    Brooklyn Park Rebranding Initiative Program Evaluation Plan
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2017) Erdenemandakh, Jargalmaa; Coppersmith, Emily; Dorn, Laura
    This project was completed as part of the 2016-2017 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Brooklyn Park. Brooklyn Park is in the midst of a large rebranding initiative, but is unsure how residents and other stakeholders feel about the initiative. To assess the opinions of these groups, students in Dr. Jodi Sandfort’s Program Evaluation course helped the city increase communication with residents and departments by outlining processes to gain constructive feedback. The students specifically outlined how to conduct focus groups and distribute effective surveys. The students’ final report and presentation are available.

    Gizhaawaso Gikinoo’amaagozi: Red Lake Safe Routes to School
    (2017) Dorn, Laura
    In the 2009 reauthorization of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Congress provided the foundation for Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs. Since then, a diverse set of programs have been implemented in rural and tribal communities throughout the country, and the literature provides insight to make Safe Routes work in Tribal communities. I reviewed the literature and best practices on Safe Routes in Tribal communities to make recommendations for the Red Lake Tribal Engineering Department and the Red Lake School District to prepare a request for Safe Routes to School Funding. I offer six recommendations, ranging from the addition of signage around the school zone and along bus routes, to reconstructing the Red Lake Elementary school parking lot.
