Date: February 17, 2021 Agenda Item #: V.A. To:Mayor and City Council Item Type: From: Item Activity: Subject:Handout CITY OF EDINA 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 www.edinamn.gov ACTION REQUESTED: INTRODUCTION: ATTACHMENTS: Description Meeting Handout Outline of concerns presented by telephone during the Community Comment portion of the Wednesday, February 17, 2021 Virtual Meeting of the Edina City Council. To bring forward some concerns to the Mayor and City Council about Road Reconstruction funding: 1) Concern that residents have not been fully informed about possible options relating to classification for Special Assessments, in that REU (Residential Equivalent Unit) does not appear to be the only option. The City has been classifying with REU, but it appears that Edina could incorporate a market value tier system, as does the State of Minnesota. ♦ Prospect Knolls-A Road Reconstruction project provides a compelling reason to utilize a tier system based on market value. ♦ Positive contribution to fairness aspect going forward, and in consideration of residents who have paid, or are paying, previously assessed amounts. ♦ Incorporating a market value tier component would not preclude consideration of additional possible funding changes. ♦ ATT 1) Minnesota Property Tax Administrator’s Manual, Module 3 Classification, Page 4, provides an explanation of one type of market value tax classification tier system utilized by the State of Minnesota for residential property taxation. 2) Concern regarding uniformity of reference when discussing Road Reconstruction funding. ♦ Need for absolute clarity and agreement about the components being discussed and compared. ♦ e.g. Edina already utilizes multiple funding sources for a Road Reconstruction project: ◊ 100% assessment refers only to the roadway portion of a Road Recon project. ◊ Sidewalks are paid from franchise fees. ◊ Utilities, and also curb and gutter, are paid from utility funds. ♦ ATT 2) and ATT 3) By contrast, Woodbury assesses residential property for 33% of a Road Reconstruction project, but that is 33% of the entire project (described in the attached 2017 policy pages). Thank you. Sincerely, Roberta Castellano 4854 France Ave S. Edina, MN 55410-1756 Attachments as described. Minnesota Property Tax Administrator’s Manual Module 3 | Classification Class 1 Page 4 of 77 Return to Table of Contents Updated January 2021 Class 1 Class 1a – Residential Homestead Real estate which is residential and is used for a homestead purposes is class 1a. The market value of class 1a property must be determined based upon the value of the house, garage, and the land. More information on homesteads may be found in Module 4 – Homesteads. In the case of a duplex or triplex where one of the units is used for homestead purposes, the entire property is deemed to be used for homestead purposes and should be classified as class 1a. The first $500,000 of market value of class 1a property has a net class rate of 1.00%. Any market value exceeding $500,000 has a class rate as 1.25%.. Tax Capacity Example: The tax capacity calculation for class 1a residential homestead property with an EMV of $600,000 would be calculated as follows (Note: a residential homestead with an EMV of $600,000 would not receive the residential homestead market value exclusion): Class TMV Class Rate Tax Capacity 1a $500,000 x 1.00% = $5,000 1a $100,000 x 1.25% = $1,250 $6,250 Total Tax Capacity Primary Statutory Reference: 273.13, subd. 22, para.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-17 SUPPORTING THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE A LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX FOR SPECIFIC CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS Manager Neal stated that this special meeting was called to approve a 2021 resolution for submittal to the State Tax Committee by January 31. Neal explained that the local options sales tax was first considered by the legislature in 2020 but did not become law. For 2021, the Committee considered using the 2020 resolution, but staff received notice recently that a new resolution was needed. If approved in 2021, Neal said it would allow Edina voters to vote as early as the 2022 General Election to consider a referendum to fund several park projects. He said voters would be able to vote separately for each project to be funded by the half cent sales tax for 20 years or until the debt is paid. Neal said the referendum would raise approximately $4M annually based on a study conducted by the University of Minnesota (the study was done pre-pandemic and would need to be updated to identify impacts). Member Staunton made a motion, seconded by Member Anderson, to approve Resolution No. 2021-17 supporting the authority to impose a local sales tax to fund specific capital improvements providing regional benefit, to establish the duration of the tax and the revenue to be raised by the tax, and to authorize the City of Edina to issue bonds supported by the sales tax revenue.

SKETCH PLAN FOR 4660 77TH STREET WEST – REVIEWED Community Development Director Teague stated the Council was asked to consider a sketch plan request to redevelop 4660 77th Street West in Pentagon Park. He shared history on the site which was part of the Pentagon Park office development and that the applicant was proposing to tear down the existing two office buildings on the site and construct a 5-6 story, 404-unit apartment. As this parcel was considered part of the Greater Southdale District, Mic Johnson, the City’s consultant provided a review of the proposed plans. This site was rezoned to Mixed Development District – 6 in 2008; however, no re-development has taken place. He shared the approved Overall Development Plan Concept approved as part of the rezoning for a mixture of office and residential uses and said the proposed plans would introduce housing into this MDD- 6 District, which was the original intent. The subject property was specifically contemplated for multi-family residential housing and considered for a PUD Rezoning in 2014 and 2017, however, that proposal was ultimately denied. Mr. Teague said a PUD was granted for the south portion of the original MDD-6 District in 2017 then outlined the request would require a rezoning from MDD-6 to PUD, flexibility through the PUD, and an ordinance to vary from parking and floor area ratio (FAR) requirements. The PUD Zoning was also used to ensure affordable housing on the site and he outlined issues for consideration that included density, traffic and parking, overall development plan, proposed heights, pedestrian connection to the park, sustainability, and possible green roof installation. Curt Gunsbury, Solhem Companies, shared background of their firm and past projects. Christina Smitten, Hillcrest Development, reviewed their work in acquiring properties surrounding Pentagon Park and their work on 4660 and 4040 77th Street West sites. Mr. Gunsbury presented a sketch plan and complications of connecting the site to the park and existing uses. He outlined their goal of meaningful connections with all parking setbacks currently conforming to the City’s ordinance, modification of the former draft PUD that better aligned with current conditions, and the Greater Southdale District Plan for transit and park use. He shared about discussions to provide parking for 400 units but still provide park connections with underground parking and builds up for above grade parking within a berm. He described natural spaces that shield the 500 parking stalls then stressed the importance of sustainability done in other projects for water use on site. He responded to Planning Commission input that included a façade with more articulated planes and separate facades, better managed entry points to the park with a west side entrance and enhanced east side to park, benches, pollinator gardens, and affordable housing guidelines. He noted their housing plan included a smaller footprint and would include 70-90% AMI then reviewed the sustainability checklist development, roof gardens, and intent to remove impermeable surfaces as part of the project to absorb rainwater for return to the aquifers. Mr. Gunsbury shared about bike storage, skating banks, kayaks and other equipment rental that would be available and the significant streambank restoration that would occur with native plantings. He noted their units included no carpet for Minutes/Edina City Council/February 2, 2021 Page 4 an allergen free environment as well as dual flush toilets and passive solar opportunities as the location was not conducive for full solar. Mike Kritch, BKV Group, shared more about the site that ensured the park would remain visible with an activated streetscape on West 77th Street and improved great street experience. He spoke about connections from West 77th Street to the park as a green experience that embraced the park itself with building orientation, plazas, fitness areas, and public bridges that connected the creek to other paths, pet features, enhanced pedestrian ways, and other elements. He shared axon views in detail and the goal to make more pedestrian connections based on Planning Commission feedback. The Council shared feedback that included its support of park integration goals, greenspaces, stepped down effect when approaching the park as creative and minimized the feeling of the building. The Council indicated it appreciated the sustainability goals and use of water then shared concerns about parking below grade to just above water table as water tables continue to rise. The Council thanked the applicant for their work towards the 80% AMI threshold and addressing the Planning Commission’s concerns then said it liked the U-shaped design towards the park and said east side entrance stopping points could be useful. The Council spoke about the 400-foot street wall and elevation and design concerns it presented such as glass and ways to break up spaces would be a challenge. The Council commented on the statement being made on 77th Street with sidewalks, drop points, and traffic congestion points for review then noted the number of units with potential traffic, pedestrians, and bikers would have to be reviewed. The Council agreed with the suggestion of an iconic entry by the Planning Commission and encouraged inclusion of 3- and 4-bedroom units for families. The Council asked about access to the east building and not having to go around the building for increased walkability to West 77th Street. The Council indicated it liked the cutouts but wanted ease of walkability with a path on the eastside. The Council spoke about how the plan highlighted the opportunity for this area as they would be the first redevelopment and how it provided access to the park with a residential use. The Council encouraged use on both the east and west for access from the park to West 77th Street and commented how people from the south accessed the buildings and park and how the 200x200 lot was a challenge. The Council suggested ways to decrease its mass and referred to easements on private property for access and West 77th Street sidewalk behind the bulkhead that needed to be wider than a conventional sidewalk and the continuation of social connections and creek interaction with private properties. The Council supported the proposed parking strategy and integration of open spaces and thanked the applicant for the potential partnership with the City. VIII.C. SKETCH PLAN FOR 4040 WEST 70TH STREET – REVIEWED Community Development Director Teague stated the Council was asked to consider a sketch plan request to redevelop 4040 West 70th Street. The applicant would tear down the existing office building and construct a new three-four story 118 senior affordable housing project with 95 underground and 25 surface parking stalls. The density proposed was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan/Southdale District Plan which limited the density to 75 units per acre for this site. The site was currently zoned PCD-3, Planned Commercial District and multi-family residential uses were conditionally permitted. The request would require the following a rezoning to PUD to ensure long term affordable housing and flexibility in setbacks and floor area ratio would be included. Mr. Teague outlined proposed height, parking and traffic study that would be required, affordable housing, sustainability and bicycle parking plans. Steve Minn, Lupe Development Partners, introduced the team from Ecumen and Pope Architects then reviewed the proposed permanent affordability senior housing project for the City. Zach Grosno, Pope Architects, shared site factors that included solar, vehicles, and massing. He said the Greater Southdale District Design Guidelines would be followed to create a contemporary project with raingardens and parking circulation, then outlined the 80/20 mix of one and two-bedrooms for total of 118 units and 120 parking spaces. Mr. Grosno said the project would embrace daylighting, stone elements, inclusion of art, and would be a 100% affordable project that addressed a variety of income levels and family types. He referred to concerns about sidewalks on Valley View Road that would be addressed by moving off four feet and noted how the raingardens were front and center for public education. Minutes/Edina City Council/February 2, 2021 Page 5 Brian Werdeman, Kimley-Horn and Associates, described the one-way circulation for guests and visitors, portico, northern driveway access to ramp to lower-level parking for residents, stormwater management through raingardens linked and provide enhanced quality, rate and volume controls, then spoke about the neighborhood meeting held regarding sidewalks and boulevard along Valley View Road and 70th Street and sidewalk width increasing to allow for better pedestrian circulation. Ann Stanfield, Ecumen, shared development partner and manager of building once opened, excited to serve seniors in Edina, project and location specific, and great location for housing given proximity to amenities and services. She spoke about creating location-specific programming such as arts programs, spoke about design and planning. Mr. Minn spoke about proposed solar system and goal to provide the same amenities as in their market rate projects with a community room, fitness center, and guest suite and their objective to have a step down to the west with economies of scale to provide a nice package on the exterior with two stories on the west then spoke about the need for feedback on building orientation. The Council responded to the sketch plan input stating the height fit nicely in this transition zone but suggested using the boulevard creation for a reason to have parking behind. The Council indicated the scale and use fit nicely in this zoning district then spoke about the need for an emergency access from Valley View Road and thanked the applicant for the thoughtfulness in stormwater management and bringing the building forward. The Council shared concerns about the West 70th Street setback and stressed the importance of walkability based on the residents who would be living there. The Council spoke about the importance of having a setback on West 77th Street and potential tradeoffs. The Council referred to acceptable building materials and asked about allowing 62 or older as a possibility and confirmed no congregate dining would occur. The Council spoke about the possibility of multi-generational living and how 80% AMI would be single bedroom use then encouraged the possibility of more bedrooms for family stay. The Council spoke about the importance of flooding and addressing the concern through stormwater management, especially for the neighborhood to the west. Mr. Minn explained how they would return with plans slightly higher than the west side similar to a letter “J” so the area would be less imposing for residents to the west then asked about the promenade and importance of the site being fully walkable. He spoke about the difficulty of blending multi-generational uses but noted the project would be one block from a school and daycares and said they would work to focus on that goal of connectivity. He then spoke about the possibility of speed design and need for financing assistance from the City going forward. The Council asked for more articulation where appropriate. Mr. Teague explained the plan was for the project to run through the middle of the block but noted it could be done more with Valley View Road, depending on development. IX.

INTRODUCTION: The attached staff report describes the water rates for the Morningside area in detail. The Ordinance can be approved, including waiver of seconding reading, at this Council meeting with a 4/5 favorable vote. First reading of the Ordinance would require 3/5 favorable vote at this meeting and then 3/5 favorable vote for the second reading at a later meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Report: Ordinance No. 2021-01 Setting Morningside Water Rate Ordinance No. 2021-01: Setting Morningside Water Rates February 17, 2021 Mayor and City Council Andrea Rich, Financial Analyst Ordinance No. 2021-01 Setting Morningside Water Rates Information / Background: The City of Minneapolis provides the water used by much of the Morningside area of Edina. Edina pays Minneapolis for the water that comes into our City from Minneapolis based on a contracted rate. The contracted rate that Edina pays is proportional to the rates the Minneapolis City Council sets for their own residents. The Minneapolis rate is staying flat for 2021 at $2.61 per 100 cubic feet of water in 2021. Since Edina bills in 1,000 gallons, the proposed rates shown below for 2021 have been converted to that measure. The City of Edina also provides services to this area in the form of meter reading, billing, water distribution infrastructure, and other services except for the water itself. To help offset the cost of these Edina-provided services, we charged $0.73/1,000 gallons in 2020. Staff is recommending to Council an increase for the Edina portion of the charge to $0.77/1,000 gallons in 2021. This is an increase of 5% which is consistent with the most recent rate study and the water rate increases Council recently approved for the rest of Edina. (per 1000 gal)2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Minneapolis charge 2.91$ 3.22$ 3.32$ 3.41$ 3.49$ 3.49$ Edina charge 0.61$ 0.64$ 0.67$ 0.70$ 0.73$ 0.77$ Total rate 3.52$ 3.86$ 3.99$ 4.11$ 4.22$ 4.26$ For areas of Edina that do not receive Minneapolis water, the adopted rates for 2021 will be $2.58, $3.43, or $5.36 per 1,000 gallons, depending on type and quantity of usage. The Morningside area has never had the same tiered rate structure as the rest of Edina because Minneapolis rates are not tiered. Also, it is important to note that Minneapolis delivers softened water while residents that receive Edina water must have a softener in their home. ORDINANCE NO. 2021-01 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDINA ORDAINS: Section 1. The following described fees of Schedule A to Code Section 2-724 are amended to read as follows: Chapter and Section Purpose of Fee/Charge 2020 Fee Proposed 2021 Fee Chapter 28 28-43(b) Water Service: 1. Per 1,000 gallons for areas of city, except in the Morningside area $4.22 Per 1,000 gallons—Morningside area $4.26 Per 1,000 gallons—Morningside area Section 2. The effective date of Section 1 of this Ordinance shall be March 1, 2021.

INTRODUCTION: The proposed agreement with Novak Consulting Group will facilitate an organizational analysis and staffing study for the field operations of the City’s Public Works Department and the Parks Maintenance Division of the P arks & Recreation Department. The City Council approved a similar agreement in January 2020 with Novak Group that was focused only on the P ublic Works Department. We canceled that agreement in April due to the pressures of the pandemic. Staff re-scoped the agreement with the addition of the Parks Maintenance Division, as those employees often work adjacent with Public Works staff. Staff recommends approval of the agreement. If approved, the consulting team will begin work on the contracted assignment immediately with a hope of completion for late summer, which will allow us to use the recommendations as part of our 2022-2023 budget planning process.

Our focus has always been to help local government and utility clients solve their financial, organizational, and technology challenges. We are dedicated to providing management consulting services to local governments and utilities. We appreciate the opportunity to submit our proposal, which has been developed to provide the City with concise yet thorough information that introduces our approach to organizational assessments and staffing analyses. Raftelis was established in 1993 to provide financial and management consulting services of the highest quality to the public sector. The Raftelis brand strengthened with the 2020 acquisition of The Novak Consulting Group (TNCG), which deepens our management consulting expertise specific to local governments. Our mission is to strengthen organizations, for those they serve and those who work in them. We believe our firm offers the City several distinct advantages: • A workable and insightful approach: Our team’s approach specifically addresses the City’s needs and will help develop a best practice-level plan to align staffing and organizational structure of the City with the vision and mission of the Lakeway community. In this current COVID-19 environment, prioritization and planning are even more critical as the financial impacts of the pandemic remain unknown. The City’s desire for gained organizational/operational efficiencies and effectiveness is the exact type of consulting work our firm performs. • An experienced team who knows challenges and opportunities faced by local governments: We are skilled professionals with direct experience in all facets of local government and utility operations. We work solely for local governments and utilities, and many of our team members were local government leaders in some of the best organizations across the country. Our team members understand what is required to deliver effective public services. 19 Garfield Place, Suite 500, Cincinnati, OH 45202 www.raftelis.com www.thenovakconsultinggroup.com • Personal service from senior-level consultants: You appreciate it when deadlines are met, phone calls are returned, and your challenges are given in-depth, out-of-the-box thinking. While some firms may assign your business to junior-level people, we offer exceptional service from senior-level consultants. We are proud of the resources that we can offer and welcome the opportunity to assist the City in this engagement. I am authorized to represent the firm.

