Bike Friendly City Award —Tom Randall is spearheading the application. He has started to gather information and will be updating the group at future meetings. 7. Priorities —An extensive discussion was made of where to focus the group's efforts. Each member shared their priorities and areas of interest. It was agree that the October meeting will be devoted to identifying the top three priorities for the next year. October 10, 2013 Meeting Notes Present: Brad Schaeppi, Don Eyberg, Tom Randall, Rob Erickson, Sally Dunn, Peter Kelley, Lori Richman, Ellen Jones Absent: Marty Mathis, Larry Olson Guest(s): Mark Nolan, City of Edina; Carl Sledgister Recorded by: Ellen Jones I. Meeting called to order at 7:30 p.m. II. Meeting agenda was approved. III. Action items a. BETF bylaws—Members discussed a change in the mission statement and expectations for members to participate on one or more subcommittee and to attend meetings. A motion was made to approve the bylaws as amended. Motion passed unanimously. b. BETF membership—Members discussed a draft membership roster and member terms. In order to standardize terms of membership and maintain continuity, members were assigned a one, two, or three year term (to prevent all members from rolling off in the same year). At the end of the term, a member may request reappointment to a standard term, which is three years. There are currently four openings. Jennifer will revise the membership application and send out a press release. A motion was 1 made to adopt the membership roster and member terms. Motion passed unanimously. c. Elect vice-chair—A motion was made to elect Lori Richman as Vice Chair. Motion passed unanimously. d. Park Board involvement in BETF—Ellen Jones resigned her membership in BETF as Park Board representative. She will contact the Park Board Chair to seek a replacement. If no member of the Park Board is able to fulfill membership requirements, then the BETF is willing to accept a Park Board representative as a liaison with the goal of communicating interrelated topics to both groups. If no one on the Park Board is able to be a liaison, Ellen is willing to be the liaison and attend regular meetings whenever she can. e. Resignation—Peter announced that Kirk Johnson has resigned, but will continue to be involved as his other obligations permit. IV. Discussion items a. BETF status—Members discussed three options: 1) become a working group of the ETC; 2) be advisory to the Transportation Planner (similar to the City Manager's Communications Advisory Committee, which meets at the request of the City Manager to discuss a specific topic); or 3) continue as we are, but with the understanding that the BETF is an independent organization not under the City's umbrella. Mark Nolan would serve as staff liaison to our group, similar to how a Parks Department staff member serves as a liaison to youth sports associations. Discussion included concerns about liability and the need to get clarity from the City Council about how the Council views our status. Members discussed becoming a working group of the ETC and, by consensus, determined that we are not interested in that option. Members discussed becoming an ad hoc advisory group to staff and decided that we are not interested in that option. Mark Nolan will seek further information from Manager Neal, especially as it relates to liability, and get back to us. Lori will ask other 2 bike organizations how they handle insurance and how they are organized. The QBP mini summit on November 13 will be a good time to connect with these other groups. b. BETF focus for 2013/2014—A motion was made to adopt the proposed four focus areas for the current year (to October 2014): Complete the Bicycle Friendly Community application (Tom, Larry, Sally); Active Routes To School (Rob, Larry, Brad, Jennifer [to start]); Infrastructure Improvements (Jennifer, Brad, Peter); and Education and Outreach (Lori, Don, Peter). Subcommittees are also open to community members. Subcommittees should develop a purpose statement, general scope of work and specific goals and bring these to our next meeting. The motion to adopt these focus areas and create subcommittees was approved unanimously. c. W. 54th Street design scenarios—Members were encouraged to fill out the survey on design scenarios ASAP. Sally said that she bikes W. 541h regularly and that the east section is wide enough to accommodate parking and still provide enough room for cyclists. Jennifer said ETC will discuss the design options at their meeting on October 17. d. 9MCRT master plan—Members were encouraged to submit comments on the plan ASAP. Comments are due October 17. V. Updates a. ETC—No news. b. Activities of other bicycle advocacy groups c. Upcoming meetings or events I Bikeable Community Workshop—October 23, 9:00 am. — 2:30 p.m., Edina Public Works ii. QBP mini summit—November 13. Summit will start at 4:00 p.m. with presentation/discussion on the Hennepin County bike plan update, followed by meeting between members of bike advocacy groups from Bloomington, Richfield and Edina. 3 VI. Our next meeting — November 14 (10 min.) a. Hennepin County Bike Plan Update—Sierra Saunders from Community Design Group will share information and seek input on the Hennepin County bike plan update. Members discussed inviting members of the ETC, Planning and Park Boards to this meeting. Mark will look into sending out invites. A larger room—possibly Council Chambers—will be needed. b. Joint meeting with ETC at 6:30—Members discussed holding a joint meeting with the ETC and decided to wait until December.

Action El Discussion El Information El Action Requested: Review and recommend Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) Report of Wednesday, November 6, 2013, be forwarded to City Council for approval. Information / Background: It is not anticipated that residents will be in attendance at the meeting regarding any of the attached issues. An overview of the comments from the Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) will be included in the staff report provided to Council for their December 16, 2013, meeting. Attachments: Traffic Safety Committee Report for November 6, 2013. G:\ Engineering \Infrastructure \Streets\Traffic \Traffic Safety Committee\ Staff Review Summaries\ 13 TSAC & Min \ 11-06-13 Cover.docx City of Edina 4801 W. 50,11St. Edina, MN 55424 TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT Wednesday, November 6, 2013 The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on November 6. The Director of Engineering, Public Works Director, Transportation Planner, Police Traffic Supervisor and Sign Coordinator were in attendance for this meeting. From these reviews, the recommendations below are provided. On each of the items, persons involved have been contacted and 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 be included on the October 24 Edina Transportation Commission and the November 19 City Council agenda. SECTION A: Requests on which the Committee recommends approval: Al. Request for traffic control or a painted crosswalk at the intersection of Creek Valley Road and Nordic Circle. This request is from a resident who lives at the intersection. The req uestor states that there is a high concentration of children during soccer games who are in danger due to the uncontrolled intersection. Requestor stated that vehicles travel through the intersection too fast and there is confusion of right-of-way. A request to look into these issues at this location was made in March of 2012. Since the street was being reconstructed at the time, it was decided to delay action until construction was completed. Map: Creek Valley Road & Nordic Circle There is no relevant history of traffic requests in this area. There are no reported crashes at this intersection. A map and photos are provided below. The criterion for placement of crosswalks and type of control is outlined within the City of Edina Local Traffic Control list. It states: Traffic Safety Committee Report 1 November 6, 2013 tip Photo: Creek Valley Road and Nordic Circle Looking northeast anD , It „Qv' em, anItg ' gur arto Marked Pedestrian Crosswalk • Marked crosswalks are placed at locations that are unusually hazardous or at locations not readily apparent as having pedestrian movement. • Marked crosswalks will only be placed in an area that has in excess of 20 pedestrians crossing for a minimum of two hours during any eight hour period. • Marking for crosswalks will be established by measuring the "Vehicle Gap Time". This is the total number of gaps between vehicular traffic recorded during the average five minute period in the peak hour. Criteria for markings are: • More than five gaps — pavement marking and signage only. • Four to five gaps — add activated pedestal mounted flasher. • Less than three gaps — add activated overhead mounted flasher Counts of pedestrians were taken at the intersection. A maximum total of 34 were recorded walking through the north (Nordic Circle) leg of the intersection within a two-hour period. 