12987.8 TO:Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator‘A DATE: February 4, 1987 SUBJECT: City of Medina - Oirono Extension #116/Willow Attachment:A. Preliminary Layout CSAH #116 B. Gerhardson Memo Cty 116 Dated February 4, 1987 ISSJE - Identification of issues and concerns Orono has related to the possible entension of County 116 from its intersection at Highv/ay 55 to Highway 12. INTRODUCTION - The City of Orono has been recently contacted by the City of Medina as it has been indicated they have again requested that the County look at extending County 116 down Willow to, at least County Road Six, if not Highway 12. It is their feeling at this time although the expenditure is not a programmed expenditure, that the County may be interested in doing this for the City, as a quid pro quo for their ongoing landfill. When this was last considered by the City cf Medina in 1983 people of Medina south of County 24 along Willow objected to it, however those north of County 24 were generally in favor of it. As noted on the map this would provide the only direct north-south link for the community apart from County 19, which is on the western edge and segments of Willow that weave back and forth in the community. DISCUSSION - The City of Medina invited Orono to be attendance at their February 3, 1987 informational meeting or the matter. John Gerhardson was in attendance at that meeting and relayed the following issues and concerns that the City of Orono may have in relationship to this proposal. - Estimate of increased traffic in ''rono - Impact of status of Willow as v. municipal State Aid street (MSA) - North of Six - Between Six and Highway 12 - Attendant traffic control improvements at: - County Road Six and Willow - Highway 12 and Willow - Impact on proposed frontage road system north of Highway 12
