Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, May 16, 2016 <br />Page 20 <br />areas of concern and identifying ways for the City of Roseville to push back about <br />unmet needs by the Metropolitan Council to at least get on their radar. <br />Public Works Director Culver noted that the Metropolitan Council would ulti- <br />mately review the city's comprehensive plan, allowing Roseville residents and the <br />City Council to make specific comments on current transit services and the desire <br />for improvements. However, Mr. Culver advised that he couldn't guarantee their <br />receptiveness with no available -rnechanism to force improvements; but opined <br />having that public voice and subsequent coinment from the Metropolitan Council <br />on those public comrnents would at least get things out in front of them. <br />Mayor Roe noted with the last update, the System Plan that came forward re- <br />moved a transit corridor through Roseville, and as specified by Roseville in their <br />comprehensive plan update, the corridor had been inserted again. Mayor Roe <br />suggested a broader voice from several jurisdictions may be an example of influ- <br />encing outcomes; noting that the Rice Street corridor had been identified in the <br />not too distant past as a main north/south corridor in the region. <br />Councilmember McGehee noted the need for cross connections for residents as <br />well as those public transportation offerings on major roadways. As an example, <br />Councilmember McGehee advised that the School District had to provide trans- <br />portation for elderly residents and program participants to recreational and/or ed- <br />ucational facilities at the Fairview Community Center due to the lack of public <br />transportation. <br />Mayor Roe, with concurrence from Councilmember McGehee, also noted, from <br />conversations at new immigrant forums, opportunities to train people to use the <br />public transportation system were not feasible as that public transportation didn't <br />exist where they lived, therefore they couldn't get to the site and learn to use it. <br />If opportunities present themselves during the process to get areas of importance <br />for Roseville to the attention of the Metropolitan Council, Councilmember <br />Laliberte encouraged taking advantage of those opportunities. As an example, <br />Councilmember Laliberte referenced the new housing development on Dale Street <br />that was reliant on a bus stop being there, with there currently being no stop nor <br />one planned as an option for those residents. <br />Councilmember Etten spoke in support of strengthening collective efforts with the <br />Cities of St. Paul and Maplewood, and Ramsey County to approach transit needs <br />and getting that information back to the Metropolitan Council, since this impacts <br />a broader area than just the City of Roseville. <br />Mayor Roe noted that the SE area under discussion and involving those various <br />jurisdictions involved three different Ramsey County Commissioner seats; and <br />agreed with the point of Councilmembers Etten and Laliberte that this created a <br />
