SUMMIT PASS TRAFFIC CONCERNS III. OTHER BUSINESS IV. ADJOURNMENT PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE MEETING TUESDAY, JULY 20, 2004 4:45 — 5:45 pm Summit Pass Traffic Issues Background Tim Ostrem, 4622 Summit Pass, contacted Tom Struve, Street Superintendent, by telephone on May 10, 2004, to share his concerns about the safety of residents along Summit Pass as related to the street traffic. Mr. Ostrem faxed City staff a letter dated May 20, 2004, requesting that some form of traffic calming be applied to Summit Pass, between the two adjacent intersections with Stonecliffe Drive, specifically, near the paved walkway. (See attached map) The City's Engineering Division conducted a traffic analysis of Summit Pass from May 25th thru May 27th. The data gathered included traffic volume counts and vehicle speed information. This data was analyzed with standards from the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD), the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the Met Council. The following information was collected. Summit Pass Traffic Volume (5/25-5/27/041 • Average of 329 vehicles per day • Typical residential street traffic is 1,000-1,500 vehicles per day (ITE & Met Council) • Stonecliffe Drive south of Cliff Road exceeded 1,700 vehicles per day (2002) • Half of the 329 vehicles per day generated from the Summit Pass homes (9.57 trips/house) Summit Pass Traffic Speeds ( 5/25-5/27/04) • Average of 329 vehicles per day • Speed limit is 30 mph • Speed limits for public streets regulated by the State's Commissioner of Transportation • The 85th percentile speed was about 28.6 mph, appropriate for the 30 mph speed limit • 85 percent of drivers drive at the 85th percentile speed or below • 1 out of 329 vehicles may have traveled a maximum speed of 45-50 mph (false readings?) Many of Mr. Ostrem's concerns included the existing trail. Reference was made to the MnMUTCD and the City of Eagan's Pedestrian Crosswalk Policy for the consideration of the placement of related signage and pavement markings. Both documents indicate that the placement of signage or markings would not meet the established engineering criteria for the junction of the trail and Summit Pass. Crosswalks are to be limited to use in locations such as the following examples. The trail at Summit Pass does not meet any of these criteria. • Street designated as Collector or Minor Arterial • Community recreational trail crosses street • At a signalized street intersection • Approved comprehensive school pedestrian route crosses street Russ Matthys, City Engineer, sent Mr. Ostrem a letter dated June 10, 2004, sharing the above information with him and informing him that the traffic engineering data did not suggest corrective street improvements are warranted on Summit Pass for traffic safety purposes. Mr. Matthys suggested some options that other residents within the City have successfully used to address similar traffic safety concerns and offered further assistance from the Police Department. On June 15, 2004, Mr. Ostrem and some of his neighbors attended the City Council's Listening Session prior to the regular Council meeting. He reiterated his concerns to the Council and shared the attached information. The City Council directed further consideration of the Summit Pass traffic concerns to the Public Works Committee. As part of the information submitted by Mr. Ostrem at the June 15 Listening Session, he commented on the use of the trail by Summit Pass children to get to their school bus. Based on information provided by ISD 196, it appears that two Summit Pass families have children that may use the school bus that stops in the Beacon Hill development near the west end of the trail. Please see the attached map. The submitted information also addressed concerns with the road visibility. The minimum stopping sight distance, the distance required for a driver to see an object/pedestrian, react and bring the vehicle to a complete stop, desired for a street with a 30 mph speed limit is 200 feet. Summit Pass has sight visibility distances in excess of this minimum in both directions along its entire length. On July 7, 2004, Mr. Ostrem submitted a petition from his neighborhood requesting the installation of two or more speed humps on Summit Pass. The location of one speed hump was requested on the south end of the street and another one on the street at the end of the trail. The petition also included a crosswalk at the trail's end. He included information listing advantages and disadvantages of various traffic calming methods. The following are responses to his statements submitted with the petition. Speed Humps Local Use The City of Minneapolis, according to the Public Works Traffic Engineer, Jim Stoffel, has used speed bumps since the early 1990s. He stated the following for the installation of a speed bump. • Installation process starts with a request • Not installed on arterial or collector streets • Street must have less than 5% slope • A minimum street width is required • Installed in pairs only • Preliminary Approval requires requesting party (neighborhood) provides proof of funding • Installation is paid by the neighborhood ($4,500 per pair) • If proof of funding is received, department will then do traffic study, collect data, etc. • City has not completed traffic studies after installation • Neighbors either love them or hate them - there is not any middle ground The City of St. Paul has written policies for speed humps, but does not have a funding source, according to Bill Hagland. He mentioned only a few locations that he was aware of where speed humps were located. There is one by a church at Snelling and University which was funded by the church itself. The City does not have any data about it. There are some speed humps on a couple of older streets, but they've basically worn away and currently there are not plans to replace them. St. Paul's policy for speed humps on public streets states the following. • Speed humps can be installed and removed by a petition process • Traffic Division will determine. if speed humps are appropriate as requested • Traffic Division will determine the number and locations of the speed humps • Only residential streets functionally described as local will be considered • The 85`h percentile speed of traffic must be greater than 10 mph beyond the speed limit • Enforcement efforts must be ineffective in reducing speeds before installation • Installation must include warning signs, pavement markings and other safety devices • Installation of speed humps will be contingent on public funding availability • Not considered on routes often traveled by emergency vehicles or school buses • Stop signs and traffic signals should not be within 300 feet of the proposed locations • Not placed on street with adverse safety characteristics, i.e. steep grades, severe curves Snow Removal Snow removal is an issue of concern regarding the placement of a speed hump. Besides the jarring affect the hump can have on the snow removal equipment and driver, the potential for less than desirable removal efficiencies can lead to snow packed or icy road conditions. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of the traffic calming can conflict with the safety of the street in winter conditions. The use of the gutter is critical to the proper drainage of the street. By constructing the speed hump through the gutter, areas previously free of drainage problems can become ponding areas. Construction through the gutter also brings the street surface within a couple inches of the top of the curb, an invitation for opponents of the speed hump to use the boulevard for their driving surface. While the narrowing of the hump to keep it out of the gutter can address most of the drainage concerns, it also allows travelers to "sneak" beside the hump for a reduced impact. Traffic Speed and Volume Reductions In reviewing the references submitted by Mr. Ostrem, it appears that he reviewed a number of worthwhile ITE articles on traffic calming, most with information on speed humps. To support his request, he highlighted the statements most supportive of the petition. While staff can easily list statements from the same references that would weaken the viability of the petition, the summary of the points are generally valid. Having reviewed the ITE articles, City staff found information similar to much of the traffic calming information previously known to staff. As evident in the Minneapolis and St. Paul policy examples, there are a number of critical items to review for the consideration of the placement of traffic calming devices at any location. The overall effectiveness of the speed humps is largely subjective. In some of the referenced evaluations speeds were recognizably reduced while volumes were not, or even increased. Both speed and volume have been expressed concerns of Mr. Ostrem. One of the referenced reports even acknowledged the traffic studies were taken during the "off-season" with considerably lower traffic counts than what would be experienced during the "peak" season. The location of the testing apparatus can also have a significant effect on the results, a point of concern made by Mr. Ostrem about the City's testing efforts. In summary, while there was not a standardized method of evaluation used for the referenced traffic studies, or others, speed humps appear to usually reduce the vehicle speeds at the location of the speed humps. The evidence is not as strong to support the reduction in traffic volume, but it appears that reductions do occur at some locations. Sign, Chokers and Rumble Areas City staff agrees with the referenced statements Mr. Ostrem included in his submittal regarding the usage of stop signs and other traffic control signage, even though his personal statements seem to contradict the ITE statements. Since a request for stop signs, chokers or rumble areas is not included on the petition, staff will not provide further comments. Sidewalks Although Mr. Ostrem states that sidewalks would not address his concerns, sidewalks may provide an additional area for pedestrians within the neighborhood and may warrant further consideration. Issue Mr. Ostrem is not satisfied with City staff s response to his request and has asked that the City Council address his request for traffic calming on Summit Pass. The City Council has directed the matter to be addressed by the Public Works Committee. Options 1. Provide a recommendation to direct the City Engineer to prepare a feasibility report to consider traffic calming on Summit Pass for full Council ratification at a future City Council meeting, OR 2. Deny the request.

Room CYNDEE FIELDS MIKE MAGUIRE Dear Resident, MEG TILLEY As you may be aware, your neighbor Tim Ostrem has been communicating with the City Council Members staff recently regarding traffic concerns along Summit Pass. Most recently, he and several other neighbors attended an open listening session with the City Council on June 15 to THOMAS HEDGES further discuss these concerns. Due to the limited time available, the City Council directed this matter to the Public Works Committee for further review. This committee is City Administrator comprised of Council Members Cyndee Fields and Mike Maguire. After trying to accommodate various vacation schedules and meeting conflicts, a P.W. Cmte Mtg has been scheduled for. Tuesday, July 20 at 4:45 pm in the 1 st floor Municipal center: Engineering conference room at City Hall. Just as the Council selected 2 Council 3830 Pilot Knob Road Members to represent them in further review of these concerns, they have requested that Eagan, MN 55122-1897 the neighborhood also designate 2-3 individuals to represent the neighborhood's interests Phone: 651.675.5000 at this meeting. Fax: 651.675.5012 On July 2, Mr. Ostrem requested that I notify all those on the attached list of this TDD: 651.454.8535 scheduled meeting and provide you all with a copy of the Cmte packet information as he wasn't able to determine at that time who would be available to attend as a neighborhood representative.

