Subsection 210.01, Subd. 5 provides that salaries of Council Members shall be reviewed by the City Council by May 1 in each year in which an election is held pursuant to Section 200 of the Code. An ordinance amending the salaries established by this section must not take effect until after the next succeeding municipal election. T he 2018 ordinance change was consistent with past practice: the City Council salary increase was based on the increase granted to employees in the Management and General Services pay plan in the previous year. In 2018, City Council approved an ordinance for a salary adjustments that were the lesser of 3.5% or the percentage increase in the annual pay structure granted on January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019 to the Management and General Services pay plans. Actual annual salary increases for the Mayor and City Council were 3% each year, based on the Management and General Services pay plans, effective January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2020 respectively. The City has a 30 year history of providing the same cost of living increase to all of its employee groups. W ith 4 of the 5 union contracts having settled for 2021 at a 3% increase, staff anticipate a 3% adjustment to be recommended for non-represented employees for 2021. In the past City council has also reviewed their salaries compared to other metropolitan cities. We have attached information on other metropolitan cities' salaries. On June 23 of 2020 the City council reviewed the comparable city council salaries and the City's past practices in setting future salaries during a work session. T he majority of City council expressed their desire to maintain City council salaries at the same rate, 0% increase, in 2021 due to the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. T hey also directed staff to provide an economic trigger in the ordinance for 2022 that would set the increase to 0% if the economy has not improved, or, set the salary increase based on what is granted to employees in the Management and General Services pay plan in the previous year of 2021. T he attached ordinance provides for a 0% increase for 2021 and 0% increase in 2022 if the National Bureau of Economic Research (NB ER) finds the economy is in recession. It also includes that if the N BE R finds that the economy is not in recession then the salary increase would match the increase granted in the Management and General Services pay plans for the previous year of 2021.

E X E C UT IV E S UM M ARY: Consistent with City Council direction, the Capital I mprovement Plan (C I P), and the City's Comprehensive Plan, staff has prepared a preliminary design for the reconstruction of 65th Street between Nicollet Avenue and 66th Street/Rae Drive and improvements along Lyndale Avenue between 64th Street and 66th Street. At the J une 10 Transportation Commission meeting, the commission recommended this preliminary design along with further study of several detail design elements (listed below) with a split 5/4 vote. The 65th Street/Pillsbury Avenue intersection, including the access to 65th Street from the HUB and the reopening of Pillsbury Avenue to two-way traffic, the medians in the area and eastward, and other traffic calming measures; Potentially closing the southbound Lyndale Avenue access to W endy’s closest to the proposed roundabout or identification of other assurances and mitigation in the area to ensure safe vehicle and pedestrian interactions; and W idening the trail along the north side of 65th Street while avoiding park and other property impacts. The City's Transportation Engineer, J ack Broz, will present on the elements of the preliminary design. RE C O M M E ND E D AC T I O N: By motion: Approve: the preliminary design layout of 65th Street from Nicollet Avenue to 66th Street/Rae Drive, including the Lyndale Avenue pedestrian improvements between 64th Street and 66th Street as recommended by the Transportation Commission; and the contract, not to exceed $439,804, with Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. for final design engineering of the 65th Street Reconstruction Project between Nicollet Avenue and 66th Street/Rae Drive, including the Lyndale Avenue pedestrian improvements between 64th Street and 66th Street. B AS IS O F RE C O M M E ND AT I O N: A.H IS TOR IC AL C ON T E X T Purpose The pavement and underground infrastructure condition along 65th Street continues to deteriorate. City staff have identified a need for complete reconstruction of the roadway in the 65th Street corridor between Nicollet Avenue and 66th Street/Rae Drive. The reconstruction also allows for the release of an utility easement across the HUB property. I nfrastructure improvements along Lyndale Avenue between 64th Street and 66th Street are recommended due to recent and future redevelopment in the area. A long-term flood control solution is needed in advance of the HUB redevelopment and will be included as part of the 65th Street reconstruction. Process The 65th St. “Phase 1” project, from Nicollet Avenue to Grand Avenue, began in the fall of 2018 but was paused in August 2019 to better align with potential redevelopment in the area. The project was restarted in spring of 2020 and focused on the entire length of 65th Street from Nicollet Ave. to 66th Street/Rae Drive and also includes pedestrian improvements along Lyndale from 64th to 66th Street and flood control improvements from the HUB area to Richfield Lake. The project was reviewed by the Transportation Commission at many meetings along with public review and comments from five open houses and input from several business meetings. The first three open houses (2019) were focused on the "phase one" project area and the last two included the full project extents. The last two open houses (2020) were "virtual open houses" due to C OV I D-19 guidelines. All open house recaps and comments can be found at www.richfieldsweetstreets.org/learn. Project Description Through the process the preliminary design was developed to address the corridor issues. The design's effectiveness and impacts were reviewed and modifications to the design were made to limit impacts. The preliminary layout is intended to improve the conditions for each of the modes as described below. Pedestrians - Concerns were identified related to discomfort and safety when crossing and walking along both Lyndale Avenue and 65th Street. The preliminary layout includes: Medians to provide refuge and one-way crossing of traffic Pedestrian-activated flashing lights at: the compact roundabout at Lyndale 65th Street and Woodlake Drive Lyndale Avenue and 64th Street Boulevards/trees to buffer a new sidewalk along the south side of 65th Street Boulevards/trees to buffer a new shared path along the north side of 65th Street Bicyclists - Concerns were identified due to the lack of facilities for bicyclists. The preliminary layout includes: On-street buffered bicycle lanes on Lyndale Avenue from 63rd Street to 66th Street Multi-use path on the north side of 65th Street Parking - Concerns were identified related to a lack of parking in the commercial areas. The preliminary layout includes: On-street parking on both sides of 65th Street west of Lyndale Avenue On-street