Box 6 Stillwater, Minnesota 55082-0006 Re: Scandia City Center Study Planning Services Proposal Dear Ms. Allen and Members of the Selection Committee: HKGi has more than two decades’ worth of experience providing clients with the ideas and tools they need to make their communities safer for cycling and walking. A well-planned bike-ped network can improve the qualify of life for community members and can also provide economic development benefits. As professionals and outdoor enthusiasts, we are passionate about using our technical skills and experience to help our client communities leverage these benefits. The team we are proposing for this project is well-positioned to work with Washington County, City of Scandia, and MNDOT staff and stakeholders to create a transportation vision for the city center, one that will enhance safety and mobility for all modes of transportation, preserve the area’s rural and historic character, and provide new active living and outdoor recreation opportunities. Our team’s leadership worked with staff to develop Washington County’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, and since then we have developed several more bike- ped, trail, and multi-modal transportation plans. To address some of the technical transportation requirements of this project, we have partnered with Transportation Collaborative and Consultants (TC2), a small but robust firm whose staff members bring decades of knowledge and experience to this project. HKGi and TC2 have worked together on several recent projects, and the two firms share a passion for providing outstanding client service and creative problem-solving skills to address community development challenges. We are pleased to have another opportunity to provide planning assistance to Washington County and are excited about the chance to work with staff and community members in Scandia. If you have questions about our proposal or our qualifications, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Jody Rader, who will serve as the HKGi team’s project manager. We look forward to speaking with you.

The study is intended to respond to upcoming projects, including a proposed Scandia Arts and Heritage Center and the Gateway Trail Extension, and address multi-modal connectivity surrounding the commercial area of CR 52, TH 97, and CSAH 3 and Scandia Elementary School. The vision will focus on safety improvements, local investment opportunities, and elevating the quality of life for Scandia residents. We anticipate addressing the following initial observations of the Scandia City Center: »Need for wayfinding and connections to/from the proposed Gateway Trail trailhead »Lack of bike facility network and an incomplete sidewalk/pedestrian network »Steep topography and blind turns throughout the existing roadway network »Crosswalk safety measures at entry to Scandia Heritage Center Development site »Locating opportunities for public gathering and event spaces, or enhancement of existing spaces, such as the Farmers Market location »Need for strengthened connections between all destinations within the city center »Opportunity for gateway signage and further community identification as visitors enter the city center »Need for safe crossings and traffic calming surrounding the elementary school »Opportunity to create a vision to establish cohesiveness and legibility to the area for visitors, promote local businesses, and provide the amenities that residents can enjoy on a daily basis »Further analysis, inventory, data collection, and engagement with community members will inform the full scope of the study parameters Approach HKGi will approach this project with the following elements woven throughout the process: Building Consensus Along the Way This study will only be successful if a robust and authentic engagement strategy is employed throughout the duration of the project. Our team will spend a significant effort in the initial stages to gather ideas and learn about Scandia from the resident experts. At strategic points along the way, we will be reporting back out what we heard through online tools and in-person events, and will continue to build two-way communication channels between 2 Understanding & Approach agency representatives and stakeholders. This information will set the foundation for synthesis of ideas into concepts and recommendations that are supported by the community and feasible to implement. We will also lean on the PMT to provide insight into the best methods for communication and feedback gathering and, when possible, will meet stakeholders and community members where they are. Our team is flexible and has a proven track record of responding nimbly to new ideas or areas of exploration in the engagement process. Active Living in a Small Town Setting When people describe why they love living in or visiting a small city, there is an underlying gravity towards descriptors of walkable, safe, pedestrian-friendly places. Oftentimes these places are scaled to humans, and destinations include unique, identifiable qualities such as a tie to a cultural history or landmark. HKGi approaches planning for cities through the lens of active living. This means that we considerately work to tailor plans