VI. Reports/Recommendations
A. Advisory Communication: Birchcrest A Valley View Road Sidewalk Extension
Member Iyer asked for feedback on the advisory communication to Council. Including Cornelia Drive sidewalk
as an example was suggested – this sidewalk was retrofitted years after the street reconstruction project, cost
was approximately 140% higher, and an inferior product.
B. Discuss Goals of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan
Members Miranda and Olson worked on ‘Review of 2008 Plan & Suggestions for 2018 Plan’ work plan item. For
clarification, planner Nolan said the plans will be combined; the budget to develop the plans is $75,000.
In their presentation, Member Miranda said some things to consider are incorporating existing city and agency
plans; impact of emerging trends; transportation options and types/distance of destinations. Since there wasn’t a
pedestrian plan, they looked at accomplishments from the 2008 Comprehensive Plan that were pedestrian-
related, and identified 2018 goals. For the Bike Plan, they identified 2008 accomplishments, things still to be
done and identified 2018 goals. He said the consultant they select to help them develop the plan should be
experienced, have local and regional knowledge, aware of global trends, and understands transportation vs
recreation. He said the next steps include staff issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP), adding diverse members to
the steering committee which already include Kirk Logan Johnson from the now defunct BikeEdina Task Force.
Planner Nolan said the completion timeline for the Comp Plan is February 2018. He suggested spring 2017 to
select a consultant because they can start collecting data then due to weather issues. He said the committee will
have to be a working group if they wish to include other members of the community and suggested they begin
the process of selecting members now.

C. Recommended 2017-2018 Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety Fund Projects
Planner Nolan said the list shows projects and funding sources. He said the list changes frequently, for example,
if the Council approves the Valley View Road sidewalk, it would be added to the list. He said account balance
from the previous year or high/low bids also have an impact. He said the connection between the Oaklawn
Avenue sidewalk and the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail is no longer being planned for construction because
three of the four owners wanted substantial compensation.
Members suggested adding the following sidewalks to the list: W. 66th Street from Normandale Road to
Ridgeview Drive; W. 66th Street from Normandale Road to West Shore Drive on the south side; W. 58th Street
from France Avenue to Xerxes Avenue. Equitable distribution of the funds was suggested because it appears
that most of the 2018 funding are concentrated in certain areas. It was noted that this was the case because
most of the 2018 sidewalks are tied to street reconstruction projects. Member Bass suggested spending the
balance of 2018 funds equitably and she handed out criteria that they could consider. Member Olson said
eliminating the Oaklawn Avenue connection (see above) is disappointing because it is the most equitable on the
list.
D. Additional Updates on 2016 Work Plan Initiatives
Chair LaForce said the Council accepted their recommendation for passenger rail and directed staff to do an
RFP for a study. Planner Nolan said this was added to staff’s work plan and that the ETC would play a key role.
Circling back to the work plan item he volunteered for, Review Quality of Life Surveys, Chair LaForce said he
was thinking about posting a question to Nextdoor to get feedback from residents where they see gaps in the
transportation system. Using some of the multimodal survey questions and adding more if needed was
suggested; Edina To Go app was suggested but this would require an app change; member Brown said a
neighborhood irritant for him and others is the lack of funding for chip seal to maintain their roads for which
they have been substantially assessed.
E. Traffic Safety Report of Nov. 2, 2016
A.1. Planner Nolan said temporary stop signs were installed by MnDOT (their approval is needed because it
affects traffic on the bridge, which they own).
Motion made by member Olson and seconded by member Bass to forward the Nov. 2, 2016, TSC
report to the City Council. All voted aye. Motion passed.
VII. Correspondence And Petitions
None.
VIII. Chair and Member Comments
Member Brown said he’s noticed a lot more cars parking on the street after Oct. 31.
Member Olson suggested a project for student member Koester to report on parking at the high school –
difficulty, process, cost, etc.
Chair LaForce said the City is currently taking applications for board and commission members and he noted
that the terms are coming to an end next year for all the female members of the ETC. He suggested being more
active in finding members who bring different skills and values. He said the Council picks the members but the
ETC could encourage people to apply.

