(SRF) was retained by the City of Shakopee to conduct a Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study for the Union Pacific Railway (UPRR) mainline corridor through the city. Since 1999, the City has imposed a speed limit of 10 mph on the railroad through the downtown portion of the corridor. However, the City and UPRR recently began discussing the potential for allowing increased train speeds if additional safety measures along the corridor were implemented. Related to this effort was the evaluation of the potential for implementing a quiet zone in Shakopee to eliminate the routine sounding of horns at highway-rail crossings and improve the quality of life throughout the City. Many of the potential crossing improvements used to increase safety may also be used to assist with quiet zone implementation. The goals of this study were twofold: Evaluate the effects on safety for an increase in train speed from 10 mph to 25 mph (Train Safety Analysis) Evaluate the potential for quiet zone implementation in Shakopee (Quiet Zone Analysis) The findings from the train safety analysis show that while the proposed speed increase from 10 mph to 25 mph would slightly increase the severity of a train derailment, the probability of a derailment occurring is very low due to the high classification track installed by UPRR. The findings also show that the increases in collision risk resulting from the higher train speed can be largely mitigated by upgrading the crossing warning devices to gates, flashing lights, and constant warning time detectors. The quiet zone analysis evaluated the potential for the implementation of a quiet zone through the City based on the requirements of the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Train Horn Rule. With guidance from the Shakopee City Council Railroad Safety Committee, a number of crossing improvement scenarios were developed based on the goals and needs of the City. The estimated construction costs for the scenarios ranged from $2,077,500 to $4,877,500. Many of the construction costs were related to necessary gate and signal system upgrades. Due to high costs, a recent decline in UPRR train volumes, and a lack of financial commitments from other partners (UPRR, MnDOT, Hennepin County, etc.) the Committee is not recommending the implementation of a quiet zone at this time. The Committee recommends that the train speed limit in the downtown portion of the corridor remain at 10 mph. If the City wishes to proceed with quiet zone implementation at some point in the future, the information in this report will form the basis of that undertaking, but will need to be updated to reflect any significant changes in train/traffic volumes, existing crossing warning devices, and other site conditions.

Train Safety Analysis I.INTRODUCTION SRF Consulting Group, Inc. (SRF) was retained by the City of Shakopee to conduct a Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study for the Union Pacific Railway (UPRR) mainline corridor through the city. This rail corridor has a unique configuration wherein the tracks are located in the middle of Second Avenue with one lane of traffic on each side of the tracks. This configuration is maintained through downtown Shakopee from Apgar Street to Minnesota Street. The railway continues through the eastern portions of the city parallel to Highway 101. This track has existed in the city since 1858 when the city passed an ordinance granting permission to UPRR’s predecessor—the Southern Minnesota Railroad Company—to run an east-west mainline track through the city. For many years, UPRR operated at a speed of 10 mph through downtown Shakopee and 30 mph in other areas of the city. In 1998, UPRR upgraded this corridor to class 4 track with a maximum operating speed of 60 mph. UPRR notified the City that they intended to increase the speed of trains through downtown from 10 mph to 30 mph. In 1999, before this speed increase was implemented, the City petitioned the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to impose a 10 mph speed limit in downtown Shakopee. UPRR filed an opposition to this petition and a contested case hearing was held before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The ALJ issued recommendations in favor of a 10 mph speed limit imposed by MnDOT “until Union Pacific and Shakopee can improve the safety and warning mechanisms at the crossings and reduce visual clutter in the area.” UPRR appealed this decision to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, but the decision of the ALJ was affirmed and UPRR’s motion was denied, citing that “The speed limit is necessary to reduce or eliminate an essentially local safety hazard and does not conflict with existing federal law or pose an undue burden on interstate 1 commerce.” In recent years, an increase in train volumes has led to more train horn noise and has increased delay to motor vehicles at crossings. The City has held discussions with the railroad about potential options for increasing railroad speed through downtown while maintaining roadway user safety. To this end, the City requested the services of SRF to conduct this Train Safety/Quiet Zone study. The goals for the following study were twofold: Evaluate the effects on safety for trains increasing from 10 mph to 25 mph Evaluate the potential for a quiet zone implementation in Downtown Shakopee http://mn.gov/web/prod/static/lawlib/live/archive/ctappub/0005/c1991722.htm 1 Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 1 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis While the likelihood and severity of train derailments and collisions at highway-rail grade crossings are—by their nature—difficult to predict, there are certain infrastructure conditions that can be used to identify relative risks for these incidents. This report provides a review of the primary causes of derailments and collisions and assesses the potential increase in risk to the public resulting from an increase in train speed from 10 mph to 25 mph. This study also evaluates the potential for the implementation of a quiet zone through the City. Under the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Train Horn Rule, railroads are required to sound the train horn at all public crossings. Exceptions to this requirement can be made through the implementation of a railroad quiet zone. In order to qualify for quiet zone implementation, certain minimum warning device requirements must be present at all relevant crossings and additional safety improvements must be installed to reduce the overall risk of a collision. Quiet zones can be a powerful tool for improving traveler safety through a rail corridor and the quality of life for neighboring residents and businesses by eliminating the routine sounding of the train horns. This study was completed with the review and guidance from the City of Shakopee City Council’s Railroad Safety Committee. A summary of the outreach with this committee and other stakeholders is also documented in this report. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 2 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis II.EXISTING CROSSING CONDITIONS The section of track reviewed in this study runs from mile marker 25.17 to 29.13 on the UPRR’s Merriam Subdivision. A total of 20 highway-rail at-grade crossings from Canterbury Roadto the east to a Private Entrance to the west were reviewed as part of this study. This includes 15 public crossings and five private crossings. The locations of these crossings are shown in Figure 1. It should be noted that two crossings are located on Apgar Street. The southern Apgar Street crossing is part of the mainline Merriam Subdivision while the northern Apgar Street crossing is part of a spur track providing service to the Rahr Corporation facility immediately to the west of the crossing. The 10 mph portion of track in downtown extends approximately one mile from Apgar Street to Minnesota Street. Current Warning Devices Highway-rail crossings can be equipped with a variety of warning devices, ranging from a simple crossbuck sign to a full four-quadrant system with pedestrian gates. The crossings within Shakopee are equipped with a range of various devices. A description of these existing warning devices is provided below and is divided into two categories: passive warning devices and active warning devices. Passive Warning Devices Passive warning devices consist of static warning signs and pavement markings and do not change their condition based on the presence of a train at or near the crossing. Crossings equipped with only passive warning devices typically have lower train and/or traffic volumes and do not provide any additional safety improvements. Of the 20 crossings evaluated in this study, six are equipped with only passive warning devices. As is typical for most private crossings, all five of the private crossings included in this study are equipped with only passive warning devices. Of the remaining public crossings, the Apgar Street spur crossing is the only one with only passive warning devices. The warning devices at these crossings consist of crossbucks, pavement markings, and/or stop signs. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 3 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis Figure 1.Shakopee Highway-Rail Crossings Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 4 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis Active Warning Devices Active warning devices provide advance notice of an approaching train. They are activated by the passage of a train over a detection circuitry in the track. They are also typically supplemented with passive warning devices as described above. Common active warning devices include gates, flashing lights, and bells. Flashing Lights Flashing lights are most commonly mounted on a mast on each approach to a crossing, but may also be mounted on a cantilever in order to increase visibility. Cantilever-mounted flashing lights are required when the approaching roadway consists of multiple travel lanes or if mast-mounted lights would not be visible due to parking or other physical barriers. At crossings with high volumes of pedestrian activity, individual lights may be aimed at the pedestrian approach. With the exception of the Apgar Street spur crossing, all of the public crossings are equipped with flashing lights. Gates Standard two-quadrant gates provide additional warning to roadway users by placing a physical barrier across the road. The gates may still be circumvented, but only through an illegal maneuver. Four-quadrant gates prevent this by placing two additional gate at the exit locations. Gate systems are always supplemented by flashing lights. Seven crossings in the study are equipped with two-quadrant gates.The presence of gates is noted in Figure 1 above. Train Detection The gates and flashing light systems are activated by approaching trains through a train detection system. The two train detection systems used in the Shakopee crossings include constant warning time (CWT) detection and motion detection. Motion detection systems are activated when a train passes over the detector set a specific distance from the crossing. These detectors are placed and programmed such that a minimum of 20 seconds warning time is provided (based on typical approach speeds) before the train arrives at the crossing. Because of this configuration, trains traveling faster or slower than usual will result in inconsistent warning times. This can potentially cause confusion and frustration for roadway users. If the warning device activates for much longer than usual (over 40 – 50 seconds) due to a slower than usual train, the motorist might think the warning device is broken and ignore it. This is especially problematic at crossings where motorists cannot see the train approaching. CWT detection systems handle this issue by measuring the speed of approaching trains and activating the warning devices for a consistent duration. The warning devices present at each of the Shakopee crossings are summarized in Table 1. This information was collected through a combination of field review, coordination with Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 5 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis UPRR and MnDOT, and review of the FRA grade crossing inventory. The current FRA grade crossing inventory forms are included in Appendix A.

