Creating and Sustaining Equity in Little Canada through Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Public Transit Connectivity

Abstract

This project was completed in partnership between the City of Little Canada and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (https://rcp.umn.edu/). The goal of this project was to research how the City of Little Canada might equitably prioritize improvements to its transportation infrastructure to provide safe, accessible, and connected pathways for people walking, rolling, biking, and taking public transit. City of Little Canada project lead Corrin Wendell collaborated with a team of students in Dr. Greg Lindsey’s course PA 8081 to conduct four analyses - demographic, crash risk, connectivity, and economic – and solict feedback from the community through an online survey and several key informant interviews. A final student report, executive summary, and PowerPoint presentation slides from the project are available.