IX. Staff Comments for October 2016
• Council reviewed and approved Work Plans recently; the Bike and Pedestrian Plan is a separate item;
the Planning Commission also has Implementing Living Streets through Traffic Impact Analyses on their

• 2017 projects, Chowen Park D and Countryside G were recently approved by Council; others are
coming up for approval.
• Highway 169 is scheduled to be closed Jan. 1, 2017, and reopen in October.

INTRODUCTION:
Initiative #1 on the 2017 ET C work plan states "If City staff secures funds, support and guide the engagement
process for, and potentially study of, passenger rail in Edina." Staff is asking the ET C to further discuss the goals
of this initiative, which staff understands will entail the hiring of a consultant to assist with the completion of this
initiative. Staff is looking at funding sources for this initiative.
If funding is secured, it is assumed that staff will prepare a request for proposals (RFP ) that would outline the
scope and budget for a consultant. Staff would like commissioners to discuss their ideas for a potential scope of
services, keeping in mind potential budget implications. For reference, below are the ET C's recommendations
regarding next steps in this process, taken from the ET C advisory communication dated Nov 15, 2016.
ET C's recommended next steps:
Staff identifies and City Council approves funding for initial public engagement process and professional
support to study the possibility of rail transit on the Dan P atch/CP line;
Staff, with input and guidance from the ET C, determines project scope and develops an RFP.
Consultants engaged by mid-Q1 2017, with process completed by end of Q2 2017.
Report answers questions 2 and 3.

Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator
Traffic Safety Report of December 07, 2016
Information / Background:
The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on December 7. The City
Engineer, Assistant City Planner, Traffic Safety Coordinator, Police Lieutenant, Public Works Director,
Traffic Safety Specialist and Transportation Planner were in attendance for this meeting. The Public Works
Director and Assistant City Planner were informed of the decisions and did not object to the
recommendations.
For these reviews, the recommendations below are provided. 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, these comments can be included
on the December 15 Edina Transportation Commission and the January 18 City Council meeting agendas.
Section B: Items which staff recommends for no action
B1. Request to add a directional sign for the Chapel
Hills United Church of Christ
• Church also functions as a polling station
and used for local neighborhood
association meetings.
• Located on Vernon Avenue, west of the
Vernon Avenue and Gleason Road
intersection.
• Concerns include misunderstanding of the
Gleason Road and Vernon Avenue
intersection and the location of the church.
• Requesters are looking for a sign with
arrows directing vehicles at Gleason and
Vernon intersection.

new sidewalk on Interlachen Boulevard
Map: Location of Edina
Promenade at Hazelton Road
Photo: Pedestrian crosswalk which includes amber flashers
on pedestrian sign to the right and above the crosswalk.
After review, staff recommends not placing directional signs along Vernon Avenue, as
Vernon Avenue is a County road. Vernon Avenue and Gleason Road intersection does
include directional arrows indicating Vernon Avenue continuing west.
B2. Request to place reflective strips on electrical poles along
the new sidewalks on Interlachen Boulevard.
• New sidewalks have been constructed on the south
side of Interlachen Boulevard between Mirror Lakes
Drive to Interlachen Bluff.
• Requestor is worried about pedestrians walking
into these poles when it is dark outside.
• The sidewalk weaves around light and electrical
poles.
• ADT of Interlachen Boulevard at the new sidewalks
range from 8,500 to 9,500.
• 11 light poles are within one foot of newly placed
sidewalk.
After review, staff recommends not placing any reflective strips on any utility poles
maintained by Excel Energy as it could lead to distracting motorists. Staff believes
Interlachen Boulevard provides proper lighting for pedestrians using the newly placed
sidewalk.
B3. Resident is concerned vehicles are not stopping for pedestrians at crosswalk on Hazelton Road and
the Edina Promenade.
• Resident says westbound vehicles have
difficulty seeing pedestrians at late
afternoon hours as sun is setting and
difficult to see crossing pedestrians.
• Total times the crosswalk is used in an
average day is 428.
• Peak hours of crossing are from 5pm to
7pm.
• Peak hour flashers were used 39 times and
flashers were not used 49 times.
• On average, the pedestrian flashers are
pressed 180 times (42% of
crosses).Pedestrians did not use the
flashers 248 times (58% of crosses).
• Westbound traffic did not stop during 18
total crosses (4% of pedestrian crosses).
• Eastbound traffic did not stop during 10
total crosses (2% of pedestrian crosses).
• Crosswalk has an island for pedestrians to
reduce exposure time for vehicles.
• Flashers last 30 seconds when pressed.

