City of Bloomington
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Ordinance
(adopted 12-7-09)
SEC. 21.301.09 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM)
(a) Purpose and intent. The purpose of Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) is to promote more efficient utilization of existing transportation
facilities, reduce traffic congestion and mobile source pollution, and to
ensure that new developments are designed in ways to maximize the
potential for alternative transportation usage. TDM is a combination of
services, incentives, facilities and actions that reduce single occupancy
vehicle (SOV) trips to help relieve traffic congestion, allow parking flexibity,
and reduce air pollution.
(b) Applicability. Recognizing that development size and land use type
directly affect traffic generation, the City has established two levels of TDM
program applicability:
(1) A Tier 1 TDM program is required for all new development and/or
redevelopment consisting of:
(A) New developments where the City Code requires the provision of
more than 350 parking spaces attributable to office, institutional,
industrial, and warehouse uses;
(B) New non-residential developments seeking flexibility from the
standard parking requirements in accordance with City Code
Section 21.301.06 (e) (3);
(C) Redevelopment and/or additions to existing non-residential
development that result in a 25 percent or greater increase in
parking spaces attributable to office, institution, industrial, and
warehouse uses, and the total amount of required parking
attributable to office, institution, industrial, and warehouse uses
is 350 or more spaces; or
(D) Other development as required by City Council condition.
(2) A Tier 2 TDM program is required for new non-residential
development, non-residential redevelopment, and/or additions to
existing development over 1,000 square feet in floor area, provided a
Tier 1 TDM program is not required.
(3) The following uses shall be exempt from Tier 1 TDM program
requirements:
(A) Places of assembly;
(B) Schools (K-12);
(C) Parks and recreational facilities; and
(D) Other institutional uses that are not customarily in operation
between the peak weekday traffic period (6:30-9:00 AM and
3:00-6:00 PM)
(c) TDM Plan Requirements. Mandatory TDM Plan requirements for the two
levels include:
(1) Tier 1 TDM Program.
(A) A TDM study prepared by a qualified traffic consultant that
includes:
(i) A description of the projected transportation and parking
impacts of the development at full site development,
forecasts of SOV trips generated and the likely timing of
Final TDM Ordinance (adopted 12-7-09)
2
those trips, and anticipated parking demand. The TDM
study must be conducted in accordance with accepted
methodology approved by the Director of Public Works or
the Director’s designee. If determined to be a Special
Study subject to the requirements of City Code Section
19.14 (b) (5), the traffic study must be prepared by an
independent traffic engineering professional under the
supervision of the Director of Public Works or the Director’s
designee, and paid for by the applicant.
(B) A TDM plan prepared by the property owner that includes:
(i) A description of the TDM goals, including peak hour SOV
trip reduction goals;
(ii) Description of TDM strategies and implementation
measures and the anticipated SOV trip reduction
associated with each strategy. The TDM measures may
include, but are not limited to: on-site transit facilities,
preferential location of car and van pool parking,
telecommuting, on-site bicycle and pedestrian facilities and
employer subsidized transit passes;
(iii) Description of the evaluation measures and process that
will be used to determine the effectiveness of the TDM
strategies used and progress toward achieving the SOV
trip reduction goals; and
(iv) Proposed total expenditures to implement the TDM
strategies for at least three years following the issuance of
the Certificate of Occupancy.
(C) A TDM agreement prepared by the City Attorney’s office,
executed by the property owner and the City, and filed by the
property owner with the records for that property in the Registrar
of Titles’ or Recorder’s Office of Hennepin County with proof
thereof presented to the Issuing Authority prior to issuance of a
building permit;
(D) A financial guarantee in the amount established by the TDM
program schedule set forth in the TDM Policies and Procedures
Document maintained by the Director of Public Works; and
(E) An annual status update report in the format specified in the
TDM Policies and Procedures Document maintained by the
Director of Public Works, or otherwise approved by the Director
or the Director’s designee, hereinafter referred to as the “Annual
Status Report”.
(2) Tier 2 TDM Program.
