PUBLIC HEARING A. Snap Fitness Extended Hours Conditional Use Permit Chair Kurtz opened the public hearing. Associate Planner Stroeing provided a brief presentation. Chair Kurtz asked if the CVS there previously was open 24 hours. Associate Planner Stroeing stated that no approved CUPs were found for the CVS so it does not appear that they were open 24 hours at any time. Commissioner Scanlan asked what Kwik Trip’s hours were. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 2025 Page 2 of 8 Associate Planner Stroeing stated that their CUP allows them to be open 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Commissioner Scanlan asked if Kwik Trip has had any comments regarding the request. Associate Planner Stroeing stated that no public comments have been received. Commissioner Scanlan asked if the property was designed to have an outlot. Associate Planner Stroeing stated that the site to the west was intended to have two multi-tenant strip centers which did not develop. There has been no correspondence currently for any further development on that land besides the existing parking lot. Commissioner Sandahl asked what the City defines as “normal hours of operation”. Associate Planner Stroeing stated that the City Code does not define this but generally speaking it would be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Commissioner Sandahl opined that the conditions should have the hours of operation defined. Commissioner Hlas asked if the parking lot lighting is included in the “nonessential lighting” noted in the conditions. Associate Planner Stroeing said that the parking lot lights can stay on as they are used for security and are defined as essential lighting. Commissioner Scanlan stated his concerns for allowing the 24-hour operation and that other businesses in the area could come forward with the same request. Commissioner Scanlan stated that the hours of operation that Kwik Trip has currently may be a better resolution. Chair Kurtz asked if the project would still move forward if the 24-hour operation is denied or would they look for a new location. Associate Planner Stroeing deferred to the applicant but stated that the 24-hour operation is Snap Fitness’ standard business model. There are a couple of other fitness centers in Apple Valley operating 24 hours though one is across Cedar Avenue from a townhouse development and the other is in a commercial area. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 2025 Page 3 of 8 Commissioner Mahowald asked what the staffed hours for the facility would be as the email included in the staff report states that deliveries will occur during staffed hours. Associate Planner Stroeing deferred to the applicant but stated that deliveries typically occur around 10:00 a.m. Commissioner Mahowald noted that the same email states that there are typically less than 25 people who use the facility from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. Is that total over that period? Associate Planner Stroeing said it is likely total but that the applicant can expand further. The applicant, Geoff Wyatt, stated that they are moving from their current location in Rosemount and abuts a residential area. They were open 24 hours at that location too. The referenced 25 people using the facility would be total from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., with the majority of that being in the 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. timeframe. The staffed hours are 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. The facility receives only one delivery every two weeks. Mr. Wyatt noted that the parking lot lighting has been off since the building has been vacant and there have been several instances of loitering and illegal dumping so the lights have been turned back on to deter. The facility plans to also have surveillance cameras. There are no plans to develop the land west of the site. Mr. Wyatt also stated that there is a privacy fence running along the west side of the site presumably to block some lighting to the residential area. Commissioner Scanlan stated that while there are no plans for further develop the outlot, eventually someone will want to build something on it. Mr. Wyatt stated that the City’s setbacks would deter any meaningful development on that land. Residents Steve Mohs (15076 Dunwood Trl.) and Renee Kubes (15088 Dunwood Trl.) stated their opposition to the CUP due to concerns with lighting and noise disruptions to the neighboring residential development. Mr. Mohs and Ms. Kubes stated that the privacy fence does not adequately block lighting. They also shared concerns over people using the gym who are not members. Chair Kurtz asked if the applicant could replace the fence with a vinyl one. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 2025 Page 4 of 8 Mr. Wyatt stated that he is not the property owner but would be willing to do what is in his control. Regarding the concern of non-members using the gym, Mr. Wyatt said they will be deploying an AI system within the facility which will alert staff of non-members using the gym. He also stated that they are planning to change the color temperature of the bulb lighting to be less intrusive and more muted. Chair Kurtz asked if it would be possible to put signs asking people to park on the north side of the site to limit any noise concerns. Mr. Wyatt said they would be open to that. Commissioner Mahowald added that another option would be to zone the parking lot lights so that only the north side of the lot is lit overnight. Mr. Wyatt stated that it is possible, though the trash enclosure is located on the south side of the lot and there would likely be more dumping if there is no lighting. Commissioner Mahowald asked if there are any code prohibitions to the lighting staying on overnight. Associate Planner Stroeing stated that there is no shutoff requirement in code. There are only provisions regarding where it is casted and the number of foot candles. Chair Kurtz asked if there are any Snap Fitness locations nearby which are not 24 hours and asked about any snow plowing considerations. Mr. Wyatt stated there are none that are not open 24 hours. They would be amenable to any noise considerations regarding snow plowing and could add provisions regarding hours of operation for their landscaping company. Commissioner Scanlan asked for clarification on signage. Associate Planner Stroeing stated that there is a free-standing sign located in the northeast corner of the site and a sign permit has been submitted for signage to be placed on the north and west building faces. Commissioner Scanlan opined that a formal lighting plan may be beneficial prior to the Commission making any recommendations. Commissioner Schindler stated he did not see any issue with the 24 hours of operation but did have some concerns about lighting. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 2025 Page 5 of 8 City Planner Dill advised the Commission that on a business site, they are allowed to have lighting on 24 hours a day for security purposes and limiting their lighting could have negative effects. Chair Kurtz asked for confirmation that the lighting is already on 24 hours a day and no additional lighting is proposed. City Planner Dill stated that is correct. Commissioner Hlas agreed with Commissioner Scanlan on seeing a lighting plan. Chair Kurtz disagreed as the lighting is not changing and is already on the site. Commissioner Sandahl also disagreed with requiring a lighting plan as there are no issues with the current lighting and the applicant is willing to work with the City on getting less lighting where possible. Commissioner Schindler stated that the lights are on 24 hours regardless and is not a factor. Chair Kurtz asked for details on the interior lighting. Mr. Wyatt clarified on the signage, that there will be no sign on the west side of the building, only on the north side and on the east towards Kwik Trip. Regarding interior lighting, there are no windows on the south side of the property, one window is going to be boarded up and the rest are for private offices which are used during normal business hours. Resident Mr. Mohs stated that the top of the building is glass and lighting is visible through those upper windows. Chair Kurtz asked if glass at the top of the building could be boarded up so that none shines through. Mr. Wyatt stated that there is no glass that exceeds the height of 12’ in that building. He said that the resident is likely referring to the crown lighting and this can be controlled independently of the parking lot lights. One issue to note is that the parking lot lights are set further back from the building to account for some of the downward crown lighting. With no further comments, Chair Kurtz closed the public hearing. CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 2025 Page 6 of 8 MOTION: Commissioner Sandahl moved, seconded by Commissioner Mahowald, to recommend approval of a conditional use permit to allow 24-hour operation of a Snap Fitness facility at 15115 Dove Trail subject to conditions 1 through 4 with the condition 1 reading “Deliveries and loading associated with the operations of Snap Fitness shall be done during normal hours of operation during 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.” and condition 2 reading “All nonessential exterior lighting shall be turned off after normal hours of operation at 10:30 p.m.” Roll call vote: Ayes – 5 – Nays – 1 (Scanlan). B. Village of Founders Circle 3rd Addition - Picklehall Chair Kurtz opened the public hearing. City Planner Dill provided a brief presentation. Commissioner Scanlan asked if there are any parking concerns with the dealership. City Planner Dill stated that the two uses will utilize the lots at different times. There are no parking issues anticipated by City staff. The applicants, Randy Motilall and Nate Golin, were present for questions. Chair Kurtz asked if there are any other locations. Mr. Motilall stated that this is a standalone business but there are similar facilities around the Twin Cities. Mainly in northern Minneapolis. Commissioner Sandahl commended the architecture involved. Commissioner Scanlan stated that the project seems to be a good fit for the location and asked what the timeframe for opening is. Mr. Motilall stated that they are hoping to be operational by December. Commissioner Schindler asked if there was space for viewing the games. Mr. Golin stated that there will be an overlook balcony for viewing as well as a large window in the food hall.