and recommendations to meet the specific needs of the region or community, avoiding a one-size fits all approach. Integrating active living principles involves understanding how the community uses and enjoys the current transportation network, and then working closely with key stakeholders who represent a wide variety of perspectives to develop an attainable vision for creating easy, convenient, and safe ways for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy public spaces. This also means looking for ways to activate spaces for meaningful gatherings and events, and supporting the programming that exists today. As part of this project, our team will be asking “What does active living mean for the City of Scandia?” throughout the process. Thoughtful Analysis and Ideation For all of our projects, we like to get to know a place really well along the way. This helps us formulate the questions we should be asking to drive analysis and subsequent concepts and ideation. Through active communication with staff and the PMT, we will listen to learn where we need to explore further and pick up on the cues that reveal the unique characteristics of this place. Translation of complex ideas into easy-to-digest graphics and summaries establishes a means for communication for the project team, the PMT, and the public. We draw on our collective and deep experience working with many communities across the Midwest on a wide range of projects to explore innovative ideas that are not only exciting, but also implementable, all the while balancing the input gathered by local expertise. 3 Proposal - Scandia City Center Study - Washington County The following work plan was developed in response to the information provided in the RFP. The associated schedule assumes project commencement October of 2023, with a completed project anticipated by late July, (no later than August 31) 2024. WORK PLAN & SCHEDULE A site tour will provide staff the opportunity to highlight current challenges, potential opportunities, and areas of focus to the planning team. Task 1: Project Management We will begin the project by confirming the scope and schedule and building a framework for communicating throughout the duration of the project. A kick-off meeting and initial site tour will be conducted with the PMT. Task 1 will run the duration of the project, as it also encompasses monthly PMT meetings (assumes 8 total, a mix of web-conference and in-person meetings), bi- weekly staff coordination calls, internal consultant team coordination, and project administration. HKGi will be responsible for preparing agendas, meeting materials, and sending out meeting summaries in a timely manner. Project administration includes a monthly progress report with percent complete noted to accompany invoicing. Task 1 Subtasks: »Kick-off meeting to confirm scope and schedule »Site tour »PMT Meeting Facilitation (8) »Bi-Weekly Staff Coordination Call Facilitation (20) »Internal team coordination »Project administration Task 2: Public and Agency Involvement Public engagement and agency involvement is vital to the overall success of this project. Alongside the kick-off meeting and site visit in Task 1, Task 2 will begin at the project start and continue throughout the duration of the project. Our team will spend time confirming the details of the Public Involvement Plan with staff, setting specific dates for events, confirming activities and making sure roles, responsibilities, and expectations are fully identified. During the creation of the Public Involvement Plan, HKGi will work with staff to identify specific hard-to-reach populations, understand if there is a need for translation or interpretive services, and set the groundwork for creating an inclusive planning process. Providing regular progress updates and giving people a chance to anticipate what is coming up is key for creating a transparent process that builds trust between agency stakeholders, residents, and city/county staff. We propose creating a project website from the beginning and using the project website as a hub of information throughout. The project website can be in the form of an ArcGIS StoryMap, built through the Social Pinpoint platform, or we can work with County staff to populate a governmental website with materials. The overall framework for the Public Involvement Plan consists of two phases: 1) Gathering Ideas and 2) Responding to Ideas. Below is a list of potential events and activities that will take place within each phase, with the understanding that the Public Involvement Plan will further define the activities. As the phases shift from one to the next, HKGi will revisit the Public Involvement Plan with staff to determine if changes should be applied in the second phase. Phase 1: Gathering Ideas »Prepare online engagement tools: Potentially a community-wide online survey and interactive mapping tool (Social Pinpoint or similar) to collect initial ideas, concerns, issues, and opportunities. »Create branding and outreach materials: Potentially includes flyers, business cards with QR codes directing people to the project website, yard signs, etc. 4 Work Plan and Schedule »Prepare project website: StoryMap, Social Pinpoint, or similar platform