Hwy 15 can be a freeway, particularly on the west side of Minnetonka Beach (when eastbound traffic exits Navarre and the stoplight). A button-activated flashing light at the west-end crosswalk would create some awareness, and make it much safer for crossing.

we need the same safety measure at the other end of the beach, as well as a left turn lane onto Old County Road. Let's protect our residents and children on both sides of the beach

We are hoping that a side-benefit of this crosswalk will be that left-hand turns from WB Co Rd 15 into Lafayette Rd will be safer. Currently, oncoming traffic on EB Co Rd 15 makes it very dangerous for cars waiting to make that turn.

I would also like to petition we put a flashing light on the crosswalk on the west end, as there have been WAY too many close calls there. People do not think they need to stop and I have 4 kids, I will not allow to cross there ever.

We have a great concern about eastbound traffic when residents are turning right into Lafayette Road. The danger of being rear-ended by traffic channeled into the right lane. Possibly a right turn lane at Lafayette could be created.

We needed this type of thing in the 70's and 80's when I was a kid growing up in the Beach. Traffic and distracted driving certainly hasn't gotten better. Make crossing Co. Rd. 15 safer for our residents!

We really need a safer way to cross 15. Residents and especially kids should be able to walk or bike through our community on both sides of 15.

I am 100% for making the crossing of 15 safer! Anything is safer than what we have now.

This is only the beginning of a partnership with Hennepin County to make County Road 15 safer for both vehicles and pedestrians. Minnetonka Beach Planning Commission also has the goal of connecting the path all the way to the swim beach! Lets make Minnetonka Beach safer!
