Dear Brad:
I am enclosing a copy of a letter we received from Bernie Carlson, owner of Carlson Hardware in
the vicinity of the subject intersection. The letter expresses Bernie's concerns about the
intersection and the traffic speeds on CSAH 21.
As you recall, the City has approved a cooperative agreement with Scott County for the
installation of a traffic signal system at this intersection. My discussion with members of your
staff indicate your department is re-evaluating this signal installation. I would request, because
we have already approved the agreement and for the benefit of the City Council, that you please
outline. your schedule for this re-evaluation and your plan to involve the City in this re-
evaluation. I would like to share this information with the City Council as soon as possible.
I appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions of me please call me at 447-

Proposed Traffic Signal System at CSAH 21 & Main Avenue
Dear Greg:
This letter is an overview of our September 11, 1998, phone conversation regarding the status of
the proposed traffic signal system at CSAH 21 & Main Avenue in the City of Prior Lake.
At the time Scott County was ready to proceed with the proposed signal we received the traffic
analysis for CSAH 42 & Timothy Avenue identifying the problems that would occur at that
location if a signal was installed resulting from the minimal distance between traffic signals.
Considering the distance between the TH 13 & Main Avenue is less than between TH 13 &
Timothy Avenue, we decided it would be prudent to re-evaluate the proposed CSAH 21 & Main
Avenue traffic signal.
It was our opinion, to receive a realistic evaluation of the traffic operations at the CSAH 21 &
Main Avenue intersection, we needed to wait until CSAH 21 was opened east of Prior Lake, as
well as waiting for the CSAH 21 and CSAH 42 area construction to be completed.
The timing for the completion of this evaluation is estimated to be in January 1999. This should
allow sufficient time for a spring 1999 project bid letting, assuming the evaluation indicates that
the signal is the proper traffic control solution.
We will keep you informed during the evaluation process. Please call us if you need additional
information.
Sincerely,

Subject: Great Access to 35W.
The access is great to 35W and in the ~uture it probably will get to
be too good. How is that possible?
1. Tra~~ic on 21 ~rom 35W to prior Lake has increased dramatically in the
~ew months it has been opened. From a drivers viewpoint, 1 would ~ay
the general level o~ tra~fic is reaching the levels o~ Hwy 42 although
it does not have the concentration o~street lights yet.
2. Scott County has plans to link 21 to Hwy 494. When this happens the level
o~ traf~ic w,ill increase tremendously. _ As that happens the County will
do their traf~ic counts: a~d based on public sa~ety concerns they will
begin to limit access just as access has been limited on Hyw 13. Consider
Main Street with only a walking bridge connecting the parts on either
side o~ 21.
3. The City wants to develop Downtown with improvements that would be in
part assessed to the downtown property owners. Progress in important
and Prior Lake should have a downtown. However it does not make sense
to invest penny one until the tra~ficflow and access problems have been
solved.
4. The Counf~promised to install a ~treet ligfi~ at Mai~ and 21. -~he~~is
it. Posted speed limits of 40 mph on 21 through downtown are excessive.
The question I ask is Main Aventie just another street or is it Main
Street in Downtown Prior Lake. The streetlight needs to go in now.
Speed l~mits ~or at least one mile in each direc~ion o~ the intersection
o~ 21 and 13 should be no higher than 30 mph.
5. The City must take a stand that we are not simply the intersection of
Hwy 13 & 21 but that we are a City with a Downtown that you have to slow
down eno~gh ~hen going through to protect our safety.
b. The County views traffic flow and control from a different viewpoint than
the City. Traf~ic going from southern Minnesota and points south to
northern Minnesota does not belong in the middle o~Prior Lake. Has
anyone considered the impact on the lake and the quality o~ life there
when a major highway goes through it.
7.
I could go on but this is lon9 enough already. Call or stop in if you
have any questions. Share th1s with anyone you like.

