Public Engagement Process Summary
Feedback was obtained in many ways in the first round of engagement.
Open House Attendance & Activities: Nearly 60 people signed in to the Open House on Wednesday, March 13.
These sixty attendees participated in three in-person activities.
Comment Cards & Emails: 35 comment cards were filled out at the Open House, and some comments were
emailed to staff after the event. The vast majority this feedback was in support of changes to the corridor; 3
notes were in opposition of change.
Online Feedback Map: Nearly 250 pieces of feedback (such as experiences, likes or dislikes of comments, and
identifiation of key destinations) were captured via the Online Feedback Map. 86 users logged in to the map by
providing their emails.
Results Summary
The map below shows where each of the comments were in the corridor by mode. The comments were split evenly
between the three modes, and concentrations of comments occurr at Troy Lane and Meadow Ridge Elementary, at
Egan Dog Park and Dunkirk Lane, Cheshire Parkway, Dallas Lane & Annapolis Lane, and Yucca Lane.
From the first round of public engagement, there is strong support for the following:
Sidewalks & a trail along County Road 47
Reduced vehicle speeds (with support for a lower speed limit)
Increased sight distances and visibility for all users (as it relates to both horizontal and vertical curves)
Elimination of the bypass lanes and/or untraditional turn lanes on the east end of the corridor

Detailed Results
The comments received in the first round of engagement can be grouped into three overall categories, with
subcategories in each:
Missing sidewalks or trails, uncomfortable pedestrian crossings, and vehicle speeds were the most common messages.

Missing Infrastructure Feedback
Sidewalk, wide shoulder, and/or trail for pedestrian and bike users is noted as missing throughout
More frequent pedestrian crossings desired on the west end of the corridor
Currently Lawndale Lane and Vicksburg Lane are the only intersections with marked crossings on that
section
Several people suggested that a crossing and/or infrastructure to bicycle or walk to Meadow Ridge Elementary
school would be utilized
The narrow bridge deck west of the Plymouth Dog Park makes walking along CR 47 to the park challenging

Roadway Design & Operational Feedback
The most frequently noted locations had uncomfortable existing pedestrian crossings coupled with visibility
and/or speed issues:
Troy Lane: Several comments described challenges turning to and from Troy Lane due to curvature & speeds
of vehicles on County Road 47. Pedestrians don’t like crossing here due to the high speeds of vehicles.
Plymouth Dog Park: A narrow bridge deck makes walking along CR 47 challenging and makes it hard to see
pedestrians crossing to the park. This crossing was noted as uncomfortable due to vehicle speeds.
Dunkirk Lane: several comments noted a trend of rolled vehicles. Pedestrian crossing made challenging by
limited sight distances along curves and high speeds of vehicles.
Cheshire Parkway: comments were mostly regarding trail connectivity, bicycle accommodations, and speeds
of vehicles
Dallas Lane: Several comments noted that drivers disregard the pedestrian flashers or are required to come
to very sudden stops when they did notice pedestrians in the crosswalk. Most comments are regarding
speed of vehicles approaching crosswalk.
Yucca Lane: Several comments described challenges turning onto County Road 47 from Yucca Lane, and
there were similar comments to Dallas Lane, where drivers are not yielding the right of way to pedestrians.
There were double threat scenarios identified at Yucca (when drivers use the turning lanes as bypass lanes).
Page 11

Operational Challenges Feedback
Vehicle speeds are noted as too fast throughout the corridor, and turning is a challenge, but for different
reasons depending on location:
On the west side of the corridor: Vehicle speeds were noted as a challenge for other vehicles to make turns.
These challenges were due to a combination of vehicle speeds and limited visibility. Troy Lane is a primary
concentration of these comments.
On the east side of the corridor: Vehicle speeds were noted as a challenge for pedestrians to cross County
Road 47 and for vehicles to make turns. On the east side of the corridor, there were more comments
regarding limited gaps in traffic, coupled with speed and some visibility issues. These comments were
concentrated around Dallas Lane.
Vehicles experience back-pressure turning off County Road 47 throughout the corridor.

