City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />70 <br />Goal 2: Identify needed improvements to the various elements of the <br />transportation system to provide for safe and convenient movement by <br />all modes. <br />Policies: <br /> <br />a. Maintain transportation facilities to function in a manner compatible with adjacent land uses. <br />When the function of a transportation facility has changed over time to become incompatible <br />with adjacent land uses, a program to eliminate this incompatibility should be established. <br /> <br />b. Hazardous and poorly designed and controlled intersections shall be improved on a phased <br />basis to increase the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists alike. <br /> <br />c. Street safety shall be improved when appropriate, economically feasible and desirable by the <br />community utilizing improved street lighting, visibility improvements, sign controls, <br />elevated pedestrian walkways, traffic calming, and other methods. <br /> <br />d. Public signage shall be related to the overall system of street function and control. <br /> <br />e. Parking shall be limited or prohibited along principal and minor arterial roadways. <br /> <br />f. Establish and enforce standards and controls for business and advertising signage and <br />lighting in order to prevent driver distraction and potential hazards. <br /> <br />g. Encourage compliance with traffic laws by all modes of transportation. <br /> <br />Goal 3: Provide sufficient off-street parking to meet normal demands of all types <br />of land use. <br />Policies: <br /> <br />a. Parking facilities shall be developed so as to conserve land, promote joint use and <br />minimize conflicts with vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle traffic. <br /> <br />b. Minimize and reduce the demand and resulting requirements for parking through the <br />adequate provision of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and through land use development <br />coordination. <br /> <br />c. Parking requirements imposed by the City shall be constantly reviewed to ensure supply is <br />reflective of demand. <br /> <br />d. Minimize parking lot access to public streets to the functional minimum.
