Existing Bike Network <br />The existing network of bikeways in Roseville is comprised of <br />striped shoulders, sidewalks, and shared -use paths that are <br />mostly located on Ramsey County roads. Shared -use paths in <br />Roseville city parks also contribute to the existing network. There <br />are very few on -road bike lanes that are relatively new (i.e. the <br />delineator protected bike lane on Hamline Avenue from County <br />Road B to 132 installed as a demonstration project associated <br />with this planning effort). <br />Sidewalks comprise nearly 50% of existing bikeways in Roseville. <br />While city ordinance allows biking on sidewalks, sidewalks are <br />not a long-term solution for cycling in Roseville as sidewalks are <br />not designed for people to bike; they are narrow, which creates <br />conflicts between bicyclists and pedestrians, and drivers do not <br />expect to see cyclists on sidewalks. <br />The map on the following page shows pathways proposed in <br />Roseville's 2021 Pathway Master Plan update overlaid on the <br />existing bike network. The map also shows the progress the City <br />has made on since 2021, with nine recently completed pathway <br />segments and six near term pathways programmed for <br />completion in the upcoming year. <br />Sidewalks: 5-6 feet wide along <br />busy roads, bicycling allowed, 47 <br />but not ideal. <br />Shared -use path: 8-10 feet <br />wide along busy roads, shared 37 <br />by people walking and biking. <br />Striped Shoulders: street -level <br />paved shoulders often shared 18 <br />with parking and marked with <br />a white line. <br />Total 102 <br />A —I' <br />Striped Shoulders on Western Ave <br />Page 154 of <br />
