Bell, City Manager (for January 11 work session) SUBJECT: Blue Line Extension design update BACKGROUND On March 7, 2023 the Crystal City Council approved a comment letter from the City Manager to the Blue Line Extension (BLX) Corridor Management Committee and project staff. This letter contained specific comments on the conceptual project design and related issues. On Dec. 14, 2023 BLX staff responded with a letter that responded to the city’s design comments to varying degrees. On Jan. 2, 2024, city staff received an updated roll plot which is a draft form of the municipal consent plans expected to be finalized in July 2024 for city consideration in late summer or early fall. ATTACHMENTS A. Mar. 8, 2023 letter from city to project B. Dec. 14, 2023 response letter from project to city C. Traffic comparison table D. Station boardings and travel time estimate E. Bass Lake Road interchange - birds eye view F. Project overview (excerpts) G. Roll plot of crystal segment (excerpts on 11x17) STAFF COMMENTS ON CRITICAL ITEMS FROM MARCH LETTER Several design-related items have not been addressed in the roll plot and/or require additional evaluation and consideration prior to the city considering municipal consent: COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Blue Line Extension Design Update 1. Traffic (esp. the reduction of through lanes from six to four) Vehicular traffic volumes on the Crystal segment of Bottineau Blvd. are now back to, or slightly above, 2019 (pre-COVID) levels. In some cases they now exceed Hennepin County’s 2040 forecast. While there may be some changes that have reduced peak volumes, it is now clear that the ’new normal’ does not mean an overall reduction in volumes for the Crystal segment. City staff remain skeptical but open-minded about whether a four lane roadway would be adequate from Highway 100 to Bass Lake Road. 2. Southbound on-ramp merge lane and lane drop south of Wilshire The roll plot shows this third southbound lane ending with a forced merge immediately south of Wilshire Blvd. rather than continuing approx. 600’ south of Wilshire before merging as the city requested. The city’s request was based on the location of the third lane during 2011-2015 which we know did work in that it provided adequate distance after the Wilshire signal for drivers to merge. City staff opinion is that this change is a must-have item for the municipal consent plans. While the city’s March 8 letter also requested a third lane add on northbound Bottineau approaching Wilshire, city staff opinion is that this is less important and is an issue that could be dropped. 3. Shoulders in the 4-lane segment The Bottineau Blvd. bridge over the CPKC Railway is the only practical route for emergency vehicles, most critically the Crystal Police Dept., to travel to and from the north third of the city. The increasing number and length of freight trains on the CPKC means that this route will become even more essential for emergency response. With traffic volumes on Bottineau already at or above the 2040 forecast, the lack of shoulders to provide space so emergency vehicles can get over the bridge during times of congested traffic is a critical issue for the community. City staff opinion is that shoulders between Corvallis and Wilshire are a must-have item for the municipal consent plans. While the same traffic concerns exist south of Corvallis, West Broadway provides an alternate route unencumbered by CPKC freight trains, so city staff opinion is that shoulders on Bottineau would not be as important between Corvallis and Hwy. 100. 4. 3-to-4 lane ‘gore’ at the ramp to southbound Highway 100 Approximately half of the southbound traffic on Bottineau Blvd. exits to southbound Hwy. 100 but the existing lane assignments are imbalanced in that there are two lanes to continue on Bottineau but just one lane to get onto 100. The roll plot shows a third southbound lane starting at 49th Ave. to provide space for vehicles queuing to go south on 100. This is inadequate given that the queue often extends as far north as 50th Ave. meaning that the third lane would need to start there. Instead of creating a 2,000 foot long third lane for this purpose, the project should solve the underlying cause of the problem by starting the third lane closer to 47th and allowing the middle lane to choose either Bottineau or 100, leading to two lanes for each option thus matching actual traffic patterns. There is plenty of existing road right-of-way to accommodate this change. City staff opinion is that this is a must-have item for the municipal consent plans. 5. West Broadway jurisdictional transfer Hennepin County and the cities of Robbinsdale and Crystal all have policies supporting the jurisdictional transfer from the county to each respective city of the segment of West Broadway from 42nd Ave. to Douglas Dr. The segment from Fairview Ave. south into Robbinsdale has never been constructed by the county to urban standards and is essentially the same rural highway it was 80 years ago. The 2040 “no build” traffic forecast shows an estimated 1,000 vehicle per day diversion from Bottineau Blvd. to this segment of West Broadway. Additional diversion will likely occur due to the project’s proposed lane reduction on Bottineau because West Broadway is the primary alternate route for vehicles avoiding congestion and delay. Due to the presence of city utilities which will need replacement in the coming years, the most practical approach would be for a jurisdictional transfer agreement to provide for a payment from the county to the cities in lieu of the county reconstructing West Broadway to urban standards. The concurrent utility reconstruction costs and actual construction work would be the responsibility of the cities after jurisdictional transfer. Staff from the county and both cities met in May to discuss this issue but the cities are still waiting for a proposal from the county. City staff opinion is that a jurisdictional transfer agreement including a binding financial commitment from the county must be in place prior to municipal consent. STAFF COMMENTS ON OTHER ITEMS The following comments are based on a cursory review of the latest roll plot which the city just received. These comments are not intended to cover all potential issues as this review will continue in the coming weeks. 