Roseville Transportation Plan & <br />Pathways Master Plan: <br />Summary of Focus Group Comments <br />(As of April 28, 2017) <br />1. Transportation to school desperately needed (public transit, etc.). Students can't get <br />anywhere. <br />2. Need access to main thoroughfares/transit <br />3. Think about from a non -car perspective (like a bike) - some very scary spots. Crossing 36 for <br />example. <br />4. It's not an easy bike commuting city. <br />5. Getting to high school is pretty scary to cross the bridge. <br />6. Ability to get around without car. <br />7. More biking and walkability. <br />8. How people get around for people who don't have cars? <br />9. Highways overpower (sound). <br />10. How to walk to HerMar and Rosedale? <br />11. Younger people don't necessarily want cars. <br />12. Transit availability is an issue... and an issue for employers to recruit diverse employees. <br />13. Connections between transit stops and the buildings where people are going (community <br />center, food shelf, elementary schools). <br />14. Fewer cars are a trend. <br />15. NuStar - long standing business; trucks, hazardous materials, in old industrial area; less heavy <br />trucking, more gas and diesel distribution now; challenge = space; have 60 acres now, lots of <br />infrastructure investment (cant change), need room, neighbors are a challenge (truck traffic <br />complaints). <br />16. Roseville Bus. Retention Program Oeannie) - need connections to transportation; missing <br />east west connections (transit). <br />17. Need a vision for HerMap nightlife, entertainment, housing; BFT station, TOD? <br />18. Want Millennials to come here: walkable / bikeable places and Roseville is not that; HerMar <br />is an opportunity; not safe to bike to destinations. <br />19. Was originally developed as a car -based community... need to evolve and change the vision. <br />20. Ridership on A -Line a good trend. <br />21. Bikes - routing and signage; connection to diagonal nad to Minneapolis and St. Anthony. <br />22. NuStar - lots of employees hired from afar; live in farther suburbs or younger staff in St <br />Anthony, Minneapolis; newest hires don't live here - want more trendy, walking, running, <br />biking areas; not as bike friendly particularly with industrial traffic. <br />23. City needs to develop/market bikeways better to attract millennial. <br />