Jodi Kurtz, Chair ITEM: 4.A. MEETING DATE: July 16, 2025 SECTION: Public Hearings Description: Valley Station Apartments - PC25-13BGZ Consider Planned Development Amendments & Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization to allow construction of 148-unit apartment building. LOCATION: 15584 Gaslight Drive PETITIONER: Real Estate Equities Staff Contact: Terri Dill, City Planner Department / Division: Community Development Action Requested: Open the public hearing, receive comments, and close the public hearing. It is the policy of the Planning Commission not to act on an item on the night of the public hearing. Summary: The applicant, Real Estate Equities, requests amendments to Appendix F, Article 18, Planned Development No. 507, and Site Plan/Building Permit Authorization to allow construction of Valley Station Apartments, a 148-unit apartment development on Lot 1, Block 2, Carroll Center 4th Addition. The 3.10-acre parcel is located at the southeast corner of 155th Street West and Gaslight Drive. Surrounding land uses include the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority transit station to the north, the Floor and Décor building and parking lot to the west, Orchard Square Apartments to the south, and Chasewood Family Townhomes to the east. Background: The subject property is currently guided SIHD – Suburban Intensive High Density, which allows densities of 24 to 48 units per acre on sites that are exclusively for residential uses located adjacent to the transit station. The proposed development has a net density of 47.7 units per acre, which aligns with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The parcel is currently zoned PD-507/Zone 2 (Planned Development). Multiple family is a permitted use within this district; however, the following planned development district amendments are being requested to PD 507 Subzone 2: 1. Reduce the setback required along a neighborhood collector street from 40 feet to 25 feet. 2. Increase the maximum units per acre from 16 to 48. 3. Reduce the minimum square footage of land required per unit from 2,760 square feet to 916 square feet. 4. Allow coverage to increase from 20% to 30% of the lot. 5. Increase the maximum number of stories from three stories to five stories and the maximum height from 45 feet to 60 feet. 6. Eliminate the minimum one to three roof pitch requirement to allow for a flat roof. Site Plan The proposed site plan includes a five-story workforce apartment building with 148 dwelling units. The project will provide community amenities for the residents, including a clubroom, outdoor patio/grilling area, fitness center, bike storage, electric car chargers, dog run, and playground. The proposed building will be 263,232 square feet and will have the front main entrance facing east. Underground parking stalls are provided and are separated into three separate garage areas. The north garage is accessed in the front corner of the building, and the two south garages (not connected internally due to grades) are accessed via an entrance that faces east and an entrance from Gaslight Drive driveway access. The proposed units range from one to three-bedroom apartments, with the total of each type shown below: UNIT TYPE NUMBER OF UNITS ANTICIPATED RENTS 1 Bedroom 37 $1,406 2-Bedroom 74 $1,684 3-Bedroom 37 $1,941 The apartments will serve households with incomes at 60% area median income (AMI), which is calculated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Below are the maximum income restrictions: HOUSEHOLD SIZE INCOME RESTRICTIONS 1-Person Household $55,620 2-Person Household $63,600 3-Person Household $71,520 4-Person Household $79,440 The site provides a 30-foot setback from Gaslight Drive, a 15-foot setback on the south property line, and a 25-foot setback along 155th Street. The nearest adjacent dwelling unit is located approximately 95 feet from the proposed apartment building. The site will gain access from 155th Street and Gaslight Drive. The driveway access from Gaslight Drive will extend under the building, with three floors located above. Proposed parking includes a total of 240 parking spaces provided, consisting of 162 underground garage stalls and 78 surface parking spaces, which provides a parking ratio of 1.61 stalls per unit. Each apartment includes one garage stall at no additional charge. The adjacent streets are both signed for no parking; however, it was recently discovered that in 2004, a City Council resolution ordered the removal of no parking signs for a short segment on 155th Street due to insufficient parking for transit users. A resolution will be presented to the City Council that will reinstate no parking. Given the mix of apartment units proposed, staff has requested that the applicant submit a parking study memo that will further evaluate parking needs. This study will be presented at the next meeting when the Planning Commission considers this development request. Staff will not make a recommendation on this proposal until the parking memo has been reviewed and approved. Landscape Plan A variety of landscape plantings are shown on the landscape plan, including trees along the west and south property lines, foundation plantings, and parking lot islands. A six-foot vinyl fence is proposed along the east property line with plantings to provide screening from adjacent rental townhomes. Black ornamental fencing is also used within the interior site to enclose the tot lot, dog run, and outdoor patio area, as well as placement along the retaining walls to provide a safety barrier. A final landscape plan must be submitted for City staff review and approval before a building permit can be issued. The applicant will need to meet the landscape requirements outlined in the Zoning Code, which requires landscape improvements equal to 2.5% of the estimated building construction costs. Pedestrian Access Currently, sidewalk runs along the south side of 155th Street and the east side of Gaslight Drive. The site plan shows sidewalk connections at building exits on the north and west sides of the building. An internal sidewalk runs in front of the building and extends north along the parking lot to a building exit; staff recommend this sidewalk continue north to connect to the sidewalk along 155th Street. The City is reviewing potential pedestrian crossing improvements that the developer will be required to provide to ensure a safe pedestrian crossing on 155th Street at Gaslight Drive, facilitating access to the MVTA Station. Additionally, lighting improvements along 155th Street and Gaslight Drive will also be required to ensure safe pedestrian walkways are available during evening hours. A photometric plan of the site has been requested to ensure on-site lighting levels are sufficient for multi-family development without creating light spill issues for adjacent properties. Architecture The proposed building incorporates architectural features that are compatible with the surrounding area and provides visual relief, including both horizontal and vertical elements. Exterior building materials include stone veneer/cultured stone, with secondary materials being cement fiber (James Hardie) siding and decorative rockface concrete masonry unit (CMU). Building colors feature a natural earth-tone palette of cream and white hues towards the upper portion of building to minimize height, and the palette is complemented by contrasting darker bronze/gray tones. Final plans will need to include parapet walls to completely screen all rooftop units from the public view. Budget Impact: Park dedication will be required as part of the development agreement and is determined based upon the parkland demand created by the use, as it relates to the generation of person-residents. The amount of parkland required for each person-resident is based on the need for parkland to achieve the park services standard, which the City has set through its historic parkland development. The City standard is 0.00955 acre of parkland area needed for each person-resident. Where cash-in-lieu of land is taken, the value of the land shall be based on the benchmark values of raw land that are set by the City Council based on periodic review of market conditions. Present benchmark values per the 2025 Fee Schedule equate to $3,982.00 per apartment unit. Attachments: 1. Site Location 2. Zoning Map 3. Ordinance 4. Resolution 5. Correspondence 6.

