ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Provide direction on the design of a pedestrian crosswalk on Lake Shore Drive. (Deferred
from November 12, 2002).
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
L(Q !
By Motion: Endorse one of the two design alternatives for providing
a pedestrian crosswalk on Lake Shore Drive with a raised median
island. (Deferred from November 12, 2002).
L'
II. BACKGROUND
At the Council work session on October 22, 2002, two design alternatives were
presented to Council for consideration on the design of a mid-block pedestrian
crosswalk with a raised median island on Lake Shore Drive between 66th Street
and Lyndale Avenue. The two options differed basically in providing on-street
parking on the north side of Lake Shore Drive. Both alternatives reduced the
roadway from four travel lanes to two to improve safety for pedestrians.
Council directed staff to evaluate whether ornot on-street parking conflicted with the
use of the proposed shoulders of the roadway for a bicycle lane.
1126Lake Shore Drive
Council deferred action from the Council Meeting on November 12, pending full
Council attendance.
III. BASIS OF RECOMIlVIENDATION
A. POLICY
• Both proposed design alternatives are consistent with Minnesota State
Aid Standards for roadways with bike lanes.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
• Proposed cross sections were developed to determine if there is
adequate width to accommodate both a bike lane and on-street
parking on the north side of Lake Shore Drive.
• The proposed pedestrian crosswalk is being considered to increase
safety for pedestrians desiring to travel to and from the Wood Lake
Nature Center.
• The redesign of Lake Shore Drive offers the possibility of providing
bike lanes and on-street parking on the roadway shoulders of Lake
Shore Drive.
• Reduction of the number of traffic lanes from four to two will be
adequate to handle forecasted traffic volumes.
• C. FINANCIAL
• There is no difference in cost in choosing one alternative or the other.
• The cost of installing the raised median will be borne by the Gramercy
Corporation, the developer of the City Bella Development Project.
D. LEGAL
• The City Attorney will be available to answer questions.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECONIlVIENDATION(S~
• It is reasonable to consider the Do Nothing alternative. Lake Shore Drive
would remain afour-lane undivided road with two mid-block pedestrian
crosswalks.
V. ATTACHIVIENTS
• Cross-sections of the two alternatives showing the lane widths with and
without on-street parking. Both alternatives provide for bike lanes on the
shoulders.
VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING
• None anticipated.

of-pocket expenses related to the tax exempt financing, including, but