1. The roll plots show different speeds (‘Existing’, Design’, and ‘Posted’) and it would be helpful for the project to explain what they mean by these terms in each respective location. For example, south of Wilshire, is the project proposing a posted speed limit of 40 mph despite a design speed of 45 mph? 2. If a Traction Power Substation (TPSS) would be located on city property on the west side of Bottineau near Fairview Ave., screening and buffering from adjacent residential uses will need to be addressed by the project, as it was for the TPSS proposed at 60th & Elmhurst Ave. in the previous version of the project. The same concerns would need to be addressed for any other TPSS locations to be determined. 3. If proposed stormwater treatment facilities supplant existing landscaping that provides screening and buffering of the roadway, mitigation of this lost screening and buffering will need to be addressed by the project. 4. The proposed access change at Elmhurst Ave. (no left turn from southbound Elmhurst to eastbound Bass Lake Road) would improve safety and provide traffic calming on Bass Lake Road, which has an especially bad speed compliance issue, by reducing the amount of wide-open pavement and eliminating a challenging and dangerous traffic movement at that intersection. However, this change has not been previously discussed with the community or the City Council. City staff opinion is that this change would improve not only traffic safety at the Elmhurst intersection but also pedestrian safety for the new crosswalk. 5. The transition from the proposed path on the south side of Bass Lake Road to the bike lanes which begin at Yates Ave. is shown on the plans with no additional right-of-way acquisition and only a slight westward shift (½ block) of the merge point for eastbound Bass Lake Road. It also incorporates a left turn lane to northbound Zane Ave. which would be a safety improvement compared with existing conditions. City staff support these changes. 6. The Bottineau Blvd. access to and from Airport Road would be removed and supplanted by an exit-only slip ramp from Bottineau to the frontage road just north of Airport Road. Project staff indicated that this change is necessary due to the short distance between the end of the northbound on-ramp from Bass Lake Road to the right turn at Airport Road and the need to provide more distance for weaving movements by vehicles merging onto Bottineau or exiting at Airport Road. City staff is unconvinced that this change improves safety because it provides only a marginal increase in space between the entrance and the exit. The project needs to discuss this change with affected businesses, residents, the Metropolitan Airports Commission and City Council before further pursuing this change. COUNCIL DISCUSSION REQUESTED After the project team presents the updated roll plot at the Jan. 11 work session, Council feedback is requested on the critical items from the March 8 letter and other items identified in this report, plus any other items that arise in discussion. City staff will work with the project team to refine the plans prior to a community open house meeting at the Crystal Community Center on Thursday, Mar. 7 from 5-8 p.m. The project expects to finalize municipal consent plans in July 2024 for city consideration. 4141 Douglas Drive North • Crystal, Minnesota 55422-1696 Tel: (763) 531-1000 • Fax: (763) 531-1188 • www.crystalmn.gov March 8, 2023 Christine Beckwith Project Director METRO Blue Line Extension 6465 Wayzata Blvd #500 St Louis Park MN 55426 Subject: City of Crystal design comments on the METRO Blue Line Extension Dear Ms. Beckwith: Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the preliminary design concepts for the proposed METRO Blue Line Extension light rail transit project. The city appreciates the work of project staff to prepare these concepts and traffic simulations for review and comment by the city, its residents, businesses and other stakeholders in the community. The six scenarios are as follows: 1.Existing (no-build) - 6 lanes at grade, no LRT #1 is the baseline scenario required for the environmental review. 2.LRT with 4 lanes at grade #2 was the initial concept. Blue Line Extension project staff and city staff would not recommend this scenario due to its impact on vehicular travel. 3.LRT with 4 lanes, interchange at Bass Lake Road and a third southbound lane south of Corvallis #3 is the concept currently preferred by the Blue Line Extension project staff. 4.LRT with 4 lanes, at-grade with additional lanes at Bass Lake Road and a third southbound lane south of Corvallis #4 is intended to address the Bass Lake Road intersection capacity issues without constructing an interchange. ATTACHMENT A 5.LRT with 6 lanes, at grade #5 would create space for LRT and maintain the same road capacity that exists today. 6.LRT with 6 lanes and an interchange at Bass Lake Road Blue Line Extension project staff and city staff agree that #6 would be an overdesign and would not recommend this scenario. Because scenarios #3, 4 and 5 are the most realistic alternatives for construction of LRT in the corridor, the Crystal City Council has directed city staff to provide the following comments on those scenarios. The purpose of these comments is to assist Blue Line Extension project staff with refinements to these scenarios as work continues on the environmental review and municipal consent processes. 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 much of the landscaping installed in the 2011-2012 roadway reconstruction project. •These recent improvements were essential to achieving the “parkway” 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 3.47th 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 ATTACHMENT A westbound 47th Ave. This will increase the 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 may 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 refuge (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 - 42nd 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. •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 ATTACHMENT A 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.Maintain and improve bicycle and pedestrian connections and safety in the vicinity of the Bass Lake Road intersection •Preserve the existing access route for pedestrians and cell tower maintenance vehicles from the southwesterly quadrant of the Bass Lake Road intersection to the proposed park and ride. (Exhibit A-6a.) •Include at-grade pedestrian enhancements similar to those previously planned by Hennepin County in its 2016 Blue Line Extension Bicycle Study and construction project #1615 which did not proceed. (Exhibit A-6b.) •Extend the off-street trail on the south side of Bass Lake Road from Bottineau Blvd. east to the vicinity of Xenia Ave. and transition to the existing on-street bike lanes in that area. 7.