September 17, 2020
Transportation Commission
Nick Bauler, Traffic Safety Coordinator
Traffic Safety Report of September 1, 2020
Information / Background:
The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on September 1. The Traffic
Safety Coordinator, City Engineer, Streets Public Service Worker, Transportation Planner, Police Sergeant,
Public Works Director and Assistant City Planner were in attendance for these meetings.
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, they can submit correspondence to the Transportation Commission and/or to City Council
prior to the October 7 regular meeting.
Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends action
A1. Request for a crosswalk over West 54th Street at Brookview Avenue
• Resident is concerned with the level of safety
for school-aged kids crossing to Arden Park.
• Brookview Avenue is stop controlled.
• W 54th is stop controlled at Minnehaha Blvd
(400’ east of intersection)
• W 54th ADT in 2012 was 2350
• Sidewalks are present on both sides of West
54th Street and Brookview Avenue north of
West 54th Street.
• No crashes have been reported at this
intersection in the past 10 years.
• 2020 24-hour video count measured 464
crosses, 71 crosses at the peak hour (4:15 pm)
Staff recommends installing a crosswalk on the east side of the intersection to connect to
the new sidewalk along Arden Park.
West 54th Street/Brookview Avenue
STAFF REPORT Page 2
A2. Request to improve crosswalk on West 62nd Street at Pamela Park entrance
• Resident is concerned vehicles are not
yielding for crossing pedestrians.
• Crosswalk was installed during 2018 street
reconstruction project.
• Crosswalk connects the shared-use-path on
the south side of West 62nd Street to the
park path.
• A curb extension is present on the south
side to shorten crossing distance (22’).
• No crashes have been reported at this intersection in the past 10 years.
• Out of 230 crosses in one day, six instances were observed of vehicles not yielding
to pedestrians.
Staff recommends adding State Law crosswalk signage to the existing posts to
increase visibility for drivers.
Section B: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends no action
B1. Request to review stop control at West Shore
Drive and Hibiscus Avenue.
• Resident inquired whether stop controls
could be moved from West Shore Drive to
Hibiscus Avenue.
• West Shore Drive is offset at this
intersection.
• Streets were reconstructed in 2013; West
Shore Drive south of Hibiscus Avenue was
narrowed and realigned.
• 2020 video count observed vehicle and
pedestrian volumes of:
i. 567 and 202, respectively, on West
Shore Drive
ii. 334 and 302, respectively, on Hibiscus Avenue.
• No crashes have been reported at this intersection in the past 10 years.
Staff recommends no action. The intersection layout, traffic volumes and crash history do
not warrant changing the current stop control condition.
West 62nd Street, facing west
West Shore Drive/Hibiscus Avenue
STAFF REPORT Page 3
B2. Stop sign location at southeast corner of Normandale Road and South View Lane
• Edina Public Schools maintenance staff is
noted the current sign location impedes
winter maintenance operations.
• Work vehicles have reportedly hit the post
past due to it being mounted in the 5’
concrete sidewalk.
• The existing sidewalk is proposed to be
upgraded to a shared-use path.
Staff recommends keeping the stop sign in its
current location. Public Works will replace the
imbedded post with a surface-mounted break-
away post for easy replacement if it is hit in the
future.
B3. Request for a Blind Driveway sign for southbound Gleason Road past Creek Valley Road
• Resident at 6500 Gleason Road is concerned
with the visibility of their driveway to
southbound traffic.
• The property has a horseshoe driveway
entrance off Gleason Road.
• Site lines north of the driveway are impeded
by private trees and vegetation.
• A horizontal curve sign is present with a
posted advisory speed on 20 mph.
• No crashes have been reported here in the
past 10 years.
Staff recommends no changes. Sight lines are primarily obstructed by the property
owner’s trees and vegetation. Trimming the vegetation would provide more benefit than
additional signage.
