• Purpose of Plan Update This report summarizes the results of a comprehensive plan update for the City of Falcon Heights. The plan update included a review and evaluation of the following: • Transportation system. • Sanitary sewer system. • Storm water management. Water service is provided to Falcon Heights by St. Paul Regional Water Service. The system is already in place, and no expansion is anticipated over the life of this plan. The main purpose of the plan update was to evaluate the existing and future transportation and the sanitary sewer system needs of the City, as well as the infrastructure improvements and expansions necessary to serve the current and future residents. Also, a review and evaluation of the City's storm sewer system was completed and a storm water management plan was developed. The City's present and future needs have been evaluated and recommendations made for necessary improvements to maintain adequate service levels for the transportation, sanitary sewer, and storm water systems. This plan update will serve as a guide for future • infrastructure improvements for these three systems. Scope of Plan Update The approach used for this plan update started with an assessment of existing transportation, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer system condition and an evaluation of the City's needs. Current and future needs were evaluated over a 20+-year planning period extending to the year 2030. A review and evaluation of the existing transportation system is provided in Section 2. A review and evaluation of the existing sanitary sewer system is provided in Section 3, which also includes a summary of recommended sanitary sewer system improvements. A review and evaluation of the existing storm sewer system is provided in Section 4. A recommended storm water management plan is also provided in this section. Recommended Goals and Policies for the City are located at the end of each section. As a result of needs changing over time, the City's planning process for the transportation, sanitary sewer, and storm water management will be continuous. Long- term projections and improvements provided in this plan update should be reviewed, re- evaluated, and revised, as needed, to assure effective future planning efforts. Proper future planning will help assure that infrastructure improvements are coordinated and • constructed in the most effective manner.
