in signal priority options, with each intersection evaluated based on logic and <br /> certain criteria. <br /> Ms. Roth concurred, noting that the measure would include how to achieve the <br /> most efficiency of the cycle, and how to get the most people through versus the <br /> number of vehicles, but no intentions to delay people to a great degree. <br /> At the request of Member Seigler, Mr. Culver advised that MnDOT operated <br /> signals along Snelling Avenue, and while the City could make comments and <br /> alert them to general signal timing issues, the City had no authority to impact <br /> signal timing issues, which MnDOT could implement without City approval. Due <br /> to existing capacity issues at those intersections, Mr. Culver noted that discretion <br /> was called for. <br /> Mr. Schwartz advised that City staff interacted with MnDOT on a daily basis on <br /> general traffic issues; and complaints fielded by the City and referred to them; and <br /> expressed his confidence that they would seriously consider the concerns <br /> expressed by the City to them, especially creating additional negative impacts. <br /> Further discussion included existing intersection issues at County Road B and <br /> Snelling, the need to address traffic issues at I-35W and Highway 36 to address <br /> more localized traffic issues; and how Metro Transit planned to address and <br /> reduce time looping the Rosedale Center parking lot with this BRT, with other <br /> buses continuing with their parking lot perimeter road use. <br /> Additional discussion included current routes, and whether they will continue at <br /> this time; and plans to implement a 30-minute route for Bus #84 on opening day <br /> of the BRT's 10-minute schedule; with Bus #87 planned to remain at a 20-minute <br /> frequency. <br /> Chair Stenlund asked that Ms. Roth schedule a tour for the PWETC once the <br /> station construction is initiated, perhaps at Rosedale, County Road B or Roselawn <br /> Avenue, providing a field trip for the commission to see construction as it <br /> progresses. <br /> Ms. Roth opined this was an excellent idea, and even though it would be a year <br /> from now, duly noted the request. <br /> Additional information available at: <br /> Metrotransit.org/snelling-brt <br /> Metrotransit/org/arterial-study <br /> Katie Roth, Senior Planner/Arterial BRT Project Manager <br /> 612/349-7772 --Katie/roth @matrotransit/org <br /> Recess <br /> Chair Stenlund recessed the meeting at approximately 8:01 p.m. and reconvened at <br /> approximately 8:07 p.m. <br /> Page 7 of 12 <br />
