Abstract
This project was completed as part of a partnership between the City of Chaska and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (https://rcp.umn.edu/). The goal of this project was to develop a placemaking/activation plan that could be used by the City, businesses, and the local business district as a guide and inspirational tool to foster social activity in downtown Chaska. City of Chaska project leads Ashley Cauley, Julie Grove, and Nate Kabat collaborated with a team of students in Peter Brown’ course PA 8081 to interview stakeholders, including the Downtown Business Alliance (DBA), and develop recommendations to make the downtown paseo network a more frequently visited destination for residents and visitors. A final student report, 1-page summary, and PowerPoint presentation slides from the project are available.
