Hennepin County will be com.inq out with a memo in about a week to interested cities on the result of a survey of which ring route is preferred. The majority of the cities surveyed preferred Alternate No. 4 which involves straightening County Highways 110, 19.and 6. The County's tentative schedule is to do the work on Co. Rd. 110 within the next 5 years and to purchase the right-of-way for Co. Rd. 19 and 6 in 1979 or 1980. The proposed route would be a County - State Aid Highway. Past policy in Hennepin County has been for the City and County to each pay 50% of the cost of right-of-way acquisition. f' Mr. Spencer suggested that if Orono wished to speed the progress of the ring route by assisting in the early purchase of right-of-way that a letter to the County Engineer offering this assistance would be .in order. He thought the County might be receptive to such an offer and would do the preliminary engineering work necessary for the r.iyht-of-way to be purchased. State Aid funds may be used for right--of-way purchase on Municipal State Aid streets or County State Arid streets. The street must be designated as an MSA or CSA street which means that (Orono may have to take some of the streets presently on the MSA 12805 OLSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55441 TELEPHONE (612) 545-3735 36 NORTH MAIN STREET, HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA 55350 TELEPHONE (612) 897-8031 SOUTHWEST ENGINEERING DIVISION, MARSHALL, MINNESOTA 56258 TELEPHONE (507) 532-5820
