Overview
For the last several years the City of Hopkins has had the desire to create a more visible presence
for powntown Hopkins to the travelling public. The expansion of the Southwest Light Rail
Transit (LRT) line and planned station at 8`�' Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard creates potential
for growth, redevelopment, and a great opportunity to create a connection to showcase
Downtown. The vision for 8`" Avenue is to create a vibrant multimodal corridor opening up
Mainstreet to the large volume of people passing through Hopkins.
City staff has worked to develop the concept to realize this vision. Input from the public and City
Council have played a major role in the design recommendations. Preliminary design has been
completed and the results are now submitted to Council for review and further action. A brief
summary of the recommendations and issues is provided in this report, and a copy of the
Streetscape Master Plan is attached. The project consultant, Bolton & Menk, will be
accompanying staff to present the plan in detail to the City Council.

Analysis of Issues
Scope of Improvements
8t�' Avenue is proposed to be reconstructed between Excelsiar Boulevard and Mainstreet.
The roadway will be rebuilt to allow for expansion of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and
amenities throughout the corridor. A cycle track is proposed along the west side of the
roadway and widened pedestrian ways are proposed for both sides of the road. The cycle
track will provide a connection from the Mississippi River Bluffs Regional Trail south of
Excelsior Boulevard at the LRT station to the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail north of
Mainstreet. 8t" Avenue will remain as a two-way street between Excelsior Boulevard and
1 S` Street South, but will be narrowed to allow for only northbound traffic froin 1 S' Street
South to Mainstreet.
Access from 2°d Street South to 8t�' Avenue is proposed to be closed. The city and
consultant have coordinated with Hennepin County to establish a new access for
properties east of 8`h Avenue. A new right-in/right-out access to Excelsior Boulevard is
proposed between 7"' Avenue and 6`" Avenue to serve the area. The 2°d Street South
right-of-way between 8`" and 9t" Avenues will be abandoned and used in the
redevelopment of the Johnson building.
The water main and sanitary sewer systems along 8t" Avenue will be improved to allow
for redevelopment in the area. The systems will be analyzed and upsized to allow for
additional demand.
Establishing a maintainable corridor with an attractive, timeless look to showcase the
history of Hopkins was a top priority. The theme for the corridor will be based on post-
industrial elements, which have been coordinated in conjunction with the aesthetics of the
new public plaza adjacent to the LRT station.
The corridor will also have the ability for greater public use than traditional streets. A
plaza space will be defined near Municipal Lot 200, by use of alternative paving
materials and strategic placements of streetscape amenities. Allowance for installation of
public art has also been considered in the proposed layout.
The street drainage system will be a blend of traditional storm sewer and innovative
improvements. Pervious pavers and rainwater gardens will be used to create an attractive,
yet maintainable environment.
Streetscape and lighting improvements will be provided to create a safe sense of place.
LED lighting, trees, landscaping, wayfinding signage, and furniture will contribute to
establish the look and feel.

Public Input
An open house was held on Septe�nber 3, 2014 for residents in the area bounded by
Excelsior Boulevard, 5`" Avenue, Mainstreet, and 8th Avenue to present and discuss the
proposed closure of access at 2°d Street South and 8�" Avenue. Staff also met separately
with business owners along 2°d Street South to discuss the plan. The overwhelming
response to the closure was favorable. Most indicated they deemed the access unsafe and
that it wouldn't adversely affect transportation in the area.
During the fall of 2014, staff inet individually with property owners along 8t" Avenue to
discuss the concepts for the roadway. At all meetings owners indicated they viewed the
project favorably, but had concerns regarding loss of on-street parking.
A public open house was held December 16, 2014 at LTD Brewing in Downtown
Hopkins to present the Artery concept. There was a good turn-out for the event and
feedback received was positive. At the event, attendees were asked about several
preferences for aesthetics and could actually cast votes for themes and other design
elements.
In advance of this year's Raspberry Festival the city held an open streets event along gtn
Avenue, in which a test run of the Artery concept was conducted. 8`h Avenue was closed
between 1 S` Street South and Mainstreet, a cycle track was laid out along the west side of
the road, temporary landscaping was brought in, and artists and performers were invited
to set up at various locations. Approximately 2,000 people came out, and overall
feedback was very positive.
Project Budget and Costs
The total project cost for the project including 20% contingency and 25% for engineering
and administrative is currently estimated at $4,826,800. The city has received several
grants and commitments from other agencies to contribute to funding of the project. No
assessments are proposed for the project.
The CIP budget for this project currently is as follows:
CIP Budget
Grants/Other Governmental Units $2,445,000
PI-PIR/General Obligation Bonds 1,518,600
Storm Sewer Fund 305,000
Sanitary Sewer Fund 100,000
Water Fund 165,000
Total $4,533,600

The preliminary estimate exceeds the amount budgeted by approximately 6%.
Contributing to the overage are the large contingencies currently in place in the estimate.
These have been inflated since detailed analysis of the project has not yet been
completed. Staff anticipates that as final design progesses the estimate will reduce.
Construction is not scheduled to begin until 2017 which allows ample time far refinement
of the scope to reduce costs and/or acquire additional funding if necessary. Staff will be
providing updates back to council as design progesses.
Project Schedule
Construction is not scheduled to begin until 2017, but it is recommended to advance to
final design now to allow for coordination with the Southwest LRT project and adjacent
redevelopment of the Johnson Building site.

Executive Summary �
Downtown Hopkins is a vibrant and evolving city-center rich in historic character. For a long time, the
city has had a desire to make this "hidden gem" more visible from Excelsior Boulevard and other major
roadways.With the expansion of the Southwest Light Rail Transit(LRT) line,there exists enormous potential
for growth, redevelopment, and the ability to make a stronger connection to downtown for residents and
visitors. The future Downtown Hopkins station will be located at 8th Avenue and Excelsior Boulevard,
just two blocks from Hopkins Mainstreet.The vision for 8th Avenue is to create a vibrant, interactive and
pedestrian-seductive, multimodal connection into downtown Hopkins that announces to all those passing
by on Excelsior Boulevard and the future LRT that this is a special place,inviting them to come and explore.
This unique connection has been named the Artery.
The Artery
The City's mission is to Inspire, Educate, Involve, and Communicate.The 8th Avenue Artery will become a
corridor that is imbued with this mission by creating places that people can experience each of these ideals.
It is a place that will be sensitive to the history of Hopkins and also provides a progressive multimodal
connection opportunity to the Downtown Hopkins LRT station. The design for the Artery enhances the
experience for pedestrians and cyclists by creating bike and pedestrian focused infrastructure while allowing
for efficient vehicular circulation. The Artery will be a vibrant public space that can accommodate events
and activities at multiple scales that encourage social interaction, gatherings, experience and creation of
art, while enjoying this active public realm. Proposed improvements for the Artery include:
• Two-way cycle track connecting the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail with the Cedar Lake Regional Trail/
Minnesota River Bluffs Tail
• One-way vehicular traffic from 1st Street to Mainstreet
• Art installations from local & regional artists
• Places that invite pop-up art performances
• An iconic gateway feature
• Interactive "art rooms"
• Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), including bio-filtration opportunities
• Connection to the Hopkins Downtown LRT Station
• Decorative street closure gates for community events
• The Artery Plaza, a community gathering space
• Energy efficient and interactive lighting for both pedestrian and vehicular use
• Informational kiosks
� Streetscape Improvements
A key component to the Artery is creating a safe and accessible pedestrian environment that is inviting
for residents and visitors. Elements of the streetscape will create a consistent theme and evoke a specific
character throughout the Artery. Specific improvements with a consistent thematic presence for sense
of place include:
• Decorative concrete paving and unit pavers within the sidewalks
• ADA compliant pedestrian ramps
• Decorative crosswalks at intersections
• New street paving with minimal use of curb and gutter
• Differentiation of paving between sidewalk and cycle track
• Decorative lighting armatures unique to the Artery and history of Hopkins
• A family of site furnishings including: planter pots, bike racks, benches, litter/recycling receptacles,
and bollards
• Efficient overhead lighting, as well as interactive art/sculpture lighting
• Seasonal planting design consisting of low maintenance, regional specific plant species
• Food truck or food cart opportunity areas

