On March 13,the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee met to prepare for the April 10 Community Workshop. This workshop will focus on the following two (2)topics: 1. Transportation Plan 2. Parks and Recreation Plan Attached to this case are materials/working documents to be presented at the public workshop. Observations/Alternatives: Transportation Plan During the months of February and March, Staff,the Transportation Plan Consulting Team (WSB Associates), Anoka County Highway, and MnDOT have been collaborating and working through comprehensive transportation planning issues leading up to this stage of the Comprehensive Plan Update. The attached map represents the work of this collaboration and direction provided by the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee. The intent is to allow participants in the transportation planning process to mark up the map and provide feedback on potential ideas. The workshop will also include a review of existing goals and strategies related to this Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. These goals and strategies are carry over from the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The Steering Committee recommended that 1)these goals be presented in their current form,with update commentary provided by City Staff, 2) Staff compile feedback from the workshop and other community engagement processes; and 3) Staff recommend revisions to goals and strategies based on that feedback for further review. Parks and Recreation Plan The City's Parks and Recreation Team has been completing a work order request to complete this task. Please note - there are two components to the Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan. Part 1 is the minimum requirements of State Statute Chapter 473 for comprehensive planning in the metropolitan area. Part 2 is related to the City's Strategic Plan Initiative to provide a robust recreation program in the community, and is much broader than the minimum requirements of the Comprehensive Plan Update. Similar to the Transportation Plan process,working maps and analysis of goals and strategies will be the focus of the April 10 Workshop.Note -the planning map attached is an example only that will be cleaned up prior to the