33 gaps (a "gap" is defined as time between vehicles that allows a pedestrian to safely cross the street) were counted in the average five-minute period during the peak hour of 4:15-5:15pm. This is far above the five-gap threshold for activated mounted flashers. Staff recommends approval of a pedestrian crosswalk, pending discussion with homeowner about a concrete safe haven being located on the NE corner of the intersection. A2. Request to move Bike Route sign at Valley View Road and Wooddale Avenue in order to clear sightlines to monument sign. This request comes from an employee of a business located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Valley View Road and Wooddale Avenue. Req uestor states that the small Bike Route sign impedes sightlines to the business' monument signage. Map: Valley View Road and Wooddale Avenue Traffic Safety Committee Report 2 November 6, 2013 Requestor would like the sign moved "a few feet" north to clear views to the sign from both the west and north. Staff recommends approval to move bike route sign northeast, pending the location of utilities. Photo: Southeast corner of Valley View Road and Wooddale Avenue looking southeast SECTION B: Requests on which the Committee recommends denial: Bl. Request to remove parking restrictions on the east side of Antrim Road, south of W 69th Street. This request comes from a resident who lives on the 6900 block of Antrim Road. Requestor states that it is inconvenient — and a safety issue — that no parking is allowed on his (east) side of the street. No parking was installed when the bike lanes were striped in 2012. Parking is allowed on the west side of Antrim Rd. Requestor also believes that heavy "18-wheeler" trucks are using Antrim and that this should be prohibited. A map and picture are provided above and below. In 2012 council directed staff to install Map: 6900 block of Antrim Road more bike lanes according to the comprehensive plan. The existing road width cannot accommodate two lanes of traffic, two bike lanes, and parking on both sides of the street. After discussion, staff recommends denying the request for removal of parking restrictions. Traffic Safety Committee Report 3 November 6, 2013 SECTION C: Requests that are deferred to a later date: Cl. Request for a crosswalk and "pork chop" island at Wilson Lane and Eden Avenue. The request originated with a motorist who stated that the double yellow lane markings on the south leg of the intersection "go too far." Staff discussed this and recommended that, due to the pedestrian crossing distance and large radius at this location, a crosswalk be striped on the south leg of the intersection, along with a "pork chop" island to delineate right-turning motions. See map at right. Staff recommends postponing until spring 2014 to allow for further review and analysis. Map: Wilson Lane and Eden Avenue — proposed crosswalk SECTION D: Other traffic safety-related issues handled. Dl. Call from a resident stating that vehicles are parking on the "stub street" of Creek Valley Rd east of Nordic Dr. Caller said there is no parking on that street and vehicles should not be there. Call was returned, and the requestor was told that parking is allowed except for in front of No Parking signs at end of street, near trail to park. D2. Email from a resident stating that sightlines are obstructed at the intersection of 66th St and Valley View Rd. Edina Police Department (EPD) visited the site and determined that there was no clear zone violation or obstructed sight lines at the intersection. Email was sent to resident stating this. D3. Requestor states that vehicles are speeding on Trillium Lane near Lantana Ln. EPD was notified and will take speed counts on Trillium Lane. D4. Call from a resident on Heather Lane, stating that the intersection of Heather and Vernon Ave is dark and unsafe for pedestrians as vehicles turn off of Vernon. Voicemail was left informing of the petition process, and an email was sent with the link to the petition web page. Traffic Safety Committee Report 4 November 6, 2013 D5. Call from a resident near the intersection of Malibu Dr and Park Terrace, stating that guests are receiving parking tickets for parking too close to stop signs (3-way stop). Requestor would like "no parking within 30 feet of stop sign) signs posted. Call was returned, telling resident that this is not standard City practice as this is a state law. D6. Motorist states that there is a wide white painted strip located in the right-hand, southbound lane on France Avenue in the north leg of its intersection with 66th Street. France Ave is a County road, thus Hennepin County was contacted and stated that they will notify their maintenance department to remove the stripe. D7. Phone call from a resident stating that traffic from eastbound Highway 62 is exiting the highway at Gleason and heading straight back onto the onramp to eastbound Highway 62. Resident stated that the resulting high level of congestion makes it unsafe for pedestrians and would like the Edina Police Department to issue citations. Call was returned to the resident stating that this action is not illegal. Traffic Safety Committee Report 5 November 6, 2013 REPORT / RECOMMENDATION Agenda Item #: VI. D. To: Edina Transportation Commission From: Mark K. Nolan, AICP, Transportation Planner Date: November 21, 2013 Subject: Southwest LRT Freight Rail Re-Route: The "Southern Arm" Action Discussion Information El 121 Action Requested: Discuss potential issues regarding the "Southern Arm" alternative of the Southwest LRT freight rail re- route options and potential impacts to Edina, and make recommendations for City Council consideration if necessary. Information / Background: Please recall that at the October 24 ETC meeting the group Safety in the Park gave a presentation regarding issues surrounding the Southwest LRT and potential freight rail re-route options. While their presentation focused on future impacts to St. Louis Park, they also discussed the planned "southern arm," which runs on MN&S track through Edina (east of Highway 100). Safety in the Park discussed how the possibility exists for increased freight traffic with this option, potentially impacting Edina neighborhoods.

Lado CD@Rt h2 nen 22-12m2e The SLP City Council favors the southern arm because it eliminates the switching wye and because it removes several light industrial buildings making way for more dense economic development and a more southerly Louisiana LRT station. The cost of the southern arm is estimated by the Met Council to be $30M. wwwsdetyinthepark.com UN@ M. Lodz Pan° Wet Ran Rg=Rciaite In combination with the southern arm, a "swap" is also planned. As LRT approaches St. Louis Park from the west, the LRT track will be "collocated" with freight rail. LRT will be on the north side, freight on the south. The plan is to "swap" those two, placing LRT on the south and freight on the north. Doing so is favored by SLP and Hopkins because more land is available on the south side of the tracks creating more economic development space and eliminating the need for LRT users to cross the freight track to get to LRT. wwwseetyinaleparlccom 11/14/2013 3 11/14/2013 wwwsdetyinthepark.com wwmseetyinthepark.com Uhe lloRdo PaRi F02102 Ran ne-RmIte 7'he M. LcAdo NT 3 FrrerwM RaH Re-Rcione The combination of the Swap and the Southern Arm is estimated by the Met Council to cost $60M. Only the SLP re-route (in the most recent plan) REQUIRES these elements because building the northerly arm of the Brunswick Central plan would wipe out the Switching Wye and the railroad demands some way to change direction. Therefore, the actual cost of the Brunswick Central is $260M, not just $200M. Collocation does not require southern arm. 4 11/14/2013 wwwsdetyinthepariccom Uhe M. kcxdo Pacf[ Fffdsht laffl He-Route While SitP's main goal is to stop an SLP re-route, we are also concerned about the Southern Arm. Depending on market conditions, the Southern Arm will make it possible for long, heavy freight trains to cross several St. Louis Park roads, including Excelsior Blvd, at grade creating safety issues. It is, again, modifying a track that was never built for such purposes into a mainline. This should concern Edina as well since the MN&S travels past churches, homes, and more in close proximity. The St lags Park g WO n®-Rmotv How does this effect Edina? If market conditions are favorable, it could mean large increases in freight headed to the Minnesota River Docks. Most importantly, once this is built, there is no turning back. Federal law protects rail lines in perpetuity. wmcseetyinthemic.com • Edina Cahill Edina Hennepin „.

