Meeting Minutes Project: I-29 Exit 77 (41st Street) Interchange Study and Environmental Assessment

Subject: I-29 to Marion Road Landowners

Date: Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Location: Kuehn Community Center

Attendees: Jay Titus – SF Fire and Rescue Lee Knigge –Ligge Co. LLC (homeowner) Dory Winford – Homeowner Marlene Olivier – Homeowner Drew Nielsen – Nielsen Building Robert Miller – Perkins Restaurant

Gary Kuhn – Perkins Restaurant Greg Heine – Mount Marty College Vick Patel – Flowerama Shannon Ausen – City of Sioux Falls Travis Dressen - SDDOT Jason Kjenstad, James Unruh (HDR)

Attachments: 1 PowerPoint slides reviewed at the meeting 2 41st Street crash location graphics 3 41st Street Alternatives A, B, and C 4 Meeting sign in sheets

1. Introduction and overview items by Jason Kjenstad 1.1 PowerPoint slides of I-29/41st Street overall project 1.2 Animation of Diverging Diamond interchange 1.3 Video of 57th Street/Western Avenue traffic with u-turn movements 1.4 Review of 41st Street crash graphics for intersections and segments; Jason noted

that the high crash rates, especially rear end collisions, are generally the result of traffic backups and congestion.

2. Discussion items 2.1 Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue – The proposed raised median for Alternatives A and

B needs a depressed section to allow for fire truck access across the median from the fire station to eastbound 41st Street. Follow-up: Jay Titus will provide turning templates for the fire trucks used at that station and HDR will look at incorporating a section of depressed median into the applicable alternatives.

2.2 Flowerama Vick Patel purchased the property since the 2012 Corridor Study. The

previous owner said nothing about the potential acquisition of the property for 41st Street or Marion Road widening.

Vick asked why only the Flowerama property would be acquired. The response was that the south side of 41st Street was the only place where space was available for widening; widening 41st Street to the north would require acquisition of multiple homes and apartment buildings.

Vick’s main concern was notification of tenants about the potential acquisition. Follow-up: Vick will meet with City staff as the project moves forward to

discuss the acquisition process.

2.3 North side homeowners – Their main concern was if there would be impacts to the existing privacy fences and trees. The response was that the existing north edge of sidewalk will generally be left where it is now or moved a maximum of 1’ to 2’ so there should be minimal disturbance to fences and trees. Any items impacted by construction would be replaced in kind.

2.4 Mount Marty College (MMC) Greg Heine stated that MMC has expansion plans within their building for

additional students. He recommended a 3/4 movement allowance on 41st Street at a combined

Godfathers Pizza/MMC driveway. He did not consider that access to MMC from Terry Avenue and 43rd Street for

westbound 41st Street traffic would be adequate.

2.5 Perkins Restaurant Robert Miller is concerned about the raised median of Alternatives A and B.

He considers that this will reduce access (and thereby customers) at this Perkins Restaurant because of his recent experience at his Cliff Avenue/I-90 Perkins site.

Miller prefers a signal at the 41st Street/Madelyn Avenue intersection rather than at the 41st Street/Terry Avenue intersection. The response was that Terry Avenue is a better location for a signal because: o Terry Avenue is about midway between Marion Road and I-29. o Terry Avenue is much more of a north-south through route than Madelyn

Avenue/Gateway Boulevard. Miller claimed that most of his customers come from the area west of I-29 with

Saturday and Sunday mornings being the peak periods. At that time, traffic on 41st Street is not a problem and his customer base would not want to use the Terry Avenue/Gateway Boulevard route to leave Perkins as required for Alternatives A or B.

Follow-up: The City will check for available traffic counts on Terry Avenue.

3. Next Steps 3.1 Comments from landowner meetings will be reviewed to determine how they can

best be addressed.

3.2 A preferred alternative will be recommended by the project team.

3.3 Another set of landowner and public meetings will be held to get feedback on the recommended preferred alternative.

Environmental Assessment

• We developed alternatives in the 2011/2012 Corridor Study.

• We can add more alternatives, if necessary.
