The purpose of prioritizing projects is so the City can focus on certain projects that have been <br />deemed important. In other words, when a project is ranked as a top priority staff may develop <br />conceptual plans and budget estimates, seek additional funding from outside sources and add them to <br />the development schedule. <br />Prioritizing pathway projects for development can be a misleading task. Often project ranking <br />becomes some what skewed as sometimes lower ranking projects are developed prior to others that <br />have been ranked higher. Often there are other forces that affect the development schedule. For <br />example, local and county street reconstruction; if a street corridor is designated to have a pathway <br />and that street is proposed for reconstruction then that project would move up because the <br />opportunity has presented itself. Likewise, if a number of projects have been submitted for external <br />funding and a lower ranked project is approved, it too would move up on the list. The table on the <br />following page shows the priority projects selected by the Advisory Committee and their subsequent <br />average scores using the criteria ranking methodology defined below. <br />Project Ranking <br />The following criteria are used by the Advisory Committee to determine priority recommendations. <br />The Committee was asked to place a value from 0-5 on each criterion based on the policies and <br />standards and their understanding of the community's needs. Then they were asked to evaluate <br />projects by weighing each criterion for that specific project. The end result was a ranking that in turn <br />prioritized the projects. Listed below are the criteria used to rank projects and a brief explanation of <br />each. <br />Ranking Criteria <br />A. Connects multiple destinations. <br />Provides convenient access to businesses, schools, churches, work parks and a variety of <br />other community amenities and destinations. <br />B. Connects to regional system. <br />Provides linkage to the larger network ofpathways that extend beyond Roseville. <br />C. Connects to Transit <br />Connects bus stops, transit hubs, or provides a connection to other transit amenities. <br />D. Provides a Safe Route to School <br />Provides a safe connection from neighborhoods to schools throughout Roseville and adjacent <br />communities. <br />City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan <br />Final Review Draft August 2008 Page 24 of <br />31 <br />
