Public Realm Landscaping <br />Ramsey is committed to growing its boulevard/street tree program. A well designed urban forest addresses <br />several of the key imperatives that were identified throughout the public engagement process. Boulevard <br />trees aid with reducing stormwater runoff (improved water quality and increased infiltration). As Ramsey <br />continues to develop, it will inevitably result in a greater number of vehicles on the roads. Boulevard trees <br />will help filter out pollutants and other particulates from the air while also having a traffic calming effect. <br />Boulevard trees also add economic and aesthetic value to neighborhoods and commercial districts. <br />University of Minnesota Resilient Communities Project <br />During the 2017-2018 Academic School Year, Ramsey partnered with the University of Minnesota's Resilient <br />Communities Project (RCP) to advance resilience planning and goals. A summary of the projects evaluated <br />during the academic year is found below. Project reports are available upon requests. Many of the <br />recommendations from the RCP partnership are integrated into this document's goals and implementation <br />strategies. <br />RESILIENT COMMUNITIES PROJECT <br />What is the Resilient Communities Projects <br />TM1c Rcsi sent Communities Project (RCP) is a cross disciplinary program atihc <br />University of Minnesota whose mission rs to connect communities in Minnesota <br />with university raculty and WLudenM to advance Ioeal sosheinehility end resilience <br />through collaborative, course• based projects.
