Vision & Values

Transportation Element ‐ Overview

• Review 2008 Transportation Element & Met

Council minimum requirements

• Discuss Opportunities, and Challenges facing

Transportation in the next 20 years

• Next Steps

Met Council Requirements

Transportation Analysis Zones

 Allocate forecasted pop, household, and employment growth by TAZ

Roadways

 Describe and map the functional classification of existing/proposed roads

Transit

 Describe and map the existing and planned transit infrastructure services  Describe roles and responsibilities in transitway development / station area planning

Bicycling and Walking

 Describe and map existing and planned on‐road bicycle facilities  Analyze and address bicycle/pedestrian facility improvements

Freight

 Identify railways, barge facilities and freight terminals  Identify roadway issues or problem areas for good movements

Transportation Work Group – Items Identified

• Impacts of Transportation

Technology

• Aging Infrastructure
• Mobility vs. Accessibility
• Roadway System
• Bikeways / Walkway System
• Transit System

Impacts of Transportation Technology

• Coordinating traffic lights

– Reduce congestion – Improve traffic flow – Reduce exhaust

• Autonomous vehicles

– Lane width – Congestion (unclear) – Pavement markings – Narrow lane widths – Charging stations – Transit

• Drone delivery

– ADA compliance

• Cut‐through traffic

Aging Infrastructure

• Pavement Management

– Streets and trails – Prolong pavement life

• Franchise fee ‐ trails

– Covers replacement of existing trails (not new trails) – Trails in parks (maintenance)

Mobility vs. Accessibility

• Move traffic to provide high

traffic flow

– Reduce exhaust concentration

• Keep streets narrow

– Pedestrian friendly – Congestion increases – Cut‐through traffic

• One size does not fit all

– Normandale Lake – South Loop – Penn American

• Travel Demand Management

Roadway System

• Safety

– Engineering – Enforcement – Education

• Functional Roadway

Classification

– Mobility and land access – Reroutes / shortcuts

• Traffic calming

Functional Roadway Classification, 2008

Bikeways / Walkway System

• Alternative

Transportation Plan and Safe Routes to School

– Promotes transportation system for cyclists and pedestrians – Addresses barriers – Missing gaps – Recommended priorities

ATP System

Existing System & Gaps

ATP System Hierarchy

ATP System – Priority Regional Trail connections highlighted

Local Connections – Priority Example W 102nd Street Bikeway

Criteria for Prioritizing

• Community Demand
• Redevelopment / Upgrading of Alternative

Transportation Facility

• Redevelopment Opportunity
• Funding Availability / Partnership Opportunity
• Safety
• Accessibility
• Economic Efficiency

Continued ‐ Bikeways / Walkway System

• Temporary Infrastructure

– For testing

• Education, Marketing and

Promotion

– Promote short trips – Leverage partnership with Bicycle Alliance – Open streets, bicycle rodeos – Maps and signs – Website / social media

Transit System

• Transit deficiencies

– Suburb to suburb connection – Improve efficiency of inter‐city transit

• Specific user groups

dependent on transit

• Land Use – Transit

Relationships

Next Steps

• Prepare draft plans

– Draft goals, strategies and priorities for each plan

• Present to the advisory committee in late

summer

Airport Element ‐ Overview

• Review 2008 Airport Element & Met Council

minimum requirements

• Discuss Opportunities, and Challenges facing

Airports in the next 20 years

• Next Steps

Requirements

Map

– Boundaries – Land use – Zoning

Explain how City Implements Airport Zoning Requirements

2008 Airport Element

• Safety

– Land Uses – Height Restrictions – Zoning

• Noise

– Mitigation Programs

• Effect on Airport South

District (South Loop)

Zoning/Land Use

• MnDOT

– Go beyond FAA – Exception for existing urban airports – Potential changes in 2017

• Metropolitan Airport Commission (MAC)

Zoning Regulations

– Balance between Safety and Economic Development

Airport Safety Zone

Expanding Airport Operations

Airport Planning ‐ Investment

• Expansion of Humphrey Terminal

– Interchange at I‐494 and 34th Street was reconstructed

• New Parking Facilities

– Potential to repurpose areas dedicated to airport parking

Park N’ Go

Park ’N Fly Park ’N Go Diverging Diamond Interchange

Expanding Airport Operations

• Tourism

– Effect on hotel industry – Mall of America and other Attractions – Attractive to Corporations
