REGULAR A'iEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JAPdUARY 23, 1978 Page 4 At the direction of the City Council, the City Staff PUBLIC I�EARING has set a third public hearing .for January 23, 1978 Ring Route at 7: 30 P.Pi. in the City Council Char.lbers to receive (Continued) citizen input on the proposed planning and possible construction of a segrlent of the ring route. The construction of this ring route segment would be the first step in reducing the ir,lpact of traffic with its inherent polluting eff_ects upon the County Road No. 15 scenic parkway corridor and Lake P4innetonka between Navarre and Wayzata. The proposed segment of the ring route under consideration at this time is a connecting link between the inter- sc�ction of County Road P1o. 19 and rdo. 84 and the inter- s�.ction of County Road No. 6 and �aaterto�an Road. This new roadway segment of approximately 9/10 of a rmile is proPosed to be constructed under the P�4unicipal State Aid program utilizing State funds allocated to the .City for roadway construction and upgrading. As proposed, the construction of this ring route ' segment w ould necessitate the acquisition of private lands but would not require the removal of any existing residences. A sketch of the location of the proposed right-of-way is on file with the City Administrator and will be available for review at the City offices and at the public hearing on January 23, 1978. The attendance of all interested parties is encouraged. End of letter The following letter ��as received from Herbert O. Klossner, Hennepin County Department of Trans- portation, dated January 19 , 1978, which states: Since our letter dated December 29 , 1977 to Psr. Gregory Frank, McCombs-F:nutson Associates, Inc. regarding the pre.liminary engineering report for the proposed Ring Route in Orono, we have met with P'ir. Frank and been able to review in more detail the alignment for the proposed Ring Route. Hennepin County believes that after cor.►pletion of the proposed Ring Route and after extension of CSAH 19 to connect to County Road 29 at the TH 12 , the predominant r:lovement at the intersection of CSAH 19/Ring Route will be to and from the northeast on the Ring Route. For this reason, Hennepin County now agrees with the proposed alignment shown on the preliminary engineering report. Please disregard A-Itern 1 in our December 29 , 1977 letter.
