May 24, 2022 Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting

A
Moving
on
to
item
two,
the
approval
of
the
agenda:
are
there
any
additions
or
corrections
to
the
agenda
this
evening?
A
A
We
have
a
motion
and
by
commissioner
martin
and
a
second
by
commissioner
thorson.
Would
you
can
we
have
a
call
for
the
vote?
Please.
A
A
A
D
So
attached
is
a
to
the
staff
report.
Is
a
budget
updated
budget
that
shows
a
slight
decrease
in
the
administration
column
and
that
is
due
to
funding
requirements
that
administration
and
planning
activities
must
not
exceed
20
of
the
grant
amount,
as
well
as
a
slight
increase
to
the
homeowner
rehabilitation
assistance
activity
line.
Item
program.
Income
estimate
remains
the
same
and
I
can
stand
for
any
questions.
A
A
D
Yes,
thank
you
erica
coleman.
I
have
a
brief
presentation
here
for
you
today.
Also
chris
stoka
with
mwf
is
available
to
take
questions
at
the
end,
so
600
west
93rd
street.
I
am
just
showing
here
where
it
is
located
as
well
as
that
is
a
privately
owned
property
that
would
be
purchased
by
the
developer.
D
This
is
a
rendering
from
the
developer
for
a
proposal
of
a
five
story:
building
over
parking
with
105
dwelling
units,
62
covered
stalls
and
55
parking
stalls
on
grade
or
surface
parking.
So
the
pro
pro
proposed
development
excuse
me,
like
I
said,
is
a
five-story
building.
It's
a
105
unit,
senior,
affordable
housing.
It
would
be
100,
affordable
at
or
below
60
area.
Median
income
with
at
least
nine
percent
affordable
at
50
ami
currently
proposed
at
10
units
and
30
percent,
which
is
currently
proposed
at
three
units
area
mean
income.
D
The
developer
proposes
mwf
properties.
They
are
the
same
developer
from
108
place
and
lindell
flats
units
105
and
afford
affordability
at
60
ami,
with
a
focus
on
50
and
30
percent,
a
total
development
cost
of
approximately
29.5
million.
As
of
right
now,
which
is
about
281
thousand
dollars
per
unit.
D
So,
right
now
before
you,
the
preliminary
approval
of
bond
issuance
in
the
estimated
principal
amount
not
to
exceed
16.5
million
is
subject
to
a
public
hearing
at
the
council.
Final
approval
following
the
preparation
of
bond
documents,
receipt
of
an
allocation
of
bonding
authority
from
the
mmb
minnesota
management
and
budget
and
a
final
determination
by
the
city
council
that
the
financing
of
the
project
and
issuance
of
bonds
are
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city.
D
That
is
when
the
application
will
be
due
to
the
mmb
and
then
by
july.
15Th
is
the
date
that
we
have
notification
of
allocations
to
be
known
if
bonds
are
allocated,
the
developer
will
complete
the
entitlement
and
permitting
process
identify
additional
funding
resources,
with
anticipation
to
close
on
this
project
financing
and
break
ground
by
the
end
of
the
year
of
2022..
E
A
A
F
Hi
chris
stoka
here
mwf
properties,
I
think
erica-
did
a
pretty
good
high
level
summary.
This
is
kind
of
the
first
step
in
the
financing,
so
we
have
still
a
long
way
to
go,
but
you
know
we
have
met
with
city
staff
in
the
planning
department
to
talk
about
the
concept
and
so
far,
they've
been
very
supportive
and
we've
we're
working
on
incorporating
some
of
their
feedback
and
yeah.
We
have
really
enjoyed
working
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
F
Our
projects
have
leased
up
really
quickly
shown
a
lot
of
demand
for
this
type
of
affordable
housing
and
our
other
two
projects
are
family
and
we
we
look
forward
to
the
possibility
of
providing
some
affordable
senior
to
the
community.
A
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
or
anything
for
the
developer,
while
they're
on
the
line
seeing
none,
then
I
would,
at
this
time,
offer
up
a
motion
to
support
mwf
properties,
request
to
city
council
to
issue
conduit
bonds
for
the
proposed,
affordable
senior
housing
development
located
at
600,
west
93rd
street.
Second.
A
Could
we
with
the
motion
by
chair
who
came
seconded
by
commissioner
martin?
Can
we
do
a
roll
call
vote?
Please.
A
Perfect
moving
on,
we
are
now
moving
on
to
our
discussion
items,
starting
with
6.1
housing
programs
update.
Could
we
please
have
the
staff
report.
G
Hi,
I'm
robin
anderson.
I
work
with
the
bloomington
hra
in
the
section
8
department.
I've
been
with
the
city
since
october
of
1998,
so
well
over
20
years,
and
so
things
have
evolved
and
I'm
really
happy
to
be
here
to
kind
of
let
you
know
what's
been
going
on
in
our
department,
and
things
have
been
really
busy
due
to
new
developments
and
we'll
kind
of
show
you
kind
of
that
path.
So
thank
you
for
having
me.
