the community continues to support the development of a more extensive pathways system that will <br />link the current pathways system to itself; the neighboring community's paths, and the regional <br />system creating a network that will function in the same fashion as our vehicular transportation <br />system. <br />This is an update ofthe 1997 plan. The intent ofthis document is to provide guidance forthe future <br />development of light traffic routes in the City of Roseville. <br />Purpose .,. <br />Imagine every Roseville resident being within short walking distance of a pathway network that links <br />them to numerous local and metro-wide destinations. Places like; schools, libraries, parks, stares, <br />friends or ~rork could be easily accessed just getting on the pathway network and walking, biking or <br />skating there. A successful network would mean that people living in the Langton Lake <br />neighborhood could safely walk or bike to Rosedale for lunch and a movie and then over to Har Mar <br />to pick up some new books. A student from the Lake Owasso area could bike to morning class at the <br />University ofMinnesota. Someone who's out for some exercise could bike around Bennett Lake on <br />their way to Lake McCarrons, then off to the Gateway Trail to explore the northeast suburbs. Or a <br />homeowner near Lake Josephine could bike to their job in downtown Minneapolis. The <br />opportunities are limitless ifwe develop a safe network of pathways that connect to our neighboring <br />communities. <br />Pathways are not a new concept, they are Found throughout the metropolitan area. Numerous <br />communities are developing pathways with every new development or redevelopment. Roseville <br />alone has about ] 04 miles of on and off-road pathways. The sidewalk, once a lost idea, is starting to <br />make its way back into suburban development because it connects neighborhoods creating a healthier <br />and more livable community. <br />The need is for a congruent system that links the existing pathways with each other creating a grid <br />not unlike the street network. The goal is to provide a safe alternative to the automobile that can <br />provide access as conveniently and eff ciently as that allowed for the automobile. )/very street within <br />the City should have a facility that provides safe travel for light traffic,. i.e. pedestrians, cyclists and <br />in-line skaters, whether it's a shared on-road facility or separated off-road facility. <br />The purpose of this document, the Roseville Pathway Master Plan, is to provide a set of guidelines <br />for use in the development of a pathway network for our community. These guidelines provide <br />policies and standards for the planning; design, construction, maintenance,. promotion and regulation <br />of the communitys pathway facilities. This plan is not intended to define interior park paths, those <br />will be def ned on an individual basis as the parks are planned. and developed; although, the <br />guidelines will provide some of the necessary elements for proper design and development. The <br />recommendations provided in this plan focus not only on the physical facilities; but also on education <br />and enforcement as important components of a general program to promote safe pathway use. Once <br />the master plan is adopted as part of the Roseville Comprehensive Plan it will serve as a planning <br />tool to assist the City Council on decisions regarding. pathway issues. <br />City of Roseville Pathway Master Plan <br />Final Review Draft August 2008 Page 4 of 34 <br />
