A/Birchcrest C
o In response to a question, staff clarified that the proposed 5’ sidewalk width for
Hansen Road is the City’s standard sidewalk width.
o In response to a question, staff explained that bike lanes on Code Avenue are not
proposed as part of this project as the neighborhood to the south was recently
reconstructed without bike lanes and Benton Avenue does not yet have a dedicated
bike facility.
o In response to a question, staff noted that no pedestrian or bicycle facility is
proposed adjacent to Tingdale Park.
o Tingdale Avenue connects between Melody Lake Park and Tingdale Park.
Draft Minutes☐
Approved Minutes☒
Approved Date: November 19, 2020
o In response to a question, staff noted that a proposed shared-use path is anticipated
for Benton Avenue in the next 5 years.
o A bike facility should be considered for Hansen Road to connect to Yancey Park.
o The proposed 27’ street width only provides one travel lane if vehicles are parked
on both sides; this is not in the benefit of safety.
o In response to a question, staff explained that a topographic survey was conducted
within the project area to aid in designed the project and that presentations were
provided to property owners within the project area.
• Creek Knoll A/B
o The City should consider upgrading the pedestrian bridge over Minnehaha Creek at
Beard Avenue to be ADA-compliant as part of a future reconstruction project in
the neighborhood south of the creek.
o In response to a question, staff noted they have discussed the proposed sidewalk on
Beard Avenue with the property owner of 3501 West 54th Street. It was noted that
the house at this property is very close to the property line.
o In response to a question, staff noted that a proposed sidewalk on the east side of
France Avenue between Fuller Street and West 57th Street may be included with
the reconstruction project or may be constructed as a separate project in the same
year.

#PLEASE COMMENT ON THE TYPES PROBLEMS YOU HAVE:DATE
1 Our driveway (5616 Melody Lake Drive) has a very low grade from the garage to the street, so low
that we worry if the new road is higher water will back up into our house. We've discussed this
with street surveyors and via email with Aaron at the city. Also, to complicate matters, several of
our neighbor's yards drain significantly into ours and out our driveway in the spring.
8/25/2019 11:14 AM
2 We are concerned about the damage your plan would do to our water & gas mains and the
damage to our curbs and the damage to our property generally. I understand that your plan would
an assess us with a BIG tax bill for this!

4 Corner of code & MLDR - going into the pond.7/10/2019 9:45 AM
5 I have a flat lot & in ground basement. Sump pump added 30 years ago which keeps house dry.7/10/2019 9:42 AM
6 We have standing water at the end of our driveway that continues to deteriorate our driveway and
our front lawn. The water is minimal 6 feet in length each rainfall.
7/4/2019 11:14 AM
7 our property is the lowest in our area, our neighbors rain / snow run into ours - back yard only 7/3/2019 6:21 AM
8 I think the city already knows as it's really a part of the street and not my property. The issue is the
snow melt or heavy rain as it drains downward on Melody Lake Drive from Code and the erosion
that occurs.
6/25/2019 8:12 AM
9 We have some flooding in our backyard with standing water. The location of our house means that
much of the water from the higher elevated homes flow through our yard to get to Melody Lake.
This causes issues with standing water in our backyard (our basement has not flooded yet) and
severe problems with ice build up in the late winter/ early spring problems. The ice builds up on
our driveway and street, making it difficult to drive.
6/17/2019 3:05 AM
10 Sump pump runs constantly in wet weather. The old timers in the neighborhood claim an
underground stream runs through the property.

4 People drive thru Hansen & Benton all the time. Or roll thru barely stopping. In Garden Park, young
drivers are often doing donuts, goofing off, buying drugs, smoking and drinking in the woods, etc.
It gets scary when they get out on Hansen & gun it up to Benton. Also the intersection of Hansen
& W56th street is quite scary. Granted it is hard to see from W56th street onto Hansen, but drivers
often pull right out onto Hansen. Many drivers going north on Hansen turn right onto W56th
without signaling or slowing down. W56th street is very narrow and people drive very fast along
there. My biggest concern with that is my son no longer gets picked up by the bus in front of our
house. Now he has to walk to W56th street & Bernard place to catch the bus. I'm very concerned a
driver won't see him in the early hours or during rain or snow. It seems like an accident waiting to
happen.

grading issue resulting in standing water in back yard with heavy rains
Standing water in my backyard and side yard after major rains & spring snow
melt
Spring snow melt causes our sump pump to operate heavily each year for 4-
5 weeks
Grading isn't great in front of front door, some standing water occasionally on
the benton side
It's not really an issue and I've never personally had a problem yet (knock on
wood) ince a previous owner installed drain tile and sump pump but it is still
something that is on my mind.
Standing water in a flat area below a hillside whenever there’s a hard rain.
Especially bad in the spring.
The street area adjacent to edge of our driveway (and into our driveway)
always fills with water after a significant rain or snowmelt. We call it "Lake
Eastview" as the pool of water collects and has nowhere to drain to.
curb is not high enough, so road water flows onto and down our driveway

speeding down W 60th St @ times
Very concerned about the speed on Tingdale Ave across from Tingdale Park.
You can’t see the park until you too close. The park is very busy with young
children.
People drive fast on straight roads. It occurs on every straight road in Melody
Lakes
5908 Hansen Road- People speed up and down the hill
5300 Benton Ave. Lack of stop signs, wide roads allow for people to
accelerate through this area without regard for pedestrian traffic.
Grove St. west of Melody Lake park people cut through to Hanson at very
high speed.
Near Tingdale and Benton, some cars pick up speed after making their turn.
We have little kids that play on our driveway sometimes next to the that
intersection.
Code Ave., between 60th and Benton. We often observe cars roaring up or
down the hill in front of our house.
Our short 1-block segment of road, Eastview Dr, is used as a cut through.
Speeds are frequently higher than appropriate for a purely residential street.
Hansen Road near Garden park- motorists go extremely fast, probably
because it's a cut through street. My kids walk to that park and the only easy
way to get there is on Hansen. There is no sidewalk on portions of Hansen,
cars can park on either side of the street and are often not in the middle of
the road as well. Roads and rules are not well marked.
5724 hansen road. constantly seeing cars drive 30MPH. Grove street is a T
onto Hansen.. all winter we see cars slide down Grove street onto Hansen
Road hoping that oncoming traffic on hansen doesnt hit them
People coming from the West on Benton Ave go to fast and also the stop
sign in both directions at Tingdale and Benton, people fly through it without
thinking of stopping. On average, we see probably 30-35% of people stop.
Q4 If concerned or very concerned, please enter the location(s) of concern and why you feel
that way.

Corner of Hansen Rd & Benton Ave. 4-way stop intersection of two fairly
busy roadways, however no sidewalks, many drivers blow through stop, and
a residential area with yards right up to edge of the street.
Since there is no stop sign or speed bump between Benton and Vernon there
are an excessive number of speeders (not just cars) going North down the hill
from Benton. There are also speeders going South from Vernon to Benton
but not quite as frequent. My understanding is that Hansen is a County Road
and an alternate emergency route for emergency vehicles but something
really needs to be done.
Many people speed between On Tingdale ave between Benton and Grove as
they perceive there are very few residential driveways on that stretch of road.
Tingdale Ave adjacent/along Tingdale Park. Many, many kids and families
are present and vehicles frequently drive too fast with no regard to people in
or near the park.
Grove Street - cars come flying through the intersection of Grove and Dale
and there is no stop sign for the Grove traffic. Hanson has no sidewalk - it is
also heavily used with lots of fast cars. It needs a sidewalk from Garden Park
to Benton Ave so kids can safely traverse the neighborhood.
Tingdale & 59th run along the side of Tingdale Park so kids are riding their
bikes to/from or running to the park. If either of those streets get narrowed
and cars are parked on the curb, it will create a very dangerous situation.

