of Arden Hills - Comorehensive Plan - DRAFT <br />o Cooperate on a regional level in planning and development of a <br />transportation system, including future transit services, by coordinating <br />efforts with multiple jurisdictions, public and private transit providers and <br />agencies at all government levels, while serving the functional needs of <br />all. <br />o Work at the local, state, and regional levels to reduce traffic congestion <br />and safety concerns on regional transportation corridors. <br />o Maintain a Capital Improvement Plan that contains elements for <br />reconstruction of the roadway system, with scheduled maintenance <br />included in annual budgets. Street maintenance should include routine <br />patching, crack filling, and storm sewer cleaning. Implement a schedule <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 the 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 />DRAFT 53 <br />2/22/2008 <br />
