Background The City Council has held work sessions to discuss property tax revenues and budget proposals. The outcomes of these budget work sessions are to provide for a preliminary property tax levy increase of $2,679,054 recognizing the City has the opportunity to reduce the overall property tax levy before the final certification is due on December 28, 2024, however; the property tax levy may not be increased. The overall levy is proposed to increase by 16.08%. The emphasis for the 2025 budget has been to focus on meeting current service demands of the community and legislative mandates, provide competitive wages and benefits to retain quality people, provide effective and efficient services to our residents and businesses, to continue to invest in future capital needs including Parks and Street Improvements, and to plan for increases in fund balance reserves to meet target levels. While property taxes support approximately 77% of General Fund activity, they also support parks, street reconstruction and the police revolving fund throughout the city. In addition, property taxes support, through internal service fund allocations, fleet, buildings and information technology. Increasing costs in all of those areas require additional funding to ensure those funds can sustain the capital acquisitions costs over the upcoming years. Throughout the last couple months staff and council reviewed overall revenues and expenditures. To continue to achieve the initiatives mentioned above, the levy is being proposed to increase by 16.08% from 2024. The proposed 2025 budget also includes additional staffing requests including an additional PT Police Record Tech, an upgrade of an existing seasonal manager position to a full-time Facilities Supervisor, an IT Systems administrator, and a Program Specialist. All these proposed positions ensure that staff can efficiently and effectively support the services required for our City. It is important to maintain healthy reserves as local governments rely heavily on property tax revenue and need to have sufficient cash flow between property tax collection cycles to maintain operations. The 2025 budget reflects an increase of $312,000 to general fund reserves. This amount, as well as existing reserves, could fluctuate based on actual operations. Public Input The City Council must announce a date, time, and place for a public meeting where the budget and tax levy will be discussed. During this meeting, citizens are encouraged to speak on the budget and property tax levy being proposed for 2025. Staff recommends setting December 3, 2024, as the Public Input date for the 2025 property tax levy and budget. In addition to the Public Input meeting on December 3, 2024, there will be a presentation held on October 1, 2024, to allow for public comment. Conclusion 5.2 The City Council is requested to consider approving the 2025 proposed property tax levy, 2025 preliminary General Fund Budget, set the Truth in Taxation Public Input date for December 3, 2024, and approve the 2025 proposed HRA levy. 2025 Proposed 2025 Increase (Decrease) 2025 % Change General levy $ 17,281,704 $ 2,462,985 16.62 % Capital Improvements Police Equipment Revolving 94,055 1,844 2.00 Park Improvement 997,511 114,758 13.00 Street Construction 608,404 79,357 15.00 Total Capital Improvements levy 1,699,970 195,959 13.03 EDA 355,282 20,110 6.00 Total levy $ 19,336,956 $ 2,679,054 16.08 % 5.2 2025-2026 Budget September 3, 2024 1 5.2 Agenda Budget Goals Budget Timeline 2023 Accomplishments 2025 Budget impacts 2025 Significant Changes General Fund Reserves Internal Service Funds General Fund Summary General Fund Expenditures Property Tax levy Property Tax Impacts Utility Increases EDA Summary Council Comments and/or Questions 2 5.2 Budget Goals Meet service demands of the community and legislative mandates while striving for minimal impact to taxpayers. Meet Council’s four priorities. Provide sound financial planning for a two-year budget that ensures continued core services. Continue to fund future capital needs including Parks & Street Improvements. Provide competitive wages and benefits to attract and retain quality people to provide effective and efficient services to our residents and businesses. Monitor economic challenges.3 5.2 August 1, 2024 Council work session (focus on General Fund to prepare for preliminary adoption) August 15, 2024 Council work session for additional review (if needed) September 3, 2024 Council to consider preliminary budget and levies October 1, 2024 Public input meeting October 15, 2024 Adoption of Fee schedule November 14, 2024 Long-term plan review and other funds review (non-general funds) November 19, 2024 Additional work session (if needed) December 3, 2024 Council to consider final budget and levies and long-term plan 4 BUDGET TIMELINE 5.2 5 CITY HALL – ADMINISTRATION Conducted 53 City Council Meetings/Work Sessions Conducted preparation and training for the Presidential National Primary election for much of latter half of 2023. Recruited