A lot of people use our road as a shortcut to 62
Non-residents use this street to cut through our neighborhood for access to
major roads. Because they don’t live here, they have little regard for speed
limits and pedestrian traffic. 5300 Benton Ave.
Lots of cars cutting through from benton to Hanson
Too many people cut through neighborhood during rush hour traffic.
See response above (Hansen & Benton) - many drivers use these roads as a
cut through to avoid traffic on crosstown 62 and hwy 100.
The number of waste trucks on garbage day is out of control!!! We need
ONE garbage service provider and reduce the dozens of trucks on our
streets each week. Ridiculous.
Because of the lack of traffic signs or signals I have concerns when I'm
walking (daily) and my children biking.
See answer to #3 - corner of Benton and Hanson very busy, and no sidewalk
on Hanson or Benton make it hard for kids to traverse the neighborhood
safely. Volume and Speed apply to this stretch of Hanson between Garden
Park and Benton, and the intersection of Benton and Hansen.
Tingdale & 59th as both run along side Tingdale Park - see answer above.

rolling stops at Benton & Tingdale; some people totally run the stop sign on
Benton
Lots of people blow through stop sign on Benton at Tingdale.
People speed on Tingdale. We’ve always worried about the kids in the park,
walkers, joggers etc.
People tend to roll through the stop signs at the intersection of Benton and
Hansen. Bicyclists also NEVER stop at the stop signs along Benton Ave.
See comment above re:speed
Benton and Hansen is a pretty busy intersection and people speed through
5300 Benton Ave. speed is the largest issue. People aggressively drive on
this street as a short cut to other roads.
They speed on our street
Above average loud music/honking at the benton/Hansen intersection
The intersection of Tingdale Ave & Benton Ave, cars run the stop signs
driving along Benton Ave all of the time. Some speed up as they approach
the stop sign.
Question 8 has an invalid answer. I am NOT concerned with motorist
behavior and we drive/walk our neighborhood constantly for the past two
decades. However, I had to select an answer to continue so that caused a
bad response :(
Same as response above: often see motorists speeding in front of our house
on Code Ave., between 60th and Benton.

traffic do not stop at these stop signs.
See response above (Hansen & Benton)
drivers constantly roll right through the four way stop at Benton and Tingdale.
Mainly the cars on Benton.
Besides the excessive speed we also see many motorists don't pay much
attention to the 4 way stop at Hansen and Benton and we're surprised there
hasn't been more accidents there. An additional concern are the bikers who
very rarely comply with the stop signs either. I also notice daily people
looking at or talking on their phones.
The Benton Ave/ Tingdale intersection is notorious for drivers simply rolling
through or not slowing down at the stop signs at all!!
At the Tingdale/Benton 4 way stop intersection people rarely stop and
frequently blow through the intersection. Some hardly even slow down.
Drivers roll through the 3-way stop at Normandale Rd & Benton Ave. or do
not take turns (the corners at the intersection are so far apart, they don't want
to wait for people to go). Drivers also roll through the stop sign at Benton Ave
& Tingdale Ave. making exiting off Eastview Dr onto Benton Ave difficult
during rush hours. It also makes it hard to walk across Benton Ave.
Same issue - speed and no sidewalk in key parts of neighborhood.
Excessive speed and rolling through the stop sign at Tingdale and Benton.

Benton and Hansen
Benton Avenue and Bernard Place
Two Different Intersections: Intersection of Benton Ave & Benard Pl. Primarily
turning east/left from Benard Place onto Benton (obstruction due to tree and
often parked cars and Benton has faster moving vehicles). Intersection of
Code Ave & 56th. For those cars at stop sign on 56th facing west, unable to
see cars traveling North on Code Ave (due to large hill). Suggestion would be
a 4-way stop.
The corner of Bernard Place and Benton, heading south on Bernard Place.
There is a significant blind spot looking east because of overgrown bushes
and a power line pole.
Tingdale Ave & Benton Ave
Code and Benton for school age kids who catch the bus there.

Normandale Rd & Benton Ave
The bridge over Tracy Ave and 62W intersection crossing the road (Hanson
Rd) over Tracy Ave. Very busy during school morning and afternoons,
especially in the winter, cars sit and create black ice. In normal times it can
feel like a very scary place to cross.
Hanson/Benton (no sidewalk) Dale/Grove (no stop sign for cars traveling on
Grove)
Exit off 100 and Benton
turning onto Benton from side streets with no stop sign
59th and Code - there are shrubs on the north east corner that make the
sight lines difficult.

Sidewalks. Stop signs. Reduced speed limits.
Sidewalk on Hansen rd
More sidewalks or dedicated trails
Sidewalks
None. We don't need a sidewalk to exercise. When we want a path, we go to
Bredesen.
We certainly don't need a sidewalk on Eastview
reconstruction projects will not cause us or others to exercise more.
Add a sidewalk, but still need to address stop sign at Benton-Tingdale
intersection. Change to a lighted stop sign. Something to draw attention to all
drivers.
More sidewalks!
I would LOVE a sidewalk on Benton, so we could walk to school.
Lack of sidewalks. Traffic doesn’t slow down.
Add sidewalks where ever possible, improve the street in front of my house.

A sidewalk on one side of the street and a bike path on the other for Benton
Ave could allow for more bike traffic. Reducing speed limits would also make
the area more bike friendly.
Smoother roads
Bike lanes
Our five kids ride/have ridden bikes in the neighborhood for two decades
without problems or concerns other than completely avoiding Benton Avenue
where there isn't a sidewalk.
Safe bike lanes
We certainly don't need a bike path on Eastview
minimize hills
horrible pot holes all over our neighborhood. fix those. No need for millions of
dollars for special side walks for bike riding. lets not overcomplicate things
and force a hand full of households to have to pay for sidewalks that
everyone else uses
Add a bike lane.
Improved road conditions would make biking easier. There are many cracks
in the roads nearby my house.
Connection to the bikeway at Bredeson Park.
Fear of traffic not seeing me- they drive too fast.
Keep roads clear of sand and other debris to avoid slipping on bikes.
Q19 If you don't ride a bicycle in your neighborhood as often as you would like, what

Since our street is only one-sided parking, it can get congested and on-street
parking in front of our home can be unavailable.
Traffic speeds on Benton Ave are too high to comfortable park on the street.
no
I am VERY concerned with the possibility of the streets narrowing. Thankfully
our kids are all older now but the reduced visibility around parked cars is
significant on the narrower streets, where ours has always felt very open and
safe. People can swing around a parked car with lots more margin for safety.
We wish on-street parking was not allowed overnight during the whole year.
I prefer if people do not park in the street for long periods of time. Visiting is
fine but everyday is annoying and over night is annoying. Constant on street
parking makes the street too narrow and less safe.
please don't create special cut outs for street parking.
Street parking is only on the West side of the street but people always park
on the East side also but the no parking is never enforced. What is that?
some of the neighbors park in the street daily (59th) and if it gets narrowed it
could create safety issue for kids going to the park.
Not sure street is wide enough
House behind us has insufficient space, so they park against pit side yard
and sometimes go into the yard.
Q23 Any additional comments about parking?

The concrete street in front of house is in good shape. Seems like a waste to
tear it up.
The streets are in horrible condition. The City should be embarrassed that it
let the streets get so bad. Please make better plans for the future!
I would love if power/cable lines could be put underground.
The households on our street have always been active and have lots of
visitors, so even though we are only a block long there are often a lot of cars.
We have never felt our kids were unsafe in the front yard or on the street
with their bikes and have relatively little thru traffic since there isn't really a
reason for it. Our only concern is a narrower road that turns it into a one-lane
street that allows little margin for error when passing kids on bikes or going
around parked cars. Wyman Ave north of the 62 bridge is terrible with the NB
lane turned into a parking space that often has a vehicle in it and only
enough room to get one car through.
Storm drainage is not a significant issue, and would think a blended concrete
apron would be as good as, and cheaper, and more aesthetically pleasing,
than curb.
fix the curbs and the horrible pavement and everyone will be happy. add a
stop sign to grove and hansen road intersecton
A sidewalk on our street would be welcome!!

Date:Friday, September 29, 2017 3:19:37 PM
Hello Mr. Schulze
I was not able to attend the Monday meeting but wonder if you could respond to some
questions. I live on Bernard Pl in Melody Lake Area
1. Am I correct that the Melody Lake project will be in 2020. Any chance that could
change?
2.How are the individual property assessments calculated?
3. Some of the existing roadway is concrete and some is asphalt. Will these
properties be assesed the same?
4.Do the residents have a choice on contractors or do you just take the lowest bid. ?
i.e. the contractor who did the eastern section of Melody Lake (Code to Frontage
road) a few years ago did a very poor job and took forever .
5. Some projects seem to take a very long time - i.e. Birchcrest this year. Others that I
have seen in past years only take 3 months. Why do some take so long and is there
anything residents can do to help speed the process.?
6. How does the city monitor communication between contractor and residents. I have
heard some very good reports and some awful situations.?
7. I don't have gutters now. Do I assume gutters will be placed on all streets or is this
subject to vote. I have lived at this address for 43 yards and have no problems being
gutterless?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello-
I am an Edina resident and have lived at 5213 Grove Street for 19 years and wanted
to reach out regarding the proposed construction project for the Melody Lakes
neighborhood.
My concern is regarding the split of our neighborhood for the upcoming road
construction project that would result in significant construction in our neighborhood
for TWO consecutive summers. I live near the corner of Grove & Code and the
proposal shows Grove Street as the dividing line so the roads across the street on
Code would be under construction in 2020 and Grove Street would be completed in
2021.
As a long time Edina resident, I have visited family and friends who live in
neighborhoods where this construction has previously been completed and I am well
aware of the significant impacts it has on families and day-to-day activities. The
construction greatly impacts the qualify of life for families including noise, detours,
dust, safety for children riding bikes, walking dogs, parking challenges and enjoying
any outdoor activity in our yards or decks during the project.
I understand that this project needs to be completed but my concern is regarding the
split of the neighborhood and therefore creating significant inconveniences for two
summers in a row. Benton Avenue is a much more logical border for this project as
Melody Lakes neighborhood is North of Benton and therefore the entire neighborhood
could be completed in one summer, not two.
As we all know, Minnesota summers are short and we attempt to enjoy our porches,
decks, yards, sidewalks, parks and neighborhoods as much as possible. The current
proposal will impact a significant number of families from enjoying our beautiful
neighborhood for two consecutive years.
Please consider revisiting the current proposal and taking into consideration
alternative options.
I am happy to discuss further if you have time to connect with me.
Thank you-