G
G
There
we
go,
I
thought
I'd
just
kind
of
go
over
just
kind
of
some
terms
in
in
the
housing
choice,
voucher
program,
to
kind
of
explain,
kind
of
the
increased
activity,
and
mainly
the
portability,
but
just
thought
I'd
go
through
everything.
A
housing
choice,
voucher,
tenant
base,
that's
just
taking
a
payment
to
a
private
landlord
on
behalf
of
the
eligible
renter
project.
Based
is
rent
assistance
for
eligible
renters,
who
occupy
a
specific
housing
unit,
managed
by
private
owners
who
have
entered
an
agreement
with
the
hra
properties
like
indigo.
G
Our
conversion
of
the
public
housing
units,
lindell
avenue,
which
is
also
public
housing
conversion
cornerstone,
and
I
miss
missing
anything.
I
think
that's
it.
For
the
the
project-based
agreements.
Portability
is
very
complicated,
very
complex.
It's
a
port
in
a
port
out
is
it
billing
is
it
you
know
all
different
kinds
of
transactions,
so
it
does
make
it
tricky.
Sometimes
portability
is
participants
in
the
hev
program
that
can
move
their
voucher
to
another
city.
G
So
if
the
vouchers
in
bloomington
they
want
to
move
to
st
louis
park
and
that
other
agency
cannot
absorb
that
voucher
because
of
their
budget
they're
going
to
bill
it
back
to
the
bloomington
hra
and
that's
in
our
budget,
and
we
can't
really
control
much
of
that
as
far
as
a
poured
out
if
they're
going
to
absorb
or
whatever,
and
then
we
also
have
our
hev
vouchers
that
live
in
bloomington
that
we
have
in
our
budget.
But
then
there's
also
the
poured
in
vouchers
that
we
get
so
there's
a
st
louis
park.
G
Voucher
issued
voucher
moves
to
bloomington.
We
can't
right
now
are
absorbing
any
vouchers
due
to
our
budget,
so
we're
billing
those
back
to
that
agency
and
those
are
starting
to
increase
because
of
the
new
developments
that
we
have
in
the
area.
So
and
with
port
ins,
you
have
just
more
calls
more
tracking
of
payments
and
so
forth.
G
Our
housing
choice,
voucher
program,
there's
400,
as
of
may
for
465
hcv,
voucher
participants,
64
of
those
vouchers
live
in
a
different
area
and
we
are
paying
for
them
in
a
different
location,
and
so
you
get
a
total
of
5
29
that
we
have
in
our
budget.
G
We
also
have
which
is
new
this
year,
which
we're
really
excited
is
the
foster
youth
to
independence,
fyi
vouchers
awarded.
We
are
eligible
up
to
10
vouchers.
Currently,
right
now
we
have
two
for
two
referrals
and
we've
issued
one
here
in
may,
and
we
also
in
this
year
also
have
five
special
veteran
vash
vouchers
awarded,
and
we
just
issued
one
of
those
in
may
as
well,
so
we're
waiting
to
see
if
they
are
successful
and
leasing
up
which
we're
really
excited
talking
about
portability
again.
G
Typically,
maybe
like
two
years
ago,
three
years
ago,
we
could
average
about
seven
port
ins
a
month
that
we
would
process,
and
you
know,
having
more
opportunities,
more
places
where
voucher
holders
can
go,
which
is
very
exciting.
G
It
does
increase
our
our
numbers,
and
so
I
thought
I'd
take
from
january
to
may
kind
of
where
the
increased
number
of
applications
and
then
what
we
have
process.
So,
if
you
can
see
in
january
up
to
may
it
increased
to
110
vouchers
that
we
track
payments
and
so
forth,
and
we
also
you
know,
do
interims
and
and
so
forth.
So
that
has
really
increased
our
number
of
vouchers
that
we
administer,
maybe
not
in
our
budget
but
we're
still.
G
It
just
keeps
growing
and
in
our
biggest
months,
where
april
and
may,
where
we
had
19
that
we
were
processing
for
payment.
G
G
C
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
being
here
it's
great
to
meet
more
of
the
team,
and
you
mentioned
this
is
complicated,
so
maybe
there's
more
of
an
offline
conversation
to
get
me
up
to
speed,
so
you
would
mention
being
able
to
absorb
somebody
porting
into
our
communities
based
on
budget
constraints.
Obviously
I
guess
how
often
are
communities
able
to
absorb
these
port
ins?
I
got
to
assume
everybody's
running
pretty
close
to
what
their
budget
numbers
are.
G
Madam
chair,
commissioner,
martin,
yes,
currently
right
now
I
mean
it
really
just
depends
on
month
to
month
when
and
when
our
budgets
are
really
tight.
You
know
we
can.
Oh,
we
can
absorb
two,
maybe
one
bedrooms
or
you
know
like
it's
just
more
of
a,
but
I
would
say
most
agencies
are
are
billing.
It
depends
too,
on
you
know
whether
it's
rural
or
you
know
like
you
know
those
types
of
things,
because
you
know
one
rural
voucher
comes
to
to
bloomington
and
we're
billing.
G
That
could
mean
two
participants
in
their
community
because
of
the
higher
hat
payment,
but
it's
really
kind
of
fluid
month
to
month
I
would
say,
but
lately
we've
been
just
billing,
the
vouchers,
because
you
know
but
things
change.