parking on the west side of Lyndale Avenue north of 64th Street On-street parking on both sides of Lyndale between 64th and 65th Streets Motorists - Concerns were identified with safety and mobility along the corridor. Safety concerns included that existing vehicle speeds make it uncomfortable and potentially dangerous for pedestrians. Mobility concerns included the delays at the signal at 65th Street and Lyndale Avenue along with access to the residential neighborhood north of 65th Street between the railroad and Nicollet Avenue. The preliminary design features include: 66th Street/Rae Drive to Lyndale Avenue Two lane roadway with parking on both sides Compact roundabout at Lyndale Avenue Lyndale Avenue to Pillsbury Avenue Two lane roadway Full Access intersection at Pillsbury/HUB entrance Pillsbury Avenue to Nicollet Avenue Three lane roadway Lyndale Avenue from 63rd Street to 66th Street Restriping to a three lane roadway I mpacts The preliminary design generally fits within the existing right-of-way, but there are impacts at some adjacent properties as described below: Sidewalk easements and right-of-way acquisition at the compact roundabout Temporary grading easements along Richfield Lake to adjust to the new design and flood control (City-owned property) Temporary grading easements and/or short retaining walls to adjust adjacent properties to the new design Driveway easements to adjust driveways to the new design Additional Considerations Public Works staff would like to further study the potential to implement a new trail entrance into Richfield Lake consistent with the approved Lakes at Lyndale Connectivity Plan and further study the potential to add park features on the vacant land at the northeast corner of 65th Street and Pillsbury Avenue. Public W orks staff would work with Recreation Services staff to study and implement these features. B.P OL IC IE S (resolutions, ordinances, regulations, statutes, etc): The reconstruction of 65th Street and Lyndale Avenue Pedestrian I mprovements is consistent with the following approved plans: 5 Year Street Reconstruction Plan Comprehensive Plan (Chapter 7 - Transportation) Pedestrian Master Plan Bicycle Master Plan Street Reconstruction Guiding Principles Document Complete Streets Policy Arterial Roads Study C.C R IT IC AL T IMIN G IS S U E S: The preliminary design needs to be approved in order to begin and complete final design engineering of the project. As it stands, the project is slated for a 2022 construction timeline, but staff believes it is important the City is ready for a 2021 construction timeline if needed due to adjacent redevelopment projects. D.F IN AN C IAL IMPAC T: The estimated cost of the project is approximately $9,000,000. T he costs include the replacement of city utilities and flood control improvements. T he project is financed by: Street Reconstruction Bonds: $7,800,000 Utility Bonds: $1,200,000 An updated Sources and Uses summary is attached to this report.

Transportation Engineer City of Richfield 1901 E 66th Street Richfield, MN 55423 Re: W 65th Street Improvements – 66th Street to Nicollet Avenue Proposal for Preliminary & Final Design Services Dear Jack, Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for preliminary design services for the W 65th Street Improvements project. We understand that the primary objective of this scope is to assist the City of Richfield in developing the preliminary and final design for improvements on W 65th Street from W 66th Street to Nicollet Avenue, including evaluation of corridor improvements that balance mobility, access, and non-motorized uses along the roadway. This project also includes the restriping of Lyndale Avenue from 64th to 66th Street. We understand construction is planned for 2021 and includes roadway, sidewalk, utilities, lighting, and streetscaping. Project Understanding The City of Richfield has requested Kimley-Horn provide a Scope of Services that includes project management, data collection, stakeholder engagement, traffic analysis, preliminary design, and final design for this segment of W 65th Street. The proposed design will adhere to Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) State Aid standards. Scope of Services The following is a summary of our proposed Scope of Services for the project. Task 1 – Project Management Kimley-Horn will provide project management and coordination services including quality assurance/quality control of the project deliverables. 1.1 Project Management/Administration Kimley-Horn will coordinate project management activities including project monitoring, progress reports, the development of a detailed work plan with specific staff assignments, and preparation of a project schedule indicating critical dates, milestones, and deliverables. 1.2 Kickoff Meeting Kimley-Horn will hold a kickoff meeting with a Project Management Team (PMT) including City of Richfield staff to discuss the scope and ◼ Suite 100 767 Eustis Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55114 ◼ TEL 651 645 4197 FAX 651 645 5116 Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 2 schedule for the project. Kimley-Horn will also hold an internal team kickoff meeting to review the project requirements with staff involved. 1.3 PMT Meetings Hold up to twelve (12) PMT meetings to discuss issues that arise during the public engagement and design work. Kimley-Horn will be responsible for preparing meeting agendas, meeting minutes, and necessary exhibits to conduct the meetings. 1.4 Quality Control Reviews Kimley-Horn will coordinate quality control reviews of deliverables. We will also conduct constructability reviews for the public utility layout and the 60 percent plans. Deliverables: Meeting Agendas, Minutes & Exhibits, Work Plan, Schedule, QA/QC Reviews. Task 2 – Data Collection 2.1 Topographic Survey A Kimley-Horn subconsultant will perform a field collection of survey data for the preparation of a base map for the project corridor. This includes horizontal/vertical control and topographic survey information, a utility structure survey, and existing right-of-way/easement identification from Lyndale Avenue to 66th Street. We will utilize the existing conditions information to develop a base map and digital terrain model for the project corridor. 2.2 Geotechnical 2.2.1 Soil Borings A Kimley-Horn subconsultant, Braun Intertec, will perform the subsurface investigation and analysis and prepare a report for the proposed roadway improvements. We have assumed a total of fifteen (15) soil borings at a depth of 5 to 10 feet. Actual soil boring locations and depths will be determined during the final design process. 