MEETING DATE: July 16, 2025 SECTION: Other Business Description: 2025 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update Staff Contact: Evan Acosta, Assistant City Engineer Department / Division: Community Development Action Requested: No official action is requested. Staff and the consultant team wish to present the draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan to the Planning Commission to receive input and discuss preliminary findings. Summary: Attached is a draft of the 2025 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update for the Planning Commission’s review and comments. The Apple Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan serves as a guide for the city to continue to enhance mobility, safety, health, and quality of life for its residents. The City of Apple Valley received a grant through the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP), from the Minnesota Department of Health and Dakota County, to develop this plan for biking and walking improvements in the community. Completed as an update to the 2010 Bike Walk Apple Valley plan, this new plan guides decision-making and prioritization for future investments in the bike and pedestrian system, provides a foundation for funding solicitation, and helps to foster a more bikeable and walkable Apple Valley. Background: The planning process for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update began in December 2024, and the plan document is now in a draft stage and ready for review and feedback from the Planning Commission. Key steps in the planning process included community outreach and engagement to determine the needs and desires of city residents; inventory and evaluation of the existing pedestrian and bicycle system; and development of best practices and recommendations for projects and policies to advance a connected and equitable walking and biking system. Community engagement activities included outreach at local events, an online survey, and a dedicated Task Force created to provide input and direction on the plan’s recommendations. Community input identified the desire for consistent, connected, well-maintained off-road facilities throughout the entire community, especially in areas where there are schools and retail areas. Safe roadway crossings were also frequently mentioned throughout the engagement process. Community residents generally expressed appreciation of the off-road trails in the city, but also frequently mentioned a desire for safer road crossings of busy arterial roads, such as 140th Street, Cedar Avenue, and McAndrews Road. Several groups and individuals participated in the project. A task force was formed consisting of members from Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, Traffic Safety Advisory Committee, ISD 196, Dakota County, Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce, Police, Fire, Planning, Parks, and Public Works staff. Several existing planning documents support the development and completion of the city’s bicycle and pedestrian network. The City’s Comprehensive Plan recommends: focusing on the pedestrian and bicycle needs during the development of roadway improvement projects; continuing to connect gaps in the sidewalk and trail networks; and working with Dakota County to continue to build the North Creek Greenway in accordance with the approved Master Plan. Dakota County’s 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Study identifies county pedestrian network gaps along County Roads 38, 42, 31, and 33. More than 60 miles of paved trails and 153 miles of sidewalks provide many opportunities for residents to bike and walk around town. However, there are no on-road bike lanes in the city, and there is a lack of bike infrastructure in the city’s downtown and along the Ring Route. Analysis of the MPCA Environmental Justice Areas, the RBTN network, land use and destinations (including schools, parks, and retail areas), transit stops and stations, major road barriers, major intersections, and trail and sidewalk gaps inform the recommendations in the plan. The guiding principles were updated from the 2010 Bike Walk Apple Valley Plan based on feedback from the Task Force and community engagement. 1. Reduce barriers to walking and biking. 1. Create a bicycle and pedestrian system that works for all ages and abilities. 2. Ensure that key destinations are accessible from residential areas by biking and walking. 3. Increase features that address safety and comfort for biking and walking. 4. Ensure new development and redevelopment projects integrate walking and bicycling facilities. 2. Encourage alternative modes of transportation. 1. Build places in the city where different modes of transportation connect. 3. Enhance trails and sidewalks in the community with elements that aid in navigation, foster community, and establish a sense of place. 4. Maintain a safe and functional network of nonmotorized transportation in Apple Valley. Best practices offer practical solutions and methods to implement the ideas outlined in the Guiding Principles. They include ways the city can plan for everyone in the community, regardless of age or ability; appropriate roadway treatments to support bicycling and walking; road crossing treatments; and trail design and maintenance. Several policy and city-wide recommendations describe the need for a complete streets policy and other policies to support development of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, upgrading of trail crossings, the development of a hierarchy of trail loops in the city, enhancement of the trail system with signage and wayfinding, and the promotion and facilitation of programs and events that encourage biking and walking. Priority trail gap and road crossing improvement projects listed in the plan include building of trails along 140th Street, McAndrews Road/CR38, and pedestrian crossing upgrades of Cedar Avenue, 140th Street, and 150th Street/CR42. It is recommended that the city explore safety upgrades to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure within the Ring Route, in particular. Budget Impact: N/A Attachments: 1.

LIVABILITY & MOBILITY Walkable and bikeable communities provide more options for aging in place and moving around a community than communities designed for primarily vehicle movement. HEALTH Biking and walking are simple forms of active living that allow people to lead healthier lives. Walking and biking provide more face-to-face community interaction and enhance social experiences. HOUSEHOLD & COMMUNITY PROSPERITY Bicycling and walking are less expensive than driving, take up less space on roads, and require less area to park at destinations. AIR QUALITY Fewer vehicles on the road leads to better air quality and higher quality of life for community residents. RECREATION Walking and biking are often cited as the most frequent forms of recreation in community surveys, and trails are often the top-desired recreation facility. SUSTAINABLE & EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS Bikes and feet create less wear and tear on roads and trails than motor vehicles; long-term this costs taxpayers less money for maintenance and repair. REGIONAL ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS Bikeable and walkable areas tend to attract residents and tourists to communities, which increases the local tax base.

SHIP priority populations are defined as people 60 or older, children, and people with low incomes or others experiencing a health disparity. Outreach methods included: • Paper, mailings, and flyers -Project information posted in the city newsletter -Project flyers posted at transit stops and other community destinations • Online outreach -Information and survey link on city website • In-person outreach -Pop up meeting booth hosted at Midwinter Festival -Pop up meeting booth hosted at the spring Home and Garden Show -Task Force meetings The individual components of the public engagement process are described in the following pages. ONLINE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY MONKEY An online survey was conducted using a tool called Survey Monkey. The survey was open from mid February until the end of April, and was advertised on fliers and handouts throughout the project process. In total, the survey received 127 responses. The survey page also linked to a Social Pinpoint site where users could provide map-based comments. SOCIAL PINPOINT Social Pinpoint is an interactive map-based online engagement tool that allows community members to leave comments on specific areas of the city via a map. The Social Pinpoint map received 14 location specific comments.

Staff set up several display boards and spoke with attendees about their experiences walking, biking, and rolling in the city. In total, staff spoke with around 30 community members and directed them to the project survey and Social Pinpoint site. HOME AND GARDEN SHOW The Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce held their annual Home and Garden Show at Eastview High School on April 12, 2025. Chamber members provided flyers with links to the survey and Social Pinpoint site in the bag of each attendee. TASK FORCE In addition to wider public engagement efforts, City staff assembled a Task Force to guide the completion of the plan update. The Task Force was made up of members of the public, City Staff (including members of the Planning Department, Public Works Department, Communications Department, Fire Department, and Police Departments), member of Planning Commission, a Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee member, members of the Chamber of Commerce, a representative from the 196 Independent School District, and representatives from Dakota County. The role of the Task Force was: • Represent groups of people that reflect the community • Community outreach of the plan in general by distributing materials and spreading the word of the planning process • Guide the plan and implement update in accordance with the mission statement The Task Force met four times and discussed relevant themes and topics that are included in this plan update. E-bikes, on road bike lanes, and traffic safety were the most frequent topics of discussion. SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY INPUT Community input identified the desire for consistent, connected, well-maintained off-road facilities throughout the entire community, especially in areas where there are schools and retail areas. Safe roadway crossings were also frequently mentioned throughout the engagement process. Community residents generally expressed appreciation of the off-road trails in the city, but also frequently mentioned a desire for safer road crossings of busy arterial roads, such as 140th Street, Cedar Avenue, and McAndrews Road. 8 BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN | APPLE VALLEY, MN SURVEY MONKEY RESULTS Demographics What is your age?01 75+ 65-74 55-64 45-54 35-44 25-34 18-24 17 or Under4% 18% 22% 13% 21% 16% 6% How do you identify?02 Male Female Other Prefer notto say 50% 44% 2% 4% Do you experience disabilities that aect your comfort with walking or biking?03 Yes, I use a mobility aid, such as crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair 1%Yes, I’m seeing impaired Yes, I’m hearing impaired Yes, I experience other disabilities not listed above 1% 2% 6% 55%No, I do not experience disabilities that aect my comfort with walking or biking How do you describe your ethnic or cultural heritage?04 05 During the warmer months of the year, how often do you walk or bike for the following reasons? 06 Based on the descriptions above, how would you charac- terize your attitude towards biking?