(A) A basic Tier 2 TDM Plan describing the TDM strategies the
property owner agrees to implement to reduce peak SOV trip
generation that is prepared in the format specified in the TDM
Policies and Procedures Document maintained by the Director of
Public Works or otherwise approved by the Director or the
Director’s designee.
(d) Financial Guarantee. The property owner must provide a financial
guarantee prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy to ensure
implementation of TDM strategies and progress towards meeting the
approved TDM Plan goals when a Tier 1 TDM plan is required. The
financial guarantee rate is established by the TDM program schedule set
forth in the TDM Policies and Procedures Document maintained by the
Director of Public Works. The financial guarantee may be provided in the
form of cash, bond or a letter of credit at the discretion of the property
owner.
Final TDM Ordinance (adopted 12-7-09)

The City will retain the cash payment, bond or letter of credit for two years
from the date the property owner verifies that occupancy of the leasable
area of the development has reached 30 percent. This date shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Initial TDM Plan Implementation Date”.
(e) Administration. The Director of Public Works or the Director’s designee
will administer Tier 1 and Tier 2 TDM plans, including, but not limited to:

(f) Compliance. A property owner or its successors and assigns must
demonstrate a good faith effort to implement strategies described in an
approved Tier 1 TDM Plan by submitting an Annual Status Report within 30
days of the one year and two year anniversary dates of the Initial TDM Plan
Implementation Date. The Director of Public Works or the Director’s
designee will review the Annual Status Reports, within 30 days of receipt, to
determine if a good faith effort has been made to implement the strategies
described in an approved Tier 1 TDM Plan or otherwise achieve the
approved TDM Plan goals. The Annual Status Report must include at least
the following:
(1) Results of the survey questions included in the TDM Annual Status
Report model specified in the TDM Policies and Procedures
Document maintained by the Director of Public Works, compiled using
the model format or a format otherwise approved by the Director of
Public Works or the Director’s designee, to determine the
effectiveness and participation in TDM strategies;
(2) Documentation of annual expenditures made to implement TDM
strategies; and
(3) Documentation of the implementation of TDM strategies listed in the
approved Tier 1 TDM Plan and an evaluation of the success of each
strategy based on the survey results, as well as, at the option of the
property owner, any other verifiable method of measurement such as
a follow-up traffic study.
(g) Release of the TDM Financial Guarantee. If the property owner or its
successors and assigns demonstrates a good faith effort to implement the
strategies set forth in the approved Tier 1 TDM Plan as demonstrated by
the data contained in the consecutive Annual Status Reports, the TDM
financial guarantee will be released to the property owner within seven
working days of that determination by the Director of Public Works or the
Director’s designee.
(h) Forfeiture of the TDM Financial Guarantee. Failure to comply with the
provisions of an approved Tier 1 TDM plan constitutes a violation of this
Section of the City Code.
(1) If the property owner or its successors or assigns fails to submit timely
Annual Status Report that document a good faith effort to implement
the strategies set forth in their approved Tier 1 TDM Plan, the Director
of Public Works or the Director’s designee may direct that the TDM
financial guarantee continue to be held for a period of up to another
12-months at the end of which an additional Annual Status Report
must be submitted. The TDM financial guarantee at the end of the
additional period will be either released or forfeited based upon the
Director of Public Works or the Director’s designee’s determination of
whether or not the property owner has demonstrated a good faith
Final TDM Ordinance (adopted 12-7-09)
4
effort to implement the TDM strategies set forth in the approved TDM
Plan or otherwise achieve the TDM Plan goals.
(2) If the Director of Public Works of the Director’s designee determines
on the basis of the Annual Status Reports that the failure to implement
the strategies set forth in the Tier I TDM Plan or otherwise achieve the
TDM Plan goals is attributable to inexcusable neglect on the part of
the property owner or its successors and assigns, the financial
guarantee will be immediately forfeited to the City.
(i) Appeals. The property owner or its successors or assigns may appeal the
forfeiture or continued holding of the TDM financial guarantee or imposed

Sample Travel Demand Management Plan
April 2018
Mission Statement:
The Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan for ________ is established to reduce
single occupant vehicle travel to the property by 15% by the end of 2018, which is anticipated
to be three years after this building opens. _________ also desires to reduce the demand for
parking at its property.