In both instances, there were no injuries or fatalities. The low number of crashes is likely due to the low volume of trains, low speed of trains, and low traffic volumes relative. The speed of trains, traffic volumes, and safety warning devices all contribute to the risk for crashes. FRA grade crossing accident/incident reports for these crashes are included in Appendix B. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 6 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis III.TRAIN SAFETY ANALYSIS With the sharp increase in train volumes throughout Minnesota and the Midwest, rail safety is becoming a prominent issue for many communities. This has become a particularly sensitive issue given the increase in shipments of crudeoilby rail originating from the Bakken oil field in North Dakota. Recent derailments of crude oil by rail have increased public concern and scrutiny of rail safety issues. With this in mind, the City of Shakopee is concerned about the potential safety impacts of allowing an increase in train speeds from 10 mph to 25 mph through the downtown area. While an increase in train speed would reduce the amount of delay caused to motorists, the downtown area is dense, highly travelled, and would be significantly impacted by a derailment orcollision. While it is impossible to predict train derailments and collisions with any certainty, many independent factors may be reviewed in order to understand their relative importance to railroad safety. The following section of the report presents a qualitative review of these factors. The information presented is based on a literature review of train safety studies including the following reports and studies: Analysis of Derailments by Accident Cause (http://trrjournalonline.trb.org/doi/10.3141/2261-21) Analysis of Causes of Major Train Derailment and Their Effect on Accident Rates (http://railtec.illinois.edu/CEE/pdf/Journal%20Papers/2012/Liu%20et%20al%20 2012.pdf) Assessment of Crude by Rail (CBR) Safety Issues in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (http://www.scribd.com/doc/274852355/Assessment-of-Crude-by-Rail-CBR- Safety-Issues-in-Commonwealth-of-Pennsylvania) Derailment Probability Analyses and Modeling of Mainline Freight Trains (http://railtec.illinois.edu/CEE/pdf/Conference%20Proceedings/2005/Anderson %20and%20Barkan%202005.pdf) Railroad Derailment Factors Affecting Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk (http://railtec.illinois.edu/CEE/pdf/Journal%20Papers/2003/Barkan%20et%20all %202003.pdf) The two main areas of focus for this review are the risk of derailment and risk of collision. The following sections review the many variables influencing rail safety with focus on the relative influence of train speed on derailments and collisions. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 7 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis Risk of Derailment Track condition, train speed, train length, and environmental factors such as number of highway-rail crossings can all affect the likelihood and severity of train derailments. When transporting commodities in an urban area, especially those that are hazardous, it is important to understand how each of these factors contributes to derailments. The following section provides an overview of the predominant categories of derailment and the basic factors used to predict derailment frequency and severity. This review focuses only on mainline activity as siding and yard derailments have different causes and are usually less severe due to lower speeds. Types of Derailments Derailments have a variety of causes that are influenced by a number of contributing factors. Oftentimes a derailment is a result of several factors occurring at once. Influences on derailment risk include the FRA track classification, type of track and railroad, train length, track geometry, and train control system. The FRA requires detailed reports for all significant accidents or incidents associated with railroad train operations. This database of incidents has helped researchers to understand the causes and likelihood of derailments. All collisions and derailments fall within one of five categories in the FRA accident database. These include: 1.Track 2.Equipment 3.Human Factors 4.Signals 5.Miscellaneous Within these categories are over 100 subcategories. The majority of derailments are caused by track failure, equipment failure, or human factors and these categories are reviewed in more detail below. However, there are often multiple factors at play so it is difficult to ascertain just how much risk is associated with a specific factor such as increase in train speed. Track Causes The number one cause of derailment regardless of speed, train size, or rail classification is a broken rail or weld. Instances of broken rails or welds are mostly influenced by the volume of car-miles carried over the rail. It is difficult for railroads to identify this particular failure, which is why it is such a prevalent cause of derailment. Visual inspection is not effective at locating potential rail failures. New ultra-sonic testing can be conducted but it is costly and not 100 percent effective. Other track-related failures include geometry, wide gauge (distance between rails) and buckling. The frequency and severity of track-related derailmentstend to Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 8 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis be influenced by train speed and weight (i.e., faster and heavier trains are more likely to derail than slower and lighter trains). Equipment Causes Rail equipment failures are another potential cause of derailment. The most prevalent equipment-related derailments are caused by bearing failure and broken wheels. These failures are often attributed to heat buildup. This may be exacerbated by high speed or operational factors such as excessive breaking on hills. Sensors are available that can register wheel and bearing temperature to help address the issue. Human Factors Human factors-related derailments may be caused by inadequate train handling (ensuring proper spacing between cars and speed), improper vehicle movement through a grade crossing, or trespassing on tracks. The issues of train handling and movement can be regulated with sensors on the train. Positive Train Control (PTC) systems are examples of this approach. Among other things, the PTC system uses sensors to measure train speed and automatically adjust the train’s throttle if it is not within an acceptable range for the track segment. The system can also slow or stop the train completely to prevent a collision with another train on the track. However, it cannot prevent derailments caused by improper vehicle movements through a grade crossing. The FRA has published final regulations requiring all Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) Class 1 railroad mainlines to implement PTC systems. The original deadline for this implementation was December 31, 2015, but was recently extended by three years to December 31, 2018. Predicting Derailment The risk of derailment is usually determined by using a mix of variables such as track miles, car-miles, speed, and FRA track classification. With over 100 different causes, these variables are usually the underlying factors that contributed to the cause of derailment. Train-Miles and Car-Miles Two factors that increase the likelihood of derailment are train miles and car-miles. Train- miles are the number of miles each individual train operates. Car-miles account for the size of trains by multiplying the train-miles of each individual train by the number of cars in its consist. Train-miles affect derailment because they relate to the time spent for a human to operate the train. The longer the train operates the more likelihood of human error. More train-miles expose the operator to more potential conflicts at key locations such as grade crossings and switch points. Car-miles influence derailments because of the number of components that may fail. Longer trains have more wheels, axles, and bearings that could potentially fail. Shorter trains reduce the risk associated with car-miles but increase risk Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 9 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis related to more train-miles. This is because more trains will need to run to meet the same level of service. Speed and Train Length The number of cars that derail are directly related to the speed and length of the train. For example, as shown in Figure 2, a 100-car train traveling at 25 miles per hour is expected to have twice as many cars derail as compared to the same size train traveling at 10 miles per hour. Furthermore, a train traveling at 40 miles per hour is expected to have nearly three times as many cars derail as compared to the same size train traveling at 10 miles per hour. Figure 2.Cars Derailed by Residual Train Length and Speed (S) Source: Derailment Probability Analyses and Modeling of Mainline Freight Trains This is because the point of derailment (POD) is more likely to be near the front of the train at higher speeds. The closer the POD is to the front,the more likely the preceding cars will also derail resulting in longer trains having a higher severity. Furthermore, the more cars involved in a derailment also contribute to the likelihood that potentially hazardous material will be released from the container. This is particularly important in understanding the risks associated with the transportation of hazardous material. Severity Another important aspect of a derailment is the severity. This is typically expressedas the expected number of derailed cars per derailment. The severity of a derailment is influenced by the speed ofthe train, length of the train, and cause of the derailment. If a train is operating at an appropriate speed and is of moderate length the likelihood and severity of a derailment is low. This is especially true for higher-class tracks that have less risk of Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 10 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis derailment. The relationship between track class and severity is explored further in the following section. Track Classification The FRA distinguishes five standard classes for freight tracks. These classifications set standards for track condition, geometry, and provide a maximum operating speed. Class 1 track represents the lowest standard (outside of excepted track) and has a maximum freight train speed of 10 mph. As the track class increases, so does the maximum train speed allowed. In order to allow higher train speeds, tracks in the higher FRA classifications must be built and maintained to much more stringent standards. Because of these higher standards, the frequency of derailments on higher-class tracks is lower. However, since the higher-class tracks allow for faster train speed, the derailments that do occur are at a higher severity. The relationship between track class, derailment rate, and derailment severity is shown in Figure 3below. Figure 3.Relationship between Track Class, Derailment Rate, and Derailment Severity for All Accident Causes Source: Analysis of Derailments by Accident Cause As track class increases, the higher track standards result in fewer derailments per billion car- miles as well as fewer cars derailed per billion car-miles. With Shakopee’s upgrade from Class 3 to Class 4 tracks, it should be expected that the probability of a derailment would decrease. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 11 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis Based on the figure above, the expected number of derailed cars per billion car-miles on Class 4 track is less than half of the rate expected for Class 3 track. However, due to the higher speeds involved, the severity of derailments on Class 4 track is expected to be more severe than on Class 3 tracks (an increase from approximately nine cars per derailment to approximately 10 cars per derailment). There are many factors at play when evaluating risk of derailment. Speed, size, and environmental factors all contribute to the cause and severity of derailment. At slower speeds, derailments are more likely to be caused by track-related issues while at higher speeds, derailments are more likely to be the result of human factors or equipment-related issues. Risk of Collisions The risk of a collision at individual crossings is typically calculated using the U.S. 2 Department of Transportation’s Accident Prediction Model. This model estimates the probability of collisions at crossings based on a number of characteristics such as train volumes and speed, roadway volumes and speed, intersection geometry, and recentcrash 3 history. The FRA’s online Quiet Zone calculator takes this model one step further to calculate a risk index by incorporating up-to-date average costs of fatal and injury crashes. The resulting numbers are most commonly used as unitless indices to compare risk levels before and after various safety improvements, as well as to compare risk levels between crossings. However, the risk index actually represents the estimated annual cost to society for each crossing based on the probability of crashes, the severity of those crashes, and the average cost associated with each crash severity. Based on the ALJ ruling that the speed limit should remain at 10 mph “until Union Pacific and Shakopee can improve the safety and warning mechanisms” in the corridor, SRF conducted a risk assessment to identify the types of crossing improvements that would be necessary to maintain the existing risk levels in the corridor. An increase in the speed from 10 mph to 25 mph will increase the risk at each crossing. Additional safety improvements were evaluated to judge their effectiveness in counteracting this increase. The extents of this analysis included only those crossings that would be affected by a change in speed. These include the 10 downtown crossing located between Apgar Street and Minnesota Street. The other crossings in the corridor would maintain their existing speed limits of 30 mph or greater. The results of this analysis are shown in Table 2. The first column in blue represents the existing risk levels in the corridor at 10 mph. The second column in orange represents the http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/xings/com_roaduser/07010/sec03.htm 2 https://safetydata.fra.dot.gov/quiet/ 3 Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 12 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis change in risk levels following the increase in speed to 25 mph. The third column in gray represents the risk levels after additional crossing upgrade are implemented at some of the crossings. The upgrades included in this scenario include the installation of two-quadrant gate systems at the crossings that are currently only equipped with flashing lights. The cost estimate of $400,000 per crossing is based on coordination with MnDOT, UPRR, and similar upgrades recently installed at Apgar Street and Scott Street. This information is also presented graphically in Figure 4. The average existing risk level for these crossings is 5,509. After the increase in train speed, the risk is anticipated to rise to 7,414. The installation of gate upgrades at seven of the 10 crossings will bring the risk down to 6,050, still 10 percent higher than the existing risk level. No risk reduction is credited for Apgar Street, Scott Street, or Atwood Street since these crossings are already equipped with these gate upgrades. The estimated total cost of these improvements is $2,800,000.

The results of this analysis are shown in Table 3andcloselymirror the results of the previous analysis. In addition to the installation of two-quadrant gate systems, an additional four-quadrant gate system is proposed at Spencer Street.The cost estimate of $900,000 for this improvement is also based on coordination with MnDOT and UPRR. This information is also presented graphically in Figure 5. The addition of the four-quadrant gate significantly reduces the risk level at Spencer Street and brings the average risk level down to 5,232, five percent lower than the existing risk level.It is important to note that while the average risk level in the corridor is lowered to below the existing risk level, individual crossings (specifically Apgar Street, Scott Street, and Atwood Street) will have risk levels that are higher than their current levels.The estimated total cost of these improvements is $3,300,000.

