CASE # DATE AREA OF CONCERN SUMMARY OF CONCERN TSC COMMENTS &
RECOMMENDATIONS STATUS
207 2/17/22
Flying Cloud Dr &
Stoughton Ave
Vehicles coming off Flying Cloud Drive are
speeding through intersection and along the
corridor after road was rehabilitated. The
pavement markings, signage and enforcement
is not adequate to eliminate the issue.
Request for speed feedback too. There is a lot
of traffic on this road and speeds are getting
worse. There are buses that drop kids off too.
Left resident a voicemail letting him
know the TSC determined that more
data is necessary to evaluate the
concern. A speed data collector will be
installed and the TSC will re-evaluate
after this information is collected.
Open
208 3/3/22 Minnewashta Pkwy &
Glendale Drive
Request for crosswalk from Pleasant Acres
HOA (Brian May is acting board president)
which is 120 homes. HOA owns and maintains
walkway on east.
The recent Minnewashta Parkway
project did not have this area scheduled
for the installation of a crosswalk. As
such, once the crosswalk policy is
finalized this case will be ran through the
policy to determine if a crosswalk is
warranted.

Crosswalk
Policy
209 3/9/22 TH101 &
Creekwood Dr
Excessive speeders coming up hill don't have
sight distances to react to vehicles entering
the northbound lanes from Creekwood Drive.
Everytime we look both ways and the coast is
clear, turn to enter northbound on TH 101
there is a driver right on the tailgate almost
causing an accident. Will only be further
intensified when golfers return for the
spring/summer season. Request to have an
acceleration lane rather than two lanes in this
section.
Design of intersection was reviewed by
County/City/Designer upon completion
of construction for the TH 101 project
because another resident had similar
concerns. It was found that based on
the design speed of 40 MPH all
geometrics met standards, which also
incorporated traffic volumes from the
golf course. Therefore, no action at this
time.
Closed
210 3/9/22 Marsh Dr
Residential area with a lot of kids and 30 MPH
is not appropriate speed, especially with turns
and vertical curves. Feels as if when backing
out it's on a colelctor with the speeds.
No improvements warranted at this
time, this appears to be a neighborhood
speeding issue due to the surrounding
road network and an educational
campaign will be conducted for the
neighborhood.
Open
1. Pending
completion
of
educational
flyer.
211 3/14/22 Devonshire Dr
Residential street and the speed limit set at 30
MPH is concerning. Devonshire is a cut-
through street between Lake Lucy Rd &
Powers Blvd and concerns about drivers
hitting children. No sidewalk so there are a lot
of people on the streets walking to the park,
when there are snow banks it makes it more
difficult to avoid cars. Also there are three bus
stops on Devonshire (elementary) and middle
school/high school also use stops.
Left resident a voicemail letting her
know the TSC determined that more
data is necessary to evaluate the
concern. A speed data collector will be
installed and the TSC will re-evaluate
after this information is collected. Also
informed resident that next year there is
a CIP scheduled for Devonshire that can
evaluate additional hard surface
improvements to potentially mitigate
any issues discovered.