Date:Friday, October 5, 2018 10:21:16 AM
Jon,
Here is the typical process for determining a project area’s assessment:
1.Calculate the number of Residential Equivalent Units (REUs) within the project limits, taking
into account corner lots, non-residential properties and City properties as the Special
Assessment Policy describes (in the case of this project, the railroad property would not be
included in this calculation).
2.Determine the scope and total cost of roadway improvements based on, among other
things, street widths, lengths and existing soil conditions.
3.Divide the total roadway cost by the calculated number of REUs within the project area.
At this point, we do not know whether improvements will be made at the railroad crossing or what
the scope of those improvements would be; I expect we will be having those conversations with the
railroad in the coming years and determining how those improvements would be funded.
Staff will be proceeding with the design under the assumption that the railroad property will not be
assessed for the roadway improvements, as we have done in other projects. Any direction otherwise
would have to come from City Council. If this is a concern of yours, I would recommend reaching out
to Council or to City Manager Scott Neal so they can consider and review with our City Attorney.

Andrew,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
Since the policy does not explicitly address who pays for the portion of the railway's property,
how can I find out what will happen with our project's assessment?
I would argue that in this case the railway should be assessed some portion and the city should
be assessed some portion similar to park property. The railway has to cross the road and that
portion will cost more to put in I'm sure. It wouldn't be fair, certainly, to increase our
assessments to pay for the railway property. I would appreciate a response that clarifies the
plan for the portion of the road. If someone else is more appropriate for handling this
question, please feel free to forward my email to them.
Thanks again!

A question for you. I understand that the railroad isn't typically assessed during street
projects. I live on 56th street and a long portion of it is bordered by the railroad. I want to
be sure that we as residents in the project area don't end up paying an unfair amount for the

railroad's share of the road, like it will for the area bordering Garden Park?

RuthAnn,
The City will be assessed for the properties we own within the project limits in accordance with our
Special Assessment Policy (attached).
Historically, the City has not assessed properties associated with the railroad because it is our
position that those properties do not receive a benefit from roadway improvements. The most
recent example of this was the Birchcrest A/Countryside B reconstruction project in 2017. For the
Melody Lake A/Grandview A project, staff will not be proposing to assess the railroad properties
unless directed by City Council.
Regarding your concern about heavy equipment being parked along W 56th Street, City Ordinance
prohibits on-street parking for more than 6 hours and restrictions vehicle loads on residential
streets. If you are concerned about vehicles being parked for more than 6 hours, I’d suggest
contacting the Edina Police Department on their non-emergency number (952-826-1600); for
concerns about overloaded vehicles, you can contact Edina Public Works (952-826-0376).

Andrew,
Here is another question/concern from one of my neighbors:
Much of the Melody Lake A area is bordered by parks and railroad. That means there
are that many fewer residential units to divide the cost. We need to be sure that the city
is paying their share for the long section of Hansen and we also want to be sure that the
railroad will be assessed. They have to cross the roads and use them at times also so are
benefiting from the upgrade like we are. Plus the railroad parks their heavy equipment
along 56th St. just east of Hanson Road, Will the City of Edina & the railroad company
pay their fair share of the assessments?
Thank you for your clarification.

Aaron. Thanks for the reply. I suggest you or someone spend a hour or two watching the turns at the
corner of Hanson and 56th. Its a tight turn made difficult by the angle. There are often cars (from the
Fraser house) parked on 56th which makes it even more difficult. Often when
soccer/football/baseballgames are being played at Garden park cars park on 56th for a quick
getaway rather than using the parking lot.
Those of us who live close by and make that turn are very cautious. We often have to take turns. If
the street is made more narrow because of the sidewalk the turn will become even more hazardous
than it is now. I just don’t think a sidewalk that narrows the present width is good plan. Someone
from engineering really needs to study what goes on at that corner now before making a final
decision.
THanks for hearing my input.

Our plan is to install a sidewalk along W. 56 St., including the portion between Hansen

Hi Aaron.
I missed the meeting on the 2020 Road construction but looked at the presentation on
Better Together Edina.
I notice the plan to add sidewalks on w 56th. The street between Dale and Hansen is
already very narrow. To add the sidewalk you will need to take several feet of property from
the owners on that stretch. Is that really the plan? or will the sidewalk stop at Dale?
I live on Bernard so just wondering how that will play out.

Mark,
Here are the answers to your questions.
1. Questionnaire – Please complete online by 8/30/19 using the link below (one per household)
a. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MelodyGrandview
2. Utility Services lines – Contractor list for inspecting your services can be found using the link
below. This is not required, but recommended since your service lines may be nearing the end
of their useful life. Probably best for you to call me if you have specific questions.
a. https://www.edinamn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/824/List-of-Plumbers-PDF?bidId=
3. Irrigation Systems – Likely will be damaged during construction. The contractor will repair the
systems. Nothing needs to be done prior to or during construction. There will be some
property owner coordination immediately after the irrigation repair to confirm the system is
functioning appropriately.
4. Concrete work – Bulkhead style curb (Design B618) will be installed as well as aprons as
referenced in the links below. Sidewalk is proposed along Hansen Rd and W. 56th St.
Sidewalk is not proposed on Melody Lake Drive. The proposed sidewalk locations can be seen
in the Pedestrian Master Plan on page 63.

c. https://www.edinamn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/5433/Final-Master-Plan-Report-PDF
5. Driveway / Road Design – If your driveway has positive drainage from the garage to the street
before the project and will have negative slope after the project we would meet with you in
Spring 2020 to discuss it and how we would prevent stormwater from drainage into your
garage. Having said that, it would be unusual for us to need to design the street that way.
Our street design occurs in the winter prior to construction.
Thank you.

Hi Aaron-
We were out of town for the 8/12 meeting but downloaded the presentation and have a couple
questions, please respond with answers or if it's easier just call my cell at and let's talk
or leave me a message. Thanks, Mark Razidlo (5616 Melody Lake Drive)
-We didn't see/fill out the questionnaire and want to, so can you send one via email or can I pick one
one at City Hall?
-Your presentation mentions timing services (sewer upgrades, connecting to the city sump drain,
etc.), did you get into more detail on that in the meeting? Anything to share, or will that be
discussed again in meetings coming in December?
-You also mentioned reimbursement for things like damaged irrigation (which we will have), assume
that will be discussed/dealt with next year once the work is started and the scope of damage in
known, so nothing to worry about now, correct?
-Looks like there will be curbs and possibly sidewalks added. Is it a straight or sloped curb? And do
you know which side of our street will have the sidewalk added?
-Finally, we have a question about the height of the new roadway relative to what it is now. We
have a very low grade on our 70-foot driveway from our garage door to the road, so low that if the
new road is higher we are concerned that the water might actually flow back from the road and
flood our garage. I've talked with the survey guys and they say new roads are usually put in slightly
lower than the old surface for exactly that reason, but wondering if you can confirm that.
Look forward to hearing from you, thanks, Mark

Our first priority will be to move the storm drain a couple feet away from your driveway.
If from some reason the design prevents us from moving the storm drain, we’ll replace the

Aaron,
Thank you so much for meeting and discussing the Hansen Rd project with me yesterday morning.
I wanted to document a few things from our conversation:
1) As we are closing off the Hansen Rd entrance to our drive this year, we won’t complete all the
plantings near the curb, as it’s our understanding the contractors will remove the drive cut in when
the road is repaved next year. In addition, we’d like to have the thin stone retaining wall extended
across some or much of the drive entrance as far as it makes sense in front of the stop sign.
2) we are still exploring potentially extending the width of the Benton Ave driveway. Our current
driveway opening is around 10-12 feet. We are potentially opening it another 2 feet. Based on our
conversation this was acceptable. Our driveway contractor will be out this week to assess. As we
previously discussed, we will already be doing a new curb cut and apron as the current apron and
curb cut are in bad shape.
3) id really like to discuss the need to keep the mature oak trees and sumac that are along side the
Hansen Rd portion of our property. These trees provide much shade and privacy for our yard and
are extremely mature trees that are healthy and thriving. We’d really like to discuss options here
when the paving project gets closer.
Thanks again!

