Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: May 22, 2007 Item No: 7 Item Description: Pathway Master Plan Discussion Since the mid- 1980s, the City of Roseville has considered non-motorized trails to be a significant part of its transportation plan. During the Vista 2000 strategic planning process, Roseville residents called on the City to continue to develop additional multi-modal systems of transportation with emphasis on non-motorized trail systems. As a result of Vista 2000, the Pathway Advisory Committee was created. This group ofRoseville residents developed the Roseville Pathway Master Plan. One of the major goals identified in this plan is the integration of the local system with the larger regional system. The group identified and prioritized 20 different pathway segments for construction that help complete the City's pathway network. The Roseville City Council adopted the Roseville Pathway Master Plan in 1998 and it was added to the Parks and Recreation Systems Plan, which is a section of the City's Comprehensive Plan. This plan identifies and ranks a number of pathway facilities as critical to the area pathway network. The priority ranking for development is based on criteria created by the Pathway Advisory Committee. The criteria evaluates the pathway segments based on their ability to; connect to multiple destinations, connect to the regional system, eliminate safety concerns, expected usage, compatibility with adjoining properties, impact on adjoining properties and ifthe segment filled a void in the system. In the interest of achieving the goals set out by the Pathway Advisory Committee, City Staff pursues alternative funding mechanisms to construct the recommended pathway segments. The City's Pathway Advisory Committee last updated the plan in 2002-2003. We have included the Master plan map. The other documentation was sent via emaillate last month. Recommended Action: Discussion of the current plan and of future actions and process to begin update of the plan.
