ORONO <br />HOCKEY BOOSTERS, INC. <br />BOX 205 <br />LONG LAKE. MN 55356 <br />May 7, 1996 <br />Ms. Karin Zeeb <br />2905 6th Avenue North <br />Long Lake MN 55356 <br />Re: Orono Ice Arena <br />Dear Karin: <br />I am following up on the topics that we discussed <br />at our meeting on April 20, and have the following to <br />report: <br />Highway 6 <br />I spoke with Dave Setterstrom, an engineer in the <br />Hennepin County transportation department. <br />Dave reported that the department at this point <br />has no plans for County 6 through Orono, and is not now <br />reviewing any issues with respect to that road. <br />He said that when traffic counts reach 5,000 <br />vehicles per day on a given road, the department will <br />start to look at the situation. By his records, the <br />latest count (1994) for County 6 between Homestead <br />Trail and Highway 12 is 4,050 cars. He did not say <br />when the traffic count might be studied again. <br />The surface of the road is in good shape, and, <br />according to Dave, the classification of the road as a <br />rural highway and its 55 mph speed limit are <br />appropriate. The department views the ice arena as a <br />low traffic use, and the arena does not generate <br />concerns for the department. <br />rinally, Dave said that the County has scheduled <br />some work on Highway 6 near the County line in <br />Independence. That work, to be done this summer, will <br />involve resurfacing and a widening of shoulders.
