<br />City of Ramsey <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />Transportation Element <br /> <br />Goal 2: <br /> <br />Maintain a street system based on the section line grid, clearly <br />differentiated into minor arterials supported by a collector road system. <br /> <br />The efficiency of the road system will be maximized and land development will <br />be enhanced if roads are designed according to a hierarchal system <br />coordinated with the land use plan. <br /> <br />Ob1ectives <br /> <br />A. Provide easy access to and from commercial areas, malls, industrial parks, other land <br />uses, and the regional road system. <br /> <br />B. Provide roads to serve anticipated markets and growth areas. <br /> <br />C. Design the transportation system to preserve neighborhood integrity and safety. <br /> <br />D. Separate functions wherever possible with high volume, cross-town trips on high <br />capacity streets and low volume, circulating traffic and local trips on low capacity <br />streets. <br /> <br />E. Develop a safe, efficient and consistent system of arterials, collectors, and local/resi- <br />dential streets. <br /> <br />Goal 3: <br /> <br />Support and expand access to public transportation and other high <br />occupancy vehicles. <br /> <br />Public transportation is important in reducing dependence on the personal <br />automobile and for improving the movement of lower income people, the <br />elderly, and youths. <br /> <br />Objectives <br /> <br />A. Identify opportunities to increase use of transit, van pools, and car pools for <br />commuter work trips to and from the central cities and other locations. <br /> <br />Page 3-6 <br />