There is no one size fits all treatment for railroad crossing controls. The limited crash history in Shakopee speaks to the effectiveness of the current warning devices. However, increases to roadway traffic volumes and railroad volumes and speed will increase the collision risk at these crossings and the current warning devices may not be sufficient. The improvement options summarized below are consistent with the recommendations of the FRA’s Train Horn Rule as it applies to quiet zone safety improvements. Each of the options has a range of safety benefits as well as potential limitations and drawbacks. Cost estimates are also included for each improvement option. These represent planning level costs. More detailed cost estimates should be prepared before committing to a specific improvement scenario. Basic Crossing Upgrade (Gates, Flashing Lights, and CWT) The most basic crossing improvement available is an upgrade to gates, flashing lights and constant warning time (CWT) train detection as described previously in the Current Warning Devices section. The relative safety benefit of this upgrade depends on the existing crossing characteristics and warning devices (crossbucks/stop sign vs. flashing lights). An upgrade from flashing lights results in a risk reduction of approximately 15 to 20 percent. For quiet zone purposes, this upgrade is mandatory for each crossing in the proposed quiet zone corridor. The cost of this improvement is typically estimated at $250,000 per crossing. However, based on specific site conditions at these crossings, the estimated upgrade cost is $400,000. This estimate is based on coordination with MnDOT and UPRR as well as the cost of similar upgrades at Apgar Street and Scott Street. The main reason for the higher cost is the difficulty of installing CWT. For CWT to function correctly, the detectors must be placed at a specific distance from the crossing. Due to the high density of crossings through the downtown area, the detectors at each crossing must be wired to “look through” the adjacent crossings. This added wiring complexity is the driver behind the increased cost estimate. The Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 15 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis installation of these crossing upgrades is handled by the railroad and construction costs are determined on a crossing-by-crossing basis. Non-Traversable Medians/Channelization Devices The purpose of two-quadrant gates is to provide a physical barrier to prevent motorists from travelling over the crossing when a train is approaching. However, it is not uncommon for motorists to ignore the warning and circumvent the gate to “beat the train.” One strategy to address this illegal maneuver is the use of non-traversable medians or channelization devices. Motorists must drive over the median or through the channelization devices in order to circumvent the gate. To qualify as “non-traversable”, the median must be at least six inches tall, but heights of eight or even ten inches are recommended where possible. This extra height eliminates the risk of installing substandard medians through construction error and provides an opportunity to install a pavement overlay in the future without affecting the effectiveness of the medians. Medians provide risk reduction of 80 percent, comparable to other crossing improvement options. At a cost of approximately $300 per linear foot ($60,000 for two 100-foot medians at a crossing), medians provide a very cost-effective option. Channelization devices provide a risk reduction of 75 percent and cost less than medians at approximately $20,000 to $30,000 for 200 feet of delineators. However, channelization devices are more susceptible to damage from roadway vehicles and must be continually maintained to ensure their effectiveness. Unfortunately, the unique configuration of the downtown Shakopee crossings prevents the use of medians or channelization devices. Installation of either improvement would block through-traffic on Second Avenue. As such, they are not viable options for the downtown crossings, but may be used on other crossings in the corridor. Four-Quadrant Gates A four-quadrant gate system consists of four gates that block both the approach and departure side of the roadway. It prevents motorists from driving around the gate arm as it completely blocks the roadway. Vehicle detection loops are often installed in between the gates to ensure that the exit gates do not close until the crossing is clear, preventing vehicles from being “trapped.” Four-quadrant gates provide risk reduction of between 77 and 82 percent, but typically cost between $700,000 and $800,000 per crossing. For the Shakopee crossings, a cost of $900,000 was assumed based on coordination with MnDOT and UPRR. The higher than average cost is due to the complexities of CWT installation cited earlier. While expensive, four-quadrant gates are often the only improvement option available for the Shakopee crossings. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 16 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Train Safety Analysis Closures Crossing closure is a very effective means of achieving risk reduction in a corridor as the risk at the closed crossing is completely eliminated. However, because the crossing is permanently closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic, the impacts to traffic patterns in the surrounding area must be understood before pursuing this option. Good candidates for closure include crossings with low traffic volumes and alternate crossings located nearby. It is assumed that the traffic volumes at the crossing will be diverted to adjacent crossing, slightly increasing their risk levels. Typically, some sort of concrete barrieror fence is constructed to prevent motorists and pedestrians from entering the crossing. From the railroad perspective, closures are highly desirable as they eliminate a point of potential conflict for their trains. Both the railroads and MnDOT will typically provide a financial incentive of $7,500 each for a closure. While this sum is relatively small, it is usually enough to pay for the closure modification, making this a cost-neutral improvement. In some cases, the railroad may also be willing to contribute more funding if multiple closures are proposed. One-Way Streets Another crossing improvement option is to convert a two-way street to a one-way street. Two gate arms on one side prevent all motorists from entering the crossing. This is appropriate when it is feasible to change the traffic flow of the roadway. This option generally requires a second “paired” street to be converted to one-way to provide a travel option in the opposite direction. Wayside Horns Wayside horns are an improvement option that attempts to reduce train horn noise rather than fully eliminate it. Wayside horn units are mast mounted at each crossing and direct the horn noise at the roadway approaches. Theoretically, the horn sound is more concentrated in a single area and less disruptive due to the directed nature of the horns. However, many communities that have installed these devices have been unhappy with the results and are in the process of replacing them with other improvement options. Wayside horns were discussed as an option during this study, but none have been recommended for installation. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 17 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Quiet Zone Analysis IV.QUIET ZONE ANALYSIS Overview The sounding of horns at highway-rail crossings is regulated by the FRA under federal law 49 CRF Part 222 – Use of Locomotive Horns at Public Highway-Rail Grade Crossings. Train Horn Rule). The Train Horn Rule requires railroads to sound their horns at all public crossings and specifies the decibel level, sounding pattern, and timing. Subpart C of the Rule outlines the steps necessary to implement a quiet zone, defined as a grouping of one or more consecutive crossings at which the routine sounding of horns is not required. Horns may still be sounded in the case of an emergency or when construction activities are taking place next to the track, but the routine sounding of every train is eliminated. Minimum Requirements A quiet zone must be at least one half-mile long and there must be at least one quarter-mile spacing between the last quiet zone crossing and the next non-quiet zone crossing. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that horns sounded for non-quiet zone crossings do not interfere with the quiet zone. Depending on the train speed, a locomotive will begin sounding its horn at a distance of up to one quarter-mile from the crossing. If a second crossing were located within that quarter-mile distance, the locomotive would be required to sound its horn for the first crossing before it arrived at the second crossing, making a quiet zone impossible at the second crossing. At a minimum, each public crossing in the proposed zone must have gates and flashing lights with power out indicators, and constant warning time (CWT) detectors. The Train Horn Rule does not require that private crossings be equipped to this same standard. However, private crossings within the limits of the potential quiet zone are reviewed during the diagnostic meeting to identify any safety issues or other concerns. Risk Calculations The FRA evaluates potential quiet zones using a complex risk assessment calculation. The FRA’s online Quiet Zone Calculator is used to calculate the risk index at each crossing. This risk index is a measure based on a number of conditions such as train volumes and speed, highway traffic volumes, crossing geometry, and crash history. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 18 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Quiet Zone Analysis The FRA determines the viability of quiet zone implementation by comparing three risk index values: QZRI – The Quiet Zone Risk Index is the average of the risk indices for each crossing in a proposed quiet zoneassuming horns are not routinely sounded. RIWH – The Risk Index With Horns is the average risk index for each crossing in a proposed quiet zone assuming no additional safety improvements and the routine sounding of horns. NSRT – The Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold is the average risk level for all highway-rail crossings in the United States that are equipped with flashing lights and gates and at which locomotive horns are routinely sounded. The NSRT is recalculated annually to reflect existing risk trends. The current value of the NSRT is 14,347. The QZRI for a proposed quiet zone is reduced through the implementation of FRA- approved Supplementary Safety measures (SSMs) and/or Alternative Safety Measures (ASMs). If the QZRI is reduced below the NSRT alone, the quiet zone may be implemented, but the FRA will conduct an annual risk review to ensure that the quiet zone improvements still comply with the Quiet Zone Final Rule and that the QZRI is still below the NSRT. If the QZRI is reduced below the RIWH using SSMs at every crossing, the quiet zone may be implemented and the public authority must provide an update to the FRA every five years stating that the safety measures implemented to achieve the quiet zone are still in place as proposed. If the QZRI is reduced below the RIWH without the use of SSMs at every crossing, this update to the FRA must be provided every three years. Approved Crossing Improvements The FRA has pre-approved a variety of Supplementary Safety Measures (SSMs) to be used to improve safety at each crossing. These options and their corresponding risk reduction values are as follows: Closure or Grade Separation (100 percent risk reduction) Four-Quadrant Gates (77-82 percent risk reduction) Channelization Devices (e.g. Tuff Curb, Qwick Kurb) (75 percent risk reduction) Non-Traversable Medians (80 percent risk reduction) One-Way Street (82 percent risk reduction) Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 19 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Quiet Zone Analysis Of these improvements, four-quadrant gates and non-traversable medians are the most commonly used. Channelization devices are also frequently used in place of non-traversable medians where cost, narrow roadway width, or other roadway conditions must be considered. However, the delineators can be damaged easily during snow removal operations, necessitating ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Non-traversable medians and channelization devices must also meet minimum length requirements in order to be used for full risk reduction credit. The FRA mandates that medians/delineators must extend a minimum of 100 feet from the crossing gate arm. However, a 60-foot median/delineator is also acceptable if a longer median/delineator would interfere with either a public roadway or a commercial driveway. Medians and delineators that are shorter than these standards may still be used, but are considered Alternative Safety Measures (ASMs). Risk reduction for reduced length medians is applied on a prorated basis. The use of ASMs for risk reduction credit triggers a requirement for the public authority to submit a Quiet Zone Application. This additional documentation carries a 60-day review period and allows the FRA to confirm the risk reduction effectiveness of ASMs estimated by the public authority. Quiet Zone Review and Implementation Process This section outlines the steps necessary for quiet zone implementation from the initial review process through the final FRA documentation. Each step of the process is described in more detail below. Diagnostic Meeting The diagnostic is an on-site field review meeting between the City, railroad, and other stakeholders affected by the proposed quiet zone. The purpose of this meeting is for the group to collectively identify the most appropriate SSMs and/or ASMs at each crossing and to discuss any safety concerns or other issues noted within the corridor. The diagnostic meeting for the proposed Shakopee quiet zone was conducted on June 30, 2015. The meeting included representatives from the City, UPRR, the FRA, MnDOT, and private businesses adjacent to the private crossings. A summary of the discussion items and the identification of potential crossing improvement options with detailed specification are included in Appendix C. Throughout this process, SRF has been in close coordination with the Shakopee City Council’s Railroad Safety Committee. Meeting minutes for the two meetings with this committee are included in Appendix D. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 20 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Quiet Zone Analysis Determination of Preferred Crossing Improvements Based on the information presented in this report, the City will determine whether it is appropriate to proceed with quiet zone implementation. Four crossing improvement scenarios have been developed for review and consideration by the City. Submit Notice of Intent Once the preferred crossing improvements are selected, the first step in the quiet zone implementation process is the submittal of a Quiet Zone Notice of Intent (NOI) to the FRA and other stakeholders (UPRR, MnDOT, private businesses, etc.). The purpose of the NOI is to officially alert the stakeholders of the City’s intent to implement a quiet zone. The proposed crossing improvements and any other pertinent information are also typically summarized in this document. All recipients of the NOI are allowed 60 days to provide comments. Submit Quiet Zone Application In cases where ASMs are used for crossing improvements, the FRA requires the submittal of a Quiet Zone Application. This purpose of the Application is to allow the FRA to confirm the risk reduction rates assumed for the ASM improvements. The Application is subject to a 60-day review, but based on prior experience, the City should anticipate a review period of six to nine months. Install Proposed Crossing Improvements Once the NOI and Application have been approved by the FRA and any comments from stakeholders have been addressed, the City may begin the physical construction of the preferred crossing improvements. The City may also begin this installation prior to approval of the two documents, but any changes to the improvements by the FRA must be incorporated. Submit Notice of Establishment Once these improvements have been constructed, the final step is the submittal of a Notice of Quiet Zone Establishment (NOE) to the FRA and all applicable stakeholders. The railroad must cease the routine sounding of horns 21 days after the submittal of the NOE. The City will be required to provide an update to the FRA every one to five years (depending on which qualification criteria are used to establish the quiet zone) confirming that the improvements proposed in the NOE are still in place and functional. The FRA will inform the City when these updates are required. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 21 SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Quiet Zone Analysis Crossing Improvement Scenarios Four crossing improvement scenarios were developed for this study, all of which would qualify the corridor for quiet zone implementation. Based on discussions with the City, it was determined that the official extents of the quiet zone would be from the private crossing on the west side of the Rahr facility to Shenandoah Drive. Canterbury Drive was excluded from the scenarios at this time. All four scenarios were calculated based on the most recent daily traffic counts and train volumes. For each scenario, the analysis was completed twice: once assuming a train speed of 10 mph and a second time assuming a train speed of 25 mph. A summary of the various crossing improvement scenarios and their total estimated constructions costs are summarized in Table 4. The detailed risk calculation worksheets are included in Appendix E.

Quiet Zone Analysis Scenario 1: Minimal Improvements Scenario 1 includes onlythe minimum upgrades necessary to achieve a quiet zone by installing improvements sufficient to bring the QZRI below theNSRT threshold. Implementing a quiet zone using the NSRT threshold (rather than the RIWH threshold) requires an annual risk evaluation by the FRA. If traffic volumes and/or train volumes increase, or if there are collisions at one or more crossings, the QZRI may rise to a level above the NSRT. Additionally, the NSRT is updated annually and may become lower than the current value of 14,347. In the event that this occurs, the City would have three years to implement additional improvements sufficient to bring the QZRI below the NSRT. Scenario 1a assumes that trains will operate at 10 mph. All crossings that are not currently equipped with gates (Fuller Street to Minnesota Street) would be upgraded to the minimum requirements of gates, flashing lights, and CWT. While the upgraded gates do not provide risk reduction, the resulting QZRI for the corridor is below the NSRT, but not below the RIWH. The estimated cost for these crossing upgrades is $2,800,000.

Quiet Zone Analysis Scenario 1b assumes trains will operate at 25 mph. The higher train speed increases the QZRI to the point that it will not meet the NSRT threshold without additional crossing improvements.

Installation of medians Shenandoah Dr. These additional crossing improvements reduce the QZRI to a level below the NSRT, but not below the RIWH. This represents the least expensive scenario at $2,077,500.

All crossings that are not currently equipped with gates would be upgraded to the minimum requirements of gates, flashing lights, and CWT. Scenario 2a assumes the following improvements: Installation of four-quadrant gates at Spencer Street and Market Street. Installation of channelized delineators on the existing medians at Marschall Road Installation of medians at Sarazin Street and partial closure of the commercial access in the southwest quadrant of the intersection.

Quiet Zone Analysis Scenario 3: One-Ways Used One-way street conversions are the focus of Scenario 3. This scenario was developed in order to reduce costs associated with four-quadrant gates and still allow all crossings to remain open. Converting a street to one-way is an effective alternative to installing the more expensive four-quadrant gate systems. With one-way streets, only two gates on one side of the crossing need to be installed to prevent traffic from circumventing the warning devices. This results in lower installation and equipment costs as compared to a four-quadrant gate. However, significant modifications to traffic flow are required to implement one-way streets in Shakopee. Pairing of one-way streets is generally required to promote adequate traffic flow and reduce confusion. After discussions with the City, it was determined that Holmes Street and Sommerville Street provided the best opportunity for conversion to a one-way pair. Scenarios 3a and 3b assume train speeds of 10 mph and 25 mph respectively. Improvements under each scenario were identical and assumed the following: Conversion of Holmes Street and Sommerville Streets to one-ways Installation of four-quadrant gates at Lewis Street and Spencer Street Installation of channelized delineators on the existing medians at Marschall Road Installation of medians at Sarazin Street and partial closure of the commercial access in the southwest quadrant of the intersection. Installation of medians at Shenandoah Dr. These improvements qualify the corridor by reducing the QZRI to below the RIWH. The estimated cost of these improvements is $3,937,500. Figure 10.

