9. Proposed Short and Long Range Roadway Projects The sections below identify proposed short and long range roadway projects identified in the City and Ramsey County CIPS, the Metropolitan Council 2040 TPP/2018 Draft Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), and based on the proposed land use and redevelopment activities described in previous sections of this Plan. 9.1.1. Proposed Projects from Capital Improvement Plans The City's CIP identifies a number of roadway and pathway projects. These projects are primarily mill and overlay or pathway maintenance projects intended to improve and maintain the roadway or pathway surface. There are also several new pathway construction projects identified, including segments along Larpenteur Avenue, County Road B, and Victoria Street. The TPP identifies a number of highway projects in the City of Roseville, including a pavement rehabilitation project and bridge project along I -35W, construction of an I -35W MnPASS lane north of TH 36, and two additional bridge projects on TH 36. The City also received federal funding to construct an additional northbound lane along Snelling Avenue (TH 51) between County Road B2 to north of Lydia Avenue, along with associated intersection and ADA improvements. 10. Public Comments The City has gathered public input through public open house meetings, focus groups, and a walkabout in addition to web -based communications. Through these interactions, members of the public identified issues and opportunities related to transportation, with a strong focus on improving non -motorized transportation options within the City. Many comments were received relating to making the City more walkable and bikeable by filling gaps in the sidewalk and trail network, adding infrastructure such as bike lanes, and making associated safety and streetscaping improvements along roadways and at intersections. Other comments received related to improving transit connections and facilities, reducing traffic congestion, and improving overall connectivity. Feedback from public engagement has been incorporated into the transportation strategies included in this Plan. 11. Conclusion and Next Steps The purpose of this Transportation Plan is to set a multimodal transportation vision for the City of Roseville through the year 2040. Goals and specific strategies have been identified collaboratively by the City, Ramsey County, MnDOT, and members of the public within the framework of Metropolitan Council requirements. The vision and associated strategies outlined in this Plan were established by considering existing and forecasted conditions, Roseville priorities, regional travel patterns and a variety of other factors.
