Motorized Transportation Roseville should continue to maintain and improve its network of residential streets. They should be well marked, well maintained in all seasons, and designed with resident input. Street standards should be flexible to provide for residential differences. Truck traffic should be carefully controlled and limited to specific commercial areas. Roseville should monitor the State and County highway system within the community to be sure that it is well maintained, attractive, safe, and provides good access to our own commercial and business areas without intruding into our residential areas. o Work with state and county agencies on plans for improvement of Highways 35W, 36, and Snelling Avenue which include appropriate access points, limited expansion, beautification, and reforestation projects together with sound barriers where needed. o Limit freeway access in residential areas. o Control truck access to residential areas. o Request accommodations for pedestrian and bike traffic over or under major freeways and/or highways. (in progress) o Design and redo residential streets with considerable resident input and city flexibility. o Review the safety issues of surmountable versus barrier curbing on City residential streets. o Provide an option for dark concrete curbing on residential streets. o Direct the location and development of businesses generating significant large truck traffic to existing freeway access points. o Maintain smooth street surfaces, including appropriate elevation of manholes and shutoff valves. o Promote work-at-home programs (telecommuting) and flextime scheduling. o Install all utilities, and possibly an extra conduit for fiber optics, along residential streets during street improvement projects. o Identify, evaluate, and correct problems of congestion in high traffic areas and problems in recurrent accident sites. (in progress) o Require that garbage trucks be equipped with tertiary wheels. o Participate in Ramsey County's plan for the "Functional Consolidation of Roadways". o Explore the use of alternative fuels for city vehicles. Other Issues • Roseville should join with or lead other communities in the metropolitan area with respect to alternative transportation methods and insist upon high safety standards with respect to the transportation of hazardous materials within and through our community.
