TRANSPORTATION VISI�N Roseville shall be a community with a transportation network that effectively serv�s the needs of those who walk, ride, and transport materials throughout the city. This network shoul.d be efficient, minimally polluting, convenient� attractive, and an integral part af our community and its development. We believe in balance. The needs of those who travel by motor vehicle to, within, and through our community must be met, but not at the expense of the env�.ronment or the quality of Iife for local residents.: The needs created by the existing commercial development must be balanced by the needs and desires of nearby residents. Auto, truck, and bus traffic must be facilitated, but should not daminat� to the exclusion of other modes of transportation such as walking ar bicycling. Transpartation concerns must be addressed during the planning stages of any commercial or residential developments undertaken in the fut�are. GOALS Nonmotorized Transt�ortation Rosevil3.e shauld establish an extensive network of nonmotorized pathways for -pedestrians and inexperienced bikers. This network should be continuous, connecting neighborhoods, parks, schools, libraries, and commercial establishments. These pathways should be set apart fram street traffic, have well marked and accessible crossings, and a safe surface which would be maintained year around. In conjunction with this system, bike arteries for exgerienced cyclists should be developed in cooperatian with the surrounding communities, Ramsey County, and the State. These bikeways should also be continuaus, connecting with actual or proposed and approved ba.keways in adjacent communities, and be designed and bui�t to conform to national standards. - Update and reaffirm Roseville's current nonmotorized pathway plan. - Consider construction of nonmotorized pathways when streets or parking lots are designed or improved. - Review and incorporate the materials on bikeways from Boulder, Colorado and the paper by "Friends of Parks and Trails in St. Paui and Ramsey County" when designing the nonmotorized pathway network.
