V New Business
A4 The State Highway Department proposed new location of U.S. 169 from County
Rclad 18 to Hanson Road yeas discussed by the Planning Commission. The Planning
Commission met on November 18th with the St. Loui! Park Planning Commission
and the Distxict Highway Er ginee r to consider thi., plan and its long grange
eff=ect upon the two ccrunvnities and as a result of that meeting and further
disFussirn at the meeting tonight, it was moved by Gustafson, seconded by
Foley and zdcpted pan nim.o°sasly that the plan for #:169, as proposed, is not
fayo;i ed by the Plenning Commissian for the follow-A'ng reasons:
1. the p_rcpc,,ed croute doers not serve the 'Village w:if Edina in that only about
one -°fourth of the Village would have direct access to ii at Hanson Road and
perhaps at xnrerlachen.
2. As a State croute, its main purpose is to accommodate through traffic
and since this type of traffic has its origin outside of Edina, the Planning
Commission does not -see a need to carry such traffic through the Village
with the increased noise and fumes it would generate.
3. The Village has already gi°reri approval for Hennepin County plans for the
Cressitown Highway and plans t� imprcve County Rcad 18 and the Planning Com-
niissiun can see nu sound Ye8son why additional ta:' monies should be expended
Ln a new highti6-ay when these two county projects could be used.
4. If the State detei-mines after further study, substantiated by valid facts
reg,�Aing trafficvolumes, that anticipated traffic on 169 could not be routed
on either County Road 18 or the C.resstown, and that a new }route must be located
in Edina, then the Planning Commission recommends that the State consider care-
fully and felly the following recGm mendation:
That existing U.S. 169 be re -aligned and widened �n the south .and that a
frontage rood be considered from Gleeson Road to Doncaster (part of which
is already built). That the alignment of #169 be carried on Eden Avenue
and a cloveLplea£ be wisidered at Eden and Highway 100 with a half diamond
on 50th Street north of highway #1,00„
5. The proposal that Highway 100 be impr•tved and made a restricted access
highway from 78th to 50th Street is endorsed by the Planning C6mmission but
the treatment of highway #100 north of 50th street is nct in any manner
similar tc that south of 50t.h 3t.7reet Insofar as safety and access is con-
cerned. The Planning Commisslcn feel:., that highway #100 north of 50th St.
,hculd cext:ainly be improved to a level parallel to the remainder of the
prcposed construction.