to 4 pm. Area in red is where students have been parking.
Map: Location of area being
affected at curve of Brook Drive
Photo: From W. 69th Street facing northwest
towards curve at Brook Drive.
After review, staff recommends no action at this crosswalk with such a low percent of
vehicles refusing to stop for pedestrians. Staff feels more than adequate with the
current crosswalk design.
B4. Request to change parking in neighborhood near
Edina High School
• Resident believes on street parking is
unsafe for neighbors.
• Nearby, new ‘No Parking’ signs placed on
W. 69th Street are causing students to
park on Brook Drive.
• Parking has been taking place from 8:15
am to 3:30 pm weekdays.
• Resident requesting enforcing six-hour
parking limit.
• Vehicles tend to park from W. 69th Street
past the curve on Brook Drive.
• Width of Brook Drive at curve is 29.5’.
After review, staff recommends taking no
action as this is a temporary issue with Edina
High School construction renovations taking
up one parking lot and being able to offer
approximately 100 less parking spaces for
students this school year.
B5. Request to temporarily allow students to park in
residential streets with ‘No Parking’ near Edina High
School
• Construction at Edina High School is
leading to a lack of parking available for
students (approx. 100 spaces).
• Students have begun parking on Antrim
Road, W. 69th Street and Brook Drive.
• New ‘No Parking’ signs have been placed
on the south side of W. 69th Street.
• A “No Parking from here to corner” at
the intersection of Antrim Road and Chapel Drive was moved to prevent vehicles from
parking in the southbound bike lane, removing 4-5 parking spaces previously used.
• ‘No Parking 8 am – 4 pm Weekdays’ signs have been in place since 2005 on Chapel Lane
and Chapel Drive.
See B.4 above.
STAFF REPORT Page 4
B6. Residents requested to enforce street parking
during school hours near Creek Valley Road
• Creek Valley Road is located near the
northwest parking lot at Edina High
School.
• One parking lot is full of construction
equipment for Edina High School
expansion.
• Residents have counted over 20 vehicles
parking along Creek Valley Road in many
instances.
• The width of Creek Valley Road is 29 feet.
• Residents concerned for adequate space for operational vehicles with parking on both sides
of the street.
• Temporary ‘No Parking’ signs were placed on the north side of Creek Valley Road for one
week, were removed after further discussion.
See B.4 above.
Section D: Other Traffic Safety Items handled
D1. A requestor was concerned of the location of a “No Parking from here to corner”. Where the sign is
placed, drivers believe they can park in a tapered section of a bike lane heading southbound on Antrim
Road. This sign has been moved 90 feet south to allow parking once the bike lane has straightened with the
road.
D2. A requestor had a concern of replacing plants through the three 70th Street roundabouts as it made
sight lines difficult for vehicles entering the roundabouts. After reviewing all entrances, no changes are
deemed necessary when vehicles yield appropriately at entrances of these roundabouts.
D3. A resident was looking for a “Dead End” to be placed at the corner of Ewing Avenue South and W. 65th
Street. The resident was concerned of vehicles driving onto their driveway with the intent to reach France
Avenue. This sign was added after the Strachauer Park A reconstruction project was completed.
D4. A resident who lives on West 44th Street was looking for a couple ‘No Parking’ signs to be bagged for
an event on a past Sunday. After speaking with the Edina Police Department and the resident, the resident
was informed the Edina Police Department will no longer be bagging ‘No Parking’ signs.
D5. A resident was concerned potential customers didn’t understand the detour for the road work at the
70th street bridge. Road work has been completed and is no longer an issue.

attended earlier this year were completed (realignment of cross walk and extension of curb
bump outs), a 4-way stop has been returned to the intersection on the west side of the
bridge. There’s always been a 4-way stop on the east side. Re-introduction of this 4-way
stop was a welcome surprise. Our neighborhood is generally pleased with these
improvements which should improve crossing safety. Thank you again to the commission
for its involvement.
2) I rode the newly completed east segment of the 9-mile creek trail in Edina today. It is very
impressive. I’m sure that there has been a great deal of internal discussion about this, but I
think the City should advertise this amenity even more.
Thanks for you work for the City.
