93 <br />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 an additional river crossing, 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 Table <br />8. <br />Conclusion and Next Steps <br />The purpose of this Transportation Plan is to set a multimodal transportation vision for the City of <br />Ramsey through the year 2040. Goals and specific strategies have been identified collaboratively by <br />the city, Anoka County, MnDOT, and members of the public within the framework of Metropolitan <br />Council requirements. The vision and associated strategies outlined in this Plan were established by <br />considering existing and forecasted conditions, City of Ramsey priorities, regional travel patterns <br />and a variety of other factors. <br />As the owners of the transportation network in Ramsey (i.e. City of Ramsey, Anoka County, MnDOT, <br />Metro Transit, and the BNSF railway) advance their respective Capital Improvement Programs <br />(CIPs), this Plan is intended to serve as an important resource and reference in establishing <br />priorities and advancing transportation projects for implementation. Advancing these projects from <br />a planning to implementation phase will require collaborative discussions among facility owners, <br />adjacent communities, the Metropolitan Council, residents and others to conduct traffic studies, <br />finalize designs, preserve rights -of -way, obtain environmental clearances and leverage necessary <br />financial resources. Figure 15 on the following page outlines the entire planning and project <br />development process required for transportation projects from concept plans to construction <br />implementation. <br />Cily of RAMSEY <br />August 2018 Draft <br />Comprehensive Plan 2040 <br />
