Lift Up Lyndale Location: Nicollet Ave and Lake St, Minneapolis Year: Spring 2013 Project Type: Redevelopment Team: Jared Staley, L. Hansen, A. Kleppin, J. Kramer, and C. McGuire Brigl Lift Up Lyndale looks at one of Minneapolis’s most notorious intersections at Lake and Nicollet in the Lyndale Neighborhood. The existing big box retail development has cut off the flow of traffic along Nicollet Avenue, effectively creating an unfavorable environment for neighborhood residents and visitors alike compared to the
environment just north of the intersection. This project focuses on a way to open the intersection while also supporting the existing communities and negating potential displacement. The process through which this was proposed was a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA). This project was seen as a foundation for which the neighborhood organizations affected and the city could begin their own negotiations.

Based on aerial imaging, the lot coverage in the area needs to be addressed. Creative, temporary solutions will help solve this in the interim.
With a high concentration of local businesses north of the site, there is strong potential for further growth in the future.
Off street parking should be heavily limited considering the volume of on-street parking in the area.

NEW 29TH STREET
103
121
To facilitate east-west non-motorized access through the neighborhood, the northernmost portion of the K-Mart site should utilized for the development of a new 29th Street. This street would be restricted to bicycle and pedestrian use only, maintaining a high quality design that is visually stimulating while functionally efficient. While this street is likely to be a public sector investment, this it is certain to be an amenity for any potential development, and public-private partnership should be leveraged if possible.

MAINTAIN & ENHANCE GREENWAY ACCESS
2
The Midtown Greenway, Minneapolis’ premier and most utilized bicycle facility, currently maintains ramp access on the northern end of the bridge over Nicollet Ave. While access to this ramp is currently sub-standard, maintaining and enhancing access to this ramp is a necessity and will significantly support non-motorized access to the throughout the neighborhood.

Wherever possible, pedestrian crossing distances should be minimized to the greatest degree achievable. While street and sidewalk improvements will be largely publicly financed, private development should work to integrate its points of entry and egress with planned pedestrian infrastructure to encourage safety and efficiency.
PROVIDE TEMPORARY BIKE PARKING
Temporary bicycle parking should be provided wherever practical. Temporary bicycle parking allows for efficient access to nearby businesses and entertainment amenities, and reduces the need for car storage - an expensive component of development.
7 ENCOURAGE NICE RIDE
INTEGRATE TRANSIT ACCESS INTO THE SITE PLAN
Transit stops must be easy to walk and bike to, and must be thoughtfully integrated into new developments. Future development must be built with the expectation that transit will be a practical means of interfacing with the site, and building form and site plans should be conducive to promoting transit access and efficiency.
A portion of the K-Mart site should be dedicated to public space where people can gather, work, and play. This space should be easy to navigate to on foot or by bike, and should incorporate design elements that enhance the pedestrian environment (i.e. unique lighting, street furniture, and public art). Since a high-quality public space is an undeniable amenity, private sector investment should be leveraged to the greatest degree possible.
MINIMIZE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING DISTANCES
INTEGRATE WITH THE EXISTING & PLANNED BICYCLE NETWORK
To strengthen bicycling as a practical means of transportation, integrating with the existing and planned bicycle network is paramount. While Nicollet near Lake Street is not identified for bicycle facilities in the Minneapolis Bicycle Master Plan, Blaisdell Ave and 1st Ave South surrounding the K-Mart site have existing bicycle lanes and are identified as future protected bikeways. Access must be provided to these facilities to facilitate connectivity.
CREATE NEW PUBLIC SPACE & LEVERAGE PRIVATE INVESTMENT

Nice Ride, the Twin Cities’ bikeshare system, should be accommodated on site. Nice Ride stations encourage short distance trips by bicycle, and when paired with transit, can increase trip distances while decreasing the reliance on single occupancy vehicles - particularly useful for a busy urban location like Lake and Nicollet.
EXAMPLES OF COMMUNITY BENEFIT AGREEMENTS IN ACTION: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA -

Perhaps the most famous example of a CBA. After problems in the early phases of the project, the community leveraged their support of the final phase to negotiate permanent park space, recreational facilities, employment opportunities to neighbors, permanent affordable housing, public safety concerns and traffic/parking issue. Staples Center, Los Angeles
Park East Corridor, Milwaukee, WI This redevelopment of a large downtown corridor was approached with no single proposal or developer in play. To make the CBA work, it was implemented through legislation rather than through private negotiation. It was then incorporated into the county plan, and includes a community and economic development fund financed by land sales.

