Draft Minutes☒
Approved Minutes☐
Approved Date:
• #2 Street Funding Task Force – No update.

• #6 Traffic Impact Studies & TDM – Council reviewed a sketch plan for 4917 Eden Ave, TIS
is being prepared.
C. Local Speed Limit Discussion
The Commission discussed staff’s recommendation for reducing speed limits citywide. Comments from
Commissioners included:
• Some Commissioners wrote to City Council in support of 20 mph default speed limits.
• The City should make sure the change is meaningful, and 20 mph is a safer speed.
• Safety data supports a lower speed limit, and it accommodates multi-modal transportation.
• Costs have not been presented yet. It seems inappropriate for Commission to provide a
recommendation without considering cost.
• Would rather see the City construct more sidewalk and bike lanes than install/replace signs.
• The catalyst for this evaluation was Council direction, new legislative authority and guiding
documents like the Comprehensive Plan and the Living Streets Plan.
• What is the difference between 20 mph and 25 mph? Just because Minneapolis is doing
something does not mean Edina should as well.
• What is the rush to make this change now? How many traffic fatalities does Edina have? Why
not wait to see how things go for other cities?
• Like the idea of 20 mph, but not for Edina.
• Important to account for the pandemic’s impact on public engagement. If people are not able to
provide input, they are more likely to see this change as an inconvenience. The City should ask
for input when people have the capacity.
• Having examples from other cities would be helpful. The report references cities that are not
comparable to Edina.
• The City can be a leader rather than waiting to see the successes/failures of other cities. The
supporting data may not be perfect, but the rationale is consistent with common sense. Cost is
a factor, but it is not the Commission’s area of expertise.
• Can we break down where people are concerned about speed? If concerns are mostly on roads
the City does not control, the changes will not be as effective. France Ave is one of the most
unfriendly pedestrian areas in the city.
• After the last meeting, the impression was that the Commission was supportive of the 25-mph
approach.
• Staff is not explicitly asking the Commission for a recommendation, but they can provide one to
Council, if desired.
• Generally, the uniform approach is less expensive. The relative cost is important to note.
• Based on the lack of engagement, maybe this should not be a City priority right now.
Draft Minutes☒
Approved Minutes☐
Approved Date:
• There may be unintended consequences to making this change; the City should take its time.
• Speed limits impact people’s perception of safety as well as their actual safety.
VI. Chair and Member Comments
A. Street Funding Task Force Update
Commissioner Scherer was absent; no update was provided.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the traffic safety report will be available before next month’s meeting. Staff
clarified that it will be included in the agenda packet online.
Commissioner Lafferty is enjoying being on the Commission.
Commissioner McCarthy enjoyed the discussion tonight and hearing the viewpoints of others.
Commissioner Richman noted that annual elections will take place at the next meeting and Commissioners
should consider whether they would like to serve as Chair or Vice Chair. Richman will participate in
interviews for prospective Commissioners; the ETC has one vacancy. Richman recommends that current
Commissioners are ask what skill set they would like as part of next year’s interview process.
VII. Staff Comments
• Hennepin County has placed traffic cameras on France Ave between W 54th St and Highway 62
where restriping occurred. After a week, they will review the footage for instances of unsafe traffic
behavior.
• Bird approached the City about scooters; staff informed them that this is not a priority at this time.
• Metro Transit announced a construction delay for SWLRT; it will likely not open in 2023 as
previously anticipated.

2020 Traffic Safety Summary Report

2020 Traffic Safety Summary Report
Information / Background:
The Engineering Department received 157 traffic safety requests in 2020. Requests are received by phone,
mail, email and online submissions from the City’s website. Each request may require data collection and
analysis by the Traffic Safety Coordinator prior to being reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee. 158
requests were reviewed and completed in 2020, an increase of seven requests from 2019; this includes one
request received in 2019. Requests are assigned to one of five categories; Traffic Calming, Parking and
Signage, Intersection Control, Pedestrian Safety or Other (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Traffic Safety Requests Reviewed in 2020
Nearly 26% of all traffic safety requests are reviewed by the Traffic Safety Committee. These are categorized
as A (recommended approval), B (recommended denial/no change) or C (recommend further study) items
in traffic safety reports. Many requests are handled solely by the Traffic Safety Coordinator and not
reviewed by the entire Committee. These are generally requests for increased police enforcement or for
matters governed by existing City policies (crosswalks, signage, traffic signals, etc.). These are categorized as
D items. Table 1 shows the full breakdown of requests reviewed in 2020.

Table 1. 2020 Traffic Safety Requests by Type
The Traffic Safety Committee reviewed and recommended approval of 21 requests (A items) and denial of
20 (B items). 117 requests were handled by the Traffic Safety Coordinator (D items). Parking and Signage
received the highest number of approvals (10), followed by Pedestrian Safety (7) and Traffic Calming &
Intersection Control (2).
Figure 2 shows the 2020 traffic safety requests by month received. There was a significant increase in
requests in May, likely a result of the ending of the Governor’s stay-at-home order and the beginning of road
closures related to construction projects. These projects included the W 58th Street reconstruction project,
completion of Nolan Mains redevelopment at 50th & France and redevelopment at West 66th Street & /York
Ave.