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, city-owned roadway lighting, and landscaping installed during reconstruction of Bottineau Blvd. in 2011-2012. 8.Preventing access to the track zones The track zones north and south of Bass Lake Road may invite unauthorized pedestrian travel or other dangerous activity. This is especially concerning in the interchange scenario due to the confined spaces between the raised roadway embankments north and south of the Bass Lake Road station. The project needs to include fencing and other design elements to make it intuitively clear that these areas are dangerous and access is prohibited. These design elements need to go beyond “keep out” and “danger” signs and need to include physical barriers and design cues wherever practical. 9.Public Safety The current and ongoing safety issues for patrons and employees on the Metro Transit system have been widely reported and documented. Residents and business owners in Crystal continue to express their concerns. Presuming that these safety issues are successfully addressed by Metro Transit before the Blue Line Extension begins operating, the design of the Bass Lake Road station, park and ride facility and adjacent infrastructure must minimize the opportunity for future public safety problems to develop. For the project to be successful, Metro Transit must include design elements in the area of the station and park and ride that are consistent with the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). The city’s particular concern is that, despite Metro Transit having its own police department, as a practical matter it is the Crystal Police Department that will be the first responder to most calls in and around the Bass Lake Road station. ATTACHMENT A 10.Bus Service Enhancements Crystal acknowledges that Metro Transit is already planning to evaluate its bus routes and operations as part of the Blue Line Extension project development. The city requests that this evaluation strengthen suburban bus service, particularly by improving east-west connections to the light rail stations and also complementary north-south routes where applicable. 11.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 show that 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.Double left turn lanes on the northbound off-ramp Add a second left turn lane from the northbound off-ramp to westbound Bass Lake Road while preserving the right turn lane to eastbound Bass Lake Road. This would improve throughput from the northbound off-ramp and allow less red time or more green time on the other approaches. This is especially important for westbound Bass Lake Road which would experience substantially greater delays with the interchange option as currently proposed. 4.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 Bottineau Blvd. provides 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. ATTACHMENT A 5. 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 Bottineau Blvd. provides 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. CI.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. ATTACHMENT A The city looks forward to continuing to work with the project staff on this important project.

Delivering any project of this scale and complexity requires close partnership and local expertise from City leaders. Your input has helped shape design plans as reflected in this letter and your continued partnership will be critical as we refine designs and work through environmental review and municipal consent processes. This letter aims to directly address comments provided by the City of Crystal (City) in a letter sent March 8, 2023. The following 6 conceptual design alternatives (“scenarios”) were developed for City review: 1.Existing (no-build) – 6 Lanes at grade, no Light Rail Transit (LRT) 2.LRT with 4 lanes at grade 3.LRT with 4 lanes, interchange at Bass Lake Road (BLR) and a third southbound lane south of Corvallis 4.LRT with 4 lanes, at-grade with additional lanes at BLR and a third southbound lane south of Corvallis 5.LRT with 6 lanes, at-grade 6.LRT with 6 lanes and an interchange at BLR City comments focused on Scenarios 3, 4, and 5, as they are viewed by the City as the most realistic alternatives for the CR 81 corridor. As design and planning has progressed with City input since March, Scenario 3 is now the project-recommended design concept and is being reflected in the draft 30% Municipal Consent layouts. The scenarios are high-level design concepts with ample opportunity for refinement as work progresses. The project team is committed to continuing to work alongside the City throughout the process to achieve the best design solutions possible at each stage of project development. A.All Scenarios ATTACHMENT B METRO Blue Line LRT Extension (BLE) 6465 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 500, St. Louis Park, MN 55426 www.bluelineext.org In all scenarios, it is proposed to reconstruct CR 81 to accommodate center-running LRT. As a result, some documented concerns from the City related to all scenarios. 1. Replacement of median landscaping being removed by the project a.Planning for green space and landscaping details will be determined at a future phase of design in coordination with City staff. The project appreciates the “parkway” vision for this roadway and is committed to advancing it as part of the project, including by providing landscaping of equivalent or greater quality and quantity. 2. Wilshire Blvd. Intersection a.Design has been modified to maintains two left turn lanes from EB Wilshire to NB CR81. 3. 47th Ave. Intersection a.Specific operational comments noted by the City, including an eastbound right turn overlap phase, are helpful and have been noted for incorporation in future design phases. Signal design will consider ways to optimize intersection performance at this location and will be closely evaluated at the appropriate design stage. 4. Bus Shelters and Crosswalk at Elmhurst/Bass Lake Road a.Project team has been working with the City to develop a concept to improve the existing bus stop on Bass Lake Road at Elmhurst and a mid-block pedestrian crossing and is committed to incorporating this as part of the BLE project. 