<br />Redevelopment Area and Roseville's City Center. These changes, along with the <br />County's proposed street reconstruction project, present a unique opportunity to <br />upgrade the urban design elements of the County Road C corridor <br />commensurate with its community significance. The first step in implementing <br />such a change is to develop an overall urban design master plan for the County <br />Road C corridor. <br /> <br />In anticipation of the County's reconstruction project, the City Council <br />authorized the preparation of a master plan for County Road C from 1-35W to <br />Rice Street to investigate upgrades to the urban design and streetscape. The City <br />Council selected Dahlgren Shardlow and Uban, Inc. to work with a citizen task <br />force to prepare this master plan. There has been considerable public input into <br />this process. <br /> <br />Rice Street: <br />The Rice Street corridor has been mentioned numerous times for redesign and <br />redevelopment. There are a number of mixed uses along the west side of Rice <br />Street. However, a majority of the incompatible or blighted uses appear to be on <br />the east side of Rice Street, and will require cooperation from Ramsey County, <br />MNDOT, and the Cities of Maplewood, Little Canada, St. Paul, and Shoreview. <br />It is anticipated that a corridor study will be commissioned in the near future <br />now that the street is turned back to Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape Master Plan: (Appendices 12.11B) <br />The Larpenteur Avenue corridor was designated by Ramsey County as a <br />redevelopment project. The Cities of Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, St. Paul, <br />Roseville, and Maplewood participated in the planning process for the <br />redevelopment of the road right-of-way. Lexington Avenue is seen as a southern <br />gateway to Roseville and as an environmental corridor connecting Lake Como <br />with Roseville's Central Park and Community Center as well as Lake Josephine. <br />The Larpenteur Avenue corridor study was undertaken jointly by the cities and <br />the County during 1995-1996. The master plan implementation of streetscape <br />improvements began in 2000 and was completed in 2001 from Harnline to <br />Lexington. The City completed the second phase of this plan between Lexington <br />and Dale in 2003. <br /> <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 2003 Update <br /> <br />Implementation Program - Page 6 of 11 <br />
