INITIATION:

LOCATION:

Utility improvements amount to $X_________ and will be funded through the City’s

utility funds. Sidewalk improvements are estimated to cost $X_________ and will

be funded through the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund.

The project was initiated by the Engineering Department as part of the City’s

Neighborhood Reconstruction Program, identified in the Capital Improvement Plan.

The project complies with the City’s Living Streets Policy, Vision Edina’s mission

statement to “provide effective and valued public services” and “maintain a sound

public infrastructure” and the “Strong Foundations” City budget goal. This project

addresses updating substandard infrastructure with improvements associated with the

roadway condition, watermain system, storm sewer system, sanitary sewer system

and pedestrian facilities.

The project includes West 70th Street, Antrim Court, Antrim Road, Antrim Terrace,

Down Road, Dublin Circle, Dublin Road, Fleetwood Drive, Kemrich Drive, Kerry Road,

Lanham Lane, Lee Valley Circle, Lee Valley Road, Shannon Drive, Tara Road, Tralee

Drive, Village Drive, Weston Circle, and Wexford Road. A detailed location map of the

project is shown in Figure 1.

EXISTING

CONDITIONS:

Roadways

The roadways in the Prospect Knolls A, C, and D neighborhood were originally

constructed between 1958 and 1990 (see Photo 1).

Photo 1: Prospect Knolls A/C/D Neighborhood, 1969

Approximately 2/3 of roadways in the project area have existing curb and gutter,

primarily the streets east of and including Antrim Court, Antrim Terrace and Shannon

Drive. The average roadway width is 28 feet (measured from the face of curb to the

face of curb or edge of pavement). The roadways located south and west of Village

Drive are privately owned and maintained. A recent geotechnical evaluation of the

project area shows the roadway section varies from 1.75 inches to 8 inches of

bituminous pavement and 3.0 inches to 23.75 inches of aggregate base, over a poorly

graded sand and silty sand base.

As part of the City’s Pavement Management Program, all streets are regularly

evaluated and rated on a scale from 1 to 100; 100 representing a brand-new road

surface and 0 being extremely poor. This rating is referred to as the Pavement

Condition Index (PCI), and is determined based on existing conditions and defects

(alligator cracking, raveling, potholes, etc.). The average PCI for the City of Edina is

4

Page 11 of 275

Engineering Study

Prospect Knolls A, C, & D Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458

October 17, 2025

78 and the average PCI for Prospect Knolls A/C/D is 25. An example of the current

pavement condition can be seen in Photo 2.

Photo 2: Existing Pavement Condition

The existing geometry of the intersections at Kerry Road/Wexford Road and

Wexford Road/Down Road creates a large radius and wide pavement on the

southeast side of Wexford Road between the Down Road and Kerry Road

intersections. This allows southbound vehicles on Kerry Road that turn onto

Wexford Avenue and then take an immediate left onto Down Road to comfortably

maneuver through the two intersections at speeds higher than typical or desirable for

conventional intersections. The existing geometry of this intersection is shown in

Figure 2.

Driveways

There are many unique driveways throughout the project area which include brick

pavers and colored concrete. Photo 3 shows an example of a driveway with brick

pavers in the project area.

Photo 3: Brick Paver Driveway

Cul-de-Sacs

There are nine cul-de-sacs within the project area. Six (Antrim Court, Antrim

Terrace, Dublin Circle, Shannon Drive, Tara Road and Weston Circle), have

existing curb and gutter. Two (Antrim Court and Shannon Drive), have center

islands that contain trees, boulders and landscaping. Four cul-de-sacs’ diameters are

smaller than the City’s standard diameter of 70’ and four are larger than the

standard diameter.

Traffic and Crash Data

Staff measured traffic volumes and speeds at several locations within or near the

neighborhood. Average daily traffic volumes within the neighborhood range between

291 and 754 vehicles per day with 85th percentile speeds between 25.2 and 29 miles

per hour. Traffic and crash data for this project is shown in Appendix A.

Landscaping

Numerous property owners have landscaping within the right of way. Many of

these landscape items are located directly behind the curb. Some of these landscape

7

Gas, electric, communications, cable and fiber optic utilities are present in the

neighborhood. These utilities are a combination of overhead and underground

facilities located in backyards or along the boulevards. Street lighting within the

project area consists of standard “cobra head” fixtures mounted on wooden poles

and lantern-style fixtures mounted on fiberglass poles as shown in Appendix E. All

lighting is owned by Xcel Energy.

City Council

2018 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan

This plan, part of the draft 2018 Comprehensive Plan, was developed to guide the

City’s efforts to create a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. As shown

in Appendix B, a sidewalk is proposed along Shannon Drive between Dewey Hill Road

and Kemrich Drive, Kemrich Drive between Shannon Drive and Fleetwood Drive,

Fleetwood Drive, and Lanham Lane between Fleetwood Drive and West 70th Street.

Appendix C shows no proposed bicycle facilities within the project area.

2015 Living Streets Policy

This policy balances the needs of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders

in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create

economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability and provide meaningful

opportunities for active living and better health. The City will apply the Policy to all

street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction,

reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or change in the allocation of

pavement space on an existing roadway. The Living Streets Plan includes 15 principles

to guide implementation of the Policy, divided into four categories: All Users and All

Modes, Connectivity, Context Sensitivity and Sustainability. Below is a summary of

how these principles are incorporated into this project:

All Users and All Modes – This project will improve mobility and access to the

transportation network for a variety of users, including pedestrians, cyclists, children,

seniors and the disabled. Replacement of the pavement surfaces and traffic control

signage will enhance safety and convenience for all users.

Connectivity – This project involves maintaining a transportation system that can

accommodate all modes of travel.

Context Sensitivity – Engineering strives to preserve and protect natural features

within or adjacent to construction sites where feasible, including trees, waterways

and sensitive slopes. Residents within the project area were invited to complete a

questionnaire soliciting input on project design components, including multi-modal

transportation and local drainage problems.

9

Page 16 of 275

Engineering Study

Prospect Knolls A, C, & D Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458

October 17, 2025

Sustainability – Engineering works closely with Public Works to implement

infrastructure improvements with consideration of lifecycle costs and future

maintenance. The new roadway section can be easily maintained long-term with the

use of proactive rehabilitation treatments, which will significantly extend the life of

the pavement. Reductions in impervious surfaces benefit water quality, and may lessen

the demand for chemicals to manage snow and ice (such as chloride). Construction

operations are required to use the smallest footprint necessary to complete the work;

this includes utilizing trenchless technologies, such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place

pipe liners. This project will also reduce inflow and infiltration of clean water into the

sanitary sewer system, minimizing regional wastewater treatment, reducing the risk

of sewage surcharges and limiting the risk of back-ups to residential properties.

Relevant portions of the Living Streets Plan can be found in Appendix F.

[2025 COMMENTS]

Residents

As part of the Engineering Department’s practice of notifying residents 2-3 years prior

to a potential reconstruction project, residents were invited to numerous in person

or virtual open houses between September 2017 and August 2025. Residents were

10

Page 17 of 275

Engineering Study

Prospect Knolls A, C, & D Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458

October 17, 2025

invited to an informational presentation and were able to directly ask questions to

staff in August 2025. Residents were notified of a recorded video version of the

August 2025 informational presentation posted on the Better Together Edina website,

where residents were able to ask questions to staff from the Better Together Edina

website, as well as telephone and email. Materials from the August 2025 informational

presentation can be found in Appendix I.

On June 25, 2025, residents were asked to complete a questionnaire, soliciting

feedback on motorized and non-motorized transportation and local drainage

problems within the project area. The questionnaire was completed by 74 of 283

property owners, a return rate of 26%.

The following is a summary of feedback received from residents:

• 25 of 74 (34%*) were concerned or very concerned with the speed of traffic

in the neighborhood; 49 (66%) were not concerned.

• 8 of 74 (11%*) were concerned or very concerned with the volume of traffic

or number of vehicles in the neighborhood; 65 (89%) were not concerned.

• 23 of 74 (31%*) concerned or very concerned with motorist behavior in the

neighborhood; 51 (69%) were not concerned.

• 34 of 74 (47%) identified an unsafe intersection within the neighborhood.

• 45 of 74 (76%) walk, run, or jog in the neighborhood at least 2-3 times per

week.

• 22 of 74 (31%) ride a bicycle in the neighborhood at least 2-3 times per week.

• 5 of 74 (7%) reported parking on the street at least 2-3 times per week;

56 (77%) reported parking on the street less than once per month.

