Excusable Delays/Additional Costs: MWP, and/or its affiliates, shall be liable for default unless delay of performance, whether supplying materials
only or including installation in accordance with our project scope, is caused by an occurrence beyond reasonable control of MWP, and/or its
affiliates, such as, but not limited to, acts of Superior Force or the public enemy, acts of Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity,
fire, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, delays of common carriers (for transportation of goods whether
raw materials or finished product) and attainability of raw materials. Such events resulting in additional costs are not included in quoted amounts
and shall be the responsibility of the Owner/Owner's Representative. Any additional costs shall be provided in writing for purchaser's records and
shall be due upon payment of invoice.
This quotation is subject to polices in the current Gametime Park and Playground catalog and the following terms and conditions. Our quotation is
based on shipment of all items at one time to a single destination, unless noted, and changes are subject to price adjustment. Purchases in excess
of $1,000.00 to be supported by your written purchase order made out to Gametime, c/o Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground.
Each quote is handled on a per order/project basis. Unless a long-term agreement is in place between purchaser and GameTime, terms and
conditions of this quotation shall be as outlined herein with no other requirements applicable.
Pricing: f.o.b. factory, firm for 15 days from date of quotation or until the funds are depleted. A tax-exempt certificate is needed at time of order
entry for all orders whether from tax-supported government agencies or not. Sales tax, if applicable, will be added at time of invoice unless a tax
exempt certificate is provided at time of order entry.
Materials Surcharge: due to the volatility in various industries such as, but not limited to, those supplying steel, a surcharge is needed to offset
some of the excessive material costs being experienced in our industry, as well as others. This is being looked upon as a short-term necessity but
no guarantees can be given that this surcharge will be removed in the near future. Once costs of materials have returned to the levels in recent
history, the surcharge will be removed.
Payment terms: per the requirements of the grant, payment in full, check submitted with order
Unless already on file, please include a tax exempt certificate upon order entry whether a tax supported government agency or other.
GameTime Standard Product Shipment: order shall ship within twelve to fourteen weeks after GameTime's receipt and acceptance of your
purchase order, color selections, approved submittals, and receipt of deposit, if required. Receipt of anything other than what is stated herein will
not constitute an order and therefore no materials will be placed into production nor installation, if required, will be scheduled.

Page 1 of 3
Project Scope:
Please note, installation is based on site being ready prior to our arrival to install play equipment as well as site conditions that have been conveyed
to our organization by the owner/owner's representative and/or ideal conditions existing for a timely completion of your project as quoted. Unless
addressed prior to the installation quote being issued or specifically mentioned herein, any issues that arise that impede the progress/completion of
your project as quoted will result in additional charges.
Weather can change project scheduling in many ways. Take rain for an example. Day, or days, before rain... If weather forecasts show a high
percentage chance for rain that will effect the site conditions, a postponement may be in order. Digging holes, laying certain surfacing materials,
etc., are greatly affected by weather conditions and work may not begin/continue due to weather forecasts. There's the rain days themselves, which
if heavy enough rainfall occurs, makes a site unworkable. Day, or days, after rain... Drying time will be needed after rain and the number of days
needed will vary depending on amount of moisture received. One actual rain day may equal multiple delay days depending on work scheduled to
be done.

- Restroom facilities. Please provide access to restrooms whether within a building or portable style. Should use of site facilities not be available,
additional charges will be required to bring on site temporary/portable restrooms. These temporary facilities will be removed once your project has
been completed.
- Short term maintenance, check manufacturer's owner's manual recommendations for maintenance and always follow these written instructions.
To help set up short (and ongoing) term maintenance, use the first twelve months to regularly check equipment (such as, but not limited to,
tightening hardware, checking moving features, etc.). Twelve months allows use in all seasons and will provide a better understanding of what will
be necessary for your ongoing maintenance. This short term schedule will be based on the amount of use the play equipment is getting as well as
the type of play event that is being played on. Activities with movement have a more dynamic play which can lead to more maintenance due to the
nature of the motion but also because these types of play events tend to be more popular. Static features may require less attention during the
short term and ongoing maintenance as inspections will determine frequency of maintenance needed for these events. There may be a need for
scheduled lower and higher frequency inspections.
- Ongoing maintenance, check manufacturer's owner's manual recommendations for maintenance and always follow these written instructions.
After short term maintenance period is done and data is collected for that time period, an ongoing schedule should be implemented. The ongoing
maintenance can change with age and greater use. There may be a need for scheduled lower and higher frequency inspections.
Should weekend work be necessary or non-standard hours be worked, please provide a site contact and the best telephone number to reach this
person in case an urgent matter arises requiring immediate attention.