Background Information: Morningside B I. At a November 12, 2013 Neighborhood Sidewalk Meeting, residents commented on traffic volume and speed issues along 42nd Street specifically west of Grimes. Staff will continue to monitor traffic volume and speed to determine if traffic calming measures are warranted as part of a future street reconstruction project for that neighborhood. In order to address the pedestrian safety issue along 42nd Street in 2014, staff is recommending the installation of a 5-ft concrete sidewalk w/ a 5-ft boulevard along the north side of 42nd Street to the city limits. The 5-ft boulevard would vary to protect existing trees. The north side of 42nd Street was selected as the preferred location based on the amount of available right-of-way and the number of potential conflicts compared to the south side. The north side of 42" Street has approximately 12-feet of right-of-way whereas the south side has approximately 6-feet. Installation of a boulevard style sidewalk would not be possible along the south side while preserving the existing concrete curb and gutter. 2.

In fact, our mission statement states that we will provide "efficient, effective resource management" and we aim to provide the highest and best possible quality service. The sidewalk snowplow route that would have this section of sidewalk added has a 55" v-plow and blower attachment. We have indicated that a 5 foot sidewalk is ideal for our equipment to pass and minimize damage to yards. The narrower the sidewalk: 1)the more damage there is to adjacent yards, 2) the more complaints that we get due to front yard damage and 3) the slower we have to travel which increases the amount of time to completely remove the snow. If it were up to the Public Works Department we would like the design to include at least a 5 foot sidewalk and a 6-8 foot grassy boulevard area for snow storage. The boulevard allows separation of the road plowing and the sidewalk plowing activities. I understand that the additional one foot width that is proposed in the design is a compromise and it will at least assist us in staying away from the lawn and provided a narrow area for a small windrow of snow. As you know we can maintain anything if given the right tools and the appropriate amount of manpower. No disrespect intended but we could build a 3 foot sidewalk and hand shovel each sidewalk if we had the right amount of manpower. In another example, there is a smaller piece of equipment (52") at 50th and France that maintains a narrower sidewalk. In that instance, the business owners pay to have an employee stationed down there full time to take care of the issues that come up. That employee shovels, sweeps and plows their sidewalks. They pay for the equipment, they pay for the time and they pay for the materials to increase to that level of service. The current six foot design on 54th, whereas not ideal, is acceptable.

Below is text pulled from a letter we received from a resident concerning minimums sidewalk widths. From a public works maintenance standpoint, can you clarify adequate sidewalk widths for maintenance with the type of equipment the City currently operates? Thanks for your time in clarifying this matter, Chad Text from Resident Letter 5. According to the city's Department of Public Works, the city's sidewalk sweepers sweep a 52" path (4'-4"). This is far less than the 72" (6'-0") Mr. Houle claimed at the 10/24 Transportation Commission meeting, and actually less than a typical 5' wide sidewalk. So, it isn't a factor in determining sidewalk width. Wooddale Avenue, which is maintained by the city, is currently 5' wide and has been that way since I've lived here (summer of 2002) and I haven't been aware of any problems with snow removal. Why are we being told 5' is not wide enough?

Action Discussion Information X Action Requested: Resolution of support for concept plan, provide input on additional design considerations. Information / Background: Phase 4 of the Edina Promenade includes pedestrian, water and public art features from Hazelton Rd. to just north of the Centennial Lakes/Promenade connection. This capital improvement plan (CIP) item (HRA- I I - 002) coordinates with the new trail connection at 7171 France and completes the promenade between Hazelton Rd. and York Ave. There are two separate reports attached: The report titled "Edina Promenade Phase 4 - Conceptual Plan Outline and Narrative" authored by URS Corporation describes the pedestrian and bike trails, landscaping and irrigation, public lighting, public art and surface water feature. Taken together, these features provide the following services: parks/public open space, bike and pedestrian transportation and leisure, arts and cultural expression, and aesthetic public space. Development of these concepts followed the guiding vision in the 2007 Edina Promenade Urban Design Plan. The purpose of this fourth phase of the Promenade is to complete an aesthetically pleasing pond and stream feature interwoven with an existing bike and permanent pedestrian path with intermixed art nodes between Centennial Lakes and Hazelton road. The report titled "Edina Centennial Lakes Runoff Volume Reduction Plan" authored by Barr Engineering describes the underground stormwater infiltration feature. This feature provides the stormwater management for the site, and enhances flood protection and clean water services of the Centennial Lakes stormwater management system. The purpose of the underground regional infiltration system is to provide clean surface waters, flood protection, and cost-effectively generate stormwater credits for future redevelopment. Development of this concept followed the policy described in the Comprehensive Water :ity of Edina - 4801 W. 50th St. Edina, MN 55424 Resources Management Plan. This report includes four potential options, of which the preferred option is B/D. A collaborative approach to inform, engage and develop feedback from City boards and commissions on these plans included meetings with the Parks Board, Transportation Commission, Energy and Environment, and Arts and Culture Commissions. This agenda item was intended to be on the October meeting of the ETC, but was inadvertently missed. The City also engaged the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Board (9MCWD) as a project partner through a cooperative agreement, and has coordinated review of design and schedules with the nearby Byerly's development. Concerns and opportunities expressed by these project stakeholders were used to inform the concept, and will help guide the design process. A few examples of this valuable input include: From the Parks Board, the need to reduce and plan for the ongoing maintenance expense of the new feature; from the Arts and Culture Commission, the need to integrate and plan the relocation of the "Three Trees" installation; and from the Energy and Environment Commission, the apparent conflict between expanding water system sustainability with a tradeoff of increased energy use. The project is a unique convergence of a variety of City goals and enhances the following service levels: Bike and pedestrian transportation, parks and public spaces, flood protection and clean water, and arts and culture in the public realm. The two separate parts of the promenade phase 4 concepts serve different purposes, but the combination of surficial and underground water, parks, trails, landscaping and stormwater into a single project produces a variety of efficiencies. The parts share: construction and contracting effort, construction and operation of a single pump station, efficient use of public space, reduction in irrigation water demand, groundwater recharge, and development of stornnwater credits for future park redevelopment. Next Steps: This review by the transportation commission follows a November 19 consideration by City Council/Edina HRA and November 20 consideration by the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Board. If the City Council/Edina HRA and Nine Mile Creek Board approve the project, the proposed schedule would have the project designed from December to March, bid and contract award in May, and constructed from June-October. This schedule could be adjusted to coordinate work with the Byerly's / 7171 France apartment buildings project if cost savings or site access issues present themselves during the design.

