and will be improved and expanded in 2003-2004. Pedestrian pathway systems <br />are also recommended and the City has adopted a City-wide 10 year pathway <br />construction plan. <br />While Roseville annually completes a portion of a lo-year systematic <br />reconstruction program for all City streets and utilities, the County and State <br />programs are not as well-defined. Because Roseville was built along an original <br />grid of County and State Highways that have gradually turned into urban streets <br />and metropolitan "pass-through" highways, the needed additional capacity and <br />rebuilding of these roads are important to the quality of life within the <br />community. While these roads provide convenient access to Roseville, they <br />create noise, light, air quality and surface water management issues that impact <br />the day-to-day life of the residents. These issues must be anticipated so that <br />efforts are made to reduce these impacts. In 2000, according to the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation (MnDOT), at peak times Interstate 35W carries <br />152,000 vehicles per day through Roseville; Highway 36 carries slightly more <br />than 82,000 vehicles per day, Snelling Avenue, State Highway 51 carries in excess <br />of 45,000 vehicles per day and Highway 280 carries about 40,000 vehicles per <br />day. <br />The City recognized that the County and City streets (called A-minor and B- <br />minor Arterials) become "relievers" for the state highway system. The City, <br />working with the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition that includes Roseville <br />and six cities directly north of Roseville, is developing a plan for better use of <br />existing east-west and north-south boulevards at speeds and sizes compatible <br />with the land uses that have been planned or exist along the edges of these roads. <br />The plan will also encourage local users and those that make short trips to use <br />these boulevards, rather that the highway system, leaving ramp and highway <br />capacity for those driving through the community on the state highways. <br />SECTION 6. HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS. <br />More than 60% of Roseville's housing stock is over 35 years of age; 67% is <br />occupied by the owner. The majority of the housing in Roseville (8,400 units or <br />55%) is single-family detached homes, while 32% is multi-family rental housing. <br />Turnover of ownership housing is less than 3% annually and rental housing <br />turnover is approximately 30% annually. Approximately 40% of the housing in <br />Roseville is considered "affordable" to a family of four. <br />�vh�le the majority of the housing is in good condition, there are some units that <br />need renovation or redevelopment. The City has stressed the need to maintain <br />the quality of its homes for this generation and future families with school age <br />children. There is a direct connection between quality housing, the number of <br />children in the community and the quality and funding of the school districts. <br />The City contracts for resident assistance in housing improvement services with <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan — 2001 Update Executive Summary -Page 7 of 15 <br />
