The Commission supports the following concepts:
1. Converting the existing 4-lane roadway to a 3-lane roadway with a center-left turn lane.
2. The designation of the east side of the right-of-way as a sidewalk corridor.
3. The designation of the west side of the right-of-way as a trail corridor.
4. The changes to the west side of the current 51St Avenue intersection.
5. The use of a 6-ft. wide shoulder area for emergency stops and other infrequent stops/deliveries,
which will help provide greater separation from the traffic lane to the sidewalk and trail, and
provide better sight lines at private driveways.
The Commission recommends that consideration be given to the following:
1. That the street layout, sidewalks and trail locations for this portion of the corridor be coordinated
with the City of Minneapolis'trail plans to Victory Memorial Parkway.
2. Consider options to compliment and expand the theme of the existing City's Entrance Sign in this
area.
3. Consider opportunities for property owners to install driveway turn around areas to avoid backing
into the Brooklyn Boulevard.