The proposed project incorporates a water feature into the central segment of the Promenade as envisioned in the 2007 Masterplan. The background information for the Promenade in general and the water feature can be found in the "Edina Promenade, Urban Design Plan", which was prepared by URS in 2007.

The overall concept for Centennial Lakes was to create a 'necklace' of special features or spaces that ring the lakes. For the Promenade, which is a very linear and narrow corridor and which was programmed to include a walking path and a bike trail that is part of the Three Rivers Regional Trail, the concept was to create a series of small plazas or spaces that would incorporate public art as the main features and attractions. The plan also called for a major central water feature that would add extra interest in the middle of the Promenade corridor and that would provide a thematic link or connection to Centennial Lakes. The water feature is a key element for the Promenade, since water, especially fountains and a flowing stream, will add motion and liveliness to the Promenade environment. The redevelopment of the Byerly's parcel is the catalyst that allows us to incorporate this water feature into the Promenade. URS fb EDINA PROMENADE Design Approach The key constraint was the narrowness of the Promenade corridor. This was overcome by weaving the two paths in such a fashion as to create viable small plazas for public art between the paths. The opportunity area is the central segment of the corridor where the space to create a larger water feature results from the adjacent redevelopment and associated easement. This segment of the Promenade naturally slopes down to the south which provides the opportunity to create a flowing stream. The original concept envisioned a sizable water feature with a number of water-related attractions. Development plans for the area have resulted in less area than anticipated being available for the special water feature. However, it is still large enough to provide room for the essential design elements, such as a small pond, the flowing stream, and a few special water- related features. EDINA PROMENADE PHASE 4 Phase 4 Project Elements: • Will be integrated with a Water Quality Infiltration Project • Will include an easement for the trail and water feature • Replaces the temporary pedestrian path with a permanent colored concrete trail • Provides swinging benches and other seating at key locations for enjoyment of features • Incorporates three water features including a plaza at the north end where the water will enter the corridor, a central pond which will be the focal point and provide water treatment, and a basin at the south end where the water will enter back into the circulation system • Provides opportunities for many additional trees, shrubs and perennial plantings • Connects the park features with a "Babbling Brook" channel which will meander from north to south creating interesting nodes and user experiences PROPOSED MASTER PLAN OVERVIEW REOLCATE FIBER OPTIC "WATER WALL" FEATURE START OF BROOK (FORMAL CHANNEL) - - - TREES TO SCREEN ADJACENT PROPERTY • 0000 1400 FIC PLAZA ACCESS SWINGING BENCH SCULPTURE OPPORTUNITY PLAZA STEP / SEATVVALL BROOK CROSSING FEATURE CONNECT TO 8' DEVELOPMENT BAB LING BROOK CASCADE- - BROOK CROSSING FEATURE PROPOSED MASTER PLAN: NORTH BUILDING FFE 869.6 =OVERLOOK/SCULPTURE OPPORTUNITY EMERG1ENCY EXIT WALKWAY 10' COLORED CONCRETE WALK ISLAND FEATURE TO PROVIDE MANHOLE ACCESS r-SENCt-: SWINGING BENCH (TYP.)

The corridor, owned by the City of Edina, currently provides walking and bike paths, and plans are underway for installation of a pond and babbling brook feature that would serve as an amenity and backdrop for several art sculptures. The proposed water feature along the Promenade will use water pumped from Centennial Lakes. Current land use in the area around the Promenade is generally commercial and high-density residential, with much of the land cover being impervious surface. Runoff from much of the surrounding area is conveyed to Centennial Lakes through storm sewer pipes; minimal stormwater treatment is provided prior to discharge to the lake. 1.2 Project Objectives The soils in the Centennial Lakes watershed are generally sandy and conducive to infiltration. The City's goal is to utilize the sandy soils along portions of the Promenade for stormwater infiltration, while maintaining current and proposed functions of the greenway (walking, biking, aesthetic viewing). To do so, the City and Nine Mile Creek Watershed District asked Barr to develop a volume-reduction plan for the portion of the Promenade between Hazelton Avenue and Centennial Lakes, including several conceptual stormwater infiltration options. The infiltration concepts are described in further detail below.

This type of design requires a fairly significant land footprint, especially on sites with a large amount of impervious area draining to the infiltration practice. With the existing walking and bike paths and the proposed pond and babbling brook feature, the remaining available land along the Promenade for surface infiltration BMPs is limited. Given the limited land available for storage of runoff prior to infiltration and the plans to install a pump from Centennial Lakes to feed the proposed water feature, it was decided that water from Centennial Lakes will be pumped into the Promenade stormwater infiltration system. This approach of using Centennial Lakes for runoff storage decreases the surface and/or underground storage costs and increases the amount of runoff volume that can be infiltrated. 2.1.2 Centennial Lakes Water Level Fluctuations As mentioned above, the primary objective of this project is to infiltrate stormwater runoff stored in Centennial Lakes. However, caution must be taken so that water level fluctuations in Centennial Lakes remain acceptable to stakeholders (nearby residents, businesses, and park users). In an effort to avoid significant water level fluctuations, the concepts were designed and evaluated under the assumption that levels in Centennial Lakes would be allowed to drop a maximum of 0.5 feet below the normal control elevation of 838 MSL, with the volume of water being used for infiltration. 2.1.3 Conflicts with Existing Infrastructure The location of existing infrastructure within the Promenade study area was a significant consideration when developing the infiltration system conceptual designs. Each of the conceptual infiltration designs avoid disturbance of the recently constructed bike trail. There are several existing utilities located below the Promenade study area, including storm sewer, sanitary sewer, fiber optic, and watermain. The conceptual infiltration systems were designed under the assumptions that the watermain and fiber optic lines could be relocated as needed, but the storm sewer and sanitary sewer would not be disturbed. For the proposed infiltration areas above the existing sanitary sewer, it was assumed that the sanitary system would be slip-lined as part of the project to minimize inflow and infiltration into the sanitary system. PAMpls\23 MN\27\23271309 Edina Centennial Lks Vol Red\WorkFiles\Report\FINALTromenade_VolReduction_DraftReport_final.docx 3 2.1.4 Coordination of Design with Proposed Promenade Water Feature The City of Edina has been working with the consulting firm URS, Inc. to design a water feature throughout a portion of the Promenade, including a pond and babbling brook-type feature that recirculates water pumped from Centennial Lakes. A rendering developed by URS, Inc depicting the most recent water feature conceptual plan is included in Appendix A. The conceptual infiltration system designs were developed to work around or in conjunction with the proposed URS, Inc. water feature layout. 