<br />5. Buildings should be designed and oriented to promote opportunities for <br />active living, especially non-motorized transportation. <br /> <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />6. Transportation systems, including transit, should provide safe, convenient <br />and affordable access to housing, worksites, schools and community <br />services. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />The above active living principles are based on the principles prepared by the <br />Active Living by Design group (www.activelivinqbvdesiqn.orq). <br /> <br />4.2 Applying Active Living Principles <br /> <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 />goals, policies, and strategies. For example, reconstructing a road in the <br />transportation chapter is related to creating a new pathway in the parks and <br />recreation chapter, which increases opportunities for physical activity and healthy <br />living. <br /> <br />In addition to the goals and policies throughout this Comprehensive Plan, the city <br />seeks to advance the overall active living goat 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 /> <br />DRAFT <br />4/18/2008 <br /> <br />18 <br />