Figure 1.1 - The Artery Overall Plan
Construction of the Artery is expected to start in the spring of 2017, contingent upon release of available �
funding & coordination with adjacent private redevelopment. This will likely be constructed in segments
eliminating the need to fully close the corridor in an effort to respect the needs of local residents, businesses
and other redevelopment projects slated for the Artery corridor.
Figures 1.1& 1.2 provide an overview of proposed concepts for specific program elements that are included
in the Artery Master Plan. Each piece of the design is part of the overall vision and will play a substantial
role in the place-making of the Artery.

Figure 1.2-The Artery Overall Plan
Background & Project Goals �
Project Location
The proposed Artery corridor is located along 8th Avenue South from the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional
Trail system, located one-half block north of Mainstreet, to Excelsior Boulevard.
Downtown Hopkins Station
The Downtown Hopkins Station is part of the proposed Southwest LRT,an extension of the Green Line LRT
transit system. It is located at the intersection of Excelsior Boulevard and 8th Avenue South, adjacent to
the Cedar Lake LRT/Minnesota River Bluffs Trail. This station will serve as the transportation hub for the
area, with the Green Line Extension, commuter parking, and Metro Transit bus facilities. The Downtown
Hopkins Station also provides opportunity for pedestrians and cyclists to connect to multiple trail systems,
adjacent residential neighborhoods, and the commercial district of downtown Hopkins.
Project Goals
The City's mission is to Inspire, Educate, Involve, and Communicate. The 8th Avenue Artery will become
a corridor that is imbued with this mission by creating places that people can experience each of these
ideals. It is a place that will be sensitive to the history of Hopkins and also provide a progressive multimodal
connection opportunity to the Downtown Hopkins LRT station. The vision for 8th Avenue is to create a
vibrant, interactive and pedestrian-seductive, multimodal artery into downtown. It will include signature
gateway features and art pieces along the corridor to capture the interests of users and serve as a catalyst
for special events and activities, large and small. People will be invited to make the space their own with
places for pop-up art, interactive features, and gathering places. The design for the Artery enhances the
experience for pedestrians and cyclists by creating a bike and pedestrian environment,while also allowing
for efficient vehicular circulation. The development of the Artery will also be integrated and designed in
collaboration with future private transit oriented redevelopment along the corridor.
Project History
The concept for the Artery emerged early in LRT station area planning. In 2012,the City of Hopkins received
a Local Implementation Capacity grant from the Metropolitan Council to begin planning for a pedestrian
corridor that would connect the future Downtown Hopkins LRT station with Hopkins' Mainstreet. The
project included an Art Summit that was held in February of 2013 with the community to create a vision
and process for the integration of public art into the experience of the corridor project.The City hired IBI
group to assist with the work, and they produced a report that began to outline the elements that would
ultimately be included in the Artery plans, as well as an outline for the implementation and financing for
the project.
In the summer of 2013,the City heid a Visioning Hopkins Mainstreet event that included several PechaKucha
style presentations from a variety of stakeholders.One of them included a vision for the Artery that began
to help shape the collective concept for this street project in the minds of the community.
�
In the spring of 2014,the City engaged Bolton & Menk to begin preliminary design and engineering on the
corridor and to assist with the preparation of documents that would be included in an application for an
LCA-TOD grant from the Metropolitan Council to fund the construction of the Artery. The City received
$1.325 million of LCA-TOD funds through this process.A community open house was held at LTD Brewing on
8tn Avenue and Mainstreet to depute the preliminary design work and elicit feedback from the community.

Turn-out at this event was very high and the general feedback was extremely positive. At this open house
people were asked to vote on a preferred visual aesthetic for the corridor among a series of options, and
a "post-industrial" look was strongly favored among participants.
Following the open house the City continued to work with Three Rivers Park District on the design of the
cycle-track and the park district agreed to fund 50 percent of the cost of the cycle-track, up to $375,000.
The City also continued to work with the new owner of the Johnson Building site,a key redevelopment site
needed to accommodate the additional right of way that the design of the Artery would require. Based
on the timing of the redevelopment of this site,the Artery project is being planned for 2017 construction.

In the summer of 2015,the City held the Artery Experiment, a three day"test run"of the Artery. With the
help of grants from Blue Cross Blue Shield and Hennepin County, the city was able to temporarily lay out
the Artery along 8`h Avenue. A festival was held on a Saturday, which tested out closure of the road and
invited the community into the space to try it out and give feedback.Approximately 2,000 people came out
to test ride the cycle-track, buy art, listen to music, eat food, hang out, and experience what the corridor
might be like once completed. 161 people filled out surveys indicating which elements of the Artery they
thought were most important (See Appendix E). Overall feedback was extremely positive.
The City will also inform the final design with a series of focus groups intended to identify how best to
create a space that will be able to be embraced and used by the community and artists to inject life into
the space.

Artery Circulation Alternatives & Recommendations
� The construction of the Southwest LRT line will have a significant impact on the circulation of residents
and visitors in and out of Hopkins. Hopkins will likely see an influx of visitors, and the ability to adapt and
cater to this increase in circulation is a critical step in the growth of Hopkins. The timing of the Artery
construction and the proposed circulation improvements will help improve the efficient flow of traffic to
and from the Downtown Hopkins LRT station and Mainstreet. The following is a description of the analysis
of the preliminary street design:
Multiple circulation alternatives were considered to the Artery corridor based on existing
and proposed traffic volumes and flows. This included one-way and two-way alternatives
on 8th Avenue South,the potential for roundabouts within the system, and the adjustment
of intersections at 8th Avenue South and Excelsior Boulevard, and 9th Avenue South and
Excelsior Boulevard. The preferred concept was ultimately arrived upon based on the impact
level of existing properties,the abilityto convey proposed pedestrian and vehicularvolumes,
and the flexibility to use the Artery for special events. This includes two-way traffic on 8th
Avenue South from Excelsior Boulevard to 1st Street South and one-way traffic northbound
from 1st Street South to Mainstreet. This allows full access to the signalized intersection at
Excelsior Boulevard but also allows more flexible space in the existing corridor north of 1st
Street South. (See Appendix C) Second Street at the intersection of 8th Avenue South is
also planned to close and a right in, right out with turn lane will be developed off of Excelsior
Boulevard to 2nd Street midblock between 6th and 7th Avenue South, providing a direct
connection to businesses that front Excelsior and also eliminating a dangerous intersection.
(See Appendix B)
In addition to the roadway,a two-lane cycle track is planned for the west side of the corridor
that ties into the Downtown Hopkins station and connects the Cedar lake Regional Trail with
the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail to the north. This allows a safe, separated cycle
corridor that connects through the heart of Hopkins. Pedestrian sidewalks are planned for
both sides of the corridor, with wider sidewalks on the west side of the corridor to allow
a safe and efficient corridor for walking traffic. The City intends to require additional right
of way in the event of future development on the east side to allow for wider sidewalks at

