The housing within the community is <br />well-maintained and meets the physical needs of residents. <br /> <br />Protect and enhance convenience and mobility. <br /> <br />Plymouth values the convenience and mobility provided by the community's strategic <br />geographic location in the metropolitan area. Several key highways run through the <br />community and provide direct access to the regional transportation system. The layout of <br />the community affords convenient access to goods and services within the community. <br />The trail system and public transportation provide usable alternative modes of <br />transportation. The mix of housing and business within the community allows residents <br />to live near their place of employment. <br /> <br />Promote and strengthen economic vitality. <br /> <br />Plymouth values the strong economy and diverse tax base within the community, which <br />includes high quality commercial and industrial development to complement the <br />residential development. The diversity of development within the community results in a <br />balanced tax base, maintenance of high property values and a wide variety of <br />employment opportunities. <br /> <br />Provide high quality City services and facilities. <br /> <br />Plymouth values both the facilities and services provided by the City. The park and trail <br />systems contribute to the quality of life and sense of open space within the community. <br />Other City facilities and services, such as public safety, public works, recycling and long- <br />term planning also contribute to a high quality of life. The City is well-governed and <br />well-managed, and both residents and businesses look forward to a continued high level <br />of community-based services. The community will continue to be responsive to the <br />emerging trends and changing needs of its residents and businesses. <br /> <br />Enhance and strengthen the sense of community. <br /> <br />Plymouth values the sense of community in Plymouth. People are connected to the <br />community, want to continue to strengthen this sense of place, are involved in <br />community life (government, religious institutions, schools, recreation, arts and volunteer <br />efforts) and are able to bridge physical barriers to come together. There is a pride in the <br />community that will be made stronger as the community matures. <br /> <br />Plymouth Policy Plan - August 8, 2000 3 - 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
