A <br />•'ourth street type is the parkway which may serve an arterial <br />or collector function. Local streets, collector stroei-o, or <br />those streets which provide acce.s to individual properties, <br />are not part of the major street network. <br />Principal Arterials <br />U.S. 12 is proposed for upgrading to a freeway standard <br />after the year 2000. Its general alignment, depending upon <br />what happens to the east of Independence, should be somewhat <br />south of Maple Plain and thence northwesterly to a point at <br />which it nearly coincides with present U.S. 12. Specific <br />principals that should be applied to the alignment is that it <br />should not be forced through more heavily populated areas <br />(particularly Maple Plain on the east and Delano on the west) <br />and secondly, due to the abundance of marshlands in Independence, <br />a great deal of care should be taken to avoid major environ­ <br />mental encroachment of such areas. <br />Minor Arterials <br />East/west arterial streets include 1) County Road 11 <br />Medina to the western City limits; 2) U.S. 12 from <br />19 to the western City limits; and 3) county Road 6 ..om Town <br />Line to County Line Road. <br />North/south arterial streets include: 1) County Road 110 <br />from the south City limits to Baker Park Road; 2) ,°g2 <br />90 from County Road 6 to County Road 11; and 3) County Road 92 <br />from County Road 6 to the north City limits. <br />■ Functional Classification System Characteristic_s <br />^ r»r* i oa 1 Intermediate MPrincipal <br />Arterial <br />Intermediate <br />Arterial <br />Minor <br />Arterial Collector Local <br />Spacing <br />Land Access/ <br />Driveways <br />3-6 miles <br />None <br />1-3 miles <br />Limited <br />ij-2 miles <br />Limited <br />J*-l mile <br />Direct <br />Land <br />Access <br />1 block <br />Direct <br />Right-of-way <br />Speed Limit <br />Large Trucks <br />300’ <br />45-55 <br />100'-300’ <br />40-50 <br />No Restriction <br />66*-150' <br />35-45 <br />50'-80’ <br />Max. 3 0 <br />Parking None None <br />Maximum Grade (%) 4 <br />66'-100’ <br />30-40 <br />Restricted as Permitted <br />Necessary ^s Necessar. <br />Restricted as Unrestricte <br />Necessary <br />6 8 <br />- 45 -
