Abstract
This project was completed as part of the 2016-2017 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Brooklyn Park. Based on a series of focus groups with residents who live along the Zane Ave corridor in Brooklyn Park that were intended to assess barriers to healthy living, the City learned that lack of access to healthy food was a challenge for many residents. The goal of this project was to determine the types of barriers these and other residents face in accessing healthy, culturally appropriate food. City of Brooklyn Park project lead John Nerge worked with two students in Geoff Maas’s PA 5271 course to determine the location of food outlets along the corridor, and assessed potential transportation and other barriers to accessing those outlets. The final report is available.