Parks and Recreation Programming Survey Community Input Report Page 2
Overview
Soliciting public input was a major component of the City’s consideration of the new play structure and
potential new amenities at South Tyrol Park.
Staff solicited input from the South Tyrol Park surrounding neighborhood through an online and paper
survey and an Oct 7 open house at Brookview regarding the following areas:
• new play structure
• color pallet of new play structure
• replacing the small ballfield with a new amenity
To promote the survey and open house, the City send postcards to the South Tyrol Park neighborhood.
Survey
The survey asked for public input on each of the areas under consideration. The online survey was
active from 12 am Monday, Oct 4 to 11:45 pm Sunday, Oct 10, was limited to one response per IP
address, and had 26 responses.
The paper survey was available at the Oct 7 open house and asked the same questions as the online
survey. The paper survey had 11 responses.
Results of the online and paper surveys were combined in this report. See page 3 for detailed survey
responses.

ability to co-garden/grow vegetables, etc.

3. D. 5. Approve Agreement for Residential Curbside Recycling and Organics Collection Services
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Eric Eckman, Environmental Resources Supervisor
Drew Chirpich, Environmental Specialist
Summary
Golden Valley has provided residential curbside recycling collection since 1987. The current recycling
contract with Allied Waste Services doing business as Republic Services ends on December 31, 2021.
Upon recommendation by the Environmental Commission and in order to meet the requirements of
Hennepin County Ordinance 13, the City Council directed staff at its June 9, 2020 work session to
expand the curbside recycling program to include citywide organics collection beginning in January
2022.
Staff worked with the Environmental Commission to draft a Request For Proposals (RFP) for Residential
Curbside Recycling and Organics Recycling Services and issued the RFP on February 1, 2021, reaching
out to all residential haulers licensed within the seven-county metro area. Four companies responded
to the RFP: Curbside Waste, Republic Services, Vierkant Disposal, and West Central Sanitation.
The RFP required each bidder to provide bi-weekly recycling collection and weekly organics collection
for all customers, city parks, and city campuses currently served under the existing recycling contract.
Bidders were permitted to submit alternate proposals to allow for innovation or creative programs,
and all proposals were considered.
Republic Services and West Central Sanitation submitted full proposals for both recycling and organics
recycling services. Curbside Waste and Vierkant Disposal submitted proposals for organics recycling
service only.
Staff from multiple departments reviewed the proposals. Staff evaluated the proposals with respect to
State and County waste reduction goals, responsiveness to provisions in the RFP, qualifications,
performance, safety, vehicles, technology and innovation, price, market variability/revenue share,
material recovery, education/tagging, commitment to racial and gender equity, environmental
sustainability, ability to provide customer service, and other factors.
City Council Regular Meeting Executive Summary
City of Golden Valley
October 19, 2021

Based on these factors, staff developed a recommendation to select Republic Services as the top-
ranked proposer to move forward in the RFP process. Republic Services submitted a proposal for
recycling collection and processing with a fixed rate model and fixed annual adjustments for five years
with no additional processing fees, and organics recycling collection with fixed annual adjustments for
five years with no additional processing/tipping fees. In 2022, the proposed price for recycling
collection is $4.80 per household per month and the price for organics collection is $5.00 per
household per month.
In addition to cost considerations, Republic Services demonstrated value and leadership in the
following areas:
• Wide range of collectable recyclable materials, owns and operates a local Materials Recovery
Facility (MRF) in Minneapolis
• Racial and gender equity, diversity and inclusion plans, goals, and commitment.
o Launched a Black Employee Network, which is a business resource group that supports
Republic’s community of Black employees. This group promotes cultural awareness to
support a more inclusive workplace. In 2020 and beyond, expects to launch additional
business resource groups.
o Republic’s Mission Of Supporting An Inclusive Culture (M.O.S.A.I.C.) is driven by its office
of inclusion and diversity and supported by its M.O.S.A.I.C. Council, which is comprised
of cross-functional leaders from throughout the company.
o M.O.S.A.I.C. Council launched the Women of Republic business resource group, which
was developed to provide a platform to empower members and enrich a diverse culture
that values, develops, and advances women in leadership.
• Extensive sustainability plan and goals, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks, methane capture
at landfills
• Safe vehicles with more cameras and monitors, side loading vehicles
• Industry low incident rate, comprehensive driver training program
• More extensive tagging protocols for contamination, better educational materials
• More extensive and frequent composition analysis
Staff presented its RFP recommendation to the Environmental Commission on March 22, 2021 and
requested input, feedback, and guidance to help inform the drafting of the agreement. Staff also
worked closely with Hennepin County staff and the City Attorney to finalize the terms of the
agreement.
If the agreement is approved, the new recycling and organics collection services will begin in January
2022 and organics carts will be rolled out to the community just ahead of the first service date. The
communication and education campaign will continue with updated information to residents using a
variety of media and platforms.
Financial or Budget Considerations
According to information from Hennepin County and Recycling Markets.com, the commodity value for
recycled material has decreased over time since the City’s last RFP process several years ago, and has
been impacted more recently by the restriction of recycling markets in China (2018) and shifts in

