as specifically directed or delegated by the City. Pathways were considered a primary goal of the Vista 2000 Program and are within the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. A plan to implement a citywide pathway system was completed in 1995 and 1996. The first phase of construction was in 1995 when the County Road C cross-community pathway system was completed from Cleveland to Rice Streets parallel with County Road C. It is anticipated that the planning and construction for remaining phases may take up from 5 to 10 years. (Reference Section 12.9B) 7. Corridor Plans: Highway 36, County Road C, Rice Street, and Larpenteur Avenue Highwav 36: During the comprehensive planning process, the Transportation Plan and the Land Use Plan focused on major corridors through the community that should be upgraded to meet environmental and aesthetic standards as well as transportation needs for the next 10 years. Highway 36 will undergo some bridge reconstruction in the next 10 years. Having completed the Dale Street Bridge, the Lexington Bridge is next, in 2009. It is anticipated that the city will be involved in entrance and exit relocations along Highway 36 as well as sound barriers and improved landscaping. A portion of the Vista 2000 study indicated that Highway 36, as a main street through Roseville, needed to be upgraded aesthetically in order to promote a more positive visual image of the Roseville community. One plan would include cooperative work between the City of Roseville, MNDOT, Ramsey County, and private development companies to provide additional fill material for sound-deadening berms, fencing and landscaping on the edge of the Highway 36 corridor. This plan and project is coordinated through the City of Roseville's Public Works Department. Parks & Recreation completed a beautification plan in 2000 that added trees and plantings in the right of way at Lexington A venue with a volunteer group of citizens. County Road C: County Road C is an important east/west arterial serving Roseville. Because it provides access to major commercial, industrial and civic properties, it is considered by many to be Roseville's "Main Street". As part of its capital improvements program, Ramsey County plans to reconsh'uct County Road C. from 1-35W to Oxford Street Gust east of Lexington Avenue) in a two-phase project, with completion dates in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Numerous large land use changes are currently being contemplated along County Road C, including the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, the Tower Place Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 2003 Update Implementation Program - Page 5 of 11