IMPROVED BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENTS Increased safety and amenities for cyclists and pedestrians. Transitioning the area away from auto-centric usage.
TRANSIT CENTER & ADEQUATE TRANSIT STRUCTURES Bus stops should be upgraded with benches and shelters. A Transit Center with lockers and bike racks introduced at Lake & Nicollet intersection.
2% PROJECT BUDGET DEDICATED TO PUBLIC ART New developments will devote 2% of their total budget to public art installation. A modest increase on the standard 1% to create an iconic community character.
INCORPORATION OF TEMPORARY USE SPACES Spaces for temporary uses such as retail, food service and community events.
IMPLEMENTATION When new permanent appointments are made to the Lyndale Neighborhood Association and Whittier Alliance boards, these organizations must work together to accurately and fairly represent their constituents’ needs to the city and potential developers. The CBA must be a iterative process. The public engagement process will allow an agreement to be reached. Developers must then implement the CBA’s elements in their projects. Neighborhood organizations will monitor this progress and evaluate how successfully their goals are being achieved. The engagement process then begins again to refine the CBA, allowing it to continue to meet stakeholder needs as they change with time.

Making it to the Market Location: West Broadway Corridor, Minneapolis Year: Spring 2017 Project Type: Transit Hub Analysis Team: Jared Staley The West Broadway Business and Area Coalition (WBC) has proposed a public market that would reinvigorate the West Broadway Corridor’s economy and provide much needed public space to the neighborhood’s residents. The West Broadway Corridor symbolizes many of the difficulties that North Minneapolis and its residents face including socio-economic strains, food access and overall
14 Jared Staley
disinvestment from the broader community. The community has been considerably resilient in the face of these hardships. The West Broadway Corridor is poised for continued redevelopment to support a diverse community that aligns with neighborhood goals. Based on work regarding the siting and vision of a public market along this corridor, the present work focuses on accessibility issues related to the project.

Niekamp 5 Points’ aim is to reflect the qualities that each of the 5 accredited architecture schools in Ohio and Ohio itself boast. The form of 5 Points reads as if the land from Ohio is peeled and manipulated to house the Center “in Ohio.” The library and meeting place merge into one and serve as the center of knowledge and community,
for, as architects, we learn best when we openly discuss current and past work. This space’s corner location allows for a literal transparency between the pin-ups and the public inviting them to view into the building and admire the works in progress on display, integrating them into the design process. The studio is pulled from the library and collaboration area, allowing for ease of access to research and thoughtful discussion.

Klinkenberg This project re-envisions how people use the Tiber River, how the Ponte Cestio and Ponte Palatino bridge the historic city center and the more residential, Trastevere regions. The historic site posed several restrictions, but the team ultimately decided to place the Tiber Historic Museum and Exhibitions underground. This

decision preserved the historic landscape and also provided pleasurable access to the riverside. Bringing access to the river is important in order to renew attention and attraction to the river. The current state of the river often goes unnoticed. As an integral part to the development of the historic city and it’s representation as a source of life, it’s important for the Roman community to utilize and recognize the river.

Kowalski, R. Laber, R. Lott, J. Morris, J. Ogden, B. Paulsen + H. Tate Kinnear Road is in dire need of revitalization, raising its standards to match those of the University to which it is closely related. The standards of the world-ranked research park residing on the stretch and the standards of the
thousands of employees, residents, faculty and students need to find balance. A reconstruction of the road system, implementation of public transport, sidewalks, amenities and sustainable practices will not only beautify the area, but make it a heavily visited campus sector that improves the quality of life for all. Hypothesis, the aptly named research park, will be an economic driver for the neighboring communities but also the Columbus Community at large. With this plan, the overlooked area will no longer be forgotten.