recycling due to the global pandemic (2020). These changes along with a proposed expansion of the
City’s current recycling program to include organics collection results in an increase in the City’s overall
recycling budget in 2022.
The City’s proposed 2022-2023 biennial budget includes an increase of approximately $555,000 in
2022 to fund the City’s comprehensive recycling program which consists of curbside recycling
collection, proposed curbside organics collection, Spring Brush Pick-up, Fall Leaf Drop-off, Mighty Tidy
Day and other events, Sentencing to Service contractual program, education and outreach, supplies,
staffing, and administration.
The budget increase would be funded by a combination of user fees and Hennepin County SCORE grant
funds. A fee of $34 per quarter ($11.33 per month) per household is being proposed in 2022. For
reference, the current fee in 2021 is $17 per quarter ($5.66 per month) per household and does not
include organics collection. Based on information from Hennepin County, the City will receive more
SCORE grant funds in 2022 with its inclusion of citywide organics collection. Staff estimates the City will
receive approximately $75,000 in SCORE grant funds in 2022 compared with approximately $35,552 in
2021.

18782441.1
At a minimum, the Contractor shall collect all SSOM, as defined in Appendix A, and any other materials
agreed upon by the Contractor and the City in the future. Hennepin County may add items to this list, at

The organics price provided by the contractor in the RFP response includes the anticipated 2022 cost
paid to process the material at an appropriately permitted facility (tipping fee). The Contractor shall
provide the City with documentation of actual tipping fees paid at the City’s request. Beginning in 2024,
in the event that disposal costs for the organics waste stream increase or decrease because of
unanticipated market adjustments, the City and Contractor shall enter into good faith negotiations in
order to determine if an increase or decrease to the rates is warranted; provided, however, that neither
party is obligated to consent to any such increase or decrease. All such changes shall be negotiated and
agreed to by July 1st of the previous year.
6.3. Delivery Location
Organics recycling shall be collected, delivered to and weighed at a transfer station, permitted compost
facility, or an alternate site approved by the City. Material shall be delivered to Hennepin County’s
Brooklyn Park Transfer Station (BPTS), 8100 Jefferson Highway, Brooklyn Park, 55445 or other facility
permitted by the MPCA to accept and process this material.

substantial change in these or subsequent plans.
The Contractor shall weigh each collection truck before and after unloading.

different size carts and additional carts to customers at no extra charge to the customer or the City upon
request and not differentiate the price of organics collection by size of cart or quantity per customer.
Damaged or unusable carts must be recycled. All costs incurred in recycling carts shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor, at no additional cost to the City.
6.6. Organics Drop-Site Collection
The City reserves the right to add one or more organics recycling drop-sites, for multi-family residents,
on city property along the collection route in locations to be mutually determined by the City and

dumpsters present at the location or the tipping frequency. The City reserves the right to expand or
contract the list of locations serviced under this Agreement in the future.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
October 19, 2021
Agenda Item
3. E. Downtown Study Framework Plan
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
In 2020, the City hired Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. (HKGi) to conduct Phase 3 of the Downtown Study. This
final phase further developed plans for the four quadrants centered on the intersection of Winnetka Avenue
and Golden Valley Road, recommended implementation strategies, and generated a final report that will
complement the broader 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Efforts to re-envision the Civic Campus (the Northeast
Quadrant) were coordinated with the ongoing Municipal Facilities Study.
The final report (the Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan) is attached for review. The Planning
Commission discussed the contents of the Framework Plan with the consultant on October 11.
Moving forward, staff intends to pursue the following actions to begin to implement the plan (these
items would require future City Council approvals):
1. Reguide the identified downtown parcels to Community Mixed Use.
• No land use changes to the Civic Campus would be considered until the Municipal
Facilities Study is completed and the City is ready to move forward.
2. Rezone various downtown parcels to align with the updated Future Land Use Map.
3. Update the 2018 Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan to include the proposed downtown facilities.
• Explore options to prioritize and unlock funds for a future Hwy 55 pedestrian bridge.
4. Identify items for inclusion in the City’s 10-year Capital Improvement Program.
• Could include money for a traffic study, or key road and trail infrastructure projects.
5. Explore the creation of a Downtown Overly District to incorporate recommended design
guidelines.
6. Investigate financial tools to support future redevelopment.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
No immediate impacts, though future actions by the Council to implement the plan would involve
varying levels of financial commitments.
Recommended Action
Motion to receive and file the Downtown Study Framework Plan.

