Part V: Adjournment Next Meeting Date – 7/17/24 CASE # DATE AREA OF CONCERN SUMMARY OF CONCERN TSC COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS ACTION TAKEN 280 5/22/24 Powers Blvd & Lake Dr E Request for additional east/west crosswalks at intersections and maintenance to faded crosswalk markings. The city is conducting crosswalk maintenance and the installation of new crosswalk treatments along the controlled legs of city streets along Powers Boulevard (north/south crossings) this year. However, the city has no control over crosswalk improvements installations as the Powers Boulevard is under Carver County jurisdiction, any crossings (east/west) in their right-of- way. Other intersections along the corridor have gone through safety audits, and at this time have not met the warrants for improvements to be installed per the Carver County Crosswalk Policy. Yes 281 6/7/24 Bluff Creek Blvd & River Rock Dr N When stopped at the stop sign on River Rock Drive N and Bluff Creek BLVD, you cannot see well looking to the east on Bluff creek blvd for traffic traveling west to turn onto bluff creek blvd. Vehicles traveling between the intersection and the roundabout are traveling at a high rate of speed. Stop sign would be very helpful, if nothing else a blind intersection sign may help a little. Follow-up comment was they acknowledged this has been brought to TSC in the past with no action, recommended reviewing with full foliage. Review of past cases does not show record of this specific concern, only Case #268 regarding the intersection and Avienda opening up. Landscaping was installed per requirements of the development. HOA will be sent notice to maintain landscaping and clear sight lines at the intersection. Yes 282 6/24/24 TH 5 & Great Plains and Marsh Drive & Lake Drive East He walks his dog and has almost been hit by cars 3 times in the last month— twice while crossing Hwy 5 at Great Plains (using light to cross) and at Marsh Drive and Lake Drive East (driver stopped to yell at him- telling him “This is not a cross walk!”) He said he read in the paper a few months ago about the City getting grant money to improve trails etc? No improvements warranted at this time. Discussed additional pedestrian routes (pedestrian bridge, existing crosswalks, etc.) and will track for 2026 Lake Dr E improvements for any further assessments (extension of sidewalks, additional crosswalk enhancements, etc.).
