I WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES THAT I WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE THE DUTIES AND FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION THE OFFICE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON OF THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA IN STATE OF MINNESOTA TO THE BEST OF MY JUDGMENT AND ABILITY TO THE BEST OF MY JUDGMENT AND ABILITY. CONGRATULATIONS COMMISSIONER CUNNINGHAM. THANKS FOR THOSE WATCHING AT HOME. THOSE ARE BOTH THREE YEAR TERMS WHICH WE'LL GO THROUGH JULY 30TH OF 2027. WE'LL MOVE THEN TO ITEM NUMBER TWO WHICH IS A AT 8301 STANLEY ROAD AND THE THE APPLICANT IS STANLEY TERRACE APARTMENTS AND MS. HABSBURG YOU HAVE THE STAFF REPORT FOR US. GOOD EVENING. GIVE ME 1/2 . OKAY. SO THIS ITEM IS FINAL SAY AND BUILDING PLAN REVISIONS TO CONVERT A SHARED SPACE TO ONE ADDITIONAL LIVING UNIT AT 8301 STANLEY ROAD. SO I WANTED TO NOTE THAT THIS ITEM WAS APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN 2021 BUT THE APPROVAL HAS EXPIRED SO THE APPLICANTS ARE COMING BACK TO APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT. SO PROPERTY IS OWNED ARM 24 AND IT'S GUIDED AS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL SURROUNDING THE PROPERTY. THE ZONING IS TO THE EAST AND SOUTH BEFORE TO THE WEST AND ARM 24 TO THE NORTH THE ADDITIONAL APARTMENT WILL STILL KEEP THIS PROPERTY WITHIN THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY RANGE FOR ALM 24 AND THERE'S NO ASSOCIATED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT OR THAT WOULD REQUIRE CITY COUNCIL REVIEW SO FOR THE BUILDING DESIGN THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING ADDING ONE STUDIO APARTMENT UNIT IN PLACE OF THE SHARED COMMUNITY AND THEN THEY ARE ALSO PROPOSING A 224 SQUARE FOOT OFFICE ADDITION. WITH THAT THERE WILL BE ADDING ONE PARKING SPOT AND FIVE STORAGE SPACES SO THIS SHOWS THE ADDITIONAL ENCLOSED PARKING SPOT THAT THERE WILL BE ADDED ADD IN . THEY AREN'T ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO ADD ANY PARKING BECAUSE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMUNITY ROOM THOSE WERE NINE SPOTS WHEREAS FOR THIS OFFICE SPACE AND FOR THE STUDIO ONLY 2.4 SPACES ARE REQUIRED BUT IT IS REQUIRED THAT THEY HAVE ONE ENCLOSED PARKING SPOT. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THIS ADDITION HERE IT IS ADA COMPLIANT AND IT WILL LEAD TO A RAMP TO ACCESS ELEVATOR AND THEN DOWN AND THE GARAGE IS WHERE THEY WILL BE ADDING THE FIVE ADDITIONAL STORAGE SPACES WHERE ONLY ONE IS ACTUALLY REQUIRED AS FAR AS CODE COMPLIANCE GOES THEY HAVE PLENTY OF OPEN SPACE. LIKE I SAID THE STORAGE THEY'RE ADDING FIVE WHERE THEY ONLY NEED ONE THEY MEET THE MINIMUM UNIT SIZE PARKING IS GOOD AND THE DRIVE ALWAYS GOOD SO WITH THAT STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ME THANK YOU MRS. BECK AND FOR OUR NEW COMMISSIONERS AS AS I BELIEVE WE KNOW WE'LL START WITH QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO DISCUSSION SO I'LL OPEN IT UP TO THE COMMISSION NOW ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I HAVE A QUESTION THIS ASPECT OR ANY UPDATES TO LANDSCAPING OR LIGHTING REQUIRED OR DOES THIS NOT TRIGGER TYPE OF COMPLAINTS? CHAIRPERSON BELIEVE SINCE THIS IS ALL INSIDE THAT IT DOESN'T TRIGGER THAT TYPE OF COMPLIANCE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING WHICH I WILL OPEN OUT AND ASK. THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO TESTIFY ON THIS ITEM AND WE DON'T ANYONE BUT STAFF HERE AND I'M SORRY WE DO HAVE ONE PERSON WOULD YOU LIKE TO TESTIFY HERE? YEAH, VERY WELL. IS THERE ANYONE ON LINE MR. MERCURY WOULD LIKE TO TESTIFY, CAPTAIN? NO ONE ON LINE FOR THIS ITEM. VERY GOOD. THEN I'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO CLOSE THE HEARING SO MOVED SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ANY DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I I I OPPOSED THE MOTION PASSES AND WILL NOW OPEN TO DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONER CURRIE LOOKS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT THAT'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE OR VARIANCES ANYTHING SO IT SEEMS PRETTY SIMPLE QUESTION MCGOVERN I MIRRORED EXACTLY WHAT DAN HAS SAID. IT'S PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND VERY EASY PROJECT. I WILL ADD THAT THIS IS SO STRAIGHTFORWARD IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT I WISH COULD DO ADMINISTRATIVELY AND I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THE NOTES OF WHEN WE SAW THIS THE TIME I THINK WE HAVE THE SAME COMMENTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ABILITIES WE HAVE TO MAKE THESE SORTS OF THINGS ADMINISTRATIVE. MR. BERGER, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? YES. CHAIR CURTIN RECENTLY REVIEWED PROPOSED STREAMLINING CHANGES ONE OF WHICH WOULD BE ALLOWED WOULD BE TO ALLOW WHAT WAS IT UP TO FIVE UNITS ADDITIONAL TO BE APPROVED AT THE STAFF OR UNDER FIVE UNITS TO APPROVED AT THE STAFF LEVEL. AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF IS PROPOSING WE ARE MEETING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL IN STUDY MONDAY NIGHT TO DISCUSS THAT AND IF THEY GIVE US THE THUMBS UP WE'LL BRING THAT BACK AS A ORDINANCE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING. I THINK THAT'S TERRIFIC AND A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION SO MOVED I WILL GET YOU THE MOTION UP ON THE SCREEN THERE. MR. CUNNINGHAM, IF YOU DON'T MIND IN CASE P.L. 2024-85 HAVING BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE REQUIRED FINDINGS I MOVE TO APPROVE FINAL SAY SITE AND BUILDING PLAN REVISIONS TO CONVERT SHARED SPACE WITHIN AN EXISTING APARTMENT BUILDING TO ONE ADDITIONAL LIVING UNIT AT 8301 STANLEY ROAD SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS AND CODE REQUIREMENTS ATTACHED TO THE STAFF REPORT. SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION ANY FURTHER ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I I OPPOSED THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE ZERO AND THIS IS A FINAL DECISION BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION UNLESS AN APPEALS RECEIVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL BY 4:30 P.M. ON JULY 16TH WE WILL MOVE THEN TO ITEM NUMBER THREE WHICH THE APPLICANT IS THE CITY OF BLOOMINGTON FOR CANNABIS BUSINESS STANDARDS AND THERE'S BEEN A REQUEST FOR ITEM CONTINUANCE. MR. MARK GARRETT IS THERE A PUBLIC HEARING WE NEED OPEN OR HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT HERE? YES. JARED CURTIN WHAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND IS OPENING PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN CONTINUING IT . WE'RE RECOMMENDING TO AUGUST 15TH A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THAT. WE ARE DRAFTING THIS ORDINANCE RIGHT NOW WE HAD A STAFF DEPARTURE AND THE CITY CLERK DIVISION WHICH HAS KIND OF SLOWED DOWN THE PROCESS. WE NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO COMPLETE THAT SO WE THINK AUGUST 15TH WE'LL HAVE THAT READY VERY WELL. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING THEN ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE WHO WOULD LIKE TESTIFY. I'M NOT SEEING ANYONE STEP FORWARD AND WE WILL LEAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AND I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO 15TH COMMISSIONER CURRY THE MOVE TO CONTINUE THE ITEM UNTIL AUGUST 15TH. SECOND WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR CONTINUANCE OF THIS ITEM NUMBER THREE TO AUGUST 15TH 2024. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY I I OPPOSED THEIR MOTION PASSES SIX ZERO AS COMMISSIONER ISSA HAS JOINED US NOW AND THAT WILL MOVE THEN TO AUGUST 15TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MOVING ALONG THEN WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR WHICH IS A STUDY ITEM FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION REGARDING THE 102ND STREETS. WE'RE GOING TO GET A RECAP WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON THERE AND ALSO A UPDATE ON SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMITS. MS. AMY MORONE IS HERE TO GIVE US A STAFF REPORT. GOOD EVENING PLANNING COMMISSION. IT'S KIND OF AN HONOR TO BE HERE THE NIGHT WITH A NEW MEMBER SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION IS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS AN ADVISORY BOARD ON TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION RELATED ITEMS AS WELL. SO WILL YOU'LL SEE US OCCASIONALLY BRINGING BRINGING THESE TYPES OF AND ITEMS TO YOU. SO JUST AS AN INTRODUCTION YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT SOME OF THE SPEED LIMIT CHANGES THAT ARE COMING TO THE ROADS IN BLOOMINGTON AND THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT 106TH STREET AS WELL IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOLS. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE GOTTEN A FEW QUESTIONS OR THERE'S BEEN SOME PUBLIC AND SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT THE BACKGROUND OF WHAT'S BEEN DONE ON 102ND STREET IN THE PAST AND WE HAVE PLANNED IN THE FUTURE THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE AN INFORMATIONAL THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A REQUESTED ACTION. SO I'M GOING TO START OUT BY GIVING AN UPDATE ON KIND OF THE LOCATION, THE HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF THIS SECTION OF ROADWAY AND THEN KIRK ROBERTS IS GOING TO COME UP AND HE'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT PROJECT THAT'S UNDERWAY SO THIS IS THE SECTION OF 102ND STREET THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT'S BETWEEN NORMANDY BOULEVARD AND FRENCH AVENUE AND THERE'S THREE SCHOOLS ALONG A SECTION. SO THERE'S A LONG BACKGROUND 102ND STREET. SO STARTING ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2006 WE STARTED OUR FIRST STUDY IN ANTICIPATION 2009 OVERLAY ON ROADWAY AND AT THAT TIME WE HAD DONE SOME NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT GONE THROUGH A PROCESS AND DID PROPOSE SOME STRIPING CHANGES TO HAPPEN ON ON THIS SECTION AT THE TIME THERE THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF PUSHBACK AND SO AS THE OUTCOME OF THE PUBLIC WITH THE CITY COUNCIL CHANGES TO CONVERT THIS FROM A FOUR LANE UNDIVIDED TO A THREE LANE WERE NOT APPROVED AT THAT TIME WE DID LOOK AT IT AGAIN AS PART OF AWESOME DRIVEWAY STUDY SO WE HAD IDENTIFIED SOME SPOT SAFETY CONCERNS AT THAT DRIVEWAY A HISTORY CRASHES SO WE LOOKED AT THE CORRIDOR AT THAT TIME A LITTLE BIT AS WELL BUT WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON MOSTLY OUT THE DRIVEWAY THOUGH WE LOOK AT POSSIBLE STRIPING CHANGES AGAIN IN 2014 SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ATTENTION GIVEN JUST IN THE STUDIES IN THE PAST PROJECTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED ARE WE DID THE OUR THE RECTANGULAR RAPID FLASHING BEACON ENHANCEMENT ONE OF THE FIRST FIRST OF TWO THAT WERE INSTALLED IN THE CITY WERE AT THE JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL. THEN WE HAD STOREFRONTS SCHOOL PROJECT THAT WAS CALLED THE JEFFERSON WILSON'S AIR FRANCE SCHOOL PROJECT IN . THIS AREA IT DID PEDESTRIAN CROSSING ENHANCEMENTS AT JOHNS JOHNSON AVENUE AND JEFFERSON DRIVEWAY A CURB ON PART OF THE RFP ENHANCEMENT ENHANCEMENT AT FRANCE AVENUE AND HERITAGE HILLS WITH THE OVERHEAD MAST AND THE RFP ENHANCEMENT WE'LL TALK ABBEY ROAD AND COWL ALSO A SCHOOL CROSSING FOR THIS SCHOOL AREA SO THAT THAT WAS ENHANCED AS WELL. WE DID A TRAIL ACROSS THAT FROM THE BACK OF OLSEN MIDDLE SCHOOL JUST TO PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL FROM JOHNSON AVENUE AND THEN BIKE RACKS WERE INSTALLED AT ALL THOSE SCHOOLS JUST THIS LAST YEAR WE DID THE DRIVEWAY ENHANCEMENT PROJECT AT WILSON DRIVEWAY AND THAT'S BEEN A VERY POSITIVE IN THIS AREA AS WELL. AND LIKE I SAID, KIRK WILL TALK ABOUT THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT PROJECT THAT IS UNDERWAY THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT THIS YEAR AT THAT SCHOOL AREA. A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION JUST ABOUT THE TRAFFIC DATA ON 102ND STREET. IT'S A FOUR LANE UNDIVIDED STREET POSTED SPEED LIMIT CURRENTLY IS 35. IT'S GOING TO BE DOWN TO 30 NOW WITH THE NEW SPEED LIMIT CHANGES, THE VOLUMES ARE 5000 AND ABOUT 7000 VEHICLES PER DAY AND CURRENTLY IS 85TH PERCENTILE. SPEEDS ARE BETWEEN 35 AND 38 MILES PER HOUR. SO THIS I KNOW IT'S LIKE PRETTY SMALL GRAPHIC JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU KNOW WHEN WE