Greta,
Thank you for the feedback. The best method to express your opposition to the proposed sidewalk is to submit a
petition to City Council (https://www.edinamn.gov/367/Petition). This standard form is typically used to ask
Council to consider a public improvement project, but can also be used to ask Council not to consider a project.
A petition can be submitted at any time; however, because this project is still 2 years away, I would suggest
submitting sometime between June and November of 2019. During this time, Engineering staff will be determining
the scopes of the 2020 projects in much more detail and will be submitting proposals to the Council in November. If
you decide to submit your petition earlier, Council may decide to act on it or they may decide to table it until later in
2019 and discuss along with the project proposals submitted by Engineering.
Until such time that Engineering is given explicit direction otherwise from Council, we will proceed with

Good morning,
I live in the melody lake neighborhood and am writing in strong opposition to the sidewalk on 56th from Hanson to
code. It is completely against what the neighborhood wants and opinions voiced at previous meetings. It would lead
no where and the area would be better served with one on Hanson or Benton. It costs more and takes up more yards.
We don’t want it. How do we go about getting it removed?!
Thanks

Jen,
It’s true that Benton Avenue is not included in the proposed 2021 street reconstruction project.
Benton Ave is a municipal state aid (higher volume collector) and these are reconstructed separately
from local streets.
Because Benton Ave was overlayed with new pavement in 2017, it won’t be in the street
reconstruction program for at least seven years. Pedestrian or shared use path improvements are
proposed along Benton Ave in conjunction with future street reconstruction.
Thank you.

Hi Aaron,
I hope you are having a good summer. We spoke last winter about the Melody
Lake/Grandview/Birchcrest Project. My neighbors and I thought that Benton Ave was included in the
project. We thought that a sidewalk was being put in to keep pedestrians and bicyclists safe from
Eastview Dr to Hansen Rd From the project map, it looks like Benton Ave is being left out. is this
true? If so, when will Benton be repaired?

Because Benton Ave will not be reconstructed in 2021, Benton will be a favorable east

EXTERNAL EMAIL ALERT: This email originated from outside the City of Edina. Do not click links

Hi Aaaron
We have communicated about this project earlier. There seems to be much opposition to the
sidewalk proposal for W 56th. Earlier the plan was to add the sidewalk from Code to Hansen as
part of the 2021 project with the plan to add the sidewalk from Code to Frontage road at a later
time. Now apparently that plan has changed so that the complete sidewalk will be installed in
2021.
I live at 5603 Bernard Pl. To leave my immediate neighborhood my neighbors use either
Hansen or W 56th. to go up to the commercial stores on Vernon or to access Hwy 100.
Since Hansen will be under reconstruction if the sidewalk on W 56th is installed simultaneously
traffic snarls will be most difficult. Therefore I recommend that the sidewalk (from Code to
Frontage) be delayed to another year(This was the original plan). This will allow a much better
and safer trafiic flow because most residents will avoid Hansen and use W 56th to exit the
area.instead. This will put even more congestion on W 56th.and with the sidewalk installation will
make the exit very congested and unsafe.
I strongly urge the city to delay the W 56th sidewalk to a later year.
Thank you

Pat,
Thanks for you questions.
1. It’s optional to insert a liner into your sanitary sewer service line. If you choose to do
this, you can reach out to the contractors on the attached list for a quote.
2. If you choose to do the water line, you can reach out to the contractors on the
attached list for a quote. They should be able to televise it and share the results with
you. Optional water line replacements should be done next spring / early summer
before concrete curb and gutter and asphalt paving are complete.
3. Coordinate the work with our street reconstruction project. Don’t do the work
before concrete curb and gutter and asphalt paving are complete or we’ll damage
the new driveway. You can reach out to the contractors on the attached list for a
quote. You should select a contractor to do the work next spring and share with
them our schedule. Once the concrete curb has been installed by the City’s
contractor, contact your contractor to have your new driveway installed. This way
there will be no driveway “seam” between the City’s work and your new driveway.
Your contractor may want to remove your existing driveway before or after the new
curb has been installed.
4. We’ll mail you a letter before construction begins next spring. That letter will have
contact information for the project inspector. Reach out to the inspector regarding
access and we can work with your navigation needs.
5. We recommend getting more than one quote for the utility and driveway work.

Phillip,
The estimated assessment range at the informational meeting on 8/12/19 was $13,000 to $19,900.
See the attached excerpt from the presentation. We did not present one estimated assessment
amount because the project was postponed in fall 2019.
Below average soil conditions exist under the pavement and gravel base throughout the
neighborhood. Estimated assessments include costs for replacement of poor soils with more stable
soils. We are estimating a larger volume of soil replacement for streets on the south half of the
neighborhood when compared to the north half, hence the primary reason for the increased
estimated assessment amount.
Thank you.

Hi Arron,

Regarding the 2021 project, the costs were estimated at $24200 per REU.
If memory serves me correctly, when the project was considered for 2020,
the estimated cost was $13000-14000. Was that estimate correct? If so
why is the projected cost so much higher for 2021?

We spoke Monday evening at the streets meeting.
Two quick things. Could you send me the questionnaire that was sent out earlier? I checked with my wife and she
hasn’t seen it either. We’d like to offer our support for the sidewalk that’s been proposed along 56th Street.
Also, I mentioned the state of the overgrown vegetation within the spiral of the pedestrian bridge east of highway
100 and north of the community center. I’ve been involved in two near misses while biking since it’s impossible to
see bikers or pedestrians rounding the other side. The situation is made worse by tree branches forcing riders and
pedestrian into the same path.
I’ve attached a few photos.
Could you please forward to the appropriate person? I’d hate for someone to get hurt needlessly.

Date:Friday, October 19, 2018 5:01:29 PM
RuthAnn,
I apologize for the delay in my response. Here is my answer to your recent question:
As you mentioned, this ordinance specifically applies to demolition permits, subdivision applications
and building permits. If the trees you mentioned are located entirely on your property, then they are
very unlikely to be impacted by our roadway reconstruction. If they are partially or completely
located within the right-of-way, then they may be impacted. We won’t know for certain until later
next summer when our surveyors perform a topographic survey of the neighborhood. Generally, we
try to protect mature trees when we can, but sometimes our proposed improvements require them
to be removed. In those cases, we reach out to the property owners to discuss tree replacement
options.
Here are my responses to your previous questions:
Examples of streets that were recently reconstructed to a 24’ width with a 5’ sidewalk (as is currently
recommended on W 56th St) are as follows:
- W 60th St from School Rd to Concord Ave (Concord neighborhood, reconstructed in 2018)
- Valley View Rd from Tracy Ave to Hansen Rd (Birchcrest neighborhood, reconstructed in 2017)
- Hansen Rd from Valley View Rd to W 60th St (Birchcrest neighborhood, reconstructed in 2017)
- Maddox Ln from Hansen Rd to Mildred Ave (Birchcrest neighborhood, reconstructed in 2017)
- Olinger Rd from Vernon Ave to Olinger Blvd (Countryside neighborhood, reconstructed in 2017)
- Concord Ave from Southview Ln to Lexington Ave (Golf Terrace neighborhood, reconstructed in
2016)
- Beard Ave from W 62nd St to W 60th St (Strachauer Park neighborhood, reconstructed in 2016)
Once you have a completed petition, you can either drop it off at City Hall for the City Clerk, mail it
to City Hall (c/o City Clerk), or email it to mail@EdinaMN.gov and it will be forwarded to the City
Clerk and Council. Since this project will not be considered by City Council until December 2019, I
would suggest the best time to submit would be July-October 2019. During this period, Engineering
staff will be determining the full scope of the project and preparing cost estimates. Typically, Council
will ultimately decide whether or not to proceed with the sidewalk at the Public Improvement
Hearing in December. You can certainly submit a petition earlier than the time frame I’ve suggested,
but Council may decide not to act on it until the project is officially brought before them in
December 2019.
We do realize that more sidewalks may result in additional salt usage; however, we attempt to offset
this impact by making reductions to the overall roadway surface (narrowing the streets) so as to
reduce the City’s total area of impervious surfaces. Unfortunately, this is a situation where two of
the City’s long-term objectives are somewhat at odds with each other; we do want to reduce salt
usage, but we also want to expand our network of pedestrian facilities to improve mobility for all
types of users.
Both properties you mentioned are currently zoned as Single-Family Residential, and as such, would
be subjected to the same assessment rate as any other single-family home within the project area.
The current assessment policy does not factor taxes paid per individual property.

