126 Roger Toogood, 601 Terrace Court, stated he attended a public forum and had 127 concerns with three items within the Transportation Plan. He encouraged the City 128 to consider turn lanes within new developments. He recommended the City 129 Council and City staff provide strong leadership on the redevelopment of Highway 130 36. He suggested the City consider improved signage for seniors given the fact the 131 population of seniors was on the rise. He commended the City on the great work 132 they do for their residents and stated he was a proud resident of the City of 133 Roseville. 134 135 Chair Cihacek encouraged Mr. Toogood to provide staff with further information 136 on the intersections that needed turn lanes. 137 138 Member Wozniak stated he had fourteen items to address. He requested staff turn 139 to Page 31. He reported the table (Table 6) was duplicated from Page 13. He 140 suggested this table be replaced with a table that highlights the five major arterial 141 roadways within the City that were over capacity. 142 143 Chair Cihacek suggested the table be labeled "Highly Congested Routes". 144 145 Member Wozniak recommended Driverless Vehicles and the potential impacts on 146 traffic be addressed within Section 3.2. He stated he was disappointed WSB was 147 not present to address this matter. 148 149 Chair Cihacek commented he did not belio be pertinent. 150 151 Member Seigler agreed stating the technology was just not there yet, but perhaps 152 in 10 years. 153 154 Member Wozniak stated on Page 33 he would like to have staff consider how bikes 155 are changing. He noted electric bicycles were becoming more affordable and could 156 become a more popular mode of transportation. 157 158 Mr. Culver indicated this Section could be amended to include modernized bicycles 159 as a form of transportation. 160 161 Member Wozniak stated the important part was for staff to understand that bicycles 162 were changing. He suggested on Page 37 that Roselawn Avenue be added to the 163 RBT corridors identified in the City. He stated the City needed an east/west 164 corridor south of Highway 36. 165 166 Mr. Culver explained this plan was a reflection of the Met Council and County's 167 plans and he would need to see their reaction to this recommendation. He stated he 168 could add a note regarding Roselawn Avenue being explored as a future corridor. 169 170 Chair Cihacek recommended the language remain as is. 171