• 10 of 74 (14%) identified localized drainage problems in the neighborhood.

*Percentages based on number of returned surveys

The full questionnaire and responses can be found in Appendix J.

Relevant correspondence from residents regarding the project can be found in

Appendix K.

The proposed improvements acknowledge many of the comments and concerns

raised by residents throughout the information gathering process, while still

maintaining the desired minimum standards of Engineering, Public Works and other

City staff. The proposed improvements also align with the Budget Work Plan values

and goals developed by the City Council and staff.

Roadways

Typical Section

The bituminous roadways are proposed to be completely reconstructed to the

subgrade. The existing bituminous pavement and suitable aggregate material will be

recycled for use as base material in the new roadway where feasible. A minimum of

8” of aggregate base material will be graded and compacted as the base layer prior to

placement of 2.5” of bituminous non-wear and 1.5” of bituminous wear course.

11

PROPOSED

IMPROVEMENTS:

Page 18 of 275

Engineering Study

Prospect Knolls A, C, & D Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction BA-458

October 17, 2025

Unsuitable subgrade materials will be replaced as necessary to provide adequate

support for the new roadbed. Significant subgrade removals may occur where areas

of clay soils are present. The reconstructed sections will meet the requirements of a

minimum 20-year pavement design life based on projected traffic loadings.

All roadways within the project area are designated as Local Streets in the Living

Streets Plan. Per this plan’s design guidelines, Local Streets have concrete curb and

gutter and a typical width of 27’ (measured from the face of curb to the face of curb)

without sidewalks or 24’ with a 5’ sidewalk on one side. Local streets that vary from

the guidelines are as follows:

• Kerry Road will be reconstructed to a 24-foot width to minimize impacts on

mature trees and existing retaining walls, and to account for the steep slopes

present in the boulevards.

• Village Drive will be reconstructed to 30 feet to accommodate additional

parking and to match the privately owned and maintained street widths south

and west of Village Drive.

Parking

Per the Living Streets Plan, on-street parking should be evaluated based on

classification, adjacent land uses, existing demand and costs of construction and

maintenance.

One-sided parking is proposed on Fleetwood Drive, Kemrich Drive, Shannon Drive

between Dewey Hill Road and Fleetwood Drive, and Lanham Lane between

Fleetwood Drive and West 70th Street due to the proposed pedestrian facilities (see

pedestrian facilities below). One-sided parking is also proposed on Kerry Drive due

to the proposed 24’ street width. Given the existing demand for parking, staff believes

that parking changes should not occur on any other streets in the project area.

The existing and proposed street widths and parking recommendations are shown in

Figure 7 through 10, Table 1 and Appendix L.

or two feet. A double yellow pavement marking stripe will be added to the

intersections, discouraging drivers from crossing over the centerline.

The proposed geometry of the Down Road and Lee Valley Road intersection is shown

in Figure 11. The proposed roadway will move west from its existing location to be

more centered within the right of way. However, the roadway may only move

approximately 1–3 feet due to existing retaining walls and power pole guy wires on

the west and southwest side of the roadway. The widths of Down Road and Lee

Valley Road are proposed to be 27 feet from face of curb to face of curb. The width

of the roadway through the curve is proposed to be 30 feet in order to help snow

plow drivers maneuver the turn easier. The southern curb line through the curve is

proposed to receive surmountable curb so snow plows can safely and easily push

snow into the boulevard.

Figure 11: Proposed Down Rd/Lee Valley Rd Intersection

Roadway Signage

All traffic signage within the project area, including street name blades, will be replaced

to improve visibility and reflectivity (see Appendix E). All new signs will conform to

the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Driveways

Driveways will be affected by construction and will be reconstructed. The unique

driveways throughout the project area, including brick pavers, will be re-laid with the

intent to replicate existing conditions to the extent practicable.

Cul-de-Sacs

Due to the location of existing retaining walls, utility poles, large trees, and available

right-of-way, no significant change to the size and geometrics of the cul-de-sacs are

proposed. Minor geometric changes are proposed to allow for better turning

movements where feasible.

Landscaping

Any landscaping disturbed by construction will be replaced with the intent to replicate

existing conditions to the extent practicable.

Multi-Modal Transportation

Staff seeks to balance the recommendations of the City’s guiding documents (Living

Streets Plan, Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and Climate Action Plan), feedback

from affected residents, available right-of-way and potential tree and infrastructure

impacts.

Staff is proposing new sidewalks on the following streets as recommended in the

Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan:

• The east side of Shannon Dr from Dewey Hill Rd to Kemrich Dr

• The north side of Kemrich Dr from Shannon Dr to Fleetwood Dr

• The west side of Fleetwood Dr, and

• The south / west side of Lanham Ln between Fleetwood Dr and W 70th St

Staff is also proposing a new sidewalk on the north side of Kemrich Dr between

Fleetwood Dr and Tara Rd. This sidewalk is not included in the Pedestrian and

Bicycle Master Plan, but will connect the other proposed sidewalks to the trail at

Lewis Park. Figure 12 shows all existing and proposed pedestrian facilities (also

detailed in Table 1 above).

Locations were selected by staff based on existing topography, connections to

existing facilities and private utility conflicts, and maintenance. The grass boulevards

that will separate the new curb and the proposed sidewalks is proposed to be 5’-

wide but may vary depending on construction conflicts. Separation from vehicle

traffic creates a more pedestrian-friendly environment and is preferred by Public

Works for snow storage. The extra width needed for the sidewalks and boulevards

will be balanced between both sides of the street, where feasible.

All adjacent pedestrian curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet the current design

standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and portions of the existing

sidewalks will be reconstructed as necessary.

As the proposed sidewalk segments are not along Municipal State Aid routes,

adjacent to City property nor included in the City’s Active Routes to School Plan,

they will be maintained by the adjacent property owners.

Bicycle Facilities

There are no proposed bicycle facilities in this project area.

Private Utilities

Staff will meet with representatives of several private utility companies in December

2025, to discuss the proposed 2026 reconstruction project and preliminary

improvements. Portions of the private utility networks may receive upgrades prior to

construction; however, this work is not part of the City’s project.

Currently, the City does not have a standard to determine where and when street

lighting should be improved. Unlike other infrastructure improvements, lighting can

be installed at a later date with minimal disturbance through the use of trenchless

technologies. The lighting in the neighborhood is sufficient to delineate the

intersections; therefore, staff is recommending no revisions to the current street

lighting.

RIGHT-OF-WAY/

EASEMENTS:

Existing right-of-way in this neighborhood varies from 40’ to 60’. It is anticipated that

the majority of this project can be constructed within existing ROW; temporary

construction easements may be required for utility improvements within existing

permanent easements.

19

October 17, 2025

Many properties have special mailboxes, retaining walls, vegetation, boulders or other

landscaped items within the right-of-way. A portion of these landscape items will

interfere with some of the proposed infrastructure improvements and will need to

be removed to complete the necessary work.

INTRODUCTION

The Living Streets Policy was developed to provide the framework for a Living Streets Plan. The policy

initially stood alone and included sections to guide the creation of the Living Street Plan. This revised

policy is now an integral part of the Living Streets Plan.

The Living Streets Policy ties directly to key community goals outlined in the City’s 2008 Comprehensive

Plan. Those goals include safe walking, bicycling and driving; reduced storm water runoff, reduced energy

consumption, and promoting health. The Living Streets Policy also compliments voluntary City initiatives

such the “do.town” effort related to community health, Tree City USA and the Green Step Cities programs

related to sustainability. In other cases, the Living Streets Policy will assist the City in meeting mandatory

requirements set by other agencies.

The Living Streets Policy is broken up into three

parts: Vision, Principles and Implementation. The

Policy is followed by a description of core services

provided by the City of Edina that are related to or

implemented in part through Living Streets.

Mini Fact

Expect cyclists on the road. Watch for

cyclists on the road. Treat them as you

would any slow-moving vehicle.

POLICY

Living Streets balance the needs of motorists,

bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community

identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability, and provide meaningful

opportunities for active living and better health. The Living Streets Policy defines Edina’s vision for Living

Streets, the principles Living Streets will embody, and the plan that will guide implementation of their

construction.

LIVING STREETS VISION

Edina is a place where ...

• Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible;

• Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike;

•

•

Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity;

Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity;

• Public policy strives to promote sustainability through balanced infrastructure investments;

• Environmental stewardship and reduced energy consumption are pursued in public and private

sectors alike; and

•

Streets support vibrant commerce and add to the value of adjacent land uses.