Has anyone at City Hall realized that by adding more sidewalks to Edina, homeowners will be

Since I live between two group homes (one on the corner of Hansen Road & 56th St. at 5617

RuthAnn,
I’m sorry my last name’s a little difficult, but I’m glad you were able to reach me! Attached is the
presentation from last night, as well as the maps that were displayed.
To answer your questions below:
- As of now, the plan would be to only construct the sidewalk within the project limits (from
Hansen Road to Code Avenue). The current Pedestrian Facilities Map shows that this
sidewalk will eventually extend all the way to Normandale Road. Since the neighborhood to
the east of Code Avenue (Melody Lake C) was reconstructed in 2012, we are not certain
when the sidewalk between Code Avenue and Normandale Road would be constructed.
Ideally, we would install new pedestrian and bicycle facilities as part of street reconstruction
projects; however, since this sidewalk was added to the plan after the neighborhood was
reconstructed, that opportunity has passed. At this point, I see three events that could affect
the construction of the sidewalk between Code Avenue and Normandale Road:
o Council may direct staff to construct all of the W 56th Street sidewalk as part of the
Melody Lake A/Grandview A reconstruction project in 2020 (Council made a decision
for the Valley View Road sidewalk as part of the Birchcrest A reconstruction project
in 2017)
o Residents on W 56th Street or in the Melody Lake C neighborhood may petition the
City to construct this sidewalk segment
o Staff may recommend installing this sidewalk segment as part of a future roadway
maintenance project, like a mill and overlay (the tentative maintenance schedule for
Melody Lake C is an overlay in 2035)
Both the attached Pedestrian Facilities Map and Bicycle Facilities Map are part of the City’s
Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan (https://www.edinamn.gov/494/Pedestrian-Bicycle-
Master-Plan). For more information on this plan and the process that went into creating it,
I’d suggest contacting Mark Nolan, who’s contact information can be found in this page.
- Here is the link to the City’s official petition form: https://www.edinamn.gov/367/Petition.
Generally, this form is used to advocate for a public improvement project, but can certainly
be used to advocate against one. One the third page of this form, there are check boxes to
indicate which improvement you are petitioning for. There is also a box for “other” which
can be used to petition against an improvement.
- The same form can be used to petition the City to plow the W 56th Street sidewalk, if the
decision is made to proceed with construction (under “other,” I would suggest calling it
“sidewalk maintenance” to differentiate it from new sidewalk construction)
For all of the 2020 project areas, the next steps in the design process are as follows:
- Spring/early summer 2020: Engineering and Public Works staff will evaluate existing
infrastructure to determine the scope of improvements
- June 2020: resident questionnaire will be mailed to all properties within the project limits
- July 2020: Engineering will host an informational meeting to discuss specific scope of each
project and provide estimated range of special assessments
- July-October 2020: Engineering will prepare an engineering study for each project area,
explaining the proposed improvements and funding sources
- December 2020: Engineering will hold a Public Hearing before the City Council and recommend
approval of the project (all properties within the project area will receive notice of this
hearing per state statues)
If there’s any other information I can provide, please let me know. Please feel free to share my
contact information with your neighbors if they have questions or comments about the project.

Please send me the Powerpoint & maps from 9/24/18 6 PM presentation on 2020 2021
Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction.
Also here are some additional questions I would like answered:
How far east will the sidewalk on 56th St. go from Hanson Road? Since 56th St. east of
Melody Lake A was done several years ago & no sidewalk was added the their portion
of 56th St. what is the objective of adding a sidewalk to my portion? Please also include
a link to the walkability/bike-ability study referenced last night.
I would like the no sidewalk petition format that you mentioned exists.
Also if the decision is made to move ahead with a sidewalk along 56th with this project,
I want to know how to get the City of Edina to maintain it. There is no way during a
typical or bad winter that I will be able to keep a sidewalk clear since I can barely keep
my driveway open with these new big & fast snowplows that bury me each time they
come thru.
Thank you so much for reminding us at the presentation that we can add coverage for service
lines in & out of our house to our homeowners insurance. I did that today since my
homeowners renewal is on Fri!
Please keep me in the loop especially about 56th St since I have a corner lot at 56th & Dale

Date:Tuesday, October 29, 2019 10:44:11 AM
Alissa,
The City does have long-term plans to install a sidewalk on W 56th St between Code Ave and
Normandale Rd; however, staff is not recommending constructing this segment in 2020. At the time
this area was reconstructed (2012), the City was still funding new sidewalks through special
assessments to adjacent property owners. Starting in 2013, sidewalks are now entirely funded by the
Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund, which is generated through private utility franchise fees.
With the creation of this fund, and subsequent network planning efforts (such as the Pedestrian and
Bicycle Master Plan), the City has decided to take a more proactive approach to improving conditions
within the City for those who walk or bike.
While I agree that a painted facility on the street would be less costly and easier to maintain, there is
no precedent for such a facility in Edina. Our recent engagement efforts indicated a strong desire
among those who walk and bike in the City to be more separated from motor vehicle traffic. This
sentiment is reflective of the general consensus within the industry; that people feel safer and are
more likely to walk or bike when they are provided a facility separated from motor vehicles. In my
opinion, a painted lane on the roadway would not be considered sufficiently safe or comfortable to
most people who walk or bike.
When the City identifies the best opportunity in the future to install this remaining portion of
sidewalk (Code to Normandale), staff will reach out to affected property owners to discuss
construction limits and impacts. All associated costs at that time will be covered by the PACS Fund. As
of now, this segment is not in the City’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan. Given our other priorities
across the City, I would generally place this segment in the 10-15 year timeframe; however, that
schedule is purely speculative and subject to change.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your email. I just want to clarify that there is not a proposal for a sidewalk
from code to the frontage road on west 56th? The map shows that there is. Also are there any
instances in Edina where instead of putting a sidewalk in there has been a painted bike lane used
instead? This seems like a more cost effective solution that requires less maintenance from the city
and home owners?
I would also appreciate if the planning committee reviewed the input from the homeowners on w.
56th street when the street reconstruction was originally completed. We were surveyed and there
was little interest in sidewalks or street lamps. Thank you!

Alissa,
Thank you for your email; I’m happy to provide some additional information.
At the October 24 meeting, the Transportation Commission was presented the draft
engineering studies for the 2020 roadway reconstruction projects. One of these projects
is Melody Lake A/Grandview A, which includes a proposed sidewalk on the south side of
W 56th St between Hansen Rd and Code Ave. This sidewalk is recommended in the
City’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan (https://www.edinamn.gov/494/Pedestrian-
Bicycle-Master-Plan), which was approved by City Council in 2018. The development of
this plan included significant public engagement throughout 2017, including online
materials and surveys, open houses, meetings with the Transportation and Planning
Commissions and finally, a City Council public hearing. In general, the network of
sidewalks, trails and bike facilities recommended by this plan is intended to provide
connections to schools, parks, between neighborhoods and to other popular amenities
and destinations.
As the draft engineering study stated, staff is currently only proposing to construct the
W 56 St sidewalk between Hansen Rd and Code Ave in 2020 (within the project limits of
the roadway reconstruction project). The south side of the street was selected after
evaluating impacts within the right-of-way, including trees, landscaping and utility poles.
While the Plan ultimately recommends continuing the sidewalk further east to the
frontage road, staff understands that retrofitting a sidewalk in an area that was recently
reconstructed comes with significant challenges and impacts. If the sidewalk east of
Code Ave is not proposed for construction in 2020, it would remain a recommended
facility per the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. This means that staff would consider
installing it a later time; most likely, in conjunction with a future overlay project or if the
City were to receive a petition from adjacent property owners.
The meetings of the Transportation Commission are no longer televised, so there are no
videos since October 2016 for you to view. However, the final meeting minutes can be
found here - https://edina.novusagenda.com/agendaintranet/. The Commission will
meet again Thursday, November 21 at 6:00, but they will not be discussing this project
as part of their agenda. You are certainly welcome to attend, however, to voice your
comments and concerns, or you could use the online Correspondence Submission form
(https://edinadocs.edinamn.gov/Forms/contact) to share your feedback with the entire
commission. The next public meeting where the Melody Lake A/Grandview A project
will be discussed is at the City Council public hearing on December 9, 2019 at 6:00. At
this meeting, staff will present their recommendations, residents will be permitted to
provide comments or questions, City Council will discuss and vote to approve the
project.
If you have additional questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

Message This is for transportation planning:
I looked over the minutes from Oct 24 and was surprised to see
that our street (w 56th street) is recommended for sidewalks on
the south side. Please give me some background to this
decision.
Why were homeowners not notified of this proposal prior to the
meeting? This decision lacks transparency. I was unable to see
any transportation meeting videos (the last one was from Oct
2016). Please include a link so I can watch the meeting.
From my prospective it seems inefficient to install sidewalks
when the streets were recently reconstructed meaning the
aprons will be redone along with sod again.
In addition why would the sidewalks be installed on the south
side? The snow melts much faster on the north side making them
easier to clear in the winter.
Would you please include the date of the next meeting that will
be discussing this project?
Thank you for answering my questions!

