Chair Ficek suggested examining the community survey scheduled for 2026 and its <br />possible effects on public safety and other issues. <br />Discussion continued on public safety topics: drinking water, ADA and <br />accessibility, speed limits, parks, drainage, lighting, and fireworks. <br />Member Luongo brought up the AARP audit and the importance of comparing it to <br />the city's ADA transition plan. <br />8. Municipal State Aid Streets (MSAS) Safety Plan <br />Assistant Public Works Director / City Engineer Jennifer Lowry presented the <br />Municipal State Aid Streets Safety Plan, highlighting the top 50 segments or <br />intersections identified for safety improvements. <br />Discussion on the plan's recommendations, including traffic calming measures, <br />intersection improvements, and access control changes, took place. <br />Ms. Lowry noted that the plan recommended a total of 132 projects at these 50 <br />locations with a combined cost of approximately $5.12 million. She explained the <br />high-level cost and crash reduction factor (CRF), detailing the crash severity <br />categories (K, A, B, C). The plan is an internal document for recommendations, not <br />mandatory actions, and involves discussing potential actions with state or county <br />authorities. <br />Ms. Lowry provided examples of urban segments, intersections, and pedestrian <br />studies, highlighting specific projects like County Road B and Snelling with a $2 <br />million recommended investment. The analysis involved reviewing aerial views <br />and Google Maps to identify risk factors and prioritize intersections based on crash <br />data and complaints. <br />Ms. Lowry explained the advantages of the plan for funding applications, including <br />the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and its sixty percent <br />share for local streets. <br />Ms. Lowry explained that the report encourages the City of Roseville to apply for <br />HSIP using the developed sheets and to coordinate with MnDOT and Ramsey <br />County on shared right-of-way projects. She suggested packaging lower -cost <br />improvements, such as signing and striping, to make progress on multiple projects. <br />The plan can be used to strengthen applications for programs like Safe Streets for <br />All and Safe Routes to School. <br />Ms. Lowry acknowledged the pilot program's awkwardness and the need for <br />adjustments in language and terminology between county and city levels. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
