Action Current Status Discuss incentivizing residents to use alternative modes of transportation by zoning for limited parking at facilities and event spaces that have sufficient pedestrian infrastructure connecting to existing nearby parking. 1. May be a component of our Active Transportation Plan (education/outreach) 2. Case by case consideration for each development Develop a bike and pedestrian plan to develop specific goals and infrastructure opportunities and participate in regional planning initiatives.* Participating in MnDOT's Active Transportation Planning grant program this year. A consultant is being provided to assist with developing an AT plan. Staff have been meeting with consultants monthly, local planning team kick-off took place in early July. Action Current Status Consider adopting a policy on publicly-facing charging infrastructure. Determine the most effective locations for EV charging stations at public facilities in SAV. Integrate predicted installation expenses into the budget. Identify a vendor and develop an installation plan. A policy for this would be separate from the multi-use ordinance in the action shown on the next slide. Staff have had internal discussions to discuss inclusion of EV charging infrastructure in future infrastructure plans for City Hall and other potential locations within the City. If considering partnerships with privately owned facilities accessible to the public, this would take longer-term planning. Consider adopting a policy encouraging or requiring new multi-use developments to install EV infrastructure. City Council work session happened in Nov 2024 where an initial discussion took place about what an EV ordinance could look like, how it would apply, and other Council preferences. Planning Commission has reviewed this draft ordinance language several times, most recently during July meeting. PEC has also had the chance to review and provide input. City Council will have a more dedicated review of this ordinance language at a future date. Action Current Status Collaborate with Metro Transit on public transit planning, trends, and options for future services to advance goals in this plan.* Staff has been in contact with Metro Transit regarding BRT opportunities and Kenzie Terrace. In April, Metro Transit hosted planning level workshops to identify future BRT routes. The City does not have the final say on any plans but will continue to advocate with the Counties and Met Council to consider inclusion of services in/through Saint Anthony. Collaborate with local schools and businesses to redesign drop-off and pick-up areas, and install signage to encourage drivers to limit idling.* Staff are working on overall strategy for establishing contact with schools and businesses to propose these changes that make sense for the nature of their facility. The Active Transportation Planning Process may provide the opportunity to start these conversations with the school district. There will also be an opportunity for public education about idling behaviors. PEC may be interested in engaging with those efforts.
