Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: September 24, 2013 Item No: 5 Item Description: Pathway Master Plan Build- out Discussion 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. They have asked that the Public Works Commission review the plan and make recommendations. To achieve this goal, the Commission has discussed the build -out plan at their April, June, July and August meetings. The Commission decided to re rank the pathway segments for the September meeting due to differences in ranking methodology. In preparation for the September meeting, staff sent out a pathway segment priority table to the commission members on Wednesday, August 28. The Commission was asked to rank the segments with a score from 1 -5 with one being the highest priority, and 5 being the lowest. The Commission's priority table results are attached. Not all rankings were back by packet time so staff will provide an updated table if we receive more rankings prior to the meeting. The City's Pathway master plan, including the pathway priority segments and maps, is located at: www.ci.roseville.mn.US/Pathways Recommended Action: Provide a recommendation to the City Council for the Pathway Master Plan Build -out.
