M <br />TRAN^PORTATIOM JUNE, 1980 <br />THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MUST REINFORCE THE LAND <br />Orono^^this meii^reinforcing the permanent urban/rural land use goals. <br />This means providing sufficient capacity for trips between Orono s <br />residential neighborhoods and the commercial centers of Navarre and <br />other lake area municipalities as well as the metropolitan area to the <br />east of Orono. As a practical matter, this means little or no need for <br />expansion of any highways or roads in the city in the future. <br />HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS HAVE RESULTED IN A CITY WHICH IS PARTIALLY <br />SrIIn AND pLtIALLY RURAL. Development patterns established 100 years ago <br />are responsible for the dual personality that characterizes Orono The <br />urban areas provide higher density housing opportunities and all of the <br />neighborhood services necessary to support the residents <br />urban and rural alike. The rural areas provide areas for low <br />housing and quasi-agricultural activities. The lifestyles are differe , <br />the needs and desires of the citizens are different and the requirements <br />for public services are different. <br />ORONO IS PARTLY IN THE METROPOLITAN URBAN SpVICE <br />RURAL SERVICE AREA. The Metropolitan Council has established ^ <br />that rings the Twin Cities separating urban and rural areas. <br />MUSA area, metropolitan facilities, including more extensive <br />systems, will be provided for urban development. ”“^2s Ind' <br />developed density is expected to be low and metropolitan ^® <br />capacities will not be provided.

The urban areas of Orono have sufficient <br />require and to financially support, municipal services such limited <br />Irian roadway network. The rural areas, on the other hand, ^ave limited <br />density and have environmental restraints prohibiting ur an ^ <br />encroachments.