I
mean
markets
change
and
you
know
we
could
get
the
port
outs
that
are
in
a
different
community
and
they
they
need,
they
need
15
vouchers
and
they
could
absorb
those,
and
we
would
do
that.
C
And
then
just
kind
of
a
quick
follow-up
to
that,
so
the
port
ends
are
they
applying?
Are
they
applying
for
those
that
poured
in
availability?
I
guess
for
lack
of
a
better
word
once
they
identify
a
unit
that
they
would
like
to
occupy
in
bloomington,
or
they
say
I
would
like
to
start
looking
in
bloomington
just
with
how
fast
these
units
get
snapped
up.
G
I'll
go
on
to
the
hra
own
single
family
homes.
We
have
41
homes
in
our
two
programs.
20
of
them
are
the
assisted
rental,
project-based
housing,
choice,
voucher
program
and
21
are
for
the
rental
homes
for
future
home
buyers.
It's
a
five-year
program
that
is
geared
for
kind
of
people,
even
between
renting
and
owning
their
own
home.
G
So
if
somebody's
on
a
voucher
program,
they
might
look
at
this
program,
but
you
know
they
have
to
be
pretty
secure
to
go
off
that
voucher
if
they're
up
to
the
standard
and
and
look
into
that
as
an
option.
G
As
of
may
1st,
there
were
four
houses
that
completed
a
move
out
and
our
movement
move-in
turns-
and
I
would
say
that
would
be
on
the
you
know.
We
usually
don't
have
that
that
many,
but
so
we
had
some
turnovers
and
two
houses
are
in
the
process
of
a
move
out
and
our
move-in
turns
and
three
houses
are
completing
the
five-year
program
and
will
have
opportunity
to
purchase
a
home
within
the
next
12
months.
A
G
D
Okay,
so
wanted
to
go
through
homelessness,
responsive
prevention,
so
under
homelessness
response
and
prevention,
the
city
council
did
approve
arp
funding
of
up
to
250
000
for
different
homelessness
response
prevention
services.
I
do
want
to
add
that
there
were
separate
from
that
funding.
Nine
vouchers
issued
for
people
experiencing
long-term
homelessness.
D
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
you
know
that,
and
then
there
are
three
households
within
this
funding:
the
arp
funding
that
have
been
assisted
this
year
with
emergency
temporary
housing,
and
this
is
a
partnership
with
bloomington
public
schools.
So
these
are
students
and
their
families
with
also
with
some
of
this
funding,
as
well
as
cdbg
coronavirus
funding.
We
have
non-profit
service
providers
who
we
do
have
contracts
with
veep,
who
is
providing
emergency
rental
assistance
and
food
shelf
support
clues?
D
Who
is
providing
rental
mortgage
and
utility
assistance,
cmrs
and
saccon?
Who
is
providing
housing
navigation
services?
So
that's
possibly
meeting
with
different
bloomington
households
and
making
sure
that
they're
getting
the
support
that
they
need
to
know
where
to
go,
whether
it's
veep
clues,
hennepin,
county
or
other
places,
and
then
the
homeownership
center,
who
is
offering
our
foreclosure
prevention,
counseling
and
assistance.
D
I
also
want
to
add
that
we
do
have
a
request
for
consultant
quote
open
for
the
state
of
bloomington
homelessness.
It's
a
study
that
was
approved
in
the
arp
funding
for
home,
assist
prevention,
response
and
prevention
services
to
undergo
a
study
of
what
is
the
state
of
homelessness
in
bloomington.
Any
questions.
A
Are
there
any
questions?
I
oh?
No,
I
actually
do
have
one
I'm
just
curious
and
I'm
just
not
saying
that
this.
You
have
this
information
on
you,
but
I'm
I'm
curious
on
how
these
how
much
of
these
services
are
being
used?
Maybe
postcovid
versus
you
know
right
in
the
real
heart
of
covet.
If
we
have
kind
of
any
idea
what
our
community
is
looking
like
at
this
time
for
the
need.
D
Absolutely
thank
you
for
that
question
chair
so
for
the
bloomington
public
schools.
That's
now,
I
careful
to
say
post
covet
knock
on
wood,
but
for
the
non-profit
service
providers.
D
There
was
not
a
funding
source
provided
for
veep
for
emergency
rental
or
housing
assistance,
so
that
is
not
something
that
we
normally
have,
and
so
since
then,
with
the
beginning
of
this
year,
we
signed
contracts
with
deep
clues
cmrsacon
just
this
year,
because
the
funding
that
is
coming
through
is
the
cdbg
cares
act,
funding
the
final
character,
funding
that
we
got
as
a
city
and
also
the
deed,
cdbg
coronavirus
funds
grant
that
we
did
apply
for
through
the
city
of
bloomington
and
we
are
administering
it
as
the
hra,
but
that
funding
was
applied
for
and
awarded
to
the
city
of
bloomington
and
that's
where
clues
and
veep
food
shelf
support
come
in,
and
so
it's
actually
being
used
quite
a
bit
and
I
will
have
updated
numbers
within
the
next
couple
of
months.
