Jurisdictional Classification <br />Roadways are classified on the basis of which level of government <br />owns and has jurisdiction over the given facility. The three levels of <br />government that have involvement are the State of Minnesota (Mn/ <br />DOT), Washington County, and the City of Hugo. Mn/DOT owns/ <br />maintains the Trunk Highway (TH) system and Washington County <br />the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) and County Road (CR) system <br />The City owns/maintains the local streets, including Municipal State <br />Aid (MSA) streets. <br />Figure 8-4 provides a map depicting the jurisdictional classification <br />of the overall roadway network serving Hugo and its residents and <br />businesses. <br />Municipal State Aid Streets <br />Cities in Minnesota with populations greater than 5,000 are eligible <br />to receive Municipal State Aid (MSA) funding from the state Highway <br />User Tax Distribution Fund. The basic purpose of this program <br />is to help local governments construct and maintain collector and <br />arterial roadways which have consistent design standards and which <br />are well integrated into the overall network of collector and arterial <br />roadways. The State Aid system typically consists of a maximum of <br />20% of the City's roadway mileage. The State Aid office of MnDOT <br />has established clearly defined design requirements for MSA streets. <br />These requirements ensure that capacity, operational, and safety <br />goals are met in a uniform manner from community to community, and <br />that street systems are well coordinated with each other. <br />Based on State Statute, Sections 169.80 and 169.87, MnDOT does <br />not allow cities to restrict truck traffic on MSA streets. <br />DRAFT Dec 14-17 <br />for review only <br />HUGO <br />2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE TRANSPORTATION 171 <br />
