Minn. R. agency 175, ch. 8820, NATURAL PRESERVATION ROUTES, pt. 8820.4000
Any person may make a written request to designate a county state-aid highway as a natural preservation route. The request must be directed to the county board having jurisdiction over the route. A county board is not required to propose designation for the entire length of a county state-aid highway. The county board shall act on the request within 60 days. In order to designate a county state-aid highway as a natural preservation route, the commissioner must receive a board resolution from the county having jurisdiction over the road.
The county board shall use the descriptions in part 8820.4010 as a guide for determining which designation type best fits a particular route. All of the descriptors may be used in combination. No single descriptor, including ADT, may be used to eliminate a route type from consideration.
