Mapping of existing and potential tree canopy is critical for urban tree management at the landscape level. This classification was created from combined 2015 aerial imagery, LIDAR data, and ancillary thematic layers. These data sets were integrated using an Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) approach through multi-resolution image segmentation and an iterative set of classification commands in the form of customized rulesets. eCognition® Developer was used to develop the rulesets and produce raster classification products for TCMA. The results were evaluated using randomly placed and independent verified assessment points. The classification product was analyzed at regional scales to compare distributions of tree canopy spatially and at different resolutions. The combination of spectral data and LiDAR through an OBIA method helped to improve the overall accuracy results providing more aesthetically pleasing maps of tree canopy with highly accurate results.Item Accessibility Evaluation of Transitways in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region(Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2020-04) Owen, Andrew; Carlson, KristinThis report presents the results of a transit accessibility analysis for five transitway scenarios within the Metropolitan Council's jurisdiction. The details of the bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors selected for this study can be found in the Arterial Transitway Corridors Study report. Census block level access to jobs are evaluated in two stages. The first stage compares the May 2019 transit network with the funded transit network including the C Line, Orange Line, and Green Line Extension. The second stage uses the funded network as the new baseline for comparison with three prospective BRT routes including the D Line, B Line, and E Line. The accessibility change between each scenario is interpreted as the number of additional jobs a worker can reach when the selected BRT alternative is included in the transit network compared to the baseline accessibility level for the same travel duration. The remainder of this report will refer to each network scenario as the May 2019 baseline, funded baseline, and prospective network.Item Are Good Jobs Disappearing? Third in the series, What the 1990 Census Says About Minnesota.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota, 1995) Ahlburg, Dennis A.; Song, Yong-Nam; Leitz, ScottItem Art as Activism: Displacement Prevention in the Twin Cities(2016-12) O’Donnell, StephanieThis research uses the history of urban development and media representation as context for understanding current racial equity gaps and growing fears of gentrification and displacement in Minneapolis and Saint Paul neighborhoods. It emphasizes the importance of narrative in the process of changing power structures, and explores the community-building work of artist, Wing Young Huie, and arts organizations, Mixed Blood Theatre and Juxtaposition Arts. During times of change, art can strengthen neighborhood resilience by giving communities control over the telling of their own stories.Item Arts Access and the Politics of Empowerment in the Twin Cities(2016-05) Metzler, Melissa MayArts Access grants , distributed from Legacy Amendment funds, are designed for underserved communities who have the least exposure to visual art. Substantial barriers face individuals in the Twin Cities who are served by these grants. Arts advocates, politicians, and taxpayers should understand more about how the funds are used and how their use can be improved.Item Asian American Youth in the Twin Cities: Overachievers or Delinquents?(1996) Yang, Mary KaoItem Assessing Neighborhood and Social Influences of Transit Corridors(Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2012-07) Fan, Yingling; Guthrie, AndrewThis research investigates neighborhood and social influences of major transit improvements in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. To delineate a comprehensive picture, this research focuses on four transit corridors—Hiawatha LRT, NorthStar Commuter Rail, Cedar Avenue BRT, and Central Corridor LRT—each of which is at a different stage of planning, construction, or operation. The project undertakes a general quantification of neighborhood social change in transit served areas. For each corridor, the researchers also investigate inter-neighborhood and inter-corridor variations in social change, and examine residents' and business owners' perceptions of neighborhood social change, as well as of the specific impacts of transit corridors. A mix of quantitative analysis and survey research is used. By examining a wide range of system development stages including planning, construction, and operation, research findings will help policy makers determine at what point in the timelines of major transit capital projects policy responses are needed and likely to be most effective. By covering a variety of transit technologies including LRT, BRT and Commuter Rail, as well as a diverse range of urban and suburban neighborhoods, results from this research will help policy makers make more informed decisions about how to prevent and mitigate socially harmful neighborhood changes associated with various types of transitways. The research also presents strategies for engaging residents and businesses with negative, neutral and positive perceptions of transit projects in the transitway development process.Item Assessing Neighborhood and Social Influences of Transit Corridors (Research Brief)(Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, 2012-10) Fan, Yingling; Guthrie, AndrewThis four-page document summarizes a study (Assessing Neighborhood and Social Influences of Transit Corridors, CTS 12-19) that assessed how residents and businesses along transit corridors in the Twin Cities perceive neighborhood changes caused by transitways. Key findings include: (1) The majority of residents and businesses in transitway corridors have a positive view of transit induced neighborhood change. The extent of positive neighborhood change that transitway corridor residents and businesses anticipate varies widely from corridor to corridor. (2) People with any experience using light-rail transit, frequent transit users, and transit-dependent riders all have overwhelmingly positive attitudes regarding transit-induced neighborhood change. (3) Racial differences in perceptions of transit-induced neighborhood change do exist, with specific groups on certain corridors having markedly more negative or positive views than others. (4) Five key strategies may help address negative perceptions and possible negative impacts of transit-induced neighborhood change: address misperceptions, engage the neutrals, play to the strengths, include transit users, and conduct community-sensitive planning.Item Assisted Cooperative Housing--A Research.(1981) Gustafson, Sharon JItem Bloomington Area Summer Visitor Profile(University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2012) Oftedal, Andrew; Schneider, Ingrid E.Item Catching Up: Bus Operations and Potential on the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.(Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, University of Minnesota., 1973) Adams, Russell B.; Dickson, Scott R.; Isaacs, Aaron R.Item Item Characteristics of Poverty: Incidence, Change, and Correlates.