to serve as primary information source for the project process. »Pop-up event: Set up a booth in conjunction with a community event, potentially with the Scandia Farmers Market or other community festival in the fall, to speak one-on-one with residents to gather ideas. »Walk Audit: Residents and stakeholders meet in the City Center and complete an audit of safety/comfort of the area. HKGi will facilitate the event and could be coordinated together with the pop-up event. »Listening Sessions: Virtual meetings facilitated with the larger community of residents or targeted stakeholder groups to hear ideas, concerns, and opportunities. »Engagement Summary for Phase 1: HKGi will prepare a summary of what was heard during Phase 1 and present with infographics. Phase 2: Responding to Ideas »Revisit Public Engagement Plan: Revise as necessary to address any shortfalls in Phase 1 involvement. »Pop-up event: Set up a booth in conjunction with a community event with the purpose of sharing draft concept ideas and gathering feedback. »Update of Project Website: Update to be completed at project milestones. »Open House: Larger community event with the specific purpose of sharing full concept ideas and gathering public feedback through presentation boards, comment cards, and one-on-one conversations with City and County staff. »Targeted Stakeholder Meetings: Virtual meetings with identified stakeholder groups to gather specific feedback to concept ideas. »Engagement Summary for Phase 2: HKGi will prepare a summary of what was heard during Phase 1 and present with visually pleasing infographics. fififfffffff Great river reGional trail hOw ARE PEOPLE uSING ExISTING PAVEd TRAILS TOdAy? walk 81% Run 36% BikE 77% skatEBoaRD 4% inlinEskatE 13%scootER 6% whEElchaiR 2% 4%2%i Don’t usE pavED tRails othER (RollER ski) why dON’T SOME PEOPLE uSE ThE TRAILS NOw? no intEREst FEEls unsaFE othER (DiDn’t know tRails ExistED) 14% 71% 14% If ThIS TRAIL IS cONSTRucTEd, hOw MANy wOuLd uSE IT?

Summaries with infographics help to share info back to the community Pop-up events are designed to bring information to where people are at, such as a Farmers Market. Task 3: Vision This task will also begin at the start of the project with a robust effort to gather and review community context information, including review of recent and relevant plans. HKGi will document the study area through photography and site documentation during the initial site visit. We will also build a body of base information that will include maps and summaries of transportation projects, demographics, community destinations, land uses (current and future), development projects, slope/drainage information, and all items that will help the team understand the context and background of the project area. Exploration will also be guided by information gathered through the Public Involvement Process. With context information in-hand, HKGi will draft a vision statement and goals and present them to the PMT for review and revision as needed. The vision and goals will guide the rest of the study and the implementation of subsequent recommendations. HKGi will prepare a context report summarizing all of the context information, vision and goals. The report, along with the draft vision and goals, will be shared via the project website. Task 3 Subtasks: »Gather/review community context information »Review of relevant plans and documents »GIS mapping »Prepare context report »Prepare vision statement and goals »Update project website »Revisions to vision, goals, context report as guided by PMT 5 Proposal - Scandia City Center Study - Washington County Task 4: Transportation Mode Data Collection In collaboration with HKGi, TC2 will lead the transportation mode data collection and evaluation. We will analyze various transportation characteristics to identify issues and needs within the study area. Characteristics will include safety, traffic volume, and corridor capacity in relation to key land use, travel pattern, and facility types/ gaps. From a crash history perspective, TC2 will leverage historical crash data using MnCMAT to identify trends and hotspots, including a frequency and severity comparison to locations with similar characteristics. From a traffic volume perspective, TC2 will review historical traffic data and coordinate with county staff to use Streetlight to supplement various transportation mode data. TC2 will also request from county staff various origin-destination, mode/user data, speed, and traffic volume information to help evaluate infrastructure needs to support the future vision for the City Center. Traffic forecasts will be used to evaluate potential land use or transportation network changes. We will conduct preliminary capacity analyses, as needed, to test various roadway, traffic control, and multimodal changes within the City Center and to compare potential alternatives. This analysis will also inform the phasing plan and help identify future funding opportunities to aid in implementation. An iterative process will be used to understand how various land use or transportation network changes could influence the vision for the community. At the conclusion of this task, a Transportation Analysis Report will be prepared to