OUR TRAFFIC STUDIES IS WHEN WE REALLY GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE CRASH OUT OF THAT'S AVAILABLE BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO MONITOR SO THIS IS THIS REPRESENTS TEN YEARS OF REPORTED CRASH DATA AND I'M NOT INCLUDING THE CRASHES IN THIS GRAPHIC THAT ARE AT FRANCE AVENUE AT FRENCH AVENUE THERE WERE 31 INCIDENTS IN THE TEN YEARS AT NORMANDY THERE WERE 37 IN THE TEN YEARS. BOTH OF THOSE ARE NEAR OR WHAT'S CALLED THE 50TH PERCENTILE HAVEN'T HOW MANY A VALUE COMPARISON? LET'S SEE I CAN GET THAT WORD RIGHT. THE AVERAGE CRASH RATE IN HENNEPIN COUNTY IS KIND OF WHAT WE COMPARE IT TO. SO THE FRANCE ONE SITS A LITTLE BIT ABOVE AND THEN ARMADALE ONE IS A LITTLE BIT BELOW SO IT'S NOT LIKE ONE OF THE HIGHEST YOU KNOW THESE AREN'T TRIGGERING AS THE HIGHEST CRASH LOCATIONS EVEN THOUGH THOSE NUMBERS ARE HIGH THERE'S A LOT OF VOLUME GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS BUT NOTHING TO TO IGNORE FOR SURE AT NORMANDY THEY'RE JUST AT THE CURSORY LOOK OF THE CRASH REPORTS. THERE WERE TWO THAT DID INDICATE THAT THEY INVOLVED BICYCLES AT FRENCH AVENUE. THERE'S ONE THAT INDICATED IT INVOLVED A PEDESTRIAN. SO THEN THAT LEAVES ABOUT 28 REPORTED ACROSS THIS CORRIDOR THAT ARE REPRESENTED BY THESE COLORED DOTS HERE. I KNOW AT LEAST TWO OF THEM ARE ASSOCIATED TO THE WRONG LOCATION JUST FROM READING THROUGH REPORTS THEY REFERENCE 98TH STREET BUT THEY SOMEHOW THEY'RE NOT ENDED UP HERE. 11 OF THEM ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOL DRIVEWAYS SO THAT'S MORE THAN 50% OF THEM. AND THEN THERE'S OTHERS ALONG THE CORRIDOR TWO INCIDENTS INVOLVED PEDESTRIANS. THERE WAS ONE JUST THIS IN 2023 AND THAT WAS NOT IN A SCHOOL CROSSING BUT IT WAS NEAR THE JEFFERSON SCHOOL DRIVEWAY. SO THE ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE MARKED CROSSWALK WHERE THAT INCIDENT WAS THE OTHER ONE WAS ON JOHNSON JOHNSON AVENUE ACTUALLY AT THE LOCATION WHERE WE HAVE DONE THE CROSSWALK ENHANCEMENT IT RIGHT BEFORE WE HAD DONE THE CROSSWALK ENHANCEMENT SO WE'VE NOW THE FLASHING BEACONS AND THE OVERHEAD LIGHTING SINCE THEN AND THEN THERE WERE ALSO THERE WAS IN THAT TEN YEARS THERE WAS ALSO ONE IDENTIFIED THAT INVOLVED A BICYCLE AND THAT ONE WAS AT THE STOP CONTROL DRAG OF JOHNSON 102ND STREET. AND WHAT HAPPENED ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT IS THAT THE DRIVER PULLED UP INTO THE CROSSWALK AREA. THEY DIDN'T STRIKE THE BICYCLIST BUT THE BICYCLE RAN INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR. SO IT WAS A VERY LOW INCIDENT BUT IT WAS A REPORTED BICYCLE INCIDENT. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL OF THAT THE ACTUAL LIKE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND IN HISTORY ON THE REPORTED INCIDENTS THAT ARE IN THIS AREA. THIS IS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT TO LOOK AT BUT WHAT WERE WHAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS RIGHT NOW AND HAS BEEN AND THIS IS THIS IS ALL BASED ON A REPORT THAT WE GAVE TO THE CITY COUNCIL ALMOST A AGO. SO WE THINK THAT THE NEXT STEP FOR 102ND STREET BESIDES THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMITS IS THAT WE HAVE TO DO ANOTHER STUDY FOR THIS CORRIDOR TO DEVELOP A PLAN AND IT'S NOT A EASY STUDY BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS THE INTERSECTION OF FRANCE AVENUE AND 102ND STREET. SO THAT'S A PRETTY LARGE ANALYSIS JUST WITH THAT WE KNOW THAT THE CIRCULATION AT JEFFERSON IS HUGE IMPACTS ON 102ND STREET AND SO THE WILL INCLUDE WHAT MODIFICATIONS COULD BE DONE ON THEIR SITE THAT WOULD HELP IMPROVE NOT ONLY THE FLOW ON THEIR SITE BUT ALSO THE BACKUPS AND THE QUEUING CUEING THAT HAPPENS ONTO 102ND STREET WE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE INTERSECTION OF NORMANDY ON 102ND WE THINK THAT WE'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF ADVANCE WORK ON THAT SINCE WE HAVE OUR NORMANDY SIDEWALK CONTROL PROJECT COMING UP THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THAT DESIGN TO THE TO A LEVEL THAT IT WILL BE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO MOVE ANYTHING JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER WE BUILT THAT TRAIL AND SIDEWALK DEFINITELY WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THAT PROPERLY AND CONFIRM WHAT WHAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT LANE CONFIGURATION ON 102ND STREET IF A THREE LEGGED CONFIGURATION WOULD BE RIGHT AND ALSO ADDRESSING ALL OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS SO ON ROAD OR OFF ROAD FACILITIES SIDEWALKS TRAILS ,CROSSWALKS MAKING SURE THAT ARE ALL AT THE RIGHT LOCATIONS AND ADDRESSING ALL THE NEEDS THE OTHER THE OTHER PART OF OUR STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IT IS DEFINITELY TIME TO DO AN UPDATE TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE SAFE SCHOOL PLAN. SO THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES OF SHEETS FROM OUR 2012 PLAN 2012 SO THAT'S LIKE 12 YEAR OLD PLAN. THE GREAT NEWS IS WE'VE CONSTRUCTED ALMOST ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED IN THE PLAN THE NOT GREAT NEWS IS IT'S A 12 YEAR OLD PLAN NOW AND IT DEFINITELY THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF CHANGES ON HOW THE SCHOOL SITES ARE FUNCTIONING THERE ARE SO MANY MORE PARENTS THAT ARE PICKING UP AND DROPPING OFF SO YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH AND GET A COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE OF OUR STOREFRONTS JUST CALLED PLAN. SO WE'RE WATCHING FOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. WE THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ASSISTANCE SOLICITATION THIS FALL. WE THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL ON INFRASTRUCTURE SO SOLICITATION LAST YEAR THEY ONLY DID IT FOR GREATER MINNESOTA. SO WE WERE WATCHING CLOSELY AT THAT TIME BUT THE ONLY OFFERED IT FOR GREATER MINNESOTA AT THIS TIME IT'S ANTICIPATED TO BE IN THE METRO AREA AS WE'VE ALREADY COMPLETED AN APPLICATION FOR OUR SAFE AND ROADS FOR ALL AND ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES UNDER THAT IS THAT COULD SAY CRITICAL TO US ESTABLISHING A ROADWAY SAFETY ACTION PLAN AS HAVING A CURRENCY FRANCISCO FISCAL PLAN SO WE'VE APPLIED FOR FUNDING TO DO THAT UPDATE UNDER THAT SOLICITATION WE SHOULD FIND OUT IN AUGUST OF THAT SUCCESSFUL OR NOT BUT ALL THESE STUDIES TAKE TIME AND RESOURCES SO WE THESE ARE HIGH ON OUR RADAR. THEY'RE JUST WE DON'T HAVE RIGHT AT TIME WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE FUNDING OR THE OR THE STAFF TIME OR MAKE THE STAFF TIME IF WE GET THE FUNDING. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS JUST KIND OF A BREAKDOWN OF GOT TO DO THE STUDY FIRST AND IT'LL TAKE SIX OR NINE MONTHS. WE WOULD PROBABLY RUN IT THROUGH A SCHOOL YEAR BUT IT COULD DEFINITELY GET STARTED BEFORE OR AFTER. BUT IT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF STAKEHOLDER GROUPS GROUPS PARENTS PTA AS PRINCIPALS, EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN THAT AREA AND THEN AFTER WE HAVE A GOOD SOLID PLAN WE WILL START LOOKING FOR FUNDING TO CONSTRUCT PROJECTS . SO NOT ON HER DOCKET STRAIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU SOME OF THE SAFE GRANTS TO SCHOOL PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COMING UP. SO THIS YEAR WE'RE DOING CONSTRUCTING THE CROSSWALK ENHANCEMENT ON OLD CHALK B 98TH STREET IN FRONT OF KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL AT SECOND AVENUE NEXT YEAR WE'RE CONSTRUCTING NEW SIDEWALK FOR A VALLEY VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL, AN ELEMENTARY ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF 88TH STREET AND THEN SOME NEW SIDEWALK VALLEY VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL TO PORTLAND AND ALSO SOME ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS TO THAT OVERHEAD RFP THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE. AND THEN IN 25 AND 2026 IS THE NORMANDY BOULEVARD SIDEWALK AND TRAIL PROJECT AND THAT AFFECTS IT'S WITHIN THE WALKWAY BOUNDARY FIVE SCHOOLS SO WE'VE GOT THOSE LISTED THERE. WE'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT OF FUNDING TO HELP BOOST THAT PROJECT, RECEIVE GRANTS TO SCHOOL AS WELL ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PORTION BEFORE KIRK GIVES US THE UPDATE ON THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMITS ANY QUESTIONS FOR STEPH? MR. CURRY THANK YOU. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STRIPING PROPOSAL FROM 14 SPECIFICALLY COMMISSIONER CURRY THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DID NOT APPROVE IT BASED ON THE PUBLIC HEARING RESULTS? DO WE KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T APPROVE OR WHAT THE WERE WHAT KIND OF FEEDBACK WAS THERE? I MEAN THESE WERE BOTH LONG HEARINGS AND GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT THERE WAS TOO THERE'S TOO MUCH CONCENTRATE ON TRAFFIC VOLUME AT THE SCHOOL DRIVEWAYS AND IT WAS STILL KIND OF EARLY ON IN OUR 4 TO 3 LANE CONVERSIONS THERE WAS SOME DOUBT ON WHETHER IT WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL AND SO IT WAS A WE DON'T WANT TO INTRODUCE IT IN AN AREA WITH STUDENT DRIVERS IF WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT'S TO WORK IT WILL ALSO REQUIRE A CONSTRUCTION OF A RIGHT TURN BAY WHICH REQUIRES RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION FROM AT LEAST ONE PERSONAL PROPERTY AND THAT ALSO PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN IT. OKAY. YOU SAID THAT THE ROAD IS IN THE 50TH PERCENTILE OF HENNEPIN COUNTY SAFETY. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT THE PERCENTILE IS FOR SCHOOL AREAS ? COMMISSIONER CR THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I DON'T THEY DON'T BREAK IT OUT THAT WAY. THIS IS JUST LIKE IN COUNTY IT'S BASED ON ROADWAY CLASSIFICATION AND VOLUMES. IT RANKS LIKE STREETS AGAINST LIKE STREETS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL BUT JUST A COMPARISON LEVEL AND SO I HAVE NOT SEEN IT BROKEN DOWN SPECIFICALLY FOR SCHOOLS BUT I'LL I'LL DO A LITTLE DIGGING AND SEE IF I CAN FIND THAT. OKAY. YEAH I JUST FIGURE I DON'T KNOW I JUST ASSUMED SCHOOL AREAS ARE TYPICALLY SAFER, RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S JUST MY ASSUMPTION. SORRY AND THEN I HAVE ONE LAST QUESTION WHICH IS JUST WAS THERE ANY CONSIDERED OPTION DONE TO DOING A STUDY BEFORE OR ANY WORK DONE AS PART OF THE JEFFERSON STADIUM PROPOSAL BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT? CAN YOU CLARIFY IS THE WAS THERE CONSIDERATION GIVEN BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DO A TRAFFIC STUDY OR BY CITY STAFF TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING IN OR BY CITY STAFF MAYBE RECOMMENDING TO THE I DON'T YOU KNOW, I GUESS I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL BOARD ARE SEPARATE ENTITIES OPERATE SEPARATELY BUT I ALSO FIGURE THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER IN SOME WAY SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE TYPICALLY WOULD BE RECOMMENDATION OF SOME SORT. ERIC ROBERTS IS HERE TO DISCUSS COMMISSIONER, COACH AND COMMISSIONER CURRY. APPRECIATE THE QUESTION WE. DID STUDY TRAFFIC IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STADIUMS? WE DID NOT FORMALIZE A STUDY OR USE A CONSULTANT. YOU KNOW, OFTEN WE PUT THAT OUT TO A CONSULTANT IF IT'S A VERY LARGE STUDY OR VERY CONTROVERSIAL. WE DID NOT DO THAT IN THIS CASE BUT WE DID LOOK AT IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AND, HOW THEY AFFECT THE AREA IN GENERAL THE MOST OF WHAT HAPPENS AT THE STADIUM HAPPENS OUTSIDE NORMAL SCHOOL HOURS. IT HAPPENS IN THE EVENING WHEN SCHOOLS ARE ALREADY OUT AND THE STADIUMS CAN GENERATE TRAFFIC THAT. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IN EVEN IN AN ORDINARY DAY AT SCHOOL IT WILL GENERATE LESS TRAFFIC THAN THAT. SO THE RUSH OF TRAFFIC IN AND OUT IN THE MORNING AND IN THE AFTERNOON THE STADIUMS WON'T GENERATE THAT SORT OF VOLUME AND THEY GENERATE THOSE VOLUMES IN THE EVENING HOURS AND SO THE IMPACTS ALSO OCCUR WHEN THE ROADS ARE OUTSIDE OF THE PEAK HOURS TOO. MOST OF THE TIME WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT TRAFFIC WE WANT TO LOOK AT THOSE MORNING AND PEAK HOURS THAT'S WHEN THE ROADWAY IS UNDER THE MOST REST. THAT'S WHEN YOU EXPECT THE BIGGEST ISSUES AND SO THE STADIUMS OPERATE OF THAT AND SO THERE'S NO NEW SIGNIFICANT CAPACITY IMPACTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO THE QUESTION THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY ASKING THOUGH IS HOW ARE PEOPLE GOING TO GET OUT AND ABOUT ON FOOT? AND THAT IS A QUESTION WE ASK BECAUSE THE GOOD THING ABOUT WHERE THESE STADIUM SIT IS THEY'RE IN AN AREA WHICH HAS BEEN FAIRLY WELL DEVELOPED FOR FOR PEOPLE ON BIKE, PEOPLE ON FOOT ON FOOT AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. SO THERE'S ALREADY A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE AND THEN IF WE SEE CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE STADIUM WE HAVE PEOPLE WALKING WHERE WE DIDN'T EXPECT OR THEY WEREN'T WALKING BEFORE THEN WE'RE DEVELOPING THOSE THE PLANS RIGHT NOW TO ADDRESS THAT TO ADDRESS THE EVENTS THEMSELVES AND THOSE PLANS WILL HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY ENGINEER. SO THAT'S A LONG ANSWER TO A SHORT QUESTION. OKAY. THANK YOU, MARISSA. THANK YOU CHAIR. SO MY QUESTION SOMEWHERE TO COMMISSIONER CURRY'S QUESTION BUT A BIT DIFFERENT IS WHEN WE'RE COMPARING THAT ROAD IN FRONT OF JEFFERSON I BELIEVE IT'S 1/2 AND THERE'S A 50% CRASH RATE ACCORDING TO THE COUNTY DATA. I FORGOT THE EXACT TERM USED BUT IS THAT IS THERE KIND OF A SAFE LEVEL OF PERCENTAGE IN TERMS OF PERCENTAGE THAT STEPH OR THE COUNTY RECOMMENDS TO BE ACTIVE? YEAH, THAT'S BEST. MY QUESTION WAS 50% IF IT'S JUST SCHOOL ROADS THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN LIKE 50% OF OUR ROADS. SO I GUESS IS THERE A PERCENTAGE OR QUARTER THAT SHOULD BE THAT'S A SAFE ZONE, COMMISSIONER. YOU SEE THAT? OKAY. SO IT'S IT IS JUST A COMPARISON NUMBER. SO IS THERE ISN'T A THRESHOLD OR A TRIGGER THAT SAYS IF IT IF IT REACHES POINT SEVEN FIVE VERSUS BEING CLOSE TO THIS AVERAGE CRASH RATE THEN THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY WE KIND OF USE IT AS AN INDEX TO SAY IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT HAPPENING AT THIS INTERSECTION THAT'S THAT THAT MAY BE CONTRIBUTING OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT'S JUST HIGH VOLUMES OR THERE'S A LOT OF LANES OF TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH HERE. SO THAT'S HOW WE HOW WE USE THAT AS JUST FACTOR JUST A COMPARISON. SO THERE REALLY ISN'T A NUMBER THAT SAYS ONCE ONCE IT'S YOU KNOW, POINT SIX INSTEAD OF POINT FIVE THAT THERE'S NO MAGIC NUMBER. I THINK YOU MY FINAL QUESTION IS IS IT ALL RIGHT JUST TO ADD ONE THING TOO IF THEY DON'T WANT MISUNDERSTANDINGS WHEN MISS MORONE SPEAKS ABOUT THE 50TH PERCENT THAT'S A PERCENTILE OF COMPARISON TO OTHER HENNEPIN COUNTY INTERSECTIONS. IT'S NOT TO SAY THAT 50% OF THE PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH THERE ARE HAVING CRASHES THAT BE VERY, VERY BAD. IT'S JUST TO SAY THAT WHEN WE COMPARE THIS INTERSECTION WITH ALL THE INTERSECTIONS IN HENNEPIN COUNTY IT'S ABOUT AVERAGE IN TERMS OF ITS CRASH RATE AND THE THING THAT WE LOOK FOR THOSE OUTLIERS WHERE IS THAT VERY MUCH ABOVE AVERAGE AND THOSE ARE THE ONES WE TARGET FOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER THINGS. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INTERRUPTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT LAST QUESTION. IS IT BROKEN TO PERIODS OF THE DAY OR IS IT JUST OVERALL EACH DAY IS AN AVERAGE OH THIS IS JUST PER MILLION ENTERING VEHICLES IS WHAT THE CRASH RATE IS CALCULATED BASED OFF OF . THANK YOU FOR THAT I HAVE A QUESTION MEMBER ON SO DID YOU SAY ONE OF THE PROPOSALS WILL BE GOING TO THE THREE LANE CONFIGURATION AGAIN WE'RE GOING TO REPURPOSE THAT CHAIR COOKTOWN THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE SOMETHING THAT THINK WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT STUDY AND GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS FOR CONSIDERATION. AND ANOTHER QUESTION YOU MENTIONED THE NORMAN DALE TRAIL I'VE NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE. CAN YOU EXPLAIN HIGH LEVEL WHAT THAT PROJECT IS? YES, I CAN. SO CURRENTLY YOU WILL SEE NORMAN DALE BOULEVARD NORTH OF 94TH STREET SEVERAL YEARS AGO THERE WAS RECONSTRUCTION OF THAT ROADWAY AND A TRAIL WAS CONSTRUCTED BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD SOUTH OF THERE FROM 94TH STREET ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OLD SHOCK ROAD. THERE'S STILL VERY YOU CAN ALMOST SEE A TRAIL AND SOME LOCATIONS. SO THERE'S THE THERE'S BITUMINOUS SURFACE THAT IS STILL USED BY BIKES AND PEDESTRIANS AND IS IN PRETTY POOR CONDITION. AND SO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP HAS BEEN WORKING FOR QUITE SOME SOME TIME TO GET STARTED ON SOME PLANS WE'RE STARTING SOME RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION THERE'S GOING TO A PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT A TEN FOOT BITUMINOUS TRAIL ON THE WEST SIDE OF NORMAN DALE BOULEVARD AND. THEN ON THE EAST SIDE WILL BE A SIX FOOT CONCRETE SIDEWALK AND SO THERE WAS A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND WE WILL BE BEGINNING ANOTHER ANOTHER ROUND OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT GO ALONG WITH THIS PROJECT STILL AT A VERY EARLY STAGE, HOWEVER, WE HAVE STARTED TO SECURE SOME FUNDING FOR IT AND IT IS DEFINITELY PROGRAMED. I'M GOING TO LOOK BACK AT CITY ENGINEER JUST TO GIVE THE THUMBS. OKAY, WE'VE GOT OUR THUMBS UP. ALL RIGHT GREAT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STEPH SINGH? DUNKIRK ROBERTS I BELIEVE YOUR NEXT THANK YOU IS ROOM RIGHT MR. CHAIRMAN COMMISSIONERS AGAIN KIRK ROBERTS TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT AND AS MRS. MARONE WE ARE HERE FROM TIME TO TIME TO SEEK ADVICE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON TRANSFER TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ISSUES. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME ON THAT AND WE WILL TRY TO MAKE IT AS PAINLESS AS POSSIBLE SO. I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE SCORES ON SPEED LIMIT UPDATES IS KIND OF DOVETAILS WITH THE WORK THAT AMEREN WAS TALKING ABOUT. SO AS MANY OF YOU RECALL THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED CODE CHANGES TO ALLOW STAFF TO CHANGE SPEED LIMITS AS WELL AS SET SCORES ON SPEED LIMITS. THE COUNCIL ACTED ON THAT ON MAY 20TH VETTING AND MADE THAT CHANGE IN THE CITY CODE . THERE WAS ON BEHALF OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION THE CITY COUNCIL THERE WAS A LOT OF INTEREST IN GETTING 102ND STREET AND IMPLEMENTING THOSE SCORES ON SPEED LIMITS. THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR SCHOOLS SITUATED IN THE CITY THAT ARE ADJACENT TO LANE ROADWAYS LIKE THIS AND I THE GOAL OF STAFF RIGHT NOW IS TO BRING ALL THREE OF THOSE AREAS AND ADD SCORES ON SPEED LIMITS HERE BY THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WEST 84TH STREET THAT'S NORMAN DALE WITH FRANCE SIMILARLY CONFIGURED 102ND STREET AND THEN WEST 106TH STREET NEAR OAK GROVE. THIS IS BETWEEN HUMBOLDT 35 W SO I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THOSE AND JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION HERE'S ROUGHLY WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED THE THE PRIMARY DOCUMENT THAT WE'RE USING AS MINDAT HAS DEVELOPED SCHOOL ZONE A GUIDE FOR ESTABLISHING SCHOOL SPEED LIMITS. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT IN A COUPLE OF WAYS. ONE, IT'S A REALLY GOOD DOCUMENT. THE STATE DID A GREAT JOB. THEY DREW ON LOCAL EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS NATIONAL RESEARCH AND EXPERIENCE DEVELOPING SCHOOLS ON SPEED LIMITS THE. OTHER THING IS IN EACH STATE THE 50 STATES THE STATE THEMSELVES ARE CONSIDERED THE TRAFFIC. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK TO TO TRAFFIC IN TRANSPORTATION AND MOST OF WHAT WE DO HAS TO BE IN SUBSTANTIAL CONFORMANCE WITH THEM. THAT'S THE WAY THAT WE'LL BE MINIMIZED. WE IMPROVE SAFETY THE MOST AND WE MINIMIZE RISK TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE CITY. AND SO I'VE INCLUDED A LINK IF YOU WANT TO ADD THIS TO YOUR SUMMER READING LIST IT'S HUGE. IT'S AVAILABLE. SEE HERE A COUPLE OF BASICS THAT I'LL RUN THROUGH BASED ON RESEARCH THAT GUIDE IF YOU CAN GET LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO ABOUT TEN MILES AN HOUR SPEED DIFFERENTIAL THIS IS TO SAY YOUR SCHOOLS ON SPEED LIMITS SHOULD BE WITHIN ABOUT TEN MILES AN HOUR OF YOUR REGULAR SPEED. THAT'S GOING TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE THAT'S GOING TO SEE THE MOST COMPLIANCE DRIVERS. AS YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT CHANGING SPEED LIMITS ON LARGER ROADS ADJACENT TO SCHOOLS. THOSE WILL ALL BE AT 30 MILES AN HOUR HERE IN THE NEXT ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THREE WEEKS. AND SO WE'VE SET THE SCHOOLS ON SPEED LIMITS AT 20 MILES AN HOUR SO WE'RE WITHIN THAT TEN MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT. LOCAL ROADS WILL ALSO BE GOING 25 MILES AN HOUR. THIS WILL BE IT. IT'LL BE A CITYWIDE ORDINANCE THAT'S GOING TO ALSO TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO A MONTH. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A FIVE MILE AN HOUR DIFFERENTIAL SO WE THAT CRITERIA WITHIN THAT TEN MILES AN HOUR SWEET SPOT THAT WE WANT FOR THE MOST EFFECTIVE SPEED LIMIT IN OUR SCHOOL, OUR MOST EFFECTIVE COMPLIANCE YOU WANT THE SPEED ZONE CENTERED ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE ARE CROSSING THAT'S GOING TO BE END AND START OF THOSE ARE SUBJECT TO SOME JUDGMENT SO IF WE CAN INCLUDE A SCHOOL DRIVEWAY AND SLOW PEOPLE DOWN IN THOSE DRIVEWAYS THAT'S GOING TO PROVIDE SOME BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL AND THE LENGTH OF THE ZONE IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE OPTIMIZE FOR TIME AND SO WE WANT THEM TO SLOW DOWN BE CAUTIOUS, PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND THEN GET ON THEIR WAY AND IF WE MAKE THESE TOO LONG THEY START TO LOSE EFFECTIVENESS AND THAT THAT LOSS OF EFFECTIVENESS IS SUBSTANTIAL. AND WHEN I TALK ABOUT EFFECTIVENESS MOST OF WHAT WE DO IN TRAFFIC WE WANT IT TO BE SELF REINFORCING, WANT IT TO BE VERY APPARENT AND SO IF WE HAVE AN AREA YOU ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE GET IS THE POLICE NEED TO GO OUT THERE AND WRITE AND THE POLICE GO OUT THERE AND WRITE TICKETS THAT'S ALWAYS IDEAL. NO ONE LIKES TO GET A TICKET. THESE ARE ORDINARY GOOD PEOPLE OBSERVANT OF THE LAWS AND IF WE CAN SOMETHING THAT IS VERY APPARENT TO THEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE THE CASE PEOPLE WILL COMPLY THE PEOPLE ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT KIND OF THING. SO WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING MAKES SENSE TO PEOPLE SO IN TERMS OF SIGNAGE THE LARGER LANE UNDIVIDED ROADWAY SO THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE ARE INTENDING USE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OPTIONS BUT ON THOSE ROADWAYS WITH THE COMPLEXITY WE FEEL LIKE IT'S BEST TO USE THE FLASHING SO THESE BE THE RULES ON SPEED LIMIT 20 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THOSE BEACONS ARE FLASHING THAT EQUIPMENT HAS MOVED ALONG QUITE NICELY IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY WE CAN PROGRAM THE ENTIRE YEAR WE CAN PROGRAM SEVERAL YEARS AHEAD SO WE CAN TO THE SCHOOL FIND OUT WHAT THEIR YEARLY CALENDAR IS. WE PROGRAM THAT HEAD AND THAT ALL WORKS AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT STAFF HAVING TO DO MUCH THEIR ON THE SMALLER ROADS. THESE ARE LOCAL ROADS ADJACENT TO SCHOOLS WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT THAT SCHOOL ZONE AND WE WANT TO MESSAGE THAT SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE. AND SO WHAT WE'VE DECIDED START WITH IS IT'LL BE SCHOOLS 20 MILES AN HOUR, 730 TO 430 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WE HAVE THE OPTION TO DO MONTHS HERE AND IF THERE WERE A PARKING RESTRICTION WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT THAT AND THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF THAT WE'VE DONE THAT AND WE DO HAVE THAT AROUND SOME OF OUR BUT THIS IS SPEED LIMIT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO PERCEIVE WHEN IT'S ACTIVE AND NEEDED AS THEY'RE DRIVING BY. SO WE'RE THAT OFF FOR NOW IT'LL JUST BE 730 TO 430 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY ALL DURING THAT TIME PERIOD IT'LL BE 20 MILES AN HOUR ON THESE LOCAL STREETS. SO APPLYING THIS FIRST OFF POPLAR RIDGE ELEMENTARY ALONG 84TH STREET AND I WON'T GO INTO DETAILS ON ALL OF THESE BUT THAT IF WE APPLY THOSE PRINCIPLES WE COME OUT WITH SPEED LIMITS ON 84TH STREET ABOUT 550 FEET. IT'S CENTERED ON THE CROSSWALK AND IF YOU'VE DRIVEN THROUGH THERE YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A NICE CROSSWALK THERE. IT'S RED YELLOW GREEN SIGNAL WE DON'T USE ANYMORE BUT THAT ONE IS STILL USEFUL AND STILL EFFECTIVE. THE