NICHE EXPERTISE Our expertise lies in strengthening public-sector organizations. We’re consulting specialists rather than generalists, focusing our strengths to do a highly effective job for a specific group of clients. RAFTELIS/TNCG 3 RAFTELIS/TNCG 4 Project Plan The City of Edina is seeking a professional consultant to assist with a Public Works Organizational Assessment to strengthen the way the organization serves the public. The goal of this engagement is to identify opportunities for improved efficiency and effectiveness of operations, staffing, structure, technology, processes, and policies. Our team has extensive experience working with local government clients, and our focus is on providing solutions that work within the available resources and culture of the organizations we assist. The most innovative solutions in the world are valueless if they cannot be implemented or will not be accepted by the community. We pride ourselves on our ability to listen, analyze, and work with our clients to find not just a random selection of best practices taken from a manual, but real solutions that can be implemented effectively. We are pleased that our prior engagements have resulted in corresponding actions by our clients to implement the recommendations that we have jointly developed. One of our strengths is the ability to build on existing capabilities and resources and to help organizations see things from a different perspective. We do this by listening to our clients and really understanding what they have to say. We do not operate with a pre-packaged set of recommendations, and we diligently work to avoid trying to fit our clients into a standard mold. We recognize that there will always be competing interests between the levels of service and their costs. Defining “good enough” is a significant challenge that is aided by knowing that the work is both necessary and delivered as fficiently as possible. As resources diminish, we often find that organizations become increasingly reactive at a significant cost both to current and future operations. Maintaining planned, proactive approaches consistently generates a better, more cost- effective result, particularly when evaluated over time. Every organization develops traditions, practices, and routines. To a certain extent, these provide stability and consistency. It is essential that these are subject to regular review and analysis to ensure that they continue to represent best practices that meet the needs of the community. Our staff has substantial experience in developing performance measurement systems so that communities and departments can track progress over time. We have helped our clients create benchmarks that establish a baseline for performance and objectives for the future. We are excited about the opportunity to assist the City proactively plan and prepare for the future. We understand the importance of respecting the staff who are in place to serve the public. We assume good intent and will work with the City to collaboratively develop recommendations for improvement. Without this, implementation of recommendations and lasting improvements are not typically successful. We believe this intentional approach, coupled with our extensive expertise in all facets of public operations, makes us uniquely qualified to assist the City on this project within the timeframe requested. To complete this work, our team will apply a project approach, focusing on these specific objectives using our “Six R” approach. This involves soliciting and collecting information on City Responsibilities, Resources, Requirements, and Results in order to identify possible organizational and operational Revisions with an associated Roadmap to implement positive change. This approach is depicted in the following graphic. PROJECT PLAN RAFTELIS/TNCG 5 Responsibilities – What drives the need for your services? It might be the organization’s vision or mission, Federal, State, or local ordinance, or community service standards or expectations. We review these drivers to better understand service level constraints and opportunities for change. Resources – What assets are available to achieve your responsibilities? These may include time, human resources, staffing, management capacity, financial position, contractual services, technology, and equipment and facilities. We assess the adequacy of these resources based on the service level expectations. Requirements – What direction is provided to staff? The method by which staff approach service delivery is often guided by laws, codes, policies and procedures, or informal mechanisms like past practices or on-the-job training. These sources provided staff with direction on how they approach tasks and complete their work. We review these business processes to determine opportunities for improvement. Results – What are the outcomes of your services? Our approach connects your responsibilities, resources, and requirements with the outcomes expected of your services. We assess measures of efficiency and effectiveness to assist in data-driven decision-making. Recommendations – Are there opportunities for improvement? Based on our qualitative and quantitative analysis of your programs and services, we develop recommendations for improving organizational performance. These changes can range from high-level considerations (i.e., should we be in this business) to strategic issues (i.e., should we consider alternative service sources) to tactical issues (i.e., how can we improve the productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of the activity or service). Roadmap – How do we get there? We develop a plan that will guide the organization through the implementation of the recommendations for improvement. The Roadmap offers the recommended priority order of implementation, suggestions for phasing, and key milestones for success. The Roadmap also serves as a valuable tool for the organization as well as the community to promote accountability and communicate progress toward implementation. RAFTELIS/TNCG 6 THE FOLLOWING DETAILS THE PROPOSED WORK PLAN. Activity 1: Begin Engagement We will begin this engagement by meeting with the City’s project team to review the details and expectations of this effort and to finalize the project schedule. We will also discuss the City’s interest in this study, the strengths and weaknesses of the current operations and service delivery arrangement, and other issues that may be relevant to our work. Additionally, we will meet with the Public Works Department management team to begin to engage them in this process. Individual interviews will be conducted with the Public Works Director and the Parks & Recreation Director to learn more about their departments. We will request and review all relevant background information, such as budgets, previous studies, departmental work plans, organizational charts, job descriptions, and other similar data to inform our work. Throughout the project, we will provide the City with regular project status reports designed to maintain planned project progress and budget, identify and resolve project issues, and review project work products. In addition to formal status reporting, we anticipate numerous informal opportunities for the City to discuss various project and operating issues with our project manager and team leaders. We welcome the opportunity to have this informal dialogue since we believe it will contribute to a more successful project. Activity 2: Conduct Interviews To meet the objectives of this engagement, we will conduct an assessment of workload and operations in the Department. We employ several techniques for obtaining this information in order to collect sufficient data to understand operations, staffing, and structure. These data collection techniques include the following activities: • We schedule and conduct confidential interviews with staff in the Department. The interviews cover the organization, structure, and volume of work; the business processes used to accomplish work; supervisory relationships; performance management; and perceived strengths and weaknesses. • We will also meet with key internal customers of the Public Works Department to understand interactions with Public Works. • Interviews will also be conducted with managers and supervisors in the Park Maintenance and Natural Resources Division, and a focus group will be held with Park Service Workers. • In addition to formal interviews, we will tour Public Works facilities and various work sites throughout the City to conduct selected operational observations in order to understand how work is performed in your normal work environments. This will include walk-throughs in office settings and in the field. • Thorough data collection and document review relates particularly to budgeting and financing, work volumes, work cycle times, demands for service, equipment and infrastructure inventory, and other detailed data necessary for a complete analysis. We will tailor the collection of data to the needs and issues of the department and its operations. As an example, we typically collect the following data to better understand operations and staffing: o Work volume relative to staff resources o Customer service performance standards and compliance reports o Department budgets, including revenues and expenditures o Current fees and data supporting fee calculations o Current cost allocation plans and supporting data and calculations o Internal financial reports o Internal cost allocations by work unit o Job descriptions and wage and compensation plans RAFTELIS/TNCG 7 o Records reflecting training and certifications o Organization charts and staffing tables, including changes over the preceding three to five years o Strategic organizational plans o Relevant customer satisfaction data o Management reports, including any applicable performance measurement and reporting o Information technology infrastructure, including hardware and application inventories, use of field technologies, and system strategic plans Activity 3: Analyze Departmental Operations The project team will employ our Six R approach, as introduced previously. The approach guides our efforts through data development, issue identification, operational analysis, and creation of recommendations tailored to provide the optimal Public Works Department and park maintenance functions for the City of Edina. We will evaluate the organization and structure of the Department to assess its impacts on program operations now and in the future. We will look at both the organizational alignment of the Department as well as how it integrates with the overall structure of your government. We will conduct the assessment from the following aspects of organizational design: • The number of organizational levels and reporting procedures and the impacts on the size and composition of the organization’s command structure • Alignment of leadership, management, and supervision • The relative importance of specific operations in regard to organizational placement • Adequacy of communication and coordination between and among operating units • Spans of control and management supervision • Overlapping or duplicated functions • Clear lines of authority and responsibility • Sufficiency of supervisory ratios • Distinct work units to carry out important functions We assess operational policies and procedures, including relevant rules and provisions that impact the efficient operations of the Department and delivery of program services. The project team reviews your documented policies and procedures to address and resolve the following questions: • Are the manuals/documents complete? Do major gaps exist relating to operations? • Are your policies and procedures updated frequently enough to reflect legal, departmental, and community changes? What is the process for updating these manuals and documents? • How are the contents of these manuals and documents and their revisions communicated throughout your organization, including availability in electronic format? • Do multiple, conflicting, or overlapping policies and procedures exist? • Which policies and procedures foster efficiency and effectiveness, and which ones are hindrances? In the latter, what is the business case in support of the policy, and can that policy be altered? • How well do your customers understand your policies and procedures, accept them, and comply with them? What form of customer outreach do you do to assure this understanding and acceptance? • How does the procurement and selection process enhance quality and ensure compliance with applicable policies? We leverage the prior activities to define appropriate staffing levels based upon the organizational, policy, and process reviews. Our project team will employ a holistic approach using a variety of staffing assessment mechanisms. This approach incorporates a department’s desired set of program service levels, its budgetary capacity, the skills and training of the current workforce, its access to technology, and many other non-numeric drivers. This will include an assessment RAFTELIS/TNCG 8 of contracted resources and how these resources supplement or augment current staff capacity and skillsets. To further assess contracted resources, we will identify and spot audit several projects to determine contract documentation compliance. We will identify best practices and determine where gaps may exist in the Department’s current delivery of each of its services, including engineering, plan review, permitting, inspections, contraction, and others. We will develop recommendations for closing those gaps and improving efficiency, based on available resources. Additionally, recommendations for streamlining processes, reallocating personnel, and other appropriate recommendations will be prepared and reviewed with the City. Activity 4: Prepare Observations and Recommendations After Activity 3, we will prepare a summary of our observations and initial recommendations. We will review the summary with the City to discuss our approach and context for potential recommendations. Additional follow-up on issues or analysis will be conducted as needed. Activity 5: Prepare Project Report We will then prepare a draft report. The report will include an executive summary, our methodology and approach, and a thorough description of all recommendations for the Department. The draft report will be provided to the City for review for factual accuracy and to discuss content and approach. Based on feedback from the City, we will prepare and present the final report. The final report will include the Roadmap introduced previously to provide additional detail on recommendations and to support implementation efforts by the City. The Roadmap includes the implementation steps necessary for each recommendation, as well as cost estimates where appropriate. RAFTELIS/TNCG 9 Timeline The timeline for this engagement is 14-16 weeks from project initiation. We expect to refine this with the City during Activity 1.

INTRODUCTION: This is a sole source contract for the programming and construction administration for upgrading our Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The Edina drinking water system consists of eighteen municipal drinking water wells, four Water Treatment Plants (WTP s) where filtration and chemical addition for disinfection and regulatory requirements takes place, and five treated water storage facilities – four elevated water storage tanks and one underground storage reservoir. Edina’s sanitary collections system consists of twenty-two sanitary lift stations. The stormwater collections system consists of nine active stormwater lift stations. The drinking water, sanitary and stormwater systems are combined to a single SCADA application for control and monitoring with P rogrammable Logic Controllers (PLC), licensed telemetry radios, two SCADA servers, and three SCADA workstations. The process instrumentation and control system components for the wells, WTP sites, storage facilities, and lift stations are wired to a control panel at each location. This a very extensive system that keeps all of our utility components in operation and communicating with themselves. It is imperative that we have a single provider that manages and provides the service to troubleshoot each component and program them to have redundant systems to ensure continuous operation. We have confidence in AE2S's ability to perform this function for the City of Edina. Bids for the construction will be awarded in March of 2021 with completion of the project in March of 2022.

INTRODUCTION: The City of Edina issued a Request for Proposals for professional services to develop a climate action plan for the Edina community. Seven staff reviewed the ten proposals received, from their perspectives as subject matter experts, and four of them were invited to interview with four staff. Staff conducted final firm reviews, taking into account firm proposals, interviews, and alignment with City Council values of community engagement, equity and sustainability. Upon this review, staff recommends paleBLUEdot, LLC to lead the City's Climate Action Plan development. paleBLUEdot, LLC meets the City's triple-bottom line approach to serving the community. Local to the Twin Cities metro, paleBLUEdot understands and already has experience in the Edina community. Contracting with a local firm means the City will not incur additional greenhouse gas emissions by asking a national or regional firm to travel to Edina, and the contract fee paid to paleBLUEdot stays in the Twin Cities, bolstering the local economy. paleBLUEdot brings a breadth of experiences to Edina, having previously worked with other city, state and tribal governments on similar scopes of work, and includes a team of experts with diverse backgrounds and a commitment to community equity.

INTRODUCTION: At its Feb. 2 meeting, the Council agreed to receive, via an Advisory Communication, a formal Resolution from the Energy and Environment Commission to support Minnesota Pollution Control Rulemaking to adopt Clean Cars Standards. ATTACHMENTS: Description Resolution 2021-19 Support Clean Cars Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 2021-19 A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT CLEAN CARS MINNESOTA WHEREAS, transportation is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs), both nationally and in Minnesota, making the sector a significant contributor to climate change, which is already affecting Minnesotans. WHEREAS, the Next Generation Energy Act of 2007, directed the state of Minnesota to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15% by 2015, 30% by 2025, and 80% by 2050 (from 2005 levels). WHEREAS, Minnesota did not hit the 2015 target and is not on pace to meet future goals. WHEREAS, tailpipe pollution from vehicles is one of the primary sources of exposure to harmful air pollutants in many communities around Minnesota. WHEREAS, reducing emissions would have a positive impact on the communities that are disproportionately exposed to tailpipe pollution, particularly communities of color and lower-income communities in Minnesota. WHEREAS, in 2019, Governor Walz announced that Minnesota would join 14 other states and the District of Columbia in adopting “clean car standards,” which are regulations and incentives for the auto industry aimed to reduce pollution and give customers more choices for zero emission vehicles. WHEREAS, there are more makes and models of zero emission vehicles available in states that have adopted the clean car standard than can be acquired in Minnesota. WHEREAS, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has been given the authority by the state though statute 116.70 subd 2(a) to act on reducing emissions in order to protect Minnesota air, water and health. Therefore, the MPCA has been directed to lead the rule making process for the clean car standard. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina the City formally approves the Resolution of Support for the MPCA Rulemaking to adopt the Clean Cars Standards.

INTRODUCTION: An advanced building performance standard is necessary to allow the State and cities to cost effectively meet our climate and other clean energy goals. Please see attached staff report and resolution to support establishing a policy to support standards in the State of Minnesota. ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Report: Resolution No. 2021-20: To Support Better Building Standards Resolution No. 2021-20: To Support Better Building Standards February 17, 2021 Mayor and City Council Grace Hancock, Sustainability Coordinator Resolution No. 2021-20: To Support Better Building Standards in the State of Minnesota Information / Background: An advanced building performance standard is necessary to allow the State and cities to cost effectively meet our climate and other clean energy goals. The State of Minnesota, and many cities, have climate action goals that call for an 80% reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, but we are not on track to meet these goals. New and renovated buildings are a significant source of GHG emissions. In Edina, commercial buildings make up approximately 60% of the energy consumption. Today, Minnesota cities cannot require that commercial buildings meet a standard above the state code, thereby limiting the carbon reduction cities can achieve. An advanced building standard was recognized as a key GHG reduction strategy more than a decade ago, first through the state-led MN Climate Change Advisory Group stakeholder process 2008 report and again through the EQB-led Climate Solutions and Economic Opportunities (CSEO) project in 2014. Additionally, an advanced building performance standard would have a positive impact on job growth in the building construction, building operations, and design sectors. In 2021 members of the State Legislature are proposing an advanced commercial energy code legislation to address this challenge. This legislation would apply to multi-family units 4+ stories, would be updated every three years instead of six to better keep up with advances in technology, sets regular energy efficiency improvement requirements, and aims to reach net zero in commercial building energy use by 2036. This proposal would bolster Edina and Minnesota statewide efforts to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, and meet the challenge of climate change. RESOLUTION NO. 2021-20 A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT BETTER BUILDING STANDARDS IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WHEREAS, there is overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is a significant threat to human civilization and is caused primarily by the combustion of fossil fuels; and WHEREAS, buildings account for approximately 40% of all the energy used in Minnesota and new development practices have the opportunity to make the greatest long standing impact; and WHEREAS, the state of Minnesota is not on track to meet its 80% carbon reduction by 2050 goal; and WHEREAS, City of Edina is not on track to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction goal of 80% by 2050. WHEREAS, high efficiency energy standards present opportunities for workers in manufacturing, construction, and service sectors, and it is essential that workers play a role in helping drive innovation towards a clean energy economy while creating and maintaining family-sustaining jobs; and WHEREAS, the City of Edina is interested in improving health and supporting economic development through climate action; and WHEREAS, the City of Edina is already experiencing the impacts of a changing climate; WHEREAS, highly efficient buildings enhance financial and environmental resilience for building owners and tenants, and WHEREAS, the City of Edina supports an equitable and just transition to a low-carbon society; WHEREAS, the "Improving building energy efficiency in commercial and multi-family construction" report by the State of Minnesota recommends that the current statewide commercial energy code be advanced and accelerated such that it achieves net zero carbon/energy by 2036. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina the City formally supports state legislation leading to higher performing commercial buildings through advanced energy performance standards.

