Policy 3.6: Develop streets according to thew designated functional class; pavement width, load capacity, and continuity of the street must recognize the function for which the street is intended. Policy 3.7: Maintain high-quality neighborhoods through the ongoing City Pavement Management Program to rehabilitate or reconstruct city streets. Goal 4: Promote the use of transit as a reasonable alternative to driving automobiles during both congested and non -congested time periods through land -use and transportation decisions. Policy 4.1.• Cooperate with and assist the Regional Transit Board (RTB) to provide effective transit service to all areas of the city. Policy 4.2: Support Metro Transit as a primary transit provider for the city. Policy 4.3: Advocate planning and development of the Northeast Diagonal Transit Corridor. Policy 4.4: Support the Rosedale Transit Hub and Snelling Avenue Transit Corridor and examine the feasibility of adding transit mini -hubs in other areas of the city. Policy 4.6: Clezrlymzrkbus stops and provide adequate space for buses to pull out of the moving traffic lane for loading and unloading. Policy 4.7: Provide adequate and attractive pedestrian access to bus stops by expanding the existing network of sidewalks as recommended in the Pathway Master Plan. Policy 4.8: Encourage transit -supportive development along existing and future transit corridors. Policy 4,9: Provide input into the rail corridor planning and abandonment processes, if rads are removed, the corridors should be preserved for public uses, such as transit or pathways, and in the event of rail line abandonment, an appropriate public agency should acquire the land for public purposes. Policy 4.10: Play an active role in planning for potential transitways and preserving potential rights-of-way and station locations. Goal 5: Encourage the use of non -motorized transportation by providing a high-quality network of both ofr-road and on -road pathways, and ensure that bicycle and pedestrian routes are safe, efficient, and attractive. Policy 5.1: Recognize the needs and preferences of pedestrians and cyclists with various skill, experience levels, and purpose by providing a wide range of facilities to accommodate commuter, functional, and recreational trips. Policy 5.3: Aggressively expand Roseville's off-road pathway system. Policy 5.4: Update the Pathways Master Plan as needed. Sustainable Transportation "Sustainability" is increasingly being embraced by communities throughout the metro area; however, there are differing definitions of what sustainability entails. For the purposes of this transportation plan, sustainability means conducting an artivity or providing a Service in a manner that minimizes the consumption of natural resources. Sustainability also includes understanding—and planning for—the full social, environmental, and economic costs associated with transportation and land -use decisions. From a transportation perspective, sustainable goals that Roseville strives for us as follows: General Planning: Coordinate land -use and transportation planning so that the transportation system efficiently and effectively supports existing and anticipated development. Mixed-use developments, when compared with equally sized developmentswhere land uses we strictly separated, can slow the growth ofvehiculu trips. Encouraging higher residential densities,where appropriate, can provide the "critical mass" of activity necessary to support increased transit use. However, increasing residential densities and commercial land -use 2030 Comprehensive Plan Adopted: October 26, 2009 Transportation 1 5-3
