Actions: <br />► Communication: Begin an ongoing dialogue with Roseville to arrive at a common <br />vision for the future of Rice Street and work together toward implementation of that <br />vision. <br />► Common development patterns: Work with the City of Roseville to create common <br />development patterns on both sides of Rice Street. <br />► Compatible street access: Insure that local streets intersecting with Rice Street are <br />compatible with traffic patterns in the other community. <br />► Pedestrian links: There are many residents in Roseville who live within convenient <br />walking distance of Rice Street commercial nodes. Encourage pedestrian activity by <br />providing convenient walkways and bikeways which stretch into the neighborhoods. <br />To focus investment, use the 1/4 mile average walking distance as the rule of thumb for <br />sidewalk extension. <br />• Common Rice Street streetscape: Rice Street can present a unified image if Little <br />Canada, Roseville and Ramsey County work as partners to construct sidewalks and <br />streetscape improvements. <br />• Pedestrian crossings: Work with Roseville and Ramsey County to insure that Rice <br />Street pedestrian crossings are well marked and frequent enough to encourage residents <br />to use them. Also, traffic lights should have sufficient walk times to allow children and <br />the elderly enough time to cross safely. <br />Financial Implications: There are no specific financial implications of this action. Projects <br />resulting from these steps may produce activities that require funding consideration. <br />Time Frame: On- going. <br />lIncorporate the Development Guide into the Comprehensive Plan <br />Rationale: The Comprehensive Plan is the primary planning document for the City. The Rice <br />Street - Little Canada Road Area is an important part of the City. The implementation of the <br />Development Guide offers significant implications for the future of the community. <br />The City is in the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan. The process used to create the <br />Development Guide complements the updating of the Comprehensive Plan by looking in <br />greater detail at an important portion of the City.