INTRODUCTION: This item formally adopts the City’s policy goals and objective as reflected in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and CWRMP, and the City’s budgetary constraints. City staff shall continue to implement the policy of only expending City resources to pump water features in response to requests when flooding threatens principle (habitable) structures. ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Report: Resolution No. 2021-22: City's Policy of Prioritizing Flooding Issues Resolution No. 2021-22: City's Policy of Prioritizing Flooding Issues February 17, 2021 Mayor and Council Scott Neal, City Manager Chad A. Millner, P.E., Director of Engineering Brian Olson, Public Works Director Resolution No. 2021-22: City's Policy of Prioritizing Flooding Issues Information / Background: On August 7, 2019, the City Council received comments from several residents, including a petition signed by additional residents who were not present at the August 7 meeting, regarding increased water levels and flooding in Highlands Park East Basin. On October 1, 2019, the City Council provided funding to conduct a water level study of Highlands Lake and the East Basin, including the development of concept-level mitigation options to address rising water levels. On July 21, 2020, the City Council received a report from Barr Engineering detailing the results of the water level study of Highlands Lake and the East Basin. Study Summary The Report found development in the Highlands Park area began in 1953, and by the 1970s the area was nearly as developed as it is today. Most of the development in the area occurred outside or adjacent to areas saturated with water. The two exceptions are the tennis court at 5241 Lochloy Drive and the current playground area just south of Highlands Lake. These developments were constructed in areas that appear to have been wet and would have historically stored surface water, however, they were constructed prior to any official rules about filling in wetlands (e.g., the Wetland Conservation Act, first passed in 1991 in Minnesota). Based on the information reviewed, the Report concluded, there is no conclusive evidence that any acts by the City impacted water levels in the East Basin. Nevertheless, the Report included four concept-level mitigation options to address rising water levels in the East Basin. One mitigation option identified in the Report was diversion of the East Basin drainage area to Highlands Lake. The Report, however, concluded this mitigation measure would result in only minor differences in the water levels of each water body. A second mitigation option identified by the Report was the construction of a floodwall at the private property boundary or around important features. The Report, however, noted the property boundaries of the impacted properties on the south side of the East Basin fall within the basin itself. Due to state STAFF REPORT Page 2 regulations prohibiting filling wetlands and Nine Mile Creek Watershed District requirements concerning wetland buffering, the Report concluded this option was not feasible. Likewise, the City’s Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan § 3.5.1.1 notes the City has adopted a policy discouraging wetland alteration as it relates to wetlands within the City. This policy is consistent with the overarching Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Water Management Plan and their rules. Nine Mile Creek Watershed District is the responsible local government unit for the East Basin under the Wetland Conservation Act. Their Wetlands Management Policy statement reads: It is the policy of the Board of Managers to ensure the preservation of the natural resources, habitat, water treatment and water storage functions of wetlands. This rule is intended to: 3.1.1 Achieve no net loss in the extent, quality and ecological diversity of existing wetlands in the watershed. 3.1.2 Require buffers around wetlands affected by land-altering activities regulated by the District. 3.1.3 Prevent direct and indirect impacts to wetlands and require replacement of wetlands affected by land-altering activities regulated by the District. 3.1.4 Maintain wetland integrity and prevent fragmentation of wetlands. Not only is the City’s wetland alteration policy consistent with the overarching policy, but other policies ensure the City’s policies are in harmony with NMCWD’s rules. For instance, while the area surrounding the East Basin has not experienced any new development since 1988, or road reconstruction since 1999, there have been multiple home reconstructions. Since 2014 the City has implemented a policy under which a homeowner seeking to complete a reconstruction such as this must ensure and show the reconstruction will result in no net increase in water runoff rate or volume for a 10 percent probability storm. Additionally, the City has policies in place to prevent direct and indirect impacts to wetlands. The City has developed an inspection policy, under which twenty percent of all City storm sewer infrastructure is inspected every year, resulting in the entire system being inspected every five years. In addition to these inspections, the City conducts maintenance and repair activities as needed based on the inspections. The City developed this policy to maintain its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit, however, the water resource management activities undertaken by the City of Edina through the implementation of this plan exceeds the minimum standards required by the MS4 general permit. These inspection and maintenance activities include storm sewer infrastructure with outfalls in wetlands. Typical maintenance activity involves sediment removal at stormwater outfalls. Notably, the Barr Report acknowledged City staff recently inspected the East Basin prior to completion of the Report, and reported there was minimal sedimentation. The Barr Report further concluded there was no evidence sedimentation is impacting the STAFF REPORT Page 3 functionality of the East Basin wetland and no evidence that any acts by the City impacted water levels in the East Basin. The City does not inspect wetlands beyond the potential sedimentation deposit areas at the stormwater outfalls, as it is the policy and practice of the City to leave wetlands in their natural state. There is no allegation or indication the stormwater outfalls to the East Basin are blocked or otherwise not functioning properly. A third option identified by the Report was more frequent maintenance of the Highlands Lake pump operation. The Report hypothesized that if the Highlands Lake pump station continuously operates at maximum capacity the groundwater gradient between Highlands Lake and the East Basin may decrease. In reviewing this mitigation option, Public Works Director Brian Olson noted the Highlands Lake pump station is monitored daily and physically visited at least weekly. Therefore, the suggestion the City could more frequently maintain the Highlands Lake pump operation does not reflect the reality the Highlands Lake pump station is already monitored as frequently as possible and maintained as frequently as is necessary to ensure the pump operation operates at maximum capacity as continuously as possible. A fourth option identified by the Report was pumping the East Basin. The Report explained a small submersible pump could be installed to pump water from the East Basin to Highlands Lake, which would act much like a sump pump that is automatically triggered on and off based on the water levels in the East Basin. A permanent pumping solution would require the installation of a lift station, which could cost as much as $100,000, along with ongoing operation and maintenance costs. The Report, however, noted the pumping option did not fit within the City’s flood mitigation project policy at this time. This remains the case for multiple reasons. In addition to the general City policy discouraging wetland alterations, the City developed a pumping policy in 2014, in response to complex and competing concerns regarding service levels provided by the City. It is believed the City would pump water features in response to citizen requests before 2014, but the political calculus used to determine when, and if, City resources would be devoted to pumping was unclear, and in hindsight appears to have given department heads unrestrained discretion to determine whose pumping requests would be responded to and whose would not. In the spring and early summer of 2014, the City experienced record-level flooding throughout the City. Late winter snowpack and ice out were coupled with record precipitation between January 1 and June 30, 2014 to create record stream flows, record high water levels, and various flooding events throughout the City. The City responded to these flooding events by engaging in an unprecedented flood prevention effort, which included preparing roughly 15,000 sandbags for distribution to residents. Of the 15,000 sandbags, more than 11,000 sandbags were distributed to residents. Despite these efforts, the City received more requests for pumping than it could handle. June 19th and 20th of 2014 resulted in: 42 reported sanitary sewer backup service requests, 147 flooding service requests and 5 street flooding road closures. Every available staff member from the Public Works Department was focused on the response to those service requests including investigation/identification of possible solutions, creation and distribution of sandbags, and protection of life safety and welfare. STAFF REPORT Page 4 At this time, City Administrator Scott Neal, in conjunction with Public Works Director Brian Olson, and Engineering Director Chad Millner, weighed the City’s response to these requests. Rather than responding to these requests in the haphazard manner it appears the City previously addressed them, Staff developed a policy under which these requests would be responded to in a reasoned and equitable manner. To provide a rational basis for efficiently allocating the City’s limited budgetary and personnel resources, staff decided to prioritize pumping requests by their potential affect on the health, safety, and welfare of residents. The City’s Comprehensive Plan recognizes the primary factor in determining the service level provided by the City’s Water Resource Utilities is the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens now and into the future. Chapter 7 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan notes the City Council is the policy body for the utility and is responsible to set the strategic and policy direction of the utility. Chapter 7 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan notes the City Manager is the chief executive of the City’s water utilities and is ultimately responsible for the function of the utility and the delegation of areas of responsibility to various City Departments. The City’s Comprehensive Plan also recognizes the need to ensure that equity is taken into account when providing all City services. Staff determined the City would only expend its resources to pump water features in response to requests when flooding threatens principle (habitable) structures. The City’s Comprehensive Plan recognizes climate change will affect the health and safety of people and property in Edina, and impact the City’s approach to managing water resources and infrastructure. Due to the effects of climate change, events such as those which occurred in 2014 are expected to occur more frequently. As a result, the City does not have the personnel or budgetary resources to pump water features in response to every citizen pumping request. To estimate the resources this would require, it is worth noting the City recently pumped a wetland at the expense of the surrounding property owners. These property owners were charged ~$20,000.00 for this service. Assuming seasons like 2014 will become more commonplace, a policy that would require the City provide this level of service in response to every request would result in an annual cost that is financially unsustainable for the City. City Staff has advised the City Council of this policy in the past and the City Council understood the reasoning behind the policy, and concurred with it. A Resolution regarding this policy, and the East Basin is included for your consideration. RESOLUTION NO. 2021-22 A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE CITY’S POLICY OF PRIORITIZING FLOODING ISSUES WITHIN THE CITY, AND THE EAST BASIN WHEREAS, regional groundwater levels have increased by multiple feet in the last decade. Measurements at the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District groundwater monitoring well show that nearby groundwater levels have increased approximately 8 feet since 2010. High groundwater levels are likely due to a number of factors, such as a long recent period of increased precipitation and subsequent recharge to groundwater. High groundwater can result in increases to inflows to lakes and ponds. WHEREAS, precipitation totals have been increasing in the Twin Cities area for decades. The total precipitation in 2019 was the highest amount of annual precipitation on record. Water levels are substantially affected by extended periods of high precipitation. WHEREAS, the City’s Comprehensive Plan recognizes climate change will affect the health and safety of people and property in Edina, and impact the City’s approach to managing water resources and infrastructure. WHEREAS, the City’s Comprehensive Plan recognizes the need to ensure that equity is taken into account when providing all City services. WHEREAS, chapter 7 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan notes the City Council is the policy body for the utility and is responsible to set the strategic and policy direction of the utility. WHEREAS, chapter 7 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan notes the City Manager is the chief executive of the City’s water utilities and is ultimately responsible for the function of the utility and the delegation of areas of responsibility to various City Departments. WHEREAS, the City’s Comprehensive Plan recognizes the primary factor in determining the service level provided by the City’s Water Resource Utilities is the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens now and into the future. WHEREAS, the City’s Comprehensive Water Resource Management (“CWRMP”) sets forth a number of pertinent policies, including the following: 3.1.2 Runoff Management and Flood Protection Policies 6. The City will determine the applicable 1-percent-annual-chance flood elevation(s) by using the best information available at the time. 7. The applicable 1-percent-annual-chance flood elevation will be based on a 24-hour duration precipitation event, unless an event of another duration is determined to result in a higher flood elevation. 2 8. The City will allow outlets from landlocked basins only when such outlets are at or above the 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain, are consistent with state and federal regulations, and the downstream, riparian, and habitat impacts of such outlets have been analyzed and no detrimental impacts result. 3.2 Floodplain Management, includes policies for managing floodplain, 1. The City will work to maintain no net loss of floodplain storage and will manage local and regional floodplains to maintain critical 100-year flood storage volumes. 2. The City will reduce the risk and consequence of flooding through the enforcement of engineering standards and the Floodplain Districts Overlay ordinance. * * * 6. The City recognizes that addressing regional and local flood issues throughout the community will require multiple strategies and many actions implemented over a generational time frame. The City will employ the strategies and associated actions summarized in Table 3.2 for addressing flood issues. 3.5.1 Wetland Policies 1. City discourages wetland alterations. 4.1.3.1 Problem Areas Selection Process This section describes in detail how the City prioritized areas of study based on structures impacted. 15.0 Issues and Implementation Program Table 15.1 Water Resources Implementation Program Table 15.2 Potential Implementation Activities. WHEREAS, it is believed the City would pump water features in response to citizen requests before 2014, but the political calculus used to determine when, and if, City resources would be devoted to pumping was unclear, and in hindsight appears to have given department heads unrestrained discretion to determine whose pumping requests would be responded to and whose would not.

Of the 15,000 sandbags, more than 11,000 sandbags were distributed to residents. WHEREAS, despite these efforts, the City received more requests for pumping than it could handle. At this time, City Administrator Scott Neal, in conjunction with Public Works Director 3 Brian Olson, and Engineering Director Chad Millner, weighed the City’s response to these requests. Rather than responding to these requests in the haphazard manner it appears the City previously addressed them, City Staff developed a policy under which these requests would be responded to in a reasoned and equitable manner.

In doing so, City Staff determined the City would only expend its resources to pump water features in response to requests when flooding threatens principle (habitable) structures, consistent with the policy statements in the Comprehensive Plan and the CWRMP. WHEREAS, City Staff has advised the City Council of this policy in the past and the City Council understood the reasoning behind the policy, and concurred with it. WHEREAS, there are a substantial number of residences that remain at risk for flooding in the City. WHEREAS, the City does not have the personnel or budgetary resources to pump water features in response to every citizen pumping request. WHEREAS, on August 7, 2019, the City Council received comments from several residents, including a petition signed by additional residents who were not present at the meeting, regarding increased water levels and flooding in the Highlands Park East Basin.

The Report, however, noted the pumping option did not fit within the City’s flood mitigation project policy at this time, as there were no principle (habitable) structures at risk of flooding. WHEREAS, other concerns expressed by residents at the August 7, 2019, such as the loss of trail access to Highlands Park through the East Basin, were beyond the scope of the study completed by Barr Engineering and not addressed in the Report. WHEREAS, reestablishing this trail though the installation of additional fill would be inconsistent with City policies against altering wetlands, and inconsistent with state and local regulations regarding filling wetlands. This would not, however, prevent the City from reestablishing trail access through alternative means, such as an elevated boardwalk. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina: 1. Consistent with the City’s policy goals and objective as reflected in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and CWRMP, and the City’s budgetary constraints, City Staff shall continue to implement the policy of only expending City resources to pump water features in response to requests when flooding threatens principle (habitable) structures. 2. The boundary of the property located at 5241 Lochloy Drive falls within the boundary of the East Basin itself, and contains areas that appear to have been wet and would have historically stored surface water. In light of state regulations regarding wetland conservation, local regulations regarding wetland buffering, and City policies regarding wetland pumping, it would be inappropriate for the City to attempt to implement any of the mitigation options considered by the Report. 3. The City Parks Department shall consider the feasibility of constructing a boardwalk through the East Basin to provide trail access to Highlands Park, and provide its recommendations to the City Council at a future meeting. 5 Dated: February 17, 2021.

INTRODUCTION: With the City Council's race and equity statement in mind, the Communications Department, in partnership with the Race and Equity Division, wants to be more intentional in recognizing certain dates that celebrate the racial, cultural and religious diversity in Edina. A list of dates has been created with feedback from staff groups, the Human Rights & Relations Commission and Communications Feedback Group. Along with City holidays and the list of religious observances previously approved by the City Council, the City will recognize these City Observances/Days of Significance in its communications in at least the following ways: Acknowledgment on the home page of the City’s website, EdinaMN.gov Listing on City Calendar (website and/or print) Message on outdoor message board at City Hall Edina TV video bulletin board message Edinet (internal employee website) post or banner image Social media post The list of City Observances/Days of Significance and the ways the City acknowledges them will be reviewed annually. ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Report: City Observances/Days of Significance Presentation February 17, 2021 Mayor and City Council Jennifer Bennerotte, Communications Director, and Heidi Lee, Race & Equity Coordinator City Observances/Days of Significance Information / Background: The City Council’s race and equity statement reads, in part, “The City of Edina is committed to being welcoming and inclusive to all who live, work and spend time in the city. To support and foster inclusivity, City staff members are dedicated to acknowledging, seeking out and celebrating the diversity of Edina community members and proactively working together to eliminate systemic and institutional barriers to ensure all people have the opportunity to thrive in Edina.” With that statement in mind, the Communications Department, in partnership with the Race and Equity Division, wants to be more intentional in recognizing certain dates that celebrate the racial, cultural, and religious diversity in Edina. The City currently has two different lists of observances: City Holidays and Religious Observances. Most City holidays are governed by Minnesota State Statute. The list of Religious Observance was approved by the City Council. The Communications Department has compiled an additional list of days that have significant importance to various racial, cultural and religious groups in the Edina community. The additional days of significance/observances would not impact the City offices hours or dictate whether public meetings are held; those additional observances would demonstrate intentionality in the City’s communications.

The Communications Department has committed to a minimum of six acts of acknowledgement on: • Acknowledgment on the home page of the City’s website, EdinaMN.gov • Listing on City Calendar (website and/or print) • Message on outdoor message board at City Hall • Edina TV video bulletin board message • Edinet (internal employee website) post or banner image • Social media post The six acts of acknowledgement is the standard for each observance; however, additional acts of acknowledgement may be added to a day of significance pending the capacity of staff members and relevancy of the day. The observances on the Days of Significance list was presented to different staff and community groups for feedback, including the City’s Executive Leadership Team, Racial Equity Advancement Team (REAT), Human Rights & Relations Commission and Communications Feedback Group. There were patterns in the themes of feedback provided by those groups: • It is important to ensure there is intentional, meaningful and sustainable acknowledgement. • There should be a process for adding additional Days of Significance and/or getting additional feedback from community members. The Days of Significance list is focused on acknowledging racial, ethnic cultural and religious groups’ observances that have not been traditionally and/or consistently acknowledged in the City’s communications. However, the list of days can expand pending the needs and/or feedback from the community. The list will be reviewed annually to assess if additional days should be added. Any new dates will be brought to City Council for approval. With the Days of Significance list, it is a continuation of City Council’s commitment to celebrating the diversity of Edina community members and reaffirming the City’s commitment to its race and equity statement, which also includes “diversity, equity and inclusion will be a continuous process of learning and adapting to the multiple needs of all in the community.” Staff Recommendation: The Communications Department and Race & Equity Division recommends the City Council approve the Days of Significance List for 2021: • February – Black History Month STAFF REPORT Page 3 • Feb. 12 – Chinese New Year • March – Women’s History Month • March 8 – International Women’s Day • March 29 – Holi • April 4 – Easter • April 12 – Ramadan • June – Pride Month • June 19 – Juneteenth • Aug. 18 – Ashura • Oct. 11 – Indigenous Peoples Day • Nov. 28 – Hanukkah • Dec. 26 – Kwanzaa City Observances The City's Commitment The City of Edina is committed to being welcoming and inclusive to all who live, work and spend time in the city.

Develop Implementation Plan ENGAGEMENT REPORT I LOCAL SPEED LIMIT EVALUATION I CITY OF EDINA 2 STAKEHOLDERS - Edina residents - Edina commuters - Transportation Commission - Cities of Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Hopkins, St. Louis Park PROJECT BACKGROUND Effective August 1, 2019, Minnesota cities have the authority to set speed limits on streets they control. The City is proposing to use this new authority to change speed limits on local streets. The current speed limit on most Edina streets is 30 miles per hour (mph). The current local speed limits in Edina are attached in Appendix A. About 40% of residents regularly express concern about speeding in their neighborhoods in the City's Quality of Life survey. The City is supportive of efforts to improve safety and mobility for all users and all modes of transportation. These goals are reflected in the Comprehensive Plan, the Living Streets Plan, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and the Active Routes to School Plan. Staff performed a technical review of local traffic and crash data, as well as a review of national industry guidance on local speed limits. The general findings of this review include; • The majority of drivers on Local and Local Connector roads in Edina obey the posted speed limit (most are 30 mph). • Between 2015 and 2019, only one pedestrian fatality was reported in Edina along County Road 17 (France Avenue). • Accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists in Edina were relatively rare (less than 10%), but these accidents are more than three times as likely to result in a minor or serious injury compared to overall crashes. • Lower speeds reduce the likelihood and severity of motor vehicle crashes and promote public health and safety. • Utilizing 85th percentile to set speed limits prioritizes motor vehicle traffic over the safety of all modes of transportation, including pedestrians and cyclists. • Citywide speed limits are generally easier to implement, may be easier for drivers to follow and are recommended where there is not clear differentiation between major and minor streets. The full technical review is attached in Appendix B. Staff recommends a uniform approach to setting local speed limits. The recommended speed limits are as follows: • 30 mph on four-lane major streets and other major streets with high non-local traffic • 25 mph on two-lane major and minor streets • 20 mph on major streets within School Zones (no change from current restriction) • 15 mph in minor streets within School Zones (no change from current restriction) • 10 mph on alleys (no change from current restriction) Speed limits on streets owned by other jurisdictions will remain as they are, unless changed by their respective agencies. These include streets owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Hennepin County and private streets. Appendix C shows all recommended speed limits on local roads in Edina. ENGAGEMENT REPORT I LOCAL SPEED LIMIT EVALUATION I CITY OF EDINA 3 The City’s public engagement followed protocols developed by the International Association for Public Participation. Better Together Edina, the City’s online engagement platform, allowed residents to participate in the process online. In-person meetings and activities were not offered in order to comply with the Governor’s Stay Safe Minnesota Order and to ensure the safety of all residents and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. The website allowed residents to provide feedback, ask questions and stay up-to-date the project. The following report includes feedback submitted through Better Together Edina and direct correspondence together to show that all input was equally valuable. The final recommendation was influenced by the feedback received as well as traffic analysis, local policies and national guidance. BETTER TOGETHER EDINA PROJECT PAGE Oct 31 - Site Visits: 999 - Aware Visitors: 825 - Informed Visitors: 478 - Engaged Visitors: 138 Dec 10 - Site Visits: 1.1K - Aware Visitors: 867 - Informed Visitors: 492 - Engaged Visitors: 138 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SUMMARY The public input was collected in one of three manners; through Better Together Edina via the Feedback Form or Map tools or via direct correspondence with City staff. FEEDBACK FORM The Feedback Form tool allowed members of the public to submit general comments on the recommended local speed limits. 131 submissions were received through this tool. Staff reviewed each response and assigned each to one of four general categories. 68 responses (or 51.9%) were generally supportive of the current recommendation, while 31 responses (or 23.7%) were generally unsupportive. Additionally, 18 responses (or 13.7%) expressed support for lower speed limits than the 25-mph minimum recommended by staff. Some of these responses specifically noted that neighboring cities like Minneapolis and St. Louis Park have implemented or are in the process of implementing local speed limits as low as 20 mph. 14 responses (or 10.7%) were categorized as Other. These responses included specific observations and questions that did not appear to express an opinion on the recommendation (either supportive or unsupportive). Figure 1 shows the distribution of Feedback Form responses received. ENGAGEMENT REPORT I LOCAL SPEED LIMIT EVALUATION I CITY OF EDINA 4 In total, 86 responses (nearly 2/3) were supportive of lowering local speed limits in Edina to some degree. In addition to expressed support or opposition to the proposed speed limits, members of the public also used this tool to ask questions, share general observations and offer other suggestions. Table 1 provides a high-level summary of the most frequent comments or questions submitted through the Feedback Form along with staff’s response.

