TRANSPORTATION JUNE, 1980 <br /> SCENIC PARKWAY Scenic parkway is a designation and classification used <br /> by the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul and applied by Orono to those <br /> roads which traverse especially scenic and environmentally significant <br /> areas of the City. The scenic parkway is typically a narrow, curvy, slow <br /> speed road which provides access to recreational areas and special vistas <br /> of scenic attractions. High volume through traffic and commercial traffic <br /> is not appropriate on scenic parkways because these users do not benefit <br /> from the attraction and because the physical nature of the roadway is not <br /> conducive to efficient through traffic movement. Because of environmental � <br /> sensitivity, scenic parkways cannot be rebuilt into higher capacity <br /> collectors or minor arterials without adversely affecting the natural <br /> setting, the scenic quality of the road and/or the property rights of <br /> abutting landowners . Because of the natural topography of the area, <br /> scenic parkways also provide some of the traffic and local access <br /> functions of both local and collector streets. <br /> JURISDICTION; COUNTY OR CITY <br /> RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH : 50-66 FEET <br /> LOCAL STREETS Local streets are public streets that function to provide <br /> direct access to abutting properties .
