Hyde City Manager SUBJ: Valley View /Hwy 18 In accordance with your directions of August 2 following receipt of petitions from several residents asking for reconsideration of present plans for the above interchange, your staff has reviewed previous recommenda- tions, made some additional studies, and has thoroughly considered the letter of September 1 signed by an ad hoc group of 10 citizens. You were sent copies of that letter by the group. The staff concurs with the primary recommendations 1, 2 and 4 of the group namely, 1. Do not build the link from the interchange directly east to Braemar. Boulevard. The staff would add "at this time, with the land required for the link to be retained." 2. Do not install the cul de sac on Valley View Road. This has always been the staff position. 3. Pursue necessary action to have the West Bush Lake Road Marth Road area ramps to I -494 built. At our urging, Met Council is having a meeting Monday afternoon, Sept. 13, to inventory where all DMJM recommendations stand. Dunn and Hoffman are attending. The third primary recommendation, to "Continue McCauley Trail south beyond Arena to 78th street, ".,cannot be concurred in at.this time.. Considerable study is required as to feasibility, cost, and acceptability by County. An alternate is to support Eden Prairie's desire to have a W. 78th street overpass/ underpass crossing County Road 18 to connect with the south end of Washington Avenue. If.this is done, then WashingtonAvenue could serve as a frontage /access route, The secondary recommendations concerning: a. The planning of intersection of Valley View and McCauley; b. Improve safety conditions at hairpin turn; c. 4 -way stop at Gleason and Dewey Hills CI 2. are being referred to Traffic Safety Committee for consideration. Secondary recommendation "c." concerns,construction of-'Aiuundson Road, vacating of Dewey Hill, and cul de sac of Cahill, On the construction of Amundson,...from Cahill t6...Dewey Hill, we recommend securing the one piece of right -of -way needed as soon as possible, and then conduct a public hearing on proposed construction. This.could be constructed in 1977. Staff feels Dewey Hill could then be blocked from new Amundson to Cahill, thus discouraging through traffic. However, the volume of emergency calls received from the area south of 70th, on and in..the vicinity of Cahill, requires re- thinking as to whether Cahill should be cul- de- sac'd. A tabulation from Robert Buresh is attached. The cul -de -sac was planned at the time that land on the west side of Cahill was, proposed for industrial /commercial usage. While the ad hoc grotp does not specifically mention the construction of a new road south of Dewey Hill, west of Cahill, we do not feel that this road, generally called Delaney (rather than a continuation of Amundson) should be built to 78th street until the I -494 access.problem is resolved. Some of the right -of -way required is controlled by Lowry Hill Enterprises, the owners of which are suing the City for the five -story building. At the last Council hearing on this matter, that there many semi - trailers using Valley View now. classification inventory. which, shows - .that..only 37. of of any type. WCH: if Encls. statements were made Attached is a vehicle the traffic ,is.,.trucks Warren C. H; CITY MANAGER A vehicle classification inventory was conducted on Valley View Road at the west side of the hairpin turn. Vehicles were classified into the four categories listed below: A. Cars B. Pick -up trucks, vans (single tire on one rear axle) C. Trucks (dual tires on.rear axle or more than one rear axle) D. Motorcycles Of the 1,700 vehicles per day, the breakdown of vehicles by percentage is a* follows: A. Cars 85% B. Pick -up trucks, vans 11% C. Trucks 3% D. Motorcycles 1% 100% To expand on the types of trucks that comprised 3% of the total traffic, the following was observed: A. The only semi - trailer truck seen was a Global Van Lines truck which remained.on Valley View Road. B. The only other large trucks noted were a few dump trucks involved with home construction. C. The majority of the truck -size vehicles (single rear axle with dual tires) were residential service type; i.e., school buses, Star and Tribune newspaper delivery, Chem Lawn service truck, furniture trucks. This inventory is a result of observations onSeptember 3rd, 7th and 8th 1976,. 1 r M E M O R A N D U M DATE: August 18,,1976 T06. Warren C. Hyde. City Manager FROM: Robert J.

