participation is allowed by invitation of the City Council.
Executive Summary
Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
July 11, 2017
Agenda Item
1. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update - Transportation
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Staff will update the City Council on the discussion and feedback received at the Comp Plan
Conversation held on July 10, including reaction to the draft Goals and Objectives, the range of
key transportation issues that will be examined in the chapter, and thoughts on the results of the
work of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force.
At its final meeting, the Task Force did vote (8-2) to recommend that the City Council consider
the establishment of a committee to monitor implementation of the bicycle and pedestrian
network improvements. This responsibility would be above and beyond the initial charge of the
Task Force and its formation would require new Council approval.
All Comp Plan elements will be addressed at meetings held throughout the spring and summer:
March – Land Use
April – Land Use (continued)
April – Housing
May – Sustainability and Resilience
June – Water Resources
July – Transportation
August – Parks and Nature Areas
September – Economic Competitiveness

SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
Transportation – 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Comprehensive Plan Conversations – July 10, 2017
Summary
The City engaged the community on the topic of Transportation in a number of different ways:
•Established a Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Task Force to provide in-depth feedback
•Online Wiki-Mapping Tool that enabled residents to map deficiencies and opportunities
•Community survey (via telephone) was conducted with several transportation questions
•Comprehensive Plan kickoff open house was held September 19, 2016
•City solicited online comments on the City website for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update
•Comments and reactions via the Comp Plan In A Box exercise
The general themes that are emerging are:
•A long-term bicycle and pedestrian plan is essential to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
•Improve bicycle and pedestrian connections throughout community, especially major
destinations
•Reduce congestion on key roadways
•Provide safe pedestrian connections and crossings on busy roads, particularly TH 55
•Improve access to future light rail stations
•Increase the number of north-south paths and trails that connect to the Luce Line Regional Trail
•Continue to invest in maintenance and upkeep of transportation infrastructure
•Provide more transit routes with more regular and frequent service
•Enforce traffic speed limits in residential areas where speeding is frequently reported
•Educate the public on bicycle and pedestrian safety, especially when sharing the sidewalks
•Continue and improve winter maintenance on sidewalks and trails in the City
•Build new housing developments along transit corridors and bicycle routes
Comprehensive Plan Kick-Off Open House
As community members arrived at the open house, they were given a set of stickers to use at each
“station” or chapter of the Comp Plan. Stickers were used by attendees to represent the goals that
they feel are most important to them and should be included in the long-term vision for Golden Valley.

Facility Options
city of
golden,
valley
WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS?
The volunteer, or paid on-call, model of firefighting is becoming
unsustainable.
Golden Valley's Fire Department buildings and Police Department
facilities are aging and need repair.
City has used a three -station model for 36 years (two stations close to borders)
Does it still work?
In 2016 the City of Golden Valley commissioned a study of its current fire
staffing and facilities to determine potential solutions.
Results presented in two parts:
Part 1: Staffing (June 2017)
Part 2: Facilities (July 2017)
OBJECTIVES
Develop a long-term sustainable staffing model for the Golden Valley Fire
Department
Four paid on-call firefighters scheduled 24/7
■ Standby paid on-call duty officer and duty chief
Five full-time firefighters (already on staff)
Address infrastructure needs of City's aging Fire Department buildings and
Police Department building
Address long-term space needs for modern police and fire operations
Decrease incident response times
Maintain costs to provide fire service

HISTORY
Started in 1943 with one fire station in
an old shed behind Village Hall
In 1944 a second engine was housed
in a shed at Hwy 55 and Indiana Ave
In 1948, new station at Hwy 100 and
Lindsey St replaced the Hwy 55 and
Indiana Ave station
