Received from Comment Cards Wish to commend the installation of flasher lights at the intersection of Eden Ave. + 50th St - I walk across there frequently + it has been precarious It should be expected that sidewalks and bikeways be kept up to the same condition as roadways. In the winter sidewalks are icy and not maintained to the same level as the roads. I have slipped and fallen many, many times when using our sidewalks in the winter over the years.

If the inner loop (maybe call it a hub?) has more connectivity to the outer loop. Like a bike wheel. with a hub, spokes and rim? I feel fortunate that our City has invested in this great advisory group! Thank you! Making Edina more accessible for biking and walking is a fine idea but keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of trips today and in the future involve cars. Don't hinder our ability to get around the city by lowering the speed limit or adding "traffic calming" features. For example, the 25 mph limit on 70th street is a joke. That street was designed as a major artery for the city. Thanks for listening. Great plan - I'm an avid biker so the more , the better!

Question: Does the proposed network of bike trails envision kinking up with the bike trails in , St. Louis Park or Hopkins? Creating a connection up to the greenway in Hopkins would be great. I feel we don't need totally "segregated" bike lanes. If cars don't honor the lines now, they'll run over the separators if they're plastic. I'm a big supporter and very excited about the new 3 rivers 9 mile creek . Appreciate your recognition of the 60% interested but concerned group to which I belong. Thanks for your excellent work on this. I'll try to add detailed comments later. One concern / Winter and rush hour on Edina roads. We have to be sensitive to months very few will use the bike paths. Love options to route thru neighborhoods instead of high traffic routes. Thanks! 1. Don't prohibit bikes on sidewalks 2. Motivation should only be to make biking / walking better, never to make driving more difficult 3. Improve safety on Blake Road north of Interlachen, especially on the hill, 4. I question if it's worthwhile to improve biking during winter. There aren't many winter bikers and it seems inherently unsafe and perhaps should be discouraged. I just wanted to make sure attention has been given to an east-west bike route through Arden Park when the park is re-done, so that bikes don't end up on 54th St. Lots of people bike through there, incl. kids. Also, please make it wide because some people go quite fast, small kids go slowly, etc. Please keep it away from the small-kid play area. Thanks! Received from Comment Cards Board Section Comment Bikeshare / New How about "maintenance station" in key locations with pumps, secured tools, and "rack" for 7 Mob. Hubs holding the bike Yes! Would love to see our own "Nice Bike" types service, or (better) the extension of 7 Bike Parking existing Nice Bike to our community Please continue to keep inter-modal concerns at the forefront. We need to continue to connect the "vision" for transit in and out of our community with our Active Transportation 5 vision. Yes! I liked in the vision that mention of walk/bike as "everyday activities"...if the facilities are not maintained during all 3 seasons, this important aspect of the Vision cannot be 3 realized Love 1st paragraph. 2nd paragraph is not so much about where we are going and more like how we will get there so maybe move it to a principle.

5 "Active Transportation" is jargon that doesn't quite fit as well into a vision Comments Provided on Map (location in parenthesis) How to connect SWLRT Improve pedestrian and bike access to and around this area (Vernon and Eden) Currently very hazardous (Interlachen and Blake) Would love to see bike route to and from school (Vernon and Mirror Lake Drive) What are you doing about trees in the space between the walking path and the road. Residents are very concerned. (64th St W and Southcrest Dr) Traffic calming island is (can't read) (66th st w and Southcrest Dr) I'm worried about the new 9 mile trail in that it doesn't direct people of where they're walking or riding - are you going to mark it further so people will know where the bikes and pedestrians should be? Susan Clark This 1-block segment would benefit by AT LEAST the green painted "share the road" bike land to visually remind the motorists (70th St between Creston Rd and Cornelia Dr) I have emailed the city a couple times about this 1-block stretch. Dangerous for cyclists "pinched" (then cut off) by motorists (I think this is Metro Blvd) (70th St W and Metro Blvd)
