The policy plans present strategies, <br />policies and methods designed to implement the regional goals. <br />The 2030 Transportation Policy Plan, adopted in 2004, addresses the <br />need to prepare for expected growth. Besides maintaining the road <br />system, the region is challenged to develop a variety of transit <br />options. For the first time, aviation is included in the transportation <br />policy plan. <br />The 2030 Water Resources Management Policy Plan, adopted in <br />2005, establishes policies to ensure the protection of water <br />resources as the region continues to grow. It focuses on assessing <br />the region's water supply, protecting surface water from pollution <br />and ensuring that wastewater flowing into sewer systems is treated <br />efficiently. <br />The 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan, adopted in 2005, recognizes <br />the need to maintain and expand the open spaces that promotes the <br />quality of life in the region. <br />The Council's sector representatives work closely with each <br />community as it prepares its comprehensive plan. They analyze <br />comprehensive plans and work with the local jurisdiction to ensure <br />the plan meets the applicable requirements of State Law and Council <br />policies. <br />http://www.metrocouncil.orq/plan <br />ni nq /transportation/TPP /2004 /su <br />mmary.htm <br />http://www.metrocouncil.orq/plan <br />ninq /environment/WRMPP /WRM <br />PP2005.htm <br />http://www.metrocouncil.orq/plan <br />ninq /parks /2005 /ParksPlan.htm <br />http://www.metrocouncil.orq/plan <br />ninWassistance/sectorreps.htm <br />June 2008 1 -4 <br />
