MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,December 9,2013 6:30 dclock p.m. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT McMillan stated she met with Three Rivers last week to talk about the trail and the turnback of Old Highway 12 to see whether Three Rivers would be interested in contributing to the trail. Three Rivers indicated they will need to see if it can be a regional connection with the current Wayzata trail or future Wayzata trail. McMillan stated they also discussed the bike trail goes east on the north side of Orono, which then goes east of the Long Lake Bank and then down to the park.