For most streets, additional enforcement efforts will not be necessary as data indicates drivers are traveling at or below the posted 30-mph limit. Engineering staff will discuss potential enforcement strategies with Edina Police Department. Specific streets or entire residential neighborhoods should have even lower speed restrictions (20 mph) More restrictive speed limits in certain areas would result in additional signage costs and could lead to driver confusion. Staff only recommends more restrictive speed limits in school zones or where the geometry of the street requires an advisory speed limit as recommended by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. How much will it cost for new speed limit signage City-wide? Engineering staff will evaluate the estimated cost of new signage based on the approach approved by City Council. The City should implement speed bumps on streets to address speed concerns. It is not standard practice to install permanent speed bumps on public roadways. While various studies have shown that can provide speed reduction in their immediate vicinity, they are a significant hindrance to snow plowing operations. 51.9% 13.7% 23.7% 10.7% Figure 1: Feedback Form Results Supportive of current recommendation Supportive of 20-mph speed limits Unsupportive of current recommendation Other ENGAGEMENT REPORT I LOCAL SPEED LIMIT EVALUATION I CITY OF EDINA 5 Request for stop signs to lower vehicle speeds in residential areas. Stops signs are used to assign right-of-way to vehicles at an intersection, not to control speed or volume. There are industry standards for when stop signs should be installed based on traffic volumes and physical obstructions to sightlines. Unwarranted stop signs tend to have a high rate of non-compliance. To make specific requests for stop signs, residents are encouraged to submit a Traffic Safety Request through the City’s website or the Edina 311 mobile application. The City should install more pedestrian-activated flashers at school crossings. The City’s Pedestrian Crossing Policy provides guidance on when treatments like activated flashers are warranted based on traffic volumes and roadway characteristics. To make specific requests for crossing treatments, residents are encouraged to submit a Traffic Safety Request through the City’s website or the Edina 311 mobile application. The City should reduce four-lane streets down to two-lane and provide additional facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. Commonly referred to as a ‘road diet’, this type of lane configuration change would only be warranted where two lanes can accommodate the traffic volumes. The City will continue to look for streets that fit this criterion and identify future implementation projects. The complete Feedback Form submissions are attached in Appendix D. MAP The Map tool allowed members of the public to comment on recommended speed limits for specific streets via an interactive map. To comment, users could place a pin on a specific street to indicate their preferred speed limit (20, 25, 30 or 35 mph). 36 submissions were received through this tool, with roughly half (17) placed on local streets and half (19) placed on Municipal State Aid or collector streets. Staff reviewed each pin and categorized each based on the roadway classification and how the suggested speed limit compared to the recommended speed limit (higher, equal or lower). Figure 2 shows the distribution of Map responses received. ENGAGEMENT REPORT I LOCAL SPEED LIMIT EVALUATION I CITY OF EDINA 6 6 submissions (16.7%) were supportive of specific recommended speed limits, 19 (52.8%) suggested higher speed limits and 11 (30.5%) suggested lower speed limits. Looking specifically at the pins placed on MSA streets, an overwhelming majority (84.2%) suggested higher speed limits. Most comments suggested 30 mph on MSA streets, noting that these are main travel corridors and should be given higher speed limits than local streets to deter non- local traffic in residential neighborhoods. Of the pins placed on local streets, a significant majority (58.8%) suggested lower speed limits. Most comments suggested 20 mph on local streets, noting that many experience non-local traffic and are devoid of separated pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure. The complete Map submissions are attached in Appendix E. DIRECT CORRESPONDENCE Members of the public also provided feedback in the form of direct correspondence with staff and City Council. 19 items of direct correspondence were received. Of these, four were supportive of the recommendation, three were unsupportive, and six were specific observations and questions that did not appear to express an opinion on the recommendation. Additionally, six submissions expressed support for 20-mph speed limits to some degree. All received correspondence is included in Appendix F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Considering all the public input, staff recommends proceeding with implementation of uniform speed limits as originally presented. This approach is less expensive than a tiered approach and is a scalable way to quickly improve safety outcomes. Uniform citywide speed limits provide consistent expectations about speed, which are easier for drivers to follow. It is important to note that a comprehensive approach to successfully address speeding requires multiple strategies. Drivers are influenced by the geometric characteristics of a roadway as well as the posted speed limit. In addition to these recommended speed limits, staff recommends continuing to implement the Living Streets Plan and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan with pavement management projects when feasible. This includes implementing minimum roadway width design standards and reallocation of right-of-way for pedestrian and 19 16 3 6 2 4 11 1 10 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 Total MSA LocalResponses Received Figure 2: Map Results Higher Equal Lower ENGAGEMENT REPORT I LOCAL SPEED LIMIT EVALUATION I CITY OF EDINA 7 bicycle infrastructure.

City staff, at the time, instead recommended that Council adopt a resolution supporting lowering the statutory urban residential speed limit from 30 to 25 mph. Council subsequently passed Resolution 2006-64, which stated that “the City of Edina does hereby strongly support a statewide lowering of the speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour on local, residential roadways.” Rationale provided in the resolution included: “Drivers traveling at high speeds are less aware of their surroundings and have less time to notice and react to pedestrians and bicyclists.” “Relatively small increases in vehicle speed can greatly increase the chances that a pedestrian will die in a vehicle-to-pedestrian crash.” “Experts on street design say that 20 to 25 miles per hour is the maximum safe speed for residential streets.” “The City of Edina supports ensuring speed limits maximize safety for all roadway users including drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists.” In 2008, Council adopted Resolution 2008-27, requesting State Representative Ron Erhardt sponsor legislation granting permission to form a Speed Limit Task Force to begin a state-wide study of the feasibility of 25 mph speed limits and that said study be completed before the start of the 2009 legislative session. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan also included the following policy statements: “Support state legislation to decrease statutory urban speed limits from 30 to 25 miles per hour.” “Complete speed zone studies and establish speed zones for Safe Routes to School.” In 2009, the City received Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funding for implementation of a city-wide school speed zone study. This study was prepared by WSB & Associates, Inc. and evaluated conditions near six elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school and three private schools in Edina. The purpose of the study was to “determine and implement school speed zones adjacent to each school” and to “provide safe conditions to encourage students to walk and bike to school.” Council subsequently adopted Resolution 2009-66, adopting the Edina Schools Speed Zone Study and authorizing implementation of the recommended signage plan. New signage was installed prior to the start of the 2009/2010 school year. In 2012, the Transportation Commission wrote an advisory communication to Council recommending that the City revise its speed limit policy to be more consistent with current state legislation and “accurately communicate the authority the City has to reduce speed limits.” The Commission noted that the City had previously lowered speed limits on some local streets with bike lanes to 25 miles per hour and had established reduced speeds in school zones as permitted by state statute. Between 2013 and 2015, the City developed and adopted the Living Streets Policy and Plan. 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. Living Streets principles that guide the City’s approach to speed limits include: “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.” “Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while enhancing safety and convenience for all users.” “Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public.” These principles are further echoed in the draft 2018 Comprehensive Plan, which notes that today’s primary transportation planning focus includes increasing safety and ensuring that the transportation needs of all users will be considered and all modes will be appropriately accommodated. Between 2011 and 2019, the City’s biennial Quality of Life survey asked residents to assess traffic concerns in their neighborhoods. About 40% of residents have consistently expressed that speeding is a moderate-to-extreme problem in their neighborhood. In May 2019, the Minnesota Legislature passed and Governor Tim Walz signed legislation granting cities the authority to set speed limits on streets they control: “A city may establish speed limits for city streets under the city’s jurisdiction other than the limits provided in subdivision 2 without conducting an engineering and traffic investigation. This subdivision does not apply to town roads, county highways, or trunk highways in the city. A city that establishes speed limits pursuant to this section must implement speed limit changes in a consistent and understandable manner. The city must erect appropriate signs to display the speed limit. A city that uses the authority under this subdivision must develop procedures to set speed limits based on the city’s safety, engineering, and traffic analysis. At a minimum, the safety, engineering, and traffic analysis must consider national urban speed limit guidance and studies, local traffic crashes, and methods to effectively communicate the change to the public.” - Minnesota Statues, Section 169.14, Subd. 5h National Research and Guidance National Transportation Safety Board In 2017, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) published “Reducing Speeding-Related Crashes Involving Passenger Vehicles,” a safety study examining causes, trends and countermeasures to prevent these types of crashes. The findings of this study include: “Speed increases the likelihood of serious and fatal crash involvement, although the exact relationship is complex due to many factors.” “Speed increases the injury severity of a crash.” The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidance for setting speed limits in speed zones is based on the 85th percentile speed, but there is not strong evidence that, within a given traffic flow, the 85th-percentile speed equates to the speed with the lowest crash involvement rate on all road types.” “Unintended consequences of the reliance on using the 85th-percentile speed for changing speed limits in speed zones include higher operating speeds and new higher, 85th-percentile speeds in the speed zones, and an increase in operating speeds outside the speed zones.” “The safe system approach to setting speed limits in urban areas is an improvement over conventional approaches because it considers the vulnerability of all road users.” Among the recommendations of this report is for a revision to the MUTCD to “incorporate the safe system approach for urban roads to strengthen protection for vulnerable road users.” National Association of City Transportation Officials The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) identifies two different approaches for setting urban speed limits. Citywide Under this approach, a city designates a speed limit that applies to all roadways within their jurisdiction. NACTO recommends a 25-mph speed limit for this strategy. “Setting or lowering default citywide speed limits is an inexpensive, scalable way to quickly improve safety outcomes, and establish a basis for larger safety gains. Default citywide limits also provide consistent expectations and messages about speed across the jurisdiction, which is easy for drivers to follow.” Category of Street Under this approach, a city develops a tiered system of speed limits. NACTO recommends the following tiered system: 25 mph on Major streets. “Major streets feature a combination of high motor vehicle traffic volume, signalization of major intersection, and an inherently multimodal street environment.” 20 mph on Minor streets. “Minor streets include physically small streets where low speeds are often already present, as well as low-vehicle-volume streets with few or no transit stops.” 10 mph on alleys and shared streets “Citywide speed limits are generally easier to implement and may be easier for driver to follow. However, in cities where there is clear differentiation between major arterial streets and local or minor streets, setting speed limits based on category of street can sometimes allow cities to lower speed limits on a large number of streets below what would be allowable citywide (i.e. 20 mph on minor streets vs. 25 mph citywide). If cities have the authority to set default speed limits, they should decide whether to implement citywide limits or category limits based on what makes sense given the local conditions.” Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), defines the standards used to install and maintain traffic control devices on public transportation systems. The current MUTCD includes the following standards and guidance related to speed limits: “Speed zones (other than statutory speed limits) shall only be established on the basis of an engineering study that has been performed in accordance with traffic engineering practices. The engineering study shall include an analysis of the current speed distribution of free-flowing vehicles.” “The Speed Limit sign…shall display the limit established by law, ordinance, regulation or as adopted by the authorized agency based on the engineering study. The speed limits displayed shall be in multiples of 5 mph.” “State and local agencies should conduct engineering studies to reevaluate non-statutory speed limits on segments of their roadways that have undergone significant changes since the last review, such as the addition or elimination of parking or driveways, changes in traffic control signal coordination, or significant changes in traffic volumes.” “When a speed limit within a speed zone is poster, it should be within 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic.” “Other factors that may be considered when establishing or reevaluating speed limits are the following: A. Road characteristics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, and sight distance; B. The pace; C. Roadside development and environment; D. Parking practices and pedestrian activity; and E. Reported crash experience for at least a 12-month period” The National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTD) recently recommended changes to the current MUTCD guidance related to speed limits to the FHWA. These recommendations included: Removing the standard that “the engineering study shall include an analysis of the current speed distribution of free-flowing vehicles.” Upgrading and revising the considerations for establishing speed zones to read “Factors that should be considered when establishing or reevaluating speed limits within speed zones are the following: A. Speed distribution of free-flowing vehicles (such as current 85th percentile, the pace, and review of past speed studies) B. Reported crash experience for at least a 12-month period relative to similar roadways C. Road characteristics (such as lane widths, curb/shoulder condition, grade, alignment, median type, and sight distance) D. Road context (such as roadside development and environment including number of driveways and land use, functional classification, parking practices, presence of sidewalks/bicycle facilities) E. Road users (such as pedestrian activity, bicycle activity). Revising the guidance statement regarding the posted speed limit being made within 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed to apply only “on freeways, expressways, or rural highways.” The FHWA will consider whether to incorporate these recommendations into the next edition of the MUTCD. MnDOT utilizes a slightly different version referred to as the MN MUTCD. Both documents are identical in language related to speed limits. If the MUTCD is updated, it is anticipated that the MN MUTCD will be updated accordingly. Safety Implications Vehicle stopping distance is an important factor in the likelihood of a crash. Figure 1 shows the correlation between vehicle speed and average stopping distance as calculated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). For example, a reduction from 30 to 20 mph results in an additional 85 feet (or about 5 car lengths) of stopping distance. Figure 1. Average Stopping Distance vs. Speed (AASHTO) Exact stopping distance calculations vary depending on specific reaction times and braking speed, but when controlling for those variables, higher speeds always result in longer stopping distances. 80 112 151 197 247 301 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 15 20 25 30 35 40 Average Stopping Distance, feetVehicle Speed, mph Speed also impacts the severity of injury resulting from crashes, particularly for pedestrians and cyclists. Figure 2 compares vehicle speeds to the likelihood of severe injury or death to a pedestrian in an accident. This data is taken from the US Department of Transportation, though multiple other agencies have conducted comparable studies with similar results. Figure 2. Pedestrian Injury Risk vs. Speed It’s also important to note that other factors contribute to the level of risk, including the age of the pedestrian. Speed Limit Changes by Other Cities New York City, NY The statutory urban speed limit in the State of New York is 30 mph. In 2014, New York City lowered the majority of local speed limits from 30 to 25 mph. Some quieter residential areas, or “slow zones” were kept at 20 mph and some larger streets have speed limits higher than 25 mph. Seattle, WA The statutory urban speed limit in the State of Washington is 25 mph. in 2016, Seattle adopted a tiered system for local speed limits; 25 mph for arterial streets and 20 mph for residential streets unless otherwise signed. In addition, Seattle has been lowering speed limits on busier streets in recent years, piloting the use of the 50th percentile speed rather than the 85th to set speed limits. Following implementation of these changes on downtown streets, Seattle experienced a 13% reduction in total crashes and a 20% reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes. Portland, OR The statutory urban speed limit in the State of Oregon is 25 mph. Portland has also implemented a tiered system for local speed limits between 2016 and 2018; 15-25 mph for residential districts, 20 mph for school zones, 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 20 30 40 Likelihood of Severe Injury or Death, %Vehicle Speed, mph business districts and arterial streets and 15 mph for alleys. Changes made to local speed limits require approval from the Oregon Department of Transportation. Boston, MA The statutory urban speed limit in the State of Massachusetts is 25 mph. In 2017, Boston lowered speed limits citywide from 30 to 25 mph. A study conducted in 2018 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety concluded that “lowering the speed limit in urban areas is an effective countermeasure to reduce speeds and improve safety for all road users.” Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN This year, the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul implemented tiered systems for local speed limits; 25 mph for major streets (mixed-use, commercial and downtown streets) and 20 mph for minor streets (industrial and residential streets). Both cities intend for these changes to make streets safer for all users and to support their Vision Zero goal of zero traffic deaths or severe injuries. St. Louis Park, MN The City of St. Louis Park is considering implementing a tied system for local speed limits similar to that of neighboring Minneapolis with a default speed limit of 20 mph. Local Traffic/Crash Analysis Staff reviewed local traffic data collected between 2016 and 2019. This data was reviewed based on the roadway classifications identified in the Living Streets Plan; Minor Arterial, Collector, Local Connector or Local road (see Table 1). Roadway Classification Average Daily Traffic, vpd Data Points 85th Percentile Speed Range, mph Average 85th Percentile Speed, mph Minor Arterial 4,500 – 15,000 5 36.5 – 41.9 39.5 Collector 1,200 – 10,300 56 21.6 – 39.0 32.7 Local Connector 250 – 3,000 46 23.5 – 35.2 30.0 Local 30 – 1,200 64 17.9 - 32.5 25.4 Table 1: Local Traffic Analysis, 2016-2019 Relevant findings from this analysis include: 1. 85th percentile speeds tend to decrease as roadway classification and traffic volumes decrease. 2. The majority of drivers on Local and Local Connector roads obey the posted speed limit (most of these roads are currently 30 mph). 3. Wider roads (Minor Arterials and Collectors) tend to have higher speeds than narrower roads (Local Connectors and Locals). 4. Highway frontage roads tend to have the highest recorded speeds (8 of the 10 highest observed 85th percentile speeds were on frontage roads adjacent to Highways 100, 169 and 494. Crash data from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety was used to review local traffic accidents. This analysis included reported accidents on County, Municipal State Aid and local roads in Edina over a 5-year period between 2015 and 2019. Relevant findings from this analysis include: 1. Accidents were generally concentrated at intersections and along high-volume roads. 2. More than 50% of accidents on Municipal State Aid or local roads occurred at intersections. 3. Nearly all (96%) of accidents on Municipal State Aid or local roads occurred under a posted speed limit of 30 mph. 4. Only one fatal crash was reported over this time period; a pedestrian was struck and killed on France Avenue in 2016. 5. Proportionately, the severity of accidents was similar regardless of roadway type, with the majority resulting merely in property damage (see Table 2). Crash Severity Local Roads Municipal State Aid Roads County Roads Property Damage 70.9% 67.9% 67.4% Possible Injury 17.3% 16.9% 16.7% Minor Injury 9.8% 13.6% 13.4% Serious Injury 1.7% 1.4% 1.8% Fatality - - 0.2% Unknown 0.3% 0.2% 0.5% Table 2. Local Crash Analysis, 2015-2019 6. Most accidents had no clear contributing action reported. Regardless of roadway type, distracted driving, failing to yield the right-of-way, and running red lights were generally reported more frequently than speeding. 7. Accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists were relatively rare (less than 10%) and generally occurred along County or Municipal State Aid roads. The greatest concentration of these is in the southeast quadrant of Edina, primarily along France Avenue and York Avenue. 8. Accidents involving a pedestrian or cyclist were more than three times as likely to result in a minor or serious injury compared to overall crashes.

