Also, obtain the right-of-way necessary for this project, as described in the attachment. INITIATING ACTION This project was proposed by the Transportation Committee of District Councif 15. A key factor in this projects proposal was a fatal accident that occurred at this focation on August 3, 1996 and the past accident history at this intersection. EXISTING CONDITIONS Currentiy Munster Avenue and Wheeler Street ailow traffic to access and egress West 7th Street. At this focation, 1Nest 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 Currentiy, West 7th Street carries 26,050 vehic{e per day. POSITIVE lMPROVEMENTS Area residents and the traveling pubiic wili have +ncreased driving safety. From the time period of 6-29-1989 to 1-23-1997, there have been 49 recorded accidenis 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 wouid be eliminated. q�-as7 An informational meeting was held on January 30, 1997 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 fot, and that this movement was not safe. City Engineers and MNDOT staff both investigated this concem. It was agreed by the City and MNDOT that adequate sight distance, reduced vehicle speeds and a center turn lane on W. 7th provided for reasonabie 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 vehicle 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 siightly.

Also, obtain the right-of-way necessary for this project, as described in the attachment. INITIATING ACTION This project was proposed by the Transportation Committee of District Councif 15. A key factor in this projects proposal was a fatal accident that occurred at this focation on August 3, 1996 and the past accident history at this intersection. EXISTING CONDITIONS Currentiy Munster Avenue and Wheeler Street ailow traffic to access and egress West 7th Street. At this focation, 1Nest 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 Currentiy, West 7th Street carries 26,050 vehic{e per day. POSITIVE lMPROVEMENTS Area residents and the traveling pubiic wili have +ncreased driving safety. From the time period of 6-29-1989 to 1-23-1997, there have been 49 recorded accidenis 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 wouid be eliminated. q�-as7 An informational meeting was held on January 30, 1997 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 fot, and that this movement was not safe. City Engineers and MNDOT staff both investigated this concem. It was agreed by the City and MNDOT that adequate sight distance, reduced vehicle speeds and a center turn lane on W. 7th provided for reasonabie 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 vehicle 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 siightly.
