INTRODUCTION: See attached staff report. Comments received by the Commission will be included in the staff report provided to City Council at their January 3 regular meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Description Traffic Safety Report of November 29, 2022 December 15, 2022 Transportation Commission Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator Traffic Safety Report of November 29, 2022 Information / Background: The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on November 29. The Traffic Safety Coordinator, City Engineer, Streets Public Service Worker, Transportation Planner, Public Works Director and Assistant City Planner were in attendance for this meeting. The Police Sergeant was not able to attend but were informed of the decisions and had no objections to the recommendations. On each of the items, persons involved have been contacted and the staff recommendation has been discussed with them. They were informed that if they disagree with the recommendation or have additional facts to present, they can submit correspondence to the Transportation Commission and/or to City Council prior to the January 3 regular meeting. Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends action A1. Request to improve crossing visibility at Southview Ln and Sherwood Ave • Concerned for crossing visibility at school. • Crosswalk connects to east side of Sherwood. • Parking allowed west of crosswalk. • Requesting removing 1-2 parking spaces west of south pedestrian ramp. • Request to improve crosswalk treatment – follows current warrant. • 2021 AADT 4815. • No reported crashes at intersection. • ETC advised further review citing a state statute restricting parking adjacent to crosswalks. Staff recommends installing an additional sign to restrict parking 20’ west of crosswalk. Staff will remove parking lane striping within this segment in 2023. Southview Ln facing east at Sherwood Ave STAFF REPORT Page 2 A2. Request to add a parking restriction sign along Arcadia Ave • Parking is restricted on entire east side of Arcadia. • Police have noticed Hilltop customers parking on east side of Arcadia. • Signs range from 220-250’ apart. • Sign located directly east of Gus Young Ln is blocked by vegetation. Staff recommends clearing vegetation blocking signs in the area and installing an additional parking restriction sign directly north of the Hilltop driveway to clarify the restrictions. Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends no action B1. Request for wayfinding signs for Meetinghouse Church (6200 Colonial Way) • Meetinghouse Church (formerly Colonial Church) requested directional signage at Colonial Way/Olinger Blvd and Colonial Way/Tracy Ave. • Meetinghouse Church abuts Olinger Blvd and Colonial Way. Staff recommends no action as the City does not provide directional signage for private properties. The church was notified directional signage is permitted on private property but is restricted to four square feet per sign. B2. Review use of GreenStep City signage at entrance points • Sustainability Division requested installation of signs to promote the City’s participation in this recognition program. • Each sign is 2’ x 2’. • Signs can be purchased through MnDOT and installed along highways, county roads, or local streets. Staff recommends no action as the City does not install signage for other recognition programs (Bike-Friendly Community, Tree City USA, etc.). Staff recommends promoting Edina’s participation in this program through other means. Meetinghouse Church sign along Olinger Blvd Arcadia Ave GreenStep City sign STAFF REPORT Page 3 B3. Request for signage improvements for all-way stop at W 42nd St at Oakdale Ave/Monterey Ave • Neighbors near intersection witness eastbound vehicles failing to stop at Oakdale. • Requesting ways to raise stop sign awareness i. Stop bar- Studies show only provide benefit when sight lines impacted from minor street. ii. Red sign-post strip- MnDOT uses only in rural approaches to 2-lane highways. iii. Added crosswalk- does not meet warrants for controlled or uncontrolled intersections. • W 42nd ADT is 1,700. • Oakdale/Monterey are offset by 55’. • Sidewalk on north side of W 42nd. • No crashes reported at intersection in last 10 years. Staff recommends no action. W 42nd St will be narrowed to 27’ as part of street reconstruction in 2023. Police will consider additional enforcement in this area. Section C: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends further study C1. Review school zone designation on W 54th St for Agamim Classical Academy (5300 France Ave) • School property abuts France Ave, 54th St. • Access to school parking lot is off 54th St. • 54th St speed limit is 25 mph. • State statute definition of school speed zone: "school zone" means that section of a street or highway which abuts the grounds of a school where children have access to the street or highway from the school property or where an established school crossing is located provided the school advance sign…is in place. Staff recommends studying pedestrian crossings near the school in spring 2023 to determine if marked crossing and/or school speed zone is warranted.

