<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2550 University Ave. West, Suite 400N |St. Paul, MN 55105 <br /> Main 651.644.4389 + Fax 651.644.9446 <br /> <br /> HRGREEN.COM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Page 1 <br /> <br />November 8, 2018 <br /> <br />Sue Polka, PE <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1245 Hwy 96 W <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br />Subject: Arden Hills – Hamline Avenue Crosswalk Updates <br /> <br />Dear Sue, <br /> <br />The following describes the existing situation of the crosswalks on Hamline Avenue and HR Green’s <br />recommendation and approach for improving these locations of potential pedestrian and vehicle <br />conflict. <br /> <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />Currently, there are two crosswalk locations across Hamline Avenue between Wyncrest Court and Eide <br />Circle that the City of Arden Hills desires to increase the safety for pedestrian use and increase the <br />perceptibility to vehicular traffic. Hamline Avenue is a Ramsey County road that serves as a commuter <br />arterial connecting I-694 and Highway 96 with a posted speed limit 40 mph. During the morning rush <br />hour, relatively heavy volumes of traffic travel southbound and in the afternoons similar volumes are <br />returning and traveling northbound on Hamline Avenue. Entering the crosswalk can become a non- <br />ideal situation for pedestrian users as they are trying to judge gaps and the time required to cross the <br />Hamline Avenue three lane section – one thru lane in both directions and a two-way left-turn center <br />lane. In particular, during peak hours, if a pedestrian is crossing from east to west, southbound drivers <br />are not as likely to recognize the presence of pedestrians; and vice versa for northbound drivers trying <br />to recognize pedestrians traveling west to east. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