summarize the findings. The report will be published on the project website and will be written with a public audience in mind, with supporting graphics and definitions. Task 4 Subtasks: »Transportation Analysis »Crash and Safety Analysis »Streetlight Analysis »Transportation Forecasting »Prepare Transportation Analysis Report »Update project website Task 5: Recommendations and Feasibility Review In the Spring of 2024, with context information, transportation analysis, a vision and goals, and Phase 1 public feedback in-hand, the project team will begin drafting concepts and recommendations for the Scandia City Center. Plan diagrams that identify specific projects, whether part of the public ROW or as development projects on specific sites, will be created. Supporting graphics such as sections, perspective sketches, and supporting precedent imagery, will also be created or compiled. HKGi will work across disciplines within the firm to bring multiple perspectives to the draft recommendations. Alongside the ideas, a draft implementation and prioritization plan will be created. This will provide a framework for sequencing based on a variety of factors such as construction feasibility, land availability, concurrence with other planned projects, and input provided by the community and PMT regarding priorities. A workshop-style meeting will be facilitated with the PMT to review the concepts and draft plans, and HKGi will revise the ideas according to feedback gathered. With refined draft concepts, we will also prepare high level cost assessment and investigate funding sources for priority projects. Materials created as part of this task will be integrated into Phase 2: Respond to Ideas of the Public Involvement Plan. As an optional subtask, HKGi will prepare a 3D rendering of an identified focus area within the City Center, as an additional means for communicating an innovative idea to the public. Datasets provided by Streetlight, Replica, Strava Metro, and other agencies can be referenced to understand demographics of the area. 6 Work Plan and Schedule Task 5 Subtasks: »Draft concepts and recommendations »Draft implementation and prioritization plan »Workshop with PMT to review »Refinement of draft materials »Cost and funding source exploration »Update project website with draft materials »Optional Subtask: Prepare 3D rendering of a focus concept element, such as a new site development or intersection improvement Task 6: Final Report and Study Closeout HKGi will build the components of the final report along the way as tasks are completed with the engagement summaries, transportation analysis report, and context summary. With the finalization of the draft concept materials, HKGi will compile the most relevant and useful information into a report document, along with appendices as needed. HKGi will provide staff and the PMT with a draft layout and outline and sample of graphic style before proceeding with the full draft report. The PMT will then review the draft report and HKGi will revise per comments received.

Most recent clients have included Washington County and the Cities of Woodbury, Mendota Heights, Farmington, and Hastings, Minnesota. For each of these projects, HKGi’s planners have provided community engagement leadership as well as providing technical expertise for data collection and analysis, route alignment, LTS analysis, crossing safety and design analysis, connectivity and access planning, funding strategies, and implementation prioritization. More details about several of these recent plans can be found in the Appendix beginning on page 22. Downtown and Corridor Planning HKGi has several examples of downtown and corridor planning projects that demonstrate our experience and ability to help communities design public spaces and outdoor amenities that strengthen the character and quality of the landscape, improve safety and the vibrancy of the community, and can be used to bring community members together and spark economic growth. Some of HKGi’s more recent projects that are relevant to the Scandia City Center Study include the ACE Corridor Study in White Bear Lake and downtown planning initiatives in Dilworth, Fergus Falls, and Golden Valley. More details about these projects can also be found in the Appendix beginning on page 22. High Cliff Connection Master Plan East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission - HKGi recently conducted a planning process to identify feasible trail alignments to connect downtown Menasha to High Cliff State Park and create a much-needed bike/ ped corridor serving the Fox Cities metropolitan area. The trail corridor will also provide opportunities to connect to the surrounding communities along the corridor. While this is a trail planning project, many of the tasks conducted for this project are similar to those required for the City Center study. This project included an in-depth, data-driven analysis of factors such as transportation activity, travel destinations, current conditions, and current bicycle and pedestrian routes within and adjacent to the trail search corridor. The final study report also included safety improvement recommendations at street crossings and illustrations to guide trail design.