2.2.2 Laboratory Testing Laboratory tests of the soil samples obtained via borings will be completed. The tests will include classification (sieve analysis, density, moisture content, etc.) and one (1) R-value test. 2.2.3 Engineering Analysis and Reports A final geotechnical report will be prepared to include the following: • Description of the process for selecting boring locations • Soil boring location map • Descriptions of drilling, sampling, testing, and classification methods • Boring logs • Review of soil/groundwater conditions encountered • A detailed layout showing the limits of unsuitable foundation material Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 3 • Recommendations for pavement design and construction • Recommendations regarding utility installations Deliverables: Electronic Base Map, Geotechnical Report. Task 3 – Stakeholder Engagement Stakeholder engagement will be important for the success of the W 65 Street Improvement project. Kimley-Horn will follow the process laid out in the City of Richfield’s Guiding Documents for Public Engagement. We understand that two open houses were previously held during the preliminary design of the first half of the project from Nicollet Avenue to Lyndale Avenue. To supplement this previous engagement, Kimley-Horn will participate in two (2) public meetings for the overall preliminary design. These will be considered “Open House #3” and “Open House #4” in the City’s guiding document. A City Council Work Session and a Richfield Transportation Commission Meeting will be necessary prior to each open house. 3.1 Richfield Transportation Commission Meetings The Richfield Transportation Commission will be the policy-making body governing this project and will be responsible for hosting public meetings, consideration of recommended improvements, and approving the preliminary and final design plans. Kimley-Horn will present at up to two (2) meetings with the Richfield Transportation Commission, at critical milestones throughout the process. Kimley-Horn will prepare necessary meeting materials. 3.2 Public Meetings Kimley-Horn will participate in up to two (2) public meetings hosted by the Richfield Transportation Commission. The purpose of these meetings will be to engage the public and agencies in the development of the project. Kimley-Horn will establish meeting locations, prepare up to 10 exhibits per meeting, provide meeting summaries, and provide technical staff necessary to facilitate the meetings. Up to three (3) Kimley-Horn staff representing relevant technical areas will be present at each public meeting. Prior to construction, Kimley-Horn will participate in a “Kickoff to Construction” open house as described in the City’s guiding documents. Up to three (3) Kimley-Horn staff representing relevant technical areas will be present at each public meeting. 3.3 Stakeholder Meetings Kimley-Horn will meet with stakeholders along the project corridor as necessary. Anticipated stakeholders could include Metro Transit, the railroad, Hennepin County, Metro Transit, and local businesses. We have included up to eight (8) stakeholder meetings. Kimley-Horn will establish meeting locations, prepare agendas and exhibits, and draft Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 4 meeting summaries. One (1) Kimley-Horn staff member will be present at each stakeholder meeting. 3.4 Project Website A project website (hosted by the City) will be updated periodically throughout the design process (up to three (3) updates) to inform stakeholders on upcoming public meetings, provide project updates, and advise the public on key design considerations. Kimley-Horn will provide the City with initial website content and updates. Deliverables: Meeting Materials, Minutes/Summaries, Project Website Updates, Project Newsletters. Task 4 – Traffic Analysis Kimley-Horn will complete a traffic analysis that will document the existing operations, design year operations, and safety issues within the project limits. We will utilize the traffic forecasts prepared by the City’s previous consultant. The analysis will help confirm that the proposed design provides acceptable operations and assist in the evaluation of alternatives. 4.1 Multimodal Safety and Access Analysis Kimley-Horn will perform a review of existing multimodal access locations along the corridor. We will identify deficient areas and develop recommendations for improvements. 4.2 Intersection Control Evaluation Kimley-Horn will prepare an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) in accordance with State Aid standards for the W 65th Street/Lyndale Avenue intersection. We will evaluate roundabout and signal options at the intersection. Deliverables: Technical Memoranda, Roundabout Justification Report. Task 5 – Preliminary Design Kimley-Horn will develop concept alternatives as a part of preliminary design. Alternatives will be studied and vetted through the PMT as well as through the stakeholder engagement process. Decisions made throughout this process will be incorporated into the preliminary design. Upon conclusion of this phase, the design will be considered 30% complete. A preliminary layout, prepared consistent with MnDOT State Aid criteria, will be submitted along with cross sections for review. 5.1 Concept Alternatives and Evaluation Kimley-Horn will develop and evaluate conceptual alternatives in concert with the stakeholder engagement process. Up to three (3) conceptual alternatives will be developed. A preferred alternative will be selected through a process which combines technical analysis and stakeholder input. This process will be documented in an Alternative Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 5 Evaluation Technical Memorandum. The preferred alternative will be the basis for the preliminary design. 5.2 Preliminary Roadway Design Kimley-Horn will establish the overall roadway design to be the basis of the final construction documents. Preliminary design of roadway elements includes: • Incorporating comments received during the stakeholder engagement and PMT evaluation • Establishing the final horizontal and vertical design • Evaluation of the ability to incorporate on-street parking • Completing preliminary cross-sections necessary to identify grading limits • Identify necessary permanent and temporary easements 5.3 Preliminary Public Utility Design 5.3.1 Preliminary Watermain Design Kimley-Horn will meet with the City’s utility supervisor to discuss the overall required improvements for sanitary sewer and watermain. We have assumed that existing sanitary sewer and watermain including services within the project corridor will be replaced in the same general location, except for public utilities that exist within The Hub parking lot. We will develop up to two (2) alternatives for realigning these utilities to within nearby right-of-way. 5.3.2 Preliminary Roadway Lighting Design Kimley-Horn will meet with the City’s street supervisor to establish a street lighting design for the corridor in accordance with the City’s lighting policy. 5.3.3 Preliminary Hydraulic Design The City will complete a hydraulic assessment of existing drainage conditions within the project limits. Kimley-Horn will meet with City staff to discuss known drainage issues along the corridor and address them with the project improvements if possible. We have assumed that the existing drainage system will be replaced with similar sized structures and pipes as required. 5.4 Pedestrian Connectivity Review Kimley-Horn will evaluate existing pedestrian facilities and connectivity within and immediately surrounding the project corridor. We will review crossings, identify gaps, and evaluate potential improvements that can be incorporated into the project design. We will develop up to two (2) concept alternatives for improved pedestrian facilities for evaluation by City staff and stakeholders during the preliminary design process. The preferred set of improvements will be reflected in the preliminary layout. Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 6 5.5 Private Utility Coordination Kimley-Horn will conduct up to three (3) meetings with private utilities during the project design. The meetings will be held to discuss the overall project improvements, utility conflicts, schedule and general project coordination. Kimley-Horn will prepare agendas, exhibits, and meeting minutes. 5.6 Preliminary Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost Kimley-Horn will develop an Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Cost. Deliverables: Alternative Evaluation Technical Memorandum, Conceptual Alternative Layouts (3), Public Utility Concepts (2), Pedestrian Improvements Concepts (2), Preliminary Roadway Design Layout, Preliminary Cross-sections, Preliminary Public Utility Layout, Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Cost. Task 6 – Right of Way 6.1 Refine Construction Limits and Confirm Right of Way Needs We will review the proposed roadway geometrics, cross sections and grading limits and confirm the right of way and easement needs for the project. An exhibit will be prepared detailing the overall right of way/easement acquisition requirements. 6.2 Preparation of Legal Descriptions We will review the deed or title commitment for each parcel and prepare a proposed right of way acquisition exhibit and description suitable for recording. We have assumed that exhibits and descriptions will be required for up to 4 parcels. We have assumed that title work for each property will be provided by the City. 6.3 Survey of Acquisition Limits Field survey of acquisition limits will be performed. This will include staking permanent right of way and temporary easements for up to 4 impacted parcels. 6.4 Acquisition Services We will provide right of way agent services for 4 parcels impacted as follows: • Maintain acquisition spreadsheet • Prepare early notification letters • Contact landowner and schedule Filed Title Investigation meeting • Conduct Field Title Investigation meeting and complete report in coordination with the appraiser • Respond to property owner questions and provide project details • Complete appraisals • Prepare offer letter and packet • Present offer letter and appraisal • Negotiate purchase of the right of way/easements • Draft administrative settlements as appropriate Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 7 • We assume we will pursue 4 lender consents. Any fees for the consents charged by the lender will be a pass-through cost. • Coordinate with City staff and the City Attorney who will provide the conveyance documents and other required legal documents and lender consents. • Hourly fee is estimated up to the title and possession date. Services beyond that date are at an hourly rate if the budget has been depleted. Our acquisition services do not include any of the following: • Title work • Document recording • 1099’s • Relocation • Drafting of legal documents (HPS is not a law firm) • Any eminent domain related services Assumed parcels are: 1.) PID 2702824230010 HNC Properties LLC 2.) PID 2702824230111 Lyndale Station LLC (LA fitness, etc. site) 3.) PID 2702824230090 Nearco IV LLC & Affiliates C/O Wendy’s 4.) PID 2702824230098 Market Plaza Consolidates and 7 other PIDS (per county data, all 8 PIDs have the same owner, but until title work is available and reviewed by legal staff we will not know if there are additional ownership interests that would need to be addressed or treated as a separate “parcels”) Deliverables: Overall right of way acquisition exhibit, legal descriptions (4) and exhibits (4) Task 7 – Final Design 7.1 Final Plans Following City Council approval of the preliminary layout, we will finalize the design of the proposed improvements and develop detailed final design plans and specifications. The documents will satisfy the requirements of the City and permitting agencies and adhere to current MnDOT State Aid standards for MnDOT State Aid Funding. The final plans will include the following sheets: o Title Sheet o General Layout o Estimated Quantities o Private Utility Contacts o Soils, Construction Notes, Standard Plates o Earthwork Tabulations and Summary o Typical Sections o Miscellaneous Details o Standard Plan Sheets o Construction Staging Plan o Traffic Control Plan Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 8 o Topography and Inplace Utility Plan o Removal Plan o Right of Way Plan o Alignment Plan and Tabulations o Construction Plan and Profile o Intersection Details o Drainage Notes o Drainage and Erosion Control Plan o Drainage Tabulations and Details o Sanitary Sewer and Watermain Plan, Tabulations, and Details o Landscaping and Turf Establishment Plan o Signing and Pavement Marking Plan Tabulations and Details o Lighting Plan and Details o Signal Plan o Cross Sections Electronic AutoCAD files of the final plans will be provided to the City. The coordinates and elevations of all points will be provided in the Hennepin County coordinate system. Kimley-Horn will also provide Excel files used for design and preparation of construction plans as well as final plans and special provisions in Adobe PDF format. 7.2 Project Manual Kimley-Horn will prepare the project manual including technical special provisions for the project to be submitted both in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF format at the 95% plan submittal stage. 7.3 Cost Estimates We will prepare cost estimates at the 30%, 60%, 95%, and 100% plan submittal stages to include proposed construction and any right-of-way/easement acquisition costs. Draft estimates will be prepared for review by City staff. Comments from drafts will be incorporated into final cost estimates. 7.4 Permit Applications Kimley-Horn will prepare the permit applications for the project including: • Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Permit • National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) We will submit the MDH permit application to the review agency and pay the required fee. We will prepare the SWPPP required for the NPDES permit application but have assumed the Contractor, upon award, will submit the permit application and fee to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. A stormwater analysis will be performed to determine the necessary measures required by MnDOT State Aid. The report will also include hydraulic calculations necessary for State Aid approval. Mr. Jack Broz, February 3, 2020, Pg. 9 Based on aerial photography and National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps there does not appear to be any wetlands in the corridor. We have assumed wetland delineation and/or permitting will not be required for the project. 7.5 Bidding Phase We will assist the City of Richfield during the bidding phase by distributing the plans and project manual to Contractors, responding to contractor questions, and preparing any necessary addenda. Deliverables: Final Plans, Project Manual, Cost Estimates (30%, 60%, 95%, and 100% completion stages), Permit Applications and SWPPP, Addenda. Estimated Costs/Fee KHA will provide the Scope of Services identified above on an hourly labor fee plus expense basis.

