AGENDA ITEM — IA <br />'It <br />-731�EN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: September 9, 2019 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br />FROM: Todd Blomstrom, Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Hamlin Avenue Crosswalks <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />$ 55,120.00 $ 55,120.00 Street Maintenance Operating Budget <br />For Council Consideration <br />City Council direction regarding delivery of potential pedestrian improvements along Hamlin <br />Avenue. <br />Backl4round <br />Two pedestrian crosswalks are located along Hamlin Avenue south of Highway 96, at the <br />intersection of Wyncrest Court and a midblock crosswalk between Indian Oaks Circle and Eide <br />Circle. Due to concerns of pedestrian safety at these locations, staff had HR Green complete an <br />analysis and provide preliminary recommendations for crossing improvements, which were <br />presented to the City Council at the January 22, 2019 work session. <br />The City Council entered into a professional services agreement with HR Green in February <br />2019 for design and preparation of construction plans for the proposed pedestrian crossing <br />improvements. HR Green has completed this design work. The project plans were revised <br />during the design process based on technical reviews with Ramsey County. <br />The final project plans are generally consistent with the recommendations provided to the City <br />Council in January 2019, with the exception of the proposed installation of Rectangular Rapid <br />Flashing Beacons (RRFB). The midblock crossing between Indian Oaks Circle and Eide Circle <br />does not meet the County's criteria for minimum pedestrian vol une to warrant the installation of <br />RRFBs. The final plans have removed the RRFBs from the project scope. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
