Attachment A Adopted by Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commision on July 24, 2012 City of Roseville Complete Streets Policy The City of Roseville is committed to developing and maintaining a safe, efficient, balanced and environmentally sound transportation system and supports integrating physical activity into daily routines through actions such as biking, walking, or taking transit. Roseville will enhance safety, mobility, accessibility and convenience for all corridor users including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, motorists, commercial and emergency vehicles, and for people of all ages and abilities by planning, designing, operating, and maintaining a network of complete streets. This policy applies to all corridors under the City of Roseville jurisdiction. The city will work with other transportation agencies to incorporate a complete streets philosophy and encourages the State of Minnesota, neighboring cities, Ramsey County and regional organizations to adopt similar policies. Given the limited number of new streets constructed in Roseville, flexibility in accommodating different modes of travel on existing streets is essential to balancing the needs of all corridor users. The city will implement complete streets in such a way that the character of the project area, the values of the community, and the needs of all users are fully considered. Therefore, complete streets will not look the same in all settings, and will not necessarily include exclusive elements for all modes. As part of any transportation project, incorporation of complete street elements will be considered. These elements include, but are not limited to: • Pathways, both on -road and off- road • Crosswalks and crossings • Stormwater drainage • Trees and other landscaping options • Lane widths • Lighting • Public transit facilities • Bicycle facilities • On -street parking • Environmental corridors and wildlife movement Applicable design standards and best practices will be followed in conjunction with construction, reconstruction, changes in allocation of pavement space on an existing roadway, or other changes in street corridor. The planning, design, and implementation processes for all transportation corridors will: • Involve the local community and stakeholders • Assess the current and future needs of corridor users • Incorporate a review of existing system plans to identify complete streets opportunities. • Consider the function of the road Page 1
