City of Arden Hills-Comprehensive Plan- DRAFT <br /> 5. Buildings should be designed and oriented to promote opportunities for <br /> active living, especially non-motorized transportation. <br /> 6. Transportation systems, including transit, should provide safe, convenient <br /> and affordable access to housing, worksites, schools and community <br /> services. <br /> 7. Parks and green space, including pathways, should be safe, accessible and <br /> part of a transportation network that connects destinations of interest, such <br /> as housing, worksites, schools, community services and other places with <br /> high population density. <br /> 8. Municipalities and other governing bodies should plan for ongoing <br /> interdisciplinary collaboration, promotion of facilities, behavioral supports, <br /> policies that institutionalize the vision of active living, and routine <br /> maintenance that ensures continued safety, quality and attractiveness of the <br /> physical infrastructure. <br /> 9. Community governing and planning processes should address the multiple <br /> impacts of the built environment and transportation choices on residents` <br /> ability to be physically active. <br /> The above active living principles are based on the principles prepared by the <br /> Active Living by Design group (www.activelivingbydesign.ora). <br /> 4.2 Applying Active Living Principles <br /> This chapter in and of itself does not encompass all of the goals or policies <br /> related to the active living movement. Where applicable, active living principles <br /> have been incorporated throughout this Plan to encourage coordination between <br /> activities. For example, reconstructing a road in the transportation chapter is <br /> related to creating a new pathway in the parks and recreation chapter, which <br /> increases opportunities for physical activity and healthy living. <br /> In addition to the goals and policies throughout this Comprehensive Plan, the city <br /> seeks to advance the overall active living goal with the following additional <br /> policies: <br /> o Incorporate active living principles into City regulations, new <br /> developments, and redevelopments where feasible. <br /> o Consider active living principles when evaluating new policies, <br /> procedures, and proposals. <br /> DRAFT 16 <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