Fernando Burga, PhD Mamas Unidas is an organization founded by Latina mothers in the San Jose, California area. The group informally organized as a way to advocate for their children’s inclusion and success in elementary school. Once the children advanced past primary education, the founding
mothers began to organize to advocate for the Latinx community in San Jose. Given the various citizenship statuses and business experience of members, formalizing the organization is difficult. In order to help formalize the group and provide more legitimacy, the team led several workshops with the women. The focus centered on generating mission, vision and value statements and an online presence. The team later continued their workshops with similar groups in Southeastern Minnesota.

WINDOW WELL STUDY
Exploring Tools for Representing Space and Forms In this project, we explored various tools that are useful for representation of public space. Running the gamut from basic freehand drawing, to synthesizing multiple sophisticated design software programs, our studies gave us valuable introductory level familiarity with the powerful tools that planners have at their disposal.
OLIVIA DOROW HOVLAND, SUMMER 2016
Description:
I completed this project as part of Professor Fernando Burga’s course, Graphics for Planners. The study consists of a site plan, perspective, and section of a window well structure in the courtyard of the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. The window well has a granite ledge surrounding it and eight triangular skylights sitting within it. I also completed two sketches of the structure.
Method:
As a class we observed and measured the structure and completed sketches. I created the visuals in AutoCAD, Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
Practice use of hand sketching, Autocad, Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign by documenting the light well outside of the Humphrey School.
The space we used as the subject of our studies is located between the Humphrey School and the Wilson Library on the U of M’s West Bank Campus. Pictured to the right is a photo of part of the area with a line of trees added in through Photoshop as a demonstration of that program’s functionality. Located directly below, a complete site plan is shown.
DOCUMENTATION
photographs and hand sketching
We started our project by walking into the Humphrey Courtyard to inspect a compilation of skylights. We photographed, measured and sketches the structure to get a general understanding of the whole. We body height, strides and other objects to obtain approximate measurements of raised skylight form. We were trying to get the most crucial measurements for use in the upcoming steps.

We then began simplifying our drawings into easier to read diagrams. With the combination of quick sketches, measurements and photos, we could produce more accurate plans and sections. With the legible drawings, it was easier to input the measurements into Autocad for a computerized version of the drawings. Ultimately, the Autocad version became the cleanest drawing we had had up to this point, with perfectly straight lines and precise intersections.

PRESENTATION
Below are renderings of the plan, section and elevation views of our subject. These representations are the product of multiple steps and multiple programs. We began with free-hand sketches, which introduced us to some of the benefits and challenges of working in the field. We then brought our sketches and best estimates of dimensions to the lab to be for input into AutoCAD, which allowed us to render our sketches electonically. We imported our AutoCAD renderings into Adobe Illustrator which allowed us to retain our layers and set line weights accordingly.
Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign
Finally, we used the Adobe Suite programs to edit our Autocad drawings for legibility and aesthetics sake. In Illustrator, we shaded the area cut by the section, edited line weights for hierarchy and added dimensions. In Photoshop, we were able compile photos for a collage that might better illustrate the site at a glance. InDesign was then used to compile our entire study into one 11x17 composition.

Free-hand Drawings Before employing the use of InDesign, AutoCAD Illustrator or Photshop, we relied on free-hand sketches to document the site in the field. Starting the analysis with this purely empirical approach allowed me to understand more deeply the real world functionality of the various design programs when we used them later on. I think this chronology served me well, as I was better able to perservere whenever I found the software programs to be cryptic and frustrating, knowing that working through frustrations would allow me to harness some very

PA 5290 provides a comprehensive introduction to the representational software tools commonly used in the urban planning profession. The course also aims to establish a workflow among digital programs to deliver a professional quality graphic product. The knowledge of these tools offer urban planners the capacity to represent ideas, communicate messages and provide greater marketability for planning products. This course is intended as a companion course to PA 5211 Land use Planning, where the application of these tools will be fundamental for success of student work. The objectives of this course aim to provide students with the basic fundamentals of graphic representation related to the field of planning and to help students be more successful in its companion course PA5211. Specifically, this course will provide students with a essential skills in the following programs and techniques: • • • • •
Free-Hand drawing Adobe InDesign Adobe Illustrator Adobe Photoshop AutoCAD
To achieve