The virtual meeting also included an online survey, an interactive feedback map of the layout, and a PDF version of the full preliminary engineering layout. The virtual open house was available through a standalone website (www.65streetreconstruction.com) and was advertised via the City’s Sweet Streets website and Facebook page, an ad in The Sun Current, and postcard mailers. Individual calls were made to nearby senior living facilities, apartments, and condos to notify residents of the open house and identify if they preferred materials in another format. Overall online interactions are summarized below: Attendees: 177 unique website views Survey responses: 77 Interactive map responses: 21 Website comments: 17 Postcards sent to neighborhoods around the corridor: 2,479 Sweet Streets signs with open house information posted along the corridor: 8 Changeable message signs at City Hall and Veterans Park that ran from April 17 – 27. City of Richfield Facebook page: 5 unique posts Sweet Streets Facebook page: 4 unique posts Meeting Purpose Provide information about the project including the project overview, City’s goals for the project, schedule, and ways to engage Share the proposed improvements and solicit feedback on the updated layout Comment Summary 1. Online Survey Below are the online survey questions and participant responses. Questions 2 and 3 were open-ended. Similar comments received are summarized together and items in bold were made the most frequently. 5/19/2020 2 Question 1: Question 2: Do you have any comments regarding the proposed improvements capturing the problem statement and project needs? Multimodal Safety - Need for a speed limit to be set heading west on 65th St toward the post office; drivers round the curve too fast; many people cross at the post office to go to and from the lake; address with a dedicated cross walk - Despite the current stop sign at 65th and Pleasant, there is excessive speeding on 65th; with no stop between Lyndale and Nicollet in the current plan, what is going to prevent even faster traffic? Perhaps the new 65th and Pillsbury Ave intersection should be a 4-way stop. - Need for better lighting and to make it safe. - If traffic is required to STOP at pedestrian crosswalks, why is the light yellow instead of red? For many motorists, a blinking yellow light means “hurry up and get through before it turns red.” The result for pedestrians is that cars don’t slow down or stop, they speed through. Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements - Buffer the bike lanes on the Lyndale portion like on 70th St; this gives young and new riders more space to safely cycle - The proposed trail on 65th should be widened to 10’ or 12’; ensure the trail accommodates cyclists in both directions and pedestrians - In favor of sidewalk improvements - In favor of a bike lane or shared trail like 66th Street - Love the addition of a trail and Lyndale bike lanes Greening - Will trees be part of the landscaping on 65th? Vehicle Storage - In favor of increased vehicle parking Traffic Control 12% 16% 72% 0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80% No Not sure Yes The proposed improvements include adding a roundabout at 65th Street and Lyndale Avenue, medians, bike lanes, new shared-use trails, and preserving on- street parking. Do you agree that the proposed improvements address the problem statement and project ne 5/19/2020 3 - In favor of a roundabout: o Add another roundabout; concerned about traffic back-ups during the morning and evening commutes on Lyndale o Love the roundabout idea and connection to Richfield Lake - Not in favor of a roundabout: o Don’t see enough traffic on 65th/Lyndale to warrant another roundabout o Limit roundabouts; they are not good for pedestrians o Heavy traffic on Lyndale and much lighter traffic on 65th means a round-about will make it very difficult to cross Lyndale. Aren’t there other solutions than a round-about? o Too many roundabouts on Lyndale already, and despite your claims, they are NOT pedestrian friendly. o Many, many seniors live in this area and roundabouts are difficult to navigate, especially for those who are blind or disabled and use walkers. Feel there are too many roundabouts on Lyndale. Concern for seniors and how they will cross Lyndale Avenue to get to businesses or medical appointments. o I do not think roundabouts are the answer. If one is put in on 65th and Lyndale that will make it 5 in a row. People are confused with the ones by Wood Lake. You can’t make a left from the one by the VFW. o I am a bit concerned about a roundabout at 65th and Lyndale. The roundabouts at larger intersections work well, 66th at Lyndale, Nicollet, Portland. The smaller roundabouts like 68th and Lyndale and 70th and Lyndale I think are very poor. They are too small for the space. Will 65th and Lyndale be large enough? - The traffic flow from Hwy 62 is problematic. Currently a stoplight stops traffic, allowing east/westbound traffic and pedestrians to cross. High traffic volumes from the freeway system may cause safety issues. - Need to examine rush hour traffic at existing roundabouts to understand how a roundabout at 65th St/Lyndale will operate regularly - Concern about the entrances and exits near the roundabout from both Wendy’s and the liquor store; ensure that they are safe for drivers and pedestrians 65th St/Pillsbury - In favor of keeping the cul-de-sacs north of 65th St: o Disagree with changing the intersection of 65th/Pillsbury to be two-way traffic with a direct connection from the HUB. this will create non-neighborhood traffic to flow into the neighborhood as a way around the light at Nicollet. I would look to add Speed bumps or some other means of slowing cars down. o Would like Pillsbury Ave to remain one-way (southbound) only; don’t see a reason to open up the neighborhood to traffic cutting through in an attempt to avoid busier commercial streets o Do not feel that a through street at Pillsbury and 65th is needed. This will only increase apartment traffic flow through the neighborhood. Suggest that Pleasant becomes a two- way street. o Need to pay more attention to the concerns listed about the 65th and Pillsbury intersection 5/19/2020 4 o From the community input you listed it looks like the neighborhood is not in favor of connecting the cul-de-sacs north of the Hub. The plan indicates that there will be access. I think this is a mistake and would increase undesirable traffic on those side streets. Those neighborhoods are easily accessed by 64th for emergency vehicles. And limiting access has proven beneficial on such roads as 76th street. Construction Staging - How will people access Richfield Medical Group during the construction on 65th Street? The access from Lyndale was closed due to the addition of the day care center next door. Questions 3: Anything else you’d like the project team to know? - In favor of the proposed improvements: o This appears to be a well-thought out and integrated solution to address the needs of this community o 65th Street has needed these improvements for a long time. Over all the plan is excellent. o This appears to align nicely with recent reconstruction updates, including similar upgrades and priority sets used on both Lyndale and 66th Street. In addition to the stated project needs, this should yield the added benefit of improving continuity and consistency of appearance throughout the greater corridor. - Don’t see a need for this project; the sidewalks are fine, and the roads are in okay shape - I’m concerned that the improvements will be made before the redevelopment of The Hub is finalized and then it will be discovered that they aren’t right or adequate for what’s planned for the Hub. Question 3: Anything else you'd like the project team to know? Multimodal Safety - Dangerous to cross 66th at Lyndale; even with the yellow flashing lights, the rate of cars stopping is inconsistent; the lights were more dependable - Concern around reckless drivers speeding through the neighborhood. Consider making Pleasant a two-way street to divert flow of traffic. More young families/children are in the area. Consider this as a major safety concern. Traffic Control - In favor of a roundabout: o Roundabouts on Lyndale Ave and 66th Street have slowed traffic and met the needs of those of us who live in the area. o In favor of the roundabout at 65th/Lyndale; the light makes it my least favorite intersection in town (especially traveling east/west as the angle provides for people wandering over the lines in while waiting to turn constantly). - Leave Woodlake Dr as a two-way street - Don’t see a final decision on whether the cul-de-sacs at 65th and Wentworth and 65th and Blaisdell will be opened to 65th Street. - Need to eliminate the stop sign at 65th and the railroad tracks 5/19/2020 5 - There is still disagreement about whether to reconnect the neighborhoods north of the HUB - not sure if the summary from previous sessions was unclear or if there are just conflicting opinions from the public but that will need to get resolved 65th St/Pillsbury - In favor of keeping the cul-de-sacs north of 65th St: o Do not open Pillsbury Ave to two-way traffic north of 65th St Construction Staging - Lynwood Flats only has one entrance to the parking lot and it is located on 65th Street between the post office and Lyndale. Will this be taken into consideration and is there a plan in place to make sure the people living in this apartment complex will have a route to get into the parking lot? - Provide residents on Rae Dr with ample access during construction - Concern about parking on Rae Dr; the apartment buildings do not have sufficient parking for tenant needs, forcing at least 15 tenants to park on the street. Parking by the former laundromat site might be a solution. - How will the construction on 65th Street impact EMT access to Village Shores and Woodlake Point Condominiums, via Woodlake Drive? Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements - Make the Lyndale Avenue lanes buffered, like the Lyndale lanes from 68th-61st and from 67th- 70th. This will be safer for people biking. - Need for consistency of sidewalks from Nicollet to Lyndale - Consider widening boulevards on the north side of 65th to give a greater buffer between the residential apartments and traffic - Supportive of the crossing over 65th by the villages to Richfield Lake - It’s hard to tell from the pictures and diagrams what the bike lane will be. Will it extend all the way to 66th street to connect with the bike lane there? Will it be a dual bike lane/walking path like on 66th or on the road like on Lyndale north of 65th? There really aren’t any diagrams that include a key to show you what all the colored lines mean. That would be helpful. - Is Lyndale going to get bike lanes and places to park? Experience issues crossing intersection of Lyndale and 63rd. Transit Operations - There’s no mention of bus stops and how they might be enhanced. Prior to COVID-19, many people used the bus and it was often difficult, especially in the winter. Greening and Stormwater Management - How will 65th and Lyndale and 65th and Nicollet look? Will there be any landscaping with trees such as was done on 66th? It greatly enhances the appearance and air quality if there are trees. - Is the new larger storm sewer pipe in a different location than the path from 65th St to Richfield Lake? Or, will that pathway change or be interrupted during construction? - After adding the new larger storm sewer pipe, will you be replanting new trees? 5/19/2020 6 - There are times when the pathway around Richfield Lake is completely covered with storm water and I can’t walk on it. - Current heavy water erosion in places on the Richfield Lake path. General Feedback - Thank you for the design work you have done for improving 65th Street. It makes this forgotten street more attractive, habitable and safer. - I do not live in Richfield but commute to/from work from Minneapolis. This connection would greatly improve my trip, because I normally need to cross from Nicollet to Lyndale. It is currently a less than ideal part of my journey and I often feel unsafe. - Are there redevelopment plans for The Hub that can be made public? Would like to know if a grocery store will replace Rainbow. 2. Online Feedback Map Attendees could provide feedback on an interactive map of the project layout. Comments received are summarized by the type of pin associated with the comment (e.g. Business/Property Owner, Commuter, Resident, or Other Feedback). Items in bold were made the most frequently. Business/Property Owner Having the Wendy's driveway inside the roundabout seems dangerous. Possible to work with Wendy's to get access via their other two driveways? Are two driveways into the liquor store on 65th needed? Won't the additional driveway reduce available parking and, with the driveway so close to the roundabout, cause some confusion? Commuter Supportive of the plan to add a sidewalk on the south side here. It's dicey walking to Pizza Luce. Ensure paths/sidewalks around roundabout are 10' or more; bicyclists using Lyndale Avenue lanes will need to share them with people walking. Why does Lyndale expand out to 4 lanes when it goes back to 3 lanes on the other side of the interchange? Is it busier than Xerxes Ave or Penn Ave or Portland Avenue, all of which have or will soon have one through lane? Keep it three lanes all the way through. Need for a crosswalk across the north leg of Nicollet and 65th as well as the south leg. Right now, people in the apartment building would have to cross the street three times just to cross to the trail. This is the only access to