CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan <br /> • Lake Access, Preservation, and Management. Access to the Lake recognizes the <br /> value of the lake and reinforces the desire to protect its value to the community and the <br /> region. <br /> Funding is a key constraint that is acknowledged in the TPP. Current transportation revenue will <br /> not meet the region's transportation needs through 2040. As a result, the TPP includes two long- <br /> term investment scenarios: a fiscally-constrained scenario under current revenue, and an increased <br /> revenue scenario that identifies priorities should additional transportation funding become <br /> available. <br /> Under the current fiscally constrained revenue scenario, the TPP is focused on operations and <br /> maintenance of the existing transportation system. Investments in highway mobility and access are <br /> limited to those that address multiple TPP goals and objectives. <br /> The increased revenue scenario would allow additional investments in operations and <br /> maintenance, as well as regional mobility, access, safety, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. <br /> However, congestion cannot be greatly reduced under even the increased revenue scenario. Under <br /> both scenarios, proposed investments are focused on areas of the metro with the greatest existing <br /> and future challenges and anticipated growth. <br /> Orono's Place within the TPP <br /> Orono is classified by the Metropolitan Council under the Emerging Suburban Edge and Rural <br /> Residential community designations. The TPP does not include any planned regional investments <br /> in Orono. <br /> Density Allocation <br /> With two communities in one, rural and urban, Orono finds that higher density development sites <br /> are most appropriate adjacent to high volume transportation corridors, within MUSA, and near <br /> commercial services (employment, shopping, etc.) While historically located primarily in the <br /> Navarre area, additional appropriate sites were identified in the north Orono area, due in part to <br /> capacity and safety constraints of the County Road 15 and 19 intersection in Navarre. <br /> ROADWAYS <br /> The sections below provide information about the existing and future roadway system within Orono; <br /> including functional classification,jurisdictions, capacity, safety, access management, and maintenance. <br /> Functional Classification System <br /> The Functional Classification System organizes a roadway and street network that distributes traffic from <br /> local neighborhood streets to collector roadways, then to minor arterials and ultimately the principal <br /> arterial system. Roads are placed into categories based on the degree to which they provide access to <br /> adjacent land and mobility for through traffic. Functional classification gives an indication of the relative <br /> hierarchy of roadways in the transportation network. <br /> Four classes of roadways are included in the Seven-County Metropolitan Area functional classification <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 3 <br />
