<br />City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />will need to be evaluated on a yearly basis to measure progress and to adjust <br />the list with changing circumstances and priorities. A fully functioning and <br />complete park and pathway system adds to the attractiveness of the City and to <br />the values of all property owners. Creating a project list each year will also help <br />the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee focus on implementing high priority <br />projects. <br /> <br /> <br />While a long-term priority list will help the City in the decision making process <br />and help plan for future expenses, the list must be flexible. As new projects, <br />needs, and opportunities arise, it may be necessary to adjust the list to take <br />advantage of opportunities that may not yet be known. A priority list will require <br />City Council and PTRC discussion and cooperation. <br /> <br />9.6.2 Partnerships <br /> <br />MNDOT & Ramsey County Transportation - The City should work with MnDOT <br />and Ramsey County Transportation to make sure that pathway additions and <br />crossings are in their transportation master plans, included in reconstruction <br />projects, and are a priority for funding and implementation in their capital <br />improvement plans (CIP). <br /> <br />Ramsey County Parks - The City should work with Ramsey County to continue <br />implementation on the Tony Schmidt Master Plan, the Rice Creek trail system, <br />and other regional park and trail projects that connect to or impact Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Mounds View School District - The City has an opportunity to work with the <br />school district and the two facilities in Arden Hills to increase trail access to the <br />schools, promote safe routes to school, and increase youth physical activity. <br /> <br />Bethel University and Northwestern College - Both of these campuses have <br />trails that can be accessed by the public. The City should work with these <br />organizations to ensure continued access to these trails and to make <br />connections with City trails. <br /> <br />Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCMP) - This unprecedented development <br />in Arden Hills offers an opportunity to greatly expand the City's park and pathway <br />network. The City must continue to work with the developers to ensure a park <br />and pathway system is constructed that meets the needs of current and future <br />residents. <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />4/18/2008 <br /> <br />60 <br />