2.2 Design Concepts The following conceptual infiltration system designs were developed for consideration based on the design constraints described above and multiple discussions with NMCWD and City staff: 1. Option A: Deep Underground Infiltration System 2. Option B: Shallow Underground Infiltration/Irrigation System 3. Option C: Shallow Surface Garden Basins 4. Option D: Shallow Surface Gardens with Rock Channel, in combination with underground system Option A or B Each of these four conceptual designs, and combinations thereof, are described in further detail below and shown in Figures 2 through 6. Preliminary plan sheet drawings of each concept are also included in Appendix B. Infiltration footprints have been estimated for each of the concepts to help quantify the potential benefits of each option. The estimated infiltration footprint areas, shown on the plan sheet drawings in Appendix B, are currently based on a concept level of design and likely to vary upon final design. 2.2.1 Design Option A: Deep Underground Infiltration System The deep underground infiltration system, shown in Figure 2, consists of installation of perforated pipes within an underground infiltration bed. Water pumped from Centennial Lakes would flow into the underground infiltration system and spread out via the rows of perforated pipes. The underground infiltration bed would optimize the available infiltration footprint within the Promenade area, covering 0.63 acres, and would be installed approximately six to nine feet below the proposed pathway and water feature. 2.2.2 Design Option B: Shallow Underground Irrigation/Infiltration System The shallow underground infiltration system, also shown in Figure 3, consists of installation of shallow infiltration beds below and alongside the proposed pathway. Water pumped from Centennial Lakes would travel through a main draintile beneath the proposed pathway and outward into smaller draintile pipes that would distribute the water into shallow rock trenches. Water in these trenches would be wicked up through roots and used to irrigate lawn and plantings, as well as infiltrate into the ground. The shallow underground irrigation/infiltration system would optimize the available P:\Mpls\23 MN\27\23271309 Edina Centennial Lks Vol Red\WorkFiles\Report\FINALTromenade_VolReduction_DraftReport_final.docx 4 footprint within the Promenade area, covering 0.62 acres, without interfering with the proposed pathway and water feature. 2.2.3 Design Option C: Shallow Garden Basins This conceptual design would consist of a series of shallow (less than six inches deep) garden infiltration basins that would be located amid the proposed pathway and water feature (see Figure 4). The basins would be planted to enhance the landscape and maintain consistency with the planning themes of the Promenade and Centennial Lakes Park. Because these gardens would be located amidst the proposed pathway and water feature, the infiltration surface area would be less than the underground infiltration options (0.33 acres). 2.2.4 Design Option D: Shallow Gardens with Rock Channel This conceptual design, which is limited to the lower portion of the Promenade study area, would consist of a series of shallow (less than six inches deep) garden infiltration basins connected by a rock channel resembling a stone creekbed. Water pumped from Centennial Lakes would flow through the channel and series of gardens, infiltrating into the ground and providing water for garden plants. This option, which would be installed in the portion of the Promenade south of the proposed water feature, is intended to be installed in conjunction with one of the underground options installed below the proposed water feature. Option D in combination with the deep underground infiltration system (Option A) is shown in Figure 5. Option D in combination with the shallow underground irrigation/infiltration system (Option B) is shown in Figure 6. The estimated infiltration footprint of options D/A and D/B are 0.56 acres and 0.52 acres, respectively. 2.3 Cost Estimates Planning level engineer's opinions of probable construction cost were prepared for the proposed pumping system and each design option. The opinions of probable cost, summarized in Table 1, are based on our experience and the level of information available to determine costs for the proposed projects. Given that the costs are based on concept-level designs, a contingency of 20% was applied to the estimated construction costs.

Given these differences, it was important to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed infiltration systems on a long-term basis. To do so, the City's XP-SWMM model for the Centennial Lakes watershed was modified to incorporate a range of pumping scenarios that reflect a range of infiltration area "footprints" and run for a 35-year time period using 15-minute precipitation data from Golden Valley, Minnesota (Barr, 2011). Model results from the 35-year time period were used to estimate the average annual volume reduction achieved through a Promenade infiltration system. Table 2 summarizes the modeled infiltration area "footprints" and corresponding pumping rates. The pumping rates were computed using a saturated hydraulic conductivity of 1.6 inches/hour, based on an assumption that soils within the Promenade are generally sandy. The average annual volume reduction achieved for each infiltration footprint was computed by quantifying the average volume pumped from the lake annually during the typical nonfrozen-ground period of April 7th through December 6 (Barr, 2011). Based on the 35 years of modeling results, the estimated average annual infiltration from a system ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 acres in size is between 73 acre-feet and 175 acre-feet. The corresponding average annual percent reduction in discharge volume from Centennial Lakes ranges from 17 to 41 percent, depending on the infiltration footprint. The percent annual volume reduction calculation includes flow that is periodically pumped to Centennial Lakes from Adam's Hill Pond in Richfield. 3.2 Phosphorus Removal Phosphorus is recognized as a primary pollutant of concern for urban water bodies within Minnesota, and the City of Edina has several goals and policies to promote removal of phosphorus from its stormwater. The estimated phosphorus removals from implementation of a proposed Promenade infiltration system were estimated for a range of infiltration footprints, based on the estimated average annual volume reductions. In the absence of water quality monitoring data from Centennial Lakes, corresponding phosphorus reductions were estimated assuming an average in-lake phosphorus concentration of 150 Rg/L. Table 2 summarizes the estimated phosphorus removals achieved for a range of infiltration footprints and corresponding pumping rates.