In the spirit of showing unanimity, I signed the letter as I agree with its intent. However, there are certain recom- mendations which, because of my background from serving on the com- mittee or other exposures, I did not think were precise enough in some cases and too precise in others. The individuals who put the letter together had a challenge to meet, especially as they wanted to keep it brief. My purpose in writing you is to elaborate in some points that were not included in the group letter. My comments are referenced to the group letter as follows: l.c. Add the following, and adopt the necessary controls and improvement plans to implement a plan consistent with the concerns expressed above. 2.a. Add the following after link, at this time, but preserve the option to do so at a later date. 2.b. Add the following after load, at this time. 2.c. Substitute the words, Study continuing for "Continue ". The group does not have adequate information to make the present statement. It is my understanding that the loss of park land would be excessive. This was.discussed by the Task Force and in concept would be worthy of study. 2.d.

Be- etting.these ramp develop interim I realize that the recommendation to put the west pair of ramps at West Bush Lake Road is not practical from a safety standpoint because of the short distance from County Road 18 ramps, especially if a clover=leaf design interchange is built. Based on discussions with the traffic consultant, I have concluded that the ramps should be as close as possible to East Bush Lake Road to intercept the industrial traffic as it leaves the area. In any case, the ramps should not be t " Mr. Warren Hyde -2- September 7, 1976 in alignment with Gleason Road as.that will encourage more through traffic to use Gleason. 3oa. Substitute, provide safe turning movements consistent with safe residential speeds for "to prevent, not encourage speed." #.b. Substitute, Providing proper grades and shoulders for "curbs ". Curbs in themselves definitely are not the answer. A shoulder with a margin of safety is what is needed. However, some residents seem to equate curbs with speed control and do not want the corner designed for greater speed. Thank you for consideration of my comments and you may distribute these to the staff or council as you see fit. Sincerely yours, Clement D. Springer CDS :js l' 7- -7. 7 September 1, 1976 Mr. Warren Hyde, City Manager City of Edina 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Mr. Hyde: At the August 2nd meeting of the City Council, Mayor Van Valkenburg voiced a request for constructive suggestions concerning the County 18 - Valley View interchange.. A number of suggestions were made by citizens, and your staff is currently reevaluating the situation and will be responding to. the Council at their September 13th meeting.. A group of residents of Southwest Edina, anxious to seek a solution which would have a broad base of citizen support, met following that meeting to determine the points of mutual agreement and to resolve those points where we did not agree. This group included residents of Gleason Road, Valley View Road and Dewey Hill Road. Each of the participants discussed the results of that meeting with their neighbors and a second meeting was held. As a result of these meetings and neighborhood discussions we arrived at several conclusions.and recommendations. 1. Our major concerns are of.equal importance. a. Provide for and permit good internal traffic flow. b. Strongly discourage through traffic on residential streets. C. Plan for future developments in the area. 2. Primary recommendations of the group are: a. Do not build the link. b. Do not install the cul de sac on Valley View Road. C. Continue McCauley Trail south beyond the Arena to 78th Street. d. Initiate and.actively pursue the necessary action to have the West Bush Lake Road ramps to Interstate 494 built. - __- 3-._ -_ Secondary recommendations -of--the group-are: a. Plan the intersection of Valley View and McCauley Trail to prevent, not encourage speed. b. Improve safety conditions at the hairpin turn by: bl. -Adequate street lighting. b2. Curbs. b3.

Is you indicated, your next staff meeting is scheduled for September 8th and you suggested we address this letter to you. We request the oppartunity to discuss these recommendations with you and your staff prior to s_ =eet in. n As additlonal Snout for your consideration, the residents of the critical area of alle -y `'S,ew v- -tween 18 and the hairpin turn were asked their opinion, They . naturally would prefer to retain the cul de sac with no link. However they :3udged by 13:tc-3. -to leave Valley View open if the cul de sac were to result the link. They also strongly favored continuing .'McCauley r ^il._.south to 78th Street. _ Listed-below are the names" of those persons who have participated in these _. heetings together with the names of persons whose.c_ounsel we sought and who, - after reading the letter, have asked to have their-names included.

