In#roduc#ion The development of a pathway network in the City of Roseville, as well as, in the entire metropolitan area continues to have the support of Roseville residents. This desired network of pathways is essential in moving people to and from various destinations as well as providing additional recreational opportunities. The City currently has about 104 miles of pathways that provide some alternative to driving but are mostly used as recreational paths. This is a good start but if we as a City want to continue to provide a desirable place to live and work we need to pursue the construction of pathways in an organized and progressive manner. In l 992, the City invited residents to participate in Vista 2000 -- a series of forums designed to bring together citizens, city officials and business, education and civic groups to create a vision for our community's future. One of the outcomes of Vista 2000 was the creation of the Roseville Pathway Master Plan (1997). This plan was instrumental in the development of almost 20 miles ofpathwa.ys over the last 10 years. The City Council spearheaded a community visioning process in 2006 entitled: Imagine Roseville 2025 (1R2025). To answer questions about how Roseville will change in the coming years and begin shaping our community's future. The City Council adopted the Steering Committee's Final Report on March 29, 2007.