Preliminary Design Concepts �
Downtown Hopkins Station Plaza
The Downtown Hopkins station is unique along the Southwest LRT corridor in that it will have a large station
plaza that ties together multiple Metro transit bus stops, a 190-stall park and ride, and the Downtown
Hopkins LRT station. The plaza is highly visible from Excelsior Boulevard and will be the terminus for
the Artery corridor. The concept for the plaza at the Downtown Hopkins station incorporates a similar
design aesthetic as the Artery and includes similar principals: promoting pedestrian circulation, public
art, interaction, ciecorative paving, and using plant material for its form and functiori. The goal for the
Downtown Hopkins station plaza is to provide a unique pass-through experience for users of the regional
trail system and the LRT line, including people transferring from Metro transit buses and residents from
nearby neighborhoods. For LRT passengers, the station plaza is the first impression of Hopkins and this
arrival experience should be intriguing and reflect the character of the corridor. The station plaza is to
be considered as an extension of the Artery with similar materials, form, and details. Final design and
construction of the Downtown Hopkins station plaza will be done by the Southwest LRT Project Office.

Johnson Building Property
The redevelopment of the Johnson Building Property will have a significant impact on the Artery as a major
anchor at the Excelsior Boulevard intersection. The setback and fa�ade of the building should allow for
an expanded pedestrian space and interaction with the streetscape. The concept for this parcel includes
a street level plaza at the southeast corner of the building to include an iconic sculpture enhancing the
arrival experience to the Artery.
Preliminary concepts for the multi-family housing development include an imbedded parking structure
with vehicular access from 1st Street that will serve both the public park and ride and residential units.
Among the opportunities to enhance the streetscape along the Artery, the city's design team envisions a
public/private"biker's lounge"that will include outdoor gather space, bike fix-it stations,water bottle filling
stations, trail maps, seating and charging areas, and potential vending opportunities for various bike gear.

Figure 10-lohnson Building Concept- North Perspective
Artery Plaza
The Artery Plaza is located within the portion of the Artery that is restricted to one-way vehicular traffic
and designed as a congregation space within the corridor. The vision for this space is to provide a reprieve
from the sun and heat,allow people to take in the sights and sounds of passersby and create an opportunity
for pop-up performances. During street closure events,the plaza expands into the street to accommodate
large gatherings and performances.
This space has a unique character with contrasting paving to the surrounding sidewalk and cycle track.
Seating opportunities will incorporate stone benches and moveable table and chairs. An overhead shade
structure will provide filtered shade to the space. The support of this structure shall not impede circulation
but rather fit into the context of the space. With close proximity to adjacent public parking, separation of
the plaza will be achieved through a combination of plant material and decorative fencing.
To accommodate proper drainage while also presenting a seemingly "flat" surface for gathering without
hindrance by curbs, the Artery Plaza is proposed to be located at a high point. Drainage is proposed to
shed away from the center of the corridor in each direction.

Figure 11 -Artery Plaza Concept Plan
� Sustainability
One of the critical success factors behind the design for the Artery is to incorporate sustainable solutions
into the paving, stormwater management, lighting and planting design. Diverse use of BMPs strategically
designed into the corridor will provide interaction and interpretation as well as a functioning stormwater
management system. With the creative use of stormwater management, the Artery will be used as a
catalyst for incorporating sustainable design into the progressive development that will continue within
the city of Hopkins.
Beyond ecological sustainability, the Artery corridor also functions to be economically and socially
sustainable. This is achieved by using tried and true, available materials that the City can maintain long-
term. By creating usable pedestrian space and connection to local circulation routes,the Artery is promoting
local businesses. People affiliate with areas where they can socialize, eat, and recreate, and the Artery
provides all of these opportunities. The increased activity, timeless furnishings/finishes, and usability will
attract more users, thus promoting economic and development growth.

Figure 12 - Interactive Stormwater Management BMPs
Art Rooms �
Public art is building a presence in the community of Hopkins and part of the vision for the Artery is to
create more opportunities for pubtic art. Art within the corridor will be an integral component and not
used as a filler in leftover space. The master plan identifies strategic locations for iconic pieces and outdoor
"rooms" that will suggest the history of Hopkins as well as contribute to the place-making of the Artery.
Interaction and education through art is encouraged through art rooms which are designed as part of
the Artery. These are locations that incorporate art and sculpture in a way that allows users to touch,
feel, listen and experience art in a way typically not provided by public art sculptures. A specific example
of this is an opportunity to develop an interactive pump and cistern system that is part of the overall
stormwater management integration. The artful use of stormwater also brings an educational value to
the user interacting with the artwork as they feed the network of troughs and bowls.

Lighting and Technology
' Lighting throughout the Artery is to be designed with multiple purposes including, 1j provide a safe, well
lit environment for pedestrians and vehicular travel, 2) enhance the user experience through interaction,
and 3) placemaking & gateway elements. The various lighting amenities include:
• Pedestrian level LED lighting with color changing capabilities
• Art/sculpture in-ground lighting allowing flexibility for changing displays
• Street lighting, LED fixtures, cable hung lighting over roadway and/or mounted on armatures
• ,Interactive light projections
• Holiday/festival lighting, programmable for specific events and integral to overall street/pedestrian
lighting
• Kiosk and informational signage lighting

All of the selected lighting shall be consistent with the overall theme of the Artery, be energy efficient
and also easily controlled. Digital kiosks will be incorporated into the streetscape at key locations to help
orient visitors through the Artery and into Downtown,as well as post information for local events. Related
features will also include a family of wayfinding and informational signage.
Character Preference Survey �
The location of the Artery is unique as it is the link between the LRT Line, which is a very progressive
project with modern technology;and downtown Hopkins,which has a rich historical character. The vision
for the Artery is that the design incorporates contemporary nuances but marries them with some of the
historical/industrial character that is the backbone of Hopkins, specifically the Minneapolis Threshing
Machine (MTM) Company (later merged to form Minneapolis Moline.)
At a community open house, attendees were asked to share their opinion about what character they
preferred for the Artery. The four choices were: Historic, Contemporary, Post Industrial, and Whimsical.
The character imagery used specific to each of the four styles can be viewed in Appendix D.The preferred
character style is shown here, Post Industrial, receiving the most"likes"while whimsical received the least.
As such, it is recommended that final design proceed with further development of the Artery corridor
plans utilizing a post-industrial theme.

� Phasing
Phasing for the Artery project is influenced by several factors, most notably, the redevelopment of the
Johnson Building property, maintaining the flow of traffic, and minimizing the disturbance to businesses
which will stay open through construction. The coordination of other development projects will reduce
the need for re-work and could reduce the length of disturbance to the corridor.

As identified in the Phasing Plan, it is anticipated that the redevelopment of the Johnson Building block �
will happen in phase one, along with sidewalk and pedestrian zone improvements in that area. Phase two
includes the area from Excelsior Boulevard to 1st Street. This will allow traffic to flow around the Artery
when Phase Three is under construction. Phase three will be the remaining portion of the Artery between
1st Street S. and Mainstreet. In order to provide a successful project with minimal disturbance, final
completion date will vary based on coordination efforts and construction timeline of other development
projects within the corridor.Construction completion is targeted to be completed on or before the opening
of the Hopkins Downtown station.