A
Perfect,
thank
you.
I
have
one
follow-up
question.
Since
we
are,
as
you
say,
I
mean,
and
I
will
say
that
we're
still
in
this
pandemic,
is
there
any.
I
haven't
been
paying
attention,
but
is
there
any
news
on
possible
more
funding
going
to
be
available
through
the
government
that
we
can
apply
for
to
continue
supporting
these
programs
or
we
just
not
know
yet
maybe.
D
Thank
you
for
the
question
chair
at
this
time.
I
have
not
been
notified
of
additional
funding
to
assist
households
from
impacts
due
to
the
pandemic,
but
we
are
paying
attention
and
watching
to
see
if
there's
any
other
funding
that
may
come
available
at
least
from
the
state,
maybe
not
the
federal
government.
I'm
not
sure.
D
And
then
home
ownership
programs,
so
homes
within
reach
walt,
we
do
have
under
the
funding
that
they
have
with
cdbg,
that
is
approved.
D
As
they
said,
they
would
look
to
raise
additional
funding
to
see
about
doing
a
new
construction,
affordable,
homeownership
opportunity
home
here
in
bloomington,
and
so
we
have
more
to
come
on
that
later
home
buyer
mortgage
assistance,
the
lending
administration
service
provider
request
for
proposals
will
be
released
to
get
at
least
two
organizations
to
help
administer
that,
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
add
where
these
are
not
programs.
We
are
administering.
We
have
an
increase
in
calls
and
we
are
advertising
and
referring
so
one
in
particular,
is
home,
help
minnesota.
D
D
The
application
period
is
very
short,
it
is
may
17
through
june
17th,
and
that
is
because
the
state
is
sure
they
will
get
more
requests
or
applications
than
they
have
funding
for
this
was
advertised
through
our
affordable
housing
listserv,
as
well
as
on
social
media,
and
so
you
can
see
that
under
bloomington
government
on
facebook,
the
bloomington
page-
and
you
can
re-share
that
if
you
would
like,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
information
gets
out
and
then
home
stretch
workshop
for
first-time
homebuyers.
D
If
you
go
to
that
webpage,
it's
ppl
project
for
pride
and
living
is
the
partner
which
we
have
worked
with
ppo
years
before
and
helping
to
construct
some
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities
here
in
bloomington.
They
do
have
a
list
of
additional
dates
in
edina
for
this
workshop
for
first-time
homebuyers
from
june
through,
I
think
october.
A
H
Ma'am,
chair
more
members,
so
a
little
shift
in
topics
here
from
housing
to
transportation
studies-
I
don't
know
if
they
trade
board's
kind
of
transportation
update
before,
but
we
wanted
to
keep
you
in
the
loop
on
some
projects
that
are
directly
or
also
indirectly
impacting
the
hra
in
the
future.
So
with
that,
we've
got
two
projects:
I'll
talk
to
you
about
tonight
that
are
ongoing.
H
So
I'll
start
with
the
old
cedar
avenue
this
project's
about
halfway
through
the
process
already,
there's
been
some
work
done
on
it,
but
it's
a
fairly
smaller
scale
project,
but
in
2023
next
year
old
cedar
avenue
was
programmed
to
have
a
overlay
project.
So
that's
where
they
take
the
top
layer
of
asphalt
and
kind
of
re-put
that
down
to
extend
the
life
of
the
road,
and
so,
when
you're
doing
that,
you
obviously
have
to
stripe
the
road
after
the
new
asphalt
goes
down.
So
they
took.
H
So
looking
at
that
they're
also
looking
at
intersection
modifications
that
might
happen
as
a
result
of
that
restriping
and
when
you
start
looking
at
intersection
modifications.
The
big
intersection,
obviously
is
old,
cedar
and
old
shakopee
road
and
how
that
new
layout
would
kind
of
fit
within
any
modifications.
That
would
happen.
So
they
wanted
to
re-examine
some
potential
layouts
for
for
reconfiguring
that
intersection.
H
So
that
intersection
has
a
an
alternative,
already
kind
of
designed.
But
it's
expected
in
2027
that
that
would
be
reconstructed
and
right
now,
as
we
were
talking
about
funding
cycles
earlier
the
sooner
you
can
start
getting
funding
line
up
the
better.
So
this
study
will
kind
of
set
up
some
grant
opportunities
that
we'll
be
pursuing
with
hennepin
county.
H
So
when
you
look
at
old
cedar
avenue,
it's
a
moderate
traffic
level,
there's
about
4
700
vehicles
to
8
600
vehicles
a
day
which
sounds
like
a
lot,
but
it's
actually
not
a
huge
amount
in
comparison.
I'll
talk
later
about
98th
street,
it
has
about
30
000
vehicles,
so
a
little
bit
of
a
comparison.
So
with
that
traffic
level
you
can
we
can
there's
some
wiggle
room
on
what
we
do
with
the
striping
along
that
corridor
also
has
the
nokomis
minnesota
river
regional
trail.
H
I
kind
of
cut
it
off
here,
my
little
blocking,
but
it's
a
trail
that
connects
down
to
the
old
cedar
bridge
regional
trail.
