    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.

    Crane Lake Watershed Study
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Blonigen, Laura; Race, Sara; Rutman, Brady
    This project was completed as part of the 2012-2013 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Minnetonka. To improve water quality in Crane Lake, Minnetonka project lead and water resource engineer Liz Stout worked with students in CE 5511: Urban Hydrology and Land Development, to conduct a best management practice feasibility study for the Crane Lake Watershed. Based on their analysis, the students recommended increasing the frequency of street sweeping to collect leaves and other organic matter before they decompose and add nutrients to stormwater bound for the lake, as well as constructing a wet detention pond. The students' final report and presentation are available.
