Rice County is A BC DE <br /> located south of and immediately adjacent to the 7-County ""<-- WEB <br /> i s F <br /> Metropolitan Area. Likewise, it has experienced significant N ` tE--` <br /> residential development pressure. I l ''a, '' <br /> i :"i r. 'r <br /> ink <br /> ,.� Most of the travel through the County has historically relied P �0 'mot <br /> on the State highway system. The County highway system has .411i Film <br /> primarily served inter-county and local trips, as well as local ► t". =��`r�''' <br /> •� land access, and lacks continuity to accommodate longer trips. Fe ,'�i9 U <br /> Today,the transportation system has increasing safety * <br /> problems and reduced capacity. To address these problems, T ` ■ <br /> ^ Rice County embarked on developing their first countywide <br /> �-. Transportation Plan. Countywide Roadway Continuity Vision <br /> Bolton&Menk's approach was to develop objectives to serve as the basis for developing system <br /> continuity. The result is a long-term(post 2025)roadway Continuity Corridor Vision that provides a <br /> ^ foundation to preserve corridors for future improvements, prioritizes investments, and serves as a guide for <br /> continued development of the transportation system. <br /> This Transportation Plan provides a unique planning tool for landowners, developers, cities and townships, <br /> and the County. Often times, many plans fall short when growth does not occur in the areas anticipated,or <br /> growth exceeds projections. As a result,thetypical 20-year transportationplan doesn't identify system <br /> P j P fY Y <br /> needs over the long term, and opportunities are often lost. The Bolton&Menk planning effort for Rice <br /> County, however, will be sustained and will provide an important basis for making decisions, <br /> synchronizing planning efforts,evaluating development proposals and preserving corridors for future <br /> improvements. <br /> Proposal for Professional Planning and Engineering Services Section 1 - 7 <br /> 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Submitted by: <br /> City of Ramsey, Minnesota NAC and Bolton&Menk <br />
