City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br /> Introduction <br /> The roadway system in Mounds View is in place.The system consists of state and county roads that <br /> function as principal and minor arterials and county and city roads which function as collector and <br /> local roads. County Highway 10 runs diagonally through the middle of Mounds View and has <br /> historically been viewed as a barrier in the community.The jurisdiction of County Highway 10 was <br /> turned back from the state (MnDOT)to Ramsey County in 2000. While the City of Mounds View <br /> acknowledges the importance of the County Highway 10 corridor for moving traffic, the City has <br /> determined that there is an excessive amount of right-of-way being maintained for County Highway <br /> 10. The City will develop a design theme to enhance the image of the County Highway 10 corridor <br /> and work with the county to implement it.The City will also work with Ramsey County to develop <br /> a plan that makes more efficient use of the right-of-way in the future when County Highway 10 is <br /> reconstructed. The emphasis in the future on local roads will be on road maintenance and <br /> replacement as necessary.Emphasis will also be placed on minimizing traffic levels as necessary in <br /> residential neighborhoods. <br /> The trail and pathway system is incomplete. The City will need to identify preferred future trail and <br /> pathway locations and construct them over time to provide recreational opportunities and a safe <br /> alternative travel mode to the automobile. <br /> Goals and Policies <br /> The following are the transportation goals and policies for the City of Mounds View: <br /> Goal 1: Develop a balanced surface transportation system giving attention to all <br /> modes and related facilities. <br /> Policies: <br /> a. Treat all modes of transportation and facilities related to each as one system to be <br /> coordinated and related on a comprehensive basis. <br /> b. The system will facilitate transportation to and from centers of activity within the <br /> community. <br /> c. Minimize unnecessary traffic flow in residential neighborhoods. <br /> 69 <br />