OCTOBER 2021 3
Downtown Golden Valley is the community’s
main hub for restaurants, stores, services, and civic
institutions. As part of the Downtown West area,
the downtown was identified as one of four key
redevelopment areas/planning districts in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan. Golden Valley has a legacy of
downtown revitalization efforts over the years, including
the civic campus, Winnetka Ave streetscape features,
and private redevelopment projects (e.g. Golden Valley
Commons, Town Square, Wesley Commons housing,
Valley Square Commons housing). However, some
areas in the downtown are in need of reinvestment or
redevelopment and are beginning to attract developer
interest.
The purpose of the downtown study was to evaluate
the issues and opportunities present in the downtown,
explore alternative redevelopment and placemaking
concepts, and identify both a short-term and long-term
downtown vision and framework plan. The City’s interest
is to create a more defined downtown by establishing a
cohesive redevelopment plan for the entire downtown,
including the four quadrants surrounding the intersection
of Winnetka Ave and Golden Valley Road. The downtown
area consists of the two commercial quadrants along
Highway 55, the civic campus, townhouse and apartment
residences west of Winnetka Ave, and the commercial-
industrial area north of Bassett Creek. In conjunction
with the 2021 Golden Valley Municipal Facilities Study, the downtown study includes a focused exploration of ways to improve, reorient, and/or redevelop
the civic campus to support high quality municipal services, enhance the downtown as a community gathering place, and maximize the potential long-
term value of this key downtown site. Since the community has prioritized the development of an improved walk/bike system throughout the community,
in particular in the downtown, the downtown study also focuses on improving walk/bike connectivity within and to/from the downtown. Finally, the
downtown study was charged with identifying the City’s role in future downtown reinvestment and redevelopment.
The downtown study consisted of three phases that took place from 2018 to 2021. These three phases are described in the Downtown Study Process and
Involvement section on the next page. The Downtown Redevelopment Framework Plan is the culmination of the three-phase process. The planning process
involved meetings with the City Staff Team, Planning Commission/City Council, property owners/stakeholders, and the general public. The Framework Plan
includes a downtown vision and guiding principles for preferred redevelopment and placemaking in the downtown core, site redevelopment concepts
within each quadrant of the downtown, downtown vehicular circulation and access improvements, and a detailed bike/walk system plan.

DOWNTOWN VISION
Golden Valley’s downtown will continue to evolve into the community’s central and most identifiable
destination for a wide variety of places and activities desirable for city residents, employees and visitors. The
downtown is home to places to shop, eat and drink, access civic services, work, live, walk, bike, sit outside,
enjoy recreational and natural spaces, and interact with neighbors. Through strategic reinvestment and
redevelopment, the downtown will become a more attractive, connected, and welcoming place conveniently
accessible for people to gather, walk, bicycle, drive, and take transit.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
1. Weave together all four quadrants of the downtown for walking and bicycling through development
of a more desirable walking environment, an expanded bike/walk network, and improved walk/bike street
crossings.
2. Improve circulation and access for people driving and parking within the downtown including new
connections through existing superblocks.
3. Attract a greater variety of uses to the downtown to make it a stronger destination, including
employment opportunities, unique restaurants, entertainment, daily needs (e.g. grocery, pharmacy), and
recreation; while also respecting and supporting existing businesses to thrive in the downtown.
4. Center our community center by reorganizing civic services and the library into a more cohesive campus
that embraces Bassett Creek and enables business expansion in the downtown core.
5. Expand and cluster commercial uses at the downtown’s core intersection of Winnetka/Golden Valley
Road and in prominent locations along Hwy 55.
6. Ensure that buildings and outdoor gathering spaces have a strong orientation toward the downtown’s
main streets – Winnetka Ave and Golden Valley Road.
7. Leverage redevelopment to incorporate additional public outdoor gathering spaces in the form of
plazas, outdoor seating areas, small parks, and trails.
8. Strengthen the downtown’s connectivity to adjacent neighborhoods and recreational amenities,
particularly Brookview and the Luce Line Regional Trail.
9. Add new housing and job options that have convenient access to commercial, transportation and
recreational amenities and contribute to a desirable downtown living and working environment.

OCTOBER 2021 13
Issues
• Commercial buildings in need of reinvestment and updating
• Some industrial buildings are obsolete and converting to non-industrial
uses
• Most buildings are not oriented to the downtown street main streets
and sidewalks – Winnetka Ave and Golden Valley Road, e.g. Golden Valley
Shopping Center’s blank back wall faces Golden Valley Road
• Fire/police facilities need more space and upgrades, which resulted in a
recent expansion/consolidation study
• The downtown core essentially consists of 4 quadrants that are not well
connected
• Existing development is dominated by one-story buildings and large
surface parking lots
• Walking environment is not comfortable or inviting including:
- high traffic and wide streets that make street crossings challenging
- lack of pedestrian streetscape design
- large surface parking lots separate buildings from sidewalks
• Lack of bicycling facilities/trails
• Challenging for walking/biking access to the pedestrian bridge over Hwy
55
Opportunities
• Growing interest in development projects in the area, including
residential and new businesses
• Lots of community interest in attracting more businesses, particularly a
grocery store and pharmacy
• Community support for a broad mix of uses in downtown, including
adding new housing options in the downtown
• 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s long-term guidance for more mixed land
uses in downtown core area
• The City’s interest in exploring future opportunities for the civic campus
block as part of needs for reinvestment, expansion, relocation of facilities,
including potential relocation of the public works facilities outside of the
downtown core
• The downtown is adjacent to major recreational amenities, including
regional trail and Brookview
• The City has prioritized improving the walking and biking network in the
downtown
• Community interest in a new walk/bike bridge over Hwy 55
• Planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations on Hwy 55 at Winnetka Ave
• Community’s desire for a public open space or multiple smaller public
spaces in the downtown
• Bassett Creek is a hidden asset

