GENERAL <br />The Minnesota State Aid System was established in Orono <br />in 1962. The criteria generally used in establishing the <br />system was to designate those streets which: <br />1) <br />2) <br />Carry relatively heavier traffic volumes. <br />Connect points of major traffic use within a <br />municipality. <br />Provide a connection with routes of community <br />Interest and carry major traffic into and through <br />the municipality. <br />Form a system which will effectively carry traffic <br />within the municipality. <br />Based on this criteria, the State Aid System provides <br />an integrated system of streets and forms the basis for a <br />long range street Improvement program. <br />At the present time the onl^ streets in Orono on the <br />MSA System are Old Crystal Bay Road and Willow Drive. <br />The primary function of the Ring Route is to relieve <br />m <br />traffic on *'*'?.nty Road No. 15 by providing an alternate <br />route that extends from the downtown area of Mound to County <br />Road No. 6 and U.S. Highway 12. <br />Several years ago the Hennepin County Highway Department <br />proposed widening County Road 15 from Mound to Wayzata <br />-1- <br />iV.A • <br />■ <br />t-#:- <br />tM. <br />-I*/ ** <br />Mn- <br />mf:-Nvi::r*<-V <br />f <br />fe-. <br />. ! <br />i