To:Transportation Commission Item Type: Report and Recommendation From:Andrew Scipioni, Transportation Planner Item Activity: Subject:Draft PACS Fund Increase Proposal Action CITY OF EDINA 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 www.edinamn.gov ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve Commission report on recommendation to increase funding for the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund. INTRODUCTION: See attached report. ATTACHMENTS: Description Draft PACS Fund Increase Proposal City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Transportation Commission Date: December 15, 2022 To: Mayor and City Council Cc: Andrew Scipioni, Transportation Planner From: Transportation Commission Subject: Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety Fund Increase Proposal Initiative Review and recommend changes to the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund policy. Recommendation The recommendation for consideration will raise the monthly fees for all four land use types though reduce the overall burden on residential property owners via larger fee increases for commercial property owners. The annual contribution breakdown between residential and commercial property owners will change from 63 percent and 37 percent to 48 percent and 52 percent, respectively. The proposed change will double the annual PACS Fund revenue and complete Edina’s planned infrastructure improvements for people walking, rolling, bicycling, and accessing transit from over 44 years to about 21 years. If there is no interest in raising the fees that fund these critical projects, it has been demonstrated that with greater population growth the revenue can organically rise as the number of utility meters correspondingly increase. Since 2013, the Fund’s revenue has increased from about $1 million to 1.2 million as of 2021 purely due to this growth. The more residences and commercial buildings constructed in Edina; the more revenue will flow into the PACS fund absent of a fee increase on existing property owners. In essence, higher density and population growth will equate to more funding though it is important to note that the one percent growth far lags inflation, rising materials and labor costs, and the ever-expanding needs for high quality infrastructure to accommodate residents, workers, and visitors in Edina. Table 1: PACS Fund Increase Recommendation Current Proposed Residential Monthly $1.62 $2.70 Annual $19.44 $32.40 Commercial A Monthly $2.74 $8.22 Annual $32.88 $98.64 Commercial B Monthly $7.66 $22.98 Annual $91.92 $275.76 Commercial C Monthly $32.66 $97.98 Annual $391.92 $1,175.76 Total Annual PACS Fund $1.21 M $2.62 M Years to Complete Ped/Bike Master Plan 44 21 Page 2 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Figure 1: Proposed Breakdown by Land Use for Recommendation Background The PACS Fund is a critical funding source for the City of Edina to implement multimodal infrastructure including, but not limited to, sidewalks, shared-use paths, and enhanced crosswalks. Approved in December 2012, the Fund has constructed nearly $8.6 million worth of projects (see breakdown below) for the transportation network’s most vulnerable users: people walking, rolling, bicycling, and access transit. 15 miles of sidewalk 4.1 miles of bicycle infrastructure 2 miles of shared use paths (trails) 29 crossing improvements The PACS Fund is collected via a monthly fee charged per utility meter in the city and is applied by either a residential or tiered commercial rate. Currently, residents pay about $20 per year into the fund which equates to approximately one nickel (five cents) per day. Monthly Fee Annual Total Residential $1.62 $19.44 Commercial A $2.74 $32.88 Commercial B $7.66 $91.92 Commercial C $32.66 $391.92 Of note, the PACS Fund was created before Edina’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan (2018) and therefore was organized without the foresight to implement all the critical projects identified by the plan which included well over 100 miles of sidewalk, bikeways, and shared-use paths. As of 2022, the following totals remain which under current funding levels will take about 44 years to complete. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Current ProposedPercent of Total Fund Contribution per Land UseResidential Commercial A Commercial B Commercial C Page 3 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 29.7 miles of sidewalk 44.6 miles of bicycle infrastructure 19.9 miles of shared use paths (trails) Several intersection and crossing projects The PACS Fund was also created before the city’s Climate Action Plan of which one of the top climate actions is TL 1-2: Accelerate building on-street and off-street protected bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, and other walking infrastructure in high-need areas and fill connectivity gaps as identified in the City's Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan. The pace of buildout is