� Maintenance of the Artery Components
.
Landscaping Maintenance Overview
The improvements to the 8th Avenue corridor should be contemplated simultaneous with an ongoing
maintenance considerations. The Artery will require ongoing, routine maintenance to be a viable public
feature in the long term. The recommendations for this section of the report deals with elements which
require monitoring and/or maintenance corresponding to that of the materials installed along the Artery
corridor. Plant materials are only one component included within the Artery that will require periodic
maintenance to maximize the Artery's longevity and timeless design.
Street Trees
Though these make up a small fraction of the total vegetation within the project area, street trees require
annual monitoring to ensure that they remain healthy. Major pruning projects should be generally be
undertaken during the winter months when trees are dormant. Trees should be monitored so that any
problems can be accessed and treated promptly.The fall months provide opportunity to plant trees, after
the heat of summer has passed.Collection of leaves in late fall for mulching or composting is another activity
to address prior to the onset of winter. As part of the final design of the project, it is recommended street
trees be designed with appropriate underlying conditions for retention of moisture, perhaps through a
combination of drain tile and structure soils.
Perennials and Ornamental Grasses
The window for maintenance on most perennials and ornamental grasses is much reduced from that of
trees and shrubs. With the onset of winter,these plants mainly die back until the warmth and moisture of
spring. Therefore, maintenance really begins in early spring with cutting back of ornamental grasses to 6
inches above ground before new growth occurs.Ornamental grasses could be trimmed back in November,
but plants are typically maintained to provide color and interest during the winter months. Waiting until
the spring also allows for this material to be removed during cleanup of the beds which occurs in early
spring.These plantings are not proposed to be irrigated,therefore it is recommended that hardy plantings
be selected during final design to be tolerant of dry conditions. Additionally, many of the plantings are
proposed to be located in areas receiving salt laden runoff during winter and early spring conditions. It is
recommended plantings in these spaces be selected which are generally more salt tolerant to some degree.
Bioretention Celis
Bioretention cells are designed to infiltrate water through the planting medium. In order to provide adequate
infiltration the planting median is designed with a modified soil mix and plant material that will require
additional water the first year to aid in establishment. The plant material used for bioretention cells are
tolerant to this modified soil and extremes of wet and dry conditions once established requiring similar
maintenance requirements as typical planting beds.The removal of trash and sediment buildup from within
the bioretention cells will need to be done periodically as these are collection areas for the streets and
sidewalks. The addition of pre-treatment devices, such as a "Rain Guardian" which has successfully been
used elsewhere in Hopkins, can be used to filter out the unwanted sediment and trash prior to entering
the bioretention cells, thus minimizing the maintenance and extending the lifespan of the bioretention
cell modified soil. It is recommended that pretreatment devices be considered at bioretention basins and
�
implemented where appropriate. It is also recommended underdrain cleanout risers be provided to enable
cleaning of the underdrain system.
Pavers
Maintenance of concrete pavers should be minimized to placing additional sand periodically and
replacing broken pavers. This can be any time when temperatures are sufficient to allow the sand
used in the setting bed to be leveled without freezing. However, it would be best to check pavers It is
recommenedrecommended pavers be inspected once each spring and fall when checking plant material
for pruning and general bed maintenance. Cracked, severely chipped, or sunk pavers should be removed
and replaced. When you inspect pavers, check for cracked or chipped pavers.
Permeable Pavers
Maintaining surface infiltration and resulting underdrain exfiltration is key to long-term pavement
performance. Permeable areas should be observed periodically during rain events for proper drainage.
After several years, it may be necessary to enlist a commercialutilize a vacuum truck to remove existing
aggregate and accumulated sediment and refill the voids with clean aggregate. No special requirements
are needed for snow removal other than de-icing chemicals can be used sparingly because of the insulated
qualities of the system and the warmer temperatures in the substrate. Due to the modular make-up of the
pavers, repairs are easily made by removing the damaged paver and replacing it with a new one.
Lighting
Maintenance of lighting includes not only street lighting but also up-lighting of corridor elements.The use
of LED fixtures will help ensuring ensure that all lights remain in working order and not become a burdening
maintenance burden activity for the City, . as anAn LED luminaire will typically last 20 years without
replacement. Networking platform control systems are available now that make it easy and affordable to
increase the efficiency, safety, and versatility of a municipal lighting system. These wireless systems can
provide user control over each individual light as well as provide usage and failure analysis creating a more
efficient and scheduled maintenance regime.
Snow Removal
It is recommended the efficient collection and removal of snow from the Artery be thoroughly and
routinely considered as part of the final design elements. During the winter months, the Artery can will
require snow clearing and removalbe cleared with large equipment as preferred to be used by the city of
Hopkinsby the City.. DuringCity. During final design of the Artery in consideration of large equipment use,
the Artery amenities should be strategically positioned along the sidewalks and cycle track to minimize
non-accessible areas for larger snow clearing equipment,thereby minimizing the use of smaller equipment
or hand operated tools. TFrom the preliminary design plan, the proposed median between the cycle
track and roadway is considered a maintenance median allowing for snow to be temporarily stored in
small events, or pushed across to the parking stalls on 8th avenue for temporary storage in large following
extreme events. It is recommended that all central biofiltration facilities be designed with median noses or
other creative means to prevent damage to the Artery facilities, maintenance equipment, or discomfort/
injury to equipment operators. Minimal use of blunt edges in the Artery's final design is proposed. It is
' recommended a maintenance review be conducted at various milestones with appropriate City Staff to
further guide the project in addition to the design team's considerations. In designing forlarge equipment
use, the Artery amenities are strategically positioned along the sidewalks and cycle track to minimize
non-accessible areas.
Specialty Items
Within the Artery corridor will be specialty items that will each have their own maintenance requirements
that cannot be detailed at this time. As design moves from concept into reality, it is our intention to
design each specialty item with maintenance and longevity in mind. Assistance will also be provided in
the programming and commissioning of artist and art installations within the corridor. Upon final design
of the Artery corridor,a maintenance guidelines can be provided to assist in managing the overall corridor
and individual items within.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 28,2014
To: City of Hopkins
From: Bryan Nemeth, P.E.,PTOE
Molly Stewart,P.E.
Subject: 2°d St S Analysis of Traffic& Impacts
I. Introduction
The purpose of this study is to analyze the operational impacts of the proposed access changes on 2"d St S
between 6"'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S in the City of Hopkins. There is currently a commercial properties
located on 2°d St S between 7`�'Ave S and 6`�'Ave S that generates heavy vehicle traffic. Local residents
have voiced concern over the amount of heavy vehicles accessing the site via 7th Ave S and 6"'Ave S. A
concept layout that closes access to both 6`�'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S and creates a right in/right out
intersection on Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3) for the commercial properties was proposed to the City of
Hopkins. Figure 1 details the concept layout showing the proposed 2°d St S access changes.
II. Data Collection
24-hour turning movement counts were completed at the intersections of 2"a St S/7"'Ave S and 2"a St
S/6`�'Ave S on February 19,2014. Additionally, a tube count was completed on westbound Excelsior
Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3)between 5`�'Ave S and 8`�'Ave S on March 5, 2014. Turning movement counts
collected from previous work in the area were also used to fill in gaps around the study area. Figure 2
displays the traffic volumes in the study area for the existing conditions and the rerouted voluines for the
proposed 2"d St S access change condition.
III. Traffic Operations Analysis Intersection Delay/Level of Service (LOS)
Intersection Delay/Level of Service(LOS)
The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle as calculated by the 2010 Highway Capacity
Manual(HCM),which defines the level of service,based on control delay. Control delay is the delay
experienced by vehicles slowing down as they approach 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.
Intersections and each intersection approach are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. LOS A
through D is generally perceived to be acceptable to drivers. LOS E indicates that an intersection is
operating at, or very near,its capacity and that drivers experience considerable delays. LOS F indicates
an intersection where demand exceeds capacity and drivers experience substantial delays.

