Blue Line Pedestrian Grade Crossings Nick Ollrich and Jonette Kuhnau presented on pedestrian grade crossings around the proposed Blue Line site. Pedestrian Crash Experience- -Pedestrian vs LRT crashes are a concern nationally, usually very severe and largely fatal -Poor sight distances, jaywalking, station access, and distraction are major issues with pedestrian/lrt interaction -Human factors play large role in safety engineering for LRT

Past President Alliant Engineering, Inc. 233 Park Avenue S, Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN kschmidt@alliant-inc.com -Disobedience -Failure to Perceive -Misinterpretation -Violation of Expectations -Inattention Existing Metro Transit Pedestrian Facilities- -Traffic signal controlled crossing -Pedestrian signs -APS -Countdown heads -Split platforms in areas of light right-of-way -Rail controlled crossing -Wig-wag indication -2 blank out signs advising to look both directions Pedestrian Grade Crossing Analysis- -Created a pedestrian nested decision tree to dictate pedestrian facilities -Pedestrian Facility Examples -West Broadway Crossing -Roundabout, low access, actuated vehicle gate arm in roundabout, and gate arm for pedestrians -Oriented pedestrians at right angle to train -Gate arm may have low compliance with pedestrians -Corvallis Crossing -Crossing at tracks -Staggered crosswalks oriented at right angles to tracks for optimal pedestrian vision -Bass Lake Road Station -Similar to Hiawatha line crossings, with increased facilities -Pedestrian yielding pork chop -Fenced pedestrian diverter for added sight benefit -Created scenarios for each location to describe pedestrian experience exactly as it would be seen Discussion points- -No data was found relating to vehicle/pedestrian crashes around LRT facilities. Could yield a valuable insight -The pedestrian wait times will be similar to the wait times on the Central Corridor. Flashing beacons were investigated, but were deemed a safety issue.

12 LRT/Pedestrian Crash Experience Common Pedestrian Safety Issues: Trespassing on the LRT tracks Jaywalking Station and/or cross-street access Limited sight distance at pedestrian crossings Pedestrians darting across LRT tracks without looking Severity is a concern: Although crashes between pedestrians and LRVs represent a low percentage of total crashes, they represent a relatively high percentage of all fatalities. 8
