City Council Work Session Meeting Monday, March 19, 2018 Page 13 should include what has been done through the EDA with the demolition and sal- vage of the home on South McCarron's, and the effort in place to help folks with trouble in young adult life get back on track. Mayor Roe summarized there are several things to include to make the chapter more robust. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:12 p.m., and reconvened at approximately 8:17 p.m. Councilmember Willmus departed the meeting at approximately 8:12 p.m. due to illness. Chapter 7 Ms. Perdu noted the Transportation chapter was written collaboratively between WSB Consultants, the Public Works department, and the PWET Commission. It is formatted and arranged differently since it includes highly technical infor- mation. The data and strategies revolve around a few general themes: • Roadways • Multi-modal transportation • Transit • Freight Councilmember McGehee expressed support for this chapter. She noted this is the chapter Councilmember Etten had commented on, with the helpful table of contents at the beginning. She also pointed out the language on page 3, "similar to this Plan," and expressed confusion about whether that is the Comp Plan or the TTP plan, or does Roseville have its own TTP plan. Additionally, she has already discussed with Mr. Culver the importance of putting County Road C first, rather than CSAH 23, and then put the other designations in the parenthesis afterwards for clarity and readability. She also suggested some bolding of key words for readability. She asked that some explanation be included as to some of the changes included in the document, such as on page 11, "a B Minor Arterial" to an "A Minor Reliever." Public Works Director Culver confirmed he had a conversation earlier today about some of these items, and that the Public Works staff can improve on the "why" behind the proposed changes in the functional classification system. He stated that staff will add a little bit of a narrative to the document. The biggest is- sue was getting Fairview classified as an "A Minor Reliever" because it then be- comes eligible for federal funding. It is also a better indication of the role it is serving right now, given the amount of traffic that diverts from 35W to Fairview. Additionally, the collector streets are already identified as Municipal State Aid streets, which implies a higher volume than local streets. It is recognizing the role they are already playing.