DOWNTOWN LONG-TERM REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Overall Downtown Redevelopment Concept
• Redevelopment is anticipated on three of the four quadrants –
Southwest (SW), Northeast (NE) and Northwest (NW) – but not on the
more recently redeveloped Southeast (SE) quadrant
• Mixed use redevelopment is proposed for all three redevelopment areas
• The 2020 Municipal Facilities Needs Study will provide additional
long-term needs, options, and direction for determining the priorities,
sequencing, and financing of any changes to the civic campus
• The NE quadrant is envisioned as a consolidated civic institutional area
on the northern portion with a mix of commercial and residential on the
southern portion with a signature bike/walk pathway and public outdoor
gathering spaces running through the middle of the site
• The SW quadrant is envisioned as a mix of commercial and residential
uses with some multi-story buildings
• The NW quadrant is envisioned as a desirable area for creekside
residential redevelopment, including new housing types for downtown

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Luce Line Trail. This element brings additional green space to the block and encourages safe pedestrian access. • Integrate Outdoor Public Event Space With a history of hosting larger community-wide events such as Market in the Valley, a seasonal farmer’s market, including space for outdoor gathering and events is a critical component of the project’s program. Planning includes a 1,000 person gathering space and a building for public restrooms, catering support kitchen and administration. Planning approaches also utilize the south access drive as a pedestrian-friendly road designed to be used as shared space for additional
gathering and events.

18 DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN
GOLDEN VALLEY, MN
SW Quadrant – Redevelopment Concept and Design
Guidelines
1. Land uses should be a mix of commercial and residential,
including vertical and horizontal mixed use.
2. Commercial redevelopment should be located for good visibility
from Winnetka Ave and Highway 55 while residential should be
primarily oriented to Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Ave.
3. Residential redevelopment should include the addition of new
housing types for the downtown that are compatible with
existing housing
4. Redevelopment should create smaller “blocks” in the downtown
that improve circulation and access to businesses and
residences.
5. Private shared use streets, which create the new blocks, should
be designed to accommodate driving, bicycling, and walking
circulation and access.
6. The City should consider vacating the Golden Valley Drive
public right-of-way, which no longer connects to Wisconsin Ave,
to increase opportunities for land assembly and creating an
alternate roadway connection between Golden Valley Road and
Wisconsin Ave.
7. A new roadway connection, potentially a public or private street,
should be provided between Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin
Ave and adding a full access intersection on Wisconsin Ave.
8. Parking areas should be designed as a combination of smaller
surface parking lots, rather than one large parking lot, and
parking structures.
9. Redevelopment could be phased west to east with the
first phase potentially assembling all or some of the four
freestanding buildings on the western portion of the site.
10. In conjunction with redevelopment, Golden Valley Road should
be widened to accommodate street improvements, including an
off-street walk/bike trail and a planted boulevard separating the
trail from the street.
11. An off-street walk/bike trail should be added along the east side
of Wisconsin Ave and north side of Hwy 55 to the pedestrian
bridge.

20 DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN
GOLDEN VALLEY, MN
NW Quadrant - Redevelopment Concept and Design Guidelines
1. A trail connection should be added between the Luce Line Regional Trail and Wisconsin Ave through
acquisition of a public land corridor or public easement.
2. The sidewalk on the east side of Wisconsin Ave should be replaced with a multi-use trail to provide
an off-street walk/bike connection between the Luce Line Regional Trail and the Hwy 55 pedestrian
bridge, Brookview, and the future BRT stations.
3. Redevelopment of the large underutilized surface parking lot north of 10th Ave is encouraged for
non-residential development due to the presence of overhead power lines and the adjacent electric
substation.
4. Medium-density residential development is encouraged for the redevelopment of creekside
properties, including the addition of new housing types for the downtown.
5. Lewis Road should be redesigned as a primarily residential roadway, including addition of a
sidewalk, as part of the residential redevelopment.
6. A new Lewis Road connection to Wisconsin Ave should be part of redevelopment of the Northwest
Quadrant to provide more convenient access from Highway 55 and the downtown for residents.
7. New development should incorporate improved stormwater management techniques, including an
increase in green spaces and pervious surfaces to improve stormwater runoff, Bassett Creek water
quality, and the area’s livability.
8. A new public trail should be developed along the north side of Bassett Creek, including a trail bridge
over Bassett Creek and connections to Lewis Road, in coordination with private property owners,
the watershed district, and the City.
9. In the area between 10th Ave and Lewis Road, potential future redevelopment could be either
office, residential, or institutional.

