Description
The recent closure of the France ave bridge has rerouted a ridiculous amount of traffic down 60th Street. Cars are traveling in excess of 45 mph at times. Additional safety measures need to be taken by the city of Edina to ensure the safety of residents that live in this area. Steps include adding additional stop signs installing a traffic speed notification display. This is unacceptable & frankly unfair to residents that reside in this area of Edina. Please advise on next steps.

Hello Neighbor,
Thank you for submitting your concern. With the detour running thru W 60th St, MnDOT and Hennepin County have taken steps to help improve the overall congestion in this area. MnDOT has updated nearby traffic signal timing along with updating signage and are continuing to monitor traffic impacts.
With new road closures, please give 1-2 weeks for new traffic patterns to be found. We are commuting concerns from residents with MnDOT during this project.
If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Nick Bauler
