There are a few items <br />that need to be addressed to make the crossing meet <br />MnMUTCD standards. The northeast quadrant of the <br />crosswalk does not have a receiving pedestrian ramp <br />as it should for a designated crosswalk. The <br />“pedestrian crossing” warning sign on the west side of the road is approximately 600 feet (standard is <br />500 feet) to the north in advance of the crosswalk and does not have a supplemental plaque attached. <br />The crosswalk pavement markings should match the pedestrian ramp. Bringing the crosswalk up to <br />standard configuration will help, but ultimately a change is needed to help vehicles and pedestrians <br />coexist in this urban arterial setting. <br /> <br />Mid-block Between Indian Oaks Circle and Eide Circle <br />The second crosswalk is a trail connection across Hamline Avenue north of Eide Circle on the west <br />side of Hamline and south of Indian Oaks Circle on <br />the east side of Hamline. Floral Park is on the west <br />side of Hamline Avenue and the Route 37 trail cuts <br />through the park and crosses Hamline Avenue and <br />runs to the northeast and connects with Cummings <br />Park. There are a couple of items that need to be <br />addressed to make the crossing meet MnMUTCD <br />standards. The “pedestrian crossing” warning sign on <br />the east side of the road is approximately 600 feet <br />(standard is 500 feet) to the south in advance of the <br />crosswalk and does not have a supplemental plaque <br />attached. Finally, the crosswalk width should match <br />the width of the trail and should be an 8-foot-wide <br />crossing. Bringing the crosswalk up to standard configuration will help, but ultimately a change is <br />needed to help vehicles and pedestrians coexist in this urban arterial setting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
