Summary of Engineering Recommendations
Report Prepared - February 18, 1997
PROJECT
�cx ;3�
c�
9�t-�i
Improve the six-legged intersection at West 7th Street, Munster Avenue and Wheeler
Street (City Project 97-P-1161) by constructing a cul-de-sac on Wheeler Street to
the south of West 7th Street, and by closing off access to and from the north side of
West 7th Street at Wheeler Street and Munster Avenue, by constructing concrete curb
and gutter, concrete sidewalk, bituminous pavement, storm water drainage facilities,
reconstruction of block retaining wall, sod and doing alf other work necessary and
incidental to complete said project.
A1so, obtain the right-of-way necessary for this project, as described in the
attachment.
INITIATfNG ACTION
This project was proposed by the Transportation Committee of District Council 15.
A key factor in this projects proposal was a fatal accident that occurred at this location
on August 3, 1996 and the past accident history at this intersection.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Currently Munster Avenue and Wheeler Street allow traffic to access and egress
West 7th Street. At this location, West 7th Street ends and State Highway 5 begins.
Regulatory speeds change at this location from 55 mph on Highway 5 to 35 mph
within City limits on West 7th Street. Sight distance for vehicles attempting to cross
or merge onto West 7th Street from Munster Street or Wheeler Avenue is very poor.
Vehicle speeds at this location are high.
TRAFFIC COUNTS
Currently, West 7th Street carries 26,050 vehicle per day.
POSITIVE iMPROVEMEPJTS
Area residents and the traveling public will have increased driving safety. From the
time period of 6-29-1989 to 1-23-1997, there have been 49 recorded accidents at
this location, with 20 injuries and 1 fatality. Of the 49 accidents, 22 of these have been
right angle accidents. With the new design, these right angle accidents would be
eliminated.
�
� �.���
An informational meeting was held on January 30, i997 with area residents and
businesses notified. All of the area residents in attendance (approximately 30) were
very much in favor of the project. Several area business owners attended. The main
concem was in regard to vehicles exiting the barber shop on the north side of W. 7th
St. just west of Wordsworth Ave. The business owners feeling was that now vehicles
would have to take a left out of his lot, and that this movement was not safe. City
Engineers and MNDOT staff both investigated this concern. It was agreed by the City
and MNDOT that adequate sight distance, reduced vehicle speeds and a center turn
fane on W. 7th provided for reasonable driver safety at this location.
Residents living on Munster Avenue and on Wheeler Street to the north and south of
West 7th Street will have less cut through traffic, lower vehicfe speed on residential
roads, less vehicle noise and safer streets for pedestrians.
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Minor construction disruptions due to the limited scope of the construction project.
Existing traffic flow patterns for area circulation may be altered slightly.

Summary of Engineering Recommendations
Report Prepared - February 18, 1997
PROJECT
�cx ;3�
c�
9�t-�i
Improve the six-legged intersection at West 7th Street, Munster Avenue and Wheeler
Street (City Project 97-P-1161) by constructing a cul-de-sac on Wheeler Street to
the south of West 7th Street, and by closing off access to and from the north side of
West 7th Street at Wheeler Street and Munster Avenue, by constructing concrete curb
and gutter, concrete sidewalk, bituminous pavement, storm water drainage facilities,
reconstruction of block retaining wall, sod and doing alf other work necessary and
incidental to complete said project.
A1so, obtain the right-of-way necessary for this project, as described in the
attachment.
INITIATfNG ACTION
This project was proposed by the Transportation Committee of District Council 15.
A key factor in this projects proposal was a fatal accident that occurred at this location
on August 3, 1996 and the past accident history at this intersection.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Currently Munster Avenue and Wheeler Street allow traffic to access and egress
West 7th Street. At this location, West 7th Street ends and State Highway 5 begins.
Regulatory speeds change at this location from 55 mph on Highway 5 to 35 mph
within City limits on West 7th Street. Sight distance for vehicles attempting to cross
or merge onto West 7th Street from Munster Street or Wheeler Avenue is very poor.
Vehicle speeds at this location are high.