In that conversation we discussed the concerns of residences on Summit Pass street to the dangerous street design of Summit Pass. The intent of this letter is to outline the characteristics of the street that make it a dangerously designed street and to request traffic calming measures for Summit Pass. Summit Pass is a short residential street that connects to the Stonecliffe developments main road in two places. Summit Pass is currently being used by traffic as a fast short cut to bypass the main road. Much of the traffic on Summit Pass in both directions, turns onto Summit Pass from the Stonecliffe main road, drives very fast along the length of Summit Pass and then merges back onto the main road. Summit Pass was not intended to be a main road but its shortness and connections to the main road significantly increase through traffic on Summit Pass. Summit Pass is curved and comes up a steep hill from the south. Cars coming from the south accelerate very quickly to get up the steep hill and reach a fast speed towards the top of the hill. The cars then continue at this fast speed down the curved remainder of the street before merging back onto the main road. Cars from the north accelerate quickly along the curved street and then are encouraged by the steepness of the street to pickup more speed going down the hill. A paved walkway is located in the middle of Summit Pass, near the top of the hill. The walkway connects Summit Pass to an adjacent neighborhood. A Thomas Lake Elementary School bus stop is Iodated on this walkway in the adjacent neighborhood. Summit Pass children frequent the paved walkway going to and coming from their bus stop as well as throughout the day. The walkway is a favorite destination of children who ride their bikes and scooters up and down the sloped walkway. There are currently 20 young children living on Summit Pass including 8 children of 5 years or less. Visibility on Summit Pass is poor. The steepness of the hill causes cars accelerating from the south to have an obstructed view of people, especially children on the walkway. Cars coming from the north are unable to see over the crest of the hill where they pickup additional speed going down the hill. The design of Summit Pass which is short and connects to the main road in two places, significantly increases through traffic on Summit Pass. This through traffic is treating Summit Pass as a fast shortcut to the main road which encourages them to drive fast along its length The steepness and curves of the street's design obstruct visibility and also promote increased traffic speeds. These design flaws characterize the dangerous design of Summit Pass and put in danger pedestrians especially children, using the paved walkway, walking along the side of Summit Pass or just crossing the street.

In your letter you requested that some form of traffic calming be applied to Summit Pass, between the two adjacent intersections with THOMAS HEDGES Stonecliffe Drive, specifically, near the paved walkway. City Administrator In order to obtain a better understanding of your situation, the City of Eagan's Engineering Division conducted an analysis of Summit Pass from May 25`h thru May 27th. The data gathered included traffic volume counts and a speed study. This data was then applied to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MnMUTCD) to determine if corrective traffic Municipal Center: improvements were warranted. 3830 Pilot Knob Road Traffic Volume Eagan, MN 55122-1897 The speed and volume counts were conducted during a 48-hour period on average weekdays Phone: 651.675.5000 (May 25-27) while the local public schools were in session. Summit Pass experienced an average of 329 vehicles per day during this sample period. The Institute of Transportation Engineers Fax: 651.675.5012 (ITE) and Metropolitan Council state that 1,000 to 1,500 vehicles per day are within the normal TDD: 651.454.8535 range of traffic for a typical residential neighborhood street. By comparison, the 2002 daily traffic counts for Stonecliffe Drive south of Cliff Road exceeded 1,700 vehicles per day. Maintenance Facility: The ITE Trip Generation Manual indicates single-family homes generate approximately 9.57 trips per day. About half of the average of 329 vehicles per day can be expected to be generated from 3501 Coachman Point the homes on Summit Pass alone. Eagan, MN 55122 Phone: 651.675.5300 Traffic S eeds Speed limits for public streets within the State of Minnesota are regulated under the authority of Fax: 651.675.5360 the Commissioner of Transportation. Due to its residential nature the currently approved speed TDD: 651.454.8535 limit for Summit Pass is 30 mph, the minimum standard speed limit. Included in the engineering analysis was the speed of every vehicle for the 48 hour -period. This data was transformed into percentiles. According to the MnMUTCD, the 85a' percentile speed is the significant value when www.cityofeagan.com determining traffic control devices (85 percent of drivers drive at this speed or below). The 85h percentile for Summit Pass was about 28.6 mph, appropriate for the designated speed limit. While opposing vehicles tripping the counters at approximately the same time can create false high readings, it appears that one vehicle each day of the study was traveling a maximum speed between 45 and 50 mph. Although undesirable, this is a very small percentage of the vehicles THE LONE OAK TREE traveling on Summit Pass and can be found on most any similar street in any community.