the Lynwood Flats parking lot. Is there a plan in place to add another entrance to this lot while the street is torn up? Nicollet Ave is going to be repaved and striped by Hennepin County soon, correct? Can you ensure that connections to turn on/off of Nicollet are smooth and safe for bicyclists? Is there a reason the trail doesn't continue over Rae drive with a crosswalk, etc? Resident Not in favor of opening Pillsbury Avenue to northbound traffic. Many residents park on (both sides of) the street, which doesn't leave enough room for 2-way traffic unless residential parking is reduced or banned. Since there are no sidewalks, all pedestrian traffic is on the street as well. 5/19/2020 7 Residents do not want traffic cutting through our quiet neighborhood. Years ago, northbound access to Pillsbury from 65th was switched off at the request of residents, and the improvement has been tremendous. Please do not implement this poorly thought out idea. Need for a designated turn lane on northbound Lyndale Ave for accessing Lyndale Station to help facilitate traffic flow. With 7 different street and parking lot turn-ins between Grand Ave and E Pleasant, why is there no middle turn lane in the plans here? o Do not add more left turn lanes; it's OK if cars slow down momentarily -- it will make the street safer. Through traffic has 66th a few hundred feet away. The majority of traffic coming from 65th towards 66th turns right onto 66th. It would facilitate traffic flow if there were a designated right turn only lane striped in here, so traffic doesn't back up behind vehicles waiting at the light to go straight. Supportive of restoring Pillsbury to the way it used to be: two-way access to 65th. But don’t want to have speeding cars cut through. Add bumpouts, speed tables, etc to make sure any through cars are slow and respectful. o See no added benefit to opening Pillsbury to two-way traffic at 65th St; do see a big negative. Concern that it will bring extra traffic through the neighborhood as people try to avoid the light ahead at Nicollet. Concern that there is no change to this intersection in the plans. There are 4 entry and exit roads coming into Lyndale all at the same point (e.g. Vet/Liquor store, Lakewinds, Lyn 65/Strip Mall, Lyndale Plaza) Its dangerous; I have been almost clipped and hit by other turners often and no one knows who has the right of way because this is such a novel intersection. Concern that with more constant traffic in a roundabout (no created pauses in traffic) that it will be much harder to cross Lyndale from one of these inlets, especially since you cannot go north on Lyndale from Lakewinds' north traffic entrance. Other Feedback How about bike access to 65th? (shown at 65th/Grand) How about bike access to 65th? (shown at 65th/Wentworth) How about bike access to 65th? (shown at 65th/Blaisdell) The trail should continue down this short block to connect to 66th, and to help people who want to walk between Richfield Lake and Wood Lake (shown at 65th/Rae Dr) Love this mid-block crossing! (shown near 65th/Wentworth) 3. Website Virtual meeting attendees had the ability to provide feedback on any of the slides by using the comment button feature. Comments received are summarized by topic below and items in bold were made most frequently. Traffic Control - I strongly agree with removing the stop sign at the 65th St. railroad crossing. This is a pinch point that slows traffic and causes extra noise as people zoom away. I hope 65th St will be one lane in each direction with a left turn lane instead of the current two lanes in each direction. Please, no parking on 65th between Nicollet and Lyndale. Thanks for the bike lanes. 5/19/2020 8 - In favor of a roundabout o I think a roundabout at the corner of 65th and Lyndale would be a great decision. That intersection has been a huge bottleneck to my commute. I find myself stopped at that intersection about every time I approach it. - Not in favor of a roundabout - There’s a need to reduce the amount of horn honking at roundabouts. I’ve observed that drivers are honking their horns not to promote safety, but to admonish other drivers whom they believe are not driving quickly enough through a roundabout. I believe such horn honking violates a Minnesota’s statute. Perhaps, the City could educate drivers about the appropriate time to honk. Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements - Make the trail along 65th Street at least 10 feet wide, rather than the proposed 8 feet. Bicyclists will need to share this space. This is unlike 76th Street or Portland Avenue where there is also an on-street option, and the trail is supplemental. - Make the bike lanes on Lyndale Avenue buffered bike lanes like those on 70th Street to give kids and other vulnerable users some safe breathing room when riding bikes Stormwater Management - Concern around how the larger storm pipes for run-off will affect the level of Richfield Lake where there is also danger of flooding the trails which, even now, are under water. Neighborhood Access The comments about the intersection of 65th and Pillsbury are not clear. Reconnecting the grid doesn’t clearly describe the type of intersection. Could you clarify this for me? Other Feedback - Please consider those who are blind and/or deaf in any of your designs as well as those who use wheel chairs. In my Richfield senior community, there are many who have disabilities and must find save ways to navigate the streets and sidewalks. - The graphic on the Plans and Policies page indicates that a Richfield Hub Redevelopment plans may be found on the Sweet Streets page. Unfortunately, I could not find any information on the Sweet Streets page regarding plans related to the Richfield Hub Redevelopment. Can you provide information about the Hub redevelopment? - I just reviewed the two options for HUB redevelopment. My vote is for OPTION A. This area of Richfield needs a nice retail and restaurant location for people already living in the area to walk, bike, or drive to and enjoy. Opportunity to upgrade from fast food and takeouts -- Richfield DOES NOT need to add to the residential population in this area with OPTION B which will also bring increased traffic -- which again is NOT NEEDED!! - I reviewed the plans for the Hub redevelopment project and I prefer option A. The reasons for my vote is that we don't want Richfield to turn into a big city feel. The reason I moved to Richfield was that it's close to the city but feels like a suburb with green space and not a lot of traffic. By keeping the development more retail, restaurants and walk and bike friendly for the locals. Too many housing developments turns us into a city feel instead. 65 th S treet r econ S truction P roject This fifth and final open house for the reconstruction of 65th Street and restriping of Lyndale Avenue.