KIDS CAN PRESS BUTTON AND THEY GET ACROSS THE STREET THERE THAT SIGNAL THE SOME OF THE OTHER ISSUES WE'RE THINKING ABOUT WHENEVER WE DO A CHANGE LIKE THIS IS ONE UNIQUE FEATURE ABOUT 84 STREET IS THEIR STOP SIGNS AT QUINN AND EITHER SIDE OF THESE IT'S TEMPTING TO MAYBE EXPAND IT OUT AND LET'S INCLUDE THE STOP SIGNS PEOPLE WILL BE GOING SLOW THEY'LL BE MORE INCLINED TO STOP. THE TROUBLE WITH THAT IDEA IS THAT DRIVERS CAN ONLY TAKE IN AND PROCESS AND DEAL WITH SO MUCH INFORMATION AND YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO THE MOST AND MAKE THAT THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF INFORMATION APPROACHING THESE STOP SIGNS. WE WANT DRIVERS TO STOP. WE DON'T WANT THEM DISTRACTED BY OTHER MESSAGES OR CONFUSED BECAUSE DRIVERS CAN ONLY PROCESS SO MUCH. AND SO WE'VE KEPT THE ZONE WITHIN AND SO THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE WE'VE GOT TO APPLY THAT ENGINEERING JUDGMENT TO THE START END OF THESE ZONES AND THEN PALMER AVENUE WE UP AND THIS IS AGAIN A 25 MILE AN HOUR LOCAL STREET THEN WE END UP WITH A 900 FOOT ZONE WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO OBSERVE THOSE THAT SPEED LIMIT DURING THOSE HOURS AND. THE REASON IS ALONG THAT STREET IS THERE'S NO SPECIFIC CROSSING LOCATIONS DRIVERS CAN EXPECT KIDS ANYWHERE ALONG THAT STREET AND I HOPE THEY YOU KNOW, WE'RE WALKING DOWN THE SIDEWALK AND CROSSING AT A GOOD SAFE LOCATION. BUT I THINK IT'S FAIR TO EXPECT THAT SCHOOL ACTIVITIES COULD OCCUR ANYWHERE ALONG AND THERE THERE'S DOORS ADJACENT TO THAT ROAD. AND SO I THINK EFFECTIVE TO HAVE IT ALL THROUGH THERE AND THERE'S SOME OPEN QUESTIONS ABOUT AS WE AS YOU MOVE TO THE EAST IF THERE'S NEED FOR SOME SPEED LIMITS THERE ON MORSE AVENUE THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL CROSSING AND COORDINATE. THESE ARE THE SCHOOLS WE'LL FIGURE THOSE ISSUES OUT. SEE HERE IN MY POWERPOINT AND SO WORKING ON NEXT UP OAK GROVE ELEMENTARY IS 106TH STREET AS IT INTERSECTS 35 W AGAIN WE END UP WITH A SCHOOLS ON CENTERED ON THE CROSSWALK RIGHT AT THE CREST OF THE HILL THEY'RE EXTENDING DOWN PAST THE MAIN DRIVEWAY TO TO OAK GROVE THAT SERVES THE MIDDLE SCHOOL THERE'S ALSO OAK GROVE ELEMENTARY THAT IS ADJACENT TO 104 STREET WELL USE CROSSING IN AREA AND THE SCHOOL ZONE IS ROUGHLY CENTERED ON THAT AND ANOTHER INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS ONE IS HUMBOLDT AVENUE. THERE'S SOME CROSSWALKS THERE WE DON'T KNOW OF ANY SIGNIFICANT SCHOOLS ACTIVITY THERE AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE AN OPEN QUESTION IF WE FIND EVIDENCE IF IN OUR STUDIES OR WHEN WE'RE COORDINATING THESE WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, IF WE FIND THAT TELLS US THERE ARE KIDS ACTIVELY CROSSING, THEY'RE USING THAT THEN WE'LL IMPLEMENT A SCHOOL ZONE THERE ANOTHER WE HAVE IS THE SIGNAL UNDER THE SIXTH AND THAT'S GOING TO BE RELEVANT HERE AS I TALK SO I'LL JUST KEEP GOING. BUT THAT'S HOW THE OAK GROVE FACILITY LOOKS BACK TO 102ND STREET WHICH AMY RUBIN TALKED ABOUT. THIS IS HOW OUR SCHOOL ZONES ARE GOING TO TRANSLATE THERE WILL HAVE A LONG SCHOOL ZONE THERE IN FRONT OF THE OLSON ELEMENTARY CENTERED ON THAT SIGNAL AGAIN WHERE THE KIDS THAT WILL DROP OUT FOR A WHILE AND THEN WE'LL UP THE SCHOOL ZONE AGAIN AS YOU APPROACH JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL, THE MAIN CROSSING WAS DISCUSSED IN AIMEE'S PRESENTATION. THERE WILL ALSO BE THE SCHOOL ZONE ON JOHNSON AVENUE DIRECTLY BETWEEN THE TWO FACILITIES AND THAT WILL BE THAT LOCAL STREET. SO THAT'S A 25 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT ON THERE. SO WE'LL JUST USE THE STATIC SIGNS FOR THAT AS OPPOSED TO THE FLASHING BEACONS WHICH WILL BE DEPLOYED ON 102ND STREET. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE'VE STILL GOT TO WORK OUT FRANCE AVENUE IT'S A BUSY ROAD THROUGH THERE. IT'S 40 MILES AN HOUR. THERE'S A NICE CROSSING AT HERITAGE HILLS DRIVE. THERE IS ALSO JUST SOUTH OF THAT A SET OF RAILROAD TRACKS AND THE CROSSING BEACONS THERE. SO WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO HERE. IT'S A COUNTY ROAD AND IT'S GOT SIGNIFICANT THINGS THAT DRIVERS HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHT AT FRANCE AVENUE AT THE INTERSECTION THAT AMY TALKED ABOUT THAT'S HENNEPIN COUNTY OWNED AND OPERATED. WE NEED TO EXPLORE HOW WE CAN OR IF IT'S FEASIBLE OR SENSIBLE TO EXTEND THE SCHOOL ZONES ACROSS THOSE INTERSECTIONS LIKE THAT. AGAIN, THE PRIMARY THING WE WANT PEOPLE DO TO SIGNAL IS PAY ATTENTION TO THE SIGNAL AND DRIVE ACCORDINGLY. SO IF IMPLEMENT SCHOOL ZONES WITH FLASHING BEACONS, IS THAT GOING TO TAKE AWAY FROM AND SO WE'RE GOING TO SEEK SOME HELP WITH THAT AS WELL AS A PARTNERSHIP THE COUNTY AND SEE WHAT'S POSSIBLE THERE. SO THAT'S WORK THAT'S OUTSTANDING FOR RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT THE SCHOOLS ON THE 102ND AS WELL AS JOHNSON AVENUE AND WE'LL PICK OFF THOSE OTHER ISSUES AS WE LEARN MORE AND HAVE TIME TO ADDRESS THEM. THAT'S RELEVANT BECAUSE. THE NEXT SCHOOL THAT WE NEED TO GET IN THE Q IS KENNEDY OVER ON OLD SHAKOPEE ROAD AND NICOLLET AND WE HAVE ALL THOSE ISSUES THERE. THERE'S A SIGNAL THAT'S ACTIVELY USED AND THERE'S BEACONS NICOLLET AVENUE WHERE KIDS CROSS AND THERE'S HUNDREDS OF KIDS CROSSING THERE. THERE'S ALSO A SIGNAL THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT THAT WE'RE ADDING AND ALL CHICOPEE ROAD. THEY'RE AT THAT HIGH SCHOOL TOO. SO HOW CAN WE ADD SCHOOL ZONES AND DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO ADD SCHOOL ZONES HERE TO REDUCE THAT SPEED IN LIGHT OF THESE OTHER THINGS? AND SO AGAIN GOING TO SEEK SOME OUTSIDE HELP AND SEEK SOME PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTIES WHERE WE HOW WE CAN ROLL THAT OUT HERE IN A WAY THAT'S GOING TO BE EFFECTIVE AND ACTUALLY PROTECT THE SAFETY NEXT STEPS. THE EQUIPMENT'S ON ORDER. THE REQUEST FOR BIDS TO HELP US WITH THE WORK IS COMPLETE. WE'RE WORKING THROUGH COORDINATION WITH THE SCHOOL STAFF. WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT INCLUDING SOME TRAINING FOR THEM AND HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHY AND HOW THEY CAN ENFORCE THAT. AND THEN WE'RE DOING AND OUTREACH OUR PLAN IS TO GET THESE IN PLACE BY THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE DON'T CONTROL. THE EQUIPMENT IS