City of Arden Hills- Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> for roadway maintenance and reconstruction, street widening/realignment, <br /> etc. <br /> o Update the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances consistent with the <br /> Transportation Plan. <br /> o Require right-of-way dedication along county and local roads to meet <br /> future capacity needs as redevelopment is proposed. <br /> o Work with developers to construct needed improvements prior to <br /> development. <br /> o Establish a policy outlining when a traffic impact study should be <br /> conducted, including acceptable information to be contained within the <br /> study. <br /> o Work to enhance safety at all intersections. <br /> 11.1 Introduction <br /> The transportation system in the City of Arden Hills is established, made up of <br /> metropolitan freeways and highways, County roads, and City streets. Except for <br /> the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, the City's transportation system is not likely <br /> to see major changes in the next 10 to 20 years. The fact that the network is <br /> established, however, does not diminish the importance of continually monitoring <br /> the system to ensure that it performs adequately. As such, whether an existing <br /> roadway is proposed for upgrading or a land use change is proposed on a <br /> property, this plan provides the framework for decisions regarding the nature of <br /> roadway infrastructure improvements necessary to achieve safety, adequate <br /> access, mobility, and performance of the existing and future roadway system. <br /> This Plan includes established local goals, policies, standards, and guidelines to <br /> implement a future roadway network and transit vision that is coordinated with <br /> respect to county, regional, and state plans in such a way that the transportation <br /> system enhances quality economic and residential development within the City of <br /> Arden Hills. <br /> 11.2 Existing Transportation System Evaluation <br /> The transportation system in Arden Hills includes a roadway system that <br /> accommodates a variety of vehicles including cars, trucks, and public transit. <br /> Transportation also includes pedestrian movement and bicycles, which is also <br /> discussed in Chapter 9 (Park & Recreation) of this Plan. While upgrades will need to <br /> be made over time, the existing motorized transportation system within the City of <br /> Arden Hills currently provides sufficient transportation service to the City. <br /> DRAFT 70 <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
