Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: November 26, 2013 Item No: 5 Item Description: Pathway Master Plan Build- out Discussion Background: The Commission received considerable comment from the County Road B neighborhood west of Cleveland Avenue at the October meeting. Concerns identified were pedestrian safety due to lack of facilities and speeding of vehicles. Staff will give an update on the speeding issue and other City Council discussion regarding this area at the meeting. 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 joint City Council and PWETC 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, August, and September, and October meetings. The Commission decided to re rank the pathway segments for the September meeting due to differences in ranking methodology. 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 member's rankings were compiled and averaged to create a prioritized list of pathway segments. The rankings were discussed at the September meeting and the Commission requested a revised table with reflecting the Commission's discussion be brought back for a final discussion at the October meeting. We have included this information in this month's packet. The Commission's priority ranking table is attached. Let staff know if something was missed so it can be updated for the meeting on Tuesday.