8

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Page 44 of 275LIVING STREETS PRINCIPLES

Fifteen principles guide implementation of the Living Streets Policy in the areas of all users and all

modes, connectivity, context sensitivity and sustainability. The City will incorporate these principles when

planning for and designing the local transportation network and when making public and private land use

decisions.

All Users and All Modes

Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of

the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and

the disabled; and

Principle 2:

Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while

enhancing safety and convenience for all users.

Connectivity

Principle 3: The City designs, operates and maintains a transportation system that provides

a highly connected network of streets that accommodate all modes of travel;

Principle 4: The City seeks opportunities to overcome barriers to active transportation by

preserving and repurposing existing rights-of-way and adding new rights-

of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit;

Principle 5: The City prioritizes improvements to non-motorized connections to key

destinations such as public facilities, public transit, the regional transportation

network and commercial areas;

Principle 6: The City will require new developments to provide interconnected street and

Principle 7:

sidewalk networks that connect to existing or planned streets or sidewalks

on the perimeter of the development; and

Projects will include consideration of the logical termini by mode. For

example, the logical termini for a bike lane or sidewalk may extend beyond the

traditional limits of a street construction or reconstruction project, in order to

ensure multimodal connectivity and continuity.

Context Sensitivity

Principle 8:

Principle 9:

Living Streets are developed with input from stakeholders and designed to

consider neighborhood character and promote a strong sense of place;

Living Streets preserve and protect natural features such as waterways, urban

forest, sensitive slopes and soils;

Principle 10: Living Streets are designed and built with coordination between business and

property owners along commercial corridors to develop vibrant commercial

districts;

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

9

Page 45 of 275

Principle 11: Living Streets coordinate with regional transit networks and regional

authorities; and

Principle 12: The City will consider the fiscal context of projects and potential financial

impacts when implementing Living Streets at the project level.

Sustainability

Principle 13: Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public,

Principle 14: Living Streets will reduce environmental impacts associated with the

construction and operation of roadways; and

Principle 15: The City will increase the life span and resilience of its infrastructure and will

build infrastructure with consideration for lifecycle costs and ease

of maintenance.

LIVING STREETS IMPLEMENTATION

The City of Edina will develop Living Streets in the regular course of business of maintaining, expanding

or redeveloping the road network and will be guided by the Vision and Principles established above.

Implementation will happen predominantly through the neighborhood street reconstruction program, but

also though specific stand-alone stormwater utility, pedestrian, bicycle or safety projects.

Project prioritization is not specifically part of the Living Streets Plan. Prioritization of projects takes

place in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and Budget and is determined by the City Council with

guidance from the Living Streets Vision and Principles.

The City will actively promote and apply the Living Streets Policy and Plan by:

• Applying the Living Streets Policy and Plan to all street projects, including those involving

operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or

changes in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. This also includes privately

built roads, sidewalks, paths and trails.

• Drawing on all sources of transportation funding and actively pursuing grants, cost-sharing

opportunities and other new or special funding sources as applicable.

• Through all City departments supporting the vision and principles outlined in this Plan in their

work.

• By acting as an advocate for Living Streets principles when a local transportation or land use

decision is under the jurisdiction of another agency.

Projects that implement Living Streets will be guided by pedestrian and cyclist network plans and roadway

classifications and will consider the physical, social, ecologic, regulatory and economic context in a given

project area.

10

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Page 46 of 275

The project delivery system used to build Living Streets will:

•

Systematically engage Edina residents and project stakeholders to better inform project-level

recommendations.

• Keep Edina residents and project stakeholders informed about Living Streets and the range of services

they help provide.

• Follow minimum Living Streets design requirements and standards.

• Manage construction impacts to residents and users of streets.

Network

The creation of a Living Streets network of road, pedestrian and bicycle facilities provides mobility,

accessibility and access to people, places and spaces. The resulting interconnection of neighborhoods links

people to goods and services and to one another, and increases quality of life for those who live in, work

in, or visit the city.

Existing and planned transportation networks are identified in the City of Edina Comprehensive Plan and

other approved/adopted plans. Network plans include:

• Roadway Network (Functional Classification, Jurisdictional Classification)

•

Sidewalk Facilities

• Bicycle Facilities (Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan)

• Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan

• Transit Service

Network plans are approved by the City Council. In most cases, modification requires an amendment of

the Comprehensive Plan.

The expansion, creation and improvement of pedestrian and bicycle networks will be well planned and

prioritized:

• Expansion of existing networks and providing connections to key traffic generators or destinations

provide immediate benefit to all network users and is a top priority.

• Network connections serving vulnerable users such as children, seniors and the disabled are a top

priority.

• Network connections serving high-volume uses such as schools, retail destinations or regional

public transit are a top priority.

Exceptions

Living Streets principles will be included in all street construction, reconstruction, repaving and

rehabilitation projects, except under one or more of the conditions listed below. City staff will document

proposed exceptions as part of a project proposal.

• A project involves only ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable

condition, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair or pothole filling,

or when interim measures are implemented on a temporary detour. Such maintenance activities,

however, shall consider and meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians.

12

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Page 48 of 275• The City exempts a project due to an excessively disproportionate cost of establishing a bikeway,

walkway or transit enhancement as part of a project.

• The City determines that the construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because

of significant or adverse environmental impacts to waterways, flood plains, remnants or native

vegetation, wetlands or other critical areas.

• Available budget is constrained or project timing allows more efficient construction at a later date.

Engagement

Members of the public have an interest in understanding and providing input for public projects. Project

recommendations will be developed with a transparent and defined level of public engagement. The

public will have access to the decision-making process and decision makers via public meetings and

other correspondence and will be provided the opportunity to give input throughout the process. Project

reports will discuss how their input helped to influence recommendations and decisions. The City of

Edina’s Living Streets will continue to engage and solicit public input as a vital component of the project

implementation process. See Chapter 5 for a more detailed discussion regarding the purpose of and

opportunities for public engagement.

Design

The guidelines contained in the Living Streets Plan will be used to direct the planning, funding, design,

construction, operation and maintenance of new and modified streets, sidewalks, paths and trails. The

guidelines allow for context-sensitive designs.

The Design Guidelines (see Chapter 6):

• Keep street pavement widths to the minimum necessary.

• Provide well-designed pedestrian accommodation in the form of sidewalks or shared-use

pathways on all arterial, collector and local connector streets. Sidewalks shall also be required

where streets abut a public school, public building, community playfield or neighborhood park.

Termini will be determined by context.

• Provide frequent, convenient and safe street crossings. These may be at intersections designed to

be pedestrian friendly, or at mid-block locations where needed and appropriate.

• Provide bicycle accommodation on all primary bike routes.

• Allocate right-of-way for boulevards.

• Allocate right-of-way for parking only when necessary and not in conflict with Living Streets

principles.

• Consider streets as part of our natural ecosystem and incorporate landscaping, trees, rain gardens

and other features to improve air and water quality.

The Design Guidelines in this Plan will be incorporated into other City plans, manuals, rules, regulations

and programs as appropriate. As new and better practices evolve, the City will update this Living Streets

Plan. Minimum standards will guide how vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle networks interact and share

public right of way.

The ability to measure the performance of a plan, as well as knowing that it is functioning as it is intended,

is vitally important to overall success and the ability to sustain it. With this in mind, the City will monitor

and measure its performance relative to the Living Streets Policy. Benchmarks that will demonstrate

success include:

Every street and neighborhood is a comfortable place for walking and bicycling.

This does not mean that every street in the city will have walking and biking facilities. It means that each

neighborhood will provide a network of these facilities such that walking and biking to and through

neighborhoods is a comfortable experience.

Every child can walk or bike to school or a park safely.

It is essential that alternatives to driving to school or parks be provided to children and their caregivers.

These alternatives – walking or bicycling – will be both safe and convenient modes of transportation. See

the Edina Active Routes to School Plan for more information.

Seniors, children, and disabled people can cross all streets safely and comfortably.

Opportunities to cross all streets in Edina, including local, collectors and arterial streets, will be provided.

These crossings will be safe and comfortable for all users, regardless of age or ability.

An active way of life is available to all.

Opportunities for active living should be made available to all members of the Edina community by

connecting centers of activity via active, multimodal transportation. Each resident of and visitor to Edina

will have the ability to lead an active way of life.

There are zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries.

Perhaps the ultimate safety benchmark is zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Modeled from the Vision

Zero Initiative (www.visionzeroinitiative.com), an aspirational yet primary goal of Living Streets is to

achieve this high level of safety on the City’s roadways.

