�ON�MOTORIZED TRANBPORTATION Goal: Rosev�lle should establish an extensive network of non-motorized pathways for pedestrians and inexperienced bikers. This network should be continuous, connecting neiqhborhoods, parks, schools, �i��aries, and ��mmer4�u� estu�lishment�. These pathwa}•� shcul� be set apart from street traffic, have weTl-marked and accessible crossings, and a safe surface which would be maintained year around. In conjunction with this system, bike arteries for experienced cyclists should be developed in cooperation with the surrounding communities, Ramsey Caunty, and the State. These bikeways should also be continuous, connecting with actual or proposed and approved bikeways in adjacent communities, and be designed and built to conform to nationai standards.
