<br />City of Ramsey <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />Transportation Element <br /> <br />To address these questions, transportation goals were developed to guide the analysis of issues, <br />generate and refine alternatives, and identify appropriate evaluation criteria. The goals are broad <br />and general statements that are derived from the Planning Commission's and community members' <br />overall vision for the community and specific vision for the transportation system. In total four <br />goals were developed to address: <br /> <br />. Overall vehicular mobility <br />. Physical street network <br />. Mass transportation and travel demand management <br />. Pedestrian and bicycle transportation modes <br /> <br />Goal 1: <br /> <br />Achieve ease of movement through the City and among the neighborhoods <br /> <br />Ease of access determines how land may be used and its value along with the <br />degree of convenience motorists will experience in their daily travel movements. <br />Good vehicular movement is a key to economic development. Commercial <br />vehicles must be able to access places of business and the metropolitan highway <br />system with as little impact as possible on streets that serve residential land use <br />and non-business traffic. <br /> <br />Obiectives <br /> <br />A Develop a transportation system to move people to and through the City and among its <br />neighborhoods and subareas in a safe and convenient manner. <br /> <br />B. Develop a transportation system to move commercial vehicles to places of business while <br />affording them convenient access to the metropolitan highway system. <br /> <br />C. Coordinate the transportation system with the land use plan, allowing sound land use <br />decisions, rather than road alignments, to be the base-line determinant in the City's <br />development. <br /> <br />D. Improve inteIjurisdictional transportation planning to facilitate cooperation with <br />neighboring municipalities and townships. <br /> <br />Page 3-6 <br />