GOLDEN VALLEY, MN
NE Quadrant - Redevelopment Concepts and Design
Guidelines
1. Two new east-west shared use streets/lanes should be added between
Winnetka Ave and Rhode Island Ave to improve connections and access
within this large block: one on the south side of the water tower and one
as an extension of the existing library drive.
2. The shared use streets should be designed as pedestrian-oriented streets
while also accommodating vehicles and bicycles:
a. Sidewalks on both sides
b. Vegetated buffers between the sidewalks and the vehicle lanes
c. Narrow drive lanes
d. Small parking bays
e. Surmountable curbs, rather than a typical raised curb, in order to create
streets that have the flexibility to be used as event spaces when closed to
vehicle traffic
f. Use a different paving material at the street edges to visually narrow the
drive lanes and reduce traffic speeds
g. Pavement markings indicating drive lanes are shared by vehicles and
bicycles
3. A signature north-south downtown pathway should be created that
connects the Luce Line Trail to Golden Valley Road through the civic
campus:
a. Side-by-side but separated bikeway (10’) and walkway (10’)
b. Minimum 8’ landscaped area between bikeway and walkway
c. Minimum 6’ landscaped area along each side of the downtown pathway
d. Where the downtown pathway crosses parking lots and shared use
streets, walk/bike crossings should be raised and/or have pavement
markings
e. Small plazas or seating areas located at key destinations along the
downtown pathway, e.g. library, future public safety building, water
tower, city hall, Golden Valley Road
4. A public park should be developed on the north side of the creek, and
if possible, on the south side in coordination with the library and the
watershed district.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Figure 4 Option B: Maximize Parcels for Redevelopment
Entries to the relocated City Hall and Public Safety buildings face inward to the new shared-use street, with surface
parking and additional public parking available below the multi-family housing. Subject to future design, the form of City Hall could intentionally be expressed as somewhat distinct from the housing above, to preserve a sense of identity.
NOTE: Massings shown for multi-use development are representative only, and align with Downtown Study
recommendations for frontages and industry best practices for floorplate depth re: double-loaded corridor and unit sizes.
Figure 1.12 Northeast Quadrant Redevelopment Concept A (Municipal Facilities Study)
24 DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN
GOLDEN VALLEY, MN
5. A new public outdoor event space should be created in the
vicinity of the downtown pathway and the water tower,
particularly if new public buildings are relocated to the existing
public works site.
6. If the public works facilities are relocated to a site outside of
downtown, relocation of the fire, police, and city hall facilities to
the center of the NE Quadrant should be considered, opening
up the potential for redevelopment of a mix of commercial and
residential in the core of downtown.
7. Redevelopment along Golden Valley Road should focus on
locating commercial uses near Winnetka Ave and ground floor
residential uses near Rhode Island Ave.
8. Buildings located adjacent to Golden Valley Road and Winnetka
Avenue should be oriented to the public street frontage and be
built within 5-15 feet of these streets.
9. Parking areas should be designed as a combination of smaller
surface parking lots, rather than one large parking lot, and
parking structures

GOLDEN VALLEY MUNICIPAL FACILITIES MASTER PLAN
Figure 4 Option C: Separate Municipal Facilities and Development Parcels
In this scheme, City Hall and Public Safety are oriented towards the Library and Bassett Creek, providing easy pedestrian
access between buildings. Given the topography of the north side of the site, City Hall is a two-story structure with public functions consolidated to a single floor, with staff functions on the other, and a parking garage beneath. The two south parcels are available for development, fronting both Golden Valley and the new shared-use street, with a centralized outdoor event space flanked by stormwater management features that become landscape amenities.
Figure 5 Alternate for City Hall and Library Co-Location
Leveraging the site topography would allow for at-grade access to City Hall at street level, and at-grade access to the library at the level of Bassett Creek and a new civic promenade. As shown here, this scheme could
include another parcel for multi-family development, or thoat portion of the
site could be left open as public outdoor space.

Walk/Bike Bridge Over Highway 55 @
Winnetka
Replacement and redesign of existing bike/
walk bridge should include the following
considerations:
-Determine the priority landing points
and how many landing points, e.g.
priority connection may be Golden Valley
Commons to Brookview or could there be 3
or 4 landings rather than 2
-More user friendly design, including
avoiding ramps with tight switchback turns
and easy access from trails, sidewalks and
bike lanes
-Coordinate location of BRT stations with
bridge landing points, e.g. consider shifting
westbound station to east side of Winnetka
-Potential for the bridge to provide
community identity, landmark, e.g. explore
precedents like Sabo bridge (Hiawatha Ave),
planned Bruce Vento bridge (downtown St.
Paul), Lakeshore Drive bridges (Chicago)
-Work with the Metropolitan Council to
gain designation of the Highway 55 walk/
bike bridge as part of the Regional Bicycle
Transportation Network (RBTN)

