Funding is a key constraint that is acknowledged in the TPP. Current transportation revenue <br />will not meet the region's transportation needs through 2040. As a result, the TPP includes two <br />long-term investment scenarios: a fiscally -constrained scenario that identifies projects <br />anticipated to be funded based on current revenue projections, and an increased revenue <br />scenario that identifies project priorities should additional transportation funding become <br />available. <br />Under the current revenue scenario, the TPP is focused on operations and maintenance of the <br />existing transportation system. Investments in highway mobility and access are limited to those <br />projects that address multiple TPP goals and objectives. The increased revenue scenario would <br />allow additional investments in operations and maintenance, as well as regional mobility, <br />access, safety, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. However, congestion cannot be greatly <br />reduced under even the increased revenue scenario. Under both scenarios, proposed <br />investments are focused on areas of the metro with the greatest existing and future challenges <br />and anticipated growth. <br />The Metropolitan Council classifies Ramsey under the Emerging Suburban Edge Community <br />Designation. Based on Thrive MSP 2040, Emerging Suburban Edge areas are expected to plan for <br />forecasted population and household growth at average densities of at least three to five units <br />per acre for new development and redevelopment. These communities are also expected to <br />target opportunities for more intensive development near regional transit investments. <br />Chapter X- Transportation (DRAFT) Page X-4 <br />Adopted XXXXXXX XX, 2017 <br />
