Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Transportation system stewardship: Sustainable investments in the transportation system <br />are protected by strategically preserving, maintaining, and operating system assets. <br />Safety and Security: The regional transportation system is safe and secure for all users. <br />Access to Destinations: People and businesses prosper by using a reliable, affordable, and <br />efficient multimodal transportation system that connects them to destinations throughout <br />the region and beyond. <br />Competitive Economy: The regional transportation system supports the economic <br />competitiveness, vitality, and prosperity of the region and State. <br />Healthy Environment: The regional transportation system advances equity and contributes <br />while protecting the natural, cultural, and <br />developed environments. <br />Leveraging Transportation Investment to Guide Land Use: The region leverages <br />transportation investments to guide land use and development patterns that advance the <br />regional vision of stewardship, prosperity, livability, equity, and sustainability. <br />Funding is a key constraint that is acknowledged in the TPP. Current transportation revenue will <br />rough 2040. As a result, the TPP includes two <br />long-term investment scenarios: a fiscally-constrained scenario that identifies projects <br />anticipated to be funded based on current revenue projections, and an increased revenue <br />scenario that identifies project priorities should additional transportation funding become <br />available. <br />Under the current revenue scenario, the TPP is focused on operations and maintenance of the <br />existing transportation system. Investments in highway mobility and access are limited to those <br />projects that address multiple TPP goals and objectives. The increased revenue scenario would <br />allow additional investments in operations and maintenance, as well as regional mobility, access, <br />safety, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. However, congestion cannot be greatly reduced <br />under even the increased revenue scenario. Under both scenarios, proposed investments are <br />focused on areas of the metro with the greatest existing and future challenges and anticipated <br />growth. <br />The Metropolitan Council classifies Centerville under the Emerging Suburban Edge Community <br />Designation. Based on Thrive MSP 2040, Emerging Suburban Edge areas are expected to plan <br />for forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least three to five <br />units per acre for new development and redevelopment. These communities are also expected <br />to target opportunities for more intensive development near regional transit investments when <br />available. <br /> <br /> Page 72 <br /> <br /> <br />
