She also provided the recommended improvements along with the anticipated benefits and answered questions from Council. Mr. David Allen, 4409 Glenwood Avenue, said he was representing a group of Glenwood residents that met to discuss the proposed parking restrictions. He said some residents had canvassed the neighborhood between Highway 100 and Theodore Wirth Parkway and received over 35 signatures on a petition expressing concern about the parking ban. Mr. Bruce Pappas, 20 Ardmore Drive, said he was on the Glenwood Repaving Committee and was not for or against parking but concerned about safety. He said he did not feel safe walking his kids to the park on Glenwood. He said he supported the parking ban because he heard not many people parked on it and added that Glenwood could not have both bike lanes and parking. Ms. Lynn Argetsinger, 4333 Glenwood Avenue, said she was one of the canvassers. She said that Glenwood Avenue only has eight streetlights on it. She said she has many meetings at her home and wanted to know where her guests could safely park. City of Golden Valley City Council Regular Meeting Minutes 3 September 17, 2019—6:30 pm 31. Restricting Parking on Glenwood Avenue-continued Mr. Brent Reichow, 3902 Glenwood Avenue, asked if it is the County's minimum requirement to have five feet for bike lanes because it seemed very generous. He also answered how many of the study participants were Glenwood residents. Ms. Joyce Orback, 3920 Glenwood Avenue, said she has lived in her home for over 50 years and when she first moved in, she felt it was important to have sidewalks for the kids walking to school. She said she worked with the City to have them installed but that it does not appear that any repair work has been done to them since then. She said sidewalk repairs should be done in the short-term goals not the long-term. Mr. Peter Grant, 210 Sunnyridge Circle, said at first he was in favor of the bike lanes but after listening to his neighbors, he decided that parking was a privilege the residents of Glenwood Avenue deserve and added the speed limit on Glenwood should be lowered. Ms. Barb Busick, 4736 Glenwood Avenue, said she felt the data collected by the study group was incomplete because only two participants were residents from the neighborhood. She said this was because the neighborhood thought the project was only an improvement to Glenwood and did not include parking restrictions. She has spoken to some residents west of Highway 100 and said they did not know that parking was being taken away. She also said there are concerns from residents on the side streets that people attending events on Glenwood would park in front of their homes. Mr. Paul Klass, 309 Meadow Lane South, said he was on the study group and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force. He said when the Task Force started, the members were given data on Golden Valley's most dangerous streets for bike/ped/car accidents and Glenwood was either first or second on the list. He said there is not enough room for both biking and parking safely. Mr. Michael Johnson, 6101 Glenwood Avenue, said he rides his bike downtown every day and feels the City is doing a good job on bike lanes. He said five feet is a wide lane for biking and he did not realize parking was available on Glenwood because in the morning, there are very few cars parked on it. The was much Council discussion regarding restricting parking on Glenwood Avenue between Highway 100 and Xerxes Avenue North and the proposed bike lanes. MOTION made by Council Member Clausen, seconded by Council Member Schmidgall to adopt Resolution 19-52, restricting parking on Glenwood Avenue between Highway 100 and Xerxes Avenue North and supporting the timely completion of additional improvements to the corridor.
