SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2020 JUNE 2020 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2040 In the past year, Roseville has updated the city's Comprehensive Plan, which establishes goals for community development and growth through 2040 and a path to achieving those goals. Responses from a community survey used in the Vision, Goals and Decisions plan found that residents voted to dedicate resources to protecting wetlands, rivers, and green spaces and becoming a more walkable and pedestrian friendly community as the top two priorities for the next five years. Chapter 9: Resilience highlights Roseville's goals under Environmental Protection, Resilience, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Renewable Energy, and Environmental Education and Outreach. These goals are the blueprint for the City Goals on page 1. This report itself is one way to increase environmental education and outreach, and various other projects completed in 2019 meet increasing requests for environmental changes in the city. NEW ORGANICS DROP SITE At the beginning of the year, Roseville proposed an organics recycling site at the same location as the Dale Street yard -waste facility. The proposal was approved by the City Council, and the site opened to the public at the end of this summer. The site is available for residents to drop off or- ganic waste such as food scraps and land waste within the city limits. Interested residents may bring organic waste to the site, or to one of many other Ramsey County sites found on their interac- tive online map. Small organics containers are available by request at City Hall to promote this practice, and bags can be found at the drop off site, at City Hall, and in stores. Resources for interested community members are available on the City of Roseville website. Organics Information and Drop Sites: https://www.cityofroseville.com/3393/Food- 2
