By <br /> this letter and the attached resolution,the City approves the preliminary layout for the upgrade of <br /> • Highway 12, with the following comments. <br /> Objectives Reflected in the Preliminarv Desi�n <br /> The key objectives of the City,which are now reflected as elements of the preliminary design, are <br /> as follows: <br /> 1. Ensure the design and operation of the County Road 6/Highway 12 interchange,and <br /> . of new Highway 12 in the area of this interchange,are adequate to provide free flow <br /> of traffic on both County Road 6 and Highway 12 well into the future. The key <br /> traffic movements here are westbound new Highway 12 using the loop to westbound <br /> County Road 6, and eastbound County Road 6 traffic using the entrance ramp to <br /> eastbound new Highway 12. In addition to the importance of this interchange <br /> operating effectively itself,the free flow of traffic on new Highway 12 and County ' <br /> Road 6 is extremely important to the effective future operation of the entire east/west <br /> transportation system in Orono. <br /> 2. The County Road 6/Highway 12 interchange bridge is designed at a width sufficient <br /> to accommodate four through lanes in the future. <br /> � 3. The design includes a median barrier between the eastbound and westbound lanes of <br /> new Highway 12 in the area of the County Road 6/Highway 12 interchange. <br /> � <br /> Telephone(612)249-4600 • Fax(612)249-4616 <br />