Traffic Safety Report of January 26, 2021
Information / Background:
The Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) review of traffic safety matters occurred on January 26. 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 March 2 regular meeting.
Section A: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends action
A1. Request for crosswalk markings over Cahill Rd and Amundson Ave at W 70th St
• Resident is requesting markings following
completion of shared-use path on south side
of W 70th St.
• The new SUP connects to the Nine Mile
Creek Regional Trail.
• Both locations are stop-controlled.
• 132 pedestrian crossing were observed in
one day with a peak hour of 22 crosses.
• One crash was reported at Cahill Rd and W
70th St in the last 10 years.
• Current pedestrian crossing policy
recommends marked crosswalks at multi-use
trail crossings.
Staff recommends installing crosswalk markings at both locations as warranted by the
current crossing policy.
W 70th St at Cahill Rd and Amundson Ave
STAFF REPORT Page 2
Section C: Items on which the Traffic Safety Committee recommends further study
C1. Request to slow traffic on northbound
Normandale Rd between W 70th St and W 66th St
• Existing typical section (from west to east)
includes a 6’ shoulder, 12’ drive lane, and 8’
parking lane.
• Parking is restricted on the west side.
• 85-percentile speeds range from 35-36.8 mph.
• Normandale Rd is scheduled for an overlay in
2021.
• A sidewalk is recommended along
Normandale Rd in the future.
• Suggested solutions include updating lane
striping, installing curb extensions or
narrowing the roadway.
Staff recommends reviewing future sidewalk plans
to possibly coincide with future road work.
Section D: Other traffic safety items handled
D1. A request was made for a crosswalk on Halifax Ave between W 50th St and W 51st St at the entrance of
the parking lot. The resident was concerned with seniors crossing at this location. A crosswalk did not meet
warrants as two signalized crossings are nearby and minimum crosses were not reached.
D2. A submission was made about trucks blocking a driveway on Grimes Ave while possibly working on
utilities. Upon review, the company was working on soil borings prior to a future reconstruction project.
The resident was informed, and the crew completed its work.
D3. A spotlight was reported to be directed towards Gleason Rd from a residence causing visual impairment
at night and continued placement of political signs in place. The Planning Department was informed and
contacted the resident regarding these concerns.
D4. A resident was concerned with excess turnaround traffic on Long Brake Trl and requested a No Outlet
sign. Upon video analysis, the amount of traffic on Long Brake Trl was consistent with the number of homes
within the cul-de-sac and no sign is warranted.
D5. A resident contacted the City stating 30 mph speed limit signs were incorrectly replaced on W 58th St
between France Ave and Xerxes Ave as part of the recent reconstruction project. The resident was
informed that since the on-street bike lanes were removed as part of the project, the 25-mph speed limit
was no longer permitted by State Aid guidelines.
D6. A resident was concerned with drivers not stopping for pedestrians crossing Interlachen Blvd at
Vandervork Ave. This crossing meets the City’s warrants and the EPD was advised to consider additional
enforcement.
D7. A request was made for additional crossing treatments at W 42nd St and Grimes Ave as a resident
mentioned vehicles are failing to stop for crossing students. The current crosswalk meets warrants and the
EPD advised to consider additional enforcement.
Normandale Rd between W 66th St and W 70th St
STAFF REPORT Page 3
D8. A request was made for all-way stop control at Mirror Lakes Dr and Northwood Dr. This request was
previously reviewed by the Committee and no warrants were met. Since there has been no significant
changes to adjacent traffic patterns, staff continues to recommend no action.
D9. A request was made to reduce the restrictions for no-right-turn-on red from southbound Normandale
Rd to westbound W 70th St. Restrictions are Monday-Friday from 6 am to 6 pm and were implemented to
add gaps in traffic to improve safety for southbound vehicles on Rabun Dr, approximately 200 feet west of
the intersection. Staff recommends no changes to current safety restrictions.
D10. A concern was raised regarding vehicles failing to stop at the intersection of W 70th St and Cahill Rd.
This request was forwarded to the EPD for enforcement.
D11. A resident requested a speed study on Hibiscus Ave for data to clarify need for a sidewalk. As City
Council approved staff’s recommendation not to construct a sidewalk on Hibiscus Ave last year, a
justification study was deemed unnecessary.
D12. A request was made for a crosswalk over Valley View Rd at Hillside Rd. The resident was concerned
with their kids crossing from the south side of Valley View Rd. Since there is no sidewalk connection on the
south side and few properties, staff believes a crosswalk would not be warranted.
