' Y` 1� 1 o T S P O I t T�' I' I O l� i ��O1�T Roseville shall be a community with a transportation network that effectively serves the nccds of those who walk, ride, and transport materials throughout the city. This network should be efficient, minimally polluting, convenient, attractive, and an integral part of our cominunity and its development. We belie�e 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 environment or the quality of life for local residents. The needs created by the existing commercial developrnent must be balanced by the needs and desires of nearby residents. Auto, truck, and bus traffic must be facilitated, but shouid nat dominate to the exclusion of other modes of transportation such as walking or 6icycling. Transportation concerns must be addressed during the planning stages of any commercial or residential developments undertaken in thc future. Go�.s Non-�notorized Transportation Roseville should establish an extensive network of non-moiorized pathways for pedestrians and inexperienced bikers. This network should be continuous, connecting neighborhoods, parks, schools, libra�ries, and commercial establishments. These pathways should be set apart from 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 experienced cyciists should be developed in cooperation with lhe surrounding communities, Ramsey County, and the State. These bikeways should also be continuous, connecting with actual or proposed and approved bikeways in ad3acent communities, and be designed and built to conform to national standards. o Updale and reafitrm Roseville's current no�i-rriotorized pathway plan. o Consider construction of nati-inotorized pathways wlleii streets or pat•king lots are designed or improved. o Review and incorporatc the materials on bikeways from Boulder, Colorado and the paper by "Friends of Parks and Trails i►a St. Pau[ and Ramscy County" when designing tl�e non- motorized pathway network. o Tncorparate design standards from the American Association of �iate f iighway and Transportation manual, "Guide for Development of New Bicycle Facilities in 1981 ". o Agree to acquirc land and build structures where necessary io eliminate gaps and barriers iz1 t11c interests of pedestrian and bilce safety. o Develop safe bicycle and pedestrian rnovement within and around major parking areas, together with safe and continuous access around, between, and axxr�ong the major shopping centers of Har Mar, Rosedale, and all the Rosedale satellites, as well as other shopping areas in Roseville. o Design E�atli�vays re�l�ovcd ti�om heavily ti°aveled streefs, but only if it can bc dorie witlloL�t sacriticing personal security. o Increase attention to street crossinbs with proper i��arking, lighling, and sig��als, i�.ICl�tding provisions for tl�e slower ►�lovemcnt of the handicapped. o San turns on red when required to assure the safety of pedestrians.
