The <br />Plan was approved by the City Council on March 26, 2002. The vision of Plan is to <br />"Cannect, Balance, and Renew the Neighborhood for the Betterment of the People in <br />the Neighborhood and the City of Roseville". The plan further seeks to provide sufficient <br />public and private open space areas throughout the neighborhood that are essential <br />elements of community life and "sense of place" and to provide public connections <br />through streets and pedestrian trails within the neighborhood. <br />�. � With Phase I(Applewood Pointe) of the Arona-Hamline Neighborhood Master Plan nearly <br />complete staff has been evaluating ways to assure that the public connections to the <br />development, new park and pond/pathway system are provided from the neighborhoods in <br />the area. These connections are needed from the new section of Arona Street north to <br />County Road C2 and from the new section of Terrace Drive east to Hamline Avenue. <br />?_; As part of the Metropolitan Council's Livable Communities Grant awarded to the City of <br />Roseville in 1996, $150,000 was allocated for landscaping and sidewalk improvements in <br />public right of ways to encourage pedestrian traffic and provide an appealing buffer between <br />the roadway and private or public properties. Approximately $81,000 of the $150,000 has <br />been applied to other proj ects throughout the community including Lexington Park, the <br />comer of Lexington and �Zaselawn in connection with the Lexington Professional Building, <br />Ace Hardware store and Roselawr� Village Office and the corner of Hamline and County <br />Road B as part of Roseville Auto Shop. These funds were allocated to these properties to <br />provide landscaping and sidewalk improvements in the public right of way areas as part of <br />their property improvements projects. <br />f��l� � rani T�p�n�ji kur� R��i�w# 1��� =� Rr 0�.� - T���� 1 t� �� <br />
