City of Ramsey _- 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update herein reflects the cost savings realized by having the majority of community engagement activities conducted in a separate process. Several specific issues will need to be addressed in the Ramsey comprehensive plan update to meet Metropolitan Council requirements, as detailed in the 2005 System Statement. These r. include: • A planned crossing of the Mississippi River near Dayton and Ramsey. Specific alignments are not finalized and funding is not in place to complete the project prior to 2030, but the general location of this crossing must be shown in local comprehensive plans until a final alignment is chosen. • Ramsey is now being served by transit through Metro Transit and the "Ramsey Star Express" route; this and other transit service expansions should be identified consistent with the regional policy plan. Because Ramsey is located along the Northstar Commuter Rail Line, the comprehensive plan should identify opportunities to promote higher density initiatives along this and other identified dedicated transit corridors. • The inclusion of a sewer map showing the City's existing service area and proposed trunk sewer system through 2030 and ultimate sewer service area; a table showing the projected population, households, employment, and flow forecasts by interceptor for the City for 2010, 2020, and 2030; and a description of the City's infiltration/inflow program. • A review of the local surface water management plan relative to the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Plan and the Water Resources Management Policy Plan with updates and/or revisions as necessary. ,-. • The boundary of the Rum River Regional Park is partially located in Ramsey; the 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan includes a park boundary adjustment for this facility to protect regionally significant natural resource areas with significant recreation potential that are adjacent to the park. Any change to the park boundary will be identified as the Anoka County Park System Plan is updated; if any portion of the park boundary within the City of Ramsey is changed as a result, this change should be reflected in the comprehensive plan. • The Mississippi West Regional Park boundary within the City of Ramsey should be acknowledged in the comprehensive plan, as well as the general alignment of the Anoka County segment of the Mississippi River Regional Trail and the Central Anoka County Regional Trail.
