___________________________________________________________________________________
FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director
TO: Adam R. Bell, City Manager (for February 21 work session)
DATE: February 16, 2023
SUBJECT: Discuss proposed design comments on the Blue Line Extension project
___________________________________________________________________________________
In response to previous discussions and the city’s July resolution, the Blue Line Extension has
prepared concept plans and traffic simulations for six scenarios. At the Feb. 9 work session,
the City Council reviewed concept drawings for three scenarios, #3, 4 and 5 (bold below):
1. Existing (no-build) - 6 lanes at grade, no LRT
Baseline required for the environmental review.
2. LRT with 4 lanes at grade
This was the initial concept and all parties seem to agree that it would not work
due to the intersection volumes and delays at Bass Lake Road.
3. LRT with 4 lanes, an interchange at Bass Lake Road and a third southbound lane
south of Corvallis
#3 is the concept currently preferred by the Blue Line Extension.
4. LRT with 4 lanes, at-grade with additional lanes through Bass Lake Road
intersection and a third southbound lane south of Corvallis
#4 is intended to address the Bass Lake Road intersection capacity issues
without constructing an interchange.
5. LRT with 6 lanes, at grade
#5 is an alternative requested for evaluation by the city.
6. LRT with 6 lanes and an interchange at Bass Lake Road
Both Blue Line and city staff agree that this concept would be an overdesign and
would not recommend.
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Blue Line Extension
Page 2 of 5
On March 9 the project’s Corridor Management Committee (CMC) will hear a presentation
from project staff about the Crystal scenarios. It is anticipated that project staff will state their
preference for Scenario #3 (4 lanes with interchange). However, other options will continue to
advance through the environmental review process.
City staff recommends that the City Council provide comments to the CMC on scenarios #3, 4
and 5. One way to do this would be to adopt a resolution at the March 7 City Council meeting.
Alternatively, the Council could approve a motion directing staff to prepare a letter to the CMC.
To guide staff in preparing either a resolution or letter for Council consideration on March 7,
staff requests City Council discussion of the following items and any others that
Councilmembers wish to bring up for discussion.
A. ALL SCENARIOS
1. Replacement of median landscaping being removed by the project
Replace, in new locations, the recently-installed median treatments and
landscaping which will be removed to make way for LRT (Exhibit A-1).
The county recently installed new landscaping with irrigation in the median of
Bottineau Blvd. due to the failure of the much of the landscaping installed in
the 2011-2012 reconstruction project.
These recent improvements were essential to achieving the vision for the
roadway when the reconstruction plans were approved in the late 2000s.
Because the LRT project will replace this landscaping with ballast rock, track,
LRT equipment and hardscape, landscaping of equivalent quality and quantity
should be included in the project in areas alongside the roadway.
Specific locations and designs would be determined later in the project. For
example, it may be more beneficial to concentrate the enhanced landscaping
near major intersections or adjacent to residential uses rather than in a strictly
linear fashion.
2. Wilshire Blvd. intersection
Include two left turn lanes from eastbound Wilshire Blvd. to northbound Bottineau
Blvd. (Exhibit A-2).
Due to traffic generated by vehicles leaving the park and ride facility and
limited stacking space between Lakeland Ave. and Bottineau Blvd., two left
turn lanes are needed from eastbound Wilshire Blvd. to northbound Bottineau
Blvd.
This was in the 90% plans for the previous alignment
3. 47
th Ave. intersection
Optimize intersection performance with minor adjustments to signal and
approach lanes (Exhibit A-3).
For eastbound 47th Ave. turning right to go south on Bottineau Blvd., install a
right turn green arrow to overlap with the left turn green arrow from
northbound Bottineau Blvd. to westbound 47th Ave. This will increase the
Page 3 of 5
green time for the dominant movement on that approach with no penalty to
the other approaches, except that U-turns from northbound Bottineau
Boulevard to southbound Bottineau Blvd. / TH100 would need to be
prohibited.
For westbound 47th on the east side of Bottineau Blvd., due to limited stacking
space, straighten the north side curb to create two lanes for the full distance
between Lakeland Ave. and Bottineau Blvd., designate the right lane for
straight movement or right turns, and designate the left lane only for left turns
because that is the dominant movement on this approach.
