1. CR D between Cleveland and Fairview (3 lanes) 2. Fairview between CR D and Terrace Drive and south of CR B (3 lanes) 3. Dale and Lexington between CR B and B-2 (vicinity of TH 36 interchanges) (4-lane divided) 4. CR B - 3 lanes from Dale to Rice (it is 2 east of Dale) 5. Rice through the City (5 lanes) As redevelopment occurs in the western part of the City, the need for new or improved roadways should be monitored. C. TRANSIT AND TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT The Metropolitan Council should be encouraged to maintain the existing level of transit in the City of Roseville. Potential improvements include addition of a new circulator route in the Twin Lakes/Centre Point area, midday service to the two downtowns and service connecting Rosedale to other suburban hubs. The City should also work to ensure good pedestrian ao;:ess to bus stops and shelters where necessary. In Roseville the local sensitivities to expanding roads are reflected in the goals expressed in the Vista 2000 report as well as this plan. Therefore the City should support travel demand management such as the HOV lane on TH 36. Additional park-and-ride lots may also be needed. The City should provide improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities between residential areas, work sites and transit facilities, and should put in place land use controls that encourage development that is "transit and pedestrian friendly." D. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS Figure Trans-3 shows the current Roseville pathway system. During the next year the Pathway Committee should revise their Pathway Plan. This plan should recognize the following: 1. The need for bicycle facilities along all minor arterials since they usually provide the most direct route for a bicycle traveler, but high levels of auto traffic can pose safety conflicts.