GOLDEN VALLEY, MN
CIRCULATION AND ACCESS DESIGN GUIDELINES
Streets and Pathways Network
1. Break down the existing “superblocks” of development in the downtown by creating new street or pathway connections that reduce block sizes and
create a more walkable and bikable downtown.
2. Leverage downtown’s existing street right-of-way corridors and infrastructure investments as part of improving downtown connections in order to
maximize site redevelopment potential and to manage infrastructure costs.
3. Downtown’s streets and pathways network should be expanded to provide convenient, safe, and comfortable connections to the existing bus stops and
future BRT stations.
4. New downtown connections should accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles.
Sidewalks
1. Existing sidewalk gaps along Winnetka Ave, Golden Valley Road, and Wisconsin Ave should be filled in as part of any site or street redevelopment project.
2. Minimize the number of curb cuts on sidewalks.
3. A sidewalk boulevard or buffer zone should be provided between all sidewalks and street traffic in the form of a landscaped boulevard, streetscape
amenities, bike lane, or vehicle parking lane, with a minimum width of 5 feet.
4. Provide an expanded pedestrian zone/sidewalk width to accommodate increased pedestrian traffic levels and allow for the addition of street furnishings,
lighting, plantings, and outdoor restaurant seating.
Walk/Bike Crossings
1. Provide clearly marked walk/bike crossings at all street intersections with reflective painting, special paving materials, light signal, and/or signage alerting
motorists to the walk/bike crossing.
2. Provide curb bump-outs at street intersections, wherever feasible, to shorten walk/bike crossing distances, calm traffic, provide areas for street
furnishings/landscaping, and delineate limits of on-street parking.
3. Utilize pedestrian-activated countdown crossing lights at key signalized intersections.
Trail and Bicycle Facilities
1. Bicycle connections should be incorporated into street and site redevelopment wherever feasible, particularly to provide convenient, safe, and
comfortable connections to trails, parks, Brookview, municipal facilities, businesses, existing bus stops, and future BRT stations.
2. Adding north-south bicycle routes is a priority to improve connectivity in the downtown.
3. Clear separation between bicycle facilities and vehicle traffic should be provided whenever feasible.
4. Explore the potential for incorporating marked bike boxes for bicyclists at signalized intersections.
5. Bicycle parking/storage facilities should be provided at key public and private destinations throughout the downtown.
6. Providing free bicycle maintenance stations (tire pump, tire air gauge, tire levers, tools, etc.) is encouraged along major bicycle routes and at key
downtown destinations.
7. Providing space for expansion of bike sharing facilities (such as Nice Ride) is encouraged at key destinations as street and site redevelopment occurs.
OCTOBER 2021 33
Transit Facilities.
1. Incorporate safe waiting space, seating, shelter, lighting, informational and directional signage, and other pedestrian features at or adjacent to bus stops
as street and site redevelopment occurs.
2. Promote the addition of bus shelters to provide protection from the weather.
3. Explore the potential for incorporating public art into the design of bus shelters to create a unique downtown identity.
4. Coordinate redevelopment proposals with long-term bus transit plans for the downtown, including the future BRT stations at Highway 55/Winnetka Ave.
Lighting
1. Pedestrian-scale street light fixtures should be added along sidewalks in the downtown to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort at night.
2. Light fixtures should be designed to minimize visibility of light bulbs by pedestrians and light pollution in general.
3. Explore the potential for incorporating public art into the design of pedestrian-scale lighting to create a unique downtown identity.
Street Plantings
1. Street trees should be planted at regular intervals appropriate to the root structure and canopy of the tree species chosen.
2. A similar mix of street tree species and spacing should be installed on both sides of the street within a given block.
3. Native tree and plant species should be used, whenever possible, to reduce maintenance, carbon emissions, and the urban heat island effect.
4. Low-maintenance/drought-tolerant plants and trees should be used to reduce irrigation needs; consider allowing exceptions for higher-maintenance
materials in areas with high pedestrian traffic and community gathering spaces.
5. Structural soils should be used where street trees are planted within paved areas, e.g. sidewalks, plazas, and parking lots, to support deep tree root growth
beneath the paved area, and to prevent heaving of sidewalks, plazas, curbs, and gutters.
6. Where businesses face streets, plant materials should be selected that minimize visual obstruction of business storefronts.
7. Flowering plants in hanging baskets or planters should be considered along commercial and mixed-use streets to create a welcoming pedestrian
environment and contribute to the unique identity of the downtown.
8. Plant materials, fencing, or landscape improvements should not encroach into the sight lines of any street intersection or driveway.
9. Use of turf grass should be minimized for planted areas directly adjacent to public streets and spaces.
10. Artificial plant materials should not be used for street plantings.
34 DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN
GOLDEN VALLEY, MN
Street Furnishings
1. Street furnishings should be added that enhance the safety, accessibility, functionality, and comfort of the streetscape.
2. Street furnishings made of durable (recycled when possible), easily maintained/repaired, and locally available materials, should be used whenever
feasible.
3. Street furnishings (benches and seating, trash/recycling receptacles, bollards, bike racks, kiosks, etc.) should be provided at transit stops, plazas, building
entry areas, near Bassett Creek, and along commercial and mixed-use streets.
4. The streetscape features and design along Winnetka Ave should be extended to Golden Valley Road.
Wayfinding Signage
1. A comprehensive wayfinding signage system should be developed for the downtown area. The final design and location of the wayfinding should be
approved as part of the street and site redevelopment process.
2. Wayfinding signage should direct people to key downtown destinations such as the municipal facilities, library, Brookview, Luce Line Regional Trail,
Bassett Creek Trail, and public parking.
3. Wayfinding signage should be designed to accommodate drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
4. Downtown gateway features should be installed at all major downtown entry points.

