Supplemental Facilities Bicycle and pedestrian facilities include more than justthe paths themselves. Secure and appropriate bicycle parking and locker facilities, comprehensive maps of Roseville's pathway network, mass transit integration, rest areas, and trailheads are key components of a complete pathway network. Roseville has few supplemental facilities for pathway users. They consist mostly of: A) Bicycle parking and lockers • bike racks of obsolete design that are sporadically placed in some parks and public buildings • occasional bike racks located at commercial buildings • few if any, bike lockers • current city code does not address the issues of bicycle parking. B) Pathways Map • comprehensive pathways map showing all types of facilities within the City • partnering with Active Living Ramsey County on developing a comprehensive County pathway map. C) Trail Heads and Rest Area • utilizes existing parks w/ restrooms, picnic areas, recreational areas, drinking fountains • need intermittent rest stops with benches between destinations D) Transit Accommodations • abundant transit opportunities • limited and often unsafe light traffic access to transit stops and park and rides • bus shelters at bus stops along high traffic roads • bus benches at many bus stops Current Operation & Maintenance Practices Off -Road Pathways The City's maintenance staff has the responsibility of making sure routine maintenance operations are completed.
