City of Arden Hills - 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> Finally, in the northeast corner of the redevelopment area, 76.5 acres have been <br /> designated for an undetermined public use. This area is likely to include some <br /> type of regional athletic use, though an exact use has not been determined. <br /> Because this area is separated from the rest of the TCAAP redevelopment area <br /> by the wildlife corridor to the south and National Guard property to the north, <br /> access to this public area has yet to be determined. Access may be provided for <br /> vehicles from County Road I and by pedestrian/bike paths through the wildlife <br /> corridor. How this property will be accessed has not been determined but will <br /> need to be addressed. <br /> 9.5 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES <br /> 9.5.1 Priority Setting <br /> One tool to advance this chapter is to create a flexible priority list for <br /> improvements and expansions. With the priorities laid out, the City would be <br /> able better able to assess fund balances and make informed spending decisions <br /> and coordinate improvements with other projects such as road improvements. <br /> The priority list will need to be regularly evaluated to measure progress and to <br /> adjust the list to accommodate funding availability, changing circumstances, and <br /> changing priorities. A fully functioning and complete park and pathway system <br /> adds to the attractiveness of the City and to the values of property owners. <br /> While a long-term priority list will help the City in the decision making process <br /> and help plan for future expenses, the list must be flexible. As new local and <br /> regional projects, needs, and opportunities arise, it may be necessary to adjust <br /> the list to take advantage of opportunities that may not yet be known. <br /> 9.5.2 Partnerships <br /> Developing partnerships with other public and private organizations is an <br /> important tool for implementing this and other chapters of the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. With scarce resources and increasing demands, searching for <br /> partnerships to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and expand services is <br /> necessary. Working with adjacent cities, the Metropolitan Council, Ramsey <br /> County, businesses, school districts, higher education institutions, and other <br /> stakeholders may lead to better and more efficient implementation of this <br /> Chapter. <br /> MNDOT & Ramsey County Transportation — Coordinating with MnDOT and <br /> Ramsey County Public Works will help ensure that pathway additions and <br /> Approved: September 28, 2009 <br /> 9-13 <br />
