Call To Order Chair LaForce called the meeting to order. II. Roll Call Answering roll call were commissioners Ahler, Brown, Iyer, Kane, LaForce, Miranda, Olson, Richman and Ruthruff. Absent: Commissioners Koester and Olk. Commissioner Brown was excused at 7:05 p.m. and returned at 7:55 p.m. Commissioner Richman was excused at 7:30 p.m. III. Approval Of Meeting Agenda Motion was made by commissioner Miranda and seconded by commissioner Ahler approving the meeting agenda. All voted aye. Motion passed. IV. Approval Of Meeting Minutes Motion was made by commissioner Richman and seconded by commissioner Ruthruff approving the revised June 15, 2017, minutes. All voted aye. Motion carried. V. Community Comments Two residents in attendance wanted to address the commission on the Passenger Rail Community Engagement agenda item and planner Nolan explained that if the item was on the agenda and was not a public hearing, policy states that residents can not address the commission on that agenda item. He reminded them that a public meeting for the Passenger Rail Community Engagement was scheduled for next Tuesday. Ms. Davison was allowed to ask a question. Ms. Sue Davison, 6716 Galway Drive, asked if the passenger rail study would include the costs of maintenance and safety as whole because there are funding issues for maintenance of roads and bridges. VI. Reports/Recommendations A. Passenger Rail Community Engagement Report Ms. Jessica Laabs with Kimley-Horn presented. Ms. Laabs said the first Community Conversation was scheduled for Tuesday, July 25, and this was publicized by press release, social media, posters, and press coverage. She reviewed display boards that would be used at the meeting and asked for feedback on the series of questions. Feedback included deleting ‘Edina’ and replace with ‘CP Corridor,’ to make the questions specifically about the Dan Patch corridor. There will also be discussion tables and question walls. The ETC role at the meeting was discussed. Five commissioners plan to attend and assist. Ms. Laabs discussed the schedule from now through October when the City Council is to receive the ETC’s recommendation. She said after the first Community Conversation, an online survey would be released with same or similar questions. The next Community Conversation is scheduled for Sept. 7, and data collected to date would be shared at this meeting. Additionally, she said they will reach out to businesses as stakeholders and planner Nolan said other meetings are in the scope and this could include attending others’ meetings to get input from different groups. Ms. Laabs said next steps include looking at land use, existing conditions and meetings with other cities/agencies. Draft Minutes☒ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: 2 In addition to the two residents in attendance, two more residents came during the presentation and asked if they could comment. Chair LaForce explained the policy as stated above. Commissioner Iyer expressed concern that residents in attendance wanted to engage in the process and could not. Commissioner Iyer motioned to reopen Community Comments to allow residents to address the commission on Passenger Rail Community Engagement and the motion was seconded by commissioner Olson. Planner Nolan explained that this could set a precedent going against the City’s policy of publicly notifying residents so that everyone was given the same opportunity to engage (e.g. public meetings or hearings). Commissioner Richman suggested amending the motion to note this was one-time only and not a change to standing practice. Commissioner Iyer amended the motion to reopen Community Comments to allow residents to address the commission on Passenger Rail Community Engagement this one-time only and not a change to standing practice. Commissioner Olson accepted the amended. Ayes: Ahler, Brown, Iyer, LaForce, Kane, Olson, and Richman Nays: Miranda and Ruthruff Motion carried. Community Comment Ms. Sue Davison, 6716 Galway Drive, said when the original Dan Patch Study was done, there was no Southwest Corridor Light Rail. Mr. David Davison, 6716 Galway Drive, made the following comments: • Could have light rail for a couple million dollars which is a tenth of the cost of Southwest Light Rail; • During Dan Patch study, people were concerned about hazards; light rail is less hazardous; • Use circulator buses to connect to light rail; • Inner-city rail plan favors Northfield at the expense of Edina; Edina gets hazards and Northfield gets benefits; • Requested poster at the public meeting that has the actual gag rule; • Involve the Center for Transportation Study; • How would this evolve over the next few years? Ms. Lauren McNamara, 6201 Crescent Drive, said she was on the study team 15 years ago. She said residents are confused both from information on the website and things they’ve heard. She asked for clarity on things like CP owns the rail but would they allow light rail, or, would freight and light rail co-exist. Additionally, she said friends live approximately one mile from the Northstar Light Rail and it is loud enough to wake them at nights; and the gag rule was put in place to protect property values of homeowners selling their house. Mr. Tim McNamara, 6201 Crescent Drive, said he did not agree with the City using the term ‘gag rule’ because it has a negative connotation. He said it was a law put in place to protect homeowners when potential buyers inquire about the railroad track. He said 25 years ago they were talking about putting in a bike trail and now light rail. He said the study in 2001 concluded that rail was not feasible and cost has not declined since then. B. 2018 Neighborhood and MSA Street Reconstruction Projects Planner Nolan said he was looking for general input at this time in reference to Living Streets, sidewalks, and transportation-related feedback. He said a detailed feasibility report for each project would be prepared and presented at a later date. Draft Minutes☒ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: 3 • West 62nd Street Planner Nolan was