    Hennepin County Enhanced Bicycle Network
    (2017) Carr, Quinn; Osendorf, Tara; Karner, Kevin
    The purpose of this study is to augment the Hennepin County 2040 Bicycle Transportation Plan and will inform the next round of system planning in 2017 and beyond. This report provides a flexible process and recommendations for Hennepin County, Minnesota to prioritize facilities for an enhanced bicycle network based on physical, spatial, and social characteristics. In doing so, it identifies a two-step approach for prioritization that uses criteria scoring thresholds and weighting for quantifying and ranking on-street County bicycle facilities. The criteria offer emphasis on goals set out in Hennepin County’s bike plan such as safety and comfort, increased ridership, and system connectivity and demand. To the greatest extent possible, the overall process and criteria that are used borrow from existing County plans, public and staff input, and academic research.

    Shared-Use Mobility Possibilities in Brooklyn Park: Public Data
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2016) Hayford Oleary, Sean; Lampe, Joseph; Osendorf, Tara; Wardoku, Maria; Bai, Shunhua; Howard, Kurt
    This project was completed as part of the 2016-2017 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Brooklyn Park. The Blue Line Light Rail extension is expected to reach Brooklyn Park by 2021. Brooklyn Park wanted to investigate shared-use mobility as a means of expanding access to light rail for those without regular access to a personal automobile. The goal of this project was to determine current public transit usage, potential bicycle and pedestrian routes, and access to credit cards and smart phones, both of which are necessary to use many shared-use mobility options. Brooklyn Park project lead Emily Carr worked with a team of students in PA 5232/CEGE 5212: Transportation Policy, Planning, and Development, who developed an interactive website, report, and presentation for Brooklyn Park outlining current conditions in the city. The students' final report and presentation are available.