Commuter E-bike Cruiser E-bike MountainE-bike Road E-bike E-scooter 6% 3% 1% 8%2% “Other” responses included: • None but considering buying a commuter e-bike • Our commuter ebike is for family. (127 responses) (64 responses) More owers, wild owers, or pollinator plant species on the sidewalks of paved bike and walking trails. Just keep clean from debris and tree limbs/branches. Repair the cracks in the sidewalks and widen them. We need sidewalks. I live in the older area of AV, and we don't have them at all. Also, there are parks that would be very usable in winter and after dark, but the trails are unplowed and unlit, making them unusable. More crosswalks would make it easier to get around. I believe there is a lack of understanding of the rules that govern bikes as to where they can use the bike and what rules apply. All stop lights need the voice commands so that I am able to cross the street. Also, the unevenness of the paths can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Bigger shoulders like Eagan and Rosemount. Maintaining the trails is important. Much of Apple Valley is high speed and multiple lanes of trac making it dicult for casual bikers and kids. As it stands, the city has a great network set up. Conditions are perfect. There are ample trails and roads to accomplish what I want to do Much better way-nding signage, not just a city map. Signs along bike routes indicating that's what they are. Bigger shoulders like Eagan and Rosemount. Better management of trac intersections. Crossing any of the busier streets in Apple Valley by foot or bike is treacherous! You take your life into your hands by trying to cross. Reminders below stop signs near bike paths to look for bikes as well as cars. More trails not along the side of a busy road. 11 JULY 2025DRAFT SOCIAL PINPOINT MAP COMMENTS SOCIAL PINPOINT RESULTS COMMENT CATEGORIES: NEW IDEAS WĂƌƟĐŝƉĂŶƚƐƐŚĂƌĞĂŶŝĚĞĂ ƚŚĞǇŚĂǀĞƚŽŝŵƉƌŽǀĞ ǁĂůŬŝŶŐĂŶĚďŝŬŝŶŐŝŶ ƉƉůĞsĂůůĞǇ CONCERN WĂƌƟĐŝƉĂŶƚƐƐŚĂƌĞĂĐŽŶĐĞƌŶ ƚŚĞǇŚĂǀĞĂďƵƚǁĂůŬŝŶŐĂŶĚ ďŝŬŝŶŐŝŶƉƉůĞsĂůůĞǇ GENERAL COMMENTS WĂƌƟĐŝƉĂŶƚƐƐŚĂƌĞĂ ĐŽŵŵĞŶƚĂďŽƵƚǁĂůŬŝŶŐ ĂŶĚďŝŬŝŶŐŝŶƉƉůĞsĂůůĞǇ /ƐƐƵĞŚĞƌĞǁŝƚŚƚƌĂŝůŐĂƉ͕ǁŝƚŚŶŽĐƌŽƐƐŝŶŐ͕ŝĨƌĞƐŝĚĞŶƚƐŽĨƚŚĞŶĞǁŚŽƵƐŝŶŐĚĞǀĞůŽƉŵĞŶƚǁĂŶƚĞĚƚŽǁĂůŬƚŽƚŚĞŶĂƚƵƌĂůŐƌŽĐĞƌǇƐƚŽƌĞǁĞƐƚŽŶϭϰϬƚŚ͕ƚŚĞǇ͛ĚŚĂǀĞƚŽĚĂƌƚĂĐƌŽƐƐϰůĂŶĞƐŽĨƚƌĂĸĐ͕ǁĂůŬǁĞƐƚŽŶƵŶĞǀĞŶŐƌĂƐƐͬŝŶǇĂƌĚƐ͕ŽƌǁĂůŬĂŶĞǆƚƌĂƋƵĂƌƚĞƌŽƌŚĂůĨŵŝůĞĞĂĐŚǁĂǇ͘͘͘ /͛ĚůŝŬĞƚŽƐĞĞŐĂƉƐůŝŬĞƚŚŝƐĐůŽƐĞĚ͘ĚĚĂƉĞĚĞƐƚƌŝĂŶĐƌŽƐƐŝŶŐĂŶĚƐŝĚĞǁĂůŬŽŶƚŚĞƐŽƵƚŚƐŝĚĞŽĨϭϰϬƚŚĨŽƌƐƚƵĚĞŶƚƐǁŚŽƌƵŶďĞƚǁĞĞŶŚŝŐŚƐĐŚŽŽůƐ͘ dŚĞƌĞ͛ƐŶŽĐŽŶŶĞĐƟŶŐƐŝĚĞǁĂůŬ͕ďŝŬĞƚƌĂŝůŽŶƚŚĞǁĞƐƚƐŝĚĞŽĨ:ŽŚŶŶǇĂŬĞĨƌŽŵϭϰϬƚŽƚŚĞƐŽĐĐĞƌͬďĂůůĮĞůĚƐĂƋƵĂƟĐĐĞŶƚĞƌ͕ƉŝĐŬůĞďĂůůĐŽƵƌƚƐ͘͘͘ tĞŵŽǀĞĚŚĞƌĞƚǁŽǇĞĂƌƐĂŐŽĂŶĚƌĞĂůůǇĂƉƉƌĞĐŝĂƚĞƚŚĞƚƌĂŝůƐĂŶĚƐŝĚĞǁĂůŬƐ͕tĞŚĂǀĞƚǁŽǇŽƵŶŐŬŝĚƐĂŶĚĂĚŽŐĂŶĚƵƐĞƚŚĞŵĚĂŝůǇ͘͘͘ ƌŝĐŬƌĞƚĂŝŶŝŶŐǁĂůůŝƐĐƌƵŵďůŝŶŐŽŶƚŽƚŚĞƉĂƚŚ͘tŽƵůĚďĞŐŽŽĚƚŽŐĞƚŝŶƚŽďƵĚŐĞƚƚŽĮǆďĞĨŽƌĞŝƚƚŽƚĂůůǇĨĂůůƐĂƉĂƌƚĂŶĚĐŽƐƚƐĞǀĞŶŵŽƌĞŵŽŶĞǇ͘ sĞƌǇŚĂƌĚƚŽĐƌŽƐƐƚŚŝƐŝŶƚĞƌƐĞĐƟŽŶ͘ ǁĂůŬŝŶŐƉĂƚŚĂƌŽƵŶĚƚŚŝƐƉŽŶĚǁŽƵůĚƉƌŽǀŝĚĞĂŶŝĐĞďĞŶĞĮƚƚŽƉĞŽƉůĞǁŽƌŬŝŶŐŝŶƚŚĞĂƌĞĂǁŚŽůŝŬĞƚŽǁĂůŬŽŶƚŚĞŝƌůƵŶĐŚďƌĞĂŬ͘ ǁĂůŬŝŶŐƉĂƚŚĂƌŽƵŶĚƚŚŝƐƉŽŶĚǁŽƵůĚƉƌŽǀŝĚĞŶŝĐĞĐŽŶŶĞĐƟŽŶƐĨŽƌƉĞŽƉůĞǁŚŽůŝǀĞŶĞĂƌďǇ͘ /ƉƌŽƉŽƐĞĂƚƵŶŶĞůƵŶĚĞƌ,ǁǇϰϮƚŚĂƚǁŽƵůĚĞǆƚĞŶĚƚŚĞĂƌďĂƌĂ^ĂǀĂŶŝĐŚdƌĂŝůĨƌŽŵŝĂŵŽŶĚWĂƚŚůĞŵĞŶƚĂƌǇ^ĐŚŽŽůƐŽƵƚŚƚŚƌŽƵŐŚƚŚĞĐŝƚǇƉĂƌŬ͕ƚŚƌŽƵŐŚƚŚĞƚƵŶŶĞůƐƵŶĚĞƌϭϰϳƚŚ^ƚƌĞĞƚ͕ƉĂƐƚƚŚĞƉŽŶĚ͕ƚŽƚŚĞŶĞǁůǇĐŽŶƐƚƌƵĐƚĞĚƚƵŶŶĞůƵŶĚĞƌ,ǁǇϰϮƚŽĐŽŶŶĞĐƚƚŚĞďŝŬĞƉĂƚŚƚŚĂƚƌƵŶƐƉĂƌĂůůĞůƚŽ,ǁǇϰϮŽŶƚŚĞƐŽƵƚŚƐŝĚĞŽĨƚŚĞƌŽĂĚǁĂǇ͘ *A selection of the comments added to the map are shown on the right N 1 mile 12 BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN | APPLE VALLEY, MN COMMUNITY AREAS OF NEED The map on this page identifies areas of the city that have higher concentrations of people living in poverty overlaid with bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and trail gaps. Areas with a higher concentration of poverty include the northwest side of town where there are several mobile home parks, and the south central side of town where there is more multi-family housing. More emphasis and priority should be placed on providing safe connections from these areas of the city to key destinations within the city, such as retail destinations, transit, and schools.

