Public Works Director SUBJECT: 2. Discuss State Aid Designations DATE: February 5, 2009 INTRODUCTION The Public Works Committee is requested to consider Municipal State Aid Street (MSAS) designations for 2009 and beyond. 0 DISCUSSION As new local City streets are constructed, 20% of the total new mileage can be designated as Municipal State Aid Streets. Currently the improved mileage total as of December 31, 2008 is 206.55 miles. This mileage includes currently designated MSAS's, County Road Turnbacks, County Roads (CR) and local City streets. Currently we have 42.36 miles of roadway designated as MSAS and designated County Road turnbacks. As mentioned to past Public Works Committee Members, MnDOT is pushing to turn back some trunk highways to the counties in Minnesota. Anoka County has in turn expressed interest both formally and informally to staff to turn back several CR's to the City in the not to distant future. This will ultimately increase the lane mileage of roadways owned and maintained by the City, which requires additional funds for upkeep and maintenance. Last year the City designated and revoked a number of Municipal State Aid Streets. As the City keeps growing and adding additional mileage, it is crucial to identify areas for potential MSAS designations. As our existing MSAS system continues growing, it becomes more difficult to identify segments for MSAS designation that both make sense and also meet the requirements of the State for a MSAS designation. Based upon our current MSAS system and the 20% limitation, there is 0.71 miles available for designation at this time. Proposed designations need to be communicated to MnDOT by March 1, 2009. Upon approval of the designations from MnDOT, formal resolutions from the Council need to be 0 submitted by May 1, 2009. The following segments identified in the table are potential routes that should be considered for designation. At the meeting, staff will discuss the segments and provide justification for this location. Staff feels the highest recommended segment listed is the most viable and will most easily be approved by MnDOT State Aid staff. 0 Rank Route To/From MileaQe 1* Xeon St. Andover Blvd. to Crosstown Blvd. 1.25 2 Ventre St./168th Ln. 165th Ave. to tn Ave. 0.65 3 178th Ln.

Update of 3-Way Stop Signs DATE: February 5, 2009 INTRODUCTION This item is an update as to the status of analyzing the unwarranted 3 way or 4 way stop signs locations. 0 DISCUSSION As you know, the Public Works Sign Department is currently doing traffic signing in Zone 1, 2 & 4 of the City to ensure the signs are the proper type and are in the proper location and that signs meet reflectivity standards as required under the accordance of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control (MMUTCD). Within both of these zones there are a few 3 way or 4 way stop sign locations that do exist. Most if not all locations have been analyzed during the past year by doing traffic counts and gathering information from the Anoka County Sheriff's Department as far as the number of accidents at each of the intersections to determine if the signing should be modified to meet the MMUTCD. As a reminder, there are a number of locations throughout the City where the City Council authorized installation of stop signs over the years that do not or may not meet stop sign guidelines. Attached is a page from the MMUTCD in regards to stop sign applications for your review. ACTION REQUIRED This is for discussion. No action is necessary as this is an update as to the status of analyzing the 3 way or 4 way stop sign locations.

Discuss Status of Crosstown Boulevard/Crosstown Drive Intersection DATE: February 5, 2009 INTRODUCTION Staff continues to pursue a City Council initiative to improve the intersection of Crosstown Boulevard and Crosstown Drive. 0 DISCUSSION Attached is a concept drawing for discussion. Staff has met with the Anoka County Highway Department (ACHD) to discuss the minimum improvements they would require based on the concept. The concept plan was submitted to the ACHD by em ail on January 20, 2009. No response has been received as of February 2nd. Once comments are received a detailed cost estimate can be completed. This information will be shared with the City Council at the February Workshop. The County has stated that they do not have money at this time to contribute to this project so if the improvements are to move forward the City would have to fund the entire project.

Trail Grant Update DATE: February 5, 2009 INTRODUCTION The City Council has approved two trail grant applications to expand the City's current trail system. The first application is a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant through the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDot) for a trail section along the east side 0 of Hanson Boulevard from 148th Lane to 150th Lane. The second grant is the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for Local Trail Connections Grant for a trail segment that would connect the Kennington 7th Addition development to Andover Station North, which would complete a missing segment that would link Crosstown Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard. DISCUSSION The SRTS grant was submitted to MnDot in November of 2008. Attached for your information is a copy of the grant submittal. This is the second time this grant has been applied for. Staff feels that this has an excellent chance to be awarded this time around. If the funding is approved staff will prepare the plans and specifications late summer into early fall and construct the improvements in the spring of 2010. The submittal date for the DNR Trail grant is February 27, 2009. Staff is currently working on the application. If this funding is received, the timing for improvements would follow the same schedule as the SRTS project. Attached is the trail layout showing the connection between Crosstown Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard. ACTION REQUIRED This is for discussion only. No action is required at this time.