There will be approximately _____ employees at this location and the TDM goal for the
employee population is to have at least _____ employees using an alternative to driving alone
for their commute by the end of _____.
________ will use a variety of travel demand management strategies to achieve said goals.
Transportation Demand Management
TDM strategies enhance the existing regional transportation infrastructure to provide more
convenient opportunities for employees to utilize sustainable forms of transportation rather
than single occupant vehicle trips. TDM includes a mix of strategies, as further described in this
plan, to encourage transit use, carpooling, vanpooling, bicycle commuting, walking and
telework (working from home).
It is expected that the TDM Plan will contribute positively to the business as a desirable place to
work.
Program elements are to be designed and administered in a manner that emphasizes
commitment to achieving the plan goals.
Program Goals
1. Education and Awareness. Inform and educate all employees at __________ about the
availability of alternatives to commuting by single occupant vehicle. Inform employees
about the resources and incentives available to alternative mode users.
2. Create a Sustainable Commute Program. Significantly increase the convenience,
availability and attractiveness of alternatives to single occupant vehicle commuting and
provide for reductions in single occupant vehicle trips through programs that support
transit, carpooling, bicycling, walking and working from home.
3. Parking Management. Develop and manage parking assets in ways that reduce the
demand for parking spaces.
4. Incentives. Establish an incentive-based TDM program which is available to all
employees.
5. Community Impact. Mitigate negative impacts of employee generated vehicle trips on
the surrounding community, including traffic congestion and parking spillover into
adjacent areas and on adjacent community features.
6. Commitment to Resources. Determine the costs and resources needed to develop and
administer the TDM plan and develop mechanisms by which to commit needed
resources.
7. Evaluate performance on an ongoing basis.
Strategies for Achieving the TDM Plan Goals
Upon completion of construction of the property, there will be various TDM elements available
to employees including but not limited to:
1. A Transportation Coordinator (a single point of contact to coordinate commute
programs)
2. Offer Employees Free or Subsidized Pre-Tax Discounted Transit Passes (Metropass, Go
To Cards)
3. Preferential Carpool Parking Spaces for Carpoolers (signed spaces closest to main
entrances)
4. Financial Incentive for Carpoolers (could be in the form of gas gift cards)
5. Preferential Vanpool Parking Spaces for Vanpoolers (when a vanpool is formed)
6. Financial Incentive for Vanpoolers
7. Loaner Bicycles Available to Check-Out for Short Term Use (to bicycle for errands or to
food establishments and as a means to reduce the need for a vehicle after arriving at
work)
8. Bicycle Storage (such as bicycle lockers, indoor hooks, indoor bike storage room)
9. Bicycle Racks
10. Air Pump
11. Bicycle Repair Station/Tools
12. Access to Shower Facilities for Bicycle Commuters

Mall of America
Draft Travel Demand Management Plan
June 2014
Mission Statement:
The Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan for the Mall of America is established to
reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV) travel to the property, by all staff, employees and tenants
who work at the property by 14% by Spring 2017. Additionally, the Mall desires to reduce the
demand for parking at its property.
There are approximately 1,000 employees and staff employed directly by MOA and an
additional 300 Radisson Blu hotel employees and an additional 11,000 employees at tenant
stores. After the final development of Phase 1C, the property will add an additional 1,000
employees at the new hotel, retail and restaurant space for a total of 13,300 workers at the
property.
The Mall of America has a goal to have at least 1,000 people who work at the property using an
alternative to driving alone to work by Spring 2017.
Transportation Demand Management
TDM strategies enhance the existing transportation infrastructure to provide convenient
opportunities for employees to utilize non-SOV forms of transportation. TDM includes a mix of
strategies, as further described in this plan, to encourage transit use, carpooling, vanpooling,
bicycle commuting, walking and telework.
Program elements are to be designed and administered in a manner that emphasizes
commitment to achieving the plan goals.
Program Goals
1. Education and Awareness. Inform and educate all employees and tenants at the Mall
about the availability of alternatives to traveling by SOV. Inform the same groups about
the resources and incentives available to alternative mode users.
