MEN�•F Y awe <br />1 <br />:1e10 67l61:areIRe <br />The New Brighton 2040 Transportation Chapter is meant as a framework to guide <br />the maintenance and development of road, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities <br />in the City of New Brighton. The Chapter is necessary to ensure that the City's <br />transportation system best accommodates the present and future mobility, access, <br />and safety needs for all of its users. <br />The Chapter aims to position the City's transportation system within a regional <br />context, putting emphasis on the ability of residents to stay connected to their <br />community, the capacity of business districts to attract new companies, and the ability <br />of all users to move smoothly and safely throughout the community. <br />TRANSPORTATION <br />FRAMEWORK <br />While this plan is meant to guide transportation planning in the City of New <br />Brighton, it is also intended to fit strategically into the regional vision laid out by the <br />Metropolitan Council. Minnesota State law requires that the Council create regional <br />plans and policies to guide growth and manage regional systems for transportation, <br />aviation, water resources, and regional parks. The Metropolitan Council adopted the <br />2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) in January 2015. The TPP establishes a vision <br />for the metro region over the next 20 years and provides guidance on how this vision <br />will be reached. <br />Ultimately, the content of this chapter supports the policies and strategies outlined in <br />the TPP that will help the region realize its vision in the coming decades. <br />Transportation Framework <br />Pedestrians and Bicycles <br />Transit <br />Roadways <br />Aviation <br />Freight <br />Transportation 6-81 <br />