The infrastructure deficiency is that no connecting trail was attach d. built along this segment of roadway between 148th Lane and 150th Lane to connect it to the existing trail system leading to or from Andover Elementary and Oak View Middle School when the surrounding area was developed. (Appendix D, Figure 1 & Appendix E, Illustrations 1, 2, & 3). This high-risk situation poses a potentially dangerous scenario for students traveling along Hanson Boulevard to and from these schools. Since there is a two-mile walking zone for the schools, a large percentage of the students are affected by the deficiency of the current trail system. According to the "2003-2006 Crash Data" from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Appendix D, Figure 3), there have been numerous accidents along Hanson Boulevard NW in the vicinity of the proposed trail. These occurrences included injuries and damage to property. In light of these facts, the City of Andover would like to ensure the safety of the children walking along this route by providing a safe trail for them to travel. The City of Andover is extremely committed to creating a trail system in the community to 28. PI ase summarize any assist residents in traveling through the City.

The proposed trail will connect to an existing segment of trail allowing students the ability to travel to a controlled signal intersection at Crosstown Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard as they walk north toward the schools or south on their return trip home. . Currently, Andover has over 26 miles of trails. This project will be a great asset for the City of Andover and will help continue our goal of creating a vast trail system for our community and more importantly a vital addition to serve schools. At the November 5th City Council Meeting, the members of the Council passed a resolution in 0 support of the Safe Routes to School Grant Program application. The City Council also pledged their financial support authorizing the funding of in-kind services and any funding necessary to complete the project. Through the construction of this trail and the educational components surrounding it, the Andover children and residents will benefit greatly. Our goal is to educate and encourage healthy lifestyles for our community, especially our children and continue to expand our trail system to accommodate this promotion. Through partne~ships with the local schools and other agencies, we will continually strive to achieve this. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, City of Andover Q~~O:~ David D.

At approximately 7:30 am I observed several students crossing CSAH 78 (Hanson Blvd) from east to west at 148th Lane. There is a vertical curve on CSAH 78 north of this location making it difficult for southbound vehicles to see pedestrians. There is no marked crosswalk at 148th Lane, as mid-block pedestrian crossings are not consistent with safety standards. I was wondering if we should possibly recommend to the City of Andover and Andover Elementary SchooljAnoka-Hennepin that they consider building apprOXimately 1000 linear feet of bituminous path on the east side of Hanson from 148th Lane to 150th Lane to address this issue. This would create a continuous bit path from 148th Lane to the signal at CSAH 18 (Crosstown Blvd) on the east side of CSAH 78 where the children can safely cross CSAH 78 at a signal with a crossing guard and full pedestrian features. We could remind them that there is funding available from The Safe Routes to School program. They are accepting applications until November 21,2008.

This trail will allow students the ability to travel to a controlled signal intersection and help reduce traffic-related pedestrian - injuries and deaths. Children are particularly vulnerable to pedestrian death because they are exposed to traffic threats that exceed their cognitive, developmental, physical and sensory abilities. This. is exacerbated by the fact that parents often overestimate their children's pedestrian skills. Children are impulsive and have difficulty judging speed, spatial relations, and distance. Auditory and visual acuity, depth perceptions and property scanning ability develop gradually and do not fully mature until at least the age of 10. With the increase of business development around the area in which the schools are located, our office has seen an increase of traffic related concerns. Our office will support your effort by ensuring that traffic laws are obeyed in the vicinity of the sch-ooisand participate in supporting community enforcement and educational programs. By collaboratively working together, we can help to reduce unintentional injuries to children. Sincerely, ~~ J c-.-- If .

It is estimated that 1 in 3 children and 1 in 2 minority children born after 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime. By 2010, 10% ofU.S population will have diabetes and 50% of children will be considered overweight. If these obesity trends continue, today's youth will be the first generation in history not expected to outlive the life expectancy of previous generations. It is crucial to educate children on the importance ofliving a healthy lifestyle and the benefits of exercise. The American Diabetes Association is proud to offer an event that teaches students about diabetes and ways to prevent the disease by eating right and exercising regularly.

I am both a parent living in the neighborhood (154th Ave NW) and the pastor of a church located in the shopping center across the street from Oakview Middle School. 0 I have witnessed, on an almost daily basis, children crossing Hanson Blvd along the proposed segment of trail, both within and outside of normal school hours. This seems to me an extremely dangerous venture given the posted speed limit of 55 mph. The recent dqubling of lanes from two to four lanes farther south on Hanson i~ a good indication that this traffic hazard will only grow. As a parent of two teens, I'd hate to see the development of a trail wait until someone's child was killed while crossing. Our church is in the process of developing youth programs for children in the affected area. We are expecting that as these programs grow, we will see an increasing volume of foot and bicycle traffic to our church from along the proposed trail segment. I'm confident that developing a trail along this segment would substantially improve safety for the youth travelling to school as well as to our church.

Trail Grant Update DATE: February 5, 2009 INTRODUCTION The City Council has approved two trail grant applications to expand the City's current trail system. The first application is a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant through the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDot) for a trail section along the east side 0 of Hanson Boulevard from 148th Lane to 150th Lane. The second grant is the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for Local Trail Connections Grant for a trail segment that would connect the Kennington 7th Addition development to Andover Station North, which would complete a missing segment that would link Crosstown Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard. DISCUSSION The SRTS grant was submitted to MnDot in November of 2008. Attached for your information is a copy of the grant submittal. This is the second time this grant has been applied for. Staff feels that this has an excellent chance to be awarded this time around. If the funding is approved staff will prepare the plans and specifications late summer into early fall and construct the improvements in the spring of 2010. The submittal date for the DNR Trail grant is February 27, 2009. Staff is currently working on the application. If this funding is received, the timing for improvements would follow the same schedule as the SRTS project. Attached is the trail layout showing the connection between Crosstown Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard. ACTION REQUIRED This is for discussion only, No action is required at this time.

