I <br />I <br />I <br />THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN <br />Orono's location on the perimeter of the Metropolitan Urban Sen'ice Area has <br />pretty well dictated that our Transportation Plan will be essentially a plan for <br />streets and roads. Orono has no planning needs for airports and has little planning <br />requirement for mass transit. The principal need is a plan to provide for local <br />movement between residential neighborhoods and commercial centers, and for <br />efficient commuter movement away from the congested, environmentally sensitive <br />lakeshore. <br />The principle components of Orono's Transportation Plan are as follows; <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />Developing the Ring Route concept including designation of collectors <br />and minor arterials to direct traffic away from Lake Minnetonka. <br />Developing the Scenic Parkway concept including designation of <br />parkways for slow-spced recreational access along the Lake Minnetonka <br />shoreline and other scenically attractive routes. <br />Developing the Private Road concept for access to low density rural <br />residential properties. <br />Promoting reasonable levels of public transit service for Orono’s <br />urban neighborhoods including maintenance ot the existing MTC bus <br />routes and investigation of alternative public transit modes for commuter <br />travel to the center of the Twin Cities region. <br />PRIMARY CORRIDORS <br />(Draft discussion in regards to issues/policies regarding each ol the following 3 <br />corridors) <br />County Road 15 <br />Old Highway 12 <br />The Ring Route <br />CMP 4A - 18
