Minnesota State Highway 77 is a Limited Access Highway that connects Apple Valley, Minnesota to Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is also known as Cedar Avenue.
The Department stated that a variance is reasonable because there may be unforeseen reasons why an individual may not be able to meet the conditions of rehabilitation as required by 7503.1700, Item A, subitems 2 and 3 which state the minimum number of hours required for primary and relapse treatment.
The Department stated that it is important to document the request by requiring it to be in writing and equally important for the driver to clarify from which rules or requirements a variance is requested so that the Department knows which requirements must be considered.
The Department stated that this section is necessary in order to distinguish between those who commit offenses and begin rehabilitation and those who commit offenses, refuse to participate in rehabilitation, commit further offenses, and then chose to begin the rehabilitation process.
Reflecting the nationwide changes in the U.S. highway system in its first few years of existence, new routes were soon extended into Minnesota: 77 (briefly duplexed with 12 near the South Dakota border) was added about 1930; the entirely intra-state 371 was established in 1931 and 169 was extended into the state in 1932.
Minnesota began to mark the additional routes added by the legislature in 1933, which required a major redesign of the numbering system.
Another change shown on this map: trunk highway 59 from the Iowa border to Lake City is shown as U.S. Now, at that time 59 did not exist, and it is possible that this was a proposal to create a U.S. highway from Iowa to Minnesota that fortuitously could utilize the former marked route number.