In the initial phase of the project HKGi and its consultant partner CivicBrand collected input from stakeholders from across the County and conducted a detailed existing conditions analysis. Engagement activities included pop-up meetings at community events such as the Tour de Hugo and a local bluegrass festival. The existing conditions report included analyses of Level of Comfort, trip orientation-destination, demographic/population trends, crash data, and demand. In subsequent phases of the project the planning team established a hierarchy of existing routes and trails and identified recommended new or improved routes. HKGi also helped the County prioritize recommended improvement projects by identifying low cost/high benefit improvements as well as crossings and focus areas that will have the greatest impact on safety and usage of the network. Engagement included pop-up surveys, online interactive input, and awareness campaigns to spark interest and solicit greater input for planning efforts. HIGHLIGHTS Social Pinpoint™ used for online engagement, enabling collection of detailed, location-specific input Enhanced branding to increase visibility of the project and solicit greater quantity of input Focus on identifying low-cost/high- benefit improvement initiatives 23 Proposal - Scandia City Center Study - Washington County < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide Arts, Culture and Education Corridor Study White Bear Lake, Minnesota - HKGi worked with City staff and a collection of community organizations in White Bear Lake to explore ways in which land use, connectivity, placemaking, and urban design can enhance the work of the arts, cultural and educational organizations in the area, facilitate greater collaboration and communication, and complement White Bear Lake’s thriving downtown. HKGi engaged stakeholders in exploring ideas for improving or enhancing the district’s character, accessibility, and vibrancy through streetscape improvements, improved connectivity not only for autos but also for bicyclists and pedestrians, and the creation of public spaces that could offer the community places for informal gathering and events. Stakeholder feedback led to the establishment of some common themes and goals to guide development and investment strategies. Some of the recommendations for improvements to the built environment in the corridor include traffic calming, more and safer spaces for pedestrians and greater connectivity throughout, wayfinding, streetscape furnishings that contribute to the area’s feeling as a destination, and land use policies that allow for flexibility and creativity in re-use of existing properties. HIGHLIGHTS Creation of a market street streetscape concept Establishment of a community-based vision for the ACE corridor Strategies for creating better bike-ped connectivity to the downtown from adjacent neighborhoods Strategies to integrate wayfinding and other street furnishing and character elements within the corridor 24 Appendix C: Experience < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide High Cliff Connection Master Plan East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission - HKGi recently conducted a planning process to identify feasible trail alignments to connect downtown Menasha to High Cliff State Park and create a much-needed bike/ped corridor serving the Fox Cities metropolitan area. The trail corridor will also provide opportunities to connect to the surrounding communities of Appleton, Neenah, Fox Crossing, Village of Harrison, Village of Sherwood, Kimberly and Combined Locks. The planning process included multiple phases of engagement to ensure that stakeholders throughout the corridor would have opportunities to provide input into the trail’s alignment and development. The HKGi planning team also conducted an in-depth, data-driven analysis of factors such as transportation activity, travel destinations, current conditions, and current bicycle and pedestrian routes within and adjacent to the trail search corridor. The analysis was used to identify potential routes through the study area, which spans urban, suburban development, and rural areas. The final study report also included recommendations for safety improvements at street crossings and illustrations to guide design issues such as trail corridor geometry. HIGHLIGHTS Trail corridor alignment that passed through an urban downtown, suburban communities, and rural townships Extensive engagement process including pop-up booths at several community events and farmers markets Data-driven analysis was used to evaluate potential route options and make informed decisions about recommended alignments 25 Proposal - Scandia City Center Study - Washington County < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide Mobility Planning Richfield, Minnesota - Planners from HKGi have been working with City of Richfield staff and the city’s consulting engineer to conduct a series of mobility-related planning studies, grant applications, and improvement projects. The planning initiatives not only represent an effort to implement some high-priority improvement projects, but they also represent an effort to better coordinate the city’s mobility planning across departments. The effort has integrated mobility-related planning direction and policies from a variety of city planning documents and attempts to leverage those different directives towards creating a more coherent set of implementation steps. Included in the effort is the Corridors of Commerce initiative, which proposes bike-ped improvements along the Hwy. 62 corridor (graphic above). HKGi also hosted a community winter biking, walking, and workshop event (pictured at right) to solicit community input and to gather community members who are interested in supporting new bike-ped improvements in the city. HKGi also provided leadership for grant applications to solicit funds for bike-ped improvements at two key locations, 66th Street and 73rd Street. 