Communication Items <br /> <br />Deb Bloom reminded viewers that Roseville cleanup day is Saturday, <br />April 28. <br /> <br />A copy of "The End of the Road: Challem!:es of Fundim!: Minnesota's <br />Local Road and Brid2e Network" was provided to the Commission. <br /> <br />Member Fischer asked about the current state of the bridges in Roseville. <br />Ms. Bloom said Roseville was responsible for three bridges in the city. <br />The Lexington Avenue Bridge is under state jurisdiction and is scheduled <br />for maintenance in the near future. Funding is always an issue. <br /> <br />Chair DeBenedet updated the Commission on the Rice Street Technical <br />Advisory Committee. The level of traffic growth projected will probably <br />require a four-lane road; and as sections are reconstructed, they will be <br />designed with that projection in mind. His concern is to maintain access <br />for existing businesses and homes. Duane Schwartz suggested that the <br />Commission might want to drive the road sometime in the next month. <br /> <br />Member Vanderwall said that he lives on the east side of Rose vi lIe and <br />drives across Rice Street quite often. He almost always sees pedestrians <br />trying to get across, plus there are children walking to school in that area. <br />He wants to make sure pedestrians are given more consideration in <br />designs changes. <br /> <br />5.
