NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETINGS:
Wednesday July 10, 2019 7:00 p.m. (Regular)
Welcome to the Apple Valley Traffic Safety Advisory Committee meeting. The Committee is a forum to hear citizen concerns
regarding traffic and parking on City streets, as well as pedestrian and bicycle safety issues. The Committee also evaluates
proposals for traffic control devices, signage, and striping and considers citywide traffic education and communication
programs. The Committee encourages residents to bring their concerns forward and appreciates your efforts to help make our
City a safer community. Specific traffic solutions may also have unintended and potentially dangerous consequences as there
are often engineering and liability issues involved with traffic controls and roadway designs to consider. When evaluating
resident concerns, the Committee follows a process that looks broadly at multiple possible solutions and utilizes the City's
engineering resources to help determine the most appropriate solution for identified problems: 1) The concern is received. 2)
Options are identified to address the concern. 3) Additional analysis of the options to determine engineering, legal liability, and
financial constraints or issues may be necessary. 4) A recommendation is made. We appreciate your participation in exploring
the most appropriate solution for the problem in your area.

Minutes
1. Call to Order

Consultants/Alternates Present: Brandon Anderson, Jodie Scheidt
Others Present:
2. Approval of Agenda
MOTION: Ms. Dolan moved, second by Mr. Puente to approve the agenda as

3. Audience Items
There were no audience items.
4. Approval of January 9, 2019 Minutes
MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. Puente, to approve the Minutes
of January 9, 2019. Motion passed 5-0. Mr. Saam abstained.
5A. Crosswalk Request North of AVHS at 1401h St and 1371h St
Mr. Anderson received a request for a mid-block crossing north of Apple
Valley High School across 1401h Street. Due to the high traffic volume on
1401h Street, the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices and the City's
Public Work's policy do not recommend a mid-block crossing. The crossing
location is also relatively close to the signalized crossing at Hayes, which is a
much safer location for pedestrians to cross. The consensus of the group was
that the location would not be a safe place for a crossing without significant
changes to the roadway design.
5B. Request for Three-Way Stop and Pedestrian Signage at Everest and 1481h St
Mr. Anderson received a request for a three-way stop at an intersection of
public streets within the Uponor campus of buildings. There is no signage at
the intersection currently. Mr. Anderson said the recommended stop
configuration would depend on the traffic volumes. He does not have traffic
counts at this time and casual observation does not reveal a dominant volume
"leg" of the intersection. He said he will continue to study the intersection for
traffic volumes to determine appropriate signage.
6A.Other Traffic Concerns Communicated to the City of Apple Valley
Police Concerns
There were no additional concerns.
Public Works Concerns
Mr. Grawe noted that staff is attempting to work with the apartment property
owners along Germane to reduce the amount of on-street parking before
proceeding to no-parking designations. The concern is that parking
restrictions could move the problem to adjoining neighborhoods, rather than
solving it.
6B.Educational Issues and Grant Opportunities
Ms. Dolan said the City received a $400 AAA mini-grant for reflective
flashing lights for elementary school children to attach to backpacks or belts
when walking to school.
Mr. Saam reported the City received a federal grant for nearly $200,000 for a
HAWK pedestrian crossing system to be installed across Galaxie Avenue near
Greenleaf Elementary School.
7. Adjourn
MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. Saam, to adjourn. Motion
passed 6-0. Meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
