Robert,

66th St traffic is becoming overloaded and plain dangerous nearer the bridge over Hwy 100.

Happy to meetuo if you want to discuss how we may organize the neighborhood to help Edina City with the changes. There are quite a few neighbors willing and ready.

Let me know,

Cheers,
Francis

Good morning Neighbor,

Thank you for your traffic safety submission. When it comes to installing traffic signals at specific locations, there are set warrants required by MnDOT that intersections must meet in order for the traffic signals to be utilized properly. The following web link is a web-page from MnDOT explaining these warrants: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/trafficeng/publ/mutcd/mnmutcd2018/mnmutcd-4.pdf

Traffic signal warrants are looked at by eight, four and one hour segments. This will be how this intersection will be reviewed. As this is being studied, a lot of data is needed to make such decisions. We ask for your patience during this process.

If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to continue commenting on this thread or reach out to me directly at my information below.

Thanks,

Nick Bauler

Francis, I would like to be a part of the community group to help resolve this problem now! I don’t want someone to die or get seriously hurt while we wait for the city and state to slowly meander through their bureaucratic process. 66th Street is now being used as a commuters alternative to the Crosstown and it is dangerous for those of us that live in the area. We might need to fight as hard as the 70th Street neighbors who stopped commuting with the 25 mph speed limit. As much as I hate that speed limit, I would prefer that to death or injury.

Hello Neighbor,
Edina's Traffic Safety Committee reviewed this request and is recommending adding no stop controls or traffic signals as warrants are not met. The state of Minnesota sets warrants which intersections must meet for traffic controls and if these traffic controls are implemented improperly, they can cause a false sense of security and drivers learn poor habits and fail to follow those controls.
The Edina Transportation Commission (ETC) will be reviewing this request on December 19th at 6pm in the Community Room located at Edina City Hall (4801 W 50th St). This meeting is open to the public and you are welcome to attend. If you're unable to attend and wish to submit correspondence to the ETC you can click this link: https://edinadocs.edinamn.gov/Forms/contact
If you have further question, please contact me by phone or email that will be below.
Thanks,
