Engaging Margaret: Developing a Program of Participation to Incorporate Living Streets in the Margaret Street Corridor

Abstract

This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. Through a 20-year capital improvement plan, the City of North St. Paul allocated more resources to infrastructure improvements. Part of these initiatives were to improve livability through developing a living streets policy. Project lead Paul Ammerman worked with students in PA 5253: Designing Participation Processes, to create a community engagement plan for implementing the policy. The students developed an engagement proposal, outlined a timeline, and offered activity recommendations. This is one of three living streets engagement projects completed through this course. The students' final report is available.