ROLL CALL Answering roll call was members Bass, Boettge, Franzen, Janovy, LaForce, Nelson, Sierks, Spanhake, Van Dyke and Whited. APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA Motion was made by member Janovy and seconded by member Franzen to approve:the meeting agenda. All voted aye. Motion carried. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 — Approved as corrected. Motion was made by member Janovy and seconded by member LaForce to approve the amended minutes of September 19, 2013. All voted aye. Motion carried. COMMUNITY COMMENT — None. REPORTS/RECOMMENDATIONS Safety in the Park Presentation Mr. Thom Miller and Ms. Jamie LaPrey gave the presentation on The St. Louis Park Freight Rail Re-route. Mr. Miller said the group, Safety in the Park, was formed in 2010, because of their deep concern about the proposed re-routing of freight rail traffic in their city. They do not support the re-route for safety and livability reasons; however they enthusiastically support LRT. Their concern is that the MN&S was not built to handle heavy, long cars (also travels through Edina) and its proximity to St. Louis Park's (SLP) schools. Mr. Miller said "the railroad has publicly and repeatedly stated that unlike the trains that travel on the MN&S today, the re-routed trains WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP if an operator sees a child, car, or obstruction on the tracks due to the length and weight of the trains." They went through the history of how they came to be where they are today and the different options that were laid out. They explained that Edina would be affected if the Southern Arm is replaced with a "switching wye" "which enables trains to change direction from east/west to north/south and vice versa" (a noisy, difficult, 3-4 hour process) vs a ramp which SLP City Council favors based on economic developments and a LRT stop closer to the hospital. They said their main goal is to stop the re-route and they are concerned with the Southern Arm and modifying for heavy freight that the tracks were not built for. Mr. Miller said this should also concern Edina. 2012 Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction Survey — Results Director Houle explained that this was the survey results from the projects completed in 2012. He said this was the third year since they've started surveying residents. Member Janovy suggested grouping the survey results by projects so that they could see if there were any patterns. Member LaForce asked what happens to the feedback and how they are applied to future projects. Director Houle said traffic related questions are forwarded to transportation planner Nolan; others are used to for improvements; and areas where repairs were noted were taken care of during the warranty period. Chair Nelson asked how the surveys were distributed and director Houle said electronically through Survey Monkey but those who did not have electronic access could request a paper copy. 1 Draft 2013 Street Reconstruction Survey The following suggestions were made: Questions 1 & 2: Separate these 'City Meetings and Open Houses' because people may like one or the other; also ask what their preferred options are, including social media. Question 5: '...level of inconvenience...' is subjective; can we frame a question that measures something that the crew does? Question 7: weather related delays...' and '...ample notices...'— not clear what is being asked; '..ample notices...' is subjective, can we give specific timeframe, e.g. 24 hrs? Question 8: Last part of is ambiguous — '...any conflicts in dealing with the project'. Question 11: '....end result and final design' probably have different meaning to people so consider separating them. Questions with rating scale: Consider a 4 point rating scale because on a 5 point rating scale, 'Neither effective or ineffective' would be a 3 and it probably should not be a 3. The survey was developed by the Engineering and Communications Departments. 2014 Neighborhood Reconstruction Projects — Updates Birchcrest B Community Comment Wayne Lindholm, 5024 Valley View Road, said the survey result showed that residents were in favor of streetlights 50/50 but it is not being recommended as part of the project, while sidewalk results was 27 to 61 and it is being recommended. He opposes the sidewalk which is not shown in the Comp Plan. Arthur Thieleman, 5132 Valley View Road, said he opposes the Birchcrest Study. He said several historic surveys are included and one of them is a an updated pedestrian traffic survey but there is no mention of a concrete sidewalk; the area is noted not as a primary bike route but as a secondary bike route; there are more cyclists than casual riders (like himself); Mayor Hovland and Councilmember Swenson met with neighbors regarding the petition for the sidewalk and did not understand why the sidewalk was going in; and the bike route did not meet the definition because there are no place to recreate. During discussion, director Houle clarified that the sidewalk ends where it does because that is the end of the project limit; the sidewalk will be 5 ft. with a 5 ft. boulevard with some variation on the width; he will check with staff to see why streetlights are not being recommended; traffic volume on Valley View is 1400-1500/day and speed is 35-36 mph. Member Whited read last month's minutes where she had noted that the survey response was not in favor of sidewalk but staff reported that there was support from residents for the sidewalk, a contrast to tonight. Member LaForce said there are no schools or parks; however, the value of the sidewalk is not necessarily to take him anywhere but for him to use as a walker. Member Janovy added that two criteria are met — high volume and speed. Motion was made member Bass and seconded by member Janovy to forward the Birchcrest B Neighborhood Reconstruction feasibility study to City Council for approval. All voted aye. Motion carried. Bredesen Park D Motion was made member LaForce and seconded by member Spanhake to forward the Bredesen Park D Neighborhood Reconstruction feasibility study to City Council for approval. All voted aye. Motion carried. Countryside F Motion was made member Janovy and seconded by member Franzen to forward the Countryside F Neighborhood Reconstruction feasibility study to City Council for approval. All voted aye. Motion carried. 2 Morningside B Member Janovy said several emails were received in support of sidewalks on 42 nd and continuing west of Grimes. She said staff made some great changes since the feasibility study was first submitted and one of them is a recommendation to not build the sidewalk west of Grimes; however, residents want the sidewalk and some did not care which side of the road it was on, while others prefer the south side. She asked if Alden and Scott were part of the recommendation and transportation planner Nolan said yes. Member Janovy said as a resident in the neighborhood, she would not recommend them and also there was no support for them in the survey and traffic volume is low. Director Houle said now is the time to fill in these missing segments because the opportunity will be lost for many years as experienced in another neighborhood and it is in the Comp Plan. He said staff is not recommending segment two (42 nd from Grimes to city limit) because the residents have not been notified; however, they could use Nov/Dec. to notify residents and still have it folded in as part of this project. Staff, up until now was recommending the sidewalk on the north side but Member Janovy said putting the sidewalk on the south side would connect with existing sidewalks, and they can cross at Grimes and 421 using the new crosswalk. She said further that there are some obstacles at Lynn & Oakdale and if these cannot be worked around it would be better to have the sidewalk from Grimes to Lynn. Member Franzen asked if the south side has been studied and transportation planner Nolan said the north side was studied and there are 28 conflicts compared to 32 on the south side. Some major conflicts on the south side include a driveway retaining wall, possibly a new driveway due to grading with likely impacts to the garage, and a huge tree that would be difficult to meander around. It was noted that the ring path around the park is not being recommended at this time. Motion was made by member Janovy to forward to the City Council for approval the Morningside B Neighborhood Reconstruction feasibility study with the comments in the Oct. 7 memo with the exception of .2 and instead recommend that a sidewalk be constructed between Grimes and the city limits and that it be a 5 ft. sidewalk to match the others. Discussion Chair Nelson asked if the north/south sidewalks (Alden and Scott) were included in the above motion. Member Janovy said it does not matter if they are included or not. Member Bass seconded the motion. Member Franzen said he does not have enough information on segment 2 to recommend it. Member LaForce asked if the motion included the north or south side and member Janovy said the side is to be determined based on further study. Chair Nelson asked for clarification on the north/south sidewalk and member Bass said she assumed they are included especially because they are in the Comp Plan. Member Franzen asked if it was possible to have the feasibility study for segment 2 done before final approval and staff felt that they could make this happen. Member LaForce asked what they are going to learn that they don't already know and transportation planner Nolan said the impact to the house and tree to the west and director Houle added that they have not followed protocol of notifying residents and getting their input. Member Janovy said more notice is better and historically residents would have been notified because they would be assessed but this is being paid from the PACS fund and wondered if this new funding strategy changes anything. The motion was voted on as following: Aye: Bass, Whited, Nelson, Janovy, Spanhake, Boettge Nay: Laforce, Franzen Motion carried. Strachauer Park B Member Janovy asked if the REUs were changed to show that the park would be assessed 3 REUs instead of 2 and director Houle said it was not changed but will be addressed before going to City Council. 