5. West Broadway Jurisdictional Transfer – 42nd Ave. to Douglas Dr. Segment a.We recognize this is an important priority for the cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale. While this process will occur outside of the BLE project and will be discussed separately between the County and the impacted municipalities, we understand there is a shared commitment to pursue this in coordination with the project timeline. 6. Maintain and Improve Bicycle and Pedestrian Connections and Safety in the Vicinity of the Bass Lake Road Intersection a.A guiding principle of the BLE project is to provide safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle access, particularly in station locations. The Bass Lake Road station area and intersection design will continue to be refined in partnership with the City to incorporate pedestrian safety and mobility in this area, including at-grade pedestrian enhancements previously planned by Hennepin County in the 2016 Blue Line Extension Bicycle Study and construction project #1615. b.Cell tower access will be maintained. c.Crystal Lake Regional Trail will be maintained as a low stress route. d.The BLE project will connect the bike lanes on Bass Lake Road between CR10 and Xenia. 7. Replacement of City Facilities a.Any existing City facilities directly impacted by this project will be relocated/replaced in kind at project cost. These impacts will be defined and addressed in future phases of design. 8. Preventing Access to the Track Zones ATTACHMENT B METRO Blue Line LRT Extension (BLE) 6465 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 500, St. Louis Park, MN 55426 www.bluelineext.org a.Specific concerns about safety and pedestrian access to track zones north and south of Bass Lake Road are noted and will be addressed in future design phases in consultation with the City. Metro Transit will define specific treatments to prevent access to track zones in coordination with first responders and staff based on CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) standards. Specific solutions will be defined in future phases of design. 9. Public Safety a.Metro Transit continues to enhance programs and policies concerning public safety systemwide and has an established Safety & Security Action Plan that is being implemented. Investments have been made in increased staffing, surveillance and communication tools, and programs like Our Text for Safety. More information can be found at: metrotransit.org/public-safety. b.Ensuring all future riders and neighbors of the Blue Line Extension feel safe and welcome is a priority for the project. We agree that station and park and ride design elements must be thoughtful in supporting safety and security through the built environment. The project will be designed in close accordance with CPTED standards, with input from local jurisdictions and stakeholders like the Crystal Police Department. 10. Bus Service Enhancements a.Metro Transit service planning is currently engaged in the BLE project and changes to existing routes will continue to be refined as the design progresses. Preliminary modifications to bus routes will be incorporated into ridership models in early 2024 and will have opportunity for modification throughout the design phase. 11. Continue Traffic Counting Through 2023 a.Traffic counts have been gathered in spring and fall of 2023. B. Scenario #3 (4-Lanes with Interchange at BLR) 1. Southbound On-Ramp Merge Lane a.The project includes a third southbound lane in this location. 2. Northbound Auxiliary Lane to Off-Ramp a.Traffic modeling and analysis does not support the need for a northbound auxiliary lane south of Wilshire in the proposed interchange condition. 3. Double Left Turn Lanes on the Northbound Off-Ramp a.Traffic modeling and analysis does support dual left turn lanes at the northbound off-ramp. This has been incorporated into the current design. 4. Shoulders in the 4-Lane Segment a.In response to City feedback, project staff reevaluated this segment. There is a strong desire to construct the roadway and LRT within the existing curb lines whenever possible. The width between existing curbs in this area is variable. At the narrowest points it is 26 feet wide, which allows for a cross section with two lanes in each direction without shoulders. Where there is more width between existing curbs, including between Wilshire Blvd. and Corvallis Ave., we would maintain this extra width as buffer for emergency vehicles that varies along the segment. We will continue to work with the City to advance an optimal design for this segment. ATTACHMENT B METRO Blue Line LRT Extension (BLE) 6465 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 500, St. Louis Park, MN 55426 www.bluelineext.org b.Design through the full alignment will include adequate width to allow emergency vehicles to pass during busy periods and be designed to Hennepin County and State Aid standards. c.The bridge across CP Rail does include additional shoulder space. 5. 3-to-4 Lane “Gore” at the Ramp to Southbound Trunk Highway 100 a.The project team has recently identified design concepts that allow for a 3-to-4 lane “gore” at the southbound ramp onto highway 100. Implementation of these concepts will require review and approval by project partners, including MnDOT. Project staff will convene jurisdictional partners to determine and advance the best solution to ensure efficient traffic flow during peak hours. C.

Closing We greatly appreciate your continued partnership and thoughtful engagement with the project. As reflected in this letter, your feedback has substantively helped advance and improve design. Many of your suggestions have been directly incorporated into project plans. While additional coordination and design work is needed to implement others, we are confident your stated priorities and concerns can be adequately addressed. We are committed to full transparency and collaborative problem solving as we continue working together to advance this project and maximize the many benefits of light rail for the residents, business, and visitors of Crystal. We appreciate the opportunity to understand and address your priorities and concerns now and in future phases as we continue to work with you to advance design toward Municipal Consent plans.