Four-quadrant gates are the primary safety measure used in this scenario. Scenarios 4a and 4b assume train speeds of 10 mph and 25 mph respectively. Improvements under each scenario were identical and assumed the following: Installation of four-quadrant gates at Holmes Street, Lewis Street, Sommerville Street, and Spencer Street Installation of channelized delineators on the existing medians at Marschall Road Installation of medians at Sarazin Street and partial closure of the commercial access in the southwest quadrant of the intersection.

However, this is also the most expensive of the scenarios with an estimated cost of $4,877,500. Shakopee Train Safety/Quiet Zone Study 28 SRF Consulting Group, Inc.

Conclusions V.CONCLUSIONS This study evaluated the potential effects on safety as a result of increasing train speed through downtown Shakopee from the current 10 mph to 25 mph. Both the risk of train derailment and the risk of collision at each crossing were evaluated. Evaluating the change in derailment risk is difficult given the many influencing factors such as speed, train length, and track condition. A review of existing literature on train safety finds that poor track condition is the most prominent cause of derailments, regardless of all other factors. Track classification standards also play a strong role in predicting both the severity and the likelihood of derailments. The findings of this review show that as track classification increases, the severity of derailments increases slightly (due to higher speeds), but the likelihood of a derailment is significantly diminished. The UPRR track through downtown Shakopee is currently classified as a class 4 track with a maximum speed of 60 mph. With a proposed speed increase from 10 mph to 25 mph, the potential change in derailment likelihood and severity is not anticipated to be significant. The findings of this review also show that an increase in train speed will increase the collision risk at highway-rail at-grade crossings. The proposed increase in train speed from 10 mph to 25 mph will only affect the 10 downtown crossing located between Apgar Street and Minnesota Street and the current warning devices at these crossings may not be sufficient. Upgrading the warning devices at crossings to gates, flashing lights, and CWT detectors would largely mitigate the increase in collision risk at many of these crossings. This study also evaluated the potential for the implementation of a quiet zone through the City based on the requirements of the FRA’s Train Horn Rule. With guidance from the Shakopee City Council Railroad Safety Committee, a number of crossing improvement scenarios were developed based on the goals and needs of the City. The estimated construction costs for the scenarios ranged from $2,077,500 to $4,877,500. Many of the construction costs were related to necessary gate and signal system upgrades. The proposed scenarios were also presented at a Shakopee City Council workshop. Due to high costs, a recent decline in UPRR train volumes, and a lack of financial commitments from other partners (UPRR, MnDOT, Hennepin County, etc.) the Committee is not recommending the implementation of a quiet zone at this time. The Committee recommends that the train speed limit in the downtown portion of the corridor remain at 10 mph. If the City wishes to proceed with quiet zone implementation at some point in the future, the information in this report will form the basis of that undertaking, but will need to be updated to reflect any significant changes in train/traffic volumes, existing crossing warning devices, and other site conditions.

A copy of the sign-in sheet with contact information is provided as an attachment. The meeting began with introductions and a brief project overview. The purpose of the meeting was to investigate and gather input on the various Supplemental Safety Measure (SSM) and Alternative Safety Measure (ASM) options available to the city as they begin their quiet zone assessment process. The meeting was also intended to identify any other concerns or issues related to the crossings such as safety, traffic, operations, etc. Twenty crossings, located along the Union Pacific railroad between 3rd Avenue and Canterbury Road, were identified for review. Sixteen of these crossings are public. The railroad in this area runs down the center of 2nd Avenue for much of the corridor. Meeting packets were distributed to the diagnostic team. The packets included the following materials: Blank evaluation forms for each crossing for diagnostic team members to document their 1. preferred SSM/ASM improvement options and other field notes. 8.5x11 aerial map of the railroad and an aerial map of each crossing 2. Preliminary risk calculations 3. Quiet Zone terminology reference sheet 4. U.S. Department of Transportation Crossing Inventory Forms 5. U.S. Department of Transportation Accident Reports (within the past 5 years) 6. Many of the crossings in the proposed corridor are equipped only with flashing lights. In order to implement a quiet zone, each public crossing must be equipped with the minimum requirements of gates, flashing lights, and constant warning time (CWT) detectors. Due to the close spacing of the crossings through the downtown area, the installation of CWT detectors is anticipated to be more difficult than usual. MnDOT and UP representatives noted that each upgrade would cost between $300,000 and $400,000. One way of limiting the need for these minimum requirements would be through the closure of one or more crossings. MnDOT noted that they would contribute $10,000 per closure if the City pursues this option. UP noted that they would also contribute funding for closures. However, the 1 Shakopee, MN Quiet Zone Page 2 Diagnostic Team Meeting Minutes exact amount would depend on the location and the number of closures implemented. The diagnostic team also noted that these closures would need to be full closures rather than conversions to pedestrian-only crossings. The diagnostic team recommended that fencing should be used if any crossings are closed in order to prevent pedestrian trespassing. There must be a 10- foot clear distance between the fence and the track. This clear distance would likely require substantial roadway modifications and would potentially impact parking availability. While a fence would not be required per the FRA Train Horn Rule, UP indicated that a decision to not install a fence may impact their potential funding contributions. The following is a summary of issues noted by the diagnostic team that apply to one or more crossings in the proposed quiet zone corridor: nd considered for installation along 2 Avenue. The implementation of gates, flashing lights, and CWT detectors at each crossing will require the installation of additional signal cabinets. Many existing signal cabinets would also need to be upgraded to a larger size. If a quiet zone is pursued, the City will coordinate with UP to identify the specific locations of these cabinets. A summary of the notes, discussion items, and recommended SSM/ASM improvements for each crossing is provided in the tables on the following pages.

Many of the vehicles near this crossing appear to be parked on UP right-of-way. The on-site manager noted that he would prefer that trains keep sounding horns for employee safety. Due to sight limitation and the use of larger vehicles crossing the train tracks, the train horn provides an additional safety measure. Additional warning signage will be required if this crossing becomes a quiet zone. The City will coordinate with the property owner on any action taken at this crossing for quiet zone implementation.

On account of the narrow roadway width (21 ft.) and skew at this crossing, the use of non-traversable medians or channelized delineators will not be feasible at this crossing. Nearby driveway access to the northeast will need fencing or another type of barrier to ensure vehicles do not cut through gates when a train is approaching. High vegetation growth provides sightline restrictions. Diagnostic team recommends providing only the minimum treatments of lights and gates. While this crossing is noted as public in the FRA grade crossing inventory, it is treated by the city as private (local property owners are responsible for plowing, etc.). Following the diagnostic meeting, the City and MnDOT reviewed historic right-of-way maps for this area and determined that the crossing should in fact be listed as private.

