Overview In September 2022, the City of Roseville initiated a community visioning project.The purpose of this project was tofaciIitate a community -driven process to review and update the existing community aspirations, and to develop specific outcomes to help the city to better realize those aspirations. The city's previous community aspirations were developed over 15 years ago (2006) and they set the general direction for the city, providing a foundation for many of the city's current and ongoing initiatives. However, since 2006, the community has seen continuous change and the aspirations needed to be updated and calibrated to ensure alignment with the vision and values of the people in Roseville today. Community demographics have changed. Consistentwith trends seen across the metro, Roseville is growing and is becoming more diverse with an 8% increase in communities of color from 2010 to 2020.There are also a substantial number of older adults, families with children, people with lower incomes, immigrant families, and people living with disabilities residing within the city. Technological advances have changed the way people interact with their community. Ride hailing services like Uber and Lyft have become common -place, smart devices with internet connections are widely available, and social media connects us to real time information like never before. Social justice movements have become mainstream. In the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the #MeToo movement, people are acknowledging past harms that have been done to marginalized communities and are striving toward outcomes that are more equitable for all people. The global pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we live, work, and play. COVID-19 has forever altered how we live. Things like workfrom home, delivery of consumer goods, social distancing, and changes in the ways we use public spaces have become the next normal. To develop the new aspirations, the city facilitated community involvement and collaboration with residents, business owners, local institutions and other stakeholders as an opportunity for them to express ideas on how they want their community to lookand feel in the future.The result was the development and evaluation of a set of community aspirations and related outcomes which respond to the values of the people who live and work in Roseville today.These aspirations provide a blueprint to guide key decisions in Roseville, now and into the future. Key Finding A keyfi nd i ng of this effort was the validation of the 2006aspirations. The new community aspirations presented in this document are a refreshed take on the community vision and sentiments for today's Roseville, but do not signal a substantial change indirection for the city. Instead, they affi rm the overall direction and provide a modern look for the world today. ENVISION4bR0SEVILLEISummaryReport Page 52 of 140
