� <br />� <br /> TRANSPORTATI�N <br />� JUNE, 19gp <br />� 6. THE CITY WILL PURSUE ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE-HIKE TRAIL <br /> FACILITIES. The completion of an interconnected <br /> bike-hike trail system is important to the further- <br /> ance of alternative transportation incentives. The <br />� City will encourage Hennepin County to speedily <br /> implement the planned bike-hike trail system along <br /> several county roads . The separation of bicycle and <br />� pedestrian traffic from vehicular traffic is of the <br /> utmost importance in accident prevention . <br />� 7. THE CITY WILL PROMOTE IMPROVED MASS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR URBAN <br /> NEIGHBORHOODS. Orono has established a Park and <br /> Ride Transit System. Orono encourages improved <br /> bus scheduling and improved service , especially <br /> at off-peak hours. Orono strongly supports the <br /> "Tonkamobile" program and encourages expansion to <br /> provide improved Excelsior-Wayzata service via <br /> Orono ' s North Shore neighborhoods . <br /> RURAL TRAN�pORTATtnN pp trtFc -� <br /> 1. PUBLIC STREETS IN THE RURAL AREA WILL BE PRIMAI2ILY LIMITED TO THE <br /> EXISTING COLLECTOR AND ARTERIAL GRID SYSTEM. <br /> The low rural land use density does not require <br /> nor can it economically support an extensive <br /> public street system. Rural lot arrangements <br /> have always been served by the existing grid <br /> streets and are capable of subdivision to the <br /> planned rural density without requiring additional <br /> public street investments . <br /> 2. THE RING ROUTE CONCEPT UTILIZES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE EXISTING <br /> RURAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM. The principal corridor for <br /> traffic from Minnetrista and points west utilizes <br /> Hennepin County Roads No. 6 and 19 and State Highway <br /> 12 • The City of Orono has constructed a key link <br /> between County Roads 6 and 19 . Additional ring <br /> route traffic uses the existing north-south collector <br /> roads to travel away from the Lake toward these <br /> principal travel routes . <br /> 3. THE CITY OF ORONO WILL ENCOURAGE ALL NECESSARY ROAD SURFACE AND <br /> INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED TO ACCOMMODATE AND TO FACILITATE <br /> THROUGH TRAFFIC ON THE RING ROUTE. This will include <br /> cooperation with the City of Long Lake in accommodating <br /> traffic on Highway 12 . <br /> .� <br /> CMP 7-11 <br />