3 Motion was made member LaForce and seconded by member Bass to forward the Strachauer Park B Neighborhood Reconstruction feasibility study to City Council for approval. All voted aye. Motion carried. 54th Street Reconstruction and Arden Park Stormwater Management Plan Director Houle said at this point the plans are approximately 80-90% complete and Mr. Toby Muse with SEH would be presenting the design recommendation. He said the completed plan will come before the ETC in November before going to the City Council December for final approval. Mr. Paul Pasko with SEH was also in attendance. Mr. Muse, project manager, said the project location is W. 54I Street between Wooddale and France Avenues. W. 54th is a state aid roadway with a bridge over Minnehaha Creek. The project has gone through two processes that are unusual for City projects and they are 1) a robust stakeholder engagement process to help shape design decisions and recommendations; and 2) Envision Sustainability Evaluation which is a scoring system that measures the effect project decisions and recommendations have on sustainability. Current roadway conditions are different east and west of the creek. On the east, there are curb and gutter, advisory bicycle lanes, parking on both sides and the roadway with is 40 ft.; on the west there are no curb and gutter, dedicated bicycle lanes and the roadway widths varies from 29-34 ft. The pavement is in poor condition both east and west. At a couple wider than usual intersections turning vehicle speeds are higher than normal and with diminished pedestrian crossing safety. There are seven Metro Transit bus stops, stop signs, driveway entrances that vary from flat to steep, and cobra head streetlights on wooden poles. The average daily traffic count is 2,400; the 85th percentile speeds is from 29.8 to 30.5 mph; there are parking demands on Sundays (based on a parking study) otherwise one lane is sufficient on the east end; and there are 14 private retaining walls/landscaping within the right-of-way. The bridge was built in 1935 and widened in 1948. MnDOT has rated it structurally deficient and the rails as substandard. Stakeholder engagement: the goal was to include everyone to help make decisions in developing alternatives and ultimately a final design. Mr. Muse showed a table that demonstrated how feedback has shaped the draft feasibility study from August to October 2013, for example, eight trees were going to be removed and based on feedback no trees will be removed, etc. More public meetings and online surveys are scheduled. Proposed improvements to the west include curb and gutter, 14 ft. shared vehicle and bicycle lanes in both directions, a 1 ft. concrete boulevard adjacent to a 5 ft. sidewalk on the north side. The east section will have a 14 ft. shared vehicle lane with a 7 ft. parking lane on the south, an 18 ft. shared vehicle and bicycle lanes on the north with parking allowed only on Sundays, and a 1 ft. concrete boulevard adjacent to a 5 ft. sidewalk on the north side. The intersections at Park Place and Minnehaha Blvd will be narrowed but will accommodate turning movements of bigger vehicles. Other proposed improvements include bus stops consolidation to be coordinated with Metro Transit and decorative streetlights (style to be determined). A final design for the bridge has not been determined but a natural looking bridge is preferred; the deck will be raised approximately 3 ft. to accommodate a shelf underneath to mitigate pedestrian crossing for users of the creek; exact railing, lighting and aesthetic treatments are still to be determined. It would have 17 ft. shared vehicle and bicycle lanes, a 1 ft. concrete boulevard adjacent to a 5 ft. sidewalk on the north side, and decorative kneewall and railing for vehicle, pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The project planning began in June and from here, the feasibility study will come back to the ETC in November and then to the City Council in December for final approval. Discussion Member Nathan asked if options were looked at for the power lines. Mr. Muse said they would need to be moved which would cause delays and impacts to trees. He asked if the City looked at burying the lines and director Houle 4 said cost would be approximately $1-2M that State Aid would not cover and would likely be assessed to residents. He said it is most likely that Xcel Energy would pay the relocation cost. Member LaForce asked if the city has any jurisdiction over the creek and Mr. Muse said the City is working with the watershed district but he is not certain about jurisdiction. Director Houle said the watershed district has funding for shoreline improvements and also mainline improvements. Member Whited asked about water quality improvements and Mr. Muse said this will be addressed as they are working with the watershed district and also they need to meet minimum State Aid requirements. Member Janovy said she struggles with the level of engineering detail that is provided in understanding or being able to tell exactly where the road widths changes. She said one concern that people have is speeding and the data provided is better than they see on other streets. She asked how does 14 ft. lane addresses the concern of speeding and Mr. Muse said 14 ft. is the minimum width for a shared lane and director Houle added that not having the centerline, drivers tend to drive more cautiously, similar to W. 44th . Member Janovy said it looks like W. 44th is functioning but they need data and she's asked for it twice. Community Comment Mr. Steve Timmer, 54th & Oaklawn, said the following: • As a stakeholder, he's worked hard to keep the footprint of the project small and prevent urban sprawl; • Distributed a document yesterday that he and neighbors prepared that he would like added to the record; • Last night was the first time he saw the final plan that was presented tonight and noticed 14-ft lanes (last plan had 13.5-ft lanes) and when pressed for a reason the engineering department said it was MnDOT's rule based on bike facility and certain traffic counts; he said this was a surprise for residents and probably a surprise to staff also; • It is possible to ask for a variance to accommodate the conditions on the street and he asked the ETC to ask the City Council to request a variance based on reasons cited in the document he distributed; • Loves the neighborhood and would like to keep it as is and save the trees. Mark Epple, 5336 Kellogg, said the following: • How are lane widths measured? What was presented is centerline to face of curb but MnDOT measures to edge of gutter which could potentially add another 3-ft; Mr. Muse's response was that lanes are measured to the face of the curb and MnDOT considers the 14-ft lane to be a wide outside lane because it has bike facility. • There is a lack of detail showing impacts; • Understands not moving the power poles; • Heavily biased to the north side and is concerned about impacts to his two trees and their condition in future years; • Wants to be sure that staff understands what MnDOT expects; • How close can you get to a utility pole when building curb? Mr. Muse said measurement from the pole is from street side face of the pole to the face of the curb for a minimum 2-ft clear zone; • Residents on west side want to keep project centered. Teri Whaley, 5337 Wooddale, said the following: • Became involved because of Wooddale project which was a debacle; • Sidewalks are important and does not mind having it on her side but must consider the width; a 4-ft sidewalk with 1-ft rumble strip falls within guidelines; • Regarding stakeholders, many at the first meeting were not Edina residents which probably caused fear and motivated residents involvement; others should enjoy the creek, etc. but homeowners are who make Edina great; consider them first, not bikers or people at bus stops; no focus on school bus drop-offs but wants landing pads [for Metro Transit]; • Make decisions based on needs of homeowners, not needs of bikers, pedestrians, etc. 5 Jean Colwell, 5401 Oaklawn, said the following: • Thanked staff and consultant for listening; • There are still some issues residents are not happy with but is hopeful they can reach a compromise, i.e. the rumble strip which adds more concrete; * Take into consideration how close to the roadway the houses are built, unlike 44th that 54th keeps being compared to. John Crabtree, 5408 Oaklawn, said the following: • Would like the police to comment on the underpass under the bridge in reference to loitering and intent; O Regarding street widths, some would have liked to see parking but when it was fully understood, no longer supported it; • Living Streets presentation by staff