CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan <br /> Southern Lakeshore Roads <br /> The seasonal recreational uses that grew up along Orono's 40 miles of Lake Minnetonka shoreline a <br /> century ago resulted in a network of winding roads that commonly followed the center of the <br /> narrow peninsulas between bays, creating local road frontage for lakeshore lots while also often <br /> serving as the main road between settlements. A large number of these roads do not meet current <br /> road specifications as they are narrow, winding roads with steep slopes. <br /> Private Roads <br /> A private road is a privately owned and privately maintained road, located in the rural area or within <br /> a planned development that functions as a local access street. In order to curb maintenance <br /> expenses the city has, since the 1980s,maintained a policy that developments in Orono's rural area <br /> would be serviced by privately maintained roads. The city does require that the private roads are <br /> built to city standards and that the city is granted an underlying easement to ensure right of access. <br /> As a result Orono currently has 20 miles of privately owned and maintained roads. <br /> All urban properties should be directly served by the public street system. Rural properties should <br /> be served by private streets unless through streets. <br /> State Aid Roads <br /> To support the state's system of streets, roads and bridges, MnDOT distributes funds for highway <br /> maintenance and construction to counties, cities and townships based on a formula determined by <br /> the Legislature. The roads <br /> that are on the state aid system � ' ' 4A-4:MSA Roads �.,< , ;:iktw <br /> typically carry heavier traffic Name Description State Aid# <br /> volumes, connect major Willow Dr County Rd 6 to Fox St MSAS 101 <br /> points of interest, and provide Old Crystal Bay County Rd 6 to Fox St MSAS 102 <br /> an integrated and coordinated Rd <br /> road system.