SPECIALIZED. IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING OFF THE SHELF IT HAS TO BE BUILT AS WELL AS THE INSTALLATION AND SO WE ARE THESE FOR THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH THE HOPE THAT WILL HAVE THEM IN PLACE BUT THEY BE A FEW WEEKS BEYOND THAT BUT WE'LL HAVE THEM IN PLACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND THEN WE START PICKING OFF OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE CITY SOME COMMISSIONERS THAT'S WHAT I HAVE I APPRECIATE THOUGHTS, FEEDBACK AND CONVERSATION ON THIS. I THINK MR. ROBERTS QUESTIONS LISA THANK YOU CHAIR IS ALL CHICOPEE COUNTY ROAD OUR CITY ROAD COMMISSIONER EAST OF THAT IS A ROAD. OKAY. AND AT WHAT POINT DOES IT TRANSITION FROM 98TH ALWAYS WONDER. YEAH GOOD QUESTION. SO RIGHT HERE AT THE RAILROAD TRACKS IT DEPARTS SO OLD CHICOPEE OFF TO THE WEST AS YOU COME UP TO THE RAILROAD TRACKS IS HEAD OF IN COUNTY 98TH STREET JUST OUTSIDE CITY HALL IS CITY AND THEN IT TURNS TO COUNTY JUST AFTER THE RAILROAD TRACKS AS YOU HEAD OFF TO THE EAST HERE. SO RIGHT IN FRONT OF US OKAY. YEAH PRETTY MUCH NEARBY AND I THINK YOU MR. CUNNINGHAM, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS EQUIPMENT'S ORDERED SO THIS QUESTION'S MORE FOR CLARITY THE FLASHING LIGHTS WITH THE SIGNS THE FOUR LANE ROADS ARE THOSE ALWAYS ON DURING THE HOURS THAT THEY'VE BEEN PROGRAMED FOR SCHOOL OR ARE THEY JUST ON WHEN THEY DETECT A VEHICLE OR SELECT HOURS DURING THE DAY? YEAH MR. CUNNINGHAM THEY ARE ON DURING THE PROGRAMED HOURS THAT WE TELL THEM TO AND THAT WILL BE WHEN SO IF WE HAVE SCHOOL IN SESSION SAY 730. SURE THAT'S TRUE BUT 730 WILL ADD YOU KNOW A HALF HOUR OR SO BEFORE THAT, 45 MINUTES BEFORE THAT AND THEN ONCE SCHOOL IS IN SESSION ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR AFTER THAT THE BEACON WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND THEIR SOLAR OPERATED TOO AT THIS POINT. SO THANK YOU AND PARTICULARLY FOR THE STATIC SIGNS WHERE YOU SHOWED OKAY 73243 USE THEY'RE COORDINATED WITH THE SCHOOL BASED ON THEIR THEIR HOURS OF OPERATIONS OR IT IS CORRECT THE THOSE CHANGED VERY OFTEN OR ARE WE OKAY THERE I'M GOING TO DEFER TO AMY MAROON THAT QUESTION CHAIR CORRECT. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT AND STOP TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT THIS THAT RANGE OF TIME SPECIFICALLY SELECTED TO ENCOMPASS ALL OF THE RANGES. I THINK THERE'S LIKE FOUR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS OF START AND STOP JUST TO TAKE BEST ADVANTAGE OF THEIR BUSSING. MR. ROBERTS WHEN THE SCHOOL ZONE IS ENDING. WHAT IS THAT SIGN? IS SIGNAGE IS IT JUST GOING BACK THE OTHER SPEED LIMITERS AS THEY END THE SCHOOL OR THAT'S CORRECT. THE AT THE END OF A SCHOOL ZONE WHETHER IT'S THE BEACONS OR JUST THE STATIC SIGNS IT'LL SAY IN SCHOOL SPEED ZONE AND THEN IT'LL AFFIRM THE EXISTING SPEED LIMIT. SO ON THE 102ND THEN IT'LL HAVE A 30 MILE AN HOUR SIGN JUST BELOW THAT ONE AND THEN ON THE LOCAL STREETS IT WILL JUST SAY 25 MILES AN HOUR BY ORDINANCE. IS THERE CONSIDERATION TO KEEP THESE ON DURING THE SUMMER IF THE SCHOOL HAS SUMMER PROGRAMING AND THAT TYPE OF THING THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. WE CAN DO THAT AND WE WILL COORDINATE THAT WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. A LOT OF THESE FACILITIES ARE USED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER SUMMER SCHOOL IS A IS CERTAINLY WAS A THING FOR ME. I SPENT A LOT OF MY SUMMERS THERE BUT THEY HAVE ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WILL. COORDINATE WITH THEM AND PROGRAM ACCORDINGLY. HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS THE COMMISSIONER I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER CRAIG, GO AHEAD. THANK YOU CHAIR ESPARZA AND THE SAME THREAD I MEAN IT COULD BE DONE WHERE IT SITS AS AND I MISSED IT OR JUST CHILDREN ARE PRESENT AT THE SPEED LIMIT AS IN FORESTER COMMISSIONER CURRY THOSE SIGNS ARE A POSSIBILITY THE 20 MILES AN HOUR WHEN CHILDREN PRESENT THEY'RE NOT WELL LOVED THEY'RE NOT LOVED BY POLICE. IT MAKES IT CHALLENGING WHEN YOU ISSUE A TICKET AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE ALWAYS VERY CLEAR IF IF A CHILD IS PRESENT THIS SUMMER FOR INSTANCE IS THAT YOU KNOW, ARE THEY JUST IS THAT A SCHOOL'S OR ISSUE? SO IT IS A POSSIBILITY AND I CAN SOME USES FOR THEM IN THE CITY. I'M HOPING TO NOT USE THAT MUCH. I JUST DON'T THINK THROUGH A TERRIBLY EFFECTIVE SIGN. OKAY. YEAH, I JUST FIGURED MAYBE WITH THE FOOTBALL STADIUM THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL AS WELL. YOU KNOW I GUESS JUST AN OBSERVATION AND THAT IN TOTAL RESPECT AND REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING IT IS THAT YOU ALL DO BUT WHEN I READ SOMETHING LIKE THE SEGMENT IS FREQUENTLY BROUGHT UP AS AN AREA OF CONCERN BY RESIDENTS AND THEN LIKE WITH THE JEFFERSON FOOTBALL STADIUM IT'S RECOMMENDED BY STAFF TO PASS THIS AND WE'VE GOT LIKE A 50TH PERCENTILE SAFETY RATING FOR A SCHOOL AREA. I JUST DON'T THOSE THOSE THINGS SEEM TO CONFLICT WITH ME SO I JUST I DON'T KNOW I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT SO I DON'T JUST AN OBSERVATION, MR. MCGOVERN. I DO A QUESTION FOR 102ND TO AND AS MUCH AS I DRIVE DON'T 102ND AND I DO HAVE A TENDENCY TO SPEAK IS THERE ANY INDICATOR FOR THESE SIGNS GO UP THAT IT WILL INDICATE THE SPEED AND THAT YOU'RE GOING ABOVE THE 20 MILE AN HOUR? COMMISSIONER MCGOVERN, WE DO HAVE SIGNS THAT DO THAT WE HAVE SOME ARE STATIC THAT WE'VE SET IN ONE LOCATION. WE HAVE OTHERS THAT ARE MOBILE THAT WE DEPLOY AROUND THE CITY. THAT'S CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY . I'M NOT SURE IF WE'RE GOING TO USE THEM HERE IN A SCHOOL AREA AGAIN JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO OVERLOAD DRIVERS IF WE CAN FIND A BENEFIT FOR USING THOSE FEEDBACK SIGNS LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WE'LL DO SO BUT ALWAYS THE RISK IS THAT WE ARE OVERLOADING WITH DRIVERS AND THEY'RE LOOKING AT THAT SIGN AND WONDERING ABOUT THEIR SPEED AND THEY MISS THAT YOUNG PERSON CROSSING AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO WE'LL CERTAINLY USE THOSE AS THEY'RE APPLICABLE. WE USE THEM VERY CAUTIOUSLY IN THE SCHOOL AREAS. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STEPH SEE NOW THANK YOU MR. ROBERTS AND THANK YOU MS.
