INTRODUCTION: ATTACHMENTS: Description DRAFT Minutes: Edina Transportation Commission December 20, 2018 Draft Minutes☒ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: Minutes City Of Edina, Minnesota Transportation Commission Community Conference Room December 20, 2018 I. Call To Order Chair Richman called the meeting to order II. Roll Call Answering roll call were commissioners Ahler, Ayelomi, Johnson, Kane, McCarthy, Olson, Richman, Ruthruff, Scherer, Veluvali Absent: Commissioner Zimbwa III. Approval Of Meeting Agenda Motion was made by commissioner Ahler and seconded by commissioner Johnson to approve the agenda. All voted aye. Motion carried. IV. Approval Of Meeting Minutes Motion was made by commissioner Olson and seconded by commissioner Ahler approving the November 15, 2018 meeting minutes. All voted aye. Motion carried. V. Community Comment None. VI. Reports/Recommendations A. Comprehensive Plan Update: Draft Transportation Chapter • The ETC provided the following comments on the transportation chapter of the comprehensive plan: o Change the word efficient to effective under the overview section where mobility needs is mentioned. o Bring themes up front. o Put biking and pedestrian sections first in the network before roadways. o Include detail of chapter contents in the table of contents. o Use the green box to call out important things in the chapter so they don’t get buried in the text. o Specific comments in regards to the chapter and the Southdale District Plan comments from planning commission were discussed. Some ETC members do not feel that the comments would work and are unrealistic. The focus on balancing cars, bikes and pedestrians needs to be emphasized. If we remove access for cars to the Southdale area, people will stop going there. The plan is contradictory to what the transportation chapter is trying to achieve, page 15 of the chapter was referenced. If Draft Minutes☒ Approved Minutes☐ Approved Date: the population in the district increases, we can’t reduce lanes for cars. This will be especially difficult for the aging population with mobility needs. B. Approved 2019 Transportation Commission Work Plan • The lead commissioners will be filled out in the plan during the January meeting. • The focus will be planning for 2019. C. Traffic Safety Report of December, 2018 Discussion regarding item A2: is the sign far enough south to see when coming out of the community center on Benton? Motion was made by commissioner Johnson and seconded by commissioner Kane to approve the December 4, 2018 Traffic Safety Report. All voted Aye. Motion Carried. VII. Chair And Member Comments • Commissioner Olson asked when the new member applications were due and if anyone was terming out. • Commissioner Kane said that the work we and staff have done is great but we are still missing working with the city on some items. • Commissioner Scherer asked if the curb cut on 66th will be going in. • Commissioner Ahler said the development on France and Sunnyside was approved. She also asked about the utility pole on the island being moved and since that is happening now can we eliminate the island but still accommodate trucks turning. • Commissioner Johnson asked about the Edina Challenge Group presenting to the ETC about transportation options for youth. • Commissioner Ayelomi asked if police enforce/ticket when cars park in spaces that are not assigned to them in private, reserved parking areas. • Commissioner McCarthy asked if 7200/7250 France is going to include a Woonerf. A street that cars and pedestrians share that doesn’t have designated areas for walking or driving. And should we consider this for future developments? • Commissioner Richman said that the city maintained its bronze status for a Bicycle Friendly Community. Some feedback about the rating was that Edina is slow to develop bike lanes and if the city is making progress, don’t wait four years to apply again. VIII. Staff Comments • Staff will be recommending that MOU with Lime be extended through 2019. Lime may be looking at phasing in e-bikes and getting better scooters. • Metro Transit E-Line aBRT held two open houses and there seemed to be support towards the France alignment versus the York alignment.

To:Transportation Commission Item Type: Other From:Mark Nolan, AICP, Transportation Planner Item Activity: Subject:Transportation Impact Analysis Education Discussion CITY OF EDINA 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 www.edinamn.gov ACTION REQUESTED: None. INTRODUCTION: The ETC's initial draft of it's 2019 work plan included the following initiative: "Gain a working understanding of the transportation impact analysis (traffic study) process in order to interpret results and provide effective input, and educate the public regarding the same." As you recall, the City Manager recommended that this item be removed from the Commission's work plan (to which the City Council agreed). However, staff feels that the existing engineering professional services budget may be used to hire a consultant to "train" the ETC on this subject in 2019 (which could be recorded for the benefit of future commissioners). This does not require Council approval. Regarding public education on this topic: staff feels that either the public could be invited to this training, or this could be included in initiative #4 (Outreach/education campaign regarding ped/bike/motorist safety). Chair Richman is asking the ETC to consider these possibilities and to discuss them at the January meeting. Date: January 17, 2019 Agenda Item #: VI.C.