Dog owners reminded of leash law, pet ordinances
Plymouth, Minn. – For the health and safety of the community, Plymouth city staff remind dog owners
of the city’s leash law and pet ordinances.
Owners Must Clean up After Their Pets
Pet owners must clean up after their pets. Before leaving the house to take an animal for a walk, pet
owners should be sure to bring a bag along for proper disposal of pet waste.
When pet waste is left behind, rainwater washes it into lakes and streams. Because the waste contains
harmful bacteria, it pollutes water bodies and can cause illness. It also breaks down differently than wild
animal waste, as it contains excess nutrients – which may cause algae blooms in lakes and streams.
Dogs Must be Leashed at All Times
City of Plymouth ordinances require pets to be leashed at all times, except when on their owner’s
private property.
The ordinance protects animals and people alike. No matter how well-trained they are, unrestrained
animals are at increased risk of being injured by vehicles or other animals in the area. People can be
injured when a typically friendly pet becomes unexpectedly aggressive or suddenly enters the path of a
bicyclist, pedestrian or motorist.
If a dog is observed without a leash where not allowed, the animal’s owner can be cited with a
misdemeanor and fine of up to $128. Those responsible for unrestrained animals are also liable for their
animal’s actions.
Call 911 to Report Violations, Concerns
For the safety of the community, residents who observe violations of the above animal ordinances or
any other public safety concerns are encouraged to call 911 immediately so that a community service
officer or police officer can respond.
Let Dogs Run Free at Dog Parks
Dog owners have the opportunity to let dogs play unleashed at the city’s designated dog parks, which
feature a number of canine-friendly amenities.

Revised plan for wooded neighborhood
wins approval from Plymouth Planning
Commission
By Dylan Thomas – Staff reporter, Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal
Apr 4, 2019, 5:00pm EDT
Nearly eight months after concerns about density and tree removal prompted the
Plymouth Planning Commission to reject plans for nearly 50 single-family lots in the
Timbers Edge subdivision, a revised plan won the commission’s approval on
Wednesday.
Reduced to 40 lots from the 47 lots proposed last year, the subdivision is planned for an
18-acre site located just west of Hollydale Golf Course across Holly Lane. Plymouth-
based Bergeron Homes & Development is targeting the subdivision’s villa-style single-
family homes to empty nesters who would rather leave lawn care and snow removal to
the homeowner’s association.
A previous version of Bergeron’s plan was rejected 5-2 by Planning Commission
members in August.
That earlier version of Timbers Edge raised concerns from neighbors and commission
members over tree removal, traffic, density, storm-water drainage and traffic. The
revised plan for the subdivision preserves roughly half of the tree cover on the heavily
wooded site, which also features several wetlands, including one of “exceptional
quality,” according to a staff report.
Bergeron is requesting planned unit development zoning on the site, which allows for
slightly smaller lots and typical single-family residential zoning. Sideyard setbacks
would be reduced to seven feet, meaning some adjacent homes would be just 14 feet
apart.
“These lot widths would be similar to other recently approved villa-style subdivisions in
Plymouth, and also more trees are able to be preserved under this PUD layout,”
explained Kip Berglund, a Plymouth city planner.
Page 21
Berglund said the developer also conducted two traffic studies that indicated nearby
roads should be able to handle the additional traffic. When fully built, the subdivision
would add about 100 to 150 trips daily on Old Rockford Road, a 3.5-mile two-lane road
south of the site that connects Highway 55 and Rockford Road, according to the studies.
Michael Bergeron of Bergeron Homes & Development told the Planning Commission
that, if approved, the development would be built-out in two phases over several years.
They would likely begin work on 20 lots this year and put up three to four model homes,
Bergeron said.
Timbers Edge is scheduled to go before the Plymouth City Council on April 23. The
council will be asked to approve the plan for the development, a rezoning of the site and
a preliminary plat for the 40 residential lots.