I grew up in this area and have now been living in the new section of Parkwood Knolls for the last two years. Recently it has come to my attention that a portion of Dover Blvd, has suddenly become a one way street between Biscayne Blvd, and Parkwood Lane. I assume the object of this was to cut down some of the incoming traffic from County Road 18 into the Parkwood Knolls area. v.9 •0o ,/ga. I find it somewhat hard to believe that such a step like this would be taken without the consideration of the neighborhood and especially those streets running parallel to Dover. To my knowledge there is no one way street in the Parkwood Knoll area. In reality I do not recollect a one way street in Edina. It is easy for one to lose trust in the decision making of the Village Council or whoever it is who makes decisions when the involved parties in the neighborhood are not informed of such decisions. Likewise, this obviously does not seem to be a decision well thought out when it would seem obvious that a first step would be to have a stop sign at the corner of Dover and Parkwood Lane. Indeed if the decision to make this a one way street remains one must ask the council why the families on Parkwood Lane and FieldUhy do not have consideration. Th is street, FieldWy, which runs parallel to Dover contains a hill upon which many families with numerous children live. Obviously a significant increase in traffic coming over a blind hill like this will mean significant risk of injury to these children. To summarize, I find myself one way street. I do believe particular decision does not with the knowledge of those Sincerely yours, Edward C. Maeder, Jr., M.D. ld 1 very disturbed at this that one must control seem well thought out in the neighborhood. recent decision to make Dover a the traffic on Dover, however, this and indeed is a decision not made THE ST.

ADOPTED this 13th day of September, 1976. August 31, 1976 Edina City Council City Hall 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota 55424 Dear Members of the Council: I am writing to request inquiry into our problem and compensation from the city for an expense solely and directly related to the excessive water pressure at our residence, 6621 Paiute Pass. While I am certain that too much pressure is neither a routine problem nor what I suggest a routine request. I believe this complaint is valid and deserves your attention. The system's very strong water pressure at this location requires instal- lation of a pressure- reducing valve in order to protect plumbing and appliances from damage and premature replacement. I ask that this expense be defrayed by the city. Since the problem originates in the city's system, I feel the obligation is Edina's and not that of the home owner or home builder. The home owner's obligation starts at his lot line, but this problem lies beneath the streets. It is clearly not an internal but an external problem. It might be argued that this problem is not new, that it is shared by our neighbors in the community; however, that does not change the problem or its source. Such an argument is no more valid in this instance than in the case of pollution whatever its source. I am forced to put in a pressure- reducing valve no matter what your decision. I hope, however, that you will consider my complaint and agree to reimburse my expenses. I thank you and hope you will feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss the matter: by phone: 941 -6622 (home) 540 -2618 (office) Correspondence - 6621 Paiute Pass Sincerely, Z �k� T.

FIRST "E. 55379 'August 30, 1976 FROM: Mayor Walt Harbeck SUBJECT: Position on the Metropolitan Council by Resolution No. 953, City of Shakopee By resolution adopted by the City Council of Shakopee, August 3, 1976, we are of the opinion that the Metropolitan Council in the seven county area has over stepped its bounds by moving to the policy making position and not the advisory capacity for which it was set up to do. The City of Lino Lakes proposed these questions of which I wish to reiterate to you. 1. How much has the Metro Council aided you? 2. What has the multitude of Metro Council generated studies cost you? 3. What have these studies provided you? 4. Has the Metro Council helped or hampered your local decision making process? To you that will be regulated by regional government, I ask you to ask yourself these same questions. The most basic and responsive government in the United States is and always has been the local units of government. Elimination of these forms of government, which has been proposed by the advocates of Metro Council and regional government, and we have either a DICTATORSHIP or COMMUNISM. The choice is ours, act now to curb these forms of government by_ •eturning them to the advisory capacity of which they were designed �'or or total DESTRUCTION of them and put these responsibilities back tizere they belong. This can only be accomplished through our state Senators and Representatives by making our wishes known to them in this legislative session. Do not procrastinate, ACT NOW. Telephone, letters, and resolu- tions are our only hope to this chaotic situation.