Website Comment Form Virtual meeting attendees had the ability to provide feedback on any of the slides by using the comment button feature. Comments received are summarized by topic below. 65th St/Pillsbury Unsupportive of turning 65th/Pillsbury into a two-way street o Unsafe – many children play near the end of the street o Will increase volume of traffic in neighborhood o Logical place for a two-way street is Pleasant Traffic Control and Vehicle Operations Roundabout 6/10/2020 2 o Need to inform Richfield police and fire departments cars need to continue to their exit in roundabout then stop. Police and fire trucks honk excessively in the roundabout at 66th St/Lyndale. Police cars go over the roundabout at 67th St/Lyndale all the time as they are responding to a call. o Supportive of a roundabout o Unsupportive of roundabout: Elderly do not feel safe crossing the street with a roundabout 64th St/Lyndale intersection – a stop sign during high traffic volume times isn’t going to handle the added traffic flow. Turning North on to Lyndale isn’t that much of a problem unless one lives in the new apartment complex on the East side of the 64th and Lyndale intersection. Turning South will reverse the problem for the new units on 64th street. Either traffic lights providing timed stops will help the traffic flow problem or a traffic circle that provides controlled access will handle the traffic flow. What was used to determine that residents would mostly use public transportation for travel to work or shopping? Concern that there’s an additional 82 units and that is going to add at least that many additional cars in the area. Why wasn’t a study done to see what the traffic impact would be on Lyndale Ave and neighborhood feeder roads? Construction Staging Supportive of decision to keep unobstructed access from 65th Street into Richfield Medical Group parking lot. Would like to know plans to maintain continuous access into their parking lot during their operating hours throughout the construction period. Other - The statement was made that the current residents in the existing apartment building were not being forced out, but has there been any studies made to see if they are in an income group that can afford a $50.00 per month increase in rent? - Resident of Lyndale Gardens Apartments – unsupportive of using its vacant parking spaces for the following reasons: o It is private parking for apartment residents not public parking. o The apartment complex has sticker parking, no sticker the car is towed and impounded and there is a fee to remove it from the impounding lot. o If a resident of the new unit has their visitor park there, that visitor’s car will be impounded because it doesn’t have a parking sticker. o During the winter, the apartment complex has a “remove all cars for snow removal by a certain time on the scheduled date” or the car is removed and impounded. Tenants are given a notice but it isn’t going to be their responsibility to notify tenants of a separate apartment complex not affiliated with them to move their car. o There maybe a few parking spots available – but not that many because of the COVID 19 restrictions. The parking lot was virtually full and the cars parked had parking permit stickers so there really isn’t that many parking spots available. It only appears that way because of shift work and/or required travel. o On the North end and South end of the parking lot, there are visitor parking spaces but that is for apartment resident visitors not general parking. As a resident, my rent should 6/10/2020 3 allow me and other residents first choice on their use. Our visitors should have access before forced onto the street parking. - The promotion of the area along 66th St as business and the promotion of the area along 77th street as business seems a little disjointed. A business district is a cohesive area, not separate unconnected areas. Planning should go into making one of them the dominant area and the other for residential only. 2. Interactive Feedback Map Attendees could provide feedback on an interactive map of the project layout; no new feedback was received. 3. Other Pedestrian Improvements Consider sidewalks on the south side of 65th St – often see people walking on this side of the street Construction Staging Pleased about the decision to keep unobstructed access from 65th Street to the Richfield Medical Center parking lot, since it is the sole means of vehicle access. Interested to hear about plans to maintain continuous access into their parking lot during their operating hours throughout the construction period. Engagement Participant lives at Village Shores and has no computer/iPhone to be able to participate in the virtual open house. Woodlake Dr/65th St - Although marked a “private drive” it’s used as a normal, unrestricted street - Crosswalk at this intersection used by Village Shores, Woodlake Condos, City Bella, and Lakeshore residents; may make more sense to move the crosswalk more east away from the intersection and add pedestrian blinking lights on each side; doing so may require removing 1-2 parking stalls on 65th St - Traffic going west and wanting to turn onto Woodlake Dr must make an exaggerated left-hand turn. A left turn directly on to Woodlake Dr would make more sense. - Would be helpful to install warning signs on both sides of 65th St to alert motorists to Village Shores garage entrance/exit - Eliminate 1-2 on-street parking spaces near the Village Shores garage exit to improve sightlines, hard to see oncoming traffic 65th St/Pillsbury Unsupportive of turning 65th St/Pillsbury into a two-way street: o Will pose dangers to locals Maybe installing speed bumps on Pillsbury Avenue could be sufficient? Or make the intersection of 64th Street and Pillsbury Avenue a 4-way stop to avoid vehicles from driving at unnecessarily high speeds. AGENDA SECTION:OTHER BUSINESS AGENDA ITEM #7.
