RESOLUTION # 557 <br />• A RESOLUTION FOR THE USE OF M.S.A. FUNDS <br />TO PURCHASE RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR PROPOSED RING ROUTE <br />WHEREAS, County Highway 15 from Mound to Orono is becoming <br />heavily traveled, and traffic is creating a burden on the lake area <br />residents, and <br />WHEREAS, the upgrading of Couty Road 15 and its present <br />right-of-way is an unacceptable solution to this problem, and <br />WHEREAS, the construction of a ring route around the <br />northwestern area of Lake Minnetonka is an integral part of Orono's <br />comprehensive plan, and <br />WHEREAS, such ring route would relieve the traffic on <br />County Highway 15 by moving it northwest and away from the lake, <br />and <br />WHEREAS, studies jointly by Hennepin County and the City <br />of Orono have shown that such a ring route could reduce the amount <br />of thru traffic through the City of Orono, Minnetonka Beach, and <br />other lake front communities, and would generally enhance the <br />traffic moving in the entire northwestern Lake Minnetonka area. <br />• NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City <br />of Orono does hereby commit its portion of Municipal State Aid Funds <br />for 1972, 73, and 74 as far as are necessary for the purchase of <br />fig.ht-of-way for the proposed ring route so that the Hennepin County <br />hway Department can proceed with the development of this urgently <br />ded facility. It is intended that these funds would be used <br />lusively for this purpose. <br />Adopted by the City Council of the City of Orono, Minnesota at a <br />regular meeting held September 24, 1974. <br />Robert L.