I wanted to follow up with a couple clarifications.
Engineering staff has not recommended a sidewalk be constructed in 2020 between Code
Avenue and Normandale Avenue.
Engineering staff will recommended a sidewalk be constructed at an opportune time in the
future, either as part of a scheduled roadway maintenance or utility project.

Hi there,I see there is a proposed sidewalk on W. 56th street from thefrontage road to Hansen Rd. Part of the streets from the frontageroad to Code Ave. had new streets installed seven years ago. CodeAve. to Hansen road will be getting new streets next year. I propose that instead of sidewalks being installed an upgrade to a"shared use path/bike lane" would be a better option. Our streetsare wide enough to accommodate this. Installing sidewalks in thearea that had the new streets installed already would be a costlyoption. Sidewalks were decided against at the time of the streetinstallation. The use of a "shared use path/bike lane" would avoidthe costs of ripping up and repairing the driveways, sod,irrigation systems, and curbs again. Another advantage would bethat the street department would be plowing the road curb to curbin the winter so they would always be maintained. Additionallythere are two houses close to Hansen road that have their backyardsback up to W. 56th street. They actually live on Dale Ave. I'mguessing they will not walk through their backyard or down thestreet and around the corner to maintain the sidewalk. If the city feels a need to install sidewalks with the area gettingnew streets next year I suggest a "shared use path/bike lane" fromthe frontage road to Code Ave. and sidewalks from Code Ave toHansen road. That would avoid all the costs mentioned above andany potential damage to the streets that were already installedfrom the heavy equipment needed. A "shared use path/bike lane"would be a very cost effective option. Thank you,Mary Jo Palmer

Patrick,
To clarify, the dividing line between the 2020 and 2021 project areas is Grove St between Hansen Rd
and Tingdale Ave (see image below from the City’s Anticipated Roadway Reconstruction map, 2019-
2024). Benton Ave lies between Melody Lake B and Birchcrest C, which are both proposed for 2021
reconstruction.
Benton Ave itself will not be included in either of these projects as it was resurfaced in 2017, but it
may be subjected to short-term closures in 2021 for watermain or other improvements at the
intersections. No additional work on Benton Ave is anticipated in the City’s 5-year Capital
Improvement Plan.

Earlier you responded to my question about W 56th St. Now another question.
Some residents are concerned about the back to back projects 2020 and 2021 which will impact travel for
2 years in Melody Lake area.
My question:
BentonAve. has recently been resurfaced. It is the dividing line for the two projects. Will it be open (
Frontage road to Tracy) during the whole 2 year period or is more work scheduled. If so which year?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Yes, the sidewalk on W 56th St between Hansen Rd and Code Ave is still being
recommended for construction in 2020. The roadway between Hansen Rd and Dale Ave is
proposed to be reconstructed to 20’ wide with a 5’ sidewalk on the south side. Staff has
asked the adjacent properties along this segment about the need for on-street parking and
will be recommending no on-street parking between Hansen Rd and Dale Ave. This will
allow for adequate space for traveling vehicles and allow the City to construct the roadway
and sidewalk within the existing 40’ public right-of-way.
From staff’s perspective, this roadway reconstruction project is the appropriate opportunity
to construct the sidewalk between Hansen Rd and Code Ave. Combining these projects
allows the City to minimize property impacts and reduce costs compared to installing the
sidewalk by itself. The 2020 project gives the City the opportunity to install about half
(1,400’ of 2,725’) of the total proposed sidewalk on W 56th St, which we feel is a worthwhile
investment into the City’s sidewalk network. The remaining length will be installed at an
opportune time in the future, either as part of a scheduled roadway maintenance or utility
project or if petitioned by the adjacent property owners.

I understand that the sidewalk on W 56th east from Code to frontage road is now deferred to later date.
However the sidewalk from Code to Hansen will be installed as part of the 2020 project. Is this correct.?
As you know the roadway from Dale to Hansen is very narrow and is restricted by the RR tracks. I have
seen several survey crews in that area and I am wondering if in fact the plan will include sidewalk for that
block?
If so how? Proper street width is more important for traffic safety and should be paramount over
sidewalk.
If not, does it really make sense just to do the two blocks from Code to Dale? Why not wait and do the
whole sidewalk from the frontage road to the west when the time is right.?
I wonder if you could comment and enlighten me on the sidewalk plan. I know several neighbors are
confused also.
Thank you

Thanks for the prompt reply and clarification on the issue. That one block will be narrow. The City will
need to bring in some fill because there is a low spot that floods about the middle of the block. The other
issue is that visitors to the Fraser house on the corner often park on 56th. The no parking is a good
solution but visitors will need to now park on Hansen.
The other concern is the visitor parking on 56th at the corner of Dale(The South- East corner). A second
Fraser house is there. The street curves and the cars parked on 56th are a hazard..Cars are parked
there most of the day . Cars traveling East cannot see around parked cars. So if a car is coming down
56th traveling west the east bound car can't see it Adding the sidewalk and narrowing the street will
make it more dangerous. You might consider no parking there as well. Fraser visitors and workers would
be required to park on Dale or in the house driveway.
I hope it all works out
I will share the information with neighbors. Thanks again.

John,
The project will likely begin in April 2021, but not on every street. Some streets may not be started
until August / September. We won’t know the sequence of construction until next spring, since
that’s up to the contractor.
Generally local low volume streets are not closed during construction. Generally, you can get in and
out of your driveway each morning and evening during construction with some exceptions like
concrete installation. There may be instances during the day that you will be asked to park on an
adjacent street for the day while they work in front of your driveway.
It’s important that you contact our construction inspector when you know your private contractors
schedule so coordination can occur with the City’s contractor.
Thank you for the positive feedback.

Hello Aaron,
First, I want to thank you and your department for doing what I consider to be an
excellent job of communicating and updating the residents regarding the upcoming
road reconstruction. I attended two of the meetings and I thought the presentation
was well done.
Here is my question:
Several of us experienced hail damage a few weeks ago and need our roofs
replaced. I would like to have my chimney repaired before I have the roof re-
shingled, and the soonest I can get that done would be early next spring
(temperatures permitting). Do you have an approximate idea of when access to our
homes by contractors would be restricted? I see that construction will begin
sometime in April, but I don’t know how that would affect my situation. At what point
would our street actually be closed?

we sincerely hope the sidewalks are seen as a benefit to everyone in the neighborhood; improved
access to Garden Park, more connections between neighborhoods, and better opportunities for
active living. Of course, we are always open to hear the perspectives of the residents and take that
into consideration. In the end, each of these projects is a balancing act between the desires of the

and down 56th upwards of 50mph. I believe a sidewalk, which
invariably narrows the street also engenders a stronger sense
of community. For me, it has many more positive externalities
than negative, especially as the neighborhood appears to have
an uptick in young children. I’m an advocate for collaboration,
so I want to keep an open mind. I’m not necessarily saying “no”
to a petition regarding maintenance and repair but I would hate
to see the sidewalk initiative be derailed entirely. Do you know if
city maintained repairs of sidewalks is a common request from

Hi Aaron
I was recently informed by a neighbor that there’s a proposed plan for a sidewalk on the south side
of West 56th.
Our street was reconstructed several years ago so we have not been noticed about the upcoming
project.
Just a friendly piece of advice...if you are going to build the sidewalk on the entire street I would
suggest you notice the whole street. I could be wrong but I don’t think we have ever received
anything and if a sidewalk through my front yard is part of the plan I would strongly encourage you
to publicly notify the whole street.
I follow City issues pretty close so if I have been noticed I apologize.