Reduce untreated street water flows into local waterways and reduce storm water volume.

Cost-effective stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are strategically selected to go above and

beyond regulatory requirements to provide for flood protection and clean water services through the use of

infrastructure that retains, settles, filters, infiltrates, diverts or reduces the volume of stormwater that flows

to local surface waters.

Retail streets stay or become popular regional destinations.

Part of Edina’s Living Streets vision is that “streets support vibrant commerce.” While most of the city’s

streets are residential, Edina’s business districts are a vital part of the community. The benefits of Living

Streets extend to retail streets as well, making them more attractive to businesses and consumers alike.

Standing water in backyard during rainy years.

Cul de sac additional storm drains and backyard storm and sewer

drains with fairly steep grade. Special drainage is in place and seems

to work OK.

Fleetwood is a popular connecting street between 70th and Dewey -

we have a lot of thru traffic that drives excessive speeds. Neighbor

traffic tends to be good speed as we all understand.

Antrim Court sometimes has people speeding quite a bit. Also Antrim

road, Kerry Road, Wexford Road, Down Road and Lee Valley road

have quite a bit of speeding. It can be a little dangerous on these

roads because there are not sidewalks and the turn from Wexford to

Down road is sharp, blind and the trees grow way into the road.

northbound on fleetwood towards Lanham and westbound up

Lanham beginning east of Fleetwood to w70th. People drive way to

fast especially considering the amount of people who walk, kids

playing, etc.

Antrim RD, narrow and fast. Antrim Rd should not have street

parking.

All of Fleetwood Drive - seems like a cut through. Not a lot of cars but

travel fast

I live at 7201 Lanham Lane. We have 3 active children ages 13, 11,

and 8 that use the front yard for soccer, lacrosse and running around.

They also use the driveway and street for scooters and bikes. There

generally aren't too may cars, but there are plenty of them that drive

down the street well over 30 mph.

Cahill Road and 70th Street are both posted at 25 mph which is

nonsense. Should be minimum 30 mph or 40 like other equivalent

streets like Gleason and Vernon. No vehicles, including City of Edina

cars and trucks, go 25.

Traffic using Fleetwood as a through street travels faster than the

speed limit. The curve and elevation change between 7212 and 7216

creates a blind spot for traffic headed south. We’ve seen drivers have

close calls with kids playing in driveways who have run out after balls

into the street. We do not want to see the street narrowed as a

solution.

Occasional fast cars. Not a significant issue, but kids play in front

The speed limit on Cahill is too low (especially for a hill).

Cahill Rd between 70th and 78th. Most drivers respect the speed limit

of 25 mph but some cars seem to go 40 mph. Please continue

occasional radar/ticketing. Also, after school some (probably Edina

HS students) speed down the hill on 70th heading east to the Cahill

Rd intersection.

out in the afternoons during the school year.

Very concerned. My vehicle was totaled last year at the intersection of

Dewey. Hill and Shannon. Westbound driver blew through the stop

sign and broadsided me. He said he didn't know there was a stop

sign. Many do rolling stops and assume they have right of way on

Dewey, even though drivers on Shannon stopped. Also, at Cahill and

Dewey a traffic circle should replace the goofy intersection currently

there.

Motorists constantly coasting through the stop sign at 70th and Tracy

Ave.

Both rolling stops and ignoring healers signs are a problem

Large number of drivers treat stop signs, such as the ones at

Shannon Drive/Dewey Hill Road, as yield signs, barely slowing down,

and only actually stopping if another car is approaching at the same

time.

Just UPS and FedEx drivers driving a bit too fast.

Motorists ignore the stop sign at Shannon and Kemrich for

southbound traffic.

At Dewey Hill and Shannon, people sometimes do not stop at the

stop sign. And at Kemrich and Shannon, people do not yield. Also-

turning the corner at the top of Lanham Drive is dangerous. And the

bushes at Lanham and 70th need to be cut down or trimmed as

turning traffic often doesn’t see a car there when turning.

People basically ignore the stop signs along Dewey Hill.

There is a formal posted crosswalk across 70th from Hillside/Limerick

Lanes. Cars rarely stop for pedestrians waiting to cross. Luckily, there

are usually enough gaps in traffic to cross safely but we would never

venture out into the street there unless the coast was clear (or we run

across if there is a car in the distance). Most drivers seem to think

they have the right of way there. I don’t know why.

Kerry to Down is a loop that people pay little attention to the Wexford

Antrum/70th; Make a 4 way stop

Shannon and Lee Valley &amp; Shannon and Kemrich

Hwy 62 and Tracy. (multiple issues) 1. Exiting from eastbound 62, the

sightlines are poor, and increased traffic due to cut-through traffic

during heavy traffic on 62 adds to problems. 2. Exiting from

westbound 62, there is too much traffic, and it is a relatively complex

intersection. Needs a stoplight. 3. Driving south on Tracy, the lanes

are not aligned as you pass the 62 entrance/exit (westbound) forcing

drivers to make a quick jog to the right to avoid the northbound traffic

turning left onto 62 west. Compounded by cars nudging out from exit

ramp onto Tracy given the heavy volume. 4. Similar issue when

driving northbound and trying to turn left onto 62 west. Need to pay

attention to make sure oncoming traffic notices that jog. 5. Tracy Ave

Wexford, Down and Kerry is not very say. There should be sidewalks

on that whole road from 70th to Dewey Hill. Also 70th and Antrim

should have a signal. The idea that 70th has right of way and

everyone else stops is not obvious and it leads to issues with safety.

Valleyview and Antrim should have a signal.

70th and Tracy

Lee Valley Road and Shannon Drive. With the stop sign only at one of

the three directions, it's really confusing about who has the right of

way. Same for the intersection at Kemrich and Shannon (confusion

over right of way) Where Shannon Drive meets Lee Valley (coming

from the northern most section of Shannon Drive), there is a large

flower garden that blocks visibility around the corner.

There is a weird triangle boulevard where Cahill and Dewey Hill meet

Marked pedestrian or bike lanes, better lighting

more sidewalks

The stretch of Shannon between Kemrich and Lee Valley is really

unsafe for walking. A sidewalk or a bike/walk lane would be very

helpful. Same for the stretch of Lee Valley/Down/Kerry/Antrim. Those

routes are used by kids walking to bus stops or Valley View and EHS.

And with the curves, visibility is hard making it feel unsafe.

Please don’t narrow the street. When there are cars parking in the

street, they tend to be associated with large gatherings at

neighboring houses. If the street goes down to the widths indicated

on Better Together, we are concerned about a lack of space for traffic

heading in both directions.

Village Drive looks like and drives like a lunar landing. It has patch on

top of patch.

we want the neighborhood to be a safe place for kids to play,

pedestrians, and bikers

street is in poor condition. I dont think we need sidewalks

When they came to do construction, they tore up the entire ground

and left and didn't fix it

The area is a mishmash of curvy and hilly roads. I have lived at my

current address for 18 years and outside of the absolute poor quality

of the roads, we have no issues with speeding or wreck less driving.

If you are not from our neighborhood, you will drive really slow

because of the twisty hilly roads and the potholes and road breaking

apart. We do not need any sidewalks or wider roads, we just need

new grading, paving, curbs and proper drainage at the low points of

the road. Sidewalks will ruin the quaintness of the entire Park Knolls

Neiborhood. I love all of the green space we have and like I have said

already, the twisty and hilly roads are not conducive to speeding or

wreck less driving.

Appreciate the city patching up the potholes on Village Drive this

week.

Asphalt sorely needs to be replaced. The snow plows annually tear

up any repairs due to the necessary maneuvering in the cul de sac to

remove snow. Road seems to be getting narrower due to overgrowth

from the sides. It's very limited traveled road, so not a big deal. Our

driveway apron is crumbling asphalt, so would like further information

on how much concrete apron we can expect and how much we might

need to prepare prior to reconstruction.

Before a sidewalk plan is finalized, I expect that homeowners whose

properties are affected by this will be contacted and have an

opportunity for input. With our house on the corner of Fleetwood Drive

and Lanham Lane, we are concerned about the long length of

sidewalk that may be installed on our property and the long term

impact of that (upkeep, snow removal, liability, etc.)

End of street--asphault in severe disrepair. Snow pushed into our

property and tears up grass/landscaping. We are having extensive

landscaping done and would like to not have snow pushed into our

yard

Concrete roadways are brutal on our cars' suspensions.