unacceptable due to the urgency of climate change. Nearly half a century is too long to build out the multimodal infrastructure that will help the city achieve one of its many climate goals including a reduction in vehicle miles traveled and increased transit use. The only way Edina can increase the speed of project construction and achieve its transportation- specific climate goals is to better fund those investments via a key local tool which is the PACS Fund. Since 2013, there have been 122 crashes total (one fatal and 11 serious injury crashes) in Edina involving a person walking, rolling, or bicycling. The Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) movement, embraced by local, county, and state officials across Minnesota can only be successful through critical infrastructure improvements to protect the transportation network’s most vulnerable users. Creating spaces for walking, rolling, and bicycling that people of all ages and abilities can safely enjoy not only improves Edina’s quality of life and prosperity but is supported by the 85 percent of residents that have used a trail at least once in the last year per the City’s biannual resident survey. Furthermore, 11 percent of residents believe that traffic and infrastructure are the City’s most serious issue of which investments in active transportation infrastructure can improve by potentially reducing congestion and enhancing the transportation network. Resident support for active transportation is clear due to the 43 percent who like living in Edina because of the convenient location, accessibility, and walkability while 12 percent do so because of the trails, parks, and recreational space. Investments in this infrastructure has clearly paid off with resident perception regarding the ease of walking (60% to 73%) and biking (47% to 64%) increasing between 2015 and 2021. The U.S. Census’ American Community Survey (2019) data for the City of Edina further illustrates the need to continue investing in these projects due to those that are unable to, or do not have access to, a personal vehicle, as well as those that commute by other modes beyond a private vehicle. - 9% of the population has a disability - 6% of households do not own a personal vehicle - 18% walk, bike, use public transportation, or work from home Furthermore, for every $1 invested in active transportation, $24 is averted medical costs1 and on average property values increase by up to ten times.2 And for every $1 million spent on active transportation projects about eight to 12 jobs are created as compared to less than eight by a road project only.3 1 Smart Growth America (2015) Safer Streets, Stronger Economies: Complete Streets Project Outcomes from Across the Country.

Amhert, MA: Political Economic Research Institute Page 4 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Appendix An analysis of opportunities to raise the fee by different percentage points was completed to understand the impact such increases would have on both completing the master plan as well as increasing funding for projects broadly desired and supported by the residents of Edina. The forecast analysis included two scenarios: 1) a one- time increase of all four-tiered rates or 2) maintain the existing residential rate and increase only the three commercial rates. A hybrid of the two is the recommendation of this study. Scenario 1: One-Time Increase of All Rates The following table breaks down the potential new monthly rates per meter user, their annual cost, and the amount that would be sent to the PACS Fund.

Transportation Commissioner Education All Users and All Modes Principles: • Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and the disabled. 1.Improve mobility for residents, visitors and businesses with a balanced system of transportation alternatives for transit users, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. 2.Implement a fully multi-modal transportation system that supports the land use vision and future land use plan for managing and shaping future growth. Fourteen goals developed for this chapter, which follow, focus on developing a multi-modal transportation system that is conveniently accessible to all users. The goals recognize and seek to reverse the advantage that automobile travel has had over transit and non-motorized modes; thus enabling residents and visitors to travel without increasing greenhouse gas emissions, personal costs, and costs to society. Comprehensive Plan 2021 –Transportation Chapter Edina is a place where ... Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible; Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike; Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity; Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity… Living Streets Vision Transportation Commissioner Education Transportation Commissioner Education OR A Few Final thoughts It takes 3-5 years to fully assimilate all of the information, to begin to see patterns or ongoing issues more deeply.