Bell, City Manager (for January 11 meeting) DATE: January 4, 2024 RE: Discuss Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance __________________________________________________________________________ A. BACKGROUND Staff is requesting that the City Council discuss the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance recently adopted by the Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB). The JAZB was formed in 2021 by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) to update the Crystal airport ordinance adopted in 1983. The JAZB consisted of MAC staff and representatives from the cities of Crystal, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, New Hope, Robbinsdale and Minneapolis. A public hearing was held by MAC on the proposed ordinance on April 19, 2023. After approval by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the ordinance was adopted by the JAZB in November and went into effect on January 1, 2024. Attachments: A. Airport zoning requirements in state statutes B. Excerpt from FAA rules C. Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance D. Grid map E. Memorandum from city attorney Troy Gilchrist COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Discuss Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance DISCUSS CRYSTAL AIRPORT ZONING ORDINANCE PAGE 2 OF 4 B. ADMINISTRATION OF ORDINANCE The six cities that comprised the JAZB are tasked with administering the new airport ordinance. Two issues that received the most discussion during the JAZB approval process related to removal of trees and requirements for new structures. These two issues are discussed below.  Tree removal. The ordinance requires those trees that project into airspace to be trimmed or removed, and allows the city to order the removal. Since the ordinance language is permissive and doesn’t require the city to order removal of trees on private property, the city would not enforce the tree provisions. MAC may do so as it has in the past without city involvement.  New structure requirements. There was concern during the ordinance adoption process that new structures would have to undergo a burdensome review process. The city has two tools for determining the impact of new structures:  Grid maps. The ordinance provides grid maps (attachment D) that list the maximum height of a structure for each property within zone 2 (within approximately 1 mile of the airport) that in most cases can be constructed without additional review by MAC or the FAA as long as they do not exceed the height for that specific property.  FAA online tool. For a small number of projects, an online tool is available that will clarify if FAA review is needed. This tool reviews a larger area around the airport for conflicts with reflectivity and signal interference for an area up to 4 miles and at a greater slope than those used to calculate the maximum height in the grid maps. Staff has determined that in nearly all cases involving properties in the R-1 zoning district and in zone 2, no additional review by MAC or the FAA would be required. The following flowcharts are provided to clarify the review process. 1. Rooftop solar panels. Rooftop solar panels No additional review by MAC or FAA is required DISCUSS CRYSTAL AIRPORT ZONING ORDINANCE PAGE 3 OF 4 Or 2. Structures not needing additional review. Or And 3. Structures that may need further review. And Structure does not exceed height of other structures on the property Structure is shielded from the airport by a natural or manmade object Structure does not exceed the maximum structure height on the grid maps No additional review by MAC or FAA is required Structure exceeds height of other structures on the property Structure is not shielded from the property by a natural or manmade object FAA’s online tool determines if further FAA review is needed FAA tool determines form 7460 must be submitted for FAA review FAA tool determines that structure does not impact airport DISCUSS CRYSTAL AIRPORT ZONING ORDINANCE PAGE 4 OF 4 C. OPTIONS FOR ORDINANCE INCORPORATION City attorney Troy Gilchrist has advised staff that state law does not mandate that the city incorporate the airport ordinance into the city code. However since staff will be administering the ordinance, it would be wise for the City Council to take some official action to affirm the city’s role in administering the airport ordinance according to the state statute. There are two options to accomplish this goal: 1. Ordinance as appendix (recommended option). City code section 110.09 allows the City Council to direct that special ordinances be included as an appendix to the city code. The airport ordinance would be included by a City Council resolution. However, as required by state statute, the zoning map will need to be updated to reflect the two airport zones through a public hearing process. 2. Public hearing process. The City Council has the option of adopting the ordinance into the city’s regulations (Unified Development Code - chapter 5 of the city code) through a public hearing process. This would involve a public hearing by the Planning Commission followed by adoption of an ordinance by the City Council. MAC has advised the five cities that since the ordinance has already by adopted by the JAZB, no changes can be made to the ordinance without going through the JAZB public hearing process again. D. REQUESTED ACTION Staff recommends option #1 in section C, above. A resolution could be prepared for February 6th to include the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance as an appendix to the city code. 360.063 AIRPORT ZONING; AUTHORITY, PROCEDURE. Subdivision 1.Enforcement under police power.(a) In order to prevent the creation or establishment of airport hazards, every municipality having an airport hazard area within its territorial limits may, unless a joint airport zoning board is permitted under subdivision 3, adopt, amend from time to time, administer, and enforce, under the police power and in the manner and upon the conditions hereinafter prescribed, airport zoning regulations for such airport hazard area, which regulations may divide such area into zones, and, within such zones, specify the land uses permitted and regulate and restrict the height to which structures and trees may be erected or allowed to grow. (b)In order to promote health, safety, order, convenience, prosperity, and general welfare and to conserve property values and encourage the most appropriate use of land, the municipality may regulate in airport hazard areas: (1) land use; (2) height restrictions; (3) the location, size, and use of buildings; and (4) the density of population. (c) The powers granted by this subdivision may be exercised by metropolitan airports commissions in contiguous cities of the first class in and for which they have been created. (d) In the case of airports owned or operated by the state of Minnesota such powers shall be exercised by the state airport zoning boards or by the commissioner of transportation as authorized herein. Subd. 2.[Repealed, 1976 c 255 s 6] Subd. 3.Joint airport zoning board.