Transit Market Area IV has lower concentrations of population and employment and a higher rate of auto ownership. It is primarily composed of Suburban Edge and Emerging Suburban Edge communities. This market can support peak -period express bus services if a sufficient concentration of commuters likely to use transit service is located along a corridor. The low-density development and suburban form of development presents challenges to fixed -route transit. General public dial -a -ride services are appropriate in Market Area IV. The three primary routes serving Orono are Express Route 67-5-645 and 677, which provide express service to downtown from the Mound, Navarre and Wayzata commercial areas along County Road 15, and Express Route 674 which provides similar express service to western and central Orono, Long Lake and Wayzata. The TPP's Transit Investment Plan does not show any transitway investments planned for Orono in the Current Revenue Scenario. (See Map 4A-7).To expand the reach of these fixed routes, the City will promote dial a ride services throughout the city. The Transportation Policy Plan discusses the expansion of Transit Advantages, though none are expressly identified within Orono boundaries. Given the limited right of way and the growing congestion of County Road 15 through Navarre, improvements and programs to expand Transit Advantage in the area should be closely considered. FR F, ThNT Freight transportation in Orono is primarily served by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line parallel to US 12. There are no freight facilities within Orono. The BNSF rail line does not cross any roadways within the City. There are no large freight traffic generators within the City. Most truck and rail traffic is passing through Orono on trips to, from, and through the Twin Cities. Heavy truck traffic is for the most part constrained to roads under Hennepin County and State Jurisdiction. (See Map 4A-8) The development of the lake areas in Orono as seasonal recreational in the late 1800s early 1900's established many of the transportation patterns found throughout the community. In the lake areas, this pattern led to roads that are substandard to today's standards. Local residential roads are not designed for heavy freight movement. As the City expands its maintenance program, improvements to turning radii, width, and stormwater retention are considered. There are no known locations where truck access is not available.