Quiet Zone Analysis Appendix D: City of Shakopee City Council’s Railroad Safety Committee Meeting Minutes Record of Meeting SRF No. 8834 Location: Shakopee City Hall Conference Room Client: City of Shakopee Date: June 1, 2015 Subject: Railroad Safety Committee Meeting 1 Attendees: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director Kris Wilson, Acting City Administrator Samantha DiMaggio, Economic Development Coordinator Matt Lehman, Councilor Mike Luce, Councilor From: Andy Mielke, SRF Consulting Group Inc. Chris Ryan, SRF Consulting Group Inc. Summary of Meeting The purpose of this meeting was to present information to the Railroad Safety Committee regarding the train safety and quiet zone review process and to gain additional feedback and information on the project. SRF began by presenting an overview of the quiet zone implementation process. At a minimum each crossing must be equipped with gates, flashing lights, and constant warning time (CWT) detectors. Many of the Shakopee crossings are currently equipped with only flashing lights and would need to be upgraded to be eligible for the quiet zone. This minimum upgrade is typically estimated at approximately $250,000, but the final cost is determined by the railroad on a crossing by crossing basis. SRF also presented the various supplementary safety measures (SSMs) and alternative safety measures (ASMs) that are pre-approved by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for use in quiet zones. The purpose of these safety measures is the increase the safety of the crossings to balance the decrease in safety as a result of removing the routine sounding of the horn. Non- traversable medians are the most commonly used crossing improvement due to their relatively low cost (approximately $10,000 to $100,000 per crossing) and high effectiveness. However, the physical layout of the rail corridor through downtown Shakopee with parallel roadways immediately adjacent to the railroad prevents the use of medians. The most likely candidates for improvement at these crossings are four-quadrant gates or the implementation of one-way streets. Another potential improvement option is closure. A closure eliminates all risk at a crossing, but will increase the risk at adjacent crossings due to diverted traffic and will also have potential impacts on the traffic flow on nearby roadways. In the event that a crossing improvement scenario is developed Bruce Loney June 1, 2015 City of Shakopee Page 2 which included crossing closures, SRF will also complete a review of the impacts to traffic on adjacent roadways. SRF also noted that crossing closures are highly desired by the railroads and can sometimes be used as a bargaining tool to get funding contributions from the railroad. The conversion of a crossing to a pedestrian crossing was also discussed. While this would eliminate the risk at the crossing from a quiet zone perspective, railroads typically will not provide funding contributions unless the crossing is closed completely. It was also noted that the closure of crossings may require the installation of fencing to prevent pedestrians from trespassing over railroad right of way. SRF then presented a preliminary summary of the risk analysis for each crossing. The risk analysis is based on a formula developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration that takes into account a number of factors including existing railroad and highway volumes and speeds, crossing geometry, and previous crash history. Canterbury Road is currently the crossing with the highest risk due to relatively higher traffic volumes and a rail-vehicle crash that occurred within the past five years. Analysis was also completed to assess the change in risk as a result of the potential increase in speed from 10 mph to 25 mph through the downtown area. If this speed change is implemented, the risk levels at these crossings would increase by approximately 50 percent. It was also noted that the potential speed limit change is proposed at 25 mph rather than 15 or 20 mph due to railroad operational concerns. Railroads typically avoid train speeds between 12 and 24 mph since this increases the risk of harmonic rock and roll, a phenomenon which can cause some rail cars to rock back and force, increasing the risk of derailment. bargaining chip to be used in negotiation with the railroads for the funding of rail safety and/or quiet zone improvements. However, concern was expressed regarding the potentially greater impacts in the event of a derailment. Concern was also expressed about the potential vibrational impacts on older buildings in town. SRF will work with the City and the Railroad Safety Committee to determine if additional vibrational analysis and field measurements should be completed as part of the train safety evaluation. A quiet zone diagnostic meeting is scheduled for June 30. The purpose of this meeting is to meet with the FRA, Union Pacific Railroad, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation to review each crossing and identify the potential crossing improvements and other safety improvements that would be necessary for quiet zone implementation. Bruce Loney noted that the City will look into scheduling a small bus to help facilitate the field review portion of this meeting. Record of Meeting SRF No. 8834 Location: Shakopee City Hall Council Chambers Client: City of Shakopee Date: August 10, 2015 Subject: Railroad Safety Committee Meeting 2 Attendees: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director Bill Reynolds, City Administrator Matt Lehman, Councilor Mike Luce, Councilor Chris Dellwo, Shakopee PD From: Andy Mielke, SRF Consulting Group Inc. Chris Ryan, SRF Consulting Group Inc. Summary of Meeting The purpose of this meeting was to present information from the diagnostic meeting to the Railroad Safety Committee. Various improvements options and scenarios were presented to the Committee as well. The following summary was provided: 1.The diagnostic meeting was held on June 30. Meeting participants included the City of Shakopee, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), MnDOT, and the Union Pacific Railroad. Private crossing representatives also participated in discussions at their crossings. A summary of the meeting and results are presented below: Cost of minimum upgrades (Gates, Flashing Lights, Constant Warning Time) Typically estimated at $250k o Estimated for Shakopee at $400k o Higher cost due to complicated CWT installation caused by proximity and number of crossings. Jim Weatherhead (MnDOT) noted that the recent upgrades at Apgar cost $400k. We will use this as our base cost for minimum upgrades. Closures UP and FRA prefer full closures over conversion to pedestrian crossings o No funds will be contributed to pedestrian conversion Tammy Wagner (FRA) pedestrian conversion. We believe this is incorrect since pedestrian crossings uphill battle for conversion. For full closures, the diagnostic team recommended fencing between adjacent o crossings to prevent trespassing. Bruce Loney August 10, 2015 City of Shakopee Page 2 f fencing in the event of a closure might affect UP funding contributions. Multiple instances of trespassing were witnessed during the meeting. rd West 3 Avenue public/private status Classified as public in FRA crossing inventory o Review by MnDOT found that this should be classified as a private crossing o A private status means that trains will only sound horns if there is someone stopped o at the crossing. No horns if no one is there. This reclassification means the quiet zone starting point can be moved to the Rahr crossings. Signal Cabinet Locations To allow for minimum upgrades, many new signal cabinets would need to be o installed and existing cabinets would need to be expanded. Some potential locations were identified during the meeting but further coordination would be needed between the City, UP, and property owners to finalize the locations. Majority of the private business crossing owners are indifferent to or not in favor of the quiet zone mainly because they want to ensure safety for their employees. These crossings include: rd 185339D: Private Business Access off of 3 Ave o 921273M: Rahr Access o 921272F: Rahr Access o 185325V: Cavanaugh Dr o 2.Various safety improvement options at each crossing were discussed with the Committee. These include: Closures Generally done at no cost to the city. Assumes funding contribution from o UP/MnDOT totaling $15,000 to cover roadway closure improvements (i.e., curb work, etc.). Based on the initial traffic review, it is recommended that the crossings at Holmes o Street, Lewis Street, Sommerville Street, and Spencer Street remain open. Potential crossing closure options include either Market or Minnesota and the Fuller o Street crossing. If the Fuller Street crossing is closed, may look to potentially move the TH 101 traffic signal to Atwood Street. Minnesota Street has no pertinent issues. The Apgar and Scott crossing could also be potential crossing options. However, o these crossings are already equipped with the minimum improvements necessary for a quiet zone. Closing either of these crossing would not make use of this prior investment. Medians or Delineators The installation of delineators is possible at the Marschall Road crossing on top of o the existing medianemental safety measure (SSM) and qualify for full QZ credit. Only other potential median location is at Sarazin Street. o One-way Streets Bruce Loney August 10, 2015 City of Shakopee Page 3 Based on a review of traffic circulation through the downtown area, one-way streets o could be made at Holmes Street (SB) and Sommerville Street (NB). It is recommended to keep Lewis Street as a two-way street. o Four Quadrant Gates During the diagnostic meeting, the UPRR stated that they prefer a 15-foot offset for o gate posts from the nearest rail. However, based on a review of the MUTCD, only 12- install four-quadrant gates the crossings along the Second Street corridor where minimal ROW is available. The newest gates at Apgar Street and Scott Street use the 12-foot offset. 3.Various crossing improvement scenarios were reviewed and discussed with the Railroad Safety Committee. The scenarios discussed are presented below and the results are included Attachment A. Scenario 0: Train speed increase; maintain existing safety, only minimum upgrades - No quiet zone. Need to determine what upgrades are needed to balance increased train speed. Scenario 1: This scenario looked at no speed increase and no closures. It would qualify for a QZ by getting below the Nationwide Significant Risk Threshold (NSRT) which is the national average for QZs. This risk level fluctuates and may presents problems in the future if the NSRT decreases. Scenario 2: This scenario included an increase in train speed and no crossing closures. This scenario is below the Risk Index With Horns (RIWH) which is the level of risk currently Scenario 3: This scenario included an increase in train speed and two crossing closures (Fuller Street and Minnesota Street). Closures eliminates the need for gate upgrades at Fuller Street and Minnesota Street o Eliminates the need for four-quad gates at Lewis Street o The Committee had various responses and suggestions regarding the Scenarios presented above. These included: Run additional scenarios with the Shenandoah Drive crossing. o Run additional scenarios without the one-way pairs (i.e., update Scenarios 1, 2, and o 3). The Committee felt that the conversion to one-way pairs is probably not feasible at this time and should be kept separate from the QZ analysis. Conduct some sensitivity analysis with increased train/vehicle traffic to see what o happens to the risk levels. The Committee would like to get input from additional City Council members on o these scenarios. They suggested having a Council Workshop to inform them about the QZ process and get their input on the proposed improvements with these scenarios. A closes City Council session was also recommended at some point to discuss the negotiations with the UPRR on the improvement costs, speed increases, and closures. $400,000$400,000$400,000$400,000$400,000$400,000$400,000 2,800,000 Estimated Cost MINNESOTA ST $ MARKET ST Improvement Gate UpgradeGate UpgradeGate UpgradeGate UpgradeGate UpgradeGate UpgradeGate Upgrade NoneNoneNone SPENCER ST 25 mph with Additional 6,050 4,5753,6307,6825,5376,2096,1476,6229,9695,2454,879 Improvements Risk Index: SOMMERVILLE ST Scenario 0: No Quiet Zone;

The Southbridge Crossing development will also be a transit-orientated and walkable center with mixed used development that will offer a range of housing choices and many employment opportunities. The site also has great access to major transit corridors and will promote housing opportunities which will assist the community to meet the housing needs for the growing employment which is vital for employers. As the growth of Shakopee continues, multifamily housing will be an important need for the community so it can offer housing options for its residents. The location of R-4 housing at this location is a great opportunity for multifamily development without significant impacts to low density housing.

This review should be considered preliminary, as more comments will follow with additional submittals. However, the natural resources division offers the following comments at this time to the applicant and to the planning department: General Conditions 1.The Tree Preservation Regulations (151.113) apply to this property. The proposed use of multi-family residential housing shall be treated as commercial site development in regards to the Tree Preservation Regulations (151.113). Recommendation Natural resources staff recommends approval of the Rezoning B1 to R4-Comp Plan Amendment & Text Amendment application subject to the items listed above being attached as conditions of the approval. 1 of 1 City of Shakopee aĻƒƚƩğƓķǒƒ TO: Kyle Sobota, Senior Planner FROM: Joe Swentek, Project Engineer SUBJECT: Rezoning Property from Highway Business (B-1) to Multiple Family Residential (R-4), Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Text Amendment PID #: 27-434002-0 CASE #: 15073 SUBLEDGER #: 115073 DATE: November 23, 2015 The application indicates a request to rezone the above referenced property to a newly created multiple family designation, a comprehensive plan amendment and for a text amendment. The rd 12.6 acre property is Outlot A of the Southbridge Crossings East 3 Addition and is located north of the transit station along Stagecoach Road. The engineering department has completed its review of the requests and offers the following preliminary comments at this time for the applicant and for the planning department: 1.A detailed traffic analysis will need to be performed to determine the impacts the rezoning request will have on existing infrastructure. Any required improvements to accommodate development will be the responsibility of the future developer. 2.The future developer should be aware a through-street extension from Crossings Boulevard to Stagecoach Road will be required. The preferred connection point is at th 13 Avenue. 3.The future developer should be aware the current curb cut on the north side of the existing Crossings Boulevard cul-de-sac is intended to be a shared access with the property to the west. It is preferred this connection be used as the access to eliminate poor intersection angles. 4.The future developer should investigate the possibility of eliminating the Crossings Boulevard cul-de-sac as part of a future development. It seems that with the shared access concept a cul-de-sac is unnecessary. 5.The future developer should contact the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDoT) regarding permission to upsize their existing storm basin for development purposes. This approach could help create more pervious area.

Super America, Culvers, Warner Stellian and Ashley Furniture expressed concern th with loss of left-turns at the existing 12 Avenue with this concept. They rely on th southbound CH 83 traffic accessing 12 Avenue to get to their businesses as much as northbound traffic. They said this is particularly important during the summer months when traffic is higher due to Valley Fair and Canterbury Park operations. Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc.

The purpose of this coordination was to gather their input on potential access modifications along CH 83 and to learn what works/doesn’t work for their businesses. Chris recapped the input received: Canterbury’s development plans remain in flux and a wholesale moving of the barns was determined not to be financially feasible. Chris said Canterbury is still considering options for smaller development areas occurring in phases over time. Chris said Canterbury did not have major objections to either of the future concepts but recognized that Future Concept 1 may give them more flexibility to better accommodate a future redevelopment of the first row of barns since this concept allows for a separation of event traffic from future development traffic on their site. th Mark said Canterbury’s plat is going to Planning Commission on November 5. Lisa said she would like to better understand right-of-way needs along CH 83 for all of the concepts under consideration. Bruce with Cantebury’s plat under consideration, now was the time to request additional right-of-way if needed. Kin Properties desires to maintain two full accesses to their site. They did not have concerns with moving their guard shack in general. The loss of parking along the south side of their building is not as critical to them as the loss of parking on the west side. They said the proximity of parking to the loading docks is important to their users. The west and east side loading docks are used equally. Kin Properties does not support a public road connection into their property at their north driveway. Also, they use the rail access to their property and would not be open to any changes that would affect their rail access. United Properties was open to consideration of Future Concept 2 which creates a new city street alignment on the west side of their property as long as their existing parking on could be maintained. Page 2 2.Review Revised Concepts Chris reviewed each of the three concept under consideration as follows: 2017 Project – Chris reviewed this project which includes capacity and safety th improvements at the 12 Avenue intersection. This includes signal operations/phasing th improvements, addition of dual left turn lanes, additional lanes on the west leg of 12 Avenue, access modifications and trail addition. Jake confirmed the outside curblines of this project will work with either of the future concepts. Jake noted the existing trail is outside of the right-of-way. Lisa requested a right-of-way figure from Bolton & Menk showing two options to acquire 150’ of standard minor arterial right-of-way. She requested the first option show the amount of right-of-way needed if acquired all from the west side of CH 83 and the second option show the right-of-way acquired from both sides equally. The SMT requested the name of this concept be changed to Near Term Project because th not all of it is currently programmed for 2017. Only the 4 Avenue Project is th programmed for 2017. The City/County will likely make signal modifications at 12 Avenue/CH 83 in 2016 but the trail additions and turn lane improvements are not currently programmed. Future Concept 1 – Chris reviewed Future Concept 1 which moves the primary intersection spacing of the first intersection north of the north interchange ramp. A new intersection would be created to serve Canterbury Park, requiring relocations of the first th row of barns, and a new city street connection to CH 83 on the east side. The existing 12 Avenue access would be modified to a ¾ access. Chris reviewed the rest of the primary intersection locations at the north Kin Properties driveway, a realigned Valley Industrial th Blvd South, 4 Avenue and CH 101. Chris stated this concept achieves better access spacing near TH 169 and therefore can accommodate high levels of future traffic. It also favors future development by accommodating redevelopment plans on the Canterbury site. Chris noted the challenges with this concept which include access and connectivity changes for existing businesses and requires substantial investment and private cooperation. Future Concept 2 – Chris reviewed Future Concept 2. He noted this concept maintains th 12 Avenue as a primary full access intersection. The next primary intersection was placed ¼ mile north and then the rest of the corridor is consistent with Future Concept 1. th Chris stated this concept favors existing businesses by maintaining full access at 12 Avenue. However, this concept is more limited in its ability to maintain future traffic th flow at 12 Avenue since the majority of traffic – event and future development – will th still access the Canterbury site through 12 Avenue. This leaves less flexibility for future development and still requires significant investment to implement. Chris reported this concept has a big impact to Kin Properties with the right-in/right-out at their south driveway. However, their site could be potentially reconfigured to accommodate full access at their north driveway. Lisa said it would be good to know how many of their trucks go south on TH 169. If their primary direction is north on TH 169, H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\1_Corres\\A_Meetings\\SMT\\SMT 4_2015-10-14\\SMT 4 Meeting Summary.doc Page 3 more could be redirected to use CH 101. 3.Traffic Study Update Jake provided a review of the traffic study analysis and findings. The following discussion was held on the traffic study: Jake noted the 2017 Project was included in the build condition. Lisa said the County has a county-wide project to improve signal operations programmed th for 2018. She said it may be possible to advance the 12 Avenue signal improvements to 2017. Jake confirmed there is no mitigation on the interchange ramps included with the 2017 Project. Jake said the Near Term Project does not provide much flexibility to accommodate future redevelopment. He noted the intersection started to fail at 30% more traffic than existing conditions. Lisa asked what was assumed for Canterbury redevelopment in the model. Chris explained that no Canterbury redevelopment was assumed since the uncertainty of what that development might be is so high. Lisa requested that the study report be clear that the Canterbury redevelopment was not included but can be added to the model in the future if it becomes more certain. 4.Next Steps Angie reviewed the next steps which includes additional coordination with property owners and a final public open house. The SMT reviewed the plan for open house materials. Bruce and Lisa requested the system connectivity maps be included at the open house. David requested the symbols for primary and secondary intersections be modified to something other than circles. He noted there is often confusion that these are indicated roundabouts. The public open house date was set for November 16, 2015 from 4-6 pm at Canterbury. Angie will work with city staff and the chamber to spread the word about the open house.