Garden Park and the CP railroad tracks as part of an area wide street reconstruction plan.
The proposed project includes replacement of an existing retaining wall that supports the
roadway along approximately 350ft of the alignment south of the at-grade CP rail crossing.
According to the City’s survey files and the original roadway construction plans, the
existing wall contains both a single and two (2) tier timber faced retaining structure with
tie-back timber anchors. The wall is shown to have a maximum height of approximately
8ft. An approximately 2H:1V, 15ft tall, heavily wooded slope exists below a portion of
the wall base, including where it is at its maximum height of 8ft. The wall also serves as
the grade separator between Hansen Road and a driveway for the residence at 5700 Hansen
Road. At this location, the wall contains two tiers with landscaping.
The City survey drawings indicate that the retaining wall face is approximately 8-12ft back
from the Hansen Rd curb and that existing underground utilities (water main and fiber
optic) run along the curbline. Where the wall contains a single tier, it is located
approximately 12ft from the Hansen Rd curb. Where the wall contains two (2) tiers, it is
located 8ft back from the curbline with a 4ft wide bench between wall tiers. The base of
the wall is located approximately 12ft back from the Hansen Rd curbline along the entirety
of the wall alignment.
The City has indicated that the timber wall is scheduled to be replaced as part of a Hansen
Road improvement project scheduled for the 2021 construction season.
The City has requested that we evaluate wall reconstruction options that would reduce
disturbance to the existing utilities, the adjacent residences and the wooded hillside slope
at the bottom of the existing wall. This report was prepared in substantial accordance with
our agreement dated September 3, 2020.
2.0 SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Subsurface Investigation Procedure
Two (2) soil borings were drilled from the level bench area adjacent to Hansen Rd along
the retaining wall alignment. The soil boring locations were located in the field by Gale-
Tec Engineering, Inc. The approximate locations are shown on the Soil Boring Location
Diagram included in the Appendix.
The subsurface exploration was performed on September 16, 2020. Soil borings were
advanced with a truck-mounted CME 75 drill rig. Gopher State One Call was contacted
prior to drilling for utility clearance.
The two (2) soil borings were drilled to a depth of 25 ft. Soil borings were advanced with
a hollow stem auger. Soil samples were collected at 2-1/2 ft. intervals using the split-spoon
sampling procedure to a depth of 10 ft and then at 5 ft. intervals to a depth of 30 ft. In the
split spoon method the number of blows required to drive the sampler into the ground in
6-inch increments is recorded. The sampling spoon is driven into the ground with a 140-

pound hammer falling a distance of 30 inches. Soil samples were placed in glass jars and
delivered to our office for examination and classification. The depth to groundwater and
any aggregate base thicknesses were recorded during drilling operations. The borings were
backfilled with grout upon completion.
As required by State of Minnesota – Department of Health, a sealing record of the two
boreholes was prepared (Record No. 373870) and submitted to the Department of Health.
A copy of the record is included in the Appendix.
The surface elevations at the two (2) boring locations were not obtained at the time of
drilling. Based on the survey files obtained from the City, we estimate soil boring ground
surface elevations of approximately 939ft.
2.1 Soil and Groundwater Conditions
At both boring locations an approximately 6 inch thick layer of clayey sand topsoil was
encountered at the ground surface. Beneath the topsoil layer an approximately 8ft thick
layer of loose to medium dense silty sand to silty clayey sand fill layer was encountered
that was likely placed when the retaining wall was initially constructed. The bottom of fill
elevation, approximately ele. 931ft, corresponds to the bottom of the retaining wall
elevation along the majority of the wall alignment.
Beneath the fill layer, native soils consisted of a stiff to very stiff sandy to silty clay soil
layer. This soil layer contained a penetrometer estimated undrained shear strength of 2.0 –
3.0 tons per square foot (tsf). This stiff clay layer was encountered to the termination depth
at both boring locations. This stiff layer, if undisturbed, would be an adequate base for the
new retaining wall.
Groundwater was not encountered in the boreholes either while drilling (WD) or after the
boring was completed (AB). Boreholes were backfilled with grout shortly after boring
completion. Given the clay type soils present at this location, an extended period of time
is required for ground water to seep and equilibrate in the boreholes. The installation and
monitoring of a piezometer would be required to identify the long term ground water table,
though the indications are that the groundwater table was below a depth of 25ft at the time
of the exploration.
3.0 POTENTIAL WALL RECONSTRUCTION OPTIONS
The City has indicated that the proposed retaining wall would be constructed along
approximately the same alignment as the existing timber wall alignment. The City has also
indicated that a replacement retaining wall type should: reduce impacts to the adjacent
residence, reduce impacts to the existing utilities beneath the Hansen Road curbline and
reduce impacts to the existing trees and vegetation along the hillside slope.
Our preliminary analysis indicates that a fill type retaining structure containing geogrid
reinforcement, or another type of tieback reinforcement, will be required to maintain
retaining wall stability due to the steep sloping toe at the base of the retaining wall along a
City of Edina
Hansen Road Retaining Wall Replacement
Gale-Tec Engineering, Inc., SEPTEMBER, 2020 3
portion of its alignment. Along the portion of the wall alignment where a sloping toe is not
present, such as the wall alignment adjacent to the residential property, a gravity wall type
could be considered.
Cut type retaining structures, such as a sheet pile wall, or soldier pile wall would require
either a vibratory hammer to install sheeting or pile driving for soldier pile installation.
Construction of these wall types would likely cause significant vibrations and potential
structural distress to the adjacent residential structures and adjacent underground utilities.
These wall types would also likely be more expensive than other fill type wall options due
to the amount of steel materials required.
Fill wall types containing geogrid reinforcement could be economical wall options that
could be designed to reduce the impacts to adjacent residence and the downslope hillside.
Wall types that could be considered include: 1) Precast Modular Block wall with geogrid
reinforcement (PMBW or Big Blocks), 2) “dry cast” Modular Block Wall (MBW) and 3)
1H:2.75V (70 deg.) Reinforced Soil Slope (RSS).
Option 1 – Gravity/Geogrid Reinforced Big Block Wall
One potential wall type could be a precast modular blocks (Big Blocks) that could be
constructed as a gravity type wall along a portion of the wall alignment where no sloping
toe is present. At locations where a sloping toe exists at the retaining wall base, geogrid
reinforcement would be required. At the sloping toe location, preliminary global stability
analyses indicate that the geogrid reinforcement length would need to extend
approximately 10ft back from the block face, which is approximately 100% of the PMBW
wall height. Also, it is recommended that the PMBW be embedded approximately 3-4ft at
the sloping toe locations. Normally a 2ft embedment is recommended.
At locations where geogrid reinforcement will be required behind the block wall face, 24
inch wide retaining wall blocks could be utilized along with geogrid reinforcement
extending approximately 10ft back from the front face of the wall. At locations outside of
the sloping toe area, such as where the wall is located adjacent to the existing residence, a
preliminary wall stability analysis indicates that a 60 inch wide retaining wall block with
no geogrid reinforcement will be required. At both wall locations and assuming a 1H –
1.5H:1V excavation backslope, the wall excavation limits will likely expose the existing
water main and fiber optic utilities located beneath the Hansen Road curbline. These
utilities would likely need to be relocated prior to wall reconstruction. A portion of the
Hansen Road driving lane pavement section would also need to be removed and replaced
as part of wall excavation.
Most of the “Big Block” manufacturers have several options for facing textures that have
been approved by MnDOT for applications adjacent to roadways where salt spray can
occur. However, MnDOT has special PMBW requirements where these walls can only
support CSAH or TH roadways if geogrid reinforcement is included. Since this is NOT a
CSAH or TH roadway, MnDOT standards would not need to be followed, though they are
good practice. Plans and Specifications would need to be created such that a salt resistant
concrete block product is specified. Several similar gravity Big Block retaining walls have
City of Edina
Hansen Road Retaining Wall Replacement
Gale-Tec Engineering, Inc., SEPTEMBER, 2020 4
been constructed for recent City of Edina projects, including: W. 70th St, Garden Park, and
Interlachen Blvd.
GTE has previously designed this wall type on projects throughout Minnesota and the
Upper Midwest.
The top wall course would be 24 inches in depth and a rail or fence could be installed on
this block at the top of the wall. Internal and external retaining wall stability analyses
should be performed as part of retaining wall final design to determine the required block
widths for the gravity structure and the geogrid reinforcement strength and run-out lengths
for the reinforced section.
The PMBW geogrid reinforced section will require a granular reinforced fill material (the
fill material placed behind the wall within the reinforcement zone) that meets the
requirements of a MnDOT Select Granular Material (Spec. 3149.2B). This material should
contain a friction angle of at least 35 degrees. This material would need to be imported as
the soil borings indiate clay soils on-site. The wall would need to be supported on a leveling
pad that would need to extend approximately ½ to 1 foot beyond the front and back of the
block. The leveling pad should consist of a MnDOT Spec. 3138 Class 5 or Class 6, virgin
or recycled material, supported over a recompacted subgrade.
Additionally, a one (1) foot thick gravel drainage layer would need to be placed between
the back of the block and the wall backfill. The drainage rock should consist of a ¾ inch
clear crushed rock and include a filter fabric wrap. A drainage pipe that includes several
outlets through the wall should also be placed at the wall base.
We estimate the installed cost of a Big Block wall to be approximately $60/SF of wall face.
A more accurate construction cost could be estimated by reviewing the recent past City of
Edina wall projects mentioned previously. We estimate the reconstructed retaining wall
(350ft long by 8ft tall) to be approximately 2,800 SF of wall facing. For comparison
purposes only, a wall reconstruction cost of $170,000 is estimated at this time. This cost
does not include removal of the existing wall, importing granular fill, pavement
replacement or guardrail replacement.
We estimate an approximately six (6) week Big Block retaining wall construction time.
This would include two (2) weeks for deconstruction and excavation of the existing timber
wall and four (4) weeks for wall construction, fence/guardrail placement and pavement
reconstruction.
Option 2 – Modular Block Wall (MBW) with Geogrid Reinforcement
A second wall type that could be considered would be a “dry cast” modular block wall with
geogrid reinforcement placed along the entirety of the wall alignment. A “standard”
modular block unit weighs approximately 80 lbs, is 1ft in depth and covers one (1) square
foot of wall face.
City of Edina
Hansen Road Retaining Wall Replacement
Gale-Tec Engineering, Inc., SEPTEMBER, 2020 5
Commercial dry cast modular blocks can be susceptible to degradation from salt and
freeze-thaw cycles. Several block manufacturers have developed more durable modular
block units that are resistant to this degradation. MnDOT has developed a block resistance
test and has a prequalified list of block types/manufacturers that can provide the salt
tolerant blocks. We recommend that this type of block be used for this project, if an MBW
is selected.
A current MnDOT Technical Memo (14-03-MAT-01) includes design guidance that does
not allow for dry cast modular block walls to support CSAH or TH roadways. The City
would not have to follow this guidance, as previously discussed in the PMBW wall section.
Preliminary stability analyses indicate that a 8 foot exposed MBW with an additional 1-2ft
embedment depth would require geogrid reinforcement that would need to extend into the
wall backfill a length of approximately 8-10ft. Where the wall is less than 8ft in total height,
then the geogrid reinforcement would need to extend approximately 6ft back behind the
wall face. The stability analysis indicates that the geogrid reinforcement would need an
allowable tensile strength (Tal) of at least 2500 lb/ft and be placed at a maximum of 2ft
vertical intervals along the height of the wall. Modular block wall internal and external
stability analysis would need to be performed as part of the retaining wall final design.
Similar to the geogrid reinforced PMBW wall section, the modular block wall reinforced
fill (the fill material placed behind the wall within the reinforcement zone) would need to
consist of a granular fill material that meets the requirements of a MnDOT Select Granular
Material (Spec. 3149.2B). This material should contain a friction angle of at least 35
degrees. This material would need to be imported or the existing retaining wall backfill
material could be reused if it meets the requirements of a MnDOT Select Granular Material.
For a modular block wall with a total height of 8-10ft, we estimate a total excavation width
of approximately 22ft behind the wall face will be required. This excavation width assumes
an 10ft wide geogrid length and an 1H:1V excavation backslope, which is a typical
backslope angle as required by OSHA for cohesive soils. Similar to the Big Block wall
option, we estimate that this wall excavation will expose the exiting utilities located
beneath the Hansen Road curbline and they will likely need to be relocated. A portion of
the Hansen Road driving lane pavement section would also need to be removed and
replaced as part of wall excavation.
We estimate the installed cost of a modular block wall to be approximately $45/SF of wall
face. For comparison purposes only, we estimate a 350ft long by 8-10ft high MBW would
cost $140,000. This price would not include the demolition of the existing timber wall,
importing granular fill or pavement, utility and guard rail construction. The modular block
wall construction time would be similar to that of the Big Block Wall.
Option 3 – 1H:2.75V (70 Deg.) RSS
A third cost effective wall type that could be considered would be a vegetated face
1H:2.75V Reinforced Soil Slope (RSS). This type of grade separation structure is allowed

