B
B
C
B
All
right-
let's
see
here
our
final
public
hearing
today-
is
project
approval
and
assessment
for
the
south
minnehaha
residential
street
resurfacing
project.
Mr
jelly,
who
will
be
presenting
on
this
item.
G
Thank
you,
deputy
director
good
afternoon
committee
chair
members
of
the
committee.
I
am
larry
matsumoto,
a
principal
professional
engineer
in
the
transportation
maintenance,
repair
division-
and
I
am
here
today
to
present
to
you,
the
minnehaha
residential
resurfacing
public
hearing
and
to
recommend
passage
of
a
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
and
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
550.
G
The
minnehaha
residential
resurfacing
project
is
a
residential
paving
project
and
is
bounded
by
54th
street
east
and
59th
street
east
and
42nd
avenue
to
46th
avenue
south
these
streets
were
reconstructed
in
1987
and
have
a
pavement
condition
index
of
thirty
nine.
The
project
scope
is
a
two
inch
milling
overlay
with
select
curb
and
gutter
replacement
center
point.
Energy
has
gas
main
replacement
and
324
gas
services
to
upgrade
in
this
project.
G
G
The
purpose
of
asphalt
pavement
resurfacing
program
is
to
extend
the
life
of
city
streets
which
are
not
scheduled
for
any
preventive
maintenance,
renovation
or
reconstruction.
This
resurfacing
program
is
addressing
city
streets,
which
are
at
a
point
in
their
life
cycle,
where
a
new
surface
will
extend
the
streets.
Life
improve
ride
quality
and
that
neighborhood
livability
and
help
slow
the
overall
deterioration
of
our
city
street
system.
This
resurfacing
project
is
identified
in
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan
and
was
included
in
the
2022-26
capital
improvement
program.
G
The
purpose
of
resurfacing
special
assessments
were
determined
by
applying
the
2022
uniform
assessment
rates
to
the
land
area,
benefited
parcels
located
within
street
influence
zone
along
with
along
the
improved
streets.
These
assessments
are
not
calculated
based
on
project
cost
alone.
The
city
uses
a
formula
that
combines
influence
area
with
an
annually
established
uniform
assessment
rate.
This
formula
is
called
carefully
considered
and
applied
by
city
staff
and
is
intended
to
account
for
and
reflect
each
project's
value
to
the
benefited
properties.
G
Individual
assessments
over
150
dollars
will
begin
collection
on
their
2023
real
estate.
Tax
statements
with
interest
charged
at
3.2
percent
and
assessments
of
150
or
less
will
be
collected
in
their
entirety.
In
the
2023
real
estate.
Tax
assessments
with
interest
charged
at
2.3
percent
information
has
been
provided
in
the
notices
as
how
persons
may
prepay
special
assessments
in
the
amount
full
without
any
interest
incurred.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
presentation.
I'm
going
to
proceed
to
open
the
public
hearing
and
ask
staff
to
verify
if
there
are
any
speakers
in
queue
on
this
item
it
looks
like
we
have
tammy
in
the
queue
tammy
when
you're
called
on
right
now
you
can
just
press
star
six
to
unmute
your
phone
and
then
please
wait
a
moment
for
a
recording
message.
So
tammy.
If
you're
there.
B
H
Of
course,
so
I'm
a
new
homeowner,
so
I
have
questions
I
don't
understand.
My
neighbor
is
a
family
member.
We
have
the
exact
same
house,
size,
lot,
size
and
everything.
So
when
I
got
this
paper,
I
was
kind
of
confused
as
to
what
that
meant.
Hers
is
her
assessment.
H
Fee
is
less
than
mine,
and
both
of
ours
are
less
than
the
corner
lot,
which
is
kind
of
confusing,
because
I'm
the
third
house
down
from
the
corner
and
I'm
paying
more
than
both
of
them
combined
for
this,
I
don't
think
that
that's
very
fair
and
I
want
to
know
how
that
happened
and
also
why
the
3.2
interest
charge
on
this.
If
it's
going
to
be
into
my
taxes
for
2023,
that's
a
lot
of
money
for
me,
so
I
I
want
to
know
the
reasonings
why
this
is
a
thing.
B
Thank
you,
tammy.
I
appreciate
your
comments.
We
do
have
your
contact
information
and
I'd
be
happy
to
make
sure
that
we
have
this
down
and
have
somebody
respond
to
your
questions
after
this
meeting
today.
H
B
G
D
B
Eyes
that
carries-
and
this
committee's
recommendation
will
be
forward
to
next
week's
council
meeting
for
final
action.
Our
final
item
item
12
is
a
discussion
item
receiving
and
filing
a
presentation
on
the
b-line
bus,
rapid
transit
project
in
lake
street
and
lagoon
avenue
improvements.
Mr
jelly,
who
will
be
presenting
on
this
item.