I would require that anyone on the council actually try driving within Edina at the proposed 20 mph limit. I’m not sure this proposal addresses the actual problem. If speed limits aren’t enforced on city streets, what does it matter if the posted speed limit is 25 or 30? I would like to know how you are going to police this change? I don't see much of ANY police presence on our residential streets. What difference does the speed limit matter if no one is there enforcing it? Seems like it will be money wasted on new speed limit signs that will still be ignored my most people driving down the residential streets with zero enforcement. SPeed limit of 30 mph is fine. I see no need to change it. I am not in favor of changing almost every street in Edina to a 25 mile an hour limit. People always think everyone drives too fast no matter where you are, and on main thoroughfares it's ridiculous to have them that slow. No, no, no!!! The City of Edina should have 30+ mph speed limits on all streets that are not directly adjacent to schools. We are a town of people on the go, doing things and making things happen. We need to get to where we are going in a reasonable amount of time, otherwise people speed. Speeding tickets are a way for this "progressive" city to raise revenue. It is wrong to fine people for driving at a reasonable speed, which is 30 mph in the city. The City is hell-bent on packing people into this city via high rises, urbanizing our collective environment and generating more tax revenue for the City to feed off of. The City needs to get real with the associated costs of volumes of people - these people travel the streets in their cars and need to get to where they are going in an efficient manner. Lowering the speed limits across the city just raises the blood pressure of travellers and causes road rage. Children need to be taught to stay out of the streets and bikers need to obey traffic laws - all of which will reduce the chance of a hazardous encounter between cars and non-cars on the roadways, if that is your stated goal. The burden of safety needs to be shared between car drivers and non-car drivers, and not weighed more heavily toward car drivers. 30 mph on city streets is a standard speed limit across the United States. It is a reasonable city speed limit and should remain for the City of Edina!!! I propose NO speed limit changes to reduce car travel speeds in the City of Edina. I favor retaining current limits. Different limits cause confusion for drivers and require thousands of ugly signs No changes are necessary... It is extremely hard to keep your car, truck, school busses at such a low speed, especially if you are trying to go up a hill, going down hill all you do is ride your brakes. I am more concerned with bikers the don’t follow biking rules. They are more a problem. Too many streets at 25mph This should be for neighborhoods only not connectors. Would love for more residential streets to be 25 mph instead of 30 I very much welcome a change of speed limit- Especially on West Shore Dr. There are many speeders on this road with NO SIDEWALKS. I am concerned to have my 3 children walk or ride bike on our road. I hope this passes. I would also like to petition for consideration of a stop sign at West Shore Dr and Dunham Dr. My husband's parked car was hit on West Shore Dr with such force that it was totaled. If there was a stop sign I believe this hopefully wouldn't have happened. I also worry about the hidden sidewalk that comes out from Aspasia Lane onto West Shore Dr. There have been too many close calls with kids on bikes and cars driving too fast down West Shore Dr. Thank you for your time and consideration. I support the lower local speed limits proposal as presented in the interactive map. I'm good with 25 mph on largely residential areas, but I think there are a few exceptions where 25 is a bit excessive. For example: 25mph on Cahill between 70th and 78th. I think thru streets at 25 mph unnecessarily slow. On 70th between France and 100 I frequently get tailgated for driving the speed limit. Hello My Name is Joe Burke and we are long time residents. I appreciate slower speed limits in our neighborhood and have previously, and unsuccessfully brought this up before o I am glad it is resurfacing. I also think that in addition to slower speeds, the city should add two 4 way stops on Mirror Lakes Drive. One at Ayrshire and 1 at Northwoods. There are a ton of young kids in this neighborhood so let's keep speeds down. Thank you, Joe Go for it!!!! Yes! Lower the speed limit. But before you bother with that, enforce the law that tells people to stop at stop signs. So many people run stop signs and never get a ticket. I live just off 78th Street. I walk along 78th Street often and I bike in the area as well. I'm trying to understand why the speed limit is proposed to be 30 instead of 35. If we are unable to reduce the speed limit on 50th Street, we should at least consider reducing the lanes down to one lane going in each direction, with adequate accommodations for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. I am 100% in favor of lowering the speed limit to 25 MPH. We have a lot of walkers and children in our neighborhood and cars drive too fast on Chantrey as they are cutting thru from Vernon Ave. to Interlachen Blvd. My family lives in a residential area and we routinely see drivers speeding down the roads in our neighborhood. In particular, I have witnessed and have read many Nextdoor reports of young people trying to “lay rubber” on our roads and speeding. I am surprised that, as far as I’m aware, there has not yet been a serious accident. Families and children are routinely walking and biking our neighborhood. I have myself experimented with driving at 30 and at 25 here, and as a result, chosen to stick with a 25 mph limit. At that speed, I can more clearly see what’s going on around and ahead of me and have been grateful to have avoided more than one potential accident. I fully support and endorse the city’s plan to change our speed limits as laid out in the plan, and thank you for finally getting to this overdue change. I live at 5829 Creek Valley Road. Our street in a hill. While driving 25mph at the top of the hill may be ok, people speed up with the momentum of the hill and by the time they reach my house at the curve 25mph is way to fast to safely make the turn. I would suggest 20mph. We are also considering speed bumps. We appreciate Chad’s prior efforts. I do not think the overturned past proposal would have helped the speed issue on our once quiet and now busy (because of field drop offs) street. I live on Barrie Road, a curving street with heavy traffic, no continuous sidewalks and cars in many places parked on both sides of the street. I often see seniors using walkers and single parents with two children or a stroller walking in the street. At night, the lighting is inadequate and I often are surprised to see a pedestrian in the street right after I turn onto Barrie off of 66th. With higher speeds, more auto and pedestrian accidents happen with more severe injuries and property damage. If the lower limit saves the life of one child, and it will, it is justified. Additionally, when the city streets are covered on snow, drivers should be encouraged or required to drive no faster than 20 mph. Additionally, a limit of 20 mph should be placed on any streets where construction eliminate traffic lanes, or blocked sidewalks force people to walk in the street. In this situation, the city should install temporary speed limit signs in the construction zone. Frankly, I have often seen no warning of construction zones, and just as on highway in construction, speed limits should be lowered. Of course, for city streets with traffic lights the timing needs to be adjusted for new speed limits. For example if one drives the speed limit on France, you can literally be stopped at every light, a very frustrating thing. Once any new law is in place, it make sense to have the police out, but also put up additional lights that tell you your speed. In a two way single lane road, one person driving the limit can effectively calm traffic. Those who currently exceed a higher speed limit are really not going to like this. In terms of education, it is important to communicate how little time is added to trips within Edina with a speed limit reduction of only 5 miles per hour. Yes lower the speed limits to 25 mph I do nor feel that the speed limits should be lowered, NOR do I feel that the City will have enough resources to properly enforce these limits. I live on west shore drive and people regularly drive over 40 mph down the street. On a speed study a few years ago one driver was found driving over 60 mph! Earlier this summer I watched an adult biker nearly get hit by a car in our road as the driver refused to slow down and veered around a child and then almost hit the adult. Children are always playing and biking in our neighborhood and they need to be safe. I definitely support lower speed limits on roads Edina has control over. The more the better. I'm not in favor, and encourage against the change. I think a lower speed limit would be great. And more PSA about road safety,making full stops, & pedestrian in crosswalks, etc. We frequently are almost run over in crosswalks or walking across street at corners, because a car may stop for us,but they then rush through before our 5 year old & us are at other side. I've been clipped a few times & our child almost run over because she stopped to pick up her mitten in middle of road. Drivers in Edina are entitled, rude & violate laws majority of the time. We feel safer living in London or Madrid. Also, in overseas the speed limit is only 15MPH in city & residential zones. So, yes please reduce the speed limit & enforce it. Thank you! I strongly support the speed limit proposal throughout the City. The pandemic has brought many more people out walking, including elderly people and families with children. This is a great thing and I hope it continues! Large areas of Edina still have no sidewalks. Reducing the speed limit will make Edina a safer, healthier city. When residents complain about speeding are they concerned about speeds in excess of 30 MPH or do they think people traveling at the posted speed limits are going too fast? If it's the former, it seems like the solution is enforcement. If the latter, then perhaps lowering the limits is the right intervention. It's an excellent idea to lower the speed limits; however, enforcement will be a challenge. So many drivers disregard the existing limits anyway. 70th street is currently 25MPH from 100 to France, with a school zone. It is brutal driving on a main street at 25MPH. Cahill Road and Dewey Hill Road are generally a 40MPH effective speed today. I understand overall safety, but what problem is Edina trying to solve? Main streets don't have children playing in them today, and truly residential streets don't have that much traffic. Are there any statistics for how many people are hit today because of a 30MPH speed limit? The only time I get tailgated and honked at on 70th are by residents. The same people that petitioned to make it a 25MPH street. Have you considered any impact on miles-per-gallon? It seems to me when I am driving in stop and go and slower situations, my car gets worse mpg than when I am at 30 mph. If this is true, it could have an impact on air quality/climate change issues. But I have no idea what the science says about it. I am very happy the city is planning to make this change. How will it be enforced? I am totally against lowering speed limits on Edina's city streets. First you cut the number of lanes on important streets and now you want to lower the speeds. NO! It is getting harder and harder to navigate Edina by car with all the new traffic due to the wave of new hi-density apartment buildings. Why don't you start enforcing the existing traffic laws on bicyclists who glide right through stop signs and routinely take other serious risks on streets? And what about traffic noise? The crowd that likes to let everyone know of their presence with those special non-mufflers, and the motorcyclists that ignore noise ordinances need to be reminded that people live within 30-50 ft. of city streets. Hwy. 100 sounds like the Indianapolis Speedway with all of the noise violations. NO to lowering the speed limits. Focus on facilitating the movement of traffic through the city, not causing congestion. Very happy with the proposed reductions in speed limits. We live on Wooddale and would love to see the limit reduced to 25 mph. I am strongly in favor of the new proposal to decrease local speed limits!! Thank you for considering this serious concern, and for asking for input. In reviewing the speed limits, they are quite reasonable. Unfortunately, people drive much faster. To achieve the end result of slower driving please consider speed bumps, stop signs, whatever the experts recommend as ways to increase effectiveness of speed limits. Please address the problems in Brookview Heights Please do something about compliance in ENTIRE neighborhood. There are SO many speeders and SO many little kids running around the entire neighborhood, honest to goodness, we daily witness the horrifying posssibilities. Abercrombie/Ridgeview from 66th to 70th is an especially treacherous stretch of road. Several speed bumps? Stop signs? Stop signs are needed at Tifton/Rabun, blind intersection /hill, and another at the intersection of Tifton/Everett, where it is difficult to see who is coming and people are flying through without even looking. THANK YOU! Rita Younger I am behind the proposal as presented & would like 25 mph designation. Today 30mph seems to mean 35-40 for many. Maybe 25 mph will bring some reality to 30 mph! Safety and quality of life are important to me as an Edina resident. Thanks! I agree with the proposed local speed limits. If drivers would adhere to 30 mph and USE CAUTION, I would be happy with 30 mph. However there are too many drivers who speed on city streets. I like to walk and bike. In order to get to a sidewalk or bike trail I have to use the city streets. I endorse the proposed speed limits! My wife and I both think this is a great idea. I use a wheelchair and she uses a walker. Anything the city can do to get cars to slow down and make it safer for us pedestrians is a welcome thing. reduced speed limit in residential neighborhoods is long overdue. Are bicyclists considered pedestrianism Edina? How many of the 50% increase in pedestrian deaths are bicyclists? Please change all "side streets' to 20 mph. "20 is plenty" should be our watchword. I walk my dogs alot in our Countryside neighborhood, and on those streets without sidewalks, it can be unnerving to have cars zoom past us. The wind shear from speeding cars pushes our 6 month old golden retriever into my legs when we are walking on Olinger Blvd to get into Bredesen Park from Jeff Place. Maybe people think Olinger Blvd is 40 mph like Vernon Ave? I think lowered speed limits and then enforcing those speed limits makes for a safer community for our children and pedestrians. Will speed bumps be used? I know other traffic calming measures such as narrow streets have been used as well. Busier through streets should still be 30mph but residential streets I support being lower. I wholeheartedly agree with these proposed changes. I live on Wooddale Avenue. I am very concerned with the high speeds drivers are operating on my street and surrounding neighborhood streets. I have never understood why the limit on Wooddale South of 70th is 30 MPH and 25 MPH on 70! Due to walking/busing limits set by the district, my kids do not receive a bus and walk to school. They have to cross/walk on Wooddale where people drive way too fast in my opinion. There are many kids in our neighborhood in this situation. No sidewalk and fast cars! I’m very happy to see a decrease in speed limits, however would like to 20 mph on all residential streets. We walk dogs daily and observe many people surpass the speed limits regularly. Lowering them may help getting closer to a required speed.....also for those of us whose streets have no sidewalks and are required to walk in the street, a lower speed would protect us better. Yes!! Please please lower the speed limits for the sake of our kids! People drive much too fast on residential streets and unlike Minneapolis, much of Edina does not have sidewalks. People are regularly walking in the street. I think some neighborhoods need a 25 miles per hour, but some main streets should stay 30 or 40. The issue is a few chronic violators in the neighborhoods... maybe the police can act on calls complaints about a specific person?? By not taking a more nuanced approach to lowering speed limits to 20 in residential areas and 25 on streets with lane markings, the city is giving up one of its most useful tools in controlling traffic flow. The city needs to take an approach that limits speeds to 20 mph on residential roads and makes use of some 25mph roads to direct traffic. For example, the city needs to use every tool they have to direct traffic down streets like 44th which are wider and have houses set back from the road and away from streets like Sunnyside which have numerous crosswalks. Even at 25 mph, it is simply not possible for cars to observe and safely stop for pedestrians. At the Town Talks meeting, 2 reasons were given for not following the tiered approach of Minneapolis. (1) The Edina police might get confused about what the speed limit is and be unable to enforce it. This logic is an insult to the Edina police! (2) The second reason given was cost savings. This reason is also unfounded, Every road does not need a speed limit. Follow the standards set by nearly every city and set a default speed of 20 unless posted and then post signs only on streets that have higher speed limits. Furthermore, the reduction in road maintenance from the 20 (compared to 25mph) would be sufficient to cover the slight cost increase of signs if there are any. Finally, some residents might complain that lowering speed limits to 20 mph might increase traffic or slow commutes. This is also unfounded. Many traffic jams are caused by the "traffic wave" due to cars slowing and accelerating. By lowering speed limits, cars drivers can more easily adjust to disturbances without jamming on their breaks propagating the slow down behind them. Furthermore, even if commutes are slowed slightly, drivers spend only a few minutes on residential roads, so by adopting a tiered approach, the impact can be minimized. Thank you for taking the time to read my comments, M. Barach The residential streets should have a maximum speed limit of 20 mph. Traffic usually tests the speed limit so in actuality drivers tend to drive 5 mph over the speed limit. Minneapolis instituted a 20 mph speed limit several months ago and their residents love this. I also request that traffic laws are enforced and tickets be given for drivers who roll through stop signs. Please! and thanks. Yes, all city streets should be reduced as proposed, signed with speed limits and enforced. All on-street bike routes should be clearly marked with bike symbols in pavement, such as 44th & properly maintained as such. I am in favor of lowering the speed limit. Do not lower the limit on streets to 25. This is confusing and contradictory to other cities. I support 25, but why not 20? I live on Valley View between 62/100 and it is currently 30 and we have people going 40+ regularly. If we set at 20, 40 becomes 30. The EPD would rather patrol 100 for speeders than the city streets. Please leave speed limit at 30mph. Add button activated flashing lights at school crossings. I really like the idea of lowering the speed limit on neighborhood streets. We get a fair amount of traffic through the Country Club neighborhood and with so many kids and adults out walking and biking, I think the lower speeds would be helpful. There is also a lot of foot, bike and car traffic around 50th & France, so to lower the speed there also makes a lot of sense to me. It is a great idea to lower speed limits in Edina. I have small children and am always fearful of how fast people race on Blake rd s, between Vernon and Interlachen. Any speed decrease would be greatly appreciated and supported. We agree with the newly proposed speed limits, which favor 25mph instead of 30mph There are already lower speed limits by schools where it matters. I’m a biker so I do want to be safe biking, but lowering the speed limits makes no sense especially since police shouldn’t waste their time enforcing that when there are more critical issues. It is also a waste of money to our up new signs when it could be spent on other more critical needs. So, please do not change the speed limits. I think in general the 25 mph speed limits on most streets are a great idea. On Interlachen specifically I think 30 mph is appropriate, but it should be enforced. People routinely fly down it way over the speed limit, blowing through marked crosswalks carelessly when I’m waiting to cross. I’m not sure what will solve that problem, but it definitely is scary to think of kids crossing alone given people’s driving behavior. I support a reduced speed limit on residential streets Based on a comparison between the current and proposed speed limits, it appears that the change would be largely an across-the-board reduction in the speed limits to 25 mph with few exceptions around schools and a small number of other streets. This change is inconsistent with the stated goals to balance local and regional traffic and based on traffic volume. I support greater differentiation in speed limits between neighborhood streets that primarily serve just residents along that street vs. the arteries feeding into and out of neighborhoods. For instance, I think that it would make sense to have slightly higher speed limit on 'through' streets like 70th, 66th, Woodale, Willson, Dewey Hill, Blake, etc. compared to the lower-traffic side streets in these neighborhoods. This will help maintain better traffic flow on already busy streets while helping to discourage cut-through traffic into neighborhoods. I would advocate, for instance, for more neighborhood streets to have a 20 mph speed limits while the through streets maintain higher speed limits of 25 mph or 30 mph. I also feel that a discussion about speed limits should also include discussion about opportunities to promote adherence with the speed limits through either increased enforcement of speed limits or passive calming measures like speed humps at the entrances to neighborhood streets. Most changes are 5 mph decrease, seems we would spend more money to change road signs then it would make a difference What would be the cost to change all the signs to reduce the speed by 5mph? I do understand that Edina uses speeding fines as a major income stream and am wondering if this is the real motivation. I do not believe this would cut down on accidents. I live on Golf Terrace. The street is wide enough that people fly down it! This is especially during the morning and evening commute and before and after high school. I year or so ago, I believe you did a traffic study with the sensor that lays on the road. Interestingly-people slowed down to go over that sensor! I very much think speed limits decreasing to 25 would be an improvement. I would suggest that a speed bump or additional stop sign on Golf Terrace would be an improvement. Of course, speed enforcement would be awesome! We have so many young children on the street, I feel it is only a matter of time until something sad and bad happens. I appreciate the recommendation to lower speed limits on most Edina streets to 25 MPH. I would like to see the city follow the lead of some other cities like St Paul and Minneapolis in reducing the speed limits on residential roads to 20 MPH. The proposed 5 MPH reduction (from 30 to 25) seems too small to actually affect driver behavior to slow drivers, whereas a 10 MPH reduction (from 30 to 20) would send a clear signal to all drivers that the city is committed to improving safety on our streets. 20 MPH should be plenty fast when driving on most of our residential streets, with a higher (25 or 30 MPH) limit on some of the larger through roads. It is quite appropriate to reduce the standard speed limit to 25mph. Many neighborhood streets should be even lower, in my opinion. It looks like both of our neighboring cities, Minneapolis and St. Louis Park will be implementing 20 mph speed limits on residential streets. I feel Edina should match these speed limits and make 20 mph the speed limit on residential streets. Making a change from 30 to 25 mph won't affect our quality of life and safety for the increased amount of walkers and bikers we have. Please consider 20 mph on residential streets. Thank you, Scott Busyn 4615 Wooddale Avenue Reducing speed limits on Edina streets would create a safer environment for residents of all ages to get around outdoors. The difference in pedestrian and personal safety between 30-35 miles/hr and 20-25 miles/hr is significant. I would strongly support making this change wherever possible in the city. Interlachen Blvd. should also be lowered to 25. I agree the speed limits on residential streets like Gilford Dr should decrease. A neighbor’s dog was just hit by a car yesterday evening. Alarming, and fortunate that it wasn’t a child. We have many young kids in the neighborhood. Generally fast traffic through my neighborhood, south cornelia 70th St. Is our north property boundary. About 15 years ago, 70th was redeveloped with the purpose of slowing down traffic and maintaining a neighborhood feel. Many fine improvements were made including lowering the speed to 25 MPH. Hardly anyone drives 25. Cars accelerate coming off the traffic circle to our east and the east bound traffic races towards France Avenue. Other than setting up regular police patrols, I am not sure what can be done as rarely is the 25 MPH limit honored. Thanks for listening. Mark Mitchell. 7001 Heatherton Trail The current speed limit is fine with me. Changing the limit still requires the same enforcement as the current one. I would like to see more enforcement of the hands-free law which many are not obeying. And and overhaul of the traffic control system which nearby cities have made, such as flashing yellow for left turns, and better sensors for signal changes when traffic is light. I can drive to Eden Prairie from highway 100 and W 70th Street faster than getting through Edina to Richfield. I am not at all in favor of changing existing speed limits. I am in favor of doing a better job of enforcing existing speed limits. I don't worry about cars traveling 30 mph on my streets. It's the cars going well over 30 mph that are a concern. In 30-plus years, I have NEVER seen speed enforcement on my street or any other streets in my neighborhood. Edina does speed enforcement on busy streets where they can make the most money. Lowering the current speed limit will not improve speeding in neighborhoods. Speeders will speed. Leave current speed limit alone. As a family of 2 adults, 2 children years 11 and 8, and a puppy, we fully support a speed limit of 25 mph on the side streets and generally reducing the speed limit on all Edina streets. We walk, run or bike every day in our Lake Cornelia neighborhood and there are no sidewalks here. We have had several close calls with drivers zipping past us going too fast. While lowering the speed limit provides greater safety for all (drivers & passengers, pedestrians and bicyclists), I doubt it will make much difference without enforcement. We have been asking for enforcement of the 30 mph speed limit on Olinger Blvd for many years with almost no action. On this residential street where young children live, rarely does anyone observe the limit. Not only do most cars drive closer to 40 mph, we have seen cars racing down the street and cars being passed when going the speed limit. Not only are the speeding cars a danger to the neighborhood children and the numerous pedestrians and bicyclists that use this street, but the cars trying to leave their driveways, especially those near where the street curves. I would like to know exactly how many accidents have occurred on these Edina City streets that may have been prevented with a slower speed limit. Also, how many speeding tickets have been issued? If it hasn't been a problem here, I don't think we need to spend tax money on making a change. No need to change the speed limit. 30 is slow enough and very safe. You can twist the data to meet whatever agenda your trying to accomplish. This does not make any sense cost-wise or safety-wise. Complete waste of time for the council to review. Thank you for requesting feedback from Edina residents regarding proposed speed limits. I am in favor of lowing neighborhood speed limits to 25 mph. For the ultimate safety, it is imperative that drivers slow down and be on the alert for pedestrians entering crosswalks. Too often I witness drivers barreling down our two-block street, exceeding the posted 30 mph by 5-10 mph. We have so many small children that dart out into the street while playing their games. It's terrifying to see cars, trucks and motorcyclists racing down the street -- with so many kids around. My preference would actually be to lower the speed limit to 20 mph. I like the signs that I have seen recently "20 is Plenty". It would be great if Edina lowered the speed limit to 20 mph in "high kid density" neighborhoods. I realize that would be difficult to identify neighborhoods with that distinctive characteristic --but it would be outstanding! I agree that the default speed limit should be 25 mph in Edina, except as noted om the map for other higher and lower speed limits. I think the proposed school zone speed limits should apply only on school days and during school hours and that the speed limit in school zones should be 25 mph at all other times. Here is an article from a bicycling magazine from England that sets out the reasons for lower speed limits in urban very well. Road speed reduction in Cambridge (England) From Newsletter 59 (April/May 2005) Speed kills. 90% of pedestrians hit by a vehicle at 40mph die, 20% at 30mph and only 2.5% at 20mph (figures from Which? Magazine, March 2005, p. 20). For cyclists hit by vehicles, the differential effect of vehicle speed is likely to be similarly significant. What do we know about speeding in the UK? In what follows, I draw on data assembled by Claire Corbett in chapter six of her impressive and scholarly book Car Crime (Willan, 2003). It is well established that speed is a main contributory factor in around a third of fatal road traffic crashes. In the year 2000 in England and Wales, around 1,100 avoidable deaths and more than 100,000 casualties resulted from exceeding limits and inappropriate speed. Government figures compiled from a wide range of sites show that on urban roads with a 40mph limit the average speed was 37mph with 25% of motorists exceeding 40mph. Where the speed limit was 30mph, the average speed was 32mph with 66% exceeding 30mph. 38% of buses exceeded the 30mph limit. Higher speeds are associated with both more serious collisions and with more frequent collisions. Reducing average speeds by just 1mph cuts average collision frequency by around 5%- more on slower, urban roads. There is nothing unexpected about the fact that speeding is dangerous. What is, for me, unexpected is that such small reductions in average speeds bring about such disproportionate benefits. https://www.camcycle.org.uk/newsletters/59/article8.html We are so happy to hear about the plan to lower the speed limits. Cars drive way to fast on our neighborhood streets that do not have sidewalks. It is especially important now, during the pandemic, to reduce the speed limit because so many people are out on walks and bike rides in the neighborhood. Drivers are going below 20 miles per hour when passing walkers. Being a senior who walks, I count on drivers taking extra caution since I am not always steady on my feet, and need more time to step up on a curb. When I must drive, I am super vigilant. Even before the pandemic, I drive 20 -25 mph on neighborhood streets. Lowering the speed limit is an excellent idea, making the streets safer for everyone. Thank you! Please leave the speed limits at 30. Two comments: How much will this change cost? I’m also concerned this is another attempt to increase city revenue through speeding tickets. Edina all ready leads the state in speeding tickets. Everyone I know says watch out driving in Edina, they will give you a ticket for Driving 3 mph over the limit Please review the speed on OLINGER BLVD. People fly down this road especially in am to school or work and again in the afternoon. Having current posted speeds ENFORCED would go a long way. If the City reduces the speed limit what does it matter if not enforced? Instead of speed traps up and down 100 and 62 use the City resources to enforce the local streets speeds. I live on Dakota Trail. We have over the years observed many cars speeding. It is a winding street without sidewalks. Both my husband and I are strongly in favor of lowering the city street speed limit. Wait for the technical report by LRRB. If you decide not to wait for LRRB, keep all collectors at 30. 