Attendees: Approximately 30 business representatives and interested citizens signed-in at the open house. City, county, and consultant project staff were also in attendance. Materials Presented: The meeting was set up in an open house format giving attendees the opportunity to view materials and visit with project staff at their leisure. The following information was available for public review and input: CH 83 Study Purpose Growth Areas Existing Traffic Operations Crash History Existing Access Inventory Access Management Comment Forms Comments Received: Public input was collected throughout the duration of the open house through discussions with staff and written comments. The following summarizes public comments collected: Written Comments One participant would like to know the type and number of collisions and other accidents at the intersection of Valley View Road and Canterbury Road. Verbal Comments Add a pedestrian/bicycle connection along CH 83 to the Minnesota Valley State Trail, north of CH 101. Growth in employees in this area has increased the desire to walk/bike to work. Additionally, many pedestrians/bicyclists are walking along the roadside of CH 101 and CH 83 to get to the Minnesota Workforce Center located on CH 83. Difficult for pedestrian/bicyclists to cross the CH 83 corridor. Need a safe crossing point north of Highway 169 near Culvers/Super America. Also need a safer way to cross at the CH 16/CH 83 Page 1 of 2 signal. This is a wide intersection and is difficult for pedestrians/bicyclists to cross with all of the traffic movements/lanes of traffic. One person questioned whether or not the Restaurant & Lounge (Disc Drive) is needed. Many attendees acknowledged a high number of crashes along the corridor. Safety was a primary concern. Speeds on CH 83 seem too high. The railroad poses a problem as it blocks CH 83 and Valley Park Drive for 10 minutes or more at th times; vehicles on Valley Park Drive make U-turns and use 12 Avenue/CH 83 to avoid waiting for the train. th Add double left-turn lanes to the westbound approach of 12 Avenue turning onto CH 83. Difficult during peak periods to take a left out of the Culvers driveway onto 12 th Avenue. th Eastbound to northbound left turn at the 17 Avenue/CH 83 signal is difficult. Green arrow only lets a few cars through on a cycle. Many businesses that have access off 12 th Avenue are on similar work shifts causing peak morning and evening rushes. Businesses off of Valley Industrial Blvd have shifts that are more spread out throughout the day. Flashing yellow arrows might help at some intersections. Consider adding on eastbound and westbound approaches at the CH 83/12 th Avenue traffic signal near Culvers. North Highway 169 off-ramp backs up in the morning; sometimes all the way to the mainline. This backup also happens during Canterbury, Valley Fair, and/or Mystic Lake events. General consensus that improvements to CH 83 area are needed. Questions on timing, who pays and what type of improvements would be considered. Many businesses interested in discussing improvement options further, particularly if they include changes to access at driveways or intersections. Page 2 of 2 City of Shakopee CH 83 (Canterbury Road) Corridor Readiness Study Open House #2 November 16, 2015 4:00 to 6:00 PM Canterbury Park Purpose: The purpose of the CH 83 (Canterbury Road) Open House was to gather public and business input on the range of roadway and access improvement concepts under consideration. Attendees: Approximately 22 business representatives and interested citizens signed-in at the open house. City, county, and consultant project staff were also in attendance. Materials Presented: The meeting was set up in an open house format giving attendees the opportunity to view materials and visit with project staff at their leisure. A brief presentation began at 5:00 PM. The following information was available for public review and input: CH 83 Study Purpose Growth Areas Draft Improvement Concepts (Near Term Project, Future Concept 1, Future Concept 2) Draft System Connectivity Concepts Comment Forms Comments Received: Public input was collected throughout the duration of the open house through discussions with staff and written comments. The following summarizes public comments collected: Written Comments One participant expressed support of the incorporation of trails and sidewalk additions in any alternative design chosen. The participant want to ensure safe accommodations are provided for pedestrians and bicyclists. One participant suggested that if changes needed to be made that double turning lanes for all left turns would improve conditions and future roadway improvements may not be needed beyond that. The General Manager for Holiday Inn Express and Suites favors Future Concept 2, suggesting that discussions with other business owners has uncovered a lack of support for Future Concept 1. There thth were concerns that the re-routed 12 Avenue with no immediate left hand turn onto existing 12 Avenue would make it difficult for customers and guests to get to the businesses. Page 1 of 2 One expressed that current access is sufficient but acknowledged the back-ups at 12 th Avenue. He suggested double left turn lanes on 12 th Avenue and two left turn lanes at the CH 83 and 12 th Avenue intersection would be sufficient to help with traffic flow. One participant expressed a desire for CH 16 between CR 21 and CH 83 be improved as it is a 2-lane roadway with no shoulders and is a safety concern. One participant suggested that his company located here because of the existing road system and would prefer no changes, but recognizes the benefit of double turn lanes. A representative of the Shakopee Bicycle Advisory Committee suggested a trail along 12 th Avenue East, east of CH 83, and consideration of 3-lane for 12 th Avenue East. This participant also suggested not building streets near retail without pedestrian facilities. Page 2 of 2 APPENDIX C M E M O R A N D U M Date: December 1, 2015 To: Bruce Loney, P.E. City Engineer, City of Shakopee, MN From: Jacob Bongard, P.E. Bolton & Menk, Inc. Subject: CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study Traffic Considerations Memorandum I. Introduction The objective of this report is to document and summarize the traffic operations for the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 83 corridor located in the City of Shakopee, Scott County, MN. The CSAH 83 corridor readiness study is needed to anticipate future traffic demands and make a cohesive plan to address capacity, safety, and supporting roadway network needs for this area. This report will consist of existing traffic conditions, crash history, expected future traffic conditions, proposed design concepts and other traffic and design recommendations. II. Background CSAH 83 is a minor arterial roadway providing a northbound and southbound connection between Trunk Highway (TH) 169 and other regional facilities such as CSAH 101, 16, 42, and 82. CSAH 83 provides access to some of the largest attractions in the metro area including Canterbury Park, Valley Fair, Mystic Lake Casino, and supporting services for attraction visitors. In addition to these entertainment areas, CSAH 83 provides access to a significant concentration of industrial development and future economic development areas. The City of Shakopee is experiencing an increase in development in the area surrounding CSAH 83 including a potential expansion of Canterbury Park, Amazon retail distribution center, and several manufacturing and industrial facilities. There are multiple undeveloped parcels within a close proximity of the CSAH 83 corridor that contribute to the growth anticipated throughout the study area.

Measure of Effectiveness The operational analysis results are described as a Level of Service (LOS) ranging from A to F. These letters serve to describe a range of operating conditions for different types of facilities. LOS is calculated based on the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual, which defines the level of service, based on control delay. Control delay is the delay experienced by vehicles slowing down as they are approaching the intersection, the wait time at the intersection, and the time for the vehicle to speed up through the intersection and enter into the traffic stream. The average intersection control delay is a volume weighted average of delay experienced by all motorists entering the intersection on all intersection approaches. The control delay is modeled within the macroscopic analysis software, Trafficware Synchro, and microscopic analysis software, Trafficware SimTraffic. LOS A through D is commonly taken as an acceptable design year LOS, but LOS C is generally perceived to be the acceptable limit in non-metropolitan communities. LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity and drivers experience substantial delay. The LOS and its associated intersection delay for a signalized and unsignalized intersection is Table 1 presented below in . The delay threshold for unsignalized intersections is lower for each LOS compared to signalized intersections, which accounts for the fact that people expect a higher level of service when at a stop-controlled intersection. Table 1: Level of Service Criteria Signalized Intersection Unsignalized Intersection LOS Control Delay per Vehicle (sec.) Control Delay per Vehicle (sec.) A 10 10 B >10 and 20 >10 and 15 C >20 and 35 >15 and 25 D >35 and 55 >25 and 35 E >55 and 80 >35 and 50 F >80 >50 IV. Existing Conditions A traffic analysis was completed to evaluate operations at 13 intersection on or near CSAH 83 corridor. CSAH 83 consists of a four-lane roadway carrying approximately 7,200 vehicles per day near CSAH 101 and 18,300 to 23,900 vehicles per day near the TH 169 interchange. The corridor consists of both signals and stop control conditions with turn lanes at some, but not all intersections. The existing traffic conditions produce delays and safety issues during events at Canterbury Park and Mystic lake Casino, especially when these events occur during weekday peak hour traffic. A. Data Collection 1. Traffic Counts Wenck Associates provided 3 hour traffic counts for the time period of 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm in March of 2015. These counts were used to establish a base condition for the amount of traffic that typically utilizes the corridor. The PM Peak hour counts are shown Figure 1 in . 13-hour traffic counts were collected in June of 2015 from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm. A Thursday in June was selected to capture both typical Valley Fair traffic as well as traffic related to events at Canterbury Park. Three peak hour traffic periods were selected for analysis: AM peak hour (7:00-8:00 AM), PM peak hour (4:30-5:30 PM), and Shift H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 3 Change peak hour (6:00-7:00 PM). The Shift Change peak hour was included to evaluate traffic conditions during Canterbury Park events in the summer months and employee shift changes at the amazon industrial building year-round. The 13-hour traffic counts were collected at the following intersections: CSAH 83 at CSAH 101 CSAH 83 at Valley Industrial Blvd. N. CSAH 83 at 4 th Avenue E. CSAH 83 at Valley Industrial Blvd. S. CSAH 83 at Barenscheer Blvd. CSAH 83 at 12 th Avenue CSAH 83 at Secretariat Drive CSAH 83 at North TH 169 Ramp CSAH 83 at South TH 169 Ramp CSAH 83 at Dean Lakes Blvd. CSAH 83 at CSAH 16 Eagle Creek Blvd. at Vierling Drive Vierling Drive at 12 th Avenue Figure 2 shows the existing summer intersection traffic counts.

The existing traffic operations analysis indicates that there are only two intersections presenting conditions worse than LOS C during the summer of 2015. The portion of the study area along CSAH 83 between 12 th avenue and CSAH 16 has some th movements of concern. The intersections of CSAH 83 at 12 Avenue, North TH 169 Ramp, South TH 169 Ramp, Eagle Creek Blvd. and CSHA 16 all experience limiting movement delays with LOS D or worse. All of the limiting movements at the aforementioned intersections involve traffic traveling northbound and southbound along H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 8 th CSAH 83. Maximum queue lengths at the intersections of CSAH 83 at 12 Avenue, North TH 169 Ramp, South TH 169 Ramp, and Eagle Creek Blvd. extend longer than the provided turn lane storage. This is a safety concern and it is anticipated to be amplified during events. The intersection of CSAH 83 and Eagle Creek Blvd. /Dean Lakes Blvd. has an overall LOS D during the AM and PM peak periods. Furthermore, all left turning movements and east and westbound thru movements have LOS F. Improvements were completed at the intersection of CSAH 83 and Eagle Creek Blvd. /Dean Lake Blvd. in 2004 where two thru lanes and dual left turn lanes were provided for all approaches. Additionally, a single right turn lane is provided for the north, south and west approaches and dual right turn lanes are provided for the east approach. The current capacity at this intersection suggests that these specific movement delays are expected in order to provide and overall sufficient LOS. th The intersection of CSAH 83 and 12 Avenue has an overall LOS D during the PM and Shift Change peak periods. The limiting movement for this intersection is the westbound left turning movement. Additionally, field observations revealed weaving issues are generated when motorists attempt to complete a northbound left turn at the intersection after turning right onto northbound CSAH 83 at the North TH 169 Ramp. The current 1/8-mile spacing between these two intersections is half of that required within the Scott County Minimum Access Spacing Guidelines between full access intersections. This problem is amplified during events at Canterbury Park when northbound left turn lane storage reaches capacity and traffic backs up into the North TH 169 Ramp intersection. C. Safety There have been a total of 175 crashes within the study area over the past five years (2010-2014). No fatal crashes were documented during this time period. However, two incapacitating crashes and 12 non-capacitating injuries occurred. The remaining crashes involved possible injury or Figure 3 property damage only. The number of crashes and there severity are shown in . Additionally, there were three crashes located at the railroad crossing with CSAH 83 just south of Figure 3 CSAH 101 in this time period that are not shown in . Detailed crash reports are provided Appendix B in of this report.