asked about the temporary closure and he explained that the closure was for three weeks for residents to experience the closure, to see what comments staff would receive, and observe traffic patterns. He said the project is not designed yet but staff’s consensus is for a multi-use trail on the north side. • Bredesen Park E Planner Nolan was asked if there could be a pedestrian bridge to connect north Lincoln Drive with south Lincoln Drive and he said there was a pedestrian route here indicated in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. • Concord A and G Planner Nolan was asked if there would be curb and gutter and he said yes. A bike lane was suggested on Virginia Avenue for a future connection to West Shore. • Normandale Park D Planner Nolan said sidewalks are not planned. C. W. 66th Street Traffic and Safety Concerns Commissioner Iyer said he would like to see how they could improve safety and equity, if they plan ahead. His concerns on W. 66th Street included: • Inadequate sidewalk between France Avenue and Ridgeview Drive; • Only two locations where pedestrians can safely cross; • Geographic inequity because the City does not invest in the pedestrian network the same in the southeast quadrant (exclusive of Southdale) compared to other parts of the city; • Patchwork instead of network of sidewalk; • No shoulders; • Backups for long distance during peak hours; • Delayed response for emergency vehicles because of access; • Existing sidewalk not separated from driving lane; • Most important concern is the intersection at Valley View Road and W. 66th Street, which he described as a disaster waiting to happen as drivers run the red light, speeding, and near miss crashes. Continuing, he said this area should be a high priority for the City, especially because a new development is planned for the southeast corner at that intersection. He recommended thinking ahead to avoid patch-like work and to install a roundabout, following Richfield’s example to the east; add sidewalk and shoulders on both sides; and crosswalks. Discussion • Planner Nolan said Hwy 100 to Ridgeview Drive is on the Sidewalk Plan but not within the next 5 years because of costs which could approach $0.5M; • There is an existing sidewalk on the north side of W. 66th Street; • Roundabout may not help with backups and the road would need to be widen for emergency vehicles; • Current Level of Service is fine although there are P.M. queuing issues (based on recent traffic study); • A planned improvement is to remove one free-right turn with the southeast development; • How is the PACS Fund spent? Planner Nolan said three years of expenditure report was presented to the ETC and City Council. He said sidewalks are added or removed based on costs; for example, the Valley View to Gleason sidewalk will be constructed over two years, while W. 58th Street was pushed back to 2020 from 2018. • Roundabouts are confusing for bikers but they slow vehicles. Draft Minutes☒ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: 4 D. Traffic Safety Report of July 5, 2017 Motion was made by commissioner Iyer and seconded by commissioner Miranda to forward the July 5, 2017, TSC report to Council. All voted aye. Motion passed. E. 2018 Transportation Commission Work Plan Planner Nolan said work plans are due to City Council by the end of September and he recommended beginning the discussion now. Chair LaForce explained that the majority of their work should be grounded in the work plan. He said they would use this meeting to answer questions, discuss ideas in August, and finalize the work plan in September. VII. Correspondence And Petitions – None VIII. Chair and Member Comments Commissioner Ahler said a family frisbee festival is planned for next Sunday. Commissioner Miranda said Austin, TX, has reduced bike crashes significantly and asked if the City has crash data. Planner Nolan said the City does track bike crashes along with all types of crashes; however, there are very few that occur in Edina. Commissioner Miranda said a resident on Sunnyside Road did her own traffic study, on a Sunday, for one hour, and sent him the results as part of the 44th & France Small Area Study. She is concerned with the volume and speed of vehicles. Planner Nolan said staff would be doing post reconstruction counts soon on Sunnyside Road. Commissioner Miranda suggested reconnecting Bridge Street to Sunnyslope Road East with a bike and pedestrian bridge. Commissioner Brown thanked the City for removing the rusty steel fence near the cemetery on France Avenue; and he noted that Centerpoint Energy is doing gas main upgrades on France Avenue. IX. Staff Comments • 2017 projects are progressing on schedule. • W. 66th Street & York Avenue - the southeast and northwest free right turns will be removed; project completion is end of August. • Edina, Bloomington and Three Rivers Park District are working jointly on a trail study, CP Corridor Study, to identify a path to connect the Nine Mile Creek Trail in Edina to Hyland in Bloomington. Each agency has contributed $10,000 to the study. Two locations were identified – 1) Cahill to Bush Lake Road alignment (bridge at W. 78th Street is an issue); and, 2) Ohms to W. 74th Street alignment. An open house is planned for September. Planner Nolan would like a commissioner to ride the two routes and provide feedback; he suggested commissioner Richman because she is already familiar with the area. • Lake Edina spur trail connecting the Lake Edina neighborhood to the Nine Mile Creek Trail (under pedestrian bridge at Highway 100) was completed.` • Highway 169 closure is on schedule to reopen at the end of October and Edina’s closure at Dovre and Lincoln will reopen on the same day. • TSC recommended striping a parking lane near the Pamela Park north access road to eliminate issues residents were having getting in and out of their driveways park patrons are parked on the street. • One volunteer is needed from each board and commission to help Human Services disburse grant funds (commitment is three meetings) – commissioner Ruthruff volunteered.

