CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan <br /> Minor Arterials <br /> The minor arterial system supplements the principal arterial system and provides <br /> connections to the principal arterial system. Minor arterials also support access to major <br /> traffic generators, including regional job concentrations and freight terminals,and between <br /> rural centers within and just outside the region. Access points along minor arterials are <br /> generally at-grade and typically controlled with signals or stop signs. The Metropolitan <br /> Council has established a system of "A" Minor and Other Minor arterials. "A" Minor <br /> arterials are eligible for federal funding administered by the Metropolitan Council. The <br /> Metropolitan Council has further split"A"Minor arterials into four types,described below. <br /> The City has threeene(3-1-) miles of minor arterial roads. <br /> • <br /> A Minor Arterials Other <br /> Relievers Augmenters Expanders Connectors <br /> Purpose Provide Supplement Supplement the Provide safe, These <br /> supplementary the principal principal arterial direct roadways <br /> capacity for arterial system system in less connections connect major <br /> congested, in more densely between rural traffic <br /> parallel densely developed or centers and to generators in <br /> principal developed or redeveloping principal arterials the region. <br /> arterial redeveloping areas in rural areas Other arterials <br /> areas without adding are not eligible <br /> continuous for federal <br /> general purpose funding <br /> lane capacity <br /> Hennepin CSAH 112 CSAH 6 CSAH 6 (West Willow Drive <br /> County CSAH 15 of McCulley N(N of <br /> System CSAH 19 (S of Rd) CSAH 6) <br /> 15) CSAH 19 (N <br /> of CSAH 15) <br /> Orono McCulley Road <br /> System <br /> Collector Streets <br /> Collector streets provide linkages to larger developments and community amenities. They <br /> generally do not link communities to one another. Collector streets generally favor access <br /> to the system over mobility, but try to balance the two competing needs. These roadways <br /> are generally lower speed than the principal or minor arterial routes. They are usually <br /> owned and operated by cities,although counties operate some of these facilities. Orono has <br /> 20 miles of Collector Streets. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 6 <br />