BIKE WALK APPLE VALLEY 2010 The Apple Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is an update to the Bike Walk Apple Valley plan. The 2010 plan considered the patterns of non-motorized movement in the community, building upon directions of Apple Valley’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan and initiatives focused on principles of active living. The plan focused on the need for providing facilities for non-motorized movement in the city that are: • Legal—facilities conform to the Americans with Disabilities Act, • Safe—facilities should provide safe crossings and connections in addition to the perception of safety to encourage use, • Convenient—in that connections are not only desirable, but also simple and expedient for users, • Advantageous—the sidewalk and trail network needs to be a realistic option for any potential user, and in some cases, may be a more opportune choice for movement. 15 JULY 2025DRAFT 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2020 dŚĞŝƚǇ͛ƐŽŵƉƌĞŚĞŶƐŝǀĞWůĂŶŶŽƚĞƐƚŚĞŝŵƉŽƌƚĂŶĐĞŽĨƉĂƌŬƐ͕ƚƌĂŝůƐ͕ĂŶĚŽƉĞŶƐƉĂĐĞƐǇƐƚĞŵƐ͕ƚŚĞŝƌ ĐŽŶƚƌŝďƵƟŽŶƚŽĞĐŽŶŽŵŝĐǀĂůƵĞ͕ƉƌŽǀŝƐŝŽŶŽĨŚĞĂůƚŚĂŶĚĞŶǀŝƌŽŶŵĞŶƚĂůďĞŶĞĮƚƐ͕ĂŶĚƚŚĞǁĂǇƚŚĞǇ ƐĞƌǀĞĂƐĂƚĂŶŐŝďůĞƌĞŇĞĐƟŽŶŽĨƚŚĞƋƵĂůŝƚǇŽĨůŝĨĞŝŶĂĐŽŵŵƵŶŝƚǇ͘dƌĂŝůƐĂŶĚƐŝĚĞǁĂůŬƐĂƌĞŚŝŐŚůŝŐŚƚĞĚ ŝŶďŽƚŚƚŚĞWĂƌŬƐĂŶĚZĞĐƌĞĂƟŽŶĂŶĚdƌĂŶƐƉŽƌƚĂƟŽŶĐŚĂƉƚĞƌƐŽĨƚŚĞƉůĂŶ͘ Parks and Recreation Chapter ŐƵŝĚŝŶŐƉƌŝŶĐŝƉůĞŽĨƚŚŝƐĐŚĂƉƚĞƌŽĨƚŚĞƉůĂŶ ŝƐ͞ŽŶŶĞĐƟŶŐWĂƌŬƐĂŶĚEĞŝŐŚďŽƌŚŽŽĚƐǁŝƚŚ ^ŝĚĞǁĂůŬƐĂŶĚdƌĂŝůƐ͘͟ dŚĞŽŵƉƌĞŚĞŶƐŝǀĞWůĂŶŶŽƚĞƐƚŚĂƚƐŝĚĞǁĂůŬƐĂŶĚƚƌĂŝůƐ͗ • ůůŽǁƉĞŽƉůĞƚŽŵŽǀĞƐĂĨĞůǇƚŚƌŽƵŐŚŽƵƚƉƉůĞsĂůůĞǇǁŝƚŚŽƵƚĂĐĂƌ • ŽŶŶĞĐƚŶĞŝŐŚďŽƌŚŽŽĚƐǁŝƚŚƉĂƌŬƐ͕ƐĐŚŽŽůƐĂŶĚŽƚŚĞƌĐŽŵŵƵŶŝƚǇĨĂĐŝůŝƟĞƐ • WƌŽŵŽƚĞŚĞĂůƚŚǇĂŶĚĂĐƟǀĞůŝĨĞƐƚǇůĞƐ • ŶĐŽƵƌĂŐĞƐƵƐƚĂŝŶĂďŝůŝƚǇďǇĨĂĐŝůŝƚĂƟŶŐŶŽŶͲǀĞŚŝĐƵůĂƌƚƌĂǀĞů • ^ĞƌǀĞĂǁŝĚĞƌĂŶŐĞŽĨŝŶĚŝǀŝĚƵĂůĂŶĚŚŽƵƐĞŚŽůĚŶĞĞĚƐ • ŽŶƚƌŝďƵƚĞƚŽƚŚĞƐŽĐŝĂůĨĂďƌŝĐĂŶĚĐŚĂƌĂĐƚĞƌŽĨƉƉůĞsĂůůĞǇ • WƌŽǀŝĚĞǇŽƵƚŚǁŝƚŚƚŚĞŵĞĂŶƐĨŽƌŝŶĚĞƉĞŶĚĞŶƚƚƌĂǀĞůĂŶĚĞǆƉůŽƌĂƟŽŶ Transportation Chapter dŚĞƉůĂŶƐƚĂƚĞƐƚŚĂƚƚŚĞŝƚǇǁŝůůŶĞĞĚƚŽĐŽŶƟŶƵĞ ƉƵƌƐƵĞŽƉƉŽƌƚƵŶŝƟĞƐĨŽƌƚƌĂŶƐƉŽƌƚĂƟŽŶƐǇƐƚĞŵ ĞŶŚĂŶĐĞŵĞŶƚƐ͘WŽƚĞŶƟĂůŽƉƉŽƌƚƵŶŝƟĞƐŝĚĞŶƟĮĞĚ ŝŶĐůƵĚĞ͗ • &ŽĐƵƐŝŶŐŽŶƚŚĞƉĞĚĞƐƚƌŝĂŶĂŶĚďŝĐǇĐůĞŶĞĞĚƐĚƵƌŝŶŐƚŚĞĚĞǀĞůŽƉŵĞŶƚŽĨƌŽĂĚǁĂǇŝŵƉƌŽǀĞŵĞŶƚƉƌŽũĞĐƚƐ • ŶƐƵƌŝŶŐĨƵƚƵƌĞĚĞǀĞůŽƉŵĞŶƚĂŶĚƌĞĚĞǀĞůŽƉŵĞŶƚŝŶƚŚĞŝƚǇĂĐĐŽŵŵŽĚĂƚĞƐďŽƚŚƌĞĐƌĞĂƟŽŶĂůĂŶĚĐŽŵŵƵƚĞƌƉĞĚĞƐƚƌŝĂŶĂŶĚďŝĐǇĐůĞƵƐĞ͘dŚĞƌĞŝƐĂŶĞĞĚĨŽƌĞŶŚĂŶĐĞĚĂŵĞŶŝƟĞƐ͕ƐƵĐŚĂƐďŝŬĞƌĂĐŬƐ͕ďŝŬĞůŽĐŬĞƌƐ͕ĂŶĚďŝŬĞůĂŶĞƐĂƚƐŚŽƉƉŝŶŐĂƌĞĂƐĂŶĚƚƌĂŶƐŝƚƐƚĂƟŽŶƐ • ŽŶƟŶƵŝŶŐƚŽĐŽŶŶĞĐƚŐĂƉƐŝŶƚŚĞƐŝĚĞǁĂůŬĂŶĚƚƌĂŝůŶĞƚǁŽƌŬƐ • ŽŶƐƚƌƵĐƟŽŶŽĨƚƌĂŝůƐĂůŽŶŐƚŚĞĨŽůůŽǁŝŶŐƌŽĂĚǁĂǇƐ͗ -^ŽƵƚŚƐŝĚĞŽĨϭϰϬƚŚ^ƚƌĞĞƚĨƌŽŵDĂůĂǆŝĞǀĞŶƵĞƚŽĞĚĂƌǀĞŶƵĞ -^ŽƵƚŚƐŝĚĞŽĨ^,ϯϴ;DĐŶĚƌĞǁƐZŽĂĚͿĨƌŽŵDĂůĂǆŝĞǀĞŶƵĞƚŽDĂƌĚĞŶǀŝĞǁƌŝǀĞ • t ŽƌŬŝŶŐǁŝƚŚĂŬŽƚĂŽƵŶƚǇƚŽĐŽŶƟŶƵĞƚŽďƵŝůĚƚŚĞEŽƌƚŚƌĞĞŬDƌĞĞŶǁĂǇŝŶĂĐĐŽƌĚĂŶĐĞǁŝƚŚƚŚĞĂƉƉƌŽǀĞĚDĂƐƚĞƌWůĂŶ 16 BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN | APPLE VALLEY, MN DAKOTA COUNTY PEDESTRIAN & BICYCLE STUDY 2018 In 2017, Dakota County began a process to create a unified vision for county- wide walking and biking networks, and to identify policies, strategies and tools to encourage active living and improve community health. The study addresses the non-motorized transportation content required for the Dakota County 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and biking and walking recommendations that were included in the Dakota County 2040 Transportation Plan update (2019). This study focuses on infrastructure priorities and supporting strategies and policies for the integration of walking and biking modes into the Dakota County transportation network. In addition, it highlights awareness, education, enforcement, and evaluation efforts that bolster infrastructure investments. The study identifies county pedestrian network gaps along County Roads 38, 42, 31, and 33. DAKOTA COUNTY DAKOTA COUNTY PARKS 2050 VISION PLAN 2025 (In Progress) Dakota county is currently in the process of completing the Parks 2050 Vision Plan. The process is expected to be completed in the summer of 2025. The draft document includes the following: • Response to changing demographic and outdoor recreation trends • Response to critical issues facing society • Establishment of goals for Indigenous engagement and partnership to protect culturally sensitive resources • Evaluation of the potential for new park, greenway, and conservation units • Identification of consistent funding sources and partnerships The plan suggests efforts to expand collaborative greenways and community trail loops in partnership with cities in the county. A park search area is identified that includes the western half of Apple Valley. The plan does not currently identify any new park or greenways in Apple Valley.