An overview of the comments from the E dina Transportation C ommission will be included in the staff report provided to the C ity C ouncil for their September 19, meeting. AT TAC HME N T S : Description Traffic Safety Report of Augus t 2, 2017 August 17, 2017 Edina Transportation Commission Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator Traffic Safety Report of August 2nd, 2017 Information / Background: The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on July 5. The Transportation Planner, Traffic Safety Coordinator, Police Lieutenant and Assistant City Planner were in attendance for this meeting. The City Engineer, Public Works Director and Traffic Safety Specialist were not able to attend, 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 August 17 Edina Transportation Commission and the September 19 City Council meeting agendas. Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends action: A1. Request to change ‘School Zone’ signage for Cornelia Elementary School • Resident is looking to add ‘End School Zone’ signs on W 70th St • Request to move a current ‘End School Zone’ sign on Cornelia Dr • Signage on W 70th St states when drivers are in a school zone, but no signage stating when they are out of a school zone After review, staff recommends moving an ‘End School Speed’ sign on Cornelia Dr to the north of W 70th St. Staff also recommends adding two ‘End School Speed’ signs on W 70th St. placing one sign for each direction of traveling vehicles. Lastly, staff STAFF REPORT Page 2 recommends moving the ‘School Speed’ sign for westbound traffic roughly 230’ further west to follow guidelines of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. A2. Request to add a speed limit sign on Olinger Blvd for eastbound vehicles • Entering onto Olinger Blvd from Vernon Ave, there is no speed limit sign • Vernon Ave is classified as a ‘Minor Arterial’ road with a 40 MPH speed limit • Olinger Blvd is classified as a ‘Collector’ street with a 30 MPH speed limit • Olinger Blvd has an eastbound ADT of 572 vehicles with an 85% speed of 35.5 MPH • A sidewalk is on the south side of Olinger which borders Bredesen Park After Review, staff recommends placing new speed limit signs on Olinger Blvd as there currently is one sign for westbound traffic, west of Tracy Avenue. After further discussion with Public Works, it is recommended to place two signs for vehicles traveling in both directions on Olinger Blvd given the length of the road and the ADT. Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends no action: B1. Request to add a crosswalk on Tracy Avenue at Arbour Lane • Resident requested a crosswalk at this intersection stating vehicle speeds are high and it is necessary to raise pedestrian awareness in this location • Tracy and Arbour is located one block south of Countryside Elementary School • Bike lanes are on each side of Tracy Ave • 85% Vehicle speeds at this location are 29.6 MPH • ADT is 5,935 with a peak hour of 775 at 5:15 PM • Total pedestrian crosses in this location was 33/day with a 2 hour peak of 12 crosses at 3:30 PM STAFF REPORT Page 3 • Metro Transit has a north and southbound express bus stop (route 578) • Sight distance from 30 MPH roads require 197’ of stopping distance. Traveling south has 258’ and traveling north has 287’ sight distance. After review, staff recommends not placing a crosswalk as this location does not meet warrants and has adequate sight lines for vehicles. Section D: Other Traffic Safety Items handled D1. A resident requested designated customer parking only signs for businesses at Valley View Rd and Wooddale as Town Hall Station customers are using most of the available parking. The resident was informed this location is privately owned and the business owners must contact the development owners for designated parking. D2. Traffic Safety received many requests in reference to visibility and sight line issues. All of these were forwarded to and completed by the City Forrester. D3. A resident placed a request for a new four-way stop at Tracy Ave and Valley View Rd. The resident was informed this request was reviewed in April 2017 and will be studied at a later date following the opening of Hwy 169- Nine Mile Creek Bridge. D4. A resident was concerned with vehicles not stopping for pedestrians crossing at York and Parklawn Ave. This request was forwarded to the police department. D5. Traffic Safety received requests near 50th and France in reference to parking and pedestrian safety. These requests were forwarded to the City of Minneapolis, as the requests were located on the east side of France Ave. D6. Traffic Safety received many pedestrian crossing requests concerning France Ave. Pedestrians requested increasing crossing times at W65th and W 66th. As France Avenue is a County Road, requests have been forwarded to Hennepin County. STAFF REPORT Page 4 Appendix: Crosswalk Warrants A. Marked crosswalks are placed at locations that are unusually hazardous or at locations not readily apparent as having pedestrian movement. B. Marked crosswalks will only be placed in an area that has 20 or more pedestrian crossings in a two-hour period. C. 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: 1) More than five gaps – pavement marking and signage only. 2) Less than five gaps – add actuated pedestrian signals. D. Crosswalks will not be placed on arterial roads or roads with a speed limit greater than 30 mph unless in conjunction with signalization. E. Other conditions that warrant crosswalks: 1) Routes to schools 2) Locations adjacent to libraries, community centers, and other high use public facilities. 3) Locations adjacent to public parks. 4) Locations where significant numbers of handicapped persons cross a street. 5) Locations where significant numbers of senior citizens cross a street. F. Crosswalks will only be placed at intersections. Date: Augus t 17, 2017 Agenda Item #: VI.C . To:Trans p o rtatio n C o mmis s io n Item Type: O ther F rom:Mark K.