Given Fleetwood is a thru street, there is considerably more traffic

than one might think which causes the street to get tight/dangerous

during busy times. Delivery trucks/workers/contractors parking on

side while busy thru traffic is coming makes it wide enough for only

one car right now Please consider other utility projects - such as US

Internet, Centerpoint, Xcel, etc. - to minimize the yard impacts.

Street conditions are kind of bad in the area between 70th and Dewey

Hill road. I feel like Hilary Lane should have been reengineered when

it was resurfaced. I don't understand how the standing water on the

sidewalk and road hasn't been fixed. There are a lot of kids who walk

down Antrim Road, Dublin and Kerry. When I moved in the neighbors

said they shouldn't walk on the road because it is dangerous and he

was right. The road is narrow and there is a lot of trees which makes

it more dangerous.

As our neighborhood expressed several years ago to City Council, we

still feel that our small section of this project could be adequately

addressed via a mill and overlay approach, rather than a full

reconstruction.

We do not need sidewalks here. This is a residential street and it

would be a giant waste of money. There is not enough traffic to

warrant this spending. Anything I can do to prevent this from

happening I will do.

Please do not narrow the street ( Antrim to Shannon) or put curbs in

on either side from Antrim off 70th street to Shannon. It’s windy and

even when you take the curve wide, it gets close to coming in contact

with another car. If the street is narrowed in any way or curbs are put

in there won’t be any space for cars to pass by. In the winter, the

snow will make it even harder. Parking for maintenance vehicles, and

guests will further the hinderance and will make it all but impossible to

get two cars through. Please do not narrow Antrim road to Shannon

road. It won’t work.

Speed limit too slow. Village Drive is a disaster. Needs repair.

Traffic volume--both vehicle and pedestrian--is minimal on our dead-

end street. We currently don't have sidewalks, and we don't need

them, as people can walk safely without them.

Please don't add sidewalks to Kemrich Drive as they aren't necessary

given the low traffic volume. It will also damage the curb appeal of

many homes.

I know that there is a plan to put a sidewalk on Fleetwood Drive. From

my perspective, I don't feel unsafe walking on the street (and see

people walking all of the time). I do have safety concerns regarding

kids biking on our streets, however. I'm worried that if we had a

sidewalk (and my understanding is that bikers, maybe with the

exception of very young kids, are not supposed to bike on sidewalks),

that the narrower street will make it even more unsafe for kids to bike

on the street.

Kemrich Drive is very quiet street, walking and biking is very safe. I

walk multiple times a day throughout Kemrich, Lanham, and

Fleetwood. Many people walk in groups and with strollers along side

their children on bikes, it is very safe to do so. Sidewalks are not

needed and would even prohibit the group from staying together.

Don't put in barrier curbing. It forces bikes farther from the edge.

Likewise, narrowing the street also forces bikes and pedestrians

closer to the traffic, contrary to the talk about being bike friendly.

Drive through Braemar on Hillary and see the flooding only where

there is curbing.

Parklawn Court Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-467

October 17, 2025

SUMMARY:

INITIATION:

The project involves reconstruction of local concrete streets, replacement of existing

concrete curb and gutter, construction of new sidewalk, lining of sanitary sewer,

localized rehabilitation of the sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer systems in

the neighborhood.

The estimated total project cost is $X_________. 47.40% of the roadway cost will

be funded through property taxes and 52.60% will be funded through special

assessments at a rate of approximately $X_________ per residential equivalent unit

(REU). Utility improvements amount to $X_________ and will be funded through

the City’s utility funds. Sidewalk improvements are estimated to cost $X_________

and will be funded through the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety (PACS) Fund.

The project was initiated by the Engineering Department as part of the City’s

Neighborhood Reconstruction Program, identified in the Capital Improvement Plan.

The project complies with the City’s Living Streets Policy, Vision Edina’s mission

statement to “provide effective and valued public services” and “maintain a sound

public infrastructure” and the “Strong Foundations” City budget goal. This project

addresses updating substandard infrastructure with improvements associated with the

roadway condition, watermain system, storm sewer system, sanitary sewer system

and pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

LOCATION:

The project includes Parklawn Court. A detailed location map of the project is

shown in Figure 1.

EXISTING

CONDITIONS:

Roadways

Parklawn Court was originally constructed in 1966. Various concrete panels have

been replaced over the years, but no maintenance has been performed over the entire

street (see Photo 1).

Photo 1: Parklawn Court Neighborhood, 1967

Parklawn Court, as a concrete street, has integral curb. The roadway width is 36’

(measured from the face of curb to the face of curb). A recent geotechnical evaluation

of the project area performed by Braun Intertec showed the roadway section varies

from 8” of concrete pavement over an apparent aggregate base followed by a

combination of silty sand and sand with silt soils.

As part of the City’s Pavement Management Program, all streets are regularly

evaluated and rated on a scale from 1 to 100; 100 representing a brand-new road

surface and 0 being extremely poor. This rating is referred to as the Pavement

Condition Index (PCI) and is determined based on existing conditions and defects

(alligator cracking, raveling, potholes, etc. for bituminous streets ; popouts,

longitudinal and transverse cracking, potholes, etc. for concrete streets). The average

3

Page 163 of 275

Engineering Study

October 17, 2025

PCI for the City of Edina is 78 and the average PCI for Parklawn Court is 51. An

example of the current pavement condition can be seen in Photo 2.

Photo 2: Existing Pavement Condition

Traffic and Crash Data

Given the location and context of this project, staff did not measure traffic

volumes or speeds. It is assumed that the volume and speed are comparable to most

local streets in the City (≤ 1,000 vehicles per day, 85th-percentile speeds ≤

30 miles per hour, respectively). Crash data for this project is shown in Appendix A.

Multi-Modal Transportation

Pedestrian Facilities

There are no pedestrian facilities within the project area. There are sidewalks on

Parklawn Avenue and W 76th Street immediately adjacent to the project area (see

Appendix B).

Bicycle Facilities

There are no bicycle facilities within the project area. The project area is less than ¼

mile (or a 1-minute bike ride) from the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail (see Appendix

C).

Transit Facilities

Metro Transit’s Local Route 6 serves this neighborhood, with bus stops along

Parklawn Avenue and W 76th Street. Local Routes 537 and 540 also operate within a

½ mile of the project area. Most of the bus stops adjacent to the project area are

4

City Council

2018 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan

This plan, part of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan, was developed to guide the City’s

efforts to create a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle network. As shown in

Appendices B and C, there are no proposed pedestrian and bicycle facilities within

the project area.

2015 Living Streets Policy

This policy balances the needs of motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders

in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community identity, create

economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability and provide meaningful

opportunities for active living and better health. The City will apply the Policy to all

street projects, including those involving operations, maintenance, new construction,

reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or change in the allocation of

pavement space on an existing roadway. The Living Streets Plan includes 15 principles

to guide implementation of the Policy, divided into four categories: All Users and All

Modes, Connectivity, Context Sensitivity and Sustainability. Below is a summary of

how these principles are incorporated into this project:

All Users and All Modes – This project will improve mobility and access to the

transportation network for a variety of users, including pedestrians, cyclists, children,

seniors and people with disabilities. Replacement of the pavement surfaces and traffic

control signage will enhance safety and convenience for all users.

Connectivity – This project involves maintaining a transportation system that can

accommodate all modes of travel.

5

Page 165 of 275

Engineering Study

Parklawn Court Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-467

October 17, 2025

Context Sensitivity – Engineering strives to preserve and protect natural features

within or adjacent to construction sites where feasible, including trees, waterways

and sensitive slopes. Residents within the project area were invited to complete a

questionnaire soliciting input on project design components, including multi-modal

transportation, street lighting and local drainage problems.

Sustainability – Engineering works closely with Public Works to implement

infrastructure improvements with consideration of lifecycle costs and future

maintenance. The new roadway section can be easily maintained long-term with the

use of proactive rehabilitation treatments, which will significantly extend the life of

the pavement. Reductions in impervious surfaces benefit water quality and may lessen

the demand for chemicals to manage snow and ice (such as chloride). Construction

operations are required to use the smallest footprint necessary to complete the work;

this includes utilizing trenchless technologies, such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place

sanitary sewer system, minimizing regional wastewater treatment, reducing the risk

of sewage surcharges, and limiting the risk of back-ups to residential properties.

Relevant portions of the Living Streets Plan can be found in Appendix F.

2018 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan

SECTION INCOMPLETE

Climate Action Plan

The CAP identified the following strategies that align with this roadway

reconstruction project.

Transportation and Land Use (TL) 1: Decrease community-wide vehicle miles traveled

by 7% by 2030.

