Transportation
With four freeways and four County roads all running through and around the heart of the community, Richfield is in a unique position for a city of its size. Maintaining a safe, multi-modal transportation system is critical for the well-being of Richfield residents and businesses. This is completed in a variety of ways:
- Installing and maintaining adequate traffic control
- Consideration of all modes through bicycle and pedestrian planning
- Innovative street design such as roundabouts and 4-to-3 lane conversion
- Regional planning and coordination with other agencies such as MN/DOT and Hennepin County
- Involvement by residents and business owners through the Transportation Commission
- Implementation of the Complete Streets Policy