25 should only be on local roads, not collectors. Enforce the existing limits. The problem isn’t the limit the problem is folks who don’t care. I favor the lower speed limits for the streets in the Parkwood Knolls neighborhood. Many of these streets do not have sidewalks (including in front of my home). With the increased emphasis on outdoor activity, walkers regularly encounter vehicle traffic moving at speeds that are of concern. I am in favor of reducing speed limits in Edina. More people are cutting through parts of the city (via streets like Vernon) and are going way faster than the marked speed limits. Additionally, cars travel through neighborhood streets so quickly that it can feel unsafe to walk—especially with children. I feel it is a problem that many of my neighbors need to put “slow down for children” or “drive as if your children live here” signs in their lawns. Our neighborhoods should feel safe and those signs should not be necessary. I live on Park Terrace in Parkwood Knolls. As like most of Edina, we have almost no sidewalks here while we also have a significant number of vehicles parked on the street. We also continue to have new and replacement home building, home remodeling and landscaping projects that often make walking in the streets difficult. I believe a 20 MPH speed limit will make the neighborhood both safer and more inviting for walkers and families with small children. I am in support of this proposal and am happy to see this action being taken to lower the residential street speed limits. I think changing the speed limit for local streets to 25 mph makes a lot of sense for safety reasons! As specified in the reasoning for speed limit changes: "the primary motivation is to improve safety for all road users. The difference between 30 and 25 miles per hour may not seem like much to a driver, but it can mean a lot to a pedestrian or cyclist" This reasoning, I am in total agreement. However, as I look at current and proposed speeds, there are issues that need to be considered. For instance, the "current speed" on Gleason Road north from VV road is shown as 20mph, there is a rare vehicle travelling at that speed on that portion of Gleason Road. North of 62, this speed changes to 30 mph currently. Again, it is a rare vehicle that limits its speed to 30mph, but, instead exceeds even 40mph in this area. Gleason Road, south of VV road to W78th street is actually ALREADY POSTED at 25mph. Obviously, this speed limit is considered to be just a suggestion and again, it is a rare driver that follows the speed limits. This area of Gleason Rd. has a long downhill portion, many curves and often, limited visibility. Many vehicles can be observed careening around the curves and unable to maintain control within their traffic lane. This is especially dangerous when affected by weather conditions. This area is highly used by pedestrians, runners and cyclists. The stop signs in this area are well known to be blown through without stopping, or with the well known "Edina tap and go" Another issue in Edina is that the speed limit signage is very limited, and unfortunately, unless noticed, the driver is not going to be reminded of the actual legal speed. For instance, the speed limit signage on Gleason Road appears maybe once for each section. And, as the trees mature, this signage is often obstructed. With limited availability of speed limit signage and limited enforcement, driver speed becomes arbitrary and a decision based on driver preference. Another area of issue is with the traffic circles which are posted prior to the entrance to the traffic circle, with no reminder at any other distance. The 15mph speed limit is so rarely observed, one wonders why the speed is posted at all. Again - without enforcement, lawlessness is encouraged. Unfortunately, habits are hard to break. Speed law enforcement will be necessary to change the current habits. I have often observed city trucks and police vehicles travelling in excess of posted speeds which are a bit of an invitation to Edina residents that speed limits don't really matter that much in Edina. This is unfortunate. I doubt that just changing speed signage will provide much change at all. I strongly feel the changing of speed limits is not going to make a difference in Edina unless the speed limits are actually enforced. I have been honked at on Gleason road by a driver who wanted to exceed the speed limit- and I have been passed in a no passing zone on Interlachen Blvd when driving the speed limit. The problem isn't with the speed posted on our streets, it is with the lawlessness that is rampant, not only in Edina, but throughout MN and the nation as a whole. I agree with lowering speed limits. Thank you for your efforts to lower residential speed limits in Edina. It is an important step to increase the safety of our streets. I would recommend that individual neighborhoods are allowed to apply for special consideration by the Traffic Commission. Not all residential streets in Edina have the same circumstances. Research has shown that neighbors tend to drive near the speed limit when driving in their own neighborhood. For neighborhoods with with mostly resident traffic, a 25 mph speed limit will likely be perfectly acceptable. For neighborhoods, like Country Club, where over 50% of the traffic is non-resident, then speeds are a challenge. The police chief has stated that they cannot fill the courts with traffic tickets less than 7 mph over the speed limit. This means that a 25 mph speed limit will not be enforced until over 32 mph. This means that not all city neighborhoods will benefit from the safety advantages of a 25 mph speed limit equally--mostly-resident-traffic neighborhoods will likely see adherence to 25 mph, and cut-through neighborhoods will continue to see speeds above 30 mph without any enforcement. It would be most appropriate if the Traffic Commission would consider specific neighborhood applications before the investment into signage across the community. On the subject of signage, it would be ideal if the smallest allowable signage was utilized. While it's important for drivers to be able to discern the speed limit. All this signage does congest the residential environment, especially in neighborhoods with traffic diverters that require a lot of signage. Thank you for your consideration. I support the lower limit. There is a lot of cut through and speeding in the Country Club I support lowering speed limits to 25 on neighborhood streets. I am strongly in favor. A few mph slower gives a longer reaction time for avoiding pedestrians, bikes, people backing out of driveways, etc. Speeding in our neighborhood is a problem especially because of street parking and minimal visibility to see children crossing the street or proceeding onto street from driveways or sidewalks. We have a big problem in the Country Club neighborhood of drivers from Linden Hills using our neighborhood to cut through to get to and from the 100 freeway. Many of them speed. We also have a problem with teenagers living in our neighborhood driving recklessly fast, particularly on Bridge Ave that bisects the whole neighborhood. To me 25 mph is more than fast enough and I am strongly in favor of making this our speed limit. Thank you for your consideration. Definitely lower the speed limit in Country Club. People in general drive way too fast. Country Club neighborhood should have a speed limit of 20 mph. I always thought it was 25. When I taught my boys to drive, I stressed importance of how important it is to keep speed at or below 20 mph, that 25 was too fast because of kids playing, pedestrians and other cars. The diagram I recently saw states that speed limit is 30 actually which absolutely shocks me if accurate. Way way too fast. I am speaking of my neighborhood because I know it well. I imagine all residential streets would also need to be kept to at least 25 mph or less. Thank you for recommending lower speed limits in Edina. I heartily support this recommendation. I vote for a speed limit of 25 mph or lower 20 is plenty. Its a no brainer. I fully support reducing the speed limit to 25 in the Country Club neighborhood. We live on Browndale and cars routinely speed and run stop signs as they cut through from 44th to 50th Street. Construction vehicles working on the street are also a major issue with speeding and running stop signs. We live on Arden and have many Little ones I worry about. Non residents and residents use our street to avoid 50th and France traffic if going north on France/LindenHills etc. The of speeds cars and construction trucks is shocking to me. Before the pandemic I would have been at work and would not have noticed this issue. But it is terrible. I think this is a FABULOUS idea. I am totally in favor of reducing speed limits in neighborhoods. I would like the speed limit to go even lower -- 20 mph in residential areas. I am strongly in favor of changing the speed limit to 25 MPH. 30 MPH is way too fast, especially for the Country Club neighborhood. I vote 20 or 25 mph for Country Club neighborhood. I wish we as a neighborhood would have voted to put in speed bumps back when the sewer and water lines were replaced. Speeds on cut through streets are excessive and coasting through stop signs Yes, we've needed this. We are on Wooddale which is used as a thoroughfare thru the neighborhood. Though Wooddale is narrow, a fair portion of those commuting through the neighborhood exceed the current speed limit. So adjustment is quite appreciated. Dear City of Edina, Thank you so much for your recommendation to lower the speed limit in the historical Country Club district, as well as on many other streets in Edina, to 25 MPH. For the safety of our children, as well as for others crossing the street, I strongly support this action. Furthermore, I would ask that police increase enforcement activity related to these speed limits, as people today routinely exceed the current limits on our street (Edina Blvd.). We appreciate your diligence on this important matter, and thank you for your important work. Sincerely, A.R. Weiler 4512 Edina Blvd. Edina, MN 55424 Without enforcement, behavior will not change. You will spend money on signage and it will be wasted. Traffic is slowed by obstacles such as speed bumps or stop signs. My street was narrowed last year and it has done nothing for speed. In some ways it is worse because the street is narrower - speeding and less room to get out of the way. Pls reconsider. Perhaps look at specific streets. Streets are not all the same and there isn't one solution for all. This is Jeff and Virginia Sweitzer at 4514 Arden Ave So. As you know Arden is a narrow street with parking on one side only. As traffic volume has increased on Arden from 50th to Sunnyside over the past 5 to 6 years so have the speeds that morning and evening commuters are traveling on Arden Ave. As I'm sure you are aware Arden is a convenient way to skirt the traffic at the 50th and France area. We observe folks typically traveling in excess of the 30 mph limit, sometimes what appears to be in excess of 50 mph. Therefore we we would like to suggest a reduction to a posted limit of 20 mph knowing that maybe this will net some folks traveling at a lower speed thus reducing the speed of folks following the slower cars. We have inquired about speed bumps between the stop signs but have been told this interferes with the snow plowing, understood. Thank you for your review of the above in advance, Sincerely, Jeffery Sweitzer AIA CID Speed limits should remain the State default for unmarked roads. Understanding the road widths and the ability to park on both sides of the road, I would ask that the evaluation group consider a speed limit of 20 MPH for the Country Club neighborhood. With defined boundaries, establishing a separate speed limit, lower than the rest of the city, is feasible. From a cost perspective, there are no speed limit signs in Country Club (I've been looking) so adding a couple would be of minimal cost. Edina law enforcement would have a set boundary to enforce a lower speed limit which should make it easier for them. Thank you for relooking at speed limits. I think it is appropriate to have 30mph on the main streets (France, Wooddale), but my perspective is 20 is plenty fast for the neighborhood roads. Edina is a community with a ton of kids running & biking, and we should do all we can to keep them safe. I think the speed limit on neighborhood streets should stay at 30 mph unless there are facts that support lowering the speed limit (I.e., what problem are we trying to solve?) Is Edina just trying to be “progressive” or “cool” without facts to support decision-making? I appreciate that the City of Edina is visiting the issue of speed limits on roads under its jurisdiction. First, a correction to the existing speeds map: Parts of Hwy 100 are now 60 mph, including north of Crosstown. I live on the corner of W 49th St and France Ave S, on the Edina side of France Ave. The east side of France Ave is in Minneapolis. Mpls adopted a citywide 20 mph speed limit, unless otherwise posted. Across the street from me, 49th St in Mpls is signed for 20 mph. Along the France Ave border, almost all the Mpls streets are signed for 20mph. I would first like to discuss the matter of sidewalks in relation to our roads. I love France Ave, and cannot imagine why anyone one would choose to not have sidewalks on France Ave, as I told Edina’s then-City Engineer Fran Hoffman in advance of the 1990 France Ave Road Recon. France Ave moves a lot of traffic. 49th St has sidewalk in front of 3 doubles—that’s all. Effectively, 49th St is a “Woonerf”, as are most of the residential streets in Edina. 49th St is a shared space; that is a fact and a good concept. There are no sidewalks on Highway 100, and it is not a shared space, and I think that is good, too. Sidewalks change the character of a street. Some people see them as a positive. Some people see them as a negative, and that a certain quality of life is lost. There are various impacts. Sidewalks communicate and reinforce a negative concept, which is that roads are not a shared space, that roads are for vehicles and not for pedestrians and bicycles. Unarguably, pedestrians, for example, are safer when walking on sidewalks, rather than next to vehicles moving at high speeds. Yet, they are only safe to a point, because ultimately, people go out into the street for a number of reasons, and they need to feel safe, and should be able to be safe, when they are in the street. In other words, the safety afforded by sidewalks is limited. Sidewalks are an infrastructure, and are funded by increased taxes. In many locations where sidewalks have been installed, retaining walls are also installed. Both the new sidewalks and the new retaining walls will have to be periodically maintained with more taxation. Everything always looks so nice and promising when it is new, but just wait until it all becomes aging infrastructure. Ask Minneapolis. Sidewalks must be cleared of snow in the winter. This is a personal burden for residents, unless the City plows the sidewalks, separately from the streets, with more taxes. On some sidewalks, snow piles start to melt on winter days, causing runoff onto sidewalks, which freezes and becomes slippery ice when the temperature inevitably drops. Sometimes, there is freezing rain. Winter events like these can lead people to walk in the street to avoid slipping on icy sidewalks. One option, for the party responsible for the sidewalks, is to apply and re-apply salt throughout the season as needed. But that is another expense and an additional burden. Some facts: 1) sidewalks can be dangerous to walk on at times during the winter, even though shoveled or plowed, 2) sidewalks need salt at certain times to be safe to walk on, and 3) a system (personal or city) entirely separate from City road plows and salt trucks is required to clear sidewalks and keep them safe. There is hardly a road in Mpls that does not have sidewalks on both sides, and yet, sidewalks weren’t enough, and Mpls has now lowered speed limits citywide. In other words, to some extent, the expansive and expensive sidewalk (and related retaining wall) infrastructure is a failure. So, let’s not simply follow in Mpls’s footsteps. I often go out into the street. I am accustomed to traffic, both on France and on 49th. There are drivers who utilize 49th St as a faster alternative to Market St. Residents on 49th and on Maple can describe speed issues along the length. I would like to build on the 20 mph that Mpls has set for 49th St, east of France Ave, and make our side 20 mph, too. During my 40 years at this location, just along my stretch of 49th St (the length of my property), cars have struck my stair railings twice (once summer coming up from France, once winter heading down to France), vehicle ran into snowbank, vehicle ran into apartment driveway retaining wall, vehicle parked on street was struck, vehicle did a 180 coming down the hill to France Ave. The City of Edina is proposing a speed limit of 25 mph unless otherwise signed. If the Edina Police were requested to enforce an area, what is the margin of error in speed enforcement? 5 mph? If so, then the enforced speed is 30 mph. If that is the case, then what is the benefit of the change from citywide 30 mph to citywide 25 mph? What to do with Edina’s speed limits for this project? 1) The City of Edina did not post on Better Together the analytical data behind the proposed speed limit changes. I would like the opportunity to review these data prior to the City Council taking action on the speed limit matter. Could you post any of this data for the public? 2) Edina does not need to act in haste. Edina does not need to act on all streets at once. 3) Hold down our tax burden. 4) Take advantage of existing signage. If there is a speed limit already posted, just leave it at that speed for now. The City can always assess any element at a later date. Wooddale, 50th west of Wooddale, 66th, Valley View, the service road east of Hwy 100—these are a few examples of signed roads. 5) Take action on unsigned roads only. Make all unsigned roads 20 mph. I am guessing that most residents on most unsigned roads (no posted speed limit) would be happier if drivers do not exceed 20 mph. 49th St is not signed. To be clear, I am advocating for 20 mph on 49th St. 6) Assess exceptions. I can share a couple: a. A peculiar, one-block segment of Arden Ave. Very oddly, northbound Arden from 51st to 50th St is posted 30 mph (!), in spite of the fact that it is the kind of residential road that is typically not signed in Edina. For uniformity, remove the sign and allow it to be 20 mph, unless the residents are adamant that it remain 30. b. Exception: 50th St from Wooddale to France, which is unsigned but carries 30 mph from the signed portion of 50th St west of Wooddale. 50th St is an important road for vehicular traffic. It should be faster than the neighborhood internal roads. 25 mph seems reasonable only if the neighborhood interiors are 20 mph. East of France Ave, 50th St is signed for 30 mph. c. You are familiar with more Edina streets than I am. What other possible exceptions can you think of? 7) Get the word out, give it some time, receive feedback, make future adjustments. 8) Promote the shared-use concept! Celebrate as a positive the fact that most of Edina’s roads are Woonerfs. Reducing most of those roads to 20 mph should help. 9) Assess citizen reports of road segments that have a particularly dangerous aspect, e.g. blind spots. People want to be happy. They don’t want to feel like they are always “dodging the bullet”. In some locations, pedestrians can try to be safe when crossing a road, for example, but safety is not truly possible due to curves or hills causing blind spots. In these areas, assess how many seconds a person has to react to traffic, and drivers have to react to a pedestrian. For example, how many feet of roadway are visible in each direction. How many seconds of visibility does that translate to at various speeds? In these areas, limited length 10, 15, or 20 mph, “crosswalk ahead”, and/or blind spot road signs might be helpful, similar to the blind spot sign for the Country Club service access driveway on the northbound service road on the east side of Hwy 100. 10) Assess other alternatives. For example, in my area, reducing southbound France Ave from two lanes to one lane, simply by striping the roadway, has reduced some of the chaos and danger of vehicles jockeying for lane position, while still allowing vehicles to move quickly and efficiently at most times of the day, which is important because France Ave is such an important road for getting from here to there, for handling high volumes of traffic, for being an emergency route, and, as an emergency route, for being able to be plowed equally quickly and efficiently (e.g. no messy, obstructive curb bump-outs). In the past, it seemed like there was at least one crash every year at 49th and France. That is not the case now. As a matter of fact, both north and south of 50th, I have observed more instances of polite conduct by drivers, which is more effective in the context of fewer driving lanes, because there are fewer collaborators required for ensuring safe road crossings, and by that I am referring to crossings by both pedestrians and vehicles. I am well aware that France Ave is a County road and not under your jurisdiction, but wanted to mention this because there have been some improvements without obstructing traffic. 11) Maintain financial support for the Edina Police so that they can continue to address such issues as impaired driving and red light running. I can mention that in the past year, I have observed on different days, during the daytime, drivers of a very expensive car and a very expensive SUV run the red light at 50th & Halifax. Both 50th & Halifax have sidewalks. Red light runners are a threat to other drivers as well as to pedestrians. No one is safe when drivers run red lights. Equally dangerous, pedestrians should not step out into the street in front of a moving vehicle, as though the vehicle were not there, simply because they are at a crosswalk. I have witnessed that, too. These are exceptions to normal conduct, but they are a reality. 12) At what speeds are people actually driving? To assist in review and discussion, it might be helpful to publicly post online, the data gained from speed studies. In order to get more accurate results, the police department speed box should not be present while speeds are being assessed. 13) Keep apprised of future technologies on the horizon. Might some of today’s traffic concerns be reduced or eliminated with some future technological changes to vehicles? How do we address speed and traffic issues now, while being mindful that some issues might change in the future? 14) Keep in mind that the vast majority of vehicle trips each day result in no crashes. Thank you. I find it hard to believe that the speed limit on a busy road connected to a freeway (70th), has a lower speed limit than the road where dozens of young children play (Gilford). Cars race by because it’s a straight shot with no stop signs. Seems like the limit should at least be as low as 70th street. I am writing in strong support of reducing the default speed limit in Edina to 25 mph. In my area of South Cornelia / Lake Edina, I've witnessed numerous near-misses between fast-moving vehicles (going at or above the speed limit) and children on foot or on bicycles. (There are about two dozen kids under middle school age on our street and a similar number around the corner on Hibiscus -- the kids often travel between the two streets via West Shore Drive, where there have been numerous scary incidents.) Just a couple weeks ago, my 11yo son was helping try to lure a neighbor's wayward elderly dog home across Gilford when a speeding vehicle hit the dog (while my son and the neighbor child were nearby). The sound was terrifying. I knew it was just a matter of time before someone or something was hit given the speed that vehicles travel on Gilford Drive. (Coincidentally, Councilperson Fischer happened to walk by with his wife in the aftermath of the accident, though I don't think he understood what was happening at the time. The driver who hit the dog was stopped in the middle of the road. I had to walk into the street into the path of another car that was about to speed around the stopped vehicle and potentially hit the dog a second time, which further illustrated for me the unsafe speeds people travel even when pedestrians, bikes and other impediments are present.) Thank you for this forward-thinking proposal and for the work being done to make Edina's streets more pedestrian- and bike-friendly. We are greatly looking forward to the day when we may enjoy the safety and social benefits of a sidewalk on Gilford Drive thanks to the Safe Routes to School plan. Thank you. Living On a cup de sac near 70th where there is a crosswalk and stop sign- at Tracy. cars often do not even stop at the stop sign or for pedestrians. Cars take off from the stop sign at high speeds- sometimes “peeling” out. We have called many times to the city to complain. Not only lower speed limit but would love to see a permanent sign like on interlachen blvd that shows the speed limit sign and the speedThe driver is currently driving somewhere on 70th. Lots of local plus rush hour “cut through” traffic and HS drivers. Way to fast- oncoming cars sometimes don’t stop for the bus with stop arm out!! Bus driver has to honk- mind u the Sri era are approaching an intersection with stop sign and still blow past the bus! Please help! Map Submissions Street Classification Street Approximate Limits Current Speed Limit Recommended Speed Limit Pin Placed Comment Local Division St Spur Rd to Oxford Ave 30 25 This should be 20 mph. Cars cut through going very fast on Division between Interlachen, through Cooper and Brookside/44th. The city has done a couple of speed gun monitors, but there are even more kids around since the last time a study was done. This is truly an exercise superhighway. There are no sidewalks, and we have a lot of kids on bikes and strollers/wagons come through here. As cars and SUVs speed down the Cooper hill past Circle East, they don't slow down and it is unsafe. Police only enforce when we complain once every couple of years. Please lower the limit even more than 25 (which is absolutely an improvement over the 30 mph!). Todd Park is right at the stop sign, but there are tons of walkers and students crossing Division St there as well. Thank you for your consideration! Local Sunnyside Rd Arden Ave to Grimes Ave 30 25 This should be 20 mph. Numerous children attempt to make use of the crosswalks on Sunnyside to access shops at 44th and France as well as Kojetin Park. The speed limit needs to be 20 mph, just so cars can see and stop for the crosswalks. Local Sunnyside Rd Townes Rd to Curve Ave 30 25 This should be 20 mph. Through the entire year (both winter and summer) residents love walking "the circle" made by towned road, sunnyside and Arden Rd. This area is without sidewalks and is extreamly dangerous given the curvy nature of the street. Local Creek Valley Rd Valley View Rd to CDS 30 25 This should be 20 mph. Creek Valley (off Tracy) road dead- ins at the Edina High School, Children use this road to access the school. Currently the Edina Cross Country teams use this road for training runs. MSA Olinger Blvd Colonial Way to Tracy Ave 30 25 This should be 20 mph. Drivers speed down Olinger Blvd at 35-40+ mph. I cross Olinger Blvd from my home on Jeff Place at least 3 times a day to walk my dogs in Bredesen. It's harrowing sometimes. MSA W 58th St Abbott Ave to Zenith Ave 30 25 This should be 25 mph. Speeding has and is an issue on 58th. The residents around 58th should not have to worry about speeding drivers going to and from work. Local Creek Valley Rd Valley View Rd to CDS 30 25 This should be 20 mph. This road dead ends into the school property and is used by some sports teams. Additionally, it IS twisty and people ZOOM down it. It should be reduced! Local St. Johns Ave Valley View Rd to W 62nd St 30 25 This should be 20 mph. St Johns is used as a means of getting to many of the cul-de-sacs further south and generates a significant amount of traffic off Valley View that often travels at unsafe speeds through a residential neighborhood. Local Casco Ave Bridge St to Country Club Rd 30 25 This should be 20 mph. The country club steets are narrow, have parked cars and are full of kids playing. Only one car can drive down a street at a time. There is no safe way to ever drive these streets at over 20 mph. MSA Wooddale Ave Wooddale Ln to Wooddale Gln 30 25 This should be 25 mph. Please make Wooddale 25 mph. Drivers routinely fly down our street at speeds much higher than 30 mph. 25 mph would make our street safer for everyone! MSA Gleason Rd Gleason Cir to Scotia Dr 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Enforce existing. Main travel corridor. MSA Valley View Rd Lois Ln to Susan Ave 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Valley View Rd. south of 62 should stay at 30 mph MSA Valley View Rd Grace Ter to Lois Ln 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Keep existing. Heavy usage. Monitor for speeders. MSA Normandale Rd Eden Ave to Wind Rd 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Frontage Roads should stay 30 mph MSA Wooddale Ave W 53rd St to W 54th St 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Wooddale Ave between 50th and Valley View should be 30 mps MSA Blake Rd Saxony Rd to Jeffrey Ln 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Blake Road north of Vernon should stay at 30 mph, which is reasonable given the distance of this road between Vernon and Interlachen MSA Valley View Rd W 60th St to Ryan Ave 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Valley view from 60th to Hwy 62 should remain 30 mph. Again, this needs to be slightly quicker than "neighborhood streets" so that it encourages vehicles to take the main route. MSA Valley View Rd St. Johns Ave to Wooddale Ave 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Valley View Rd should remain 30 to encourage traffic to avoid the neighborhood streets. MSA W 66th St West Shore Dr to Cornelia Cir 30 25 This should be 30 mph. This road has minimal residential and should stay at 30 mph MSA Cahill Rd Amundson Ave to Dewey Hill Rd 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Cahill Road should stay at 30 due to the lack of residential housing MSA Dewey Hill Rd Shannon Dr to Coventry Way 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Dewey Hill should stay 30 mph as a major throughway MSA Hilary Ln Braemar Blvd to Gleason Rd 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Braemar Blvd and Dewey Hill Road should stay at 30 mph as they are wide streets and reasonable to travel at that speed MSA Hilary Ln Braemar Blvd to Gleason Rd 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Main travel corridor. Could be better enforced for speeders. MSA Wooddale Ave W 50th St to Wooddale Ln 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Wooddale Ave S from 50th to Valley View should remain 30 mph. This will continue to serve as a more "main thoroughfare" for vehicles so that they will quit "cutting through" the streets with kids playing on them. There are multiple stop signs on Wooddale to help ensure speeds don't get out of control. MSA W 50th St Indianola Ave to Halifax Ave 30 25 This should be 30 mph. I believe the speed limit on 50th should remain 30 mph from Wooddale Ave S. east to Halifax Ave S. The traffic along 50th is already clogged and there are lights at Wooddale and Halifax to assist with pedestrian crossing. But we LOVE the idea of reducing the speed limit in/around 50th/France/Market/Halifax shopping district where there are so many pedestrians! Local Casco Ave Bridge St to Country Club Rd 30 25 This should be 20 mph. The country club steets are narrow, have parked cars and are full of kids playing. Only one car can drive down a street at a time. There is no safe way to ever drive these streets at over 20 mph. Local Arden Ave Sunnyside Rd to Bridge St 30 25 This should be 20 mph. Arden is used as a cut through from Grimes/Sunnyside to 50th and cars fly down the street, including local restaurant delivery vehicles. It should be 20mph Local W 49th St Townes Rd to France Ave 30 25 This should be 20 mph. W 49th has become a thoroughfare for people seeking to bypass the stoplight at France and 50th. People are driving too fast on 49th, which has a small hill and almost no sidewalks. The result is an unsafe situation that is exacerbated when cars are parked on the street. In addition to a lower speed limit, 49th would benefit from speed bumps and/or other speed control measures. Local West Shore Dr Dunham Dr to Gilford Dr 30 25 This should be 25 mph. West Shore Drive desperately needs a sidewalk as well as a lower speed limit. It is a main thoroughfare for kids traveling to and from school, from the various surrounding parks and for dog walkers and runners who wish to access the Lake Cornelia area. It's downright frightening to walk along West Shore Drive even in nice weather as there's enough fast-moving traffic that pedestrians need to often hop up into peoples' yards to ensure safe distance. I beg my kids to avoid it as much as possible as cars regularly travel much faster than 30 mph. Local Gilford Dr Wooddale Ave to Kellogg Ave 30 25 This should be 25 mph. Gilford Drive is used as a cut- through street during rush hours to avoid 70th Street and shorten the trip between the CPC area and the intersection of 72nd and France. There are many children (roughly two dozen) middle school and younger who regularly travel by bike and on foot with friends. It creates a very unsafe environment where near-misses occur regularly, particularly near the corner of Gilford/Wooddale and Gilford/Kellogg and Gilford/Oaklawn. Local Edina Blvd Sunnyside Rd to Bridge St 30 25 This should be 25 mph. 25 MPH is a great start. Enforcement -- initially with an automated speed sign -- by Edina Police should also accompany this change Local View Ln Schaefer Rd to Vernon Ave 30 25 This should be 25 mph. Cars heading in either direction here tend to increase speeds because of the distance between intersections. I would also like to see speed bumps installed to enforce slower speeds. Local Morningside Rd Ottowa Ave to Oakdale Ave 30 20 This should be 25 mph. It does not seem consistent to have this small segment be 20 mph and does not seem to be enforceable when the rest of the street is 25mph Local W 42nd St Ottowa Ave to Oakdale Ave 30 20 This should be 25 mph. Why is this tiny segment 20 mph when the rest of the street is 25 mph? Local Hansen Rd W 56th St to Grove St 30 25 This should be 30 mph. Hansen Road should stay 30 mph due to the lack of residential and usage of this road. MSA Tracy Ave Hwy 62 to Valley Ln 30 25 This should be 35 mph. Tracy should remain 35 mph from Highland Rd south up until the entrance/exit to Hwy 62. It is a more main road and this section is far enough away from the schools.