MEMORANDUM

From: Greg IIkka, City Engineer 61~
Subj: CSAH 21 - MAIN STREET TRAFFIC SIGNAL
September 3, 1997
The installation of the subject signal was scheduled for this year in the C.I.P. It was
programmed to be funded from the Street Collector fund. The estimated City share of
the cost is $50,000. As you know, the City has frozen expenditures from this fund.
Two possibilities for funding come to mind, appropriate from the construction fund
balance or include $50K additional in bonding (may not be legal because it was not
included in process).
The County indicates that the project could be let this year with completion in 1998 but,
we can influence the timing, depending on how urgent this signal is. From a funding
perspective, the construction fund balance would be the fastest route, unless you have
money in a contingency account you want to spend.
I'll need some direction on this project.

Re: Proposed Traffic Signal System at CSAH 21 and Main Avenue in Prior lake
Dear John:
We have reviewed the preliminary plans you sent for the proposed traffic signal system at
CSAH 21 (Eagle Creek Avenue) and Main Avenue in the City of Prior Lake. Our response
to the questions / comments you included with the plan copies in your April 24 cover
letter are as follows:
1. Use symbols for pedestrian indications.
2. At this time, install the cables for future EVP installation. This will allow the City
the flexibility to install EVP in the future.
3. Install LED red signal indications at this intersection.
4. We will install saw-cut loop detectors on this project. Non-metallic conduit loop
detectors is something we are researching for future projects.
5. Do not include the painting of crosswalks as part of this project.
6. Scott County will obtain a meter address from the City of Prior Lake.
7. The street name signs are as follows: Main Ave. and Eagle Creek Ave. along with a
County Route Marker 21, similar to what has been provided on previous projects.
8. Scott County will be funding our portion using state aid under SAP 70-621-16. We
will contact the City of Prior Lake to inquire if a MSAP number is needed.

9. Scott county has purchased an Econolite controller with a telemetry panel for
interconnect. The location of the master controller will be discussed with Mn/DOT
at a future meeting.
10. If possible, Scott County prefers to keep streetlight and signal cables in separate
conduit. If there are no other: practicable alternatives for existing street light cable,
the two may share conduit and handholes.
11. The overhead signal placement on poles 2 and 4 is acceptable as shown.
12. The installation of spare cables for future left-turn loop detectors at this time seems
appropriate unless you feel there are reasons for not doing this.
13. Installation of PVC hand holes with metal covers is acceptable.
14. The placement location of pole 3 as shown in the preliminary plan is acceptable.
15. The placement location of poles 4 & 5 as shown in the preliminary plan IS
acceptable.
16. The existing lighting should be left inplace unless it causes conflicts or if the City
desires it's removal. Luminaries should be added to pole 2 and pole 4.
Scott County will be setting up a meeting with Mn/DOT, the City of Prior Lake, and SEH in
the near future to discuss the issues related to this project. Therefore, plan revisions should
not be made until after this meeting takes place.
Please contact Dan Jobe or me at 496-8346 if you have any other concerns.

Dear Dan:
Enclosed are preliminary copies of the intersection layout and interconnect sheets for the proposed
traffic signal system at CSAH 21 (Eagle Creek Avenue) and Main Avenue, in Prior Lake. Please
review these sheets and respond to the following questions/ comments at your earliest convenience.
1. Does the County wish to use symbols or words for the pedestrian indications?
2. Is full EVP desired at this intersection, or are cables for a future EVP installation
sufficient at this time?
3. Are L.E.D. red signal indications desired at this intersection?
4. Mn/DOT is beginning to use non-metallic conduit loop detectors more often in many
of their new designs. Has the County looked into this, or are saw-cut loop detectors
the preferred choice?
5. Do you want painting of crosswalks to be included in this installation by the
Contractor?
6. A meter address needs to be obtained from the City of Prior Lake for the service
installation. Can you check into this?
7. What is the desired wording of the street name signs, and is a County route marker
sign desired for overhead delineation?
8. Will this project be funded 100% under S.A.P. 70-621-16, or will other City or County
funds be used? Are there any other project numbers to include on the plan sheets?

