2004 Assessment Policy – Page 22 Additional Definitions and General Provisions A. Federal, State and County Highways These streets are classified as expressways, freeways, and principal arterials constructed and maintained by the State or County Highway Departments. They will carry large volumes of traffic at peak loading times. B. Minnesota State-Aid (MSA) Streets These are termed collector streets that interconnect other collector streets, State or County highways, or with Minnesota State-Aid streets in the municipality. Municipal State-Aid funds, apportioned from the gasoline tax, are used to help finance the cost of Minnesota State-Aid Street. The design for a Minnesota State-Aid road is dependent on traffic volumes and the urban setting. C. Commercial/Industrial Streets These are streets that generally serve commercial/industrial property. They would typically have a projected traffic volume higher than a residential street. A typical design would be thirty-six feet (36') wide with concrete curb and gutter, and nine (9) tone design in accordance with current MnDOT standards. D. Residential Streets Primarily serve adjoining residents with little or no through traffic. Almost all trips have either an origin or destination on that street. (18.5 miles throughout the City) Street width: Minimum of 28 feet. E. Neighborhood Streets Provide access to residences on that street and provide a route through neighborhood for residents on other streets. A large proportion of trips have neither an origin nor destination on that street. (4.5 miles throughout the City) Street width: Minimum of 30 feet. F. Community Street Provide access to the residences, institutions and businesses on that street, providing a route through the neighborhood or business district for residents of other neighborhoods. (6.0 miles throughout the City) Street width: Case specific, 32 foot minimum.
