Introduction <br />For over 10 years, Active Living Ramsey Communities, with all of its community <br />partners, has facilitated change to create environments that make it safe and easy <br />for people of all ages and abilities to be physically active in their daily routine. <br />Active Living Ramsey Communities encourages healthy lifestyles by bringing <br />people and resources together to build active, bikeable and walkable communities. <br />Their vision and collaborative efforts inform all aspects of this plan and support <br />active transportation in Ramsey County. <br />This plan is a resource and a framework for development of a connected Ramsey <br />County where communities and residents are engaged in the process of building a <br />great place for walking and bicycling. <br />This is not a typical plan focused on specific projects for an individual jurisdiction, <br />but rather a set of tools, analyses and actions to engage community members at <br />all levels in supporting a place where people of all ages and abilities can safely and <br />comfortably walk and bicycle. <br />Active Living Ramsey Communities Background <br />State, county, municipality, school, business, health care and nonprofit <br />representatives, community groups and local residents came together to create <br />Active Living Ramsey Communities in December of 2004. Community engagement <br />formed the core of the organization's mission. The organization promotes and <br />creates environments that make it safe and easy for everyone to integrate physical <br />activity into their daily routine. <br />The graphic below illustrates many highlights of Active Living Ramsey Communities <br />accomplishments over the past ten years. <br />1-2 I CONTEXT & VISION <br />