Crash rates were developed using the most recent AADT volumes provided by MnDOT. 13-hour turning movement counts were adjusted to represent daily volumes where AADTs were not available. According to the Traffic Safety Fundamentals Handbook developed by MnDOT, the critical crash rate is the most accurate and statistically reliable method for identifying hazardous crash locations. It accounts for the design of the facility, type of intersection control, amount of e calculated crash rate is greater than the critical crash rate for the intersection. The results can be Table 4 found in the far right columns of .

The intersections of CSAH 83 at Valley Industrial Blvd. N, 4 th Avenue E. and Valley Industrial Blvd. S., as well as Eagle Creek Blvd. at Vierling Drive, all display rates greater than statewide average but do not display the same amount of risk as the rates remain below the critical crash rate. The following language provides crash summaries at key intersections throughout the study area: th CSAH 83 at 12 Ave (Signal) 39 total crashes reported - 12 crashes were left turns, 10 crashes were right angles, and 10 crashes were rear ends. 1 crash involved a pedestrian. 2 of the crashes were the result of weather and/or poor road conditions. 1 crashed resulted in a non-capacitating injury. All other crashes were either possible injury of property damage only. CSAH 83 at CSAH 16 (Signal) 37 total crashes reported. 65% of crashes involved rear end collisions. A contributing factor may be the high northbound approach speeds at this intersection. 1 incapacitating injury occurred involving a vehicle making a left turn on a red light. 62% of crashes resulted in possible injury or worse. 1 crash involved person on a bicycle when a vehicle failed to yield.

Eagle Creek Blvd. at Vierling Drive (All-Way-Stop-Control) 10 of 14 crashes involved right angle crashes V. Traffic Forecasts A traffic forecast was developed for the study corridor using future daily traffic volumes attained from the 2040 Scott County travel demand model in conjunction with information attained from prior studies and the City of Shakopee. The turning movement counts collected in June of 2015 were used as the baseline for developing 2037 peak hour turning movement counts for AM, PM, and Shift Change peak periods during the summer months as well as a Holiday time period. The summer time period was selected to evaluate conditions when the recreational vehicle traffic traveling to and from Canterbury Park and Valley Fair reaches its peak. The Holiday period was also considered to evaluate the influx of traffic generated by the seasonal hiring and increased production occurring at the large industrial and manufacturing facilities during the months of November and December. The shift in traffic patterns between the summer and Holiday scenarios is the basis for which multiple evaluations are necessary to ensure the proposed mitigation is adequate in accommodating the anticipated future traffic volumes. It was determined following the completion of traffic counts that minor adjustments were needed to account for a shift in traffic patterns developed by a construction project involving road closures on CSAH 101 approximately three miles west of the study area. The peak hour turning movement counts completed by Wenck Consulting in the spring, prior to the road closure, were used as a means to adjust the collected traffic volumes to represent typical conditions. Existing Holiday traffic volumes were generated by removing additional summer traffic observed when comparing the March traffic counts to those collected in June. The primary adjustments included removing the trips traveling to and from Canterbury Park and Valley Fair via CSAH 83. The City Economic Development Coordinator was consulted regarding development anticipated along the CSAH 83 corridor as a way to identify key parcels that have completed recent expansion projects, are currently expanding, or are intending to expand in the future. The findings from this discussion are shown Figure 4, in below. The figure includes business names, types of business, and lastly the number of additional jobs that are expected to be generated from the proposed expansion. All assumptions were based upon development occurring following the turning movement counts completed on June 11, 2015. H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 12 Figure 4: CSAH 83 Development Forecasts In addition to the anticipated development shown in Figure 3, vehicle trips generated by the nearly one million square-foot Amazon facility, which is currently under construction, in the northeast corner of the th 4 Avenue at Shenandoah Drive intersection is included within the evaluation. The traffic impact study completed for the site includes detailed information provided by the project owner for the number of trips expected to enter and exit the site during the PM (4:305:30 pm) and Shift Change (6:00-7:00 pm) peak hours. AM peak hour volumes were developed using the inverse values of those displayed for the PM Table 5 peak hour. As shown in below, a significant number of additional trips are generated during the holiday months when compared to the typical months of January through October. Table 5: Amazon facility Vehicle Trips H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 13 The basis of distribution for the above mentioned trips originated from the methodology adopted in the previously developed AUAR for the Amazon Facility site. The trip distribution percentages used within the study were based upon the nearby roadway network, existing and expected future traffic patterns, locations of the subject development in relation to major attractions and population concentrations, and information provided within a previous AUAR. The North Parcel distribution is based upon the findings of this document. The middle and south parcel distributions were modified to reflect the change in traffic patterns and desired routes by both cars and trucks traveling to and from the proposed development. The assumption is that TH 169 becomes the primary roadway serving the proposed development in the middle and south locations due to proximity, ease of access, and travel time. Figure 5: Trip Distribution By Location Figure 4 The remaining development sites identified within were then evaluated to determine the number of vehicle trips generated by each site, the trip distribution that applies, and lastly the trip path that each Figure 5 vehicle trip will take through the network. The distribution of trip ends is shown in , above. Similar methodology was used in projecting the influx of seasonal trips developed by the Shutterfly facility with access off Dean Lakes Boulevard, south of TH 169. Additional trips are anticipated to occupy the network in the months of November and December as staffing is escalated to meet the increased demand during the holiday season. Baseline vehicle trip estimates were established using a Table 5 similar rate to that assumed for the Amazon Facility, see , but values were reduced to account for the footprint of the building being approximately ¼ of the size. It was then determined that vehicles trips to/from the Amazon Facility increase by approximately 7x of that observed during periods of standard operation throughout the holiday season. This rate was applied to the projected existing vehicle trips entering/exiting the site and the difference between the holiday trips and that during typical operations was applied to network during the Holiday evaluation period. The final development incorporated within the 2037 traffic forecast involves the undeveloped properties Figure 6 located south of TH 169, adjacent to CSAH 83. The parcels identified in are currently used for agricultural or mining purposes, but are anticipated to be redeveloped into commercial, residential, and industrial properties in the future. TAZ (Transportation Analysis Zone) information including population, households, retail jobs, and non-retail jobs was reviewed to better understand the output from the 2040 travel demand model. Trip generation was used to represent the majority of the growth anticipated within the corridor, but it did not encapsulate the growth anticipated south of TH 169 as the precise land use proposed on each parcel has not yet been identified. H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 14 Figure 6: Additional Corridor Development These vehicle trips were projected by first establishing a yearly growth rate based upon a comparison of existing daily traffic volumes and values displayed in the 2040 Travel Demand Model. The existing peak hour turning movement counts were used as the basis for which the growth was distributed as the vast majority of trips were anticipated to be traveling to and from TH 169. Therefore the additional vehicle trips added to the network travel through the intersection of CSAH 83 at CSAH 16 and disperse into the network based upon the distribution of the existing system.

Future Operations Analysis The traffic operation analysis utilizing forecasted traffic volumes on the existing roadway network revealed that multiple intersections are expected to operate at a LOS E or worse during various peak hours. The large increase in traffic due to the Amazon Facility during the holiday season is anticipated to increase the delay at the CSAH 83 and 4 th Avenue stop controlled intersection to an unacceptable LOS during the Shift Change period of the day. It is anticipated that current operational issues present at the 12 th avenue intersection will worsen beyond acceptable levels and cause significant delays and queuing at multiple th movements. The westbound approach is most impacted as continued growth along 12 Avenue creates a larger demand while the existing capacity remains as it is today. The TH 169 ramp intersections are also expected to see additional delays as traffic volumes rise and the capacity of the intersection remains constant. Overall intersection operations remain acceptable, but the delay and queuing of individual movements is impacted by the increase in conflicting vehicle movements. The intersections of CSAH 83 at Eagle Creek Blvd./Dean Lakes Blvd. and CSAH 16 are anticipated to see an increase in vehicles LOS and delays, but this is likely the product of signal timing at the intersection. An improvement project was completed at these intersections within the last decade that developed enough capacity to last well into the future. Each approach was provided, at a minimum, a single right-turn lane, two thru lanes, and two left-turn lanes. VII. Mitigations th Traffic concerns at CSAH 83 and 4 Avenue intersection include eastbound traffic during the th Shift Change Peak Hour. The mitigations to the CSAH 83 and 4 Avenue intersection are as follows: Add northbound left turn lane and expand road to accommodate for center median. Add eastbound right turn lane. th Traffic concerns at CSAH 83 and 12 Avenue intersection include northbound and westbound th left turning movements. The mitigation to the CSAH 83 and 12 Avenue intersection are as follows: Add westbound left turn lane for a total of two left turn lanes and one thru right turn lane. Allow protected movement for westbound left turns. Add northbound left turn lane for total of two left turn lanes, two thru lanes and one right turn lane. Allow protected movement for northbound left turns. Expand the segment of 12 th Avenue west of CSAH 83 to Disc Drive from the existing variable one-lane/two-lane westbound exit lanes to a continuous two westbound lanes with dedicated turn lanes. th The existing sidewalk on the east side of CSAH 83 between the TH 169 north ramp and 12 Avenue is to be kept in place. The existing curb and gutter should be kept in place as well to reduce right-of-way implications. The addition of the dual northbound left turn lanes results in changes to the median and alignment for the north leg of the intersection. Any additional right-of way necessary to construct the proposed expansion project at the intersection of CSAH 83 and H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 20 th 12 Avenue would occur on the north side of the road. The improvement project would also include the installation of permitted-protected flashing yellow arrow heads for the single eastbound and southbound left turns at the intersection to improve operations and reduce vehicles queues.

