The area where most of the City capital investment has occurred since 1990 is the road system. Nearly $20 million has been spent to rebuild Roseville's road system. The park system has acquired over 80 acres of new parkland at a cost of nearly $2 million. A Wildlife Rehab Center has been added to the Nature Center in 2002. In addition, the City built the Oval Skating Center, a state-of-the-art Gymnastics Center and two new, shared school-city gymnasiums. It also refurbished many of the 28 parks. Based on the November 2002 referendum, $9.7 million will be spent in 2003 and 2004 to improve police and public works facilities on the city center campus. Maps within the Plan show locations of major capital projects between 1990 and 2000 and include roads, utilities, pathways, new parks and park improvements. The Roseville Comprehensive Plan is divided into 11 sections by topic and an appendix. What follows is a summary of Sections 2 through 11 of the Comprehensive Plan. SECTION 2. DEMOGRAPHY. Who lives and works here? Where are the children? Many people ask for details about the demographic make-up of the community. Section 2, the Community Profile provides answers in charts and maps illustrating Roseville's population by age, sex, density, ownership, tenure and other measures. Over the past 40 years the community has grown from less than 8,000 residents in 1950 to 33,690 in the 2000 Census. By 2020 at maximum, Roseville will grow by about 10 percent to a total of 37,000 residents. The median resident age is slightly more than 41 years. By age group, Roseville has a growing senior population and a shrinking youth group. Over the past 40 years, the under 5 age group has declined from 16 percent of the population to less that two percent; those between 5 and 19 have declined from 32 percent of the population to slightly more than 15 percent; and those over age 65 have increased from two percent to nearly 20 percent. Typical of most first ring suburbs, senior females make up as much as 60 percent of the over 65 age group. Racially, Roseville is made up of nearly 90 percent white Americans and ten percent minorities. The largest minority consists of Asian Americans which doubled in size in the last ten years to now account for five percent of the population. SECTION 3. GOALS AND POLICIES. The view of the future or "vision" of Roseville is contained in a process called Vista 2000 and Vista 2010. This citizen participation process is a critical part of updating the Roseville Comprehensive Plan. The question, "What should Roseville look like in the next ten years?" is asked for many topics such as land use, transportation, housing, neighborhoods, economic development, Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 2002 Update Executive Summary -Page 5 of 16