(Appendix D, Figure 1 & Appendix E, Illustrations 1, 2, & 3). This high-risk situation poses a potentially dangerous scenario for students traveling along Hanson Boulevard to and from these schools. Since there is a two-mile walking zone for the schools, a large percentage of the students are affected by the deficiency of the current trail system. According to the "2003-2006 Crash Data" from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Appendix D, Figure 3), there have been numerous accidents along Hanson Boulevard NW in the vicinity of the proposed trail. These occurrences included injuries and damage to property.

The construction of a trail along the east side ofCSAH 78 (Hanson Blvd) between 148th Lane and 150th Lane will provide a safe route for o students walking or bicycling to and from residential areas and Andover Elementary School and Oak View Middle School. The proposed improvement fills part of a.gap in the existing trail network along CSAH 78 and provides an opportunity for students to cross a busy roadway at a signalized intersection. The Highway Department will work with the city to implement the trail improvements. The city has asked for input from the county on the potential trail connection as part of developing its grant application. Ifthe proposed project is successful, the county will work with the city to develop trail plans. We believe that the proposed improvemynts serving Andover Elementary and Oak View Middle Schools will provide a safer environment for students to get to and from school. The proposed improvements also support a healthier lifestyle that encourages children to get exercise and to be outdoors. Dou las W. Fischer, P.E.

At approximately 7:30 am I observed several students crossing CSAH 78 (Hanson Blvd) from east to west at 148th Lane. There is a vertical curve on CSAH 78 north of this location making it difficult for southbound vehicles to see pedestrians. There is no marked crosswalk at 148th Lane, as mid-block pedestrian crossings are not consistent with safety standards. I was wondering if we should possibly recommend to the City of Andover and Andover Elementary School/Anoka-Hennepin that they consider building approximately 1000 linear feet of bituminous path on the east side of Hanson from 148th Lane to 150th Lane to address this issue. This would create a continuous bit path from 148th Lane to the signal at CSAH 18 (Crosstown Blvd) on the east side of CSAH 78 where the children can safely cross CSAH 78 at a signal with a crossing guard and full pedestrian features. We could remind them that there is funding available from The Safe Routes to School program. They are accepting applications until November 21,2008.

This trail will allow students the 0 ability to travel to a controlled signal intersection and help reduce traffic-related pedestrian injuries and deaths. Children are particularly vulnerable to pedestrian death because they are exposed to traffic threats that exceed their cognitive, developmental, physical and sensory abilities. This. is exacerbated by the fact that parents often overestimate their children's pedestrian skills. Children are impulsive and have difficulty judging speed, spatial relations, and distance. Auditory and visual acuity, depth perceptions and property scanning ability develop gradually and do not fully mature until at least the age of 10. With the increase of business development around the area in which the schools are located, our office has seen an increase of traffic related concerns. Our office will support your effort by ensuring that traffic laws are obeyed in the vicinity of the scnna!s and participate in supporrrng community enforcement and educational programs. By collaboratively working together, we can help to reduce unintentional injuries to children. Sincerely, ry-~ v.-' . !I. Captain Tom Wells ACSO Patrol Division 0 TW:II Affirmative Action,lEqual Opportunity Empioyer 0 A American Diabetes @ Association@ Cure · Care · Commitment@ The American Diabetes Association applauds the efforts of the City of Andover in its plan to combat childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes by creating a trail system for bicycling and walking to and from school. It is estimated that 1 in 3 children and 1 in 2 minority children born after 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime. By 2010, 10% ofU.S population will have diabetes and 50% of children will be considered overweight. If these obesity trends continue, today's youth will be the first generation in history not expected to outlive the life expectancy of previous generations. It is crucial to educate children on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and the benefits of exercise. The American Diabetes Association is proud to offer an event that teaches students about diabetes and ways to prevent the disease by eating right and exercising regularly.

I am both a parent living in the neighborhood (154th Ave NW) and the pastor of a church located in the shopping center across the street from Oakview Middle School. 0 I have witnessed, on an almost daily basis, children crossing Hanson Blvd along the proposed segment of trail, both within and outside of normal school hours. This seems to me an extremely dangerous venture given the posted speed limit of 55 mph. The recent dqubling of lanes from two to four lanes farther south on Hanson i~ a good indication that this traffic hazard will only grow. As a parent of two teens, I'd hate to see the development of a trail wait until someone's child was killed while crossing. Our church is in the process of developing youth programs for children in the affected area. We are expecting that as these programs grow, we will see an increasing volume of foot and bicycle traffic to our church from along the proposed trail segment. I'm confident that developing a trail along this segment would substantially improve safety for the youth travelling to school as well as to our church. .
