The most frequent service is prc/ided on Shoreline Drive through <br />Che neart of the Navarre commercial area and closest to the greatest <br />number of Orono's urban residents. Commuter frequency service is provided <br />through the remainder of Orono’s urban area and the experimental service <br />provides flexible-route service to local urban neighborhoods. <br />EXISTING RAIL FACILITIES PROVIDE THE POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE PUBLIC TRANSIT <br />.AND FOR FUTURE INDUSTRIAL FREIGHT SERVICE. The branch rail 1 ne through <br />southern Orono once had frequent passenger service to Minr.eapolis and <br />has the potential for renewed service as a part of a region-wide alternative <br />light-rail transportation system. The main rail 1ine through nor :hern <br />Orono has immediate potential for providing direct rail freight service <br />the Orono Industrial Park should such service ever be desired by one or <br />mor6 of the industries located there. <br />THE PROPOSED RECREATIONAL TRAIL SYSTEM OFFERS AI'^ERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION <br />FACILITIES.

These trails provi e <br />a coordinated alternative to auto transportation for local trips by almost <br />all Orono residents. <br />ypFCTED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS. <br />NO MAJOR CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENTS ARE EXPECTED IN ORONO"S PUBLIC STREET <br />SYSTEM. The existing public road grid system is properly locate an o <br />adequate capacity to serve all of Orono's expected rural developments <br />without new public street requirements. New rural residential eveiopmen <br />are expected to rely entirely on private roads where new access is requir <br />by new lot arrai»genont s . <br />in the urban area, a few short local street extensions may occur within <br />the next ten years. Map No. 11 indicates forecast urban deve opmen in <br />three locations each of which will probably be served by a new public <br />street cul-de-sac. Nw new urban collector capacity will be required <br />because of the limited number of dwellings in these developments. <br />Orono's major forecast street improvement was the construction of <br />Road as a link in the Ring Route between County Road 6 and ^oun y <br />This entirely new road is expected to be completely finished ear y <br />summer of I960.a V"L I <br />CMP 7-18