B4. Complaint of vehicle speeds on West 72nd Street
• Resident is requesting ways to slow vehicles
on West 72nd Street.
• W 72nd Street is uncontrolled between
France Avenue and Cornelia Drive.
• ADT and 85% speeds were observed at;
i. 1,865 vehicles and 33.8 mph,
respectively, in 2020
ii. 2,180 vehicles and 33.6 mph,
respectively, in 2012.
• A sidewalk is present on the north side of
West 72nd Street.
• On-street parking is restricted on both sides
between France Avenue and Lynmar Lane but is otherwise permitted along the corridor.
• West 72nd Street is classified as a Local Connector in the Living Streets Plan, with a
recommended design width of 24’ with a sidewalk (currently 30’).
• No crashes have been reported east of Oaklawn Avenue in the past 10 years other than
one crash at the intersection with France Avenue in 2016 involving a cyclist.
Normandale Road/South View Lane
Gleason Road/Creek Valley Road
West 72nd Street
STAFF REPORT Page 4
Staff recommends no changes at this time. This street and the surrounding neighborhood
is anticipated for reconstruction in the next 10 years. Staff recommends EPD deploy the
mobile speed trailer to raise driver awareness of vehicle speeds.
Section C: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends further study
C1. Request to review stop controls at West 59th Street and Kellogg Avenue
• Resident is concerned with drivers not
stopping at stop signs.
• West 59th Street is stop controlled.
• On-street parking is restricted on the north
side of West 59th Street east of Kellogg
Avenue.
• 2020 turn count observed 1,074 vehicles and
pedestrians entering the intersection:
i. 26% (279) traveling north/south
ii. 74% (795) traveling east/west
iii. 25 vehicles failed to stop (3% of
east/west traffic).
• Two crashes have been reported at this
intersection in the past 10 years:
i. June 2019, eastbound vehicle failed
to stop
ii. February 2020, northbound bus turning left hit a parked car.
• West 58th Street one block to the north is currently closed for roadway reconstruction.
Staff recommends reviewing this intersection after completion of the West 58th Street
project as the collected data is likely impacted by the current closure.
C2. Request for a pedestrian ramp on Kellogg
Avenue adjacent to Edina Flats (4416 Valley View
Road)
• A public sidewalk was constructed on the
east side of the property in 2019.
• The sidewalk connects to the existing
pedestrian curb ramp at Valley View Road
and ends four feet from the driveway at 6104
Kellogg Avenue.
• The end of the sidewalk is approximately
115’ south of West 61st Street.
• No additional sidewalks are proposed for
Kellogg Avenue.
Staff recommends further discussion. Staff will measure the boulevard slope to determine
if an ADA-compliant ramp can be easily installed. Other options include using the driveway
of 6104 Kellogg Avenue as a ramp or extending the sidewalk further north to West 61st
Street.

STAFF REPORT Page 5
Section D: Other traffic safety items handled

data revealed vehices 2 axles or larger accounted for roughly 18% of overall traffic, which is and acceptable
percentage. No further action is recommended.

Street, Dundee Road and Gleason Road. Observed 85% speeds were 24, 25.4, 28.2, 29 and 30.7 mph,
respectively, which are all near or below the posted speed limits. No further action is recommended.

forwarded to EPD.
D5. An RRFB on Halifax Avenue near Nolan Mains was hit by a vehicle. EPD moved the device out of the
roadway and it has since been repaired.

The dates shown on the map represent the anticipated years of reconstruction and are subject to change based on budgetary issues, adjacent projects, and other factors.Not all bituminous roadways within the City are shown. If a road is not highlighted, then the potential reconstruction date is beyond the City’s 5-year planning process.
The City of Edina’s street improvement policy is to assess residents for a portion of the roadway reconstruction costs. Public utility improvements are paid for from the City’s Utility Fund.
Extensive evaluation regarding the condition of the pavement, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and watermain is used to set the priority of roadway improvements.