by MnDOT to support roadways. Unlike concrete walls, RSSs, are “flexible” structures
which can tolerate some settlement without suffering a loss of structural capacity. MnDOT
has a standard template for a 70° (1H:2.75V) RSS, however this template could not be used
for this project due to the 2H:1V sloping toe that would be present at the wall base. An
actual RSS design would be required. 1H:2.75V RSSs consist of Select Granular backfill
and multiple layers of geogrid reinforcement, typically installed at 2-3ft vertical increments
at horizontal lengths typically equal to 80 – 120% of the RSS height. Similar to the other
wall options, the geogrid length requirement would likely require encroachment and
relocation of the existing utilities and removing and then replacing the pavement section.
The face of a 1H:2.75V RSS is formed using a tiered face, which typically consists of a
series of vertical elements, successively stacked at a given horizontal offset to form tiers.
The vertical elements typically consist of geocells or geotextile mesh/turf reinforcement
mat wrap within metal wire basket forms. The wire basket face approach is shown in Figure
No.1, while the geocell face approach is show in Figure No. 2. Vegetation establishment
along the horizontal tiers is important to reduce slope face erosion potential over the long
term.

Geogrid Wrap and Wire Baskets

Gale-Tec Engineering, Inc., SEPTEMBER, 2020 7
Figure No. 2: RSS Facing Constructed using Geogrid and Geocells
Vegetation establishment on the RSS slope face is a critical component of the RSS design
and construction. A specialty topsoil, seed and fertilizer mix that promotes rapid, thorough
vegetation establishment should be used. On past projects, GTE has required that the seed
and fertilizer be pre-mixed prior to installation along the slope face. Frequent watering and
potentially hydroseeding or re-seeding during and post construction will also be required
to promote vegetation establishment.
We estimate the installed cost of a 1H:2.75V RSS to be approximately $20/SF of face. For
comparison purposes only, we estimate a 350ft long by 10ft high RSS to cost about
$70,000. This price would not include the demolition of the existing timber wall. The RSS
construction time would be similar to that of Options 1 and 2 with additional long term
maintenance potentially required to maintain vegetation.

4.0 SUMMARY
We believe that there are several types of grade separation structures that could be used for
this project. Each wall type would require geogrid reinforcement along at least a portion
wall alignment where the sloping toe is located at the wall base. An RSS or Modular Block
Wall (MBW) would require geogrid reinforcement along the entirety of the wall alignment.
Regardless of the wall type selected, the existing fiber optic and water main located
beneath the Hansen Rd curbline will be exposed by the wall excavation and would either
need to be relocated prior to construction or continually supported in the open excavation.
A cost effective wall option could be a 1H:2.75V RSS. This wall type may require
additional maintenance beyond initial construction, in the form of watering and seeding for
vegetation establishment. The construction time for all wall types should be similar.
Once a wall reconstruction option has been determined, then we can work with the City to
develop a final design including plans and specifications.
5.0 GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS
This report has been prepared in order to aid in the evaluation of proposed retaining wall
reconstruction project and assist the City of Edina in the design of this project. The scope
is limited to the specific project and location described herein, and our description of the
project represents our understanding of the significant aspects relevant to soil and
foundation characteristics. In the event that any changes in the design, as outlined in this
report, are planned, we should be informed so that changes can be reviewed and the
conclusion of this report modified or approved in writing. As a check, we recommend that
we be authorized to review project plans and specifications to confirm that our report
recommendations have been interpreted in accordance with our intent. Without this
review, we will not be responsible for misinterpretations of our data, or analysis and/or our
recommendations nor how these are incorporated into the final design.
The analysis and recommendations are based on the data obtained from soil borings
performed at the locations indicated in this report. This report does not reflect any
variations which may occur between these borings. In the performance of subsurface
explorations, specific information is obtained at specific locations and at specific times. It
is a well-known fact that variations in soil conditions occur in most sites between boring
locations. The nature and extent of the variation may not become evident until the course
of construction. If variations appear event during foundation installation or RSS
construction, it will be necessary for a re-evaluation of the recommendations of this report
after performing on-site observations during the construction period and noting the
characteristics of any variations.

GRADATION DESCRIPTION & TERMINOLOGY
Coarse Grained or Granular Soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained on a #200 sieve; they are described as: clays or clayey silts if they are cohesive, and silts if they are non-cohesive. In addition to gradation, granular soils are defined on the basis of their relative in-place density and fine-grained soils on the basis of their strength or consistency, and their plasticity.
