r" <br />EXHIBIT D-11 Wording revisions to Page 4A-9, paragraphs 1 and 3 <br />(Summary of Existing Transportation Issues) <br />Along County Road 6, where commuter traffic has dramatically increased due to congestion on <br />Highway 12, the many individual driveway accesses as well as the numerous intersecting private and <br />public roads create multiple points of possible traffic conflict. The addition of turn lanes and bypass <br />lanes at minor certain intersections in recent years by Hennepin County has helped to keep traffic <br />moving. The primary intersection of concern is with County Road 6 at Willow Drivewhic h: Willow <br />Drive Actions as a minor arterial that connects from Highway 12 to County Road 24 and ultimately <br />to U.S. Highway 55 in Medina. <br />Turnback of current Highway 12 from MnDOT’s jurisdiction to that of Hennepin County is an <br />expected result of completion of the Highway 12 rerouting. Orono has begun the process of working <br />with the City of Long Lake, MnDOT and Hennepin County to plan for this turnback. This planning <br />process , which is underway as a joint effort of the Long Lake and Orono Planning Commissions, will <br />determine what needs to be done to Highway 12 to ensure it functions as a main street in a <br />pedestrian-friendly downtown area, while still serving as a minor arterial and providing access to <br />local businesses along the roadway. <br />^11 I I <1
