A new <br /> 2-lane limited access 'through' route paralleling Highway 12 from Orono's <br /> eastern border to the Co.Rd.6 intersection was completed and opened to traftic in <br /> December 2008,dramatieally decreasing the traffic levels on Old High�e�ay 12 and <br /> providing a more attractive alternative to County Road l� for commuters from <br /> Mound. Minnetrista and points west. Environmental and social pressw•es have <br /> permanently eliminated any plans for expansion of Count�° Road l� along the <br /> lakeshore. Orono will continue to promote and implement strategies to reroute <br /> traific away fi•om the lakeshore areas. <br /> Regional sewer service facilities plans�vere revised three decades ago in response <br /> to Oronds plans for low-density development. Original plans called for sewering <br /> all of Orono with capacity for 37,000 people. But the final Orono-Lone Lake <br /> Interceptor was relocated and is in place with a design capacity for less than 8.400 <br /> Orono residents and a limited service area. In the early 1980's. the Maple Plain <br /> Interceptor ��as similarly designed to provide only limited capacity for Orono. <br /> These capaeity limitations are consistent with Orono's em�ironmental concerns for <br /> the rw•al area and with MCES regional concerns including the limited design <br /> capacity and massive environmental discharge problems associated tiith the <br /> central sewage collection and treatment s��stems. <br /> Orono's commercial and economic development has always beeo centered in <br /> the historic town centers. The shopping, employment. education and social <br /> needs of Orono residents have been more than amply met by commercial facilities <br /> City of Orono Communih Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-12 <br />