Sidewalks are primarily located within residential neighborhoods or commercial shopping areas, parallel to low-volume streets, and along both sides of the street. Sidewalks are generally constructed as concrete pathways. In residential areas, sidewalks are usually between four and six feet wide; in commercial areas and downtowns, sidewalks can be up to twelve feet wide. Sidewalks are intended to support pedestrians in residential neighborhoods and commercial districts. Sidewalks allow people to walk, jog, or roll within neighborhoods and to parks, schools, public facilities, and shopping destinations. As people age, there is increased use of motorized and non-motorized wheelchairs, scooters, and mobility devices on sidewalks. Sidewalks also serve social and recreational functions. Sidewalks that are wide enough for two or more people to walk side-by-side (generally 5-feet wide or wider) promote walking as a social activity and provide a safe place for young children to play near their homes. TRAILS / PATHWAYS There are approximately 60 miles of paved trails in Apple Valley. Paved trails are constructed with either asphalt (bituminous) surface or a concrete surface. These trails are often ADA accessible and usually can accommodate a range of users, from pedestrians and joggers to bicyclists and roller-bladers. These trails may be plowed or groomed in winter, depending on the designated use. Trails in Apple Valley fall into two main categories: park trails and street trails. Park trails are bituminous trails located in parks and open spaces. These trails are connected to adjacent streets and neighborhoods. Trail along the street are 8 feet wide and bituminous. They are constructed along collector streets and county roads. It will continue to be the city’s policy to construct bituminous trails on both sides of all county roads and collector streets, where the terrain and topography permit. Both park and street trails are multi-use and intended to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists. DAKOTA COUNTY GREENWAY NETWORK Dakota County maintains a network of existing and planned regional trails or greenways that offer recreational opportunities for Apple Valley residents as well as provide connections for walking and biking beyond the community’s borders. Dakota County has identified concept alignments for the Dakota County Lebanon Hills to Lake Marion Greenway that would connect Lebanon Hills Regional Park to Murphy Hanrehan Park Reserve, as well as connect to regional trails in Scott County. The North Creek Greenway Trail, which is currently partially built, will eventually connect the Vermillion River in Empire Township to the Minnesota Zoo and Lebanon Hills Regional Park—some existing trails in city parks would be used for portions of the route. BIKE LANES/ ON-ROAD BIKEWAYS Today the City has no designated bicycle lanes. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan notes a recommendation to build enhanced amenities, including bike lanes, in and around shopping areas and transit stations. EXISTING CONDITIONS The characteristics of the existing transportation network and the built environment have a significant impact on how people choose to move through a city. Apple Valley offers a range of circulation options for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. Sidewalk in Downtown Apple ValleyHAWK Signal on Galaxie Ave 21 JULY 2025DRAFT EXISTING TRAILS, SIDEWALKS, AND GREENWAYS N 1 mile 22 BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN | APPLE VALLEY, MN REGIONAL BIKE TRAIL NETWORK (RBTN) The Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) is the official regional bikeway network that sets the region’s priority vision for planning and investment. The network is identified by the Metropolitan Council and was established in 2014 through the Regional Bicycle System Study analysis and prioritization of potential corridors. This analysis was based on factors such as bicycle trip demand, network connectivity, social equity, population and employment density, and connections to transit. The RBTN is shaped by the following goals: • Establish an integrated and seamless network of on-street bikeways and off-road trails • Provide the vision for a “backbone” arterial network to accommodate daily bicycle trips by connecting regional destinations and local bicycle networks • Encourage cities, counties, parks agencies, and the state to plan and implement future bikeways in support of the network vision In support of these overall goals, cities and counties are encouraged to plan and implement the network and its connections to local bikeway networks through local bicycle, transportation and/or comprehensive plans. The RBTN passes through Apple Valley in several places. Alignments are defined where there are existing or planned bikeways, or in the absence of these, a consensus of which road or roadways would most efficiently meet the regional corridor’s intent. The Metropolitan Council Tier 1 RBTN Alignments go mostly north to south in the city (along Johnny Cake Ridge Road to Flagstaff and along a portion of Pilot Knob Road). Metropolitan Council Tier 2 RBTN Alignments pass mostly east to west through the city (along McAndrews Road and 150th Street). There are two Tier 2 Regional Bicycle Transportation Corridors that pass through Apple Valley. The corridors are established where there is existing or potentially high bicycle trip demand between regional destinations and activity centers and also connecting to moderate-to-higher density local neighborhoods or commercial areas. Corridors reflect where alignments have not yet been identified; the presence of corridors allow for local planning processes to determine the most appropriate alignment.