to City Council highlighted the following: street costs, streets run-off (environmental), quality of life survey (speeding and running stop signs); cannot do anything about drivers running stop signs but the others can be controlled by making street as narrow as possible. John Adams, 5336 W. 54th, said the following: * Appreciated that staff is coming around to residents' feedback; • Concerned with lane widths; • Noted that speed was measured at 30 mph but is concerned with aggregate speeding; • Noted the difference in the 'feel' of the roadway east and west of creek; • Wants to support parking for the church but not if it continues to cause speeding; Kevin Green, 5400 Kellogg, said the following: • New to neighborhood and moved here because of safety, character of the neighborhood and opportunity for rising property values; e Hearing more questions about the details than they currently have answers to and asked that they consider additional time to provide more information so they understand the impacts to their property value before moving forward; O Width of street is concerning; do not want to lose trees for bike lanes or parking; going from removing eight trees to zero is a great testament to what has been done over the past several months; • Pleased with progress but is far from being satisfied so please consider additional details and facts with greater clarity so they understand the true impacts. Ed Ross, 4015 W. 54th, said the following: • Supports John Adams' comments; • Removing parking on one side and creating 18-ft lane does not make sense; • Supports parking on both sides to keep street narrow and provide use; • Church event tonight and vehicles were parked on both sides so parking is needed other than on Sundays; • Providing a lot of resources for bike traffic that is not there; Member Franzen asked if the report included existing and proposed conditions survey. Mr. Houle said this level of detail is not generally provided at this point in the study and if it was to be provided it would increase the study cost. Member Franzen said this was a unique project and he is not able to respond to residents' concerns without this information. He suggested moving some of the power poles. Member Janovy concurred with member Franzen. Member Janovy said the report included 2012 speed data and one reference to 2013 and asked if they would be provided 2013 data. She said getting bike and pedestrian video data would also be helpful. 6 Member Bass said she appreciated residents sharing their feedback and especially on the engagement process which is new for the City. She said she heard them asking for details and that it is important that what gets designed, gets built. She added that she was pleased to hear Mr. Crabtree's take away from the Living Streets presentation because a big part of the policy is addressing water quality and traffic calming. She said one piece not mentioned was the acknowledgement that people are moving about in different ways and patterns and transportation will continue to change for current and new residents and they need to consider the needs of all users and balance this with things like roadway widths and facility. Member Janovy asked about placing signs in the 1-ft rumble strip as it relates to ADA requirements and Mr. Houle said they need at least 2-ft for sign placement. He explained that the reason for including the rumble strip was because the sidewalk is directly adjacent to the roadway with a 6" drop-off and though it is not required by ADA, they recommend not putting a sidewalk next to a drop off. Additionally, he said they've proposed a 5-ft sidewalk because the equipment that public works staff uses for snow maintenance is 5-ft wide and the next side down is a regular snow blower. Traffic Safety Committee Report of October 8, 2013 A.1. Chair Nelson asked if the school was contacted and transportation planner Nolan said the school was not contacted. A.2 Member Janovy said it looks like there is transit bus stop by the bump-out — this has been corrected. Chair Nelson asked if the `no parking' is going to be only at those locations where the bump-outs are and then 170 ft. north of the crosstown ramps — yes. Member Franzen said the bump-outs could be larger and more aesthetically- pleasing and still have enough parking — this is temporary for the winter said director Houle. B.1. Member Franzen asked how pedestrians are counted and transportation planner Nolan said it is done electronically. Member Janovy said she understands why the crosswalk was denied but believes the NEETS called for crosswalk at Sunnyside and Grimes. Additionally, she said there are two curb cuts that do not align with the intersection and she has almost been hit there and something needs to be done. C. 1. Member Whited said this area is a natural path for crossing that she uses and the number seems low to her. She asked if these types of counts could be done on the weekends and transportation planner Nolan said yes. C.2. Member Bass said she understands where the requestor is coming from because she has almost been hit by bicyclists in the 50th & France area. She said there is a parking issue and they do not want to discourage people from taking other modes. She said there are no facilities for biking. She said they should be careful in the language they use and also ask Council to consider potential remedies for addressing the need for better bicycle facilities in the area. She said this highlights the potential conflicts when there isn't a good system for all the modes. Member Janovy agreed and said she sent a photo of pavement inset sign to transportation planner Nolan. 0.2. Member Janovy asked what the bump-out will look like and was told that it is already built. Motion was made by member Spanhake and seconded by member Franzen to forward the October 8 Traffic Safety Report to City Council. All voted aye. Motion carried. Updates Student Members - None Bike Edina Task Force It was noted that the Sept. 12 minutes was not distributed. Member Janovy reported that they've reorganized — passed bylaws, standardized members, formed subcommittees and there are four open spots for new members. She said the subcommittees are infrastructure, bike friendly community, Active Routes to School, and education and 7 outreach and these will be open to anyone who would like to participate. Member Bass asked if the status of the BETF with the City has been clarified and member Janovy said the consensus is that the group is not interested in being a working group of the ETC and since they are seen as a separate organization from the City, they are working to formalize their relationship with the City. Living Streets Working Group Chair Nelson said the group continues to meet. Transportation planner Nolan added that the next meeting is Nov. 6 at which time they will review the results of the workshop exercise and talk about crafting the report. Communications Committee Member LaForce clarified that they do not have any work in progress and that they work on a 'as needed basis.' CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS - None CHAIR AND COMMISSION MEMBER COMMENTS In reference to the neighborhood reconstruction that is taking place on his street, Member Franzen said he has been testing the engineering staff to see if he could stomp them and was surprised when he emailed them regarding his property marker that was removed to hear that it was already scheduled to be re-installed. He said he was quite impressed that staff had thought of the little details of the project. Chair Nelson said he's noticed on the Birchcrest B project that the plan is to replace the concrete streets with bituminous and since they have not done much work on concrete streets throughout the City, he asked if this was the plan going forward. Mr. Houle said there are about 50 miles of concrete streets and they do not have replacement plan so they are replacing them as they do neighborhood reconstruction projects, and they are being replaced with bituminous. In reference to the presentation from Safety in the Park, Chair Nelson asked if it would be appropriate for the ETC to ask the City Council to take a position on the Southern Arm that is being proposed. Mr. Houle said this would be up to the ETC and he suggested discussing this at the next meeting. He said staff could not comment on it because they do not have enough information. He said the whistleblowing is a problem and the way to deal with this is for the City to install crossing arms and declare a whistle ban. He said this would be an expensive project. Member Whited said the new roadway design for the entry/exit at Byerly's on France Ave makes it easier to exit onto France Ave. Secondly, she said she is no longer with PRISM Express as of this week and had to cancel the grant application with the City and the Met Council and she asked how to move forward. Chair Nelson said to add this to the agenda for discussion next month. Member LaForce said there are lane closure signs on France Ave that is not visible until almost time to merge; he asked if they would consider putting the signs on the median so they are more noticeable. Member Bass said the issues and concerns raised by neighbors reminded her that the communications committee had recommended modifying the City's website to have clear and easy information on right-of-way, sightline, etc. and asked if they were ever considered. Mr. Houle said he would have to check on this and get back to her.
