Attachment B These funds can only be used on Roseville’sMSA designated streets (20% of our total street mileage) and on “off system” roads such as State Aid designated County Roads (Lexington Ave, Rice St) and State Highways (Snelling Ave, 35W, 36). However, Roseville’s current funding levels are only sufficient to allow formill and overlayrepairstothe existing State Aid system. The City see longer term funding gaps as large County project come due (i.e. County Road C, Rice Street, County Road B2) and the City is forced to participate in the costs of those projects. For example, the City’s cost participation on the County Road C Reconstruction project is estimated at more than $900,000. This figure represents almost 60% of Roseville’s annual State Aid allocation. Finally, as more cities surpass the 5,000-person population threshold to participate as Municipal State Aid cities, the MSA Fund shortfall will become even more pronounced. Lastly,an increasing number of Roseville residents are asking for improved transit services. The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies transit deficiencies on key corridors such as Larpenteur Ave. The key to adding additional service and resources is ultimately funding. Metro Transit would like to increase service, but is faced with prioritizing routes due to gaps in current funding levels. The City of Roseville supports additional comprehensive transportation funding. Specific to Roseville transportation funding should go towards: Increased Municipal State Aid road funding Increased County State Aid road funding Investment to reduce congestion in I-35W corridor Investment to reduce congestion in Hwy 36 corridor Increased funding for transit services in Roseville, especially east-west routes. Expansion of Snelling Ave. Bus Rapid Transit north of Rosedale Mall Incorporation of pedestrian/bike trails adjacent and over major transportation corridors