4. Bus shelters and crosswalk at Elmhurst/Bass Lake Road
Add bus shelters on Bass Lake Road at Elmhurst, modify the south curb of Bass
Lake Road, and construct an enhanced crosswalk including a median extension
with a pedestrian cut (Exhibit A-4).
Shelters for east-west buses on Bass Lake Road are needed to improve the
rider experience and facilitate transfers to and from LRT.
Elmhurst is an existing, but unmarked, crosswalk that should become more
prominent to discourage mid-block crossing. This should include an
activatable beacon to warn drivers of pedestrians crossing so they have time
to yield as required by law.
These elements were in the 90% plans for the previous alignment.
The city reserved space and aligned its trails/sidewalks to accommodate the
planned bus shelters and crosswalk in its 2018 Bass Lake Road Streetscape
and 2019-2020 Becker Park projects.
5. West Broadway jurisdictional transfer - 42
nd Ave. to Douglas Dr. segment
Complete a jurisdictional transfer agreement with the cities of Robbinsdale and
Crystal for the segment of West Broadway (CSAH 8) from 42nd Ave. (CSAH 9) to
Douglas Dr. (CSAH 102).
The county has identified this segment for jurisdictional transfer to the
respective cities (Exhibit A-5a).
The segment from Fairview Ave. south into Robbinsdale has never been
constructed to urban standards and is essentially the same rural highway it
was 80 years ago (Exhibit A-5b).
The 2040 “no build” traffic forecast shows an estimated 1,000 vehicle per day
diversion from Bottineau Blvd. to this segment of West Broadway (Exhibit A-
5c).
Additional diversion will likely occur due to the project and the lane reduction
on Bottineau Blvd. West Broadway is the primary alternate route for vehicles
avoiding congestion and delay on Bottineau Blvd.
Due to the presence of city utilities, the most practical approach would be for
the agreement to provide for a jurisdictional transfer payment to the cities in
lieu of county reconstruction. The utility reconstruction costs would be the
responsibility of the respective cities, and the actual construction work would
be completed by the respective cities after jurisdictional transfer.
Page 4 of 5
Acceptance of this jurisdictional transfer would be consistent with the adopted
policy of the city, which states: “The city would accept responsibility for this
roadway only after it is reconstructed to the city’s urban standards with
municipal consent or the county provides the city with funds to accomplish
same.” (Crystal 2040 Comprehensive Plan, p. 31)
6. Replacement of city facilities
To whatever extent the project removes existing city facilities and infrastructure,
replacement must be part of the project and not at city expense. Examples
include but are not limited to the Welcome to Crystal sign and the access route
for pedestrians and cell tower maintenance vehicles, both located near the
southwesterly quadrant of the Bass Lake Road intersection with Bottineau Blvd.
(Exhibit A-6).
7. Continue traffic counting through 2023
Conduct traffic counts in spring and fall 2023 using the same locations and
methods as in 2022.
The proposed lane reduction on Bottineau Blvd. is contrary to the traffic
forecasts used in the mid-2000s when the county determined that a 6 lane
facility was needed.
While some data suggest qualitative and quantitative traffic changes have
occurred in recent years, it is unclear whether these are temporary pandemic
effects or permanent changes.
A new set of traffic counts in spring and fall 2023 would help determine
whether a 4 lane roadway would be adequate.
B. SCENARIO #3 (4 LANES WITH INTERCHANGE)
1. Southbound on-ramp merge lane
Include a third southbound lane from the terminus of the southbound on-ramp to
approximately the same location where the third lane terminated south of
Wilshire Blvd. prior to the restriping in summer 2015 (Exhibit B-1).
2. Northbound auxiliary lane to off-ramp
Include a third northbound lane from approximately the same location where the
third lane started south of Wilshire Blvd. prior to the restriping in summer 2015 to
the beginning of the northbound off-ramp (Exhibit B-2).