Action TL 1-2: Accelerate building on-street and off-street protected bike lanes,

sidewalks, crosswalks, and other walking infrastructure in high-need areas and fill

connectivity gaps as identified in the City's Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan.

TL 2: Double public transit commuter ridership from 3.3% to 6.6% by 2030.

PROPOSED

IMPROVEMENTS:

Residents

Residents were invited to an informational presentation and were able to directly ask

questions to staff in August 2025. Residents were notified of a recorded video version

of the August 2025 informational presentation posted on the Better Together Edina

website, where residents were able to ask questions to staff from the Better Together

Edina website, as well as telephone and email. Materials from the August 2025

informational presentation can be found in Appendix I.

On June 25, 2025, residents were asked to complete a questionnaire, soliciting

feedback on motorized and non-motorized transportation and local drainage

problems within the project area. Unique feedback was requested on potential

support of sidewalks on Parklawn Court. Unfortunately, only one resident completed

the questionnaire. We will re-engage the owners and residents again before the

Public Hearing to attempt to get more responses.

The full questionnaire and one response can be found in Appendix J.

Relevant correspondence from residents regarding the project can be found in

Appendix K.

The proposed improvements acknowledge many of the comments and concerns

raised by residents throughout the information gathering process, while still

maintaining the desired minimum standards of Engineering, Public Works and other

City staff. The proposed improvements also align with the Budget Work Plan values

and goals developed by the City Council and staff.

Roadways

Typical Section

The concrete roadway is proposed to be completely reconstructed to the subgrade.

A minimum of 8” of aggregate base material will be graded and compacted as the base

layer prior to placement of 2.5” of bituminous non-wear and 1.5” of bituminous wear

course.

Unsuitable subgrade materials will be replaced as necessary to provide adequate

support for the new roadbed. The reconstructed sections will meet the requirements

of a minimum 20-year pavement design life based on projected traffic loadings.

Parklawn Court is designated as a Local Street in the Living Streets Plan. Per this

plan’s design guidelines, Local Streets have a typical width of 27’ (measured from the

face of curb to the face of curb) without sidewalks or 24’ with an 8’ shared-use path

or 5’ sidewalk on one side. Parklawn Court is proposed to be 27’ wide to

accommodate the higher frequency of larger vehicles that serve the adjacent multi-

family properties.

Cul-de-Sac

7

Page 167 of 275

Engineering Study

Parklawn Court Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-467

October 17, 2025

The cul-de-sac bulb is proposed to be reduced in size to the City’s standard 70’

diameter. This size will accommodate large emergency vehicles while also reducing

impervious surfaces within the neighborhood.

Parking

Per the Living Streets Plan, on-street parking should be evaluated based on

classification, adjacent land uses, existing demand and costs of construction and

maintenance. Parking is proposed to be restricted within the cul-de-sac bulb, with

one-sided parking provided along the roadway to allow space for proposed sidewalks

on both sides.

The existing and proposed roadway widths, sidewalks and parking recommendations

are also shown in Figure 3, Table 1 and Appendix L.

Roadway Signage

All traffic signage within the project area, including street name blades, will be replaced

to improve visibility and reflectivity (see Appendix E). All new signs will conform to

the standards of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

Multi-Modal Transportation

Staff seeks to balance the recommendations of the City’s guiding documents (Living

Streets Plan, Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan and Climate Action Plan), feedback

from affected residents, available right-of-way and potential tree and infrastructure

impacts. Staff is proposing new sidewalks along both sides of Parklawn Court and

around the cul-de-sac bulb (see Figure 4).

Figure 4: Existing and Proposed Pedestrian Facilities

Although no new facilities are recommended in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master

Plan, the proposed sidewalks are consistent with the character of the neighborhood

as many adjacent local streets have pedestrian facilities on both sides (Parklawn

Avenue, West 76th Street and Gallagher Drive). The proposed sidewalks also

support the Climate Action Plan goal to “accelerate building…sidewalks and other

walking infrastructure in high-need areas.” Compared to Edina overall, this

neighborhood has a higher percentage of population identifying as Black, Indigenous,

or People of Color (BIPOC); a higher percentage of population in poverty; a higher

percentage of population under the age of 18; and a higher percentage of population

9

October 17, 2025

that is foreign-born. The proposed multi-modal facilities will improve access,

mobility and safety for these populations.

The grass boulevards that will separate the new curb and the proposed sidewalks

are proposed to be 5’-wide but may vary depending on construction conflicts.

Separation from vehicle traffic creates a more pedestrian-friendly environment and

is preferred by Public Works for snow storage.

All adjacent pedestrian curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet the current design

standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and portions of the existing

sidewalks will be reconstructed as necessary.

The sidewalks will be maintained by adjacent property owners as they are not

within state or county right-of-way, along Municipal State Aid routes, or included in

the City’s Active Routes to School Plan.

Bicycle Facilities

There are no proposed bicycle facilities in this project area.

Transit Facilities

An accessible boarding area (also referred to as an ADA pad) will be constructed at

the bus stop adjacent to the project area. Staff will coordinate with Metro Transit

on the design and location of the pad.

Public Utilities

Sanitary Sewer

The sanitary sewer main has been televised, and portions will be repaired using a

combination of open cut and cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) methods. These repairs will

address the issues of sags, cracks and groundwater infiltration into the sewer main.

The manhole castings will also be removed and replaced to reduce inflow and

infiltration of stormwater.

Watermain

SECTION INCOMPLETE

Storm Sewer

Because the existing curb and gutter are integral with the concrete pavement, they

will be replaced as part of the roadway pavement reconstruction, providing a

continuous, functional conduit for stormwater. The existing drainage structures will

be removed and replaced due to their poor condition as well as the proposed

roadway width change. Sump drains will be installed where feasible to allow property

owners to connect their sump pump discharges directly into the storm sewer system.

Increasing stormwater storage in Fred Richards Park will be necessary in the future

to help reduce flood risk on Parklawn Court.

Street Lighting

The City owned street lighting system will be removed and replaced by Xcel Energy

due to its poor condition.

10

Page 170 of 275

Engineering Study

Parklawn Court Neighborhood Reconstruction BA-467

October 17, 2025

Staff is preparing an agreement with Xcel Energy for the proposed street lighting

system work. The agreement will detail each agency’s responsibilities regarding

construction, cost allocation, ownership, and future maintenance. Ownership and

maintenance of the street lighting system on Parklawn Court will transition from the

City to Xcel Energy.

Private Utilities

Staff will meet with representatives of several private utility companies in December

2025, to discuss the proposed 2026 reconstruction project and preliminary

improvements. Portions of the private utility networks may receive upgrades prior to

construction; however, this work is not part of the City’s project.

INTRODUCTION

The Living Streets Policy was developed to provide the framework for a Living Streets Plan. The policy

initially stood alone and included sections to guide the creation of the Living Street Plan. This revised

policy is now an integral part of the Living Streets Plan.

The Living Streets Policy ties directly to key community goals outlined in the City’s 2008 Comprehensive

Plan. Those goals include safe walking, bicycling and driving; reduced storm water runoff, reduced energy

consumption, and promoting health. The Living Streets Policy also compliments voluntary City initiatives

such the “do.town” effort related to community health, Tree City USA and the Green Step Cities programs

related to sustainability. In other cases, the Living Streets Policy will assist the City in meeting mandatory

requirements set by other agencies.

The Living Streets Policy is broken up into three

parts: Vision, Principles and Implementation. The

Policy is followed by a description of core services

provided by the City of Edina that are related to or

implemented in part through Living Streets.

Mini Fact

Expect cyclists on the road. Watch for

cyclists on the road. Treat them as you

would any slow-moving vehicle.

POLICY

Living Streets balance the needs of motorists,

bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders in ways that promote safety and convenience, enhance community

identity, create economic vitality, improve environmental sustainability, and provide meaningful

opportunities for active living and better health. The Living Streets Policy defines Edina’s vision for Living

Streets, the principles Living Streets will embody, and the plan that will guide implementation of their

construction.

LIVING STREETS VISION

Edina is a place where ...

• Transportation utilizing all modes is equally safe and accessible;

• Residents and families regularly choose to walk or bike;

•

•

Streets enhance neighborhood character and community identity;

Streets are safe, inviting places that encourage human interaction and physical activity;

• Public policy strives to promote sustainability through balanced infrastructure investments;

• Environmental stewardship and reduced energy consumption are pursued in public and private

sectors alike; and

•

Streets support vibrant commerce and add to the value of adjacent land uses.