2. Create Alternative Commute Program. Significantly increase the convenience,
availability and attractiveness of alternatives to SOV commuting and provide for
reductions of commute trips through programs that support transit, carpooling,
vanpooling, bicycling, walking and teleworking.
3. Parking Management. Develop and manage parking assets in ways that reduce the
demand for parking spaces.
4. Incentives. Establish a broad incentive-based TDM program which is available to all
employees and tenant employees.
5. Community Impact. Mitigate negative impacts of Mall generated travel on the
surrounding community, including traffic congestion and parking spillover into adjacent
areas and on adjacent community features.
6. Commitment to Resources. Determine the costs and resources needed to develop and
administer the TDM plan and develop mechanisms by which to commit needed
resources.
7. Evaluate performance on an ongoing basis.

From: Michael Fischer, Edina City Council and Jo Ann Olsen, Edina Planning Commission
Cc: Commission Staff Liaison
Subject: 2018 Comprehensive Plan Mid-Term Check-In Workshop
Dear Chairs and Vice Chairs,
The City Council and Planning Commission are co-hosting a Comprehensive Plan “Mid-Term check-in”
workshop on Thursday, May 3 from 6-9pm at the public works large meeting room. This workshop is
intended to be a working meeting for advisory groups who have been assigned to work on the 2018
comprehensive plan update.
The goal of the Mid-Term check-in is to share all the great comprehensive plan work being completed
by our Advisory Groups. This check-in will allow us to cross-fertilize the ideas before we get too far
down the line in the planning process.
In addition to your attendance, we are hoping you can invite your team to the event to ensure at least
two members can be in attendance. Each group will have an opportunity to present (up to 3 minutes)
of 3-5 top recommendations to the 2018 Comprehensive Plan that the group believes will have the
greatest influence on the future of the Edina community.
A google form has been created to compile your presentation summary prior to the meeting and
capture who will be attending. We would like members to RSVP and provide the 3-5 top
recommendations by Wednesday, April 25. This should give teams an opportunity to discuss how to fill
out the form at an upcoming meeting prior to the workshop and give us some prep time with the
information in hand.
Before the meeting, think about how you might demonstrate the impact of your top initiatives on our
“Big Picture” map. If you are not aware, the map was used in our “Big Ideas” workshop just prior to
kicking off the comprehensive planning process on April 22, 2017. We have included a few pictures of
that event to give you a flavor for our upcoming workshop when we once again roll out the big map.
We look forward to a fun and creative evening of sharing. Make sure to wear your most colorful socks!
(hint, see attached photos).
If you have any questions, please contact Cary Teague at cteague@edinamn.gov.

April 17 Staff Report to Council
Draft MOU: City of Golden Valley and LimeBike
April 17, 2018
Mayor and City Council
Mark Nolan, AICP, Transportation Planner
Edina Dockless Bike Sharing Pilot Program
Information / Background:
For the past several years Edina residents, the development community and City Council have discussed
with staff the possibility of Edina participating in a bike sharing program. However, the operating model of
the sole provider of such services in the Twin Cities – NiceRide Minnesota – does not offer services beyond
the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Additionally, the infrastructure costs associated with docking stations
can be significant.
At its April 3 meeting, City Council received a presentation about the recent Speak Up, Edina! conversation
regarding bike sharing in Edina. Based on the interest expressed by the community, staff and City officials,
staff would like to continue discussing this topic with Council and ask for their verbal support to proceed
with the preparation of a draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Neutron Holdings, Inc.
(LimeBike) for a trial or “pilot” dockless bike sharing program in 2018. Staff recommends that this trial
service runs from early June to the end of the year. Based on the experiences with LimeBike during the pilot
program, staff will make recommendations regarding future bike sharing arrangements.
Nearby suburban cities (including Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Robbinsdale, New Hope and others) are
also considering agreements with LimeBike; Edina staff has met with staff from these communities (and the
City of Minneapolis) to discuss mutual concerns as well as issues that may arise when bicycles are left in
neighboring communities. This group plans to meet on a monthly basis, should they implement dockless bike
share systems (the City of Minneapolis will be transitioning to a dockless bike share system starting this year
and continuing through 2021 with a different vendor).
