Transit Market Area IV has lower concentrations of <br /> population and employment and a higher rate of auto ownership. It is primarily composed of Suburban <br /> Edge and Emerging Suburban Edge communities. This market can support peak-period express bus <br /> services if a sufficient concentration of commuters likely to use transit service is located along a corridor. <br /> The low-density development and suburban form of development presents challenges to fixed-route <br /> transit. General public dial-a-ride services are appropriate in Market Area IV. The three primary routes <br /> serving Orono are Express Route 645 and 677, which provide express service to downtown from the <br /> Mound, Navarre and Wayzata commercial areas along County Road 15, and Express Route 674 which <br /> provides similar express service to western and central Orono,Long Lake and Wayzata. The TPP's Transit <br /> Investment Plan does not show any transitway investments planned for Orono in the Current Revenue <br /> Scenario. (See Map 4A-7).To expand the reach of these fixed routes, the City will promote dial a ride <br /> services throughout the city. <br /> The Transportation Policy Plan discusses the expansion of Transit Advantages,though none are expressly <br /> identified within Orono boundaries. Given the limited right of way and the growing congestion of County <br /> Road 15 through Navarre, improvements and programs to expand Transit Advantage in the area should <br /> be closely considered. <br /> FREIGHT <br /> Freight transportation in Orono is primarily served by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line <br /> parallel to US 12. There are no freight facilities within Orono. The BNSF rail line does not cross any <br /> roadways within the City. There are no large freight traffic generators within the City.Most truck and rail <br /> traffic is passing through Orono on trips to, from, and through the Twin Cities. Heavy truck traffic is for <br /> the most part constrained to roads under Hennepin County and State Jurisdiction. (See Map 4A-8) <br /> The development of the lake areas in Orono as seasonal recreational in the late 1800s early 1900's <br /> established many of the transportation patterns found throughout the community. In the lake areas, this <br /> pattern led to roads that are substandard to today's standards. Local residential roads are not designed for <br /> heavy freight movement. As the City expands its maintenance program, improvements to turning radii, <br /> width, and stormwater retention are considered. There are no known locations where truck access is not <br /> available. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 20 <br />