The LOS and its associated intersection delay for signalized and unsignalized intersections is presented in
Table 1. 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.
Signalized Intersection TWSC/AWSC* Intersection
LOS Delay(sec) Delay (sec)
A < 10 < 10
B > lOto<20 > lOto< 15
C >20 to<35 > 15 to<25
D > 35to<55 >25to<35
E >SSto<80 >35to<50
F >80 >50
*TWSC=Two-Way Stop Control,AWSC=All Way Stop Control
Modeling Methodology
Synchro/SimTraffic was used to analyze the following intersections for LOS,delay,and queuing:
• Excelsior Blvd at 8�h Ave S
• Excelsior Blvd at 5`�'Ave S
• Proposed Commercial Entrance on Excelsior Blvd (C.S.A.H. 3)
Three different scenarios were modeled and analyzed to detennine the traffic impacts of the proposed 2nd
St S Access Change including 2014 Existing Conditions and with the proposed 2°d St S Access Change.
Both the AM and PM peak hours were modeled for the scenarios,however traffic volumes were
significantly higher during the PM peak hour so only those results are discussed below.
Existing Conditions
The existing conditions were analyzed to determine the current level of operations of the study area and to
set a baseline for the existing intersections. Table 2 summarizes the results of this analysis for the PM
peak hour.

All intersections have acceptable operations with a LOS of B or better and no unacceptable movements.
2"a St S Access Change
The scenario is based on the concept layout shown in Figure 1.Traffic was redistributed with the access
changes along 2°a St S and the key intersections were analyzed to determine the resulting traffic impacts.
Table 3 summarizes the results of this analysis for the PM peak hour.

All intersections are anticipated to have acceptable operations with a LOS of B or better. There are no
unacceptable traffic movements.
Overall,the proposed condition is anticipated to operate acceptably.
IV. Truck Traffic
The traffic going to and from the commercial properties includes both passenger vehicles and heavy
vehicles. Figure 3 details the specific types of truck traffic and heavy vehicles observed daily within the
study area under existing conditions. Approximately 4.4°/o of the traffic on 6`�'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S are
trucks. A typical residential street has about 2%heavy vehicles,primarily consisting of garbage trucks,
delivery vehicles,and school buses.
The proposed condition would be anticipated to reduce the truck traffic using both 6`�'Ave S and 7`''Ave
S as depicted in Figure 4.With the proposed access changes,the proposed Commercial Entrance on
Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3) should be designed to accoimnodate a WB-62 truck which was the largest

V. School Bus Traffic
Of special significance in this area are the multiple school buses that routinely travel from 6"'Ave S and
7°i Ave S to 2"d St S and vice versa on weekdays as identified in the vehicle classification tables shown on
Figure 3. If access is restricted on 2"d St S as shown in Figure 1,these school buses are going to have to
back up in order to drop children off along 2"d St S,6'''Ave S,and/or 7`�'Ave S. Currently,the school
buses are able to circle around the block,but under the proposed condition,they will be unable to do so.
School buses do not routinely back up due to safety considerations of making such movements around
children. Figure 4 illustrates the redistributed school bus traffic within the study area under the 2"d St S
access change condition.
VI. County Road Access Considerations
The concept layout depicted in Figure 1 shows an additional intersection on Excelsior Blvd(C:S.A.H. 3).
Excelsior Blvd is an A Minor Arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of Hennepin County. The new
Commercial Entrance would be approximately 525 feet from both 5`�'Ave S and 8`�'Ave S which are the
adjacent signalized intersections. Based on the functional classification of the roadway, partial access
(unsignalized) intersection spacing as consistent with Hennepin County access management guidelines is
1/8 mile. These guidelines are also consistent with MnDOT's access management guidelines. A review
of the existing access points in the study area and the proposed access point indicate that the intersection
spacing is sufficiently close to meeting the recommended guidelines. The operational analysis confirms
that the access location spacing can operate acceptably.

VII. St'' Ave S Intersectio�
The concept layout depicted in Figure 1 shows the reinoval of the existing southbound, eastbound,and
westbound channelized right turns at the intersection 5`�'Ave S and Excelsior Bivd (C.S.A.H. 3). All
three inove�nents would be signal controlled instead of yielding free-right turns. An exclusive right turn
lane is shown for the southbound movement as well.This alternative was analyzed and the results are
suimnarized in Table 3. Two other alternatives for the southbound right turn at this intersection were also
analyzed. Figure 5 depicts a southbound channelized right with a yield sign and no added westbound
lane.This alternative is currently what exists at this intersection. Figure 6 depicts an uncontrolled
southbound channelized right turn with an added lane that becomes the right turn lane for the Commercial
Entrance. Table 5 summarizes the results of the three different southbound right alternatives.

All alternatives have acceptable operations for the southbound right movement with a LOS of A and
acceptable operations for the entire intersection with a LOS of B.
The different alternatives do not significantly impact operations for the intersection or for the southbound
right movement. Table 6 includes a summary of the positives and negatives of the alternatives.

VIll. Conclusion
The proposed 2°`� St S access changes do not significantly impact the existing intersections in the study
area and would reduce the truck traffic on 6`�'Ave S and 7`�'Ave S. However,there are some operational
issues with school bus traffic and their access to and from 2°d St S with the access changes. Further
discussion should be completed with the school district to understand the current bus routes and their
access needs along 2"d St S, 6`�'Ave S,and 7`�'Ave S. Removing the channelized right turns at the
intersection of 5"'Ave S and Excelsior Blvd (C.S.A.H. 3) for southbound,westbound and eastbound
would impact right turning trucks. Further investigation into the design would need to be completed to
make sure truck movements are accoimnodated. The vehicle weaving that occurs for westbound traffic
for the alternative shown in Figure 6 is also a concern that should be taken into account if this alternative
is selected.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 28, 2014
To: City of Hopkins
From: Bryan Nemeth, P.E.,PTOE
Molly Stewart, P.E.
Subject: ARTery Analysis of Traffic, Intersection Configurations& Impacts
I. Introduction
The purpose of this study is to detennine whether alternatives exist to effectively control traffic and
increase the availability of physical space along 8`''Ave S referred to as"the ARTery",through the use of
one way pairs on 8'�'Ave S and 9`�'Ave S. This analysis proposes several options for traffic operations for
8`�'Ave S and consequently 9`�'Ave S under some alternatives. The study involves documenting the
conditions as it relates to operational impacts of the different corridor alternatives for key intersections in
the study area. Figure 1 illustrates the study location and the key intersections analyzed.
The outcome of this analysis is to define available options for the development of street and intersection
layouts which will then be developed further during preliminary design of the ARTery corridor and
related improvement projects.
II. Data Collection
Traffic counts were collected on 9`�'Ave S between 1 s' St S and 2°`�St S, 8"'Ave S between 1 S' St and
Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3), and 1 S` St S between 8`''Ave S and 9"'Ave S on March 5, 2014. Turning
movement counts collected from previous work in the area were also used to fill in gaps around the study
area. Figure 1 displays the existing 2014 traffic volumes in the study area.
III. One Way vs Two Way Considerations
When considering whether to go with a one way or two way street design the following should be
considered:
• Two way streets are preferred by local businesses that depend on their visibility from passing
vehicles
• Two way streets are typically less confusing for visitors to the area than one way streets.
• One way streets would provide additional space for amenities both on and off the roadway.
• One way streets typically result in higher traffic flow and have increased capacity over two way
streets
• One way streets typically have fewer conflicting turning movements at their intersections.