TRAFFIC COUNTS
Currently, West 7th Street carries 26,050 vehicle per day.
POSITIVE iMPROVEMEPJTS
Area residents and the traveling public will have increased driving safety. From the
time period of 6-29-1989 to 1-23-1997, there have been 49 recorded accidents at
this location, with 20 injuries and 1 fatality. Of the 49 accidents, 22 of these have been
right angle accidents. With the new design, these right angle accidents would be
eliminated.
�
� �.���
An informational meeting was held on January 30, i997 with area residents and
businesses notified. All of the area residents in attendance (approximately 30) were
very much in favor of the project. Several area business owners attended. The main
concem was in regard to vehicles exiting the barber shop on the north side of W. 7th
St. just west of Wordsworth Ave. The business owners feeling was that now vehicles
would have to take a left out of his lot, and that this movement was not safe. City
Engineers and MNDOT staff both investigated this concern. It was agreed by the City
and MNDOT that adequate sight distance, reduced vehicle speeds and a center turn
fane on W. 7th provided for reasonable driver safety at this location.
Residents living on Munster Avenue and on Wheeler Street to the north and south of
West 7th Street will have less cut through traffic, lower vehicfe speed on residential
roads, less vehicle noise and safer streets for pedestrians.
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Minor construction disruptions due to the limited scope of the construction project.
Existing traffic flow patterns for area circulation may be altered slightly.

Summary of Engineering Recommendations
Report Prepared - February 18, 1997
PROJECT
�cx ;3�
c�
9�t-�i
Improve the six-legged intersection at West 7th Street, Munster Avenue and Wheeler
Street (City Project 97-P-1161) by constructing a cul-de-sac on Wheeler Street to
the south of West 7th Street, and by closing off access to and from the north side of
West 7th Street at Wheeler Street and Munster Avenue, by constructing concrete curb
and gutter, concrete sidewalk, bituminous pavement, storm water drainage facilities,
reconstruction of block retaining wall, sod and doing alf other work necessary and
incidental to complete said project.
A1so, obtain the right-of-way necessary for this project, as described in the
attachment.
INITIATfNG ACTION
This project was proposed by the Transportation Committee of District Council 15.
A key factor in this projects proposal was a fatal accident that occurred at this location
on August 3, 1996 and the past accident history at this intersection.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Currently Munster Avenue and Wheeler Street allow traffic to access and egress
West 7th Street. At this location, West 7th Street ends and State Highway 5 begins.
Regulatory speeds change at this location from 55 mph on Highway 5 to 35 mph
within City limits on West 7th Street. Sight distance for vehicles attempting to cross
or merge onto West 7th Street from Munster Street or Wheeler Avenue is very poor.
Vehicle speeds at this location are high.
TRAFFIC COUNTS
Currently, West 7th Street carries 26,050 vehicle per day.
POSITIVE iMPROVEMEPJTS
Area residents and the traveling public will have increased driving safety. From the
time period of 6-29-1989 to 1-23-1997, there have been 49 recorded accidents at
this location, with 20 injuries and 1 fatality. Of the 49 accidents, 22 of these have been
right angle accidents. With the new design, these right angle accidents would be
eliminated.
�
� �.���
An informational meeting was held on January 30, i997 with area residents and
businesses notified. All of the area residents in attendance (approximately 30) were
very much in favor of the project. Several area business owners attended. The main
concem was in regard to vehicles exiting the barber shop on the north side of W. 7th
St. just west of Wordsworth Ave. The business owners feeling was that now vehicles
would have to take a left out of his lot, and that this movement was not safe. City
Engineers and MNDOT staff both investigated this concern. It was agreed by the City
and MNDOT that adequate sight distance, reduced vehicle speeds and a center turn
fane on W. 7th provided for reasonable driver safety at this location.
Residents living on Munster Avenue and on Wheeler Street to the north and south of
West 7th Street will have less cut through traffic, lower vehicfe speed on residential
roads, less vehicle noise and safer streets for pedestrians.
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Minor construction disruptions due to the limited scope of the construction project.
Existing traffic flow patterns for area circulation may be altered slightly.
