Introduction Biking and walking are an important part of everyday life for many Hennepin County residents. Whether it is for transportation, recreation or exercise, we work hard to make biking and walking safer, more comfortable, and more convenient for more people. Every year, we invest in our growing network of sidewalks, trails and bikeways to better serve people walking and biking. In 2017, we completed construction of the first off-street cycle track on the county network, closed more bikeway gaps, added miles of on- and off-street bikeways; expanded our count program; and, started new partnerships to expand educational efforts. This annual report highlights progress made in 2017 towards goals identified in several plans and policies. Our work is guided by Hennepin County s Complete Streets Policy (adopted in 2009), Pedestrian Plan (adopted in 2013), and Bicycle Transportation Plan (adopted in 2015). We ve seen great progress this past year, as departments across the county have collaborated to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure for all ages and abilities into projects. 2018 is going to be an exciting year for active transportation, and we re looking forward to continue growing our networks so that more people can comfortably travel in their communities by walking, biking, and rolling. 2017 Pedestrian and bicycle progress report 1

Guiding principles and goals Hennepin County s Pedestrian and Bicycle Transportation plans aim to make walking and biking for transportation, recreation and health a comfortable, fun, route part of daily life for people of all ages and abilities. 2040 Bicycle Transportation Plan The Hennepin County 2040 Bicycle Transportation Plan was adopted in 2015 and lays out a vision that emphasizes ways to make bicycling safe and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities. Quadruple the number of bicycle commuters from 2010 s 12,000 people to 48,000 Halve bicycle crashes per capita from 2010 levels and move toward zero deaths on bicycles Bring the ratio of bike commuters who are women to half Complete an average of 20 miles of the bikeway system each year Build a bikeway within a ½ mile of 90 percent of homes in Hennepin County Ridership goal Promote the bicycle as a mode of transportation that is practical, convenient and pleasant for commuting, health and exercise, and outdoor recreation. Bikeway system goal Collaboratively build an integrated county bicycle system that allows bicyclists of varying skills to safely, efficiently and comfortably connect to and between all destinations within the county. Safety and comfort goal Create a safe and comfortable county bikeway system. Sustainability goal Implement bikeways and support facilities as an essential tool in realizing environmental, social and economic sustainability. Maintenance goal Protect the county s and the park district s investments in the bikeway system and reduce seasonal hazards through partnership. 2017 Pedestrian and bicycle progress report 3

Hennepin County Pedestrian Plan Pedestrian safety goal Increase the safety of walking by decreasing the number and severity of pedestrian/vehicle crashes. Walking for transportation goal Add more miles of sidewalk and trail along county roadways Increase percent of county residents who walk to work and other destinations Conduct annual pedestrian counts Health goal Improve the health of county residents by decreasing the percent of county residents who are overweight or obese. 4 Hennepin County

Collaboration Bicycle Advisory Committee The Hennepin County Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) provides feedback and recommendations on bicycling issues to county staff, project partners and the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners. Each county commissioner appoints one member and one alternate to a three-year term. The committee typically meets once a month at locations throughout the county. 2017 BAC accomplishments In 2017 the BAC helped shape 11 projects, 11 studies and 6 programs through review; most notably, Portland Avenue (County Road 35) in Bloomington, Minnetonka Boulevard (County Road 5) bike lanes, University Avenue SE (County Road 36)/ 4th Street SE (County Road 37) and the Hennepin County bike counting program. Passed two resolutions Supporting a 4 to 3 conversion and bike lanes on Portland Avenue in Bloomington and in support of increasing annual funding for the Sidewalk and Bikeway capital program. Toured four project sites or facilities including Quality Bicycle Products, Nice Ride facilities, Lowry Avenue NE (County Road 153) and Minnetonka county trail projects. The Hennepin County Bicycle Advisory Committee formed in 1989 to advance biking in the county. Its successes over the years include advocating for bicycle racks on Metro Transit vehicles. Today, all Metro Transit buses and trains include at least two bike racks. This year, the BAC welcomed two new members: Judy Jones (District 5) and Ron Uglow (District 7).