So
it's
a
great
amenity
that
we
want
to
encourage
pedestrian
and
bicycle
use
of
so
along
the
corridor.
Also,
there's
kind
of
a
mix
of
uses
of
residential,
especially
as
you
go
north,
but
then
you
get
that
commercial
aspect
at
old,
cedar
and
old
shock,
and
you
have
that
larger
intersection.
H
So
basically,
the
two
options
that
are
being
reviewed
as
part
of
this
study
are
to
continue
with
the
the
four-lane
road
alternative,
a
up
top
with
some
minor
tweaks
here
and
there
were
possible
for
pedestrian
crossings
etc
or,
what's
likely
alternative
is
alternative
b,
which
is
a
three
lane
conversion,
so
you
can
see
where
we're
not
proposing
to
move
the
curb
lines
at
all.
H
This
is
just
an
overlays
we're
not
reconstructing
so
there's
not
really
wiggle
room
to
make
anything
wider,
but
there
is
opportunity
to
go
down
to
three
lanes
and
then
you
have
a
center
kind
of
turn
lane.
So
the
reason
you
do
this
is
for
for
safety.
If
you
have
a
low
enough
traffic
volume,
if
you,
if
you
have
too
much
traffic,
obviously
you
need
throughput
of
vehicles,
but
in
this
case
we're
in
that
middle
range.
A
three-lane
conversion
is
appropriate
here,
and
so
it
increases
safety
because
one
you
have
a
dedicated
turn
lane.
H
Now,
whereas
if
I'm
stopped
and
the
car
behind
me
doesn't
see
me,
they
might
rear-end
me
or
you
might
have
two
cars
that
might
be
making
lefts,
and
I
think
I
have
a
I'll
show
you
in
a
bit,
but
you
kind
of
obstruct,
obstructed,
viewpoints
of
the
car
that
might
be
hiding
behind
that
in
a
blind
spot.
So
you
eliminate
that
second
lane
that
you're
worrying
about
that
might
be
blocked
from
sight.
H
But
you
look
at
that
throughput.
We
expect
there'll
be
minimal
change
in
operation.
One
of
the
issues
to
consider
is
that
we
have
some
medians
currently
along
the
roadway
and
those
would
have
to
either
be
those
would
have
to
be
removed,
because
the
center
turn
lane
would
now
occupy
that.
So
it
gets
into
a
little
bit
of
the
design
aspect.
H
And
then
how
that
design
of
the
three
lane
to
four
lane
fits
in
with
the
old
shakopee
and
old
cedar
intersection?
You
can
see
this
example
on
the
right
here.
This
kind
of
also
shows
that
same
issue.
When
you
have
a
car,
that's
making
a
left
turn
and
another
car,
that's
making
a
left
turn.
You
could
have
another
third
car
kind
of
sneaking
behind
there
that
you
don't
see.
So
that
creates
an
issue
where
you
might
have
a
potential
crash.
H
For
the
intersection,
there
are
two
alternatives
that
are
being
looked
at:
kind
of
re
working
with
kind
of
the
layout.
That's
been
there,
but
fixing
some
issues
with
that
that
turn
lane
right
now,
old,
shakopee
road
doesn't
have
a
dedicated
turn
lane,
so
you
still
have
that
kind
of
rear
end
or
that
visibility
issue.
H
Having
that
dedicated
turn,
lane
allows
you
to
have
signal
phasing
that
might
let
a
green
arrow
let
cars
go
and
others
other
improvements
upon
the
intersection
that
aren't
currently
there
and
but
with
a
roundabout,
which
is
another
option.
You
do
allow
a
lot
of
cars
to
get
through
that
and
they
don't
have
to
stop
for
a
light.
So
you
don't
have
that
issue.
It
works
really
well
for
throughput
and
in
some
cases
it's
sometimes
it
could
be
better
for
pedestrians
because
they
only
have
to
look
toward
one
area.
H
They
don't
have
to
look
at
both
sides
of
the
street
when
they're
crossing,
but
in
some
cases
it
might
not
be
as
good
because
you
don't
have
a
signal,
that's
stopping
the
cars,
so
that's
something
that's
being
evaluated
with.
In
both
cases,
though,
there
will
be
right
away
impact,
so
there
will
be
properties
that
are
impacted.
H
It
looks
really
obvious,
with
the
the
roundabout
that
it
kind
of
takes
up
a
lot
of
room,
but
it's
a
little
bit
deceiving
on
that
left
turn
side.
It
still
does
impact
the
right
of
way
and
those
there
still
will
be
a
private
property
impacts.
That'll
have
to
be
addressed,
but
it
should
also
be
noted-
and
this
is
why
we're
bringing
this
to
hra
as
well,
because
this
is
one
of
our
areas
that
we're
looking
at
redevelopment,
one
of
the
commercial
nodes
that
may
potentially
come
across
the
hra
in
the
future.
H
A
high
interest
in
the
area
so
so
indirectly
may
affect
your
work,
but
the
roundabout
will
affect
access
to
different
commercial
properties
in
the
area
and
how
they
get
into
the
apartment.
