Thanks for the questions. That was not related to the City's Interchange Project. We were unaware of those lanes closures until this morning also. Our understanding is that those were short term and not affecting traffic now. Thanks

Thanks for the questions. Access to Vernon Ave and 50th Street are open from Highway 100. They will most likely be open until late summer or fall with some short term or weekend closures. Thanks
Share Can you get rid of some of these roads and bridges completely. Don't need two bridges and 2 roads to get to 50th street from the other side and 4 ways to get to an apartment building. It would clean up the town to just remove them. There is way to many roads and intersections and ways to get to the same place in one compact spot on both sides of 50th ave bridges that are at worst redundant and causes more traffic. Can you block off & remove roads that aren't actually needed instead. Too many lights. Learn round abouts. Would fix some traffic problems.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I will kindly disagree that we don't need the existing road network and number of east-west connections. Multiple traffic studies have suggested otherwise. Thanks.
Share Can we get lights and a crossing button on Interlachen Blvd and Vandervork Ave? Children go to the park for activities and the playground. Traffic has increased due to construction as people are using the neighborhoods to avoid closures. In addition, cars moving east are going uphill and do not always see the crossing. on Facebook

Thanks for the note and understand the concern. We will review that request with the traffic safety committee. Please note that adding flashing lights takes way more time than you think if approved. Procuring the materials and installation can take months. I'm going to guess that this intersection probably won't qualify for those but we will review. Thanks

Thanks for the note. I'm not sure I understand the exact location. The traffic signal at the top of the southbound off-ramp from Hwy 100 at Vernon Ave / 50th St will be removed and replaced as part of this project. The removal of the signal will occur soon. The traffic signal at Interlachen and Vernon will also be removed and replaced. A new traffic signal will be installed on the east side of the new Hwy100 bridge. Thanks
Share the grandview neighborhood (everything south of eden avenue, east of vernon, and west of the railroad tracks) has one exit route from the neighborhood - Eden Avenue. We cannot take any alternate route around the construction without first exiting the neighborhood at Eden Avenue.
Routing all traffic for this project down eden avenue creates a significant challenge for the 100's of families living in that neighborhood, as well as the 100s of people using the library, senior center and office building. Most of the time (definitely not all of the time) traffic traveling east on Eden is "polite" and enables cars and pedestrians to cross, but north bound traffic is less so. During construction, while you are routing all traffic down Eden Avenue, a "4-way" stop at grandview square and eden avenue would help ensure safety as cars and people attempt to exit the neighborhood. Prior to construction It was already challenging to exit grandview neighborhood, with cars speeding east as they came off of Vernon and around the eden avenue curve (even more so as a pedestrian).
One additional observation - there are 2 very large stop signs as cars come off of hwy 100 and proceed over vernon - despite no cross traffic.
I posted another question regarding placing stop signs at Acadia and the off ramp. If stop signs are warranted at hwy 100 and vernon for (presumably) construction vehicles, then they are surely more than warranted at the two locales I've requested to aid in the equitable flow of traffic for those most impacted by the construction project - the Grandview neighborhood. Appreciate the consideration. on Facebook

Thanks for the question. We have been monitoring that intersection. On May 9, Stage 2A traffic control will begin that will shrink the Interlachen & Vernon Intersection and close Gus Young to thru traffic. Traffic will be free flowing between Interlachen and Vernon requiring all traffic to follow the posted detour. This will reduce the amount of traffic impacting the Hwy100 off-ramp at Arcadia. Thanks.
Share Hello, I live near Interlachen and Vernon. I take the reroute on Interlachen straight towards Edina Liquor multiple times per day. I think you need to change or cover the original turn lane signs so that people understand you cannot be in the far right lane and go straight. There have been countless near accidents due to this confusion. Thank you!