8

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Page 184 of 275LIVING STREETS PRINCIPLES

Fifteen principles guide implementation of the Living Streets Policy in the areas of all users and all

modes, connectivity, context sensitivity and sustainability. The City will incorporate these principles when

planning for and designing the local transportation network and when making public and private land use

decisions.

All Users and All Modes

Principle 1: Living Streets are high-quality transportation facilities that meet the needs of

the most vulnerable users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, seniors and

the disabled; and

Principle 2:

Living Streets provide access and mobility for all transportation modes while

enhancing safety and convenience for all users.

Connectivity

Principle 3: The City designs, operates and maintains a transportation system that provides

a highly connected network of streets that accommodate all modes of travel;

Principle 4: The City seeks opportunities to overcome barriers to active transportation by

preserving and repurposing existing rights-of-way and adding new rights-

of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit;

Principle 5: The City prioritizes improvements to non-motorized connections to key

destinations such as public facilities, public transit, the regional transportation

network and commercial areas;

Principle 6: The City will require new developments to provide interconnected street and

Principle 7:

sidewalk networks that connect to existing or planned streets or sidewalks

on the perimeter of the development; and

Projects will include consideration of the logical termini by mode. For

example, the logical termini for a bike lane or sidewalk may extend beyond the

traditional limits of a street construction or reconstruction project, in order to

ensure multimodal connectivity and continuity.

Context Sensitivity

Principle 8:

Principle 9:

Living Streets are developed with input from stakeholders and designed to

consider neighborhood character and promote a strong sense of place;

Living Streets preserve and protect natural features such as waterways, urban

forest, sensitive slopes and soils;

Principle 10: Living Streets are designed and built with coordination between business and

property owners along commercial corridors to develop vibrant commercial

districts;

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

9

Page 185 of 275

Principle 11: Living Streets coordinate with regional transit networks and regional

authorities; and

Principle 12: The City will consider the fiscal context of projects and potential financial

impacts when implementing Living Streets at the project level.

Sustainability

Principle 13: Living Streets will improve the current and future quality of life of the public,

Principle 14: Living Streets will reduce environmental impacts associated with the

construction and operation of roadways; and

Principle 15: The City will increase the life span and resilience of its infrastructure and will

build infrastructure with consideration for lifecycle costs and ease

of maintenance.

LIVING STREETS IMPLEMENTATION

The City of Edina will develop Living Streets in the regular course of business of maintaining, expanding

or redeveloping the road network and will be guided by the Vision and Principles established above.

Implementation will happen predominantly through the neighborhood street reconstruction program, but

also though specific stand-alone stormwater utility, pedestrian, bicycle or safety projects.

Project prioritization is not specifically part of the Living Streets Plan. Prioritization of projects takes

place in the City’s Capital Improvement Program and Budget and is determined by the City Council with

guidance from the Living Streets Vision and Principles.

The City will actively promote and apply the Living Streets Policy and Plan by:

• Applying the Living Streets Policy and Plan to all street projects, including those involving

operations, maintenance, new construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, rehabilitation or

changes in the allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway. This also includes privately

built roads, sidewalks, paths and trails.

• Drawing on all sources of transportation funding and actively pursuing grants, cost-sharing

opportunities and other new or special funding sources as applicable.

• Through all City departments supporting the vision and principles outlined in this Plan in their

work.

• By acting as an advocate for Living Streets principles when a local transportation or land use

decision is under the jurisdiction of another agency.

Projects that implement Living Streets will be guided by pedestrian and cyclist network plans and roadway

classifications and will consider the physical, social, ecologic, regulatory and economic context in a given

project area.

10

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Page 186 of 275

The project delivery system used to build Living Streets will:

•

Systematically engage Edina residents and project stakeholders to better inform project-level

recommendations.

• Keep Edina residents and project stakeholders informed about Living Streets and the range of services

they help provide.

• Follow minimum Living Streets design requirements and standards.

• Manage construction impacts to residents and users of streets.

Network

The creation of a Living Streets network of road, pedestrian and bicycle facilities provides mobility,

accessibility and access to people, places and spaces. The resulting interconnection of neighborhoods links

people to goods and services and to one another, and increases quality of life for those who live in, work

in, or visit the city.

Existing and planned transportation networks are identified in the City of Edina Comprehensive Plan and

other approved/adopted plans. Network plans include:

• Roadway Network (Functional Classification, Jurisdictional Classification)

•

Sidewalk Facilities

• Bicycle Facilities (Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan)

• Active Routes to School Comprehensive Plan

• Transit Service

Network plans are approved by the City Council. In most cases, modification requires an amendment of

the Comprehensive Plan.

The expansion, creation and improvement of pedestrian and bicycle networks will be well planned and

prioritized:

• Expansion of existing networks and providing connections to key traffic generators or destinations

provide immediate benefit to all network users and is a top priority.

• Network connections serving vulnerable users such as children, seniors and the disabled are a top

priority.

• Network connections serving high-volume uses such as schools, retail destinations or regional

public transit are a top priority.

Exceptions

Living Streets principles will be included in all street construction, reconstruction, repaving and

rehabilitation projects, except under one or more of the conditions listed below. City staff will document

proposed exceptions as part of a project proposal.

• A project involves only ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep assets in serviceable

condition, such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concrete joint repair or pothole filling,

or when interim measures are implemented on a temporary detour. Such maintenance activities,

however, shall consider and meet the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians.

12

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Page 188 of 275• The City exempts a project due to an excessively disproportionate cost of establishing a bikeway,

walkway or transit enhancement as part of a project.

• The City determines that the construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because

of significant or adverse environmental impacts to waterways, flood plains, remnants or native

vegetation, wetlands or other critical areas.

• Available budget is constrained or project timing allows more efficient construction at a later date.

Engagement

Members of the public have an interest in understanding and providing input for public projects. Project

recommendations will be developed with a transparent and defined level of public engagement. The

public will have access to the decision-making process and decision makers via public meetings and

other correspondence and will be provided the opportunity to give input throughout the process. Project

reports will discuss how their input helped to influence recommendations and decisions. The City of

Edina’s Living Streets will continue to engage and solicit public input as a vital component of the project

implementation process. See Chapter 5 for a more detailed discussion regarding the purpose of and

opportunities for public engagement.

Design

The guidelines contained in the Living Streets Plan will be used to direct the planning, funding, design,

construction, operation and maintenance of new and modified streets, sidewalks, paths and trails. The

guidelines allow for context-sensitive designs.

The Design Guidelines (see Chapter 6):

• Keep street pavement widths to the minimum necessary.

• Provide well-designed pedestrian accommodation in the form of sidewalks or shared-use

pathways on all arterial, collector and local connector streets. Sidewalks shall also be required

where streets abut a public school, public building, community playfield or neighborhood park.

Termini will be determined by context.

• Provide frequent, convenient and safe street crossings. These may be at intersections designed to

be pedestrian friendly, or at mid-block locations where needed and appropriate.

• Provide bicycle accommodation on all primary bike routes.

• Allocate right-of-way for boulevards.

• Allocate right-of-way for parking only when necessary and not in conflict with Living Streets

principles.

• Consider streets as part of our natural ecosystem and incorporate landscaping, trees, rain gardens

and other features to improve air and water quality.

The Design Guidelines in this Plan will be incorporated into other City plans, manuals, rules, regulations

and programs as appropriate. As new and better practices evolve, the City will update this Living Streets

Plan. Minimum standards will guide how vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle networks interact and share

public right of way.

The ability to measure the performance of a plan, as well as knowing that it is functioning as it is intended,

is vitally important to overall success and the ability to sustain it. With this in mind, the City will monitor

and measure its performance relative to the Living Streets Policy. Benchmarks that will demonstrate

success include:

Every street and neighborhood is a comfortable place for walking and bicycling.

This does not mean that every street in the city will have walking and biking facilities. It means that each

neighborhood will provide a network of these facilities such that walking and biking to and through

neighborhoods is a comfortable experience.

Every child can walk or bike to school or a park safely.

It is essential that alternatives to driving to school or parks be provided to children and their caregivers.

These alternatives – walking or bicycling – will be both safe and convenient modes of transportation. See

the Edina Active Routes to School Plan for more information.

Seniors, children, and disabled people can cross all streets safely and comfortably.

Opportunities to cross all streets in Edina, including local, collectors and arterial streets, will be provided.

These crossings will be safe and comfortable for all users, regardless of age or ability.

An active way of life is available to all.