9. Will the County also be purchasing a master controller to be used for the interconnect?
At which intersection will the master be installed?
10. Inplace handholes and conduit currently exist at the intersection. In some of the
handholes, street lighting cables are inplace. Is it okay to use these items in the signal
design?
11. Overhead signals on Poles 2 and 4 were placed over the center of the inside through
lanes to allow for more flexibility in the future (to allow for minimal signal down time
to change to protected/permissive or split phasing if traffic volumes/movements
warrant the change).
12. The layout also includes spare cables for potential future loop detectors for CSAH 21
left turn movements. Are these cables desired to be installed at this time?
13. Are PVC handholes with metal covers desired for all new handhole installations?
14. Pole 3 was placed in the sidewalk area to avoid conflict with the inplace street light
pole nearby, and to provide better visibility to southbound traffic (concerns that trees
on the northwest corner may block the view of pole mounted signal). However,a
second option for placement of this pole is to locate it on the grassy area adjacent and
to the west of the sidewalk, remove the inplace street light pole and extend the mast
arm length from 20 feet to 30 feet. What are your thoughts on this placement?
15. Pole 4 was placed adjacent to the curb to provide some separation from the nearby
library building and to allow for full sidewalk width between the building and the
pole (sidewalk would need to be extended as shown). Placement of this pole would
need to be far enough west so that pole mounted signal heads would not extend out
over the roadway and become a target for tight turning vehicles. The Pole 5
installation would also be recommended, to allow for better visibility of signal face 8-3
and pedestrian indication P4-1, and for optimal location of the push buttons. What
are your thoughts on these items?
16. Is the inplace street lighting system (pole locations are shown on the plans) desired to
be maintained as is, or should some of the lights be removed and/ or relocated onto
the signal system? It may be desirable to locate street lights on the signals on the
northwest and southeast corners, and remove inplace light poles on all four corners
so that less poles are filling the intersection. If changes to the lighting system are
desired, we will need the inplace street lighting plans and style of luminaire (cobra,
shoebox or ?) to be installed on the signal system.

comments, we can begin to finalize the plans and specifications for your review and approval, and
for submittal to Mn/DOT.
For your information, I have enclosed some literature and NSP information regarding L.E.D.
indications. Included are excerpts from a letter we sent to the City of Minnetonka regarding the

'.
In regards to the use of L.E.D. signal indications, we contacted Mn/DOT and the City of St. Paul
about their knowledge and policies related to these indications. Lynnette Roshell (Mn/OOT Metro
Division Signal Design Engineer) mentioned that the red (circular and arrow) indications are the
only indications that Mn/DOT has approved for use at this time; Mn/DOT has compiled a detailed
specification for these indications (a copy of which is enclosed with this letter) that is often included
in their traffic signal specifications. Lynnette also mentioned that Mn/OOT is not likely to retrofit
their yellow indications when the technology becomes available, since these indications are only
on for two to four seconds at a time. The green indications they are currently testing will not likely
be approved for use for at least another year, because the color is not acceptable yet (looks more
blue than green). No mention was made of use of L.E.D. for pedestrian indications.
Bob Tingerthal of the City of St. Paul mentioned that the City is currently using red (circular and
arrow) and don't walk L.E.D. indications at a few intersections. They appear to be satisfied with
the red indications, but feel that the don't walk indications are more red in color now instead of the
standard Portland Orange color that is desired. Bob also mentioned that green L.E.D. indications
have been approved by ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) for use, but that the City does
not use them yet because of their~cost (three to four times more expensive to purchase than red).
Yellow L.E.D. indications are not being used by the City because their intensity is not as strong as
ITE is recommending for all yellow indications. No mention was made regarding use or availability
of walk L.E.D. indications.
As you may be aware already, NSP is currently offering a special incentive and financing program
for retrofitting L.E.D. red indications into existing signal systems. The benefits of using L.E.D. red
indications in place of incandescent red indications are shown on the enclosed NSP memorandum.
In addition, NSP is offering incentives to local agencies to install the L.E.D. red indications in place
of the incandescent indications, including rebates on kilowatts saved and zero percent financing on
equipment purchases.