(a) Where an airport is owned or controlled by a municipality and an airport hazard area appertaining to the airport is located within the territorial limits of another county or municipality, the municipality owning or controlling the airport may request a county or municipality in which an airport hazard area is located: (1) to adopt and enforce airport zoning regulations for the area in question under sections 360.0655 and 360.0656; or (2) to join in creating a joint airport zoning board pursuant to paragraph (b). The owning or controlling municipality shall determine which of these actions it shall request, except as provided in paragraph (e) for the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The request shall be made by certified mail to the governing body of each county and municipality in which an airport hazard area is located. (b) Where an airport is owned or controlled by a municipality and an airport hazard area appertaining to the airport is located within the territorial limits of another county or municipality, the municipality owning or controlling the airport and the county or other municipality within which the airport hazard area is located may, by ordinance or resolution duly adopted, create a joint airport zoning board, which board shall have the same power to adopt, administer, and enforce airport zoning regulations applicable to the airport hazard area in question as that vested by subdivision 1 in the municipality within which the area is located. A joint board shall have as members two representatives appointed by the municipality owning or controlling the airport and two from the county or municipality, or in case more than one county or municipality is involved two from each county or municipality, in which the airport hazard is located, and in addition a chair elected by a majority of the members so appointed. All members shall serve at the pleasure of their respective appointing authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if the owning and controlling municipality is a city of the first class it shall appoint four members to the board, and the chair of the board shall be elected from the membership of the board. (c) If a county or municipality, within 60 days of receiving a request from an owning or controlling municipality pursuant to paragraph (a), fails to adopt, or thereafter fails to enforce, the zoning regulations Official Publication of the State of Minnesota Revisor of Statutes 360.063MINNESOTA STATUTES 20221 Attachment A or fails to join in creating a joint airport zoning board, the owning or controlling municipality, or a joint airport zoning board created without participation by the subdivisions which fail to join the board, may itself adopt, administer, and enforce airport zoning regulations for the airport hazard area in question. In the event of conflict between the regulations and airport zoning regulations adopted by the county or municipality within which the airport hazard area is located, section 360.064, subdivision 2, applies. (d) "Owning or controlling municipality," as used in this subdivision, includes: (1) a joint airport operating board created pursuant to section 360.042 that has been granted all the powers of a municipality in zoning matters under the agreement creating the board; (2) a joint airport operating board created pursuant to section 360.042 that has not been granted zoning powers under the agreement creating the board; provided that the board shall not itself adopt zoning regulations nor shall a joint airport zoning board created at its request adopt zoning regulations unless all municipalities that created the joint operating board join to create the joint zoning board; and (3) the Metropolitan Airports Commission established and operated pursuant to chapter 473. (e) The Metropolitan Airports Commission shall request creation of one joint airport zoning board for each airport operated under its authority. Subd. 4.MS 2018 [Repealed, 1Sp2019 c 3 art 3 s 140] Subd. 5.[Repealed, 1976 c 255 s 6] Subd. 6.Procedure when zoning board fails to act.If a municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board fails to adopt within a reasonable time airport zoning regulations in accordance with the provisions of sections 360.011 to 360.076, or adopts regulations or amendments which do not conform to the standard prescribed by the commissioner, the commissioner may, for the protection of the public safety, adopt or supplement and from time to time as may be necessary amend, supplement, or repeal the regulations for the municipality or county until airport zoning rules provided for in sections 360.011 to 360.076, are adopted by the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board. The commissioner shall have the same powers with reference to the airport zoning regulations as are granted in sections 360.011 to 360.076, to municipalities, administrative boards, and boards of adjustment. An action of the commissioner taken under this subdivision is subject to review by the courts as provided in section 360.072. Subd. 6a.Review of variance when board of adjustment fails to act.On receiving notice that an airport zoning variance has been granted by reason of the failure of a board of adjustment to act on the variance as provided in section 360.067, subdivision 2, the commissioner shall review the application and may amend or rescind the variance on finding that this action is required to protect the public safety. No action of the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall be effective unless the commissioner notifies the applicant of that action within 60 days after receiving notice that the variance was granted. Any action taken by the commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall be subject to review by the courts as provided in section 360.072. Subd. 7.Airport zoning board for each airport.(a) Where an airport is owned or operated by the state of Minnesota, a state airport zoning board shall be created for each airport, which board shall have the same power to adopt, administer, and enforce airport zoning rules applicable to the airport hazard area of such airport as that vested by subdivision 1 in the municipality. Each board shall consist of the commissioner of transportation, or a member of staff appointed by the commissioner, who shall be chair; one member appointed by the county board who may be a member of the county board, of each county in which an airport hazard area is located; and one member appointed by the governing body of each municipality located within the Official Publication of the State of Minnesota Revisor of Statutes 2MINNESOTA STATUTES 2022360.063 area to be zoned. If the area to be zoned is located entirely within one county and no municipality is located within the area to be zoned, then the duly designated members shall select a third member who shall be a resident of the county. The members of such board shall serve for a period of three years beginning January 1 following their appointment and until their successors are appointed and qualified. (b) The zoning rules shall be adopted by an order of the board signed by a majority of its members. Such order shall be published once in a legal newspaper in the county in which the airport is located and shall become effective ten days following the date of its publication. A copy of such order shall be filed in the office of the commissioner of transportation and with the county recorder in each county in which a zoned area is located. (c) Any person appointed to serve on a state airport zoning board shall be entitled to reimbursement for travel and other necessary expenses incurred in performance of duties on such board which shall be paid from the appropriations made to the Department of Transportation. Subd. 8.Airport zoning board authority after failure to appoint member.If any county board or municipality fails to appoint the member to be appointed by it in the creation of a state airport zoning board within 30 days after requested to do so by the commissioner of transportation, the state airport zoning board, consisting of the remaining members in case more than one county is involved, or the commissioner of transportation in case no board is created, shall have the same power to adopt, administer, and enforce airport zoning rules applicable to an airport hazard area in such county as that conferred upon the commissioner in subdivision 6.

