2008 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chapter 6: Transportation 6-4 <br />d. The City will work with the Metropolitan Council Transit Organization (MCTO) and other <br />agencies and organizations to provide more and better transit service in Mounds View. The <br />improvements should include having transit service within reasonable walking distance to <br />every resident of the city and to increase transit ridership. <br /> <br />e. Encourage the MCTO to implement an intra-suburban transit plan. <br /> <br /> <br />Goal 4: Continue implementing a comprehensive trail system to provide safe and <br />convenient pedestrian and bicycle circulation and recreational <br />opportunities. <br />Policies: <br /> <br />a. The City will consider pedestrian/bicycle corridors on minor arterial and collector roadways <br />(including the County Highway 10 corridor) to facilitate safer pedestrian travel. <br /> <br />b. The City will continue developing a trailway system connecting residential areas to key <br />destinations in and around the city. This system should be a network of pedestrian routes <br />between areas where residents live and locations such as stores, restaurants, entertainment and <br />the community center. <br /> <br />c. Develop a trail system suitable for short and long distance recreational use that connects with <br />existing and future trail systems. <br /> <br />d. The City will make accommodations to facilitate safe pedestrian and bicycle crossings at <br />intersections with clearly marked crosswalks, adequate lighting, proper timing of traffic <br />signals, and other safety enhancement features. <br /> <br />e. The City shall plan special provisions for pedestrian and bicycle access and circulation in <br />areas adjoining schools, parks, churches, service centers, industrial centers, and commercial <br />centers. <br /> <br />f.

Enhance the navigation of trails and sidewalks with attractive, pedestrian-scale signage that <br />points users to potential destinations. <br /> <br />h. Encourage the installation of secure bicycle parking opportunities throughout the city.