and hired 11 new employees Continued “City Hall refresh” updates Implemented THC/Low-Potency Cannabis Licensing (ongoing) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Development of a new 58-unit, $11,000,000+ apartment building at 5240 West Broadway Sale of two EDA sites for development (34xx Douglas and 4824 56th) Performed 7 ribbon-cutting events for new businesses 2023 ACCOMPLISHMENTS 5.2 6 POLICE DEPARTMENT Maintaining a nearly full staffed Police Department Added Crime Analyst position – New hire starting in June 2024 Converted embedded mental health social worker to internal employee to better serve residents and add flexibility *14% increase in Calls For Service (37,214); *24% increase in traffic stops and 30% increase in traffic citations issued; *19% increase in cases assigned to investigations Significant increase in efforts on officer/employee wellness; Established Tri-City Peer Support Team Continued community engagement programs to build and strengthen the relationship to build trust and legitimacy Our Multi-Cultural Advisory Committee members continue to be ambassadors for the PD and help us learn how to partner and collaborate with our residents 24,627+ followers on CPD Social Media Shop with a Cop, Coffee with a Cop, Adult Education Driving Program, Back to School Events, Bike Fair, Vehicle Fair, Wonder Woman Event, Tri-City Forum, etc. 2023 ACCOMPLISHMENTS 5.2 7 WEST METRO FIRE-RESCUE DISTRICT ISO conducted its review of the fire suppression capabilities of the WMFRD from 2023 data.

Bell, City Manager (for September 3 Meeting) DATE: August 28, 2024 RE: Consider approval of second reading of an ordinance rezoning the property at 6203 and 6213 – 36th Avenue N. to Planned Development for proposed twin homes and adoption of a resolution approving summary language of the ordinance for publication A.INTRODUCTION Creek Edge Townhomes LLC is proposing to consolidate the two properties they own at 6203 and 6213 – 36th Avenue N. into one lot (see City Council agenda item 6.4) and then rezone the property for the construction of four new twin homes. The property is currently zoned Low Density Residential (R-1), and the applicant is proposing to rezone the property to Planned Development (R2-PD). Notice of the August 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on August 1, mailed to the same property owners, renters and commercial tenants who received the neighborhood notice (see attachment A), and posted to all Crystal neighborhoods on Nextdoor. A sign was also posted on the property. On August 20 the Council approved first reading of the rezoning ordinance including site and building plans. On September 3 the Council is asked to approve second reading and adoption of the rezoning ordinance and also a resolution for a summary publication of the ordinance.

The purpose of the open house was to provide information on the proposed development to nearby property owners. Attendees asked questions about the site plan layout and twin home features, landscaping, and timing of construction. Existing Use The site contains a vacant single-family home constructed in 1923, as well as a detached garage and storage building. All would be demolished. Surrounding Land Uses The following are the existing zoning districts and land uses surrounding the site: •North.Across 36th Ave. N, liquor store zoned Commercial and single and two- family homes zoned Low Density Residential (R-1). •East.Single-family homes zoned R-1. •West.Strip retail shopping center zoned Commercial. •South. Eight-unit townhome building zoned Medium Density Residential (R-2). Proposed Use The applicant is proposing to construct four twin homes (eight total units) accessed by a private driveway off of 36th Avenue N. A detached storage building would also be 5.3 6203 AND 6213 – 36TH AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 4 OF 10 constructed on the south end of the property. The applicant submitted a lot consolidation application that will combine the two lots into one parcel, and this application was approved by the City Council on August 20, 2024 . The table below provides a description of notable twin home elements. Project Element Twin Home description Owned or rented The applicant has indicated that the twin homes will be rented, but in the future a Common Interest Community (CIC) plat application may be submitted so that each unit may be sold to an owner occupant. Building height 2 story (27 feet to the roof peak) Size of each unit Approximately 739 SF per unit on the main floor and 1,152 SF on the upper floor (total of 1,900 SF per unit) No. bedrooms & bathrooms 3 BR and 2½ BA per unit Attached garage size Approximately 400 SF Basements No basements (slab on grade) Patios Each unit will have a rear patio The property will be addressed as 6203 – 36th Avenue N, and be assigned one property identification number (PID) by Hennepin County. Since the twin homes will be accessed by a private driveway rather than a public street, each unit will have a 36th Ave. address. The