<br />. <br /> <br />network, Subdivisions of varying sizes with housing built during three- to five-year timeframe <br />and now experiencing similar maintenance and remodeling issues, <br /> <br />Pedestrian and transit connections in these types of developments are poor. Pedestrians in retail <br />developments often must walk long distances across inhospitable parking lots; freestanding <br />commercial structures are frequently designed to discourage pedestrian movement between <br />buildings; and transit service facilities and amenities are typically Spartan, if they exist at all, <br />Most housing subdivisions lack sidewalks and have only a limited number of access points to <br />collectors, And transit services are limited due to low density development and a poorly <br />connected road network, <br /> <br />Coalition communities are beginning to address the lack of these connections through a variety <br />of strategies. <br />. Shoreview is developing an extensive internal trail system to link amenities and activity <br />centers, <br />. Roseville development and redevelopment requirements set aside funding for on-site <br />transit amenities, <br />. Circle Pines is planning the redevelopment of its town center with an emphasis on <br />pedestrian and bicycle movement. <br />. Mounds View is exploring how it can support its large residential base and reinvest in <br />residential areas in need of redevelopment while, at the same time, reconnecting and <br />enhancing its open space and parks systems and trails, <br />. Arden Hills and New Brighton are working cooperatively to convert a railroad bridge <br />. over 1-35W into a trail link between two regional parks, <br /> <br />13. HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT AND TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIONS (1 page <br />or less) <br />Describe transit connections from the proposed project to local or regional employment <br />centers. Describe how your project could improve connections with respect to housing, <br />employment and transportation between the project area and the subregion or region, <br /> <br />Listed below are several potential outcomes from a smart growth build-out study for inner-ring <br />and developing cities. <br /> <br />. Cooperate with Metropolitan Council to site and co-develop subregionaV and regional <br />facilities, <br />Examples: Explore the feasibility ofredeveloping CR 10 Triangle into mixed-use <br />center with transit facilities; facilitate the conversion of the BNSF rail line to a <br />transit corridor. <br />. Develop fine-grained connections that sustain the regional system, <br />Examples: Facilitate collaborative planning process for the revitalization of <br />County Road D and West Lake Johanna; develop a best environmental practices <br />handbook for industrial sites, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13 <br />
