INTRODUCTION <br />In the City of Roseville, pathways are defined as facilities that serve non -motorized <br />users (pedestrians, bicyclists, in -line skaters, etc.) commonlywithin the public right-of- <br />way. There are many different types of pathways throughout the city as further <br />described in this document, and they can be both on -road (i.e., shoulder, bike lane) or <br />off -road (i.e., sidewalks, trails, footpaths). The development of a pathway network in <br />the City of Roseville, as well as, in the entire metropolitan area continues to have the <br />support of Roseville residents. This desired network of pathways is essential in moving <br />people to and from various destinations as well as providing additional recreational <br />opportunities. The City currently has about 114 miles of pathways that provide some <br />alternative to driving but are mostly used as recreational paths. This is a good start <br />but if we as a City want to continue to provide a desirable place to live and work we <br />need to pursue the construction of pathways in an organized and progressive manner. <br />In 1992, the City invited residents to participate in Vista 2000 -- a series of forums <br />designed to bring together citizens, city officials and business, education and civic <br />groups to create a vision for our community's future. One of the outcomes of Vista <br />2000 was the creation of the Roseville Pathway Master Plan (1997). This plan was <br />instrumental in the development of almost 30 miles of pathways over the last 20 years. <br />In 2006, the City Council spearheaded a community visioning process entitled: Imagine <br />Roseville 2025. The results of the visioning process demonstrated that the community <br />continues to support the development of a more extensive pathways system that will <br />link the current pathways system to itself, the neighboring community's paths, and the <br />regional system creating a network that will function in the same fashion as our <br />Page 3 <br />
