CURRENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The following is an examination and description of the current transportation system in the City of Roseville including roadways, non-motorized pathways, railroads, and transit. A. ROADWAY JURISDICTION Jurisdiction over the roadway system in the City of Roseville is shared among three levels of government. They are the State of Minnesota, Ramsey County and the City. The Miill1esota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) maintains the interstate and trunk highway systems. Ramsey County maintains the County State Aid Highway (C.S.A.H.) and County Road Systems. There are a few short, private streets. The remaining streets and roadways are the responsibility of the City of Roseville. Figure Trans-1 is a map showing existing roadway jurisdictions in Roseville. Because of the arterial right-of-way in addition to local streets, over 19% of the land area in the City is used for right-of- way. Streets under the City's jurisdiction are continually being upgraded. Roseville is one of the first suburbs in the meh'opolitan area to recognize the importance of pavement management with the implementation of an annual ongoing program to continually maintain and upgrade its streets. There is considerable resident input in this program. B. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 2003 Update Transportation - Page 4 of 28
