CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan <br /> any specific regional mobility improvements on this highway, including expansion of any <br /> lanes, although maintenance and preservation investments will be made on all highways. <br /> Highway 12 is currently 2 lanes, in the "Super Two" Concept. The lanes are separated by <br /> a concrete barrier to address safety concerns raised in the last 10 years. <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 three (3) miles of minor arterial roads. <br /> :41r VC.f 1:tt 441 <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(3 CSAH 6 (2 CSAH 6 (West CSAH 19 (N <br /> County Lanes) Lanes) of McCulley of CSAH 15; <br /> System CSAH 15 (2 Rd, 2 Lanes) 2 Lanes) <br /> Lanes) <br /> CSAH 19 (S of <br /> 15, 2 Lanes) <br /> Orono McCulley Road <br /> System (2 Lanes) <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 5 <br />