3. Shoulders in the 4-lane segment
In the segment between Wilshire Blvd. and 47th Ave., include shoulders on the
roadway wherever it will be reduced to 2 lanes in one direction. This is necessary
to ensure emergency vehicles can pass through the area during periods of heavy
traffic. It is especially critical for the segment from Wilshire Blvd. to Corvallis Ave.,
because that is the city’s only grade separated crossing of the Canadian Pacific
Railway main line which sees 20-25 trains per day, some two miles in length.
Page 5 of 5
4. 3-to-4 lane “gore” at the ramp to southbound Trunk Highway 100
The project currently proposes to start a third southbound lane just south of
Corvallis Ave. to provide space for vehicles queuing in a single lane to go south
on TH100. Instead of creating a 2,000 foot long third lane for this purpose, the
project should improve the throughput to TH100 by starting the third southbound
lane much closer to 47th Ave. and allowing the middle lane to choose either
southbound Bottineau Blvd. or TH100. This change would reflect the fact that
approximately half of the southbound traffic during the peak hour exits to
southbound TH100 rather than staying on Bottineau Blvd.
C. SCENARIO #4 (4 LANES WITH ADDITIONAL LANES AT BASS LAKE ROAD)
1. Southbound lane drop
Extend the third southbound lane through the Wilshire Blvd. intersection to
approximately the same location where the third lane terminated prior to the
restriping in summer 2015 (Exhibit C-1).
2. Shoulders in the 4-lane segment
In the segment between Wilshire Blvd. and 47th Ave., include shoulders on the
roadway wherever it will be reduced to 2 lanes in one direction. This is necessary
to ensure emergency vehicles can pass through the area during periods of heavy
traffic. It is especially critical for the segment from Wilshire Blvd. to Corvallis Ave.,
because that is the city’s only grade separated crossing of the Canadian Pacific
Railway main line which sees 20-25 trains per day, some two miles in length.
3. 3-to-4 lane “gore” at the ramp to southbound Trunk Highway 100
The project currently proposes to start a third southbound lane just south of
Corvallis Ave. to provide space for vehicles queuing in a single lane to go south
on TH100. Instead of creating a 2,000 foot long third lane for this purpose, the
project should improve the throughput to TH100 by starting that third southbound
lane much closer to 47th Ave. and allowing the middle lane to choose either
southbound Bottineau Blvd. or TH100. This change would reflect the fact that
approximately half of the southbound traffic during the peak hour exits to
southbound TH100 rather than staying on Bottineau Blvd.
D. SCENARIO #5 (6 LANES)
1. 3-to-4 lane “gore” at southbound Trunk Highway 100
Rather than force all traffic exiting to southbound TH100 into a single lane,
improve the throughput to TH100 by allowing the middle lane to choose either
southbound Bottineau Blvd. or TH100. This change would reflect the fact that
approximately half of the southbound traffic during the peak hour exits to
southbound TH100 rather than staying on Bottineau Blvd.

4. Open Forum
The City Council appreciates hearing from citizens about items of concern and desires to set aside
time during each meeting for Open Forum. To provide ample opportunity for all, speaking time is
limited to three minutes and topic discussion is limited to 10 minutes. The Mayor may, as presiding
officer, extend the total time allowed for a topic. By rule, no action may be taken on any item
brought before the Council during Open Forum. The Council may place items discussed during
Open Forum onto subsequent council meeting agendas.
5. Regular Agenda

Page 2 of 2
5.2 The Council will consider a resolution appointing Council Member Kamish as Crystal’s
representative on the West Metro Fire-Rescue District Board of Directors.
Council Member LaRoche was reappointed to the West Metro Fire-Rescue District Board on
Jan. 17, 2023, for a term expiring Dec. 31, 2024, but would also be re-evaluated after one
year to try to avoid coinciding with Council terms expiring. Due to her unexpected
relocation and resultant resignation, the council needs to appoint a new representative to
the Board. It is the Mayor’s recommendation that Council Member Kamish be appointed as
the Council’s Board representative. Council Member Kamish’s term on the Board, which
would end in 2024, would not conflict with her current term on the Council.
5.3 The Council will consider a resolution commending Council Member Nancy LaRoche.
The included resolution recognizes Council Member LaRoche for her years of dedication
and service to the community and the City of Crystal. Approval is recommended.
