Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: April 23, 2013 Item Description: Pathway Master Plan and NRATS Committee Update Item No: 6 Background: The City's Pathway Master Plan was first developed in 1975 and has been updated a number of times in the last 38 years. The most recent update was in 2008. This plan is the result of input from a City Council appointed volunteer advisory committee that worked with staff to develop a comprehensive vision for non - motorized transportation needs throughout the City. The advisory committee was made up of fourteen Roseville residents and three staff members. A citizen survey conducted as a part of the Parks Master Planning Process indicates that the residents of Roseville rank pathways, sidewalks and trails as a high priority in the community and are interested in pursuing the expansion of the system focusing on creating improved linkages and connections. One of the 2013 City Council goals is to develop a Pathway Master Plan Build -out Plan for the list of priority pathway segments included in the 2008 plan. In late 2012, the Natural Resources and Trails (NRATs) Committee was formed consisting of members of the Parks and Recreation Commission, PWETC, and staff. The members: Randall Doneen, Jim DeBenedet, Steve Gjerdingen, Mary Grundman, Mary Holt, Jan Vanderwall, Nolan Wall, Jeff Evenson, and Deb Bloom. The purpose of this committee is to identify pathway and natural resource projects to be constructed in conjunction with the Park Renewal Program. This program includes $2 million for the construction of pathways. Attached is the list of NRATs priority pathways identified for construction. The next step is to develop a priority list of projects for the remaining Master Plan priority segments. Commissioner DeBenedet put together the attached priority table that sorts the segments according to scores. Commissioner Gjerdingen put together the attached consolidated Master plan table, an effort to link the Pathway Master Plan and the Parks Master Plan. The City's Pathway master plan, including the pathway priority segments and maps, is located at: www.ci.roseville.mn.us /nathways Recommended Action: Discuss process to move forward with Pathway Master Plan Build -out Plan Attachments: A.