Building
here,
the
winston
apartment,
building
and
other
emergency
vehicle
access,
so
there's
other
implications
that
come
with
that
design
that
are
being
evaluated
currently,
but.
H
I
H
There
there
will
be
you
asked
if
there
were
public
hearings
yep,
so
the
this
was
actually
presented
to
planning
commission
as
well,
and
I
believe
today
might
go
to
council
last
night
of
information
only
and
actually
I'll
get
to
that
in
the
next
steps.
But
this
will
go
to
public
hearing.
So
the
first
there's
really
two
items
that
are
part
of
the
study
and
the
first
is
looking
at
the
restriping
for
next
year.
H
So
that
has
a
public
hearing
and
then
this
this
aspect
will
have
a
public
hearing
at
some
point
in
the
future
when
an
alternative
is
chosen.
But
it's
still
conceptual
at
this
point
and
until
it's
funded
and
programmed
in
our
capital
improvement
plan,
it's
still
kind
of
up
in
the
air,
but
when
it
becomes
finalized
and
programmed
it
will
have
a
public
hearing
as
part
of
that.
H
But
one
of
the
big
issues
that
planning
commission
brought
up
was
just
ensuring
that
there's
pedestrian
and
bicycle
access
through
here
because
of
the
trail
to
the
south,
it's
a
great
amenity
connecting
to
the
river
valley
and
the
old
cedar
bridge,
and
we
don't
want
to
lose
that
with
the
residential.
That's
to
the
north.
Here
we
want
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
pedestrians
can
cross
that
intersection.
H
So
I
kind
of
went
through
these
larger,
the
uncontrolled
versus
the
controlled,
with
the
signal
and
but
in
both
cases
they
will
improve
safety
and
kind
of
mitigate
issues
with
crashing
and
that
visibility
issue.
H
So
the
next
steps
yeah
refine
the
concepts
part
of
why
it
was
being
presented
is
because
they'll
be
the
highway
safety
improvement
program.
Grant
that
will
the
city
will
be
pursuing
so
we'll
be
looking
at
and
that's
for
the
intersection
of
old
cedar
avenue
and
old
shakopee
road,
so
hopefully
we'll
be
applying
for
that
in
june,
and
this
study
kind
of
influences
what
that
application
will
look
like,
and
hopefully
we
get
funding
for
that
that
intersection
reconstruction.
H
But
we
will
have
public
hearings
for
the
restriping
plan,
and
this
is
expected
kind
of
late
summer.
Early
fall
and
construction
for
the
mill
and
overlay
project
will
be
next
year.
A
I
have
one
question:
thank
you
when
looking
at,
like
especially
the
old
shakopee
area
and
in
part
of
that,
would
the
sidewalks
be
taken
into
consideration
as
well?
I
know
the
sidewalks
are
very
unsafe
in
that
area
very
uneven.
So
would
that
be
part
of
that
plan
as
well.
H
Yes,
absolutely,
madam
chair
that'll,
that
is
a
big
consideration.
The
sidewalks
would
be
reconstructed
to
the
modern
standards
and
make
sure
that
they're
complying
with
ada
right
now.
You
know
it's
never
ideal
when
they're
up
against
the
the
roadway
having
some
sort
of
separation
or
some
sort
of
barrier
making
sure
there's
some
adequate
barrier
between
is
important
and,
as
you
know,
some
areas
don't
even
have
sidewalks
yet
so
make
that's
part
of
why,
even
with
the
just
the
intersection,
the
turn
lane
option.
H
A
H
And
so
the
other
project,
that's
a
little
more
directly
related
to
the
hra.
Is
the
98th
street
corridor
plan
or
corridor
study
the
scope
of
this
one?
It's
a
little
bit
bigger
project
it'll
actually
take
about
a
year
to
complete.
So
we
won't
expect
results
till
next
year
early
next
year,
but
it
looks
at
intersection
designs.
It
looks
at
non-motorized
vehicle,
pedestrian,
bicycle
connections.
H
One
of
the
goals
is
to
identify
a
bike
route
through
the
corridor
connecting
into
other
existing
bicycle
infrastructure
again
connecting
to
the
river
valley
to
the
south,
and
hopefully
thinking
broader,
connecting
to
the
tunnel
under
494
to
create
a
regional
connection
north
and
south.
This
is
obviously
a
major
barrier
to
get
through
and
then
looking
at
the
highway
interchange,
which
I
think
you've
been
seeing,
concepts
for
potential
housing
or
redevelopment
of
the
transit
station
and
those
were
really
conceptual
high
nature.
H
This
is
really
to
start
laying
the
groundwork
to
potentially
redevelop
that
site
in
the
future.
So,
to
give
you
a
little
background,
as
the
orange
line
bus
rapid
transit
was
being
completed
with
the
station
the
station
that
recently
opened.
So
it's
just
out
the
door
here
if
you're
not
familiar
with
the
area,
and
I
should
jump
ahead
to
our
corridor
map,
so
we'll
be
looking
basically
from
lindale
avenue
to
basically
city
hall.
We
want
to
connect
the
station
and
that
that
commercial
node
to
civic,
plaza
and
either
vehicle
or
pedestrian
connection.
