<br />City of Arden Hills - Comprehensive Plan - DRAFT <br /> <br />11. TRANSPORTATION <br /> <br />Goal: Provide a transportation system that has convenient and effective multi- <br />modal connections within Arden Hills and to adjacent municipalities, the <br />remainder of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area and greater Minnesota. <br /> <br />To achieve this transportation goal, the following policies are proposed: <br />o Approach transportation in a comprehensive manner by giving attention to <br />all travel modes and related facilities, linking transit and land use and by <br />combining or concentrating various land use activities to reduce the need <br />for transportation facilities. <br />o Coordinate transportation plans with adjacent communities and the <br />County, State, and Federal governments to assure system continuity, <br />determine priorities, increase safety, and to efficiently use resources and <br />reduce congestion. <br />o Create/provide a safe, cost effective, and efficient transportation system <br />that is adequate for car, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and truck <br />transportation for the movement of people and goods and services in the <br />community. <br />o Encouraqes transportation methods that are less dependent on motor <br />vehicles such as walkinq, bikinq, and transit. <br />Q..jI;1aintain the existing transportation infrastructure to protect the existing <br />investments, increase efficiency, and delay the need for improvement or <br />expansion.

Except for <br />the proposed TCMP 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.