I
Good
afternoon,
thank
you,
deputy
director
jelly
vice
chair
koski
and
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
yasna
hodge
stanik,
a
transportation
planner
with
transportation
planning
and
programming
and
public
works,
and
I'm
honored
to
be
here
today
to
present
on
two
separate
yet
adjoining
efforts:
the
upcoming
metro,
beeline
bus,
rapid
transit
route
and
the
lake
street
and
lagoon
avenue
multimodal
improvements
next
slide.
Please.
I
I
Before
we
get
into
the
lake
street
improvements,
I
want
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
metro,
beeline
brt
project,
which
is
serving
as
the
catalyst
for
broader
lake
street
improvements
planning
for
the
brt
has
been
underway
for
several
years
now.
Several
years
now
and
it
started
in
2019,
the
draft
quarter
plans
were
released
in
2021,
with
ample
public
engagement
led
by
metro
transit.
I
Hundreds
of
comments
were
received
and
incorporated
into
the
planning
process,
and
a
final
quarter
plan
was
adopted
at
the
end
of
2021
by
the
med
council.
Currently,
the
project
team
is
well
underway
for
the
design
and
engineering
of
the
b-line
and
the
construction
is
set
to
start
next
year
with
the
anticipated
opening
date
in
2024
next
slide.
Please.
I
I
I
I
I
So
how
will
metro
transit
achieve
the
20
goal
and,
for
first
item
is
really
looking
at
the
consolidated
stops,
so
the
b
line
is
planned
to
stop
at
33
locations
along
the
route,
16
of
which
will
be
in
minneapolis
along
lake
street.
In
addition
to
the
consolidated
stops,
metro
transit
will
implement
pre-boarding
payment,
as
well
as
curb
extensions,
which
will
make
it
easier
to
board
the
buses
and
transit
signal
priority.
I
I
Subwaying
now
into
lake
street
and
lagoon
avenue
improvements
before
I
dive
into
the
staff
recommendations
for
the
corridor,
I
want
to
provide
a
snapshot
snapshot
of
lake
street
as
it
exists
today.
As
we
all
know,
this
corridor
is
of
much
cultural
significance,
not
just
in
our
city,
but
the
county
lake
street,
also
known
as
county
road
3,
is
a
major,
east-west
thoroughfare,
connecting
our
city
to
the
chain
of
lakes
to
the
west,
to
the
mississippi
river
to
the
east.
I
The
street
is
owned
and
operated
by
hennepin
county,
but
minneapolis
manages
the
traffic
signals,
which
is
really
what
makes
this
interagency
coordination
essential.
What
we
know
looking
at
data
is
that
outside
of
downtown
it
has
some
of
the
heaviest
pedestrian
crossing
counts,
observed
within
hennepin
county.
I
However,
it
is
also
the
highest
crash
corridor
in
minneapolis
and
all
of
hennepin
county
and
is
identified
as
a
high
injury
street
in
our
city's
vision,
zero
action
plan.
Some
of
you
may
remember
that
the
street
was
last
reconstructed
15
years
ago
from
dupont
avenue
to
the
river,
so
currently
all
assets
on
it
are
in
good
condition.
I
I
So
we
first
started
by
looking
at
several
different
concepts
of
how
we
can
reconfigure
lake
street
to
meet
the
goals
I
I
outlined.
So
we
what
we
ended
up
doing
was.
First,
we
looked
at
our
current
agency
plans
and
policies
such
as
our
recently
adopted
transportation
action
plan,
hennepin
county's
climate
action
plan
and
both
of
our
agencies
complete
streets
policies.
I
We
also
had
a
number
of
extensive
recent
stakeholder
feedback
that
we
could
start
from
and
build
from
including
metro
transit's
bee
line
outreach,
as
well
as
the
feedback
that
we
gathered
during
our
transportation
action
plan
development.
In
addition
to
this,
we
did
a
number
of
traffic
and
transit
modeling
with
a
consultant
to
really
inform
our
striping
plans.
And,
last
but
not
least,
we
did
had
to
rely
on
staff,
experience
and
expertise
to
balance
out
the
various
priorities
and
trade-offs
within
this
very
constrained
environment.
I
So
recognizing
that
this
is
not
a
full
reconstruction
project.
Our
improvements
are
mainly
limited
to
between
the
curbs
and
they
include
the
following:
restriping
of
the
entire
corridor,
as
well
as
new
pavement
signal
modifications,
ada
ramp
upgrades
curb
bump
outs
in
locations
where
they
don't
exist.
Today,
green
infrastructure,
wherever
possible
and
dedicated
bus
lanes
next
slide,
please
another
piece
of
directive
that
we
took
very
seriously
and
looked
at
was
the
staff
direction
that
we
received
at
last
year's
minneapolis
transportation
and
public
works
committee.

This
three-lane
design
would
also
be
accompanied
by
a
single
bus
lane
for
majority
of
the
corridor.