Opportunities for active living should be made available to all members of the Edina community by

connecting centers of activity via active, multimodal transportation. Each resident of and visitor to Edina

will have the ability to lead an active way of life.

There are zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries.

Perhaps the ultimate safety benchmark is zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries. Modeled from the Vision

Zero Initiative (www.visionzeroinitiative.com), an aspirational yet primary goal of Living Streets is to

achieve this high level of safety on the City’s roadways.

Reduce untreated street water flows into local waterways and reduce storm water volume.

Cost-effective stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are strategically selected to go above and

beyond regulatory requirements to provide for flood protection and clean water services through the use of

infrastructure that retains, settles, filters, infiltrates, diverts or reduces the volume of stormwater that flows

to local surface waters.

Retail streets stay or become popular regional destinations.

Part of Edina’s Living Streets vision is that “streets support vibrant commerce.” While most of the city’s

streets are residential, Edina’s business districts are a vital part of the community. The benefits of Living

Streets extend to retail streets as well, making them more attractive to businesses and consumers alike.

14

Living Streets Plan – 2. Living Streets Policy

Page 190 of 275The City will draw on the following data to measure performance:

• Number of crashes or transportation-related injuries reported to the Police Department.

• Number and type of traffic safety complaints or requests.

• Resident responses to transportation related questions in resident surveys.

• Resident responses to post-project surveys.

• The number of trips by walking, bicycling and transit (if applicable) as measured before and after

the project.

• Envision ratings from the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure.

• Additional performance measures may be identified as this Policy is implemented.

Mini Fact

Motorists must stop behind all

crosswalks.

Section D: Other traffic safety items

D1. Two requests for stop controls at 3-way intersections; Chowen Ave and Chowen Curve along with

Paiute Pass and Sally Ln. These intersections are uncontrolled with adequate visibility for stopping

distances, low volumes and no crash history. Stop controls do not meet warrants.

D2. A homeowner on Lake Ridge Rd and Blake Rd is requesting a guardrail to be installed adjacent to

their property as it’s along a curve. The homeowner reported a vehicle ran off road this past into their

property. This portion of Blake was reconstructed in 2023 and a guardrail did not meet state design

requirements, no action recommended by staff.

D3. A resident on the 5600 block of Bernard Pl requested staff remove a road closed sign following no

work taking place for weeks. The private contractor managing the project was notified and the sign was

removed.

D4. A reported crash involving a 12 year-old at W 58th and Xerxes. Residents request the 2-way stop

be switched to an all-way stop. Hennepin County reviewed this intersection and is recommending no

changes due to crash history and vehicle volumes.

D5. A complaint of visibility at the southwest corner of York Ave and W 66th St. Staff contacted the

maintenance group in charge of this area and the issue was resolved.

City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424

Page 264 of 275

D6. Many complaints received during new closures around the Vernon Ave bridge project. Staff from

many departments are requesting commuters use extra caution and be patient until the completion of

the project.

D7. A submission was received for a dead animal along the 5300 block of Halifax Ave. Proper staff was

notified of the submission.

D8. A request for a permanent speed display sign for traffic on Dewey Hill Rd. Staff will review Dewey

Hill once a policy for a speed display sign is adopted.

D9. A resident who lives adjacent to Woodland Rd West and Concord Ave S requested all-way stop

controls at the intersection. Stop controls are only warranted for westbound vehicles and no other

warrants along Concord Ave are met. The proximity to Concord and Southview Ln could cause

additional congestion and lack of stopping properly.

D10. A complaint was made of a traffic signal not operating properly at W 77th St and Normandale Rd,

east of HWY 100. MnDOT fixed the issue.

D11. A complaint of a pedestrian cross button not working at W 65th St and France Ave. Hennepin

County staff was notified and fixed the issue.

D12. A resident was hit in a crosswalk in the southwest corner of W 51st St at France Ave and is

requesting crossing safety improvements. Hennepin County is working with City staff with an upcoming

project along France Ave. Safety improvements are planned.

D13. A request for temporary all-way stop controls at W 44th St and Brookside Ave during the final

closure of ramps during the Vernon Ave bridge closure. Staff is monitoring possible detours to see if

changes are needed. The intersection will remain one-way stop controlled for the time being.

D14. A request for a traffic mirror at a residential driveway along Valley View Rd, west of Gleason.

Edina does not utilize mirrors for sight lines. The resident was encouraged to trim vegetation to

improve visibility.

D15. A bicyclist requested improved bike lanes on Wooddale Ave between Valley View Rd and W 50th

St. Staff will consider improvements with an anticipated 2026 overlay project.

D16. Many complaints received regarding tenants at the new Eddi residence parking on Computer Ave.

Property management was notified of City parking policies and parking restrictions were reinstalled on

the west side of Computer following the development project.

Report: Recommendation to Amend City Code Sec. 26-282

Page 268 of 275

City of Edina – Transportation Commission

To: Edina City Council

From: Edina Transportation Commission

Date: October 6, 2025

Subject: Recommendation to Amend Edina City Code Sec. 26-282 to Support Safe, Responsible

E-Bike Use

Work Plan Reference: ETC 2025 Work Plan Item 5

Executive Summary

The Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) recommends revising Edina City Code Sec. 26-282 to

remove the prohibition against operating electric-assisted bicycles (e-bikes) on sidewalks. The current

restriction unintentionally creates safety risks by forcing riders onto streets without protected facilities

and is inconsistent with the approach taken by neighboring cities. The ETC further recommends

reinforcing and publicizing existing safety standards for sidewalk riding already codified in Sec. 26-283,

ensuring that pedestrians maintain the right-of-way and that riders operate responsibly and at low

speed.

Background

At its May 6, 2025 meeting, City Council approved by consent an amendment to Edina City Code Sec.

26-282 adding the following sentence: 'No person may operate an electric-assisted bicycle, as defined

in this Chapter, on a sidewalk.' This language applies broadly to all classes of e-bikes and all locations

within the city, regardless of rider behavior, surrounding land use, or the availability of safe bike

infrastructure.

Situation Summary

The ETC believes this prohibition unintentionally increases safety risks for both cyclists and drivers by

forcing riders—particularly youth, seniors, and less experienced e-bike users—onto busy streets that

lack protected or connected bike lanes.

Edina’s current biking network is incomplete and lacks continuous protected routes connecting key

destinations. Until substantial improvements are made, sidewalks remain the only safe refuge for slower

or cautious riders in many parts of the city. Restricting sidewalk access also discourages e-bike adoption

—a key strategy supporting Edina’s Climate Action Plan and Vision Edina goals for sustainable, low-

carbon mobility. Neighboring communities including Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and Minneapolis permit e-

bikes on sidewalks with safety limitations, offering regional consistency for riders who travel across

municipal boundaries.

It is also important to note that concerns about pedestrian safety from bikes or e-bikes on sidewalks are

not supported by data. According to state records, the last known fatal incident involving a pedestrian

struck by a bicyclist in Minnesota occurred in 1972—more than 50 years ago. In contrast, 41 people

have been killed by cars while biking in Minnesota in the most recent five-year period where data is

readily available (2018–2022). This data underscores that the far greater public safety risk comes from

vehicle interactions, not from bicycles or e-bikes sharing space with pedestrians at low speeds.

Recommendations

1 Amend Edina City Code Sec. 26-282 to delete the sentence: 'No person may operate an

electric-assisted bicycle, as defined in this Chapter, on a sidewalk.'

2 Reaffirm and promote the safety provisions already contained in Sec. 26-283 governing bicycle

Page 269 of 275operation on sidewalks, emphasizing pedestrian right-of-way, reasonable speed (not exceeding 10

mph), slowing to walking pace near pedestrians, driveways, and intersections, and avoiding

sidewalks adjacent to building entrances or where posted restrictions apply.

Electric-assisted bike riders can be held by law enforcement to the same safety standards as

conventional bike riders, including the caveat that pedestrians on sidewalks have the right of way.

3 Direct staff to update public materials (website, signage, and education programs) to clearly

communicate these safety requirements and expectations for responsible e-bike use.

4 Consider implementing a one-year pilot period allowing e-bike use on sidewalks citywide, with a

follow-up safety and compliance evaluation presented to City Council in 2026.

Conclusion

Allowing responsible e-bike use on sidewalks—within clear, enforceable safety limits—will enhance

safety for both cyclists and motorists, support Edina’s climate and mobility goals, and align Edina’s

policies with those of neighboring communities for a consistent regional approach. The ETC

respectfully requests City Council’s consideration and approval of this recommendation.