Introduction In preparation for the Public Works Committee meeting, the residents of Summit Pass met together to discuss which traffic calming method would be most effective to help alleviate the dangerous design of Summit Pass. As a result of this meeting, the residents of Summit Pass are petitioning the City of Eagan for two or more permanent speed humps and a crosswalk to be installed on Summit Pass (see attached petition). 100% of the households living on Summit Pass signed this petition indicating they are in agreement with the need for permanent speed humps and a crosswalk. 2. Speed Hump Description The speed humps requested in the petition are wide raised areas extending across the entire street with a crest height that reduces travel speed to 15 to 20 mph. The width and shape of the humps would allow for snow removal. 3. Data Summary Below are advantage/disadvantage bullet point lists of some of the traffic calming methods discussed by Summit Pass residents during the writing of their petition. 3.1 Speed Humps Installing speed humps on Summit Pass would be the most effective method of long term traffic speed and volume reduction. Additionally speed humps are used in snowy climates and may be designed to accommodate show removal. 3.1.1 Snow Removal Speed humps are currently in use in Minneapolis (for example on Morgan Ave South near intersection with 52"d Street West) ' "A 12 -foot hump with a sinusoidal rather than a parabolic rise is being tested in Toronto. The sinusoidal design, long used in continental Europe, promises a more comfortable ride and easier snow removal" [TR 3 WH] pg 5 3.1.2 Traffic Speed and Volume Reduction • Based on 262 studies, speed humps "produce the greatest speed reduction" with an average speed reduction of 7.5 MPH and have a high public satisfaction rating (79%). [PRF _SUR] pg 3 • "Studies in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States have shown reductions in 85th percentile speeds ranging form 3 MPH to 14 MPH between speed humps and from 6 MPH to 27 MPH at the speed hump location." [SPD—CTRL] pg 21 • The site studies indicate that the "85th percentile speed is reduced significantly at the 95 percent level of confidence and that the speed reduction is a result of the speed humps." [TR _EVL] pg 4 • "The results of the study indicate that the installation of speed hump as a traffic calming measure proved to be effective". [TR EVL] pg 1 Eagan Public Works Committee Meeting On Summit Pass Traffic /, July 2°d 2004 • "The speed at midpoints between the humps and the overall speed reduction was due to the installation of speed humps." [TR EVL] pg 5 • "Tests in the United Statues and in various countries around the world, have shown speed humps to be effective in controlling vehicle speeds and in reducing traffic volumes". [SPD _CTRL] pg 21 • "The objective of reducing speeds and cut through traffic may be achieved by using a combination of a speed hump and street narrowing." [SPD—CTRL] pg 30 • The combination of a choker with a flat-topped speed hump can be used to "slow traffic down to `walking speeds"' [TR 3 WH] pg 6 3.2 Signs Signs alone would not be an effective method of traffic calming on Summit Pass. However stop signs at the crosswalk and in conjunction with speed humps, would reduce the mentality that Summit Pass is a fast short cut to bypass the main Stonecliffe road. • "The application of traffic control devices, such as signs, alone are not effective in reducing vehicle speeds through residential neighborhoods." [SPD _CTRL] pg 12 • "Studies have shown that stop signs are largely ineffective in meeting the residents' request for speed control." [SPD _CTRL] pg 12 • "However, when the local streets offer only a slight savings in travel time over other routes, the time lost at stop signs may be enough to keep traffic off of local residential streets." [SPD—CTRL] pg 13 3.3 Chokers Chokers by themselves on Summit Pass would not provide effective traffic calming. • "The locations where the lanes were narrowed did not prove to be effective in reducing the speed of drivers." [TR _EVL] pg 5 • "For speed control, there must be an abrupt change in either horizontal or vertical alignment. Even a dramatic narrowing may not bring speeds down appreciable unless combined with other measures." [TR 3 WH] pg 6 3.4 Rumble Areas Rumble areas would not be effective at slowing down traffic on Summit Pass and their noise level would not be appropriate for a residential road. Rumble strips "do not impact on speeds in themselves, rather as pre -cursors to a possible speed restricting device". [TTC] pg B97 "Generally rumble strips across the travel lanes are not used in residential settings due to the associated noise. In one instance (Leichardt, NSW) they had to be removed as a result of resident objections". [TTC] pg B96 3.5 Sidewalks Sidewalks do not address the problems of excessive through traffic volume, high traffic speeds, obstructed visibility of Summit Pass and children crossing the street.