In general, locations that have the highest frequency use, such as schools and transit related destinations, should be the highest priority. For schools and transit planning purposes generally ½-mile is considered the primary walk or bike radius.

There are two areas in the city currently prioritized for development and/or redevelopment, the Fischer Sand and Gravel Mining Area and Downtown, which represent the largest opportunities for infill development and redevelopment and are the core areas for commerce and job development. As these areas develop and redevelop, there should be a focus on place-making and intentional prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and amenities. In many locations in the business district, fencing, snow storage, and landscaping make it difficult to travel from the curb to the front door of a business. These barriers actively discourage walking and biking to these areas. Improving and increasing connections between sidewalks, trails, and businesses; along with adding amenities such as lighting, benches, bike racks, and bike fix-it stations will help encourage bicycling and walking in these areas.

The MVTA is an independent transportation agency for the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, and Savage, and was formed under state legislation to allow outer-ring suburbs to “opt-out” of centrally provided transportation services. The MVTA operates peak express service to downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, as well as local crosstown service and reverse commute express bus services. MVTA also operates the METRO Red Line Bus Rapid Transit service. MVTA currently operates several bus routes along Apple Valley’s principal and minor arterial routes. Current routes include 420 Local Flex Route, 440 and 442 Local Route, 475-476-477-478-479 Minneapolis Express, and 480 St. Paul Express Route. Bus service is more frequent during the a.m. and p.m. peak commute times, with only a few Express Routes offering trips in the middle of the day. For those commuters living near a transit station, or for those with a destination near a station, being able to walk or bike as a part of their commuting trip is important. Connecting trails and sidewalks to transit stations makes transit use accessible and feasible. Most transit riders walk at some point to or from transit. Some transit riders connect by bicycle. According to the Metropolitan Council, most people walk no more than 10 minutes, about a ½-mile, to reach transit. Bicyclists may travel further. Willingness to walk or bike varies, influenced by the quality and frequency of transit as well as the APPLE VALLEY TRANSIT MAP quality and convenience of the connecting routes. Transit-oriented development needs to address the directness, design, and character of routes for pedestrians and bicyclists. If these routes are indirect, unsafe, or unpleasant, people will be less likely to use public transit. Improvements to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure can increase the desirability of using transit.

Roads are meant to provide easy and convenient access by car between residential areas and employment and retail hubs in other cities. As such, several highways and arterial roads divide the community. Major road barriers are defined in this plan as roads with speeds above 50 miles per hour or with sections of roadway that are wider than four lanes. These road barriers are difficult to cross as the traffic moves freely and there are many lanes of traffic to cross. Major intersections are defined as the intersection of two major road barriers or intersections that otherwise pose significant crossing difficulties. Major road barriers may not completely stop individuals from crossing a street, but they present obstacles and safety concerns. These types of barriers are especially of concern for children, those with mobility constraints, and already hesitant trail or sidewalk users. MAJOR ROAD BARRIERS & MAJOR INTERSECTIONS N 1 mile The following roads are identified as barriers to pedestrian and bicycle movement in Apple Valley. These roads should be considered for crossing improvements and potential road diets. Traffic volume and speed limit are two key factors that impact whether a road is a major barrier to pedestrian and bicycle movement. See the following page for more detail.

These principles show direction for the resolution of issues and the advancement toward achieving a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian network. The guiding principles were updated from the 2010 Bike Walk Apple Valley Plan based on feedback from the Task Force and community engagement. They are intended to be clear, concise, and to match up with actionable recommendations. 1. REDUCE BARRIERS TO WALKING AND BIKING. »Create a bicycle and pedestrian system that works for all ages and abilities. »Ensure that key destinations are accessible from residential areas by biking and walking. »Increase features that address safety and comfort for biking and walking. »Ensure new development and redevelopment projects integrate walking and bicycling facilities. 2. ENCOURAGE ALTERNATIVE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION. »Build places in the city where different modes of transportation connect. 3.

The idea behind 8-80 is to take on the challenge of planning, designing, and implementing all elements of the public realm so that both an 8-year old and an 80-year old can be comfortable and safe walking and bicycling. Ultimately, the initiative extends to everyone, with the anticipation that if both of these age ranges can be accommodated, then the city will be great for all people. The simple idea enhances the notion of accessibility, mobility, and safety to include vibrancy, health, and equity in community design and planning efforts. To learn more about the 8-80 initiative, visit 880cities.org ROADWAY TREATMENTS The roadway treatments below are excerpted from the MNDOT Bicycle Facility Design Manual and offer flexible solutions to make roadways friendlier to bicyclists. As the city considers facilitating on- road options for bicyclists, these alternatives could be considered for certain lower volume roadways. NARROW LANE WIDTHS In many cases, space can be created for bicycle facilities by narrowing existing travel and turn lanes. Contrary to expectations, narrower lane widths do not reduce roadway capacity and can increase roadway safety (Source: Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers report Narrower Lanes, Safer Streets.) People naturally drive slower when lanes are narrow, which can have a positive impact on crash severity. ROADWAY RECONFIGURATION Often, existing roadways are capable of handling substantially more motor vehicle traffic than they experience throughout the day. Roads are typically designed based on a forecast of future traffic volumes, but there are cases where the traffic forecast may have been incorrect or circumstances have changed, resulting in fewer motor vehicles than expected in an original roadway design. This often leads to roads with excess capacity that encourage people to drive at fast speeds, which creates low- comfort, high-stress conditions for people walking, bicycling and taking transit. PROTECTED BIKE LANES These facilities can be used in road corridors where there is not sufficient right-of-way to add a separate shared-use path. High-visibility road markings and Bollards help increase visibility and separate bikes and pedestrians from vehicle traffic, increasing sense of safety and security along the trail BIKE ROUTE SIGNS Bike route signs identify designated bike routes. Bike routes should be designated on roads and shared use paths with favorable conditions for bicycling. A bike route, in and of itself is not a bicycle facility.

DEVELOP A COMPLETE STREETS POLICY. • Promote the valuation of biking and walking facilities on an equal level with motorized facilities by adopting complete streets policies. • The City of Apple Valley should develop a policy for new streets and reconstructed municipal streets that includes using the Complete Streets approach for design and/or redesign. • According to Smart Growth America (smartgrowthamerica.org/what-are-complete-streets/), Complete Streets is an approach to planning, designing, building, operating, and maintaining streets that enables safe access for all people who need to use them, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. 2. DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT POLICIES THAT SUPPORT WALKING AND BIKING IN THE CITY INCLUDING ENHANCING REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECTS TO ADDRESS BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND AMENITIES. • Require new development projects to build sidewalks and fill identified trail gaps. • Require the reconstruction of sidewalks in residential areas after street projects that disturb or remove them. • Give consideration to narrowing city streets and widening boulevards as a part of the planning process for every major reconstruction project, including residential streets. Narrower streets help to naturally reduce traffic speeds and create a more friendly walking and biking environment. 3. DEVELOP AN E-BIKE POLICY. • The city should develop an e-bike policy that addresses use of e-bikes on park trails, city pathways, and sidewalks. E-bikes travel at high speeds compared to pedal bikes, and conflicts with pedestrians and other bicyclists should be avoided. • The State of Minnesota has defined classes of electric bikes, and several metro area cities have developed policies for e-bikes on city trails.