The
bus
lane
would
be
a
27
hour,
seven
days
a
week,
bus
lane
outside
of
the
station
platform
locations.
We
plan
a
very
minimal
impacts
to
parking
sidewalks
and
existing
curb
bump
routes.
Next
slide,
please.
I

I
Next
slide,
please
traveling
along
the
one-way
pairs
along
lake
and
lagoon
to
hennepin
avenue
where
we
have
another
city-led
project.
We
are
recommending.
The
bus
lanes
continue
in
both
directions
through
the
one-way
pairs,
because
this
segment
was
not
reconstructed
15
years
ago
we
are
recommending
to
also
install
curb
bump
outs
or
extensions
in
this
segment
to
minimize
pedestrian
crossing
distances.
I
I
I
I
We
are
now
looking
at
the
recently
completed
and
reconstructed
I-35w
interchange.
I
We
plan
for
minimal
changes
in
this
reconstructed
segment
beyond
re-striping
to
include
bi-directional
bus
lanes,
because
this
is
where
we
start
to
see
the
transit
service
where
it
does
start
to
slow
down
within
this
area.
I
Next
slide,
please
similar
to
the
lindelon
lake
intersection.
The
cedar
avenue
intersection
also
presents
unique
challenges
with
traffic
capacity
constraints
and
a
need
for
safety
and
pedestrian
improvements.
We
again
are
recommending
a
similar,
similar
restriping
concept
to
lindale
to
have
dedicated
left
turn
lanes.
I
Slide
please,
and
last
but
not
least,
the
segment
east
of
the
planned
hiawatha
and
lake
interchange
reconstruction
project,
which
is
coming
in
2024
and
east
of
minnehaha,
where
we
have
traffic
volumes
drop
slightly
from
the
rest
of
the
corridor.
We
are
recommending
a
continuous
three-lane
segment
with
a
westbound
bus
lane.
Again
there
would
be
minimal
impacts
to
parking
which
is
nestled
between
the
existing
curb
extensions.
I
Next
slide,
please,
in
terms
of
the
engagement
we've
incorporated
into
the
recommended
concept.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
know
that
we
were
not
starting
from
scratch.
There's
already
been
a
lot
of
great
engagement
done
on
the
metro
b
line,
as
well
as
the
city's
transportation
action
plan,
vision,
zero
and
minneapolis
2040..
I
In
addition
to
this,
previous
engagement,
we've
also
been
doing
some
engagement
to.
Let
folks
know
that
these
changes
are
coming
so
that
included
briefings
with
our
council
members
mayor's
office
office
and
hennepin
county
commissioners.
We
also
attended
standing
agency
committee
meetings,
including
the
pedestrian
and
bicycle
advisory
committee
and
hennepin
county
active
transportation
committee.
I
Next
slide,
please,
in
terms
of
the
feedback
that
we
are
hearing.
There
is
an
overall
support
for
the
proposed
concept
and
an
indication
that
this
is
heading
in
the
right
direction
of
doing
this
major
four
to
three
lane.
Conversion
to
improve
safety
folks
have
expressed
a
desire
for
additional
transit
advantages,
including
bus,
only
lanes
in
both
directions,
as
well
as
at
our
high
capacity
intersections
of
glendale,
bloomington
and
cedar.
I
We've
also
heard
a
desire
to
reallocate
public
right-of-way
space
for
protected
bicycle
facilities
and
additional
bus
only
lanes.
There
is
some
concern
about
how
the
bus
only
lane
will
be
regulated
and
enforced,
and
then
also
we've
heard
that
people
want
to
see
more
pedestrian
improvements,
west
west
of
dupont
avenue.
I
Last
but
not
least,
we
heard
from
the
business
community
that
they
would
like
to
see
minimal
impacts
to
the
businesses
along
the
corridor
during
the
implementation
and
final
outcomes
of
the
project,
meaning
they
would
like
to
maintain
the
existing
curb
use
and
allocation
as
it
is
today.
Next
slide,
please.
I
As
far
as
next
steps
staff
are
currently
working
to
finalize
all
of
our
additional
school
scope
recommendations
and
we
are
going
to
integrate
this
into
the
metro,
transit
design
and
engineering
process.
So
we
can
be
on
the
same
schedule.
There
will
be
two
additional
items
which
will
be
brought
through
through
this
committee,
including
agency
agreements
with
metro,
transit
and
hennepin
county,
and,
while
funding
to
design
these
additional
improvements
has
been
secured,
funding
to
implement
the
improvements
continues
to
be
explored
next
slide.
I
B
I
am
not
seeing
any
questions
or
comments
from
committee
members
and
without
any
objection
I
will
direct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
the
report.
B
With
that,
thank
you
so
much
everybody
for
being
here
today.
We've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee.
Without
objection
we
stand
adjourned.
Thank
you
and
have
a
wonderful
afternoon.