6. Announcements

Memorandum
DATE: February 21, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Concurrence with proposed watershed boundary changes
Background
Over the last year the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission (SCWMC) has led an effort to
review all of SCWMC’s legal boundaries to confirm that they are still an accurate reflection of how
surface water actually flows. Based on this review, a fairly significant number of changes were needed
across the watershed so that the legal boundaries better match reality for surface water flow.
This is the first comprehensive review of the watershed boundaries since the original formation of
SCWMC back in 1984. Since that time a lot of drastic improvements have occurred as it relates to
topographic information, storm water asset management, and storm water modeling. In addition to
this, normal land development and redevelopment have also had changes on surface water flow,
especially right on the boundaries between watersheds.
The City of Crystal is situated in two watersheds, Shingle Creek and Bassett Creek. As anticipated, while
there are changes in the city with regards to what properties are in which watershed, these changes only
occur within a few blocks of the existing boundary. The net effect of these changes is that:
1.4 properties move from Bassett Creek watershed to Shingle Creek
2.140 properties move from Shingle Creek watershed to Bassett Creek watershed
The city is 3,757 acres, and the total acres impacted by this change is 35 (0.9%). The only financial
impact this will have on the city is that the respective dues paid to each watershed will change
proportionally. However, this impact should not be significant due to the associated changes occurring
in other surrounding cities as well. Individual property owners may experience a small change in their
property taxes, however, because the county levies these taxes on behalf of the watersheds for
projects, the amount is part of the overall county tax and not an individual line item, so it will not be
noticeable by itself.

Project: Shingle Creek Watershed Legal Boundary
Update: Municipal Concurrence
Date: February 8, 2023
Stantec Project #: 227705202
The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission (SCWMC) is in the process of updating its legal
boundary to better reflect the current hydrologic condition. SCWMC requests that the City review the
proposed boundary and take action to provide concurrence with the revision. We attached a resolution
template that may be used for concurrence by the City.
The proposed Shingle Creek Watershed boundary may be viewed at: SCWM Legal Boundary Review -
PUBLIC (arcgis.com).
The West Mississippi Watershed Management Commission (WMWMC) commonly operates in partnership
with the SCWMC. Accordingly, the WMWMC also updated their legal boundary. The SCWMC and the
WMWMC received concurrence from the three neighboring watersheds: Elm Creek Watershed
Management Commission, Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission and Mississippi Watershed
Management Organization. Their concurrence letters are attached for your reference. After municipal
concurrence, SCWMC will submit the boundary revision to the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil
Resources and to Hennepin County for updating of official property records.
Legal Boundary Update Process Summary
The Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission established the existing legal boundary after the
organization was formed in 1984 using parcels and hydrologic data present at that time. Parcel
subdivisions, topographic changes, and the construction and modification of stormwater conveyance
systems have occurred over the years. The Commission completed a review and update of the
watershed’s legal boundary to ensure the boundary better reflects today’s hydrologic conditions.
The SCWMC used the following process to define a legal boundary that most accurately reflects current
hydrologic conditions:

Municipal Concurrence Request
Page 2 of 2
Reference: 227705202
(1) Stantec used the Shingle Creek hydrologic boundary, which was updated in 2020, to delineate a
proposed boundary. Parcels were considered within the Shingle Creek Watershed legal boundary
if over 50% of the parcel area was inside the Shingle Creek hydrologic boundary.
(2) Stantec then confirmed the digitized legal boundary with a review comparing the hydrologic
boundary against stormsewer networks and hydrologic boundaries defined by neighboring
watersheds. The review also drew on input from municipal staff serving on the Technical Advisory
Committee to incorporate their specific knowledge of municipal stormsewer networks and
drainage patterns.
(3) The neighboring watersheds of Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission, Bassett Creek
Watershed Management Commission and Mississippi Watershed Management Organization
reviewed the boundary to provide further refinements and ultimately concurrence with the
proposed boundary.
Tables 1 and 2 summarize how area and parcels will change with the proposed SCWMC Legal Boundary
among the adjacent WMOs and member cities.