IV. Traffic Operations Analysis Intersection Delay/Level of Service (LOS)
Intersection Delay/Level of Service(LOS)
The LOS results are based on average delay per vehicle as calculated by the 2010 Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM),which defines the level of service based on control delay. Control delay is the delay
experienced by vehicles slowing down as they approach 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.
Intersections and each intersection approach are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. LOS A
through D is generally perceived to be acceptable to drivers. LOS E indicates that an intersection is
operating at, or very near,its capacity and that drivers experience considerable delays. LOS F indicates
an intersection where deinand exceeds capacity and drivers experience substantial delays.
The LOS and its associated intersection delay for signalized and unsignalized intersections is presented in
Table 1. 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.
!� ��� � i � , �
Signalized Intersection TWSC/AWSC* Intersection
LOS Delay(sec) Delay(sec)
A < l0 < 10
B > lOto<20 > lOto< l5
C >20to<35 > 15to<25
D >35to<55 >25to<35
E > SSto<80 >35to<50
F >80 >50
*TWSC=Two-Way Stop Control,AWSC=All Way Stop Control
Modeling Methodology
Synchro/SimTraffic was used to analyze the following intersections for LOS,delay, and queuing:
• Mainstreet at 8`�'Ave S
• Mainstreet at 9'�'Ave S
• ls' StSat8`hAveS
• 15tStSat9`"AveS
• Excelsior Blvd (C.S.A.H. 3) at 8"'Ave S
• Excelsior Blvd(C.S.A.H. 3)at 9°i Ave S
Six different alternative concepts were developed for the study area. The existing conditions and these
alternatives were modeled and analyzed to determine the traffic impacts of each. 2014 existing volumes
were used and redistributed based on the roadway changes for each alternative. Both the AM and PM
peak hours were modeled for the existing conditions and all six alternatives,however traffic volumes
were significantly higher during the PM peak hour therefore those results were used for comparison and
are discussed below.

Existing Conditions with Proposed 240-stall Parking Ramp
A 240 stall parking ramp is currently being considered for the southwest corner of 8`�'Ave S and ]S` St S
as shown on Figure 1.The ramp is proposed to serve the needs of the future Hopkins light rail station on
the south side of Excelsior Blvd. To provide the most conservative situation,during the PM peak hour,it
was assumed that all 240 vehicles would exit the parking ramp with 25 percent exiting onto 1 S`St S and
75 percent exiting onto 8��'Ave S. This additional traffic is distributed through the study area and the key
intersections are analyzed to detennine the anticipated impacts. Table 3 suinmarizes the results of this
analysis for the PM peak hour.

Alternative lA
Figure 2 illustrates the proposed Alternative 1 A traffic operations. Alternative 1 A converts 8`�'Ave S and
9`''Ave S into one way pairs between 1 S` St S and Mainstreet. A free right is added for the eastbound
movement at the intersection of 1S1 St South and 8°i Ave South. At the intersection of 9°'Ave S and 1 S` St
S a divider is placed to restrict the southbound thru and right movement as well as the northbound thru
movement. This essentially provides a southbound free movement with no stops. The redistributed traffic
in the study area and the key intersections are analyzed to determine the operational impacts. Table 4

Alternative 2B
Figure 5 illustrates the proposed Alternative 2B traffic operations. Alternative 2B converts 8`�'Ave S and
9t�'Ave S into one way pairs between ls` St S and Mainstreet. Roundabouts are added at the intersections
of 9`�'Ave S/151 St S and 8°i Ave S/ls` St S.The redistributed traffic in the study area and the key
intersections are analyzed to determine the impacts. Table 7 summarizes the results of this analysis for
the PM peak hour.

All intersections have acceptable operations with a LOS of B or better and do not have any unacceptable
movements. Results indicate that operations are not significantly different than existing. Extreinely
limited change in operations was noted between Alternatives 2A and 2B. Therefore,any value in adding
a roundabout to the intersection of 1 S`St S and 9`h Ave S appears minimal from a vehicular traffic
operations standpoint.

Alternative 3
Figure 6 illustrates the proposed Alternative 3 traffic operations. Alternative 3 adds a roundabout at the
intersection of 8°i Ave S and ls` St S but 8°'Ave S and 9`�'Ave S are maintained as two way roadways.
Existing traffic is analyzed for the key intersections with the traffic control changes to determine the
impacts. Table 8 summarizes the results of this analysis for the PM peak hour.

Figure 7 illustrates the proposed Alternative 4 traffic operations. Alternative 4 converts 8�'Ave S and 9`�'
Ave S into one way pairs between Excelsior Blvd and Mainstreet. 9`�'Ave S is realigned south of 1 S'St S
to form a new T-intersection. The redistributed traffic in the study area and the key intersections are

V. Conclusion
The six alternatives do not significantly iinpact the traffic operations in the study area. All intersections
are anticipated to operate at an acceptable LOS under each of the alternatives presented. Table 10
includes a summary of the restricted movements with alternative routes for the now restricted movements
for the different Alternatives analyzed. Table 11 includes a matrix of the positives and negatives of the
alternatives considered.

The Artery Experiment would not have been possible without the vision and kind direction of
Kersten Elverum, Director of Planning and Economic Development,City of Hopkins,and of Meg
Beekman,Community Development Coordinator,City of Hopkins; nor without the generous
support provided by the City's Public Works Department and the many volunteers who contributed
their time and energy and provided feedback to the project.

Restricted by budgetary,information,and time constraints,governments are often unable to
produce community projects that truly reflect the preferences and needs of the community.The
City of Hopkins did not want to fall victim to such a circumstance when planning one of its major
undertakings,the Artery; rather,it wanted to actively ensure that the money it would be spending
on a large-scale reconstruction project would be well spent and that the project itself would be
beneficial to and desired by the community.
Enter the Artery Experiment. Held on Saturday,July 11,2015,this well attended one-day event was
designed to introduce to Hopkins residents and visitors plans for the Artery-a reconstruction of
gth Avenue South-and to seek their feedback on the proposed designs. Featuring nearly twenty
different temporary installations,meant to mimic permanent components featured in the initial
plans,the Artery Experiment provided guests with an opportunity to experience what is proposed
currently for 8th Avenue South and to influence what will actually be built.
This report presents a summary of each of the installations featured at the Artery Experiment.
When relevant,a"lessons learned"section is included and is intended to aid people who may be
planning similar events in the future.The report also contains summaries of the feedback provided
in the preference surveys that were distributed to guests at the event.
The collaborative and cooperative approach that was `'� .�;, M
essential to the successful planning and execution of the �` w
Artery Experiment cannot be overemphasized.The event ( �� ��'�•m �

Significant efforts were made to publicize the event.A flyer,which appears below,was used in
press releases.It was also posted in commercial,retail,and restaurant locations throughout
Hopkins and in rental housing complexes in the City's downtown.Driskill's Food,a grocery store
located downtown,graciously agreed to put flyers in their grocery bags the week before the event.
In the days leading up to the event,several posts were made on the City's Facebook page-each
describing different features of the Artery Experiment or relaying general information about the
event. Information was also posted on the websites of the Hopkins Center for the Arts and Hopkins
Raspberry Festival.

