officer stated he thinks there should be one in that location.

Description
Traffic Safety Report of September 4, 2018
September 20, 2018
Traffic Safety Committee
Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator
Traffic Safety Report of September 4, 2018
Information / Background:
The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on September 4. The Traffic
Safety Coordinator, Traffic Safety Specialist, Public Works Director, Assistant City Planner, City Engineer
and Transportation Planner were in attendance for this meeting. The Police Lieutenant was not able to
attend and was 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 September 20 Edina Transportation Commission and the October 16 City Council meeting agendas.
Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends action
A1. Request for increased pedestrian signage on
Concord Ave
Resident is concerned with the overall level
of safety for children using crosswalks during
the school year
Four crosswalks are located on Concord
Ave, adjacent to South View Middle School
and Concord Elementary
Two crosswalks are located at all-way stop
controls
ADT on Concord is 1620
After review, staff recommends adding
double-sided crosswalk signage where
Concord Ave intersects with Woodland Rd
and Concord Ter as traffic on Concord Ave is
uncontrolled at these intersections. As these are school crossings, supplementary
signage will also be utilized to raise pedestrian awareness in this school zone.
Map: Locations of crosswalks along Concord Ave
STAFF REPORT Page 2
A2. Request for traffic calming along Dewey Hill Rd
Resident is concerned with vehicle speeds
and is requesting a way to slow traffic
ADT is 2,790
85% speed is 35 MPH
A sidewalk is present on the south side of
Dewey Hill
On-street parking is restricted on one side of
Dewey Hill
Dewey Hill is classified as a Collector street
Dewey Hill has a width of 32’
After review, staff recommends adding lane striping to calm traffic. Adding striping is a
modest option that allows parking lanes to be more visible and gives vehicles a smaller
traveling lane which can lead to lower speeds. Permanent changes will be explored
when future road construction takes place in this neighborhood.
A3. Request to change on-street parking restriction
on Xerxes Ave between W 66th and W 67th St
A developer at Xerxes and W 66th St is
requesting to allow on-street parking
Parking has been restricted on the west side
of Xerxes as this was formerly commercially
zoned leading to high number of vehicles
parking on Xerxes
On-street parking is allowed on the east side
of Xerxes
Xerxes has a width of 32’
The east side of Xerxes restricts parking to
2-hour parking from 9 am to 6 pm
A letter was sent to the three adjacent
homes informing potential changes and asking for feedback
After review, staff recommends removing on-street parking restrictions on Xerxes Ave
between W 66th and W 67th St. Staff cites changes should be made as land use in this
area is transitioning towards a more residential use.
A4. Request to add on-street parking along Grandview Square
A request was made to add on-street parking
along the north-west corner of Grandview
Square
This portion of Grandview is the only area
with on-street parking restrictions
Previous reasons to restrict parking has
included fire lanes needing to be available for
temporary garbage cleaning, staging of fire
truck and snow plow concerns
The width of Grandview is 27’
Map: Location of Dewey Hill Rd
Map: Location of Xerxes Ave requesting to remove on
street parking restriction
Map: Location of Grandview Square under review
STAFF REPORT Page 3
After review, staff recommends removing the parking restrictions on the northwest
portion of Grandview Sq. Staff agrees parking will remain restricted within 30’ feet of
each corner to maintain adequate turning access for EMS vehicles.
A5. Request to change the restricted parking times along School Rd and W 59th St
Concord Elementary changed school start
times for 2018-2019
Current parking restrictions on W 59th St
and School Rd are from 8:30 - 4:30
Requested restrictions are from 7:20 - 2:45
Concord Elementary parking lot now only
allows right-turn exits
Pedestrian facilities are present on School Rd
Pedestrian facilities are planned on W 59th St
After review, staff recommends changing the
parking restriction times to match the new school start times. The new restrictions will
take place between 7 am to 3 pm during school days. This will restrict pickup and drop-
off traffic from interfering with overall use of the intersection.
Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends no action
B1. Request to add street signs for Sherwood Rd on Eden Ave
A resident who lives along Richwood Drive
is concerned with the current street signs for
Sherwood Rd at Eden Ave and believes a
new sign would help drivers find Sherwood
easier
The north portion of Sherwood was recently
renamed from Eden Ave, following the
removal of Link Rd
Street signs are present but tend to be
interfered by trees
After review, staff recommends not adding additional street signs for this intersection.
Staff agrees if current signs become blocked, Edina will trim the trees. The Public
Works department has been informed of this concern.
B2. Request for a crosswalk across Gleason Rd at
Gleason Ct
Resident who lives in Gleason Ct is
concerned with no safe crossing over
Gleason to make it to the Ninemile Creek
Regional Trail, on the east side of Gleason
ADT in area is roughly 10,500
Five total pedestrian crosses took place in a
24 hour surveillance
A peak hour of three crosses took place at
9:30 am
28 homes ae located within Gleason Ct
Map: Location new parking restriction signs are
requested
Map: Location of Sherwood Rd & Eden Ave
Map: Location Of Gleason Ct. (note‐ the highlighted
line is the Ninemile Creek Regional Trail)
STAFF REPORT Page 4
After review, staff recommends not adding a crosswalk at this location. Staff cites the
low volume of pedestrians crossing in this area does not warrant a crosswalk.
B3. Request for improved crosswalks at Wooddale
and Sunnyside
Requestor is concerned with the current
brick-paver crosswalk not being visible
enough as drivers pass thru the intersection
Resident believes adding crosswalk signage
will be helpful if a painted crosswalk can’t be
installed
This section of the Country Club
neighborhood was reconstructed in 2008
Wooddale traffic is stop-controlled
This section of Sunnyside and Wooddale has
a signed Bike Lane
After review, staff recommends no change. When this neighborhood was
reconstructed in 2008, residential feedback requested the current crosswalk design.
Any changes to crosswalks in this neighborhood will be reviewed by the Planning
Department (due to its historic designation).
B4. Request for traffic calming along Gleason Rd
Resident is concerned with the level of safety
along Gleason Rd, north of HWY 62
Volume and speed data was collected
between Glacier Place and Gleason Court
Northbound ADT is 5600 and 85% speed is
37 MPH
Southbound ADT is 4900 and 85% speed is
37.4 MPH
A median is present in this area
Widths are 19’ which include a 12’ marked
travel lane and bike lane
A mixed-use path is located to the east of
Gleason (NMCRT)
This portion of Gleason is classified as a Minor Arterial roadway
After review, staff recommended narrowing lane widths in this area as Hennepin
County was restriping Gleason. Hennepin County was unable to make these changes as
the recommendation was made too late in the process. Staff also recommends
increasing speed limit enforcement along this stretch of Gleason.

STAFF REPORT Page 5
Section D: Other traffic safety items handled
D1. A Resident contacted traffic safety with a concern of exit and entrance ramps being closed on
Crosstown HWY MN-62. The resident was informed the closures are temporary and further information
regarding the construction project causing the closures is available on the City’s website.
D2. A resident contacted traffic safety with a concern of parked construction vehicles impeding traffic signs
and fire hydrants along Orchard Ln. After reviewing the issue, the EPD non-emergency number was
contacted and a patrol officer was sent to Orchard Ln to resolve the issue.
D3. Many concerns were brought forth to traffic safety requesting traffic calming along local streets. After
communicating with the requestors, the temporary speed trailer was requested to be placed along Lincoln
Dr, Cornelia Dr, W 50th, W 54th St and W 60th St to raise awareness for traffic.
D4. A resident was concerned with the length of vehicle delay for westbound traffic on W 76th St attempting
to turn right (northbound) onto York Ave. The resident was requesting a designated right-turn only lane as
opposed to a thru-right turn lane. Hennepin County reviewed this request and found the ratio of thru
vehicles to right turns does not warrant a change in lane designation.
D5. A resident contacted traffic safety with a concern of vehicles utilizing on-street parking while impeding
with sight line issues at the intersection of Cooper Ave and Orchard Ln. Upon reviewing the intersection,
the EPD was contacted to enforce on-street parking to allow adequate sight lines.