Mitigation Operations Analysis A traffic operations analysis was completed to understand the effectiveness of the proposed improvements in accommodating the traffic volumes forecasted at study area intersections in the year 2037. In general, the mitigation is anticipated to reduce the overall delay at multiple intersections that were previously anticipated to exceed acceptable levels of service with the existing geometry. This includes the intersection of thth CSAH 83 at 4 Avenue, CSAH 83 at 12 Avenue, CSAH 83 at TH 169 North Ramp, and CSAH 83 at TH 169 South Ramp. Geometric improvements were not completed at the TH 169 Ramp intersections, but the traffic flow improvements at the 12 th Avenue intersection allowed traffic to more effectively move through the intersection. The intersections of CSAH 83 at Eagle Creek Blvd./Dean Lakes Blvd. and CSAH 16 are anticipated to continue to operate at a LOS D or worse during the AM Peak Hour of the summer and holiday evaluation periods. As mentioned previously, the capacity of these intersections should be able to accommodate the anticipated volumes and traffic signal timings will likely need to be adjusted to improve overall operations at the intersection. In addition to the reduction in vehicle delays at the intersection, the mitigations are anticipated to reduce maximum queue lengths to within the allotted storage lengths for turn lanes at 12 th Avenue and 4 th Avenue. Reducing the queue lengths and keeping turning vehicles in their turn lanes is an important safety measure. These mitigations, th specifically adding a second northbound left turn lane at 12 Avenue, should reduce existing queuing back up into the North TH 169 Ramp intersection. VIII. Future Concepts Two future concepts were developed based on the current and potential development in the area. These concepts were developed with the idea that the aforementioned mitigation concept would be implemented. Primary intersection spacing of ¼ mile is maintained along CSAH 83. The following ideas were maintained for both future concepts: th Provide a continuation of the existing 12 Avenue to Vierling Drive with a 30 mph curve to establish a continuous roadway. The existing Canterbury Park entrance connects to this road at a stop-controlled T-Intersection. Eliminate the skewed angle between CSAH 83 and Valley Industrial Blvd. South by curving road to meet CSAH 83 at a 90 degree angle. Re-route Barenscheer Blvd. along the north edge of Canterbury property connecting to CSAH 83 to form the fourth leg of the new Valley Industrial Blvd. South intersection. This becomes a new primary intersection along CSAH 83. Establish a Primary intersection between Valley Industrial Blvd. South and 12 th Ave. Add turn lanes and medians along CSAH 83 from 12 th Avenue to CSAH 101. A. Future Concept 1 th The intent of Future Concept 1 is to address issues at the CSAH 83 and 12 Avenue intersection and provide additional capacity for future development anticipated within the corridor. The following outlines the major changes to the roadway: th Re-route 12 Avenue to the north where it intersects CSAH 83 roughly halfway th between existing 12 Avenue and Barenscheer Blvd. H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 24 th Mitigate existing the existing intersection of CSAH 83 and 12 Avenue to restrict access and allow only left turns to only northbound traffic. Minor approaches of existing 12 th Avenue would be right-in/right-out only. Construct new roadway on east side of Super America extending from the north thth side of 12 avenue and curving to meet CSAH 83 at the new 12 Avenue intersection. This intersection is established as a primary intersection as the restricted access existing 12 th Avenue would become a secondary intersection. The proposed concept is anticipated to improve intersection operations and functionality of the segment of CSAH 83 immediately north of TH 169. The increase in primary intersection spacing from 1/8-mile to ¼-mile provides additional space for vehicle queuing and extra time for a motorist to merge over multiple lanes of traffic when thth traveling between TH 169 and 12 Avenue. Re-routing 12 Avenue would require the relocation of seven Canterbury horse stables. The new roadway on the east side of CSAH 83 is design to allow for more storage for westbound traffic approaching CSAH 83. The proposed improvements would impact parking at Polaris, United and the strip mall properties in the area, but would provide an improved access to CSAH 83 that provides additional capacity in comparison to existing geometry. This concept has the potential to create new parcels of varying sizes along CSAH 83. All of these parcels are potential revenue streams for property owners. Figure 10 See for future concept 1 layout. H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx FIGURE 10 X CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 26 B. Future Concept 2 Future concept 2 involves no changes to mitigations at the CSAH 83 and 12 th Avenue intersection. This concept creates two new primary intersections along CSAH 83 allowing for additional access points and greater potential in accommodating future development. Figure 11 See for future concept 2 layout. IX. Canterbury Development Canterbury Park is considering renovating their property along CSAH 83 and 12 th Avenue. This would require relocation of their horse stables in order to create usable parcels more suitable for development. The economic development team for the City of Shakopee was used as the primary resource for information regarding the expected uses of land redevelopment. A. Canterbury Development Traffic Forecasting In addition to traffic forecasts already discussed in this report, trip forecasts for the Canterbury Park renovation were developed using the information within the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual: 8 th Edition. The economic development team for the City of Shakopee provided information on expected land use, type of facility, and size of facility. More detailed information regarding trip generation is Appendix D. included in Vehicles trips were distributed throughout the CSAH 83 roadway network using the middle segment of trip distribution table found in Section V. B. Canterbury Development Concepts Development in the area, specifically the new Amazon retail facility, adds a significant amount of traffic to CSAH 83. The proposed Canterbury Park renovation results in a significant increase in traffic entering and existing the Canterbury site from CSAH 83. This turning movements to and from CSAH 83 has significant intersection operational and signal timing implications as the anticipated demand exceed capacity with the proposed geometry and signal timings. Each concept was developed without any changes to the geometry of CSAH 83, south of the north TH 169 Ramp. Therefore, expanding the roadway beyond 4 lanes was not analyzed as additional thru lanes would likely require the reconstruction of the existing TH 169 bridge. The following text details three roadway concepts and the anticipated operational benefits and deficiencies for the proposed Canterbury Park renovation. All Canterbury development concepts were analyzed for the Summer and Holiday evaluation periods in the year 2037 during the AM, PM and Shift Change Peak Hours. Intersections south of TH 169 are expected to operate similarly to the future build with mitigations traffic operation analysis described in the Section VII. These intersection will not be included within any further evaluation for this reason.. 1. Canterbury Concept 1 a) Geometry Canterbury Concept 1 is similar to Future Concept 1. 12 th Avenue is H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx FIGURE 11 X CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 28 re-routed north adjusting the primary intersection further away from TH 169. A new road adjacent to this new primary intersection would curve south navigating the east side of the strip mall and Super America then th curve east connecting with existing 12 Avenue. Barenscheer Blvd. at CSAH 83 would be developed into a primary signalized intersection. Appendix D See for details. b) Operations Operations during the Summer and Holiday PM Peak hour, and during the Holiday Shift Change Hour, show LOS D or worse throughout the corridor. Generally, traffic on minor streets controlled by side street stop controls, have difficulty finding sufficient gaps to enter onto CSAH 83. This concept resolves concerns at CSAH 83 and 12 th Avenue involving northbound left-turning and westbound left-turning vehicle conflicts. Overall, Canterbury Concept 1 allows for traffic to more easily travel north and west to enter Canterbury Park but creates operational concerns for side street traffic and southbound traffic on CSAH 83. 2. Canterbury Concept 2 a) Geometry Canterbury Concept 2 is similar to Future Concept 2. Dual westbound and northbound left-turn lanes are implemented at the CSAH 83 and 12 th Avenue intersection. A new primary signalized intersection is located ¼ th mile north of 12 Avenue on CSAH 83. This new intersection would be a major access point future redevelopment on the Canterbury Park site. The existing intersection of Barenscheer Blvd. and CSAH 83 would be severed. Multiple access points along CSAH 83 would be closed and re- routed as to not disrupt traffic on CSAH 83. b) Operations Operations during the Summer PM Peak Hour are anticipated to have a th LOS E at the 12 Avenue intersection, and LOS D at the North TH 169 Ramp and new Canterbury Park renovation entrance. However, during the Holiday period, multiple intersections have increased intersection delay. Vehicles attempting to enter CSAH 83 from a minor street experience excessive delays. The two main access points to the Canterbury Park site, 12 th Avenue and new primary intersections, would require significant geometric improvements to achieve sufficient levels of delay and queuing with the anticipated future traffic volumes. 3. Canterbury Concept 3 a) Geometry Canterbury Concept 3 is similar to Canterbury Concept 2 except it requires an interchange modification at TH 169. This interchange would require a total acquisition of Americas Best Value Inn & Suites. Southbound traffic on TH 169 would be able to freely enter southbound CSAH 83. Access points to the Canterbury renovation are similar to H:\\Shak\\T42109988\\2_Preliminary\\C_Reports\\CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Traffic Memorandum.docx CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study 12/01/2015 Page 29 Canterbury Concept 2. b) Operations North TH 169 Ramp was modeled using a stop control for traffic exiting TH 169 and making right turns onto CSAH 83. This movement experiences long delays and queuing. However, the main access points to the renovation show improvement over Canterbury Concept 2. Vehicles attempting to enter CSAH 83 from a minor street experience excessive delays. X. Recommendations/Conclusions The information provided within this document summarizes the anticipated development within the corridor, traffic operations, and safety characteristics present throughout the CSAH 83 Corridor Readiness Study area. The findings are presented in a way to allow decision-makers to fully understand the existing conditions as well as the benefits and consequences developed with a variety of proposed improvements. The intent is not to make recommendations regarding the corridor, but to provide the information necessary to guide the decision makers to a future design concept that best suits the needs of the corridor.

Although the City has its own communication tools (newsletters, website, email, social media, Government Access television, etc.), at times it is necessary and beneficial to work with the media to inform and educate the public. In the interest of fostering a positive and professional relationship with the media, the City of Shakopee and its representatives will do the following: Adhere to the Minnesota Public Information Act and the Minnesota Data Practices Act Respond to media inquiries with accurate information in a timely manner Proactively contact the media regarding matters that positively or negatively affect City services and facilities and that impact the lives of Shakopee residents Follow a formal procedure for releasing information pertaining to sensitive and/or controversial matters. PURPOSE To outline the City’s expectations regarding the distribution of information to the media. This includes when, who and how to relate with the media to ensure the City of Shakopee delivers timely, accurate and consistent information to the public. A. GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR MEDIA INQUIRIES City of Shakopee employees may be contacted by the media for a variety of reasons. All employees are authorized to provide the media information on routine matters, such as an upcoming event or basic facts about a particular service (e.g., parking restrictions), provided the subject is that employee’s area of expertise. Employees who do not feel comfortable answering the media’s questions may refer the inquiry to their department head or the Communications Coordinator. All media inquiries are to be addressed within a reasonable time frame. If the information sought is not available within a reasonable time frame, the media should be provided with an estimate of when the information will be provided to them. More in-depth inquires and requests for interviews are to be referred to the department head responsible for the subject being focused upon. That manager may designate a spokesperson for the inquiry, if appropriate. Upon receiving a request for information or an interview, the department head is advised to ask the reporter the following prior to the interview: Focus of the story Deadline General information being sought from the City City of Shakopee Media Relations Policy – Draft 2.2.16 Page 1 of 3 Department heads should notify the Communications Coordinator and City Administrator whenever a City employee is approached by the media. The Communications Coordinator can also provide assistance in responding to the media inquiry and preparing for the interview. If the department head desires, the Communications Coordinator will sit in on the interview. The Communications Coordinator is responsible for notifying the City Administrator and the City Council when a news story regarding the City of Shakopee may appear on television or the newspaper. B. GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR CONTACTING THE MEDIA All department heads have a responsibility in recognizing when an issue – positive or negative – may need to be communicated to the public or when an issue might capture the attention of the news media. Department heads are to alert the Communications Coordinator when such situations exist. The Communications Coordinator will then advise how to proceed, consulting with the City Administrator and any other appropriate personnel necessary. C. PRESS RELEASES Press releases shall be issued by the Communications Division with assistance and approval from the department in charge of the issue. The City Administrator and the City Council shall be copied on all press releases relating to issues not considered “routine.” Upon issuing a press release, the affected department shall have a spokesperson available to handle calls from media wanting additional information. The Police Department and Fire Department may issue press releases in public safety situations. All press releases are to include the department’s logo; a contact name, phone number and email address; and the date. The Communications Coordinator shall be copied on all press releases. D. PRESS CONFERENCES Press conferences may be necessary to address matters that have captured significant media attention. The Communications Coordinator will advise when a press conference may be necessary. The Communications Division will work with department heads to determine the location, time and place of the conference and alert all appropriate media. The Coordinator also will recommend and prepare the spokesperson for the press conference. No department shall hold a press conference without the involvement of the Communication Division. E. DATA PRACTICES AND PUBLIC INFORMATION LAWS The release of information to the media and the general public shall be done in adherence to the Minnesota Data Practices and Public Information acts. Employees who are unsure whether the information being sought is covered by these laws are advised to consult their department head and/or the Communications Coordinator. The City Administrator and, if necessary, the City Attorney may be contacted if further clarification is needed. F. PERSONAL POINTS OF VIEW It is recognized that all employees have the right to their personal points of view regarding any issue. However, personal points of view may conflict with the City’s official policy. Therefore, City employees City of Shakopee Media Relations Policy – Draft 2.2.16 Page 2 of 3 who write letters to the editor of any newspaper may not use official City stationary. If an employee or City Council member chooses to identify himself or herself as a City employee in any personal letter or email to the editor, he or she must include language which states the views set forth in the letter do not represent the views of the City but rather are the employee’s personally held opinions. Similar disclaimers must be given if an employee addresses a public meeting, participates in a radio talk show or is interviewed for a radio or television program unless the employee is officially representing the City. Employees who are representing the City in any of the above formats must identify themselves as an official spokesperson for the City. G. ELECTED OFFICIALS Elected officials respond to media inquiries at their own discretion. Council members are asked to notify the City Administrator and Communications Coordinator when they have contact with the media. If requested, the Communications Coordinator can provide assistance in responding to the media inquiry and preparing for the interview. Council members should not comment on any open, active investigation (internal or criminal) but rather refer all inquiries to the Communications Coordinator.