Subdivision 1.Comprehensive regulations.In the event that a municipality has adopted, or hereafter adopts, a comprehensive zoning ordinance regulating, among other things the height of buildings, any airport zoning regulations applicable to the same area or portion thereof must be incorporated by reference or incorporated in and made a part of such comprehensive zoning regulations and be administered and enforced in connection therewith. Subd. 2.Effect when regulations conflict.In the event of conflict between any airport zoning regulations adopted under sections 360.011 to 360.076, and any other regulations applicable to the same area, whether the conflict be with respect to the height of structures or trees, the use of land, or any other matter, and whether such other regulations were adopted by the municipality which adopted the airport zoning regulations or by some other municipality, the more stringent limitation or requirement shall govern and prevail. History: 1945 c 303 s 27; 1978 c 674 s 58; 1Sp2019 c 3 art 3 s 96 Official Publication of the State of Minnesota Revisor of Statutes 360.064MINNESOTA STATUTES 20231 360.065 AIRPORT ZONING; ADOPTION AND APPROVAL OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS. Subdivision 1.Notice of proposed zoning regulations, hearing.(a) No airport zoning regulations shall be adopted, amended, or changed under sections 360.011 to 360.076, except by action of the governing body of the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board under section 360.0655 or 360.0656, or the boards provided for in section 360.063, subdivisions 3 and 7, or by the commissioner as provided in section 360.063, subdivisions 6 and 8. (b) A public hearing must be held on the airport zoning regulations proposed by a municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board before they are submitted to the commissioner for approval. If any changes that alter the regulations placed on a parcel of land are made to the proposed airport zoning regulations after the initial public hearing, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board must hold a second public hearing before final adoption of the regulation. The commissioner may require a second hearing as determined necessary. (c) Notice of a hearing must be published by the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board at least three times during the period between 15 days and five days before the hearing in an official newspaper and in a second newspaper designated by that authority which has a wide general circulation in the area affected by the proposed regulations and posted on the municipality's, county's, or joint airport zoning board's website. If there is not a second newspaper of wide general circulation in the area that the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board can designate for the notice, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board is only required to publish the notice once in the official newspaper of the jurisdiction. The notice shall not be published in the legal notice section of a newspaper. The notice must specify the time, location, and purpose of the hearing, and must identify any additional location and time the proposed regulations will be available for public inspection. A copy of the published notice must be added to the record of the proceedings. (d) Notice of a hearing must be given by mail at least ten days before each hearing to persons and landowners where the location or size of a building, or the density of population, will be regulated. Mailed notice must also be provided at least ten days before each hearing to persons or municipalities that have previously requested such notice from the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board. The notice must specify the time, location, and purpose of the hearing, and must identify any additional location and time the proposed regulations will be made available for public inspection. Mailed notice must also identify the property affected by the regulations. For the purpose of providing mailed notice, the municipality, county, or joint airport zoning board may use any appropriate records to determine the names and addresses of owners. A copy of the notice and a list of the owners and addresses to which the notice was sent must be added to the records of the proceedings. Failure to provide mailed notice to individual property owners or a defect in the notice does not invalidate the proceedings if a bona fide attempt to comply with this subdivision was made.

