3.Recent citizen surveys rank pathways high as a fundamental asset of Roseville now and in the future. Studies show that sidewalks promote better health and public safety. 4.The Pathway Master Plan, City of Roseville, September 22, 2008 identifies the Victoria Street segment north of County Road C as the second highest ranked and unfinished project after Rice Street. 5.Many residents use this segment of Victoria Street for walking, biking, and the Roseville High School uses it for training its cross countr y and track runners. 6.There is a segment of this roadway near the intersection with West Owasso Blvd where many northbound cars cross the centerline and many southbound cars drive on the shoulder. 7.The paved roadway consists of two lanes, 12 feet wide plus a six-foot wide shoulder on each side. 8.The speed limit on this segment of Victoria Street is 40 mph. The existing traffic on this segment of Victoria Street is more than 6,500 vehicles per day with a 2030 projected traffic volume of 12,000 vpd. (Comprehensive Plan 2030, City of Roseville, Adopted October 26, 2009, Chapter 5, Transportation). 9.Many Roseville residents who live on or near this segment of Victoria Street do not feel safe walking or biking on the current shoulder, particularly families with children and those with physical disabilities. 10.A fact sheet "Health by Design" summarizes the benefits of sidewalks and can be found at www.healthbydesign .org. We therefore request the City Council order the planning for construction of this pathway as detailed in the report to the Council from the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission in its report of November 26, 2013 which was forwarded to the City Council as a recommendation as requested by the City Council.