26 Appendix C: Experience < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide HIGHLIGHTS Identifying ways in which land use offers ways to encourage or facilitate multi-modal transportation Engage community members to understand their needs, concerns and desires for bicycle and pedestrian improvements and their usage patterns Identify methods for ensuring current system can be maintained For this Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, the HKGi team created a map book to illustrate the variety of technical data that was collected and analyzed and used to inform recommendations in the plan. Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Woodbury, Minnesota - HKGi recently led the process to create a bicycle pedestrian plan for this fast-growing east metro community. At the beginning of this project, HKGi’s planners worked with the City to identify a set of project objectives that would suit Woodbury’s current development context while also helping the City prepare for expansion of the bicycle and pedestrian network in already developed areas and in parts of the city yet to be developed. Engagement emphasized developing a better understanding of the public’s needs and concerns when walking and biking in the community. Some of the primary concerns for this plan were to identify system preservation strategies for maintaining the existing system in a “state of good repair;” addressing key crossing safety issues throughout the community so the City can adequately prepare investment plans and compete for multi-modal transportation grant programs; improve or enhance neighborhood connectivity to destinations such as parks, schools, athletic facilities, and business centers; improve multi-modal access to the planned Gold Line BRT corridor; and incorporate direction from other planning documents into this plan. 27 Proposal - Scandia City Center Study - Washington County < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Mendota Heights, Minnesota - HKGi recently completed a new Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for Mendota Heights, which is located at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers and is also bisected by several expressways that act as barriers to bicycle and pedestrian connectivity. Because of its location, the community is a destination for cyclists, hikers, and paddlers from around the Twin Cities. As a result of the city’s unique context, HKGi’s plan provides several strategies for creating a safer, more welcoming environment for multi- modal transportation. The plan provides guidance for planning and designing amenities such as protected bike lanes, off-street shared paths, grade-separated and at-grade crossings, and ways to integrate the community’s network with existing trails and greenways. The plan includes more than forty recommended improvement projects, ranging from new trails to crossing improvements. The plan also identifies potential pavement treatments, street furnishings, lighting, and other elements that can be incorporated into improvement projects to create optimal environments for cyclists and pedestrians. HIGHLIGHTS Provides a variety of strategies to mitigate the barriers to connectivity presented by four expressways intersecting this relatively small community Features several high-quality section illustrations that provide guidance for road, bikeway, trail, and crossing geometry and design 28 Appendix C: Experience < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide HIGHLIGHTS Water and natural resources planning is key project driver The parkway is a significant amenity for neighborhoods across south Minneapolis Creative ideas for new park amenities that are appropriate for the corridor and can work in concert with flood mitigation/storm water facilities Downtown Study Phase 2 - Walk/Bike Connectivity Golden Valley, Minnesota - As part of the planning process for downtown Golden Valley, HKGi produced a Walk/Bike Connectivity engagement report to better understand what improvements could be made in the downtown area to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The engagement effort was also intended to lay the foundation for new partnerships between businesses, residents, the City and community organizations to support and encourage biking and walking to and within downtown. Engagement included three booths, temporary wayfinding kiosks, and a bike corral at the Golden Valley Arts and Music Festival and Luce Line Regional Trail. A walk/bike audit was also conducted. The report summarizes engagement findings and also includes detailed engagement responses