You also asked me to comment on the tree removal portion of the Ordinance. •Make the Ordinance Available. Because several City residents are subject to these regulations, and the City is required to administer them, I recommend the City place the regulations in a location the public can readily access them. There is a presumption that the public is aware of the regulations they are subject to, but the City should make them reasonably accessible to those who own property near the airport. •Options to Incorporate. The two primary ways of incorporating the regulations into the City Code are to (1) adopt an ordinance to amend them into the Uniform Development Code; or (2) attach the Ordinance as an appendix to the City Code. Primarily for logistical reasons, I do not recommend attempting to amend the Ordinance provisions into the UDC. Instead, I recommend the City consider adding the Ordinance as an appendix to the City Code. Under Crystal city code, subsection 110.09 the “city council may direct that special ordinances and others be included in appendices to this Crystal city code.” It would be a simple matter of placing a resolution on the consent agenda directing that the Ordinance be added as an appendix. The resolution would include language about how the Ordinance was adopted and that the City is required by law to administer it. The table of contents for Chapter V (UDC) could then be expanded to refer to the appendix. This addition to the UDC index would not require an ordinance amendment. •Zoning Map. If the City’s current zoning map does not show the airport safety zones, it should be amended to include them. Under Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 1i, “[a]irport safety zones must be included on maps that illustrate boundaries of zoning districts and that are Attachment E CR205-30-925407.v1 adopted as official controls.” Amending the zoning map is considered a zoning amendment and so will need to go through the ordinance amendment process. • Tree Removal. Trees are addressed under the height restrictions provision of the Ordinance. Trees are not allowed to extend into the Airspace Surface around the airport. If the FAA determines a tree is in violation and is an Airport Hazard, “the Zoning Administrator may issue an order in writing for the owner or owners, agent or occupant of the property upon which such hazardous tree is located, to forthwith cause such hazardous tree, or portion thereof if the removal of a portion will remove the hazard, to be taken down and removed.” (emphasis added). The use of may in the sentence provide the City some discretion in determining whether to issue an order, but choosing not to issue an order when the FAA has declared a tree a hazard would likely create issues for airport. ___________________________________________________________________________ FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director DATE: January 4, 2024 TO: Adam R. Bell, City Manager (for January 11 work session) SUBJECT: Blue Line Anti-Displacement policies/programs In 2022 the Blue Line Extension project formed an Anti-Displacement Working Group (ADWG) comprised of representatives from stakeholders and communities along the proposed route including the City of Crystal. The University of Minnesota’s Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) led this effort under contract for Hennepin County. More information about the ADWG can be found at: https://mybluelineext.org/anti-displacement In May 2023 CURA completed its Anti-Displacement Recommendations report. CURA’s Executive Summary and Full Report are available online Since then, staff from Crystal, Robbinsdale, Brooklyn Park, Minneapolis, Hennepin County and Metro Transit have had several discussions about next steps and implementation of each jurisdiction’s particular policies and programs. All parties understand that policies and programs will be different between jurisdictions, and for Crystal and Robbinsdale, much less extensive compared to Brooklyn Park and (especially) Minneapolis. The purpose of the January 11 work session is to provide the City Council with an update and seek direction on attachments A and B:  Attachment A is CURA’s recommended policies and programs with Crystal staff comments in color italics. Staff requests Council review of the comments and affirm that is comfortable with those comments or direct staff to reconsider one or more of the items. These comments are essentially the same as what staff presented to the City Council at its Sep. 8, 2022 and May 11, 2023 work sessions.  Attachment B: Hennepin County prepared a general legislative platform but all jurisdictions understand that not all of them would agree with all of these items. The county’s legislative platform should be considered a menu from which each jurisdiction can identify items for its own legislative agenda. Staff requests Council discussion of the attachment and direction as to what, if anything, the city should request from our legislative delegation.

They reflect the dynamic nature of the legisla�ve and policy advocacy process. They are a transla�on of policy statements developed by the An�-Displacement Working Group directed at local governments. They are those items the group iden�fied where local government lacks either the legal authority or adequate funding. The aforemen�oned statements seek state (and some federal) par�cipa�on in the local implementa�on of an�-displacement policies and programs. Please select, adapt, and adopt. Select • Choose policies consistent with exis�ng or sought authority of your local government. • Consider selec�ng policies that might be more appropriate for another local government but that would benefit por�ons of the corridor not in your jurisdic�on but that would benefit users of the system. • Envision new authority that could be policy op�ons regardless of level of jurisdic�onal leadership choice so that op�ons for subsequent adop�on/use are available. • Consider legisla�ve pla�orm statements regardless of whether your jurisdic�on would lead in its pursuit or support the work of other jurisdic�ons in leading the pursuit/lobbying/advocacy. Adapt • Adapt, alter, or otherwise modify pla�orm statements to fit your core values, scope of services, and demographics. • Overlay your strategic plans, budget priori�es, and service gaps over pla�orm statements so that your modifica�ons are custom tailored to your community, if proposed language is insufficient. ATTACHMENT B • While all jurisdic�onal partners are within Hennepin County and the proposed language reflects the global Hennepin perspec�ve, individual ci�es have dis�nct rela�onships with one another and with the legislators who represent you. We encourage you to factor that into changes you might make. • Hennepin County Intergovernmental Rela�ons staff are available to support considera�on of proposed pla�orm items Adopt • Formally adopt any or all of the proposed pla�orm items as part of your annual legisla�ve agenda se�ng process • Hennepin County is set to formally adopt the 2024 state legisla�ve pla�orm in November 2023 • Share adopted pla�orms and suppor�ng materials with Hennepin County - Assistant County Administrator of Public Works Lisa Cerney and Intergovernmental Rela�ons Director Kareem Murphy ATTACHMENT B
