CITYHALL CAMPUS <br />SOLAR INSTALLATION <br />Roseville has begun implementing its efforts to encourage the <br />use of renewable energy and lower the City's impact on the <br />environment. In recent months, a larger solar array has been <br />installed on three buildings of Roseville's City Hall Campus. <br />These panels at City Hall, the Fire Station, and Maintenance <br />Facility have an estimated savings in energy of $1,366 in the <br />first year alone, and promote the continued implementation <br />of renewable sources of energy throughout the City. <br />SOLSMART PROGRAM <br />Roseville is hoping to complete the requirements for Bronze <br />Level recognition in the SolSmart program in the upcoming <br />year. SolSmart is a national organization that provides <br />resources, guidance, and recognition to cities that support <br />local solar energy. Bronze Level recognition requires actions in <br />categories such as permitting, inspection, and community <br />engagement, which Roseville is working to further address in <br />order to promote more sustainable energy. The installation of <br />City Hall's solar array is one step towards promoting this <br />increase throughout the City.

Complete Streets is a <br />nationally recognized philosophy for developing a <br />transportation system that is equitable, safe, <br />and accessible for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit <br />riders, and motorists. The policy also seeks to <br />support local economic development and reduce <br />stress on the environment. <br />In the upcoming future, the Public Works <br />department will explore possible locations for the <br />implementation of Complete Streets. The internal <br />application of this plan will work in tandem with <br />existing plans and policies, such as the 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Plan and <br />Pathway Master Plan, and the Regional Bicycle <br />Transportation Network from the Metropolitan <br />Council. <br />