that can help inform the City and other stakeholders as they identify investments, improvements, and additional development opportunities. Engagement findings indicated a wide variety of potential barriers to walking and cycling. These barriers range from safe crossings and traffic behaviors to land uses and building configurations. The report also includes seven recommended next steps. The final study report for Phase 2 identified a variety of opportunities for improving bike/walk connectivity for the downtown area. 29 Proposal - Scandia City Center Study - Washington County < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide HIGHLIGHTS Downtown plan integrated with HKGi’s Glacial Edge Regional Trail Master Plan Engagement included 2-day design charrette and developer’s roundtable Redevelopment concepts for 5 key opportunity sites River balcony concept currently in implementation phase Downtown and Riverfront Master Plan Fergus Falls, Minnesota - An HKGi-led planning team conducted a master planning process for redevelopment of the downtown and the riverfront along the Otter Tail River in Fergus Falls. The extensive project area along the river corridor featured a variety of landscapes, character elements, and redevelopment opportunities and challenges. For each area the planning team developed strategies to address topics such as connectivity, gateways, river views, land uses, and opportunity sites with an emphasis on ensuring that redevelopment would accommodate new recreational trails and amenities that connect the community to its riverfront. The team created redevelopment concepts for five key opportunity sites, including street section illustrations, precedent imagery, and implementation strategies. Concepts include a riverfront balcony and amphitheater, the revival of a civic mall concept, new mixed-use and multi-family housing, and new park and trail amenities along the riverfront that feature new opportunities for water-based recreation on the river. 30 Appendix C: Experience < For full cutsheet, align sidebar to this guide Downtown Reinvestment Study Dilworth, Minnesota - HKGi and TC2 recently collaborated on a corridor study for Highway 10, which also serves as Dilworth’s Main Street. The corridor study focused primarily on addressing roadway improvements to manage traffic and improve safety. As the corridor study progressed, the City recognized the need to better understand the relationship between land uses and the highway corridor and commissioned HKGi to conduct the Downtown Reinvestment Study. HKGi’s planners engaged community stakeholders to establish a set of goals to guide the downtown’s future, and then the planning team proceeded to explore with the community a series of potential land use, redevelopment and public improvement scenarios. These explorations and scenarios included bicycle and pedestrian network improvement initiatives, gateway opportunities, highway buffer and transition opportunities, infill and redevelopment opportunities, streetscape enhancements, and park and open space opportunities. The study also addressed topics such as stormwater treatment, building facade improvements, parking, and downtown housing or live/work spaces. HIGHLIGHTS Addresses reinvestment strategies for three “districts” in the downtown corridor Illustrative concepts to provide a greater level of detail in potential redevelopment scenarios and to offer the city a variety of potential redevelopment directions Action strategies recommended in three different categories: Reinvestment, Building Design, Sense of Place, Transportation, Parking, and Environmental 31 Proposal - Scandia City Center Study - Washington County ReConnect Rondo Master Plan TC2 is working with the non-profit organization ReConnect Rondo to prepare a Neighborhood Master Plan for the Historic Rondo area. The vision is to reconnect the Rondo Neighborhood through strategic planning, engineering, and stakeholder engagement processes that will outline the communities aspirations for their future. The following key elements are being considered through this process with technical study and analysis for each: »Transportation and Mobility »Parks and Open Space »Economic Opportunity »Housing Development »Environment and Resilience »History, Culture, and Art The outcome of this work will be a Master Plan that embraces the historical context of Rondo built upon its current and future demographics, based on their aspirations for the built environment, and supported by significant natural environmental consideration. Fernbrook Lane Corridor Study TC2 is working with the City of Maple Grove to prepare a corridor study for Fernbrook Lane between County Road 81 and 93rd Avenue. The roadway was recently transferred from Hennepin County to City jurisdiction. The study segment bisects two area schools and has a regional trail crossing; the northern segment is also planned to be realigned, likely reducing future traffic volumes on the corridor. The goal of the study is to quantify existing/future issues and needs, facilitate a visioning exercise with area stakeholders, evaluate potential alternatives, and develop the future corridor vision and implementation plan. A context-sensitive and cost- effective solution is desired to serve the community for years to come.