IV_ Outrearh along �3u� �venue
Many of the installations of the Artery Experiment would not have been possible without the
support of businesses,organizations,and apartment complexes along 8th Avenue South.
Hopkins Plaza,an apartment and townhome complex,was an enthusiastic and supportive
community partner.When alerted that the road closure for the open streets event would block
access to one of their resident parking lots,the development and management teams happily
agreed to turn the situation into a positive and host complementary activities on their property.
Mr.Michael Boyd,property manager of Hopkins Plaza,programed various activities for their
parking lot, including:a photography exhibit and sale,a food truck,a paintball fundraiser,and a
fire truck. Management also allowed Jimmy Longoria's interactive mural installation to be
located in the parking lot.
Gallery Flats,another apartment complex on 8�h Avenue,permitted the City to use its Wi-Fi for
credit card transactions made at the Art from the Attic Sale.
Little Blind Spot,a window covering store and showroom,allowed the City to station its bike
corral in one of its parking lots.
Members of the Hopkins Elks Lodge#2221 granted the City permission to use its yard and
parking lot for the lawn games installation.They also had a cookout open to the public.
myHealth for Teens and Young Adults,a medical clinic,graciously permitted the City to place a
large vertical wooden structure in front of their building days before the event for Shawn
McCann to create his 3-D chalk rendering.
Mainstreet Bar&Grill had an outdoor setup near Artery Plaza from which they sold various
lunch items.

ID Comments
15 Music needs to be at safe decibels.
25 Careful cutting off the people who live south of Excelsior in Hopkins!Already lost one road/access to Excelsior Boulevard.
39 Bikeway is cool!(McCartney Walker)
55 When traveling on the bike lane southbound the cars also heading south on 8th and turning west cut off bikers going straight ahead in the
bike lane as they turned.
56 Go Hopkins!
61 So excited for this!!!Can't wait to see the finished design.
69 Any way to connect this with 9th?Connect to Downtown Park,Farmers Market,7own Square-all 3 of these seem underutilized-signs
perhaps?Must make it unique with lots of greenery,places to hang out,inviting-if$is an issue,keep it condensed-don't spread out too
thin or it will seem like nothing.Love it!!Go Hopkins!If you build it well,they will come!
84 Cycle track:But timing most important.Needed now!
92 Hopkins already has lots of outdoor seating and gathering space;water bottle refill;Nice Ride
97 Dog parks
99 More places for dogs
106 Cycle track:This is all that I want.
107 Feedback on the temporary bike trail:it was confusing while entering the artery from main road which was on your right side(going left
might cause confusion);while crossing the roads do we continue to bike on bike trail or we need to bike on the zebra crossing lines;will
need sufficient signals at every crossing.
108 We took the Cedar-Lake Trail from the Depot to 8th Ave and then came North-we are wondering how the cycle track will connect up with
crossing Excelsior Boulevard(we were on the right side of 8th when crossing Excelsior and then needed to cross over 8th to the left side to
enter the cycle track);also we were wondering about crossing Mainstreet-if bikers need to cross at the crosswalk or can continue straight
ahead;will there be markings on the street?Also wondering how to exit the track if we want to go some place mid-block;it was great to
have a protected track and to connect the two trails.Thanks!
139 Connect to light rail station;tycle track connected to current trails
140 Places for pop-up performances:Noise issue for nearby residents!
152 Love the St.Patrick's day parade!The mayor is a great guy.Center for the Arts is cool.Good new beer places/LTD and 819 rock.Please
change date of Raspberry Festival its always the week of our family reunion
153 Add a grocery store like Kowalski's
155 I'd really to see something about the Dow House incorporated into this.

Planning and Economic Development staff partnered with Hopkins Center for the Arts (HCA) staff
in an effort to incorporate even more artful elements into the Artery Experiment. In addition to the
Art from the Attic Sale,the HCA planned a"Plein Air"painting competition-in which artists
painted the outdoor scenes before them.After painting at various locations throughout downtown
Hopkins, Plein Air contestants gathered in Downtown Park for a reception at 4:00 P.M.during
which the winners of the competition were announced.
1St place: Angeleta Smith
2°a place: Greg Lecker
3rd place: Jane McKinlay
Copies of the seven paintings created during the competition are found on the following pages.

Nearby every installation at the Artery Experiment was a"What is This Thing?"sign.Meant to
educate and inform attendees of all ages and literacy abilities,these signs used both colorful
depictions and simple text to relay their messages. Signs not only explained what an installation
was,they also identified why the installation was part of the Artery Experiment and what it related
to in the Artery's final design.The signs were designed by City staff and by Bolton&Menk, Inc.,the
consulting engineering and surveying firm that works with the City on the final Artery plans; the
signs were produced by Bolton&Menk, Inc.

Re: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services

City of Hopkins, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Stanley:
We are pleased to offer you our proposal for professiona] engineering services for the final design phase
of the City of Hopkins' Artery and 2"d St S Improvements. This proposal is based on our preliminary
design report and our meeting on August 18th. Our proposed fee for the final design phase, inclusive of
the fees of our sub-consultants, is$368,842. Consistent with past practice,the enclosed proposal has been
prcpared in the form of our standard agreement.
7'o successfully design this unique corridor in an efficient manner, we have crafted the enclosed proposal
to heavily coordinate with City Staff and a stakeholder focus group comprised of multiple agencies. These
initiatives should also aid in consensus building acnidst all funding and permitting agencies. Finally, we
propose to carefully critique all design elements from a maintenance perspective through routine internal
QA/QC reviews and multiple external plan review opportunities at various design milestones.
Thank you, for allowing Bolton & Menk, Inc. to submit this proposal for your consideration. If you have
any questions regarding this proposal or would like to discuss any of its details, please do not hesitate to
call me. We truly appreciate and value our continued working relationship with the City of Hopkins.