H
So
as
part
of
the
the
supporting
metro
transit,
we
complete
the
98th
street
station
area
plan,
identifying
ways
to
redevelop
and
address
pedestrian
connections
and
just
how
different
ways
to
support
the
transit
to
make
sure
it
was
a
successful
project.
H
And
while
there
were
a
lot
of
pedestrian
and
transportation
projects
identified
in
there,
this
is
now
the
next
step
to
kind
of
give
that
engineering,
modeling
and
design
work
that
really
needed
for
when
you
actually
start
to
go
into
construction
and
then,
as
I
had
mentioned,
you
had
seen
some
conceptual
plans
for
redevelopment,
but
right
now
that
property
was
purchased
with
right
away
loan
acquisition
funds.
H
So
the
preferred
alternative
that
exists
is
an
interchange.
It
was
never
fully
completed.
We
don't
have
a
loop
there
right
now.
We
have
the
transit
station,
but
you
can
see
there's
an
exit
ramp
and
an
on-ramp
that
was
designed
for
those
property
and
that's
why
those
properties
were
purchased,
but
it
was
never
constructed
and
you
need
a
public
use,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
history
of
why
there's
a
transit
station
there.
H
H
So
this
study
will
hopefully
give
us
the
a
new
recommendation
that
meets
mndot's
design
criteria
and
has
the
support
of
mndot,
and
once
the
minnesota
department
of
transportation
agrees
and
accepts
the
new
alternative,
we
can
then
start
entering
the
process
of
how
do
we
pay
back
the
loan
funds
or
work
with
someone
to
pay
back
the
loan
funds
and
look
at
the
redevelopment?
But
really
this
is
the
first
step
where
we
need
to
identify
a
new
concept
and
just
to
note,
I
don't
think
this
design
actually
meets
mndot
standards.
H
Today,
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
tight
loop
that
you
would
have
to
do
so.
I
I
think
everyone
is
excited
to
see
what
the
new
layout
would
look
like.
H
So
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
the
area,
but
it's
a
big
large
commercial
node
on
the
east,
lindale
and
98th
street.
You
have
some
big
shopping.
Centers
the
fairview
oxboro
clinic
you've
got
grocery
store
the
starbucks,
so
a
high
highly
active
area.
H
You
have
the
transit
station
that
just
open,
and
then
you
have
the
highway
interchange,
which
acts
as
a
big
barrier
right
for
people
trying
to
come.
This
way
towards
the
industrial
area
to
the
north,
here
of
city
hall,
an
employment
center
or
people
just
coming
to
civic
plaza,
for
whatever
events
we
might
be
having
so
finding
ways
to
connect
people
either
through
vehicle
or
through
walking
or
biking,
is
an
important
part
of
this
study.
H
And
so
we've
already
had
quite
a
bit
of
work
done
with
the
98th
street
plan,
and
then
we
have
the
lindale
avenue
retrofit
plan
that
had
some
concepts
as
well
that
are
incorporated,
and
now
the
engineers
are
busy
collecting
existing
traffic
counts
and
starting
to
do
some
modeling.
This
is
just
kicked
off
in
just
about
a
month,
not
even
a
month
ago.
H
So
we
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
this
because
of
the
hra's
involvement
with
the
project
and
that
by
fall
we
should
have
some
kind
of
preliminary
results.
That
will
then
have
the
consultant
come
back
and
actually
give
a
formal
presentation
and
some
ideas
that
they
will
be
kind
of
vetting
with
the
hra.
H
So
right
now
they're
collecting
baseline
data.
You
might
saw
the
cameras
out
there.
They
they're
now
doing
pretty
cool
cameras
that
are
on
sticks
and
they'll.
They'll
do
traffic
counts,
churning
movements
and
kind
of
give
that
data
about
where
people
are
going
coming
and
going
through
the
corridor
and
then
when
they
have
that
and
can
come
up
with
some
kind
of
conceptual
design
works
and
modeling.
Based
on
that
they'll
start
doing
some
outreach
this
summer,
we'll
have
a
let's
talk,
bloomington
page
with
an
interactive
map
and
surveys.
H
Potentially
we
plan
to
do
in-person
feedback
with
one-on-one
meetings,
so
the
consultant
has
a
sub-consultant
alliance,
so
bolton
banks,
the
engineering
consultant
alliance
engineering
is
helping
with
the
outreach
and
they
hired
a
third
consultant.
H
I
believe
it's
eeo
that
will
help
with
kind
of
one-on-one
discussions
with
different
stakeholders
in
the
area,
so
we'll
be
doing
one-on-one
meetings
we'll
be
doing
kind
of
pop-up
events,
potentially
at
the
farmer's
market
and
other
events
that
might
be
going
on
in
the
area
we'll
be
doing
surveys
and
then,
potentially,
even
just
going
to
the
transit
station
asking
people.