Buck Humphrey, representing LimeBike, will give a presentation on how LimeBike’s system works, some of
the lessons learned in other communities, and how they propose to operate a pilot program in Edina. Mr.
Humphrey and City staff will answer questions posed by Council regarding the same.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
For your information, attached is the draft MOU regarding bike sharing services that the City of Golden
Valley is currently considering. The Edina City Attorney has reviewed this MOU and has no issues with it.
Staff anticipates that an Edina/LimeBike MOU might look similar to this and could be considered by the
Council as soon as May 1 with verbal support tonight.
Common Questions About Dockless Bike Sharing and LimeBike
1. Does it cost the agency anything to have them operate in our community?
• No. There is no cost to the City for this service. City staff time will be utilized to monitor
the program as well as to engage with both other jurisdictions and LimeBike, but there is no
financial cost to the City.
2. How does it work?
• Bikes are checked out and unlocked using a cell phone app. Fees are based on the type of
bike and how long it is used.
3. How is dockless (LimeBike) different from dock-based (Nice Ride)?
• Dockless bikes do not require docks. They can be located using either GPS (via a
smartphone app) or by simply finding one on the street. Users ride to their destination and
then lock the bike, leaving it in an appropriate place anywhere that serves their needs.
• Since people can take dockless bikes where they want to go, versus where someone has
decided to place stations, LimeBike can more easily serve diverse neighborhoods and the
needs of all citizens.
• Due to the relatively low cost of building and maintaining a dockless bike sharing operation,
LimeBike is able to keep usage costs low - $1/30 minute ride for their standard pedal bikes.
They also offer discounts for low income populations. Dockless bike sharing can provide
more social equity than dock-based systems.
• LimeBike is innovating quickly. In addition to dock free pedal bikes, they now offer dock free
electric-assist pedal bikes as well as fully electric scooters.
4. Where will the bikes be left?
• LimeBike works with cities to identify best practices; in nearly all cities, bikes are typically
left within the right-of-way in designated areas.
5. Do bikes end up in other locations?
• Yes. LimeBike has staff that service the area to bring bikes back to appropriate locations or
users may be given free uses to return bikes that are outside the designated area. To
provide a service that complements privately owned automobiles, LimeBike gives people the
ability to cross jurisdictional boundaries to get where they want to go.
6. How many bikes will be implemented with the pilot?
• To be determined in collaboration with LimeBike’s City partners. LimeBike is working
toward a summer launch of the western suburbs, and LimeBike’s early data suggests a pilot
of approximately 750-1000 bikes spread across the geography could be appropriate.

After review, staff recommends removing parking restriction on the east side of Bush
Lake Rd and the south side of W 74th St. Staff is also recommending adding signage
indicating “No Parking Here to Corner” at the intersections of Bush Lake and W 74th
and W 76th.
A2. Request to change horizontal alignment signage on Lincoln Dr
Requestor is concerned with vehicles
traveling too fast and causing dangerous
situations for pedestrians
Resident is requesting changing the current
signage looking to raise driver caution while
approaching the turns
A reverse curve sign is currently placed, and
it is requesting to place a reverse turn sign
Lincoln Dr is a State-Aided Collector street
with an ADT of 2,500
A calculated radii of 200’ at this curve,
creates a recommended speed 25 MPH
based on AASHTO measurements
85 % speed collected south of Maloney is
36.5 MPH
After review, staff recommends changing the current signage to a reverse turn sign,
along with adding a 25 mph speed limit placard beneath to inform drivers of
recommended speeds thru the curves along Lincoln Dr.
A3. Request for a pedestrian ramp on W 66th St at
Cornelia Circle
A resident that lives in Cornelia Cir uses the
sidewalk on the north side of W 66th St on a
regular basis and finds it difficult to cross W
66th and ‘hop the curb’ with bicycles and
strollers
Total pedestrian crosses at this location are
seven with a two hour peak of six crosses
ADT on W 66th was 8,161 in 2013 with 85% speed of 33.5 mph
A pedestrian path from Rosland Park leads to this section of W 66th

Map: Location of W 56th and Warwick / Yvonne
After review, staff recommends adding a pedestrian ramp on W 66th St sidewalk to the
north east corner of Cornelia Cir. Staff agrees a marked crosswalk is unwarranted, but
given the features of Cornelia Cir and W 66th St, pedestrians with limited conditions
would benefit from a pedestrian ramp directly north of Cornelia Cir.
Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends no action
B1. Request for all-way stop at W 56th St and Warwick Place / Yvonne Terrace
Resident is concerned with the safety of this
intersection and is requesting an all-way stop
Warwick and Yvonne is stop controlled while
W 56th is uncontrolled
W 56th and Warwick/Yvonne are classified as
local streets
ADT entering this intersection along W 56th
and Warwick/Yvonne is 460 and 90,
respectively
85% speed on W 56th is 28.6 MPH
No crashes have been reported at this intersection in the last five years
After review, staff recommends no action as this intersection does not meet warrants
for all-way stop controls. Staff believes there is no sight line issues or concerns in which
adding all-way stop control will improve the
current level of safety.
B2. Request to restrict parking on Ridgeview Dr,
south of W 63rd St
A resident that travels thru this
neighborhood notices many close-calls when
parking is being utilized on both sides of
Ridgeview
After video review, cars utilized parking on
both sides of Ridgeview during afternoon
hours
Ridgeview is classified as a Local Connector
ADT on Ridgeview is 541
Ridgeview has a width of 29 feet
Traveling east/south from W 63rd a ‘curve’
sign with a 20 MPH placard is present which
recommends drivers lower their speeds
upon approaching this curve

After review, staff recommends no changes. The Traffic Safety Committee agrees
drivers traveling east/south from W 63rd can see a ‘curve’ sign with a 20 MPH speed
placard which signifies a slower speed is necessary when traveling thru this curve.
Section C: Items on which staff recommends further study
C1. Request to change lane designations on Hazelton
Rd at France Ave
A resident was concerned with vehicles
traveling west on Hazelton would turn left
(southbound) onto France from the center
(straight) lane
Westbound lane designations on Hazelton
are left turn, straight and right turn
Hazelton is classified as a state-aid collector
street
The following data shows westbound turning
movements
After review, staff recommends further study regarding vehicle queueing along
westbound Hazelton Rd, turning movements and input from Hennepin County.
Section D: Other traffic safety items handled
D1. A resident contacted traffic safety to report a large pothole which caused damage to their vehicle. Upon
finding the location of the pothole, the construction companies working along 50th & France were informed
of the issue and placed a ‘BUMP’ sign to warn drivers to be cautious when navigating thru this area.
D2. A postal worker was concerned with the level of safety for drivers and pedestrians at the intersection
of W 56th St and Xerxes Ave. This worker requested stop lights at this intersection believing it will increase
overall safety. Upon contacting Hennepin County about this request, no physical changes were
recommended to this intersection, but increasing police patrol should improve the safety of drivers and
pedestrians. EPD was contacted to increase patrol at W 56th and Xerxes.

Appendix A:
All-Way Stop Warrants
Multi-way stop control can be useful as a safety measure at intersections if certain traffic conditions exist.
Safety concerns associated with multi-way stops include pedestrians, bicyclists, and all road users expecting
other road users to stop. Multi-way stop control is used where the volume of traffic on the intersecting
roads is approximately equal.
The restrictions on the use of STOP signs described in Section 2B.4 also apply to multi-way stop
applications. The decision to install multi-way stop control should be based on an engineering study. The
following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multi-way STOP sign installation:
A. Where traffic control signals are justified, the multiway stop is an interim measure that can be
installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic
control signal.
B. Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a
multi-way stop installation. Such crashes include right-turn and left turn collisions as well as right-angle
collisions.
C. Minimum volumes:
1. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of
both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; and
2. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from
the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the
same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per
vehicle during the highest hour; but
3. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the
minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of the values provided in Items 1 and 2.
D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 are all satisfied to 80
percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this condition.
Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:
A. The need to control left-turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian
volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to
negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross traffic is also required to stop; and
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and
operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of
the intersection.