units will be addressed as follows from north to south: • 6205/6207 • 6209/6211 • 6213/6215 • 6217/6219 The storage building will be addressed as 6221 – 36th Ave. N. Conformance to Comprehensive Plan According to the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the site is designated as medium density residential (MDR), which allows for a gross density range of 6 -16 units per acre. The site was first designated as MDR in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan adopted by the city council in 2000. “Gross” includes in the density calculation the street right-of-way measured out to the centerline of the street. In the case of 6203 and 6213 – 36th Ave. N., gross density is calculated as follows: 76,853 sq. ft. Size of both lots as shown on the property survey dated November 15, 2023. +6,544 sq. ft. 36th Avenue N. right-of-way to the centerline -19,904 sq.ft. As recommended by Met Council, s ubtract the floodplain area from the calculation as it is not developable land 5.3 6203 AND 6213 – 36TH AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 5 OF 10 = 63,493 sq. ft. Total area included in the density calculation = 7,936 sq. ft. Gross area per unit (48,611 / 8 units) There are 43,560 sq. ft. in one acre 43,560 / 7,936 = 5.5 units per gross acre which meets the minimum density of 6 units per acre when the calculation is rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Comprehensive Plan also designates the properties as a redevelopment area called “Area D”. This area extends along Douglas Drive from 27th to 36th Avenues. The plan does not identify any specific redevelopment standards for Area D. C. SITE PLAN ELEMENTS The following are the notable site plan elements for the proposed twin home development: Lot Requirements and Building Setbacks. The R2-PD zoning designation allows flexibility with site development standards such as building setbacks. The following are the requirements for a two-family dwelling under the current R-1 zoning and the proposed requirements under the R2-PD zoning classification. Requirements under R-1 district for two- family dwellings on separate lots Proposed requirements for R2- PD district Lot area: 10,000 sq. ft per lot (5,000 sq. ft. . per unit) The consolidated lot will be 76,853 sq. ft. in size (9,607 sq. ft. per unit) Lot depth: 100 feet The consolidated lot will be approximately 380 feet deep Lot width: 80 feet The consolidated lot will be approximately 202 feet wide One building per lot Multiple buildings per lot Setbacks: Setbacks: East: 5 feet East: 22 feet South: 30 feet South: 41 feet North (along 36th Ave N): 30 feet North (along 36th Ave. N): 20 feet West: 5 feet West: 147 feet The proposed twin homes are not located in drainage or utility easements. Site Plan Elements • Parking. Each twin home will have a 2-car garage attached to the front of the unit that will be accessed by a single shared private driveway off of 36th Avenue N. In addition the site plan provides for six surface parking spaces on the west side of the access driveway that will provide for overflow or visitor parking. These parking spaces meet UDC requirements. 5.3 6203 AND 6213 – 36TH AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 6 OF 10 •Stormwater management and erosion control measures. The applicant has provided a stormwater management plan , which provides for two stormwater drainage ponds in the west part of the property. The grading and erosion control plans are subject to review and approval by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission. This review and approval has been made a condition of approval of the rezoning to R2-PD. The percentage of impervious surface will be 33%. This complies with the maximum coverage of 75% in the underlying R-2 zoning district, and represents an increase from the 9% impervious coverage of the previous single-family home use. During building construction the city will require erosion control techniques to be used on -site including silt fences, inlet protection, and rock construction entrances. •Wetlands and Floodplain. There are no wetlands on the property. The majority of the west lot at 6213 – 36th Ave N. contains a floodplain. The proposed development meets the floodplain requirements of the UDC, and will also be reviewed by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission for conformance to their requirements. •Utilities. The proposed twin homes will connect with existing and proposed water and sanitary sewer mains. Each twin home unit will have a separate water meter with its own curb stop and shut off valve. The existing overhead utilities on the east side will be located in drainage and utility easements that are dedicated with the new lot consolidation plat (there are currently no easements on the property). If those lines are relocated or extended, then the lines and extensio ns must be buried underground. New private utility services to the proposed building, such as Xcel Energy, Lumen, and Comcast, will be buried underground. •Access and circulation. The city’s Public Works department and the West Metro Fire Rescue District staff have reviewed this traffic circulation plan and found it adequate to meet vehicle movement into and within the site, including fire trucks. Each twin home unit, as well as the storage building, will have an interior fire sprinkler system. The driveway for the twin homes will be located 170 feet from the Douglas Drive intersection which far exceeds the city code minimum of 30 feet. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has taken recent daily traffic counts for the Douglas Drive/36 th Ave. N. intersection. The following counts are estimated as average daily traffic (ADT), which is the total number of vehicles on a road segment on any given day. The maximum design capacity for each road is also provided below. ▪36th Ave N. (east of Douglas): 13,153 ADT in 2023. The maximum design capacity for this four-lane road is 20,000 vehicles per day. ▪36th Ave N. (west of Douglas): 10,738 ADT in 2023. The maximum design capacity for this three-lane road is 15,000 vehicles per day. 5.3 6203 AND 6213 – 36TH AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 7 OF 10 ▪ Douglas Dr (south of 36th): 6,224 ADT in 2022. The maximum design capacity for this three-lane road is 15,000 vehicles per day. ▪ Douglas Dr (north of 36th): 5,415 ADT in 2022. The maximum design capacity for this three-lane road is 15,000 vehicles per day. It is anticipated that these twin homes will produce a total of approximately 80 trips per day onto 36th Avenue N. The existing roads have adequate capacity to handle this additional traffic load. • Building elevations. The proposed major exterior building material is engineering wood siding, with manufactured stone as an accent material. These materials meet the city’s requirements. • Storage building. In addition to constructing the twin homes, the applicant is proposing to add a 28’ x 40’ (1,120 sq. ft.) storage building on the south end of the property. According to the applicant’s project narrative, the building will be used to store items relating to the maintenance of the property and upkeep of these rental twin homes. A condition of approval of the rezoning is that this storage building be used only for items relating to the maintenance and upkeep of this property and not used for other purposes, such as storage for off -site entities or persons. • Landscaping. The applicant completed a tree inventory (attachment H) on November 15, 2023 identifying 93 trees on the property. Of these, 75 trees are to be removed with 18 trees remaining. The UDC allows trees to be removed without replacing these trees, including if the tree is less than 12” in size, is not on the city’s approved tree species list, or if the tree is an obstacle to development. The site plan calls for 12 new trees to be planted: “Swamp White Oak”, “Red Pine” and Silver Linden”. • Screening. Screening of mechanical equipment meets the requirements of the UDC. Since each twin home unit will have their own trash and recycling containers, a central dumpster enclosure will not be needed. • Exterior Lighting. The exterior lighting plan shows nine wall units and one light pole adjacent to the visitor parking spaces. This lighting meets the city’s requirements. • Pedestrian connections. There is an existing sidewalk along the south side of 36th Avenue N. that allows for pedestrian connections to the proposed twin homes. • Signs. The applicant is not proposing any signage for the property. However the city will require as a condition of the rezoning that an address sign be installed near the access driveway entrance on 36th Avenue N. 5.3 6203 AND 6213 – 36TH AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 8 OF 10 D. REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (R2-PD) The applicant is requesting that th e consolidated properties be rezoned to Planned Development (R2 - PD), which allows flexibility in zoning requirements in planning for a development to have an efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities. The underlying zoning for the property would be Medium Density Residential (R-2). PD district development standards. There are two relevant development standards related to this proposed R2-PD rezoning: 1. Minimum site area. The minimum site area for a PD is 2 acres. The proposed development is 1.76 acres in size, subtracting the size of the floodplain area which reduces the developable area to 1.3 acres. However the UDC provides an exception to this requirement if at least one of three criteria are met. The two relevant criteria that are met by this development are as follows: Criteria: Unusual physical features of the property itself or of the surrounding neighborhood such that the development of a PD will conserve a physical or topographic feature of importance to the neighborhood or community. Staff response: As described in section C of this staff report, the western area of the property is located within a floodplain which will be preserved