Conferences The National Walking Summit St. Paul September 13 15, 2017 The National Walking Summit brings people from across the country together to discuss the benefits of active living and explore new practices in pedestrian planning through presentations, discussions, and mobile tours. The Pedestrian and Bicycle team led a tour in Minneapolis, Small Town in a Big City: Seward Neighborhood Walking Tour where they highlighted key pedestrian features to planners from across the country. The tour explored the Seward neighborhood s commercial corridor, Franklin Avenue (County Road 5), with a focus on recent infrastructure improvements, such as the Franklin Avenue Bridge restoration and the Franklin/Cedar/ Minnehaha avenues redesign. The tour also discussed the importance of collaboration in street design, and the role of community activism in preserving historic assets, motivating change, and shaping the public realm. Center for Transportation Studies (CTS) Research Conference Minneapolis November 2, 2017 This one-day conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from the University of Minnesota and across the Midwest to learn about new ideas, trends, and best practices in the transportation field. The Pedestrian and Bicycle team participated in a panel looking at design and maintenance of bicycle infrastructure in Minnesota, and presented on the county s 2016 bikeway maintenance study. 6 Hennepin County

Partnership with the University of Minnesota Hennepin County partnered with capstone students from the University of Minnesota s Humphrey School of Public Affairs to complete two studies: Hennepin County Enhanced Bicycle Network, and Factors Affecting Vehicle Passing Distance and Encroachments While Overtaking Cyclists. Both studies were advised by Greg Lindsey, a professor in the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Enhanced Bicycle Network Study This study sets a framework for the county to better understand the road segments that could most benefit from an enhanced bicycle facility. The students used a two-step approach to prioritize roadway segments that first took into account a Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) analysis, followed by a scoring system focused on connectivity, equity, and demand criteria. The results of this study are meant to expand upon the corridor prioritization for projects outlined in the Hennepin County bike plan. The students documented their findings in a final report, and a series of maps displaying LTS scores and prioritization results that combine the LTS scores with connectivity, equity, and demand criteria. This study was completed by students in the Humphrey School of Public Affairs: Quinn Carr Tara Osendorf Kevin Karner Vehicle Passing Study This study investigated the average passing distance and the rate of encroachment for motor vehicles overtaking people biking at seven locations with different road classifications and configurations of travel lanes, parking facilities, and bicycle facilities across the county. The students used a C3FT bike mounted radar device and GoPro camera to capture the passing distance and characteristics of vehicles on the roadway. The students found that overall encroachments, defined as when a driver passes someone biking with less than three feet, are low (1.12% of passes); however 64% of encroachments, occurred on four lane roadways with no bicycle facility present. Additionally, passing distance is related to bicycle facility type and protected bike lanes were found to have had the highest average passing distance. This study was completed by students in the Humphrey School of Public Affairs: Isaac Evans Joshua Pansch Lila Singer-Berk 2017 Pedestrian and bicycle progress report 7

Safe Routes to School Hennepin County recognizes the importance of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) planning and programming so that children are equipped to develop safe walking and biking habits from an early age. Hennepin County participates in the Minneapolis Public School District s monthly Safe Routes to School Working Group, along with periodic site visits, and school workshops. Hennepin County staff then evaluate and may implement infrastructure improvements that make the county roadways safer for people of all ages, and bridge missing connections between local schools and the regional trail system. Hennepin County has contributed to the following SRTS workshops and site visits in 2017: Northrop Elementary Minneapolis Burroughs Elementary Minneapolis Whittier International Elementary Minneapolis People friendly drivers Hennepin County employees looking to receive or renew a county driving permit, must take a driving course taught by staff from the county s Workplace Safety group. Many drivers are unfamiliar with new bicycle infrastructure as well as the rights and responsibilities of people walking and biking. One strategy in the 2040 Bicycle Transportation Plan is to work with partners to expand driver s education and coursework for people driving, people biking, and youth. In 2017, the county partnered with the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota to pilot a People Friendly Drivers curriculum, and began presenting this curriculum to county staff during the driving course. The goals of this brief presentation are for drivers to better understand pedestrian and cyclist behavior, rights, responsibilities, and how to safely share the road. The Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota staff will continue to refine the curriculum in 2018. 8 Hennepin County

Committees Safety and Operations Committee The Safety and Operations Committee (SOC) evaluates concerns for safety on the county s road system, including people walking. This multidisciplinary committee includes representatives from Transportation Planning, Transportation Design, Transportation Operations, and Community Works. The group primarily analyzes crossing improvement requests from cities, residents, park districts and county staff. The committee reviews requests, traffic and roadway data, and pedestrian and bicycle crossing information in their evaluation. If crossing improvements are recommended, the group identifies potential opportunities for funding and implementation. 2017 Safety and Operations Committee accomplishments In 2017, the Safety and Operations Committee: Leveraged an in-house overlay project to include pedestrian safety improvements at County Road 19 and William Street in Excelsior. Collected pedestrian and/or bicycle counts at 45 locations related to concerns and requests from Hennepin County residents and municipalities. Met weekly to review intersection and roadway safety concerns, providing committee resolution or next steps to the inquiring party. Plat Review Committee Hennepin County s multidisciplinary Plat Review Committee provides both formal and informal feedback on development proposals along the county roadway system. County staff evaluate proposed development for several items that could affect county roads, including: Safety issues Access management Right-of-way needs Operational elements Pedestrian and bicycle facilities 2017 Plat Review Committee accomplishments In 2017, the Plat Review Committee reviewed more than 150 development proposals, providing feedback and guidance on the following: Considered future county infrastructure needs, including bikeways and pedestrian facilities when negotiating right-of-way decisions throughout the county roadway system. Coordinated internal sidewalk and trail connections to the existing and planned county bikeway network. Recommended ADA curb ramp replacement/ installation and Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) at intersections with high existing or projected pedestrian traffic. 2017 Pedestrian and bicycle progress report 9

Projects and Improvements Washington Avenue The Washington Avenue (County Road 152) corridor project is divided into three segments, each with a different type of bikeway. The formerly six-lane undivided roadway was transformed into a street better suited to its urban context. A long range planning vision guides three separate roadway projects to ultimately create a two-mile long corridor that better serves people walking, biking and taking transit, while still facilitating motor vehicle travel in and out of the city center. In 2017, a full reconstruction of one of these segments created a new off-street cycle track, a type of protected bicycle facility; enhanced the pedestrian realm, and improved safety and service for people walking, biking, rolling and driving. In addition to the reconstructed segment, buffered bike lanes were added on Washington Avenue from 5th Avenue South to the I-35W Bridge. The new cycle track and buffered bike lanes, along with existing facilities, form a continuous bike route from Cedar Avenue (County Road 152) to Plymouth Avenue North, through the heart of Downtown Minneapolis and the North Loop neighborhood. 10 Hennepin County

Cycle track A cycle track is a dedicated space for people biking that is physically separated from vehicle traffic. In coordination with the Washington Avenue reconstruction, Hennepin County built a cycle track along Washington Avenue South between Hennepin Avenue and 5th Avenue South. This project began in 2016 with utility relocation, and was followed by improvements for people biking, walking, and driving. The cycle track opened in October 2017. For people walking: Wider concrete sidewalks Shortened crossing distances ADA compliant curb ramps and signals For people biking: Raised cycle track on each side of Washington Avenue Bike traffic signals with a dedicated through movement for biking when vehicular right turns are restricted Green paint to guide people biking across the intersection and increase visibility Dedicated space for bicycles to lineup without blocking traffic For people driving: New pavement for smoother travel Dedicated turn lanes at key intersections 2017 Pedestrian and bicycle progress report 11

Glenwood Avenue To better serve people biking and driving along Glenwood Avenue (County Road 40), the county repaved and restriped Glenwood Avenue from Highway 55 to Highway 100. This project was completed in September 2017 as part of the county s mill and overlay program. Existing travel lanes were narrowed slightly to encourage lower speeds, and existing shoulders were striped as bike lanes. Additionally, from Aldrich Avenue to Thomas Avenue in Minneapolis, shared lane markings on the south side of the street and bike lanes on the north side of the street were upgraded to buffered bike lanes. Franklin/Cedar/Minnehaha avenues The Intersection of Franklin, Cedar, and Minnehaha avenues (County Road 5 and County Road 152) in Minneapolis was a high crash location. County staff worked closely with the neighborhood to reach consensus for a design that improves safety and function of the intersection. Improvements include geometric modifications to simplify vehicle movements, as well as improvements for people walking and biking, like better aligning bike lanes on Franklin Avenue. Douglas Drive In partnership with the City of Golden Valley, Hennepin County reconstructed Douglas Drive (County Road 102) between Highway 55 and Medicine Lake Road (County Road 70). As part of this reconstruction, the county redesigned intersections and built new roundabouts. For people walking and biking, new sidewalks, trails, and widened curbs for bike lanes were constructed. Additionally, this project included streetscaping elements such as improved streetlights and landscaping. 66th Street 66th Street (County Road 53) from Xerxes Avenue South (County Road 31) to 16th Avenue South in Richfield is currently being reconstructed, with an expected completion date in 2019. Some roadway changes will include traffic calming measures like roundabouts and safer intersection designs. Additionally, one way cycle tracks, multi-use trails, sidewalks, pedestrian ramps and streetscaping will be added or upgraded throughout the corridor. Two segments, from Xerxes Avenue to Girard Avenue and from Columbus Avenue to 16th Avenue, were substantially completed in 2017. Hopkins ARTery Three Rivers Park District and the City of Hopkins built a 12-foot-wide, two-way cycle track along 8th Avenue South connecting downtown Hopkins to the Minnesota Rivers Bluffs LRT Regional Trail and the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail. This cycle track has been completed as part of a larger ARTery/8th Avenue South redevelopment project in downtown Hopkins. Additionally, people biking and walking will find that this project creates safer crossings at Excelsior Boulevard. A portion of the cycle track was funded through the Bicycle and Pedestrian Capital Improvement Program. The completion of this project closes a top 25 gap as outlined in the county bike plan. 12 Hennepin County

Accessibility Hennepin County released its Americans with Disabilities Act Program Access and Transition Plan (ADA Transition Plan) in August 2015. The plan reviewed current county policies and evaluated the extent to which county transportation facilities comply with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). About half of the county s 13,000 pedestrian ramps were found to need some modification to be fully ADA compliant. More information related to the Americans with Disabilities Act and Hennepin County is available at: www.hennepin.us/residents/transportation/ada-transition-plan 2017 Accessibility accomplishments Hennepin County strives to be a place where people of all ages and abilities can walk and roll. In 2017, the county took the following steps towards accomplishing this goal: - Reconstructed more than 485 ADA pedestrian ramps - Added 70 Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) on county roadways - Allocated $1 million in the 2017 Capital Budget for pedestrian ramp upgrades 2017 Pedestrian and bicycle progress report 13

Additional bikeways completed in 2017 The Hennepin County bicycle network is unique, as it recognizes and includes bikeways under the jurisdiction of other agencies, including independent park districts and municipalities. By leveraging road construction, repaving, and restriping projects, and implementing standalone bikeway projects, Hennepin County and its partner agencies added more than 18 miles of bikeways to the county network in 2017. Of the 18 miles completed in 2017, five miles are on-street bikeways including standard bike lanes, buffered bike lanes, bike boulevards, and protected bike lanes. The remaining 13 miles are off-street bikeways, and consist of protected bike lanes and multi-use trails.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Capital Improvement Program Every year, the county solicits sidewalk and bikeway applications for its annual CIP. Funds are awarded to independent park districts and municipalities for the study and construction of sidewalk and bikeway projects along and across Hennepin County roadways and as identified in the county bicycle plan. In 2017, the county awarded more than $1 million and leveraged more than $2 million, for the following projects to be studied or constructed over the next three years. Sidewalks Franklin/Cedar/Minnehaha (County Road 5 and County Road 152) improvements in Minneapolis Pedestrian crossing study in Minneapolis France Avenue (County Road 17) sidewalk in Edina and St. Louis Park Franklin Avenue (County Road 5) sidewalk with Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Main Street (County Road 150)Safe Routes to School sidewalk in Rogers Lowry Avenue North (County Road 153) and 4th Street Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon in Minneapolis Bikeways Brooklyn Boulevard (County Road 152) trail in Brooklyn Park 63rd Avenue North bikeway in Brooklyn Park West Mississippi River Regional Trail in Dayton Minnetonka Boulevard bikeway study in Deephaven Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail in Hopkins Pinto Drive bikeway study in Medina Plymouth Road (County Road 61) trail in Minnetonka Boone Avenue study in New Hope Highway 100/West End connections study in St. Louis Park Dakota Rail Trail/County Road 110 crossing study in Mound Dakota Rail Trail/County Road 110 crossing construction in Mound Dakota Rail Trail/Orono Orchard Road crossing construction in Orono Canadian Pacific rail trail study, segment 1 in Edina Minnetonka Regional Trail search corridor study in Minnetonka Safety fund for pedestrian, bicycle and roadway safety improvements Approved during the 2017 budgeting cycle as a new funding source for 2018, the safety fund Item is designed to address safety issues for people walking, rolling, biking and driving. The program targets smaller spot safety improvements. Both proactive and reactive safety improvements are eligible. 16 Hennepin County

Counting Manual bicycle and pedestrian counting 2017 marked the county s second annual volunteer pedestrian count initiative. This year, volunteers began counting people biking in addition to people walking. These short term counts rely on volunteers collecting data over a two-hour period from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. during the second week of September. Volunteers counted at 23 locations across the county outside of Minneapolis (counts in Minneapolis are led by Minneapolis city staff ). This data was then used to calculate estimated daily traffic at each site, which means the two-hour counts are extrapolated to understand larger trends in walking and biking. The data collection and analysis process is consistent with the City of Minneapolis, and data can be easily compared across jurisdictions. Top five county observed locations with highest estimated daily traffic (EDT) outside of Minneapolis For walking and rolling 50th Street West and France Avenue South 2,061 EDT 41 1/2 Avenue North and West Broadway 1,422 EDT Bass Lake Road and Northway Drive 806 EDT 66th Street and Nicollet Avenue South 761 EDT Excelsior Boulevard and West 38th Street 667 EDT For biking Golden Valley Road and Winnetka Avenue North 740 EDT Glenwood Avenue and Xenia Avenue South 315 EDT Excelsior Boulevard and Blake Road 165 EDT Excelsior Boulevard and West 38th Street 165 EDT Bass Lake Road and Northway Drive 140 EDT Additional details, including the 2016 and 2017 pedestrian count reports are available at: hennepin.us/walk 2017 Pedestrian and bicycle progress report 17

Automated bicycle counting Each year, Hennepin County conducts automated bicycle counts rotating between the northern or southern halves of the county. In 2017, 48-hour bicycle count data was collected at 34 locations across the southern half of the county. These 48 hour counts are then extrapolated and used to calculate Average Annual Daily Bicyclists (AADB) volumes at each count location.
