    An Assessment of Parking Policy in Minnetonka, Minnesota: Recommentations for Future Parking Policies to Create a Resilient Community
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Rutman, Brady; Darnell, Charles; Krantz, Michael; Risse, William
    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. The students recommended that Minnetonka establish parking requirements based on average parking demand rather than peak demand; provide more flexibility through the use of shared parking; and establish maximum parking requirements. The students' final report and presentation are available.

    Community Garden Policy Participation Proposal
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Campbell, Jenna; Hejl, Phyllis; Miller, Caroline; Risse, William
    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 outlined a five-phase engagement plan and offered recommendations for stakeholder identification and communication. This is one of two projects completed on this topic in this course. The final report and poster are available.
