<br /> <br />10. Public Comments <br />The city held a workshop to gather public input on the transportation plan. At this workshop, <br />members of the public identified issues and opportunities related to transportation as well was <br />parks, trails, and recreation. A wide range of topics was raised, including roadway speeds, <br />pedestrian safety, congestion, enforcement of speeding/stop signs, general support for trails, <br />support for additional river crossings, and a request for a new east/west road connection in the <br />community. These comments were compiled and used to inform the strategies identified in <br />. <br />Table 8 <br />11. Conclusion and Next Steps <br />The purpose of this Transportation Plan is to set a multimodal transportation vision for the City <br />of Ramsey through the year 2040. Goals and specific strategies have been identified <br />collaboratively by the city, Anoka County, MnDOT, and members of the public within the <br />framework of Metropolitan Council requirements. The vision and associated strategies outlined <br />in this Plan were established by considering existing and forecasted conditions, City of Ramsey <br />priorities, regional travel patterns and a variety of other factors. <br />As the owners of the transportation network in Ramsey (i.e. City of Ramsey, Anoka County, <br />MnDOT, Metro Transit, and the BNSF railway) advance their respective Capital Improvement <br />Programs (CIPs), this Plan is intended to serve as an important resource and reference in <br />establishing priorities and advancing transportation projects for implementation. Advancing <br />these projects from a planning to implementation phase will require collaborative discussions <br />among facility owners, adjacent communities, the Metropolitan Council, residents and others to <br />conduct traffic studies, finalize designs, preserve rights-of-way, obtain environmental <br />clearances and leverage necessary financial resources. on the following page outlines <br />Figure 14 <br />the entire planning and project development process required for transportation projects from <br />concept plans to construction implementation. <br />Chapter X Transportation (DRAFT) Page X-50 <br />Adopted XXXXXXXX XX, 2017 <br /> <br />
