    City of Minnetonka Parking Reform Proposal
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Armstrong, Chelsey; Kleingartner, Dustin; Peterson, Cadence
    This project was completed as part of the 2012-2013 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Minnetonka. The City of Minnetonka was interested in assessing its parking regulations and identifying potential best practices for improving parking regulation and design. Minnetonka project lead and city planner Susan Thomas worked with students in PA 8202: Networks and Places, to develop a set of parking policy recommendations. Based on their research, the students recommended simplifying parking requirements; reducing minimum parking regulations; creating a development impact fee for parking that exceeds a prescribed ratio; providing incentives for structured parking; lowering parking requirements for locations with alternative transportation options; encouraging shared parking; allowing for off-site parking; improving pedestrian amenities within parking areas; zoning for additional mixed-use development; encouraging infill development or alternative uses on excessive existing surface parking; and providing incentives for use of permeable pavers. The students' final report and presentation are available.

    North St Paul Community Gardens Proposal
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Appleby, Elizabeth; Darnell, Charles; Armstrong, Chelsey; Daview-Deis, David
    This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. Residents of North St. Paul were interested in community gardening opportunities, but the City did not have existing policies or plans in place around urban gardening. Project lead Jon Fure collaborated with students in Dr. Carissa Schively Slotterback’s PA 5253: Planning Participation Processes course to create a participation plan for community gardening. The students discussed three phases of community engagement, offered recommendations for engaging and communicating with stakeholders, and suggested methods for documenting the engagement process. This is one of two projects completed on this topic in this course. The final report is available.
