intensity to encourage transit use and reduce automobile congestion are often competing objectives. For this mason, coordination ofland-use and transportation planning is critical. 2. Transportation Choices and Roadway Needs: Reduce traditional, single -occupancy motorized travel through Transportation Demand Management (TDM), increased non -motorized travel, and transit.This approach has two benefits. Fast, it limits the consumption of fuel by single - occupant vehicles and associated air emissions. Second, it can reduce the demand for added roadway capacity,allowing roadway "foo Pon ins"and impacts to be minimized. TDM, non -motorized transportation, and transit considerations will be discussed ingreater detail in this chapter Encourage telecommuting through the development of technology infrastructure 3. Appropriate Roadway Design: Plan and design roadways using best professional practices, including functional classification, sound transportation and engineering practices, access management guidelines, and other proven tools to provide transportation facilities that have good operational and safety characteristics. 4. Sustainable Practices: Employ reuse/recycling, procurement measures, and facility maintenance practices pertaining to transportation that limit the use of resources. This includes reuse/recycling of roadway materials as part of reconstruction projects, evaluation of alternative fuel vehicles for City fleets, and other measures Pq Transportation Pian Oty of Roseville Existing Transportation Conditions Roadway Overview Roseville is depicted in Figure 5.1 (Regional Location Map). It is located within the I-694 beltway. Important regional roadways that pass through or adjacent to the city include I -35W, TH 280, TH 36, and Snelling Avenue N. Figure 5.2 (Existing (2006) Daily Traffic Volumes) displays the current roadway system and the 2006 daily traffic volumes. Figure 5.3 (Existing (2008) Number ofLanes) displays the number oflanes on each roadway segment Jurisdictional Classification Jurisdiction over the roadway system in Roseville is shared among three levels of government the State of Minnesota, Ramsey County, and Roseville The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) maintains the interstate and trunk highway systems Ramsey County maintains the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and County Road Systems, aside from a few, short private streets. The remaining streets and roadways are the responsibility of Roseville, including Municipal State Aid (MSA) streets. Over 19e%of the land area in the city is used for right of way. Since the municipal boundaries separating Roseville from adjacent cities often lie within a roadway right- of-way, partnership with adjacent cities is required to coordinate maintenance of these roadways.
