Road conditions, crash rates and safety
Summary
About 17% of county roads are in poor condition; the goal is 12% by 2030. Ramsey County historically had the second-highest county road crash rate in Minnesota, and investments like the Rice Street rebuild — which had the county's highest crash rate — aim to bring it down.

Impact analysis
Maintaining good pavement is far cheaper than rebuilding poor roads, and the county is buying 9,000 tons of salt (~$600,000) this winter.
Every driver, cyclist, and pedestrian on county roads — safer designs and smoother pavement.
