17 Goals for inclusive transportation are included in the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The non- motorized design vision states, “Accessibility is a very important consideration for non- motorized design. All new pedestrian and bicycle facilities must meet the ADA guidelines established in the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guide (PROWAG). The guidelines in PROWAG address the design needs of people with physical and/or visual impairments. Accessibility will become increasingly important over the next 20 years due to demographic changes. Baby Boomers are aging and the population over age 65 is increasing. People over 65 are more likely to have physical and/or visual impairments that affect their ability to get around.” The Pathway Master Plan recognizes that pathways must “Provide transportation facilities for all ages and abilities (children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, pedestrians, and bicyclists).” Civic Buildings Roseville City Hall is used for City Council meetings, meetings for city commissions and the Variance Board. No voting takes place at this City Hall. It is fully accessible by residents with mobility challenges including a speakers’ table on the main floor of the council chambers that enables wheelchair individuals to participate in the council and commissions and committees.

The Skating Center is also used for governmental and community large gatherings. Access is addressed in the Parks appendix. Voting Roseville votes at nine different locations for its ten precincts. One is the library and eight are local churches. One church is the location for two precincts. All locations have accessible parking spaces and meet the requirements for numbers of stalls and dimensions (width and slopes). Not all spaces have the required access aisles and may result in difficulties for voters, particularly if there is another event being held at that church on election day. Parks and Recreation Roseville maintains 32 parks, 679 acres of parkland and open space, and 67 miles of trails and walkways. According to the Roseville 2040 Comprehensive Plan “Beginning in 2010, Roseville has made major investments in the parks and recreation system, called the Roseville Park and Recreation Renewal Program (PRRP). This $19 million program added improved and/or replaced amenities, including selective land acquisitions, new park buildings, playgrounds, natural resource restoration, trails and pathways, and other facilities. It touched every park in the