See separate report “Downtown Phase II Community Input Report”
Downtown Walking/Biking Survey (August/September 2019)
See separate report “Downtown Walk/Bike Connectivity Project Report”
Golden Valley Downtown Phase 3 Survey (Spring 2021)
Highlights of Community Input
• Generally supportive of proposed downtown vision and guiding principles;
-Least support for principle #9 (add new housing and job options)
-Less support for principles #4 (reorganizing civic services and the library), #5 (expand and cluster
commercial uses), and #6 (orientation of buildings and outdoor gathering spaces to major streets)
• Support existing businesses when planning and implementing changes in the downtown
• Adding or improving street crosswalks should prioritize Winnetka Ave, then Highway 55
OCTOBER 2021 45
• Adding or improving walking and biking facilities should prioritize off-street trails and protected
bicycle lanes
• Support for adding off-street trails along Golden Valley Road and Wisconsin Ave
• Adding or improving bicycling connections to the planned BRT stations should prioritize Winnetka
Ave
• Low support for adding new streets in the downtown area
• Concerns about the existing pedestrian bridge over Highway 55, particularly for bicycles
Takeaways from Hennepin County Library Meetings
• No current plans for major investments in current facility
• Undertaking a strategic planning process in 2021 that aims to create a unified vision for library
services and library spaces across the county
• Capital projects are on hold until Strategic Plan is updated
• Interested in potential collaboration with the City, including exploring potential co-location of the
library and city hall
• Interested in seeing multiple visions for the library’s future in downtown Golden Valley
Takeaways from Hennepin County Transportation Meetings
• Focus on safety for all users – drivers, walkers, bicyclists
• Winnetka Ave (CR 156) is part of 2024 pavement overlay program; total reconstruction won’t occur
within next 10 years
• Interest in extending some medians, closing access points on Winnetka Ave
• T-intersections, rather than 4-way intersections, are safer in some situations
• In higher pedestrian activity areas, pedestrian refuge medians allowed on County roadways
• Area traffic study will be needed ultimately as redevelopment occurs
Other Key Stakeholders Involved in Future Downtown Redevelopment and Improvements:
• Property owners
• Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission
• Three Rivers Park District (Luce Line Regional Trail)

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
October 19, 2021
Agenda Item
6. A.First Consideration of Ordinance No. 721, Modifying Solid Waste and Recyclables Collection
Prepared By
Eric Eckman, Environmental Resources Supervisor
Drew Chirpich, Environmental Specialist
Summary
City Code Section 22 allows the City Council to establish regulations for the location of waste and
recycling containers in the City. The existing code requires residents to store containers no more than
three feet from the primary or accessory structure, at all times located behind the front of the primary
structure, and screened from view.
With the City expanding its residential curbside recycling service to include organics collection in 2022,
residents will receive a new container for organics recycling; this is in addition to containers they may
already have for solid waste, mixed recycling, and yard waste. Recognizing that storage of containers
consistent with the existing code may be challenging for residents, staff is requesting that the City
modify its code to provide more flexibility and allow containers to be stored within five feet of a
structure and be visible from the street, as shown in the attached underline/overstrike document.
The proposed changes are consistent with other cities’ codes (Edina implemented organics collection in
2020) and reflect the current storage practices observed by staff in many neighborhoods throughout
the City.
The flexibility in storage options was supported by the community in a 2020 organics recycling survey
and is also supported by the City’s Environmental Commission (see community input report for
details).
The July/August 2021 CityNews included a brief article about waste carts and requested residents
email staff with any comments or questions regarding potential code change. A total of six comments
were received, with some opposed and some in favor of changing the code.
The proposed code modification was prepared with input from the Fire Chief, City Attorney and
Property Maintenance staff. Staff anticipates there will be less complaints, violations, and enforcement
needed if the proposed changes are approved. Staff will monitor the placement of carts and potential
complaints in 2022 and will notify council if additional changes need to be considered.