Hello, My name is Anne Griffiths and I live at 4713 Hibiscus Ave. I am writing in strong support of the proposed speedlimit changes. As a pediatric pulmonologist at Children’s Minnesota and Gillette Children’s, I am sometimesinvolved in the care of pediatric trauma cases. I feel strongly that the decrease in speed limit in our neighborhoodwhich lacks sidewalks and is a major throughway (Hibiscus and West Shore) would be very helpful and prudent.Within 2 blocks we have no fewer than 31 children under the age of 10. There’s a strong sense of community amongthe parents of young children here but many drivers continue to be distracted for different reasons. The injury of achild would be catastrophic for this neighborhood, no matter what variables might have been involved, and it makessense to take what precautions we can to keep this place so special. Additionally, the “walker” zones and desire toavoid group bussing has lead to more young children walking to school. While I would imagine it was rare forsomeone years ago to drive impaired by alcohol in the morning, we know it isn’t rare for some people to text whiledriving today. Distraction is a problem but decreased speed would help pedestrians and bike riders to better react. Iwould also be in support of further consideration to widen the school zone for speed restriction.

We live four blocks from Cornelia Elementary and can hardly cross 70th street even when we activate the flashing lightsat the crosswalk on Wooddale. People are driving 45-50 mph sometimes during rush hour. Please have more speed traps. Can you use the cameras at the stop lights to measure speed and mail tickets to people? That would be a deterrent. It is very frustrating and dangerous how fast people are going and it is getting worse.

However this change also slowed traffic in my neighborhood. The reality is that drivers won’t slow to 25, so changes accomplish nothing. Bad idea.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Andrew We spoke earlier this year about sidewalks and parking on Hibiscus Avenue. Today I spotted the article in the Thursday October 15th sun current. This article states that there is a draft recommendation fromThe city engineering department to use ‘bettertogetheredina’ to reduce the speed limit. This is the opposite of what we should be doing. When we talked about the through- neighborhood traffic around Corneila School and south of 70th I noted that the problem is that 70th is 25 mph and that the surface streets are 30 mph. When he was on the city council, Josh Sprague- who lives right on 70th Street- demanded thatit be 25 mph from 100 to France Avenue. I have followed him up 70th and even he does not keep below 25 mph. At the better together curbside meeting I suggested moving 70th at least to 30 mph to detercut- through traffic on side streets. Now that someone is pushing for lower neighborhood speed limits I say increase the speedlimit on 70th to 35 mph. Leave the surface streets at 30 mph. I attended SouthWest high school, walking or driving to school sometimes twice a day forathletic or band practices. I grew up bicycling on Linden Hills Boulevard, Lake Harriet and all over the city of Minneapolis and speed limits are irrelevant. What that city has decided todo with speed limits is beyond belief. Walking on the surface streets has expanded in my edina neighborhood. I walked daily all summer. Drivers already drive slowly when pedestrians are present. I dropped the kids off at edina schools for 15 years (four school years apart), so crossing townto both campuses- there are so few bicycles in and around EHS and also Southview Middle School in the wintertime that the number is absolutely insignificant. There was one bicyclist, a teacher, who used that same route through the winter weather (one.) After all these years of driving 70th street I am confident that bicycle lanes and speed limitchanges do not help enough people to offset the inconvenience of creating them. Please leave the speeds where they are or increase them to 35 mph.

Hello, Feedback is requested on proposed speed limit changes but in our neighborhood (Country Club) it would be best to add stop signs at each/every intersection. Currently it’s inconsistent where stop signs are placed and some intersections in our country club neighborhood have them at 4 sides, some are just on two and it’s confusing to drivers.