EXHIBIT I
FINAL DESIGN SERVICES
THE ARTERY & 2ND ST S IMPROVEMENTS
CITY OF HOPKINS, MINNESOTA
A. BASIC SERVICES
In accordance with the preliminary design report, the City of Hopkins is interested in
developing plans and specifications for construction of the Artery along 8`� Avenue S
between Mainstreet and Excelsior Boulevard. The Artery will also require construction of
improvements along 2nd Street S, between 5`h Avenue and 8`h Avenue, and along 8`h
Avenue N, from Mainstreet to the existing regional trai] near Is` St N.
Bolton & Menk, Inc. will provide professional engineering, surveying, and landscape
architecture services to meet this need. Bolton & Menk will also contract with others to
provide geotechnical engineering, architectural/structural engineering, and professional
lighting design services. A description of proposed services is detailed herein.
Task 1: Final Design and Bid Phase Services
Bolton & Menk, Inc. will develop final design construction documents based on the
Artery Master Plan/preliminary design. Final design and bid phase services shall include
the following:
1.1 Public Utilities
Detailed design for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements. Maintenance of sanitary
sewer service and water service (domestic and fire protection) will be considered and
incorporated into the design. This task includes preparation of the following plans:
• Removal plans
• Plan and profile sheets for sanitary sewer and watermain improvements, including
coordination with appropriate City Staff inembers and developers regarding utility
service sizes for individual properties
• Construction details
1.2 Roadway Corridor Geometry
Our team of engineers and technicians are committed to providing comprehensive,
detailed construction plans that are legible, constructible, and ultimately improvements
that are maintainable. This task includes preparation of the following plans:
• Removal plans
� Plan and profile sheets (20 scale) showing plan dimensions; profiles on roadway
centerline, curb, and cycle track; spot elevations and grades on sidewalks,
pervious pavers, and biofiltration facility borders
• Construction details, including intersection details, building entrance details,
special pavement details, and biofiltration facility borders
City of Hopkins ] DRAFT September 3,2015
• Internal QA/QC reviews for constructability and maintainability including but not
limited to snow removal and proper drainage
� Typical sections
1.3 Storm Sewer, Pervious Paver Systems, and Miscellaneous Drainage
Stormwater management features of the Artery are a unique and vital element of the
corridor's success. The design of these feature is intended to provide a mixture of
stormwater management benefits to adjacent properties, provide a source of water for
corridor plantings, and adequately drain the corridor facilities for safe and efficient use by
the public and maintenance staff. Careful consideration and critique of all elements will
be critical to achieving success. This task includes preparation of the following plans and
efforts:
• Creation of removal plans
• Further detailed consideration of regional stormwater management opportunities
for use by adjacent developments
• Stormwater management calculations to meet Nine Mile Creek Watershed
District Standards for permitting and potentially stormwater management credit
banking
• Spread analysis on both the standard easterly curb line and the central pervious
paver drainage pan system as well as citing drainage structures/overflows at
appropriate locations for extreme rainfall events
• Storm pipe and system capacity analysis using the previously developed Citywide
Storm and Sanitary Analysis (SSA) model
• Plan and profile sheets (20 scale) showing proposed starm sewer and underdrain
layout
• Details of biofiltration facilities including excavation depths, planting/filtration
materials, underdrains, and storage capacities/depths/overflow elevations
• Coordination with the landscape plan for suitable plantings given anticipated
drainage conditions
• Creation of details and tabulations of storm sewer piping and structures
1.4 Signal Improvements—Mainstreet and 8rn
The project includes signal revisions to the Mainstreet/8`� intersection to accommodate
new 8`h roadway alignment and cycle track. This will include the development of a
revised signal plan for each signal, wiring diagrams, and Special Provisions. Signal plans
will follow MnDOT standards. The existing signal timings will be evaluated and a
coordination plan will be developed to fit with the coordination of signals completed
under the Mainstreet Improvements Project.
1.5 Signal Improvements—Excelsior and gtn
Between the LRT and Artery projects, major revisions to the traffic signal at Excelsior
Blvd and 8`� Avenue are anticipated. The signal cabinet and equipment will need to be
upgraded to include the LRT preemption, cycle track signals, APS improvements,
exclusive left turn signals for N-S traffic, and possibly flashing yellow arrow for some or
all directions. Signal pole relocations and mast arm modifications are also anticipated.
City of Hopkins 2 DRAF`T September 3,2015
Interconnection with the signals along Excelsior Boulevard may be necessary as dictated
by Hennepin County.
Bolton & Menk's project team is experienced and qualified in all of these signal
modifications, however we recognize the majority of these efforts would be a necessary
improvement of the LRT project without the presence of Artery. Therefore, we are
proposing they be completed by the LRT project at the cost of the SPO. As such, no work
is proposed within the scope of this agreement. Bolton & Menk would be pleased to
design these improvements for the City of Hopkins as an alternative,but would suggest
all costs should be borne by the SPO for our efforts. This agreement can be revisited to
include such scope or a separate proposal can be provided to include this work.
1.6 Staging and Temporary Traffic Control
Our team will develop a construction staging plan that manages effective movement of
vehicular and pedestrian traffic while maintaining efficient construction progress
throughout construction. The staging plan will be developed through consideration of
working days necessary to complete the project, cost effectiveness of various
staging/traffic control alternatives, the access needs of adjacent properties and impact of
parking and access restrictions, and function of the City's roadway network while access
is restricted along 8`h Avenue S . This is especially important for redevelopment along 8`h
that may have limited construction access. Staging plans will address traffic control needs
for each stage of construction and include quantities and bid items far temporary items.
This task includes preparation of:
• Construction Staging and Traffic Control Plans
1.7 Landscape Plan Development

and its connections. In addition to the City, agency stakeholders key to the project's
success in addition to the public at large include Three Rivers Park District, Met
Council's Southwest Project Office (SPO), Met Transit, Hennepin County Public
WarksBngineering, Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (NMCWD), and developer(s)
working on adjacent property. Bolton & Menk is proposing both a coordination plan and
public outreach plan to efficiently deliver the Artery project.
2.1 City Staff coordination meetings (5 meetings)
Five meetings are proposed to be held with City of Hopkins staff throughout the final
design process. These meetings will discuss findings, issues, schedule, and needs to keep
the project progressing.
2.2 Stakeholder Group Meetings (4 meetings)
To efficiently facilitate permitting and buy-in from the key stakeholders, Bolton & Menk
is proposing to develop a project stakeholder focus group to meet on a regular (perhaps a
City of Hopkins 5 DRAFT September 3,2015
bi-monthly or quarterly) basis. Such meetings are proposed in addition to meetings with
City Staff who wouid be able to provide guidance and direction prior to each stakeholder
group meeting. Specific discussion topics will be developed prior to each meeting, but in
general these meetings would entail:
• Meeting 1 —The public infarmational meeting will begin early in the final design
process in order to communicate to the stakeholders owners the general nature of
the project and to gather information and ideas. Some final design input would
also be sought at this meeting.
• Meeting 2— Input session for final design options. This is an opportunity for the
stakeholders to react to the various design options and verify the design direction.

work is as follows:
• Coordinate new electric service for proposed new feedpoints, or upgrade of
existing feedpoints as necessary to be determined in the course of design.
• Meet with Bolton & Menk and City Staff to develop electrical design (and
lighting design if applicable). Three in-person meetings have been budgeted in
Hopkins or Burnsville.
• New load calculations, as well as voltage drop calculations for powering of
lighting and system components.
• Relocation of three (3) existing poles/luminaires along Excelsior Boulevard.
• Lighting design services including product selection assistance and lighting layout
with photometric analyses of product options and recommendations.
• Proposed electrical and lighting system design documents, developed to the
appropriate stage, consisting of plans and specifications. These will be developed
to 60°Io, 90°Io, and full construction document stages.
• Opinion of Probable Cost to 60°Io, 90°Io, and full construction document stages.
• Bid-phase assistance in the form of answering bidder questions via telephone.
Costs for services by companies other than Bolton & Menk are proposed to be furnished
at cost plus 10°Io overhead fee, consistent with our standard agreement.