with this development. Criteria: The property is located in a transitional area between different land use categories or it is located on an arterial street as defined in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff response: As described in section B of this staff report, the property is located in Area D, which is a redevelopment area comprised of a mixture of land uses. 2. Recreational Use. A residential PD must provide a minimum of ten percent of the gross project area in private recreational uses for project residents, but the UDC provides for this requirement to be waived if the followin g criteria is met: Criteria: The city council finds that adequate recreational opportunities are available sufficiently near the PD to make this requirement duplicative, or the PD is too small for this requirement to be feasible. Staff response: The property is too small for this requirement to be feasible , but will have an open space natural area on the west side of the property. The property is also within a half-mile of Bassett Creek, Fair School and Crystal Highlands Parks. Requested flexibility in site design. As part of the PD rezoning, the applicant is requesting flexibility with the following site design requirements. Staff is supportive of 5.3 6203 AND 6213 – 36TH AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 9 OF 10 these requests which provide a means to efficiently and effectively utilize a smaller property without negatively impacting adjacent uses. Number of Buildings and Building setbacks. The applicant is only requesting flexibility to allow more than one principal building on the site and for the north side setback of 30 feet along 36th Avenue North. All other zoning requirements are met. Requirements under R-1 district Proposed requirements for R2- PD district One building per lot Multiple buildings per lot Setbacks: Setbacks: North (along 36th Ave N): 30 feet 20 feet E.REQUESTED ACTION At the August 12, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended by a vote of 6 to 0 (three members were absent) that the City Council approve the rezoning of 6203 and 6213 -36th Avenue N. to Planned Development (R2-PD) to construct four twin homes, with the following conditions of approval: 1.Site Plan. The development shall be constructed according to the site plan in attachment H. 2.Building permit. Before the permit is issued, the applicant shall: 1)Receive approval of the erosion and grading plans by the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission. 2)Sign a site improvement agreement with the city and provide an escrow to guarantee installation of the main driveway and visitor parking spaces, stormwater ponds, and landscaping plan. 3)Provide a maintenance plan for city approval for the stormwater ponds and treatment devices which will be recorded against the property. 4)Provide documentation that the lot consolidation plat has been recorded at Hennepin County. 3.Storage building. The storage building shall only be used to store items necessary for the maintenance and upkeep of the twin home property. No other entities or persons living off the property may use the building. 4.Address sign. Before the certificate of occupancy is issued for the final twin home unit, applicant shall install an address sign perpendicular to 36th Avenue N. (so as to be visible from both directions) near the main driveway entrance/exit. The sign shall provide the address number for each twin home unit and the name of the development. 5.Overhead utilities. If utility lines are installed, relocated or extended, the lines shall be buried underground. New private utilities, such as Xcel Energy, Center Point Energy, or Comcast shall be buried u nderground. 5.3 6203 AND 6213 – 36TH AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 10 OF 10 6. Special provisions related to Medium Density Residential - Planned Development (R2-PD) rezoning. The rezoning to R2-PD implements the following special provisions in place of the standard R-1 zoning requirements: a. More than one principal building is allowed on the lot. b. For the northern most twin home building (Unit 1A), the minimum building setback is reduced as follows: • North: 20 feet, instead of 30 feet. 7. Binding Effect. The conditions placed on this preliminary approval are binding on the applicant, its successors and assigns, shall run with the property, and shall not in any way be affected by the subsequent sale, lease, or other change from current ownership. The obligations of the applicant under this approval shall also be the obli gations of the current and any subsequent owners of the property. 8. Acceptance of Conditions. Utilization of the property for any of the uses allowed by this preliminary approval shall automatically be deemed acceptance of, and agreement to, the terms and conditions without qualification, reservation, or exception. The applicant anticipates starting construction of the building s in Fall, 2024, with completion by Summer, 2025. City Council actions requested: 1.

DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION 9/3/2024 CITY OF CRYSTAL MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2024-_____ RESOLUTION REGARDING MUNICIPAL CONSENT FOR THE METRO BLUE LINE EXTENSION WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council, an agency of the State of Minnesota, is proposing to build the METRO Blue Line Extension (the “Project”), a light rail transit facility, through the City of Crystal (the “City”); and WHEREAS, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 473.3994 (the “Statute”), the Metropolitan Council submitted the preliminary design plans for the physical design component of the Project (the “Plans”) to the City on July 26, 2024, and the City is required to review and either approve or disapprove the Plans no later than October 10, 2024 (“Municipal Consent”); and WHEREAS, the City has provided opportunities for public review and comment on the Project and Plans, culminating in the required public hearing held by the City Council on August 20, 2024; and WHEREAS, prior to the contemplation of the Project, the City was required to expend $2.9 million for right-of-way acquisition costs related to the expansion of Bottineau Boulevard for County Projects No. 0118 and No. 0119, which expanded Bottineau Boulevard to six lanes; and WHEREAS, the proposed alignment will remove traffic lanes in the center of the expanded Bottineau Boulevard, and therefore without the previous acquisitions, the Metropolitan Council would need to acquire the right-of-way for the Project as currently designed; and WHEREAS, the City Council has identified significant design issues and necessary changes related to the Plans, including the loss of traffic lanes on the expanded Bottineau Boulevard; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the appropriate Municipal Consent action would be disapproval including the specific changes, which would result in approval per the Statute; and WHEREAS, notwithstanding any disapproval action per the statute, the City Council desires to affirm its support for the METRO Blue Line Extension project in general. DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION 9/3/2024 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Crystal City Council elects to disapprove the Plans in accordance with the Statute; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Crystal City Council finds that the following changes would result in approval per the Statute: 1. Include the reconstruction of the old rural section of County State Aid Highway No. 8 (West Broadway) from 47th Avenue North to Fairview Avenue North in the project plans to accommodate increased traffic due to construction of the proposed alignment, both during Project construction and after Project completion. See Exhibit A. 2. The middle lane of southbound Bottineau Blvd. at 47th Avenue must be a “choice” lane so that the middle lane has the option to exit to southbound Highway 100. See Exhibit B. 3. Elevate the LRT tracks over the 42nd Avenue intersection to protect the Joint Water Commission main which supplies Crystal, New Hope, and Golden Valley. See Exhibit C. 4.

Adopted by the Crystal City Council this ___ day of ___________________, 2024. ____________________________ Jim Adams, Mayor ATTEST: _______________________________ Chrissy Serres, City Clerk DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION 9/3/2024 EXHIBIT A Old rural section of C.S.A.H No. 8 (West Broadway) DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION 9/3/2024 DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION 9/3/2024 DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION 9/3/2024 EXHIBIT B Southbound middle “choice” lane at 47th Avenue • Existing backups during the a.m. peak typically extend to 50th Avenue and occasionally extend through the Corvallis intersection. And this is with three southbound lanes. • The project proposes to eliminate the third southbound lane except for a short segment from Lakeside to 47th Avenues which is approximately half the length of the existing a.m. peak queue. • It is a reasonable assumption that the project’s significant reduction of road space will cause the southbound queues to extend further north and occur more frequently than in the existing condition. • Due to the proposed interchange at Bass Lake Road, southbound traffic will be transitioning from a wide-open, freeway-style, 1⅓ mile-long segment south of 63rd Ave. to traffic signals with congestion and queues south of Bass Lake Road. • Southbound traffic would be cresting the bridge over the CPKC when it would first see the slowed or stopped queue, with little time to react. Having a third lane start just 1,000 feet north of 47th does not address this real-world traffic safety problem which would be exacerbated by the current project design.