H
How
do
they
use
the
corridor
to
help
guide
some
of
those
design
works
so
they'll
create
some
concepts
and
kind
of
again
some
open
houses
to
kind
of
choose
what
the
best
concepts
are
and
we'll
bring
that
back
to
hra
commission
planning,
commission
and
council
to
kind
of
that
preliminary
as
we
work,
and
that
will
be
kind
of
fall
time
and
then
they'll
kind
of
refine
that
some
more
and
bring
it
back
for
kind
of
final
design
and
final
recommendations
in
early
spring
next
year.
H
So
with
that,
I
can
open
up
for
questions.
We
have
kirk
roberts
on
the
line
too,
as
well
he's
the
engineer.
I
just
play
an
engineer
on
tv,
I'm
a
planner.
They
like
to
joke
that
planners
like
to
pretend
we're
engineers.
C
Thank
you,
yeah,
just
just
kind
of
real
quick,
so
I
noticed
I
think
it
was
orange
circles
on
there
that
said,
possible
trail
alignment
over
35
there.
I
I
so
would
that
be
if,
if
we're,
potentially
building
bridges
across
35,
in
addition
to
whatever
we
do
with
the
existing
bridge,
is
that
all
financed
as
one
giant
package
or
we'll
be
applying
to
say
help
us
make
this
trail
connection?
As
part
b
of
this.
H
Chair,
commissioner,
martin,
I
think
that's
very
conceptual
at
this
point.
I
think
what
that
looks
like
it's
unknown.
It
there's
still
life
in
that
bridge.
So
and
but
then
you
weigh
the
costs
of
doing
a
dedicated
trail,
which
I
think
might
not
work,
but
maybe
there's
some
work
that
can
be
done
on
the
bridge
to
accommodate
kind
of
an
on
bridge
trail.
H
So
it's
still
very
high
level,
but
I
think
yeah,
I'm
not
sure,
we'll,
though
where
they
will
go
at
with
that.
But
I
do
know
that
that
bridge
still
has
some
life
in
it.
And
then
maybe
this
study
kind
of
says,
hey.
The
next
bridge
needs
to
have
this
design
feature
to
make
that
work,
because
I
think
there
are
some
some
issues
with
doing
just
a
dedicated
trail
for
one.
H
You
have
to
kind
of
connect
into
a
network,
but
I
think
there's
some
space
issues
as
well,
because
on
the
south
side,
you're
going
to
have
that
the
existing
station,
which
kind
of
puts
constraints
because
we
have
buses
going
through
there
and
then
on
the
north
side.
You
have
that
loop,
the
loop
entrance
ramp,
which
then
you
have
to
design
a
bridge
to
go
over
that.
So
I
envision
any
sort
of
trail
connection
would
be
on
the
existing
bridge
itself
or
kind
of
future
design
to
make
sure
there's
some
sort
of
dedicated
pedestrian
area.
C
H
It
right
and
and
the
494
yeah
there
are
some
constraints
there,
but
they're
able
to
kind
of
build
it
up.
There
is
enough
room
on
both
sides
to
kind
of
do
that
switch
back
up
to
get
to
a
height
above
it,
whereas
I
don't
know
that
we
have
that
room
here
with
just
where
the
entrance
ramps
are
designed
currently,
but
maybe
in
the
future.
There
is
that
opportunity
to
do
that.
So.
E
Share,
commissioner,
this
is
not
so
much
a
question
as
a
comment,
but
getting
back
to
the
old
shock
of
the
old
cedar.
I
go
through
parts
of
both
richfield
and
edina,
frequently
where
they
have
roundabouts,
and
I
would
just
comment
they
seem
to
be
doing
a
pretty
good
job
of
accommodating
pedestrians
and
getting
the
intention
of
drivers.
So
they
stop
when
a
pedestrian
approaches,
and
I
rather
like
them,
because
I
don't
like
to
sit
at
signs,
but
I
think
they've
done
a
pretty
decent
job
with
pedestrian
safety.
A
D
Yes,
I
do
want
to
add
that
mr
palermo
did
mention
the
hra's
involvement
in
98
street
station.
I
just
want
to
remind
the
commissioners
that
that
was
a
application
for
funding
that
the
hra
board
did
approve
and
we
did
receive
to
for
this
study
in
particular,
but
I
also
want
to
just
say
if,
if
mr
roberts,
kirk
roberts
with
engineering
traffic
engineering
has
anything
to
say,
he
is
on
the
webex.
I
A
No
hearing,
none!
Okay!
We
can.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
appreciate
your
time
with
that,
with
no
other
questions
or
comments,
I
would
like
to
move
on
to
discussion.
Item
6.3,
which
is
commissioner
questions
and
answers.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
anything?
We
need
to
be
updated
on
right
now,.
D
I
just
have
one
brief
update
very
brief.
The
last
meeting
council,
our
excuse
me,
commissioner
coulter-
did
mention
about
the
hra
board
legislation
request,
which
was
passed
by
the
house
and
the
senate,
and
the
governor
did
sign
it
into
law
on
the
19th.
A
Wonderful,
what
great
news
thank
you
for
sharing
that
administrator
coleman.
If
there's
no
other
questions
or
comments,
I
would
look
for
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
may
24th
2022
hra
board
meeting
okay.
We
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
thorson
and
a
second
by
commissioner
martin.
Could
we
please
have
call
for
the
vote.
