I am Roger Toogood. I have lived in Roseville since 1959. I was involved in
helping to get Central Park established and participated on the Vista 2000 task
force. I am the retired CEO of Children's Home Society of Mn. where I served
for 27 years.
I have served on the Board of the Roseville Citizens League for a number of
years and am the immediate past chair. I am pleased that Imagine Roseville 2025
is in process so we as a community will have a Strategic Plan in place. As a
Board member of the RCL I have been involved in a number of areas important to
the City. I volunteered for the Transportation sub- committee because of a long
standing interest in having our City streets improved from the perspective of
traffic flow as well as getting highway 36 upgraded from Interstate 35W to 35 E
from 2 lanes to 3 each way.
Other areas that are important to me are:
-#1- Economic Development
-#2- Environmental Matters
-#3- The changing population situation and its potential positive or negative
impact on the City.
-4- Housing
-5- Possible meager with Lauderdale and Falcon Heights
-6- Development of a City Center by tying Rosedale and Harmar together through
either a bridge over 36 or a tunnel.
-7- etc etc
