m TRANSPORTATION JUNE, 1980 <br />8. <br />*1* <br />9. <br />DRIVEWAY LOCATIONS AND RURAL STREET OR PRIVATE ROAD INTERSECTIONS <br />WILL BE LIMITED FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY. Rural traffic <br />speed is generally faster than that in urban <br />neighborhoods requiring greater sight distances <br />and a lesser number of intersection conflicts for <br />the same degree of traffic safety. Joint use of <br />carefully located private roads will generally be <br />preferred over direct access onto public highways <br />from separate properties. <br />RURAL TRAILS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TOTAL ALTERNATE TRANSFORATION <br />SYSTEM. Rural trails offer access to the Hennepin <br />County Park Reserve Lands from all areas of the City. <br />Rural trails offer horseback riding as well as walking <br />and bicycle opportunities. The City will encourage <br />completion of the planned bike-hike trail system and <br />the private development of rural trails connecting the <br />public trail system with individual rural properties. <br />The City will continue tc restrict motorized use of <br />trails within Orono as inappropriate to the trail's <br />basic purpose and as incompatible with adjacent <br />residential properties. <br />THE CITY WILL NOT PROMOTE MASS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR RURAL ORONO. <br />The planned rural land use density cannot economically <br />supporc public transit services. Existing bus routes <br />pass through the rural area enroute between Long Lake, <br />Wayzata and urban Orono. These routes are sufficient <br />to serve Orono's rural needs and will in fact provide <br />additional rural service as the need for additional <br />urban service increases. No new route locations are <br />necessary as rural residents desiring to use transit <br />services will use the established park and ride <br />locations in Navarre and Wayzata. <br />CMP 7-13