I N TR O D U C TI O N : At the January and F ebruary 2017 E T C meetings former C ommissioner Bass led a discussion regarding how to more equitably prioritize how projects are funded by the P edestrian and C yclist S afety (PAC S ) F und. T his included the choice of criteria as well as the timing and location of such projects. N o recommendations or motions were made by the C ommission at that time. C ommissioner I yer would like to revisit this discussion, and to introduce this topic to the newer E T C members. H andouts prepared by C ommissioner B ass for the previous discussion are attached. AT TAC HME N T S : Description PROPOSED PACS Fund Equity Scoring Criteria Scoring (Handout at Meeting) 11/17/2016 PROPOSED Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety Fund (PACS) Fund Equity Scoring Criteria In selecting projects to be constructed through the PACS fund, the ETC recommends a set of equity- based criteria for prioritizing capital investment in pedestrian and bicycling facilities. This effort is meant to quantifiably evaluate neighborhoods, and ensure that investments are equitably targeted and support [Policy Basis – community vision, comprehensive plan, policy goals]. The criteria are a combination of community, neighborhood, infrastructure and cost characteristics using multiple data sources. Infrastructure projects that rank high are prioritized for investment first. Questions to consider: Are there criteria missing? What points should be assigned? (This conveys community values) What data sources should be referenced? Community Characteristics (PEOPLE) Neighborhood Characteristics (PLACE) Cost Characteristics (MONEY) PACS Fund Capital Project Selection 11/17/2016 Community Characteristics (PEOPLE) 1. Neighborhood concentration of race/ethnicity other than white 2. Density of transit riders in the neighborhood 3. Population density in the neighborhood where the facility is proposed (2 possible points). The more densely populated neighborhoods will be a higher priority. This metric takes into account extra wear and tear on infrastructure in high density areas and the proportional value of public investment dollars per person in those areas. 4. Youth density of the neighborhood where the park is located (3 possible points). The higher the youth density of the neighborhood, the higher it is scored and it is moved up the list for priority. Same logic as the above metric applies with an extra focus on the needs of families and the needs of children who are dependent on sidewalk and bicycle facilities for independent mobility. Neighborhood Characteristics (PLACE) 1. Proportionality of investment (3 possible points if no other facility was constructed in this quadrant in the last year). Referring to the amount of capital invested in each quadrant. 2. Neighborhood safety – history of crashes or crime (2 possible points). Neighborhood crime statistics are looked at to determine need, with more crashes or crime in an area resulting in a higher score and increased priority for capital investment. This is a public health and racial equity approach to crash and crime reduction, grounded in the understanding that these are outcomes of disinvestment. 3. Active Routes to School Sidewalk 4. Indicated in the Comprehensive Plan (Sidewalk Facilities Map or Master Bicycle Plan) 5. Resident petition – petition for sidewalk submitted by residents, based on their experience living in this place Cost Characteristics (MONEY) 6. Asset lifespan (3 possible points). Facilities are evaluated and higher points are given to infrastructure more than five years past its lifespan. 7. Asset condition (5 possible points). Assets in worse condition receive higher priority for rehab. 8. Part of neighborhood reconstruction project 9. Part of state-aid reconstruction project 10. Estimated cost of project relative to remaining PACS Fund budget 11. Additional funding/grant opportunities 12.