UPGRADE TRAIL CROSSINGS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. • Consider grade-separated crossings of busy roadways for pedestrians and bikers, particularly along the Ring Route. • Crossing improvements- Crossing improvements can vary widely based on roadway conditions but can include at-grade improvements, such as signage, signals, and surface treatments. -For especially fast or high-volume traffic, roadways tunnels or overpasses should be considered. -Crossing improvements can also focus on changes to the roadway, narrowing or reducing lanes, adding a median, or other traffic calming devices. -These are especially vital in areas around schools, parks, bus stops, and civic destinations to ensure that those not driving have a safe way to access these spaces. • Develop updated Safe Routes to School Plans for Schools within the city and implement them. 5. PROMOTE OUTDOOR RECREATION THROUGH INVESTMENT IN SUPPORTIVE AMENITIES AND LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS. • Consider adding amenities like bike lockers, water fountains, and bike fix it stations to bus stations and shelters that provide convenient options for commuters using more than one mode of transportation to get to their destination. • Ensure an adequate number of benches, lighting, and trash receptacles exist along trails and sidewalks. • Encourage bicycling to local businesses by adding bike racks in front of commercial and retail areas. • Plant boulevards between trails and roadways with tall grasses, shrubs, and trees where possible to calm traffic and improve the experience for pedestrians and bicyclists. • Continue to develop and enhance the Ring Route as a destination walking loop. -Replace dead and dying trees with a diverse mix of native trees and other native vegetation. -Add additional amenities to increase convenience. 41 JULY 2025DRAFT Excerpt from 2010 Apple Valley Bike Walk Plan: ĞƌƚĂŝŶƌŽƵƚĞƐǁĞƌĞŝĚĞŶƟĮĞĚďǇƚŚĞƚĂƐŬĨŽƌĐĞĂŶĚƚŚĞĐŽŵŵƵŶŝƚǇĂƐƉŽƐƐŝďůĞƐĞŐŵĞŶƚƐŽĨĂĐŽƌĞŶĞƚǁŽƌŬ͘DĂƌĚĞŶsŝĞǁƌŝǀĞ͕WĂůŽŵŝŶŽƌŝǀĞ͕ĂŶĚWĞŶŶŽĐŬǀĞŶƵĞŵŝŐŚƚƐĞƌǀĞĂƐƚŚĞƐĞƌŽƵƚĞƐ͕ĂŶĚǁŝƚŚƚŚĞĂĚĚŝƟŽŶŽĨtŚŝƚŶĞǇƌŝǀĞ͕ŶŽƚĞĚĨŽƌŝƚƐĚŝƌĞĐƚůŝŶŬƚŽƚŚĞϭϱϱƚŚ^ƚƌĞĞƚdƌĂŶƐŝƚ^ƚĂƟŽŶ͕ĂĐŽƌĞůŽŽƉďĞŐŝŶƐƚŽĞǀŽůǀĞ͘ Primary route POTENTIAL BIKE NETWORK HIERARCHY Secondary route On-road route Pedestrian-only route 6.

Apple Valley has recently completed a wayfinding plan for the park system. The City also has wayfinding specific to the Ring Route. This plan recommends expanding the park signage plan to include wayfinding along trails and reimagining the Ring Route signage to incorporate it with other signage updates. Wayfinding signage along trails and sidewalks is useful for identifying parks, schools, civic destinations, and other attractions or amenities. Well-branded wayfinding can help create a stronger sense of place. Signs along the bicycle and pedestrian network could include distances to community destinations nearby showing that they are only a short ride or walk away. Signage should be consistent and legible throughout the network. Using symbols or multiple languages, when possible, allows the signs to be understood by a wider audience. Alternatives to signs, such as roadway markings, imprinted pavement, and streetscape design (such as along Apple Valley’s Ring Route), can also be useful ways to help people on foot or bike navigate the system. 43 JULY 2025DRAFT 8.

ROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS The following road and trail intersections have been identified as priorities for pedestrian and/or bicycle improvements to make crossings safer for people walking or biking, and to make people more visible to vehicles. 49 JULY 2025DRAFT ROAD CROSSING IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS MAP N 0.5 mile Ring Route B O G J Q P I L K E F A H D M N C 27 50 BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN | APPLE VALLEY, MN FUNDING SOURCES Additional funding beyond the city's general fund will be need to implement the recommendations described in this plan. The following table includes a list of potential funding sources to be explored and utilized. Funding Sources City General Funds • This is the primary source for ongoing maintenance, operations, and amenities for the bike and pedestrian system. • Capital improvements are typically funded through general funds. • The city's general fund is often used as a match for grant funding. Dedicated Tax Levy / Referendum Funding • Apple Valley may hold a referendum to create a dedicated tax levy with proceeds directed specifically for trails and ped/bike infrastructure. • The tax levy dollars may fund capital projects and operations and maintenance. • The funding may supplement the city's general funds. • The advantage of a dedicated tax levy is that trails receive a more stable source of funding and do not have to compete with other city priorities for funding on an annual basis. Bonding • General Obligation Bonds and Revenue Bonds are typically used as a source for large infrastructure projects. • These funds provide a source of implementation funding for new facilities, and in some cases, can provide funding for repairs and upgrades of existing facilities. • Residents can decide to raise revenue through a permanent or temporary tax increase dedicated for specific purposes such as sidewalk, trail, and bikeway improvements and maintenance. These funds are usually provided through bonds approved as part of a voter referendum. State Aid Funds • State aid funds are available for pedestrian and bicycle improvements on state aid roadways. At the time of street construction or reconstruction, it is important to consider ped/bike upgrades that can be performed concurrently. Partnerships • Public and private partnerships can provide funding opportunities beyond the traditional municipal models. Partnerships with Dakota County have contributed to the existing trail network. Potential partnerships with the School District, Community Education, and local businesses can help with implementation of events and programming, and can support future grant writing efforts. • Organizations with partner funding can also provide assistance with design, outreach, or maintenance/stewardship of facilities. Partnerships and relationships with local businesses can result in easements, use agreements, or donated funds for future bike and ped facilities. Funding Sources Donations • Private donations may be from individuals or area corporations, or donations of labor from recreation clubs or use agreements. “Adopt-a-Trail” programs, memorial bench donations, and incentives for local businesses to provide bike racks are all examples of how organizations, businesses, and individuals could help with maintenance and funding, while raising awareness and enthusiasm of the bike/ped system. Metropolitan Council Regional Solicitation Grants • The Metropolitan Council allocates federal funds through Regional Solicitation Grants. Funding priorities include RBTN priority corridors, multi-use trails, bicycle facilities, grade- separated crossings, filling network gaps, intersection/crossing treatments, sidewalks, streetscaping, ADA improvements, and Safe Routes to School infrastructure projects. • These grants are available on 2-year funding cycle, with the next solicitation for grant applications anticipated in early 2026. https://metrocouncil.org/Transportation/Planning-2/Transportation-Funding/Regional- Solicitation/Applying-for-Regional-Solicitation-funds.aspx Safe Routes To School (SRTS) Grants • The city may apply for SRTS Planning Assistance through MnDOT to complete a District- wide plan or individual SRTS plans for those schools that don't have a SRTS Plan or have outdated plans. https://www.dot.state.mn.us/saferoutes/grants-funding.html Other Grants • Local Trail Connections (LTC): Administered through the MNDNR; funding prioritizes projects with significant connectivity, high expected use, and attractive integration of cultural and natural resources. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/grants/recreation/trails_local.html • MN DNR Natural and Scenic Area Grants: Projects must align with the State Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). This grant is typically available annually, with an application deadline in early spring. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/grants/land/natural-scenic-app-cycle.html • MN DNR Outdoor Recreation Grants: Projects must align with the State Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). Example projects include internal park trails and trail amenities. This grant is typically available annually, with an application deadline in early spring. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/grants/recreation/outdoor_rec.html 51 JULY 2025DRAFT 5LʏʖQɒɈ %Lʎ\ɭȵɏLɡʃȱɏ ɭORȿHVɢ\ʝɤ FʋɚȰHɢWɛ FʙʪʖQɒ - Robin Williams ITEM: 6.B.