Chad, Andrew, This afternoon, I submitted comments re Local Speed Limits using the submittal form at BT. I wrote my comments separately, then copied them into the submittal window. All the paragraph spacing disappeared, so the submittal looks like one long paragraph—Not my intent! I later returned to BT, to try re-entering my comments, hoping to see if I could get it to accept and retain paragraph spacing while still in the submittal window, prior to clicking the submit button. However, BT would not allow me to make a second submittal using the form. Attached is a pdf of my comments with paragraph spacing. Roberta Castellano R. Castellano 10-30-2020, Page 1 of 4 I appreciate that the City of Edina is visiting the issue of speed limits on roads under its jurisdiction. First, a correction to the existing speeds map: Parts of Hwy 100 are now 60 mph, including north of Crosstown. I live on the corner of W 49th St and France Ave S, on the Edina side of France Ave. The east side of France Ave is in Minneapolis. Mpls adopted a citywide 20 mph speed limit, unless otherwise posted. Across the street from me, 49th St in Mpls is signed for 20 mph. Along the France Ave border, almost all the Mpls streets are signed for 20mph. I would first like to discuss the matter of sidewalks in relation to our roads. I love France Ave, and cannot imagine why anyone one would choose to not have sidewalks on France Ave, as I told Edina’s then-City Engineer Fran Hoffman in advance of the 1990 France Ave Road Recon. France Ave moves a lot of traffic. 49th St has sidewalk in front of 3 doubles—that’s all. Effectively, 49th St is a “Woonerf”, as are most of the residential streets in Edina. 49th St is a shared space; that is a fact and a good concept. There are no sidewalks on Highway 100, and it is not a shared space, and I think that is good, too. Sidewalks change the character of a street. Some people see them as a positive. Some people see them as a negative, and that a certain quality of life is lost. There are various impacts. Sidewalks communicate and reinforce a negative concept, which is that roads are not a shared space, that roads are for vehicles and not for pedestrians and bicycles. Unarguably, pedestrians, for example, are safer when walking on sidewalks, rather than next to vehicles moving at high speeds. Yet, they are only safe to a point, because ultimately, people go out into the street for a number of reasons, and they need to feel safe, and should be able to be safe, when they are in the street. In other words, the safety afforded by sidewalks is limited. Sidewalks are an infrastructure, and are funded by increased taxes. In many locations where sidewalks have been installed, retaining walls are also installed. Both the new sidewalks and the new retaining walls will have to be periodically maintained with more taxation. Everything always looks so nice and promising when it is new, but just wait until it all becomes aging infrastructure. Ask Minneapolis. Sidewalks must be cleared of snow in the winter. This is a personal burden for residents, unless the City plows the sidewalks, separately from the streets, with more taxes. On some sidewalks, snow piles start to melt on winter days, causing runoff onto sidewalks, which freezes and becomes slippery ice when the temperature inevitably drops. Sometimes, there is freezing rain. Winter events like these can lead people to walk in the street to avoid slipping on icy sidewalks. One option, for the party responsible for the sidewalks, is to apply and re-apply salt throughout the season as needed. But that is another expense and an additional burden. Some facts: 1) sidewalks can be dangerous to walk on at times during the winter, even though shoveled or plowed, 2) sidewalks need salt at certain times to be safe to walk on, and 3) a system (personal or city) entirely separate from City road plows and salt trucks is required to clear sidewalks and keep them safe. R. Castellano 10-30-2020, Page 2 of 4 There is hardly a road in Mpls that does not have sidewalks on both sides, and yet, sidewalks weren’t enough, and Mpls has now lowered speed limits citywide. In other words, to some extent, the expansive and expensive sidewalk (and related retaining wall) infrastructure is a failure. So, let’s not simply follow in Mpls’s footsteps. I often go out into the street. I am accustomed to traffic, both on France and on 49th. There are drivers who utilize 49th St as a faster alternative to Market St. Residents on 49th and on Maple can describe speed issues along the length. I would like to build on the 20 mph that Mpls has set for 49th St, east of France Ave, and make our side 20 mph, too. During my 40 years at this location, just along my stretch of 49th St (the length of my property), cars have struck my stair railings twice (once summer coming up from France, once winter heading down to France), vehicle ran into snowbank, vehicle ran into apartment driveway retaining wall, vehicle parked on street was struck, vehicle did a 180 coming down the hill to France Ave. The City of Edina is proposing a speed limit of 25 mph unless otherwise signed. If the Edina Police were requested to enforce an area, what is the margin of error in speed enforcement? 5 mph? If so, then the enforced speed is 30 mph. If that is the case, then what is the benefit of the change from citywide 30 mph to citywide 25 mph? What to do with Edina’s speed limits for this project? 1) The City of Edina did not post on Better Together the analytical data behind the proposed speed limit changes. I would like the opportunity to review these data prior to the City Council taking action on the speed limit matter. Could you post any of this data for the public? 2) Edina does not need to act in haste. Edina does not need to act on all streets at once. 3) Hold down our tax burden. 4) Take advantage of existing signage. If there is a speed limit already posted, just leave it at that speed for now. The City can always assess any element at a later date. Wooddale, 50th west of Wooddale, 66th, Valley View, the service road east of Hwy 100—these are a few examples of signed roads. 5) Take action on unsigned roads only. Make all unsigned roads 20 mph. I am guessing that most residents on most unsigned roads (no posted speed limit) would be happier if drivers do not exceed 20 mph. 49th St is not signed. To be clear, I am advocating for 20 mph on 49th St. 6) Assess exceptions. I can share a couple: a. A peculiar, one-block segment of Arden Ave. Very oddly, northbound Arden from 51st to 50th St is posted 30 mph (!), in spite of the fact that it is the kind of residential road that is typically not signed in Edina. For uniformity, remove the sign and allow it to be 20 mph, unless the residents are adamant that it remain 30. b. Exception: 50th St from Wooddale to France, which is unsigned but carries 30 mph from the signed portion of 50th St west of Wooddale. 50th St is an important road for vehicular traffic. It should be faster than the neighborhood internal roads. 25 mph seems reasonable only if the neighborhood interiors are 20 mph. East of France Ave, 50th St is signed for 30 mph. R. Castellano 10-30-2020, Page 3 of 4 c. You are familiar with more Edina streets than I am. What other possible exceptions can you think of? 7) Get the word out, give it some time, receive feedback, make future adjustments. 8) Promote the shared-use concept! Celebrate as a positive the fact that most of Edina’s roads are Woonerfs. Reducing most of those roads to 20 mph should help. 9) Assess citizen reports of road segments that have a particularly dangerous aspect, e.g. blind spots. People want to be happy. They don’t want to feel like they are always “dodging the bullet”. In some locations, pedestrians can try to be safe when crossing a road, for example, but safety is not truly possible due to curves or hills causing blind spots. In these areas, assess how many seconds a person has to react to traffic, and drivers have to react to a pedestrian. For example, how many feet of roadway are visible in each direction. How many seconds of visibility does that translate to at various speeds? In these areas, limited length 10, 15, or 20 mph, “crosswalk ahead”, and/or blind spot road signs might be helpful, similar to the blind spot sign for the Country Club service access driveway on the northbound service road on the east side of Hwy 100. 10) Assess other alternatives. For example, in my area, reducing southbound France Ave from two lanes to one lane, simply by striping the roadway, has reduced some of the chaos and danger of vehicles jockeying for lane position, while still allowing vehicles to move quickly and efficiently at most times of the day, which is important because France Ave is such an important road for getting from here to there, for handling high volumes of traffic, for being an emergency route, and, as an emergency route, for being able to be plowed equally quickly and efficiently (e.g. no messy, obstructive curb bump-outs). In the past, it seemed like there was at least one crash every year at 49th and France. That is not the case now. As a matter of fact, both north and south of 50th, I have observed more instances of polite conduct by drivers, which is more effective in the context of fewer driving lanes, because there are fewer collaborators required for ensuring safe road crossings, and by that I am referring to crossings by both pedestrians and vehicles. I am well aware that France Ave is a County road and not under your jurisdiction, but wanted to mention this because there have been some improvements without obstructing traffic. 11) Maintain financial support for the Edina Police so that they can continue to address such issues as impaired driving and red light running. I can mention that in the past year, I have observed on different days, during the daytime, drivers of a very expensive car and a very expensive SUV run the red light at 50th & Halifax. Both 50th & Halifax have sidewalks. Red light runners are a threat to other drivers as well as to pedestrians. No one is safe when drivers run red lights. Equally dangerous, pedestrians should not step out into the street in front of a moving vehicle, as though the vehicle were not there, simply because they are at a crosswalk. I have witnessed that, too. These are exceptions to normal conduct, but they are a reality. R. Castellano 10-30-2020, Page 4 of 4 12) At what speeds are people actually driving? To assist in review and discussion, it might be helpful to publicly post online, the data gained from speed studies. In order to get more accurate results, the police department speed box should not be present while speeds are being assessed. 13) Keep apprised of future technologies on the horizon. Might some of today’s traffic concerns be reduced or eliminated with some future technological changes to vehicles? How do we address speed and traffic issues now, while being mindful that some issues might change in the future? 14) Keep in mind that the vast majority of vehicle trips each day result in no crashes.

Andrew, My apologies, I know the public comment period has ended, but over this weekend, we had several instances of people roaring down our street in our quiet neighborhood. I'd like to suggest that any road with a cul-de-sac or no outlet have a speed limit of 20 mph. Iknow that there are a lot across the city of Edina, but the majority of these road types have families and kids playing / running from house to house / crossing the street / riding bikes,etc. Our neighborhood is filled with kids and every week our neighbors and I remind those driving down our street making deliveries, picking up trash, etc that there's no need to speed throughour short / no outlet road. Whipping down our road at 30 and the proposed 25 is still WAY to fast for a no-exit location. We already have issues with drivers not stopping at our one stop sign, so to limit the speedwould be even more helpful. Again, my apologies for this late feedback, but this rule would really help us keep our street safe.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hello Mr. Scipioni, It’s my understanding Edina is considering lowering some/ all residential speed limits from 30mph to 25mph. Please make this happen. In fact I’ll take it a step further and say residential streets without lane lines should be 20mph. I live on Aspen Road, which is a short cul de sac, no sidewalks. From the stop sign at the corner to the end of cul de sac it’s the length of six homes... SIX!!! I would welcome a traffic study that would show me a scenario where it would be appropriate to gun it to 30mph before slamming on the brakes to make the u-turn at the cul de sac. I’ll also add on this short stretch of Aspen Road (the length of six yards) there are 19 children. We regularly have to yell at people to slow down (most delivery drivers who are lost and don’t realize it’s a dead end) City wide slowing down to 20 mph is the only way to get people to actually wake up and realize how fast 30 mph really is. For once let’s take a cue from Minneapolis and slow down to 20mph. If you’d like to do a traffic study I know our neighborhood would welcome it. Please contact me anytime if I can assist.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi Andrew, I have just been made aware of the new speed limit proposal in Edina neighborhoods. I apologize if mytiming may be delayed for commenting but I feel strongly that I need to reach out still. I live on the corner of Tamarac and Aspen Road in Edina. Every single day I watch multiple cars andtrucks blow through the stop sign and race down our streets. I have tried to flag cars down, havesignaled to drivers to slow down, have run after and stopped cars and have put signs in my yard toremind cars to slow down. It still doesn't change the fact that people are whipping through ourneighborhood unsafely. I have five young children under the age of 7yo and there are at least 40 other young children in ourneighborhood. As much as we try to teach them safety about cars and being in the street, we expectdrivers to drive safely and responsibly throughout our neighborhoods. I am pleading with you to strongly consider limiting the speed to 20mph. We are a no-exit neighborhoodor cul-de-sacs-20mph is PLENTY. Thank you!

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi Andrew, will you please include this email from Kirk and me in the packet of Speed Limit proposal info for the City Council? Thanks so much! Mr. Mayor and City Council members, As Chair and Vice Chair of the Transportation Commission for Edina, we would like to offer our thoughts regarding the proposed speed limits plan for the City. We understand your wishes for an easy-to- understand, uncomplicated, uniform speed throughout the residential streets in Edina. As two of our biggest neighboring cities (Minneapolis and St. Louis Park) have chosen to go with a tiered structure, with a speed limit of 20 mph on residential streets, we believe that if we are to set speed limits in Edina at a different rate, this would also lend itself to confusion for drivers in Edina. For this reason and that of safety for our residents, we feel very strongly that the uniform residential street speed limit, and default speed in Edina should be consistent with our neighbors at 20 mph. In addition to consistency with our neighbors, if we examine this from a safety perspective, we believe that 20 mph is the safest vehicle speed on all streets where pedestrians and bicyclists share the space. From parked cars, children playing, and the nature of Edina's curved and sight-limited streets, 20, to borrow Minneapolis' slogan, is plenty! In addition, we are sure you are aware that vehicles routinely go faster than the posted speed. If 25 were to be the set/default speed, we are confident that vehicles on our residential streets will frequently approach 30 mph. In reality, we believe that both 25 and 30 mph on these streets is quite fast and unsafe. In accordance with the initial proposal (July of 2020) for a tiered system, the data strongly supports the slower speed limit. If we truly want "Living Streets" in Edina, 20 mph is, we believe, the best option for a uniform/default speed. We understand that this is an important decision that can create some emotion with Edina residents. The recent public engagement feedback suggests that, when specifically asked, Edina residents are roughly split on the speed limit change. However, over the years in surveys, residents have consistently voiced their desire for slower speeds in their neighborhoods. While NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) suggests this "middle route" of 25 mph, a compromise of sorts, when selecting the default or uniform speed, it is our opinion that the science from crash and safety data as well as livability data supports a 20 mph speed limit. Further, we believe that the sheer volume of our residential streets, as compared with the volume of other streets in our City, are "MINOR" streets as identified by NACTO, and therefore should be the guiding factor in setting the uniform speed. The strategy of setting a uniform speed based on a "compromise" does not create the safe and liveable residential streets we wish for in Edina. In this case, the vision we have for our community as liveable and multi-modal, from the Comprehensive Plan to the Bike/Ped Plan to Living Streets supports calming and slowing down motor vehicle traffic in our neighborhoods, all of which point to 20 mph as a uniform speed. Our Living Streets policy asks us to "improve the current and future quality of life of the public." We believe that the liveability of our community is not a compromise, and that the speed be set at a rate that is safe and right for Edina. Finally, based on observation of consistent behavior, we believe that whatever speed limit is set will frequently be exceeded by a few miles per hour, often 5 mph over the set limit. As our police department generally does not enforce residential speed limits particularly those that exceed the existing limit by 5 mph 2 or less, we ask that the speed be set low enough to account for human behavior and also supports the police department as they enforce this new ordinance. At our Commission Meeting on December 14, we had a lengthy conversation about the proposal. While we did not vote on a recommendation as this was not requested of us, the two of us believe so strongly in a 20 mph uniform speed, we want to go on record with our concerns. We would be happy to discuss this with you at your convenience. Thank you so much for your consideration!

Dear Mr. Scipioni, Thank you so much for all your department is doing to keep Edina a safe and pleasant community! (https://www.startribune.com/suburbs-looking-to-decrease-speed-limits/600018900/) As homeowners who paid the full assessment for the re-do on West 70th a few years back, we support ongoing initiatives to control speeds. As you already know, West 70th continues to be a challenge--speeding is back up to pre-renovation levels. In addition to Cornelia School, there are at least 16 children under the age of 18 living on West 70th just between West Shore and HW 100. We continue to have near misses with speeding, negligent drivers as we clear snow from driveway aprons on 70th. It would help immensely to have an electronic speed reminder placed across from CPC Church as people exit HW 100 to eastbound W. 70th.

He explained that Mr. Palmer is a member of a new pilot AmeriCore program called Community Forestry Core. He noted this is the first year of the program and it has been a great help. City Forester Overholt gave a power point presentation regarding the Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan. He also noted he applied for another grant with Hennepin County and was able to get inventoried all the ash trees located on mowed maintained areas of the parks. Commissioners asked questions. Staff Liaison Vetter pointed out as replacements are planted due to tree loss from disease that there are a variety of trees to choose from to stress diversification of the forestry efforts in Edina so that they are not in this type of situation 15 years from now.

She explained the fee philosophy, factors impacting costs and revenue sources for the Parks & Recreation programs as well as the enterprise facilities. She indicated staff is asking the commission to review and recommend the proposed 2021 fees to the City Council. Commissioners asked questions and made suggestions. Motion made by Good to accept the 2021 fees as recommended and pass them on to the City Council. Motion seconded by McAwley. Roll call vote. Motion carried. C. 2020 Work Plan Discussion Staff Liaison Vetter asked the commission for any additional comments to the 2020 Work Plan and asked for feedback on Initiative #4 and talk about the capital improvement prioritization. Initiative #4 - Develop criteria that incorporates sustainability and equity for prioritizing capital improvements for park infrastructure needs, including playground equipment, warming houses and core amenities for expansion and replacement. Parks and Recreation Commission will create the criteria and both Energy and Environment commission and Human Rights & Relations commission will appoint up to 2 members for feedback on final criteria before it goes to council. Staff Liaison Vetter informed the commission there have been several meetings on this initiative with the work group and they are now bringing it back to the commission for comments before it goes to the City Council. There is a summary of prioritization (not listed in order of importance or weight) with feedback from the Human Rights and Relations Commission and the Energy and Environment Commission in the packet. Commissioner Nelson informed the commission gathering of feedback is a challenge because of the variety of data points and how that data could be used.. However, she thinks it gives them a good understanding of what areas they need to look at when they analyze projects that are being proposed as well as what will they need to tell residents or groups who are making suggestions. She explained this gives them something they have not had before in looking at how do they want to prioritize projects in times of scarce resources. They need to make sure they are constantly looking to protect assets and constantly looking at how factors of race and equity and sustainability will be reviewed. Staff Liaison Vetter pointed out that he did mention to Commissioner Nelson that the feedback from EEC was the most detailed survey and noted it would be a challenge for staff to put together when they are proposing a CIP project. However, that is really good information for review when a project is coming up for vote or begins to move forward. They are really good details to have so it is trying to find that balance between helping prioritize to get things of need with limited funding versus all of the details of a full project that is up for debate. Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: 2/9/2021 Commissioners asked questions and made suggestions. Initiative #7 - Study and report on the strategic goal of 15% of Edina land dedicated to parks and green spaces. Commissioner Good informed the commission that the work group will be meeting one more time before bringing back a finalized draft to the February meeting. Staff Liaison Vetter thanked everyone for their work on the initiatives. D. 2021 Work Plan Discussion Staff Liaison Vetter gave a PowerPoint presentation on how the 2021 Work Plan comes together and how it fits in with everything. Staff Liaison Vetter went through the five initiatives on the Parks & Recreation 2021 Work Plan and confirmed that the commissioners were listed under the correct initiatives. Staff Liaison Vetter indicated as staff they will update the progress on the work plan quarterly but would still like to keep it on the monthly agenda for any updates the commissioners may have. He noted council is looking for some progress at the end of each quarter. Chair Ites noted that he should also be listed under Initiatives #2 and #3. Commissioner Good noted that the student commissioners Sorem and Mork were interested in participating on Initiative #5. VI. Chair and Member Comments Commissioner Good congratulated Staff Liaison Vetter and his entire staff on managing the impact and changes due to COVID-19 in the past year. He wanted to recognize the great work staff did on scrambling to keep things going as best they could in not just having to live with it but really succeed with it. Commissioner Good informed the commission he was thinking what a theme for 2021 could be. He noted in thinking about some of the core reasons why people move to Edina (strong schools, excellent park system, attractable location within the twin cities geography, etc.) how do they continue to really communicate the strengths of their parks and their programs through 2021. They need to let the City Council know the need they have for strong funding going forward and to at least take note of the great work that was done in 2020. He stated there are 44 parks and 8 or 9 enterprise facilities and most of them have a real true lack of funding to keep them as excellent as they would like them to be. He indicated this would be a good opportunity to take the good foundation they have in the strategic plan, the comprehensive plan and master plans in place and really spend some time continuing to promote what they have but also talk seriously and directly about what they need and think about five or ten years from now will they still have the same excellent structure they have today. He noted this is critical if they are going to maintain and improve what they have. Commissioner McAwley added they need to keep this an Draft Minutes☐ Approved Minutes☒ Approved Date: 2/9/2021 issue to the community if they want to have great parks for everyone, they need to set up that fund. Chair Ites asked how the golf dome is doing. Staff Liaison Vetter replied that with the most recent executive order they are now going to start hitting on the lower and upper levels. The dividers are 10 feet apart, so they were able to use every other one. If new guidance is received staff would review and modify operations as allowed by executive order. He noted things are picking up and are steady and added they have a good, dedicated staff ensuring the protocols are in place so when a patron walks in, they feel safe in the environment. VII. Staff Comments A. Informational Items Staff Liaison Vetter gave the following updates in addition to what is in the packet: Staff received a very nice letter from a resident highlighting several things staff has done. It is great to hear a lot of positive feedback from commissioners and from the public on all of the great stuff that staff has been doing. There are two projects going on along the road around the golf course. There is a buckthorn management project occurring on the south side/course side of the road. It is not a roadway expansion it is purely some buckthorn management along that side. In addition, Forester Overholt is doing some buckthorn management at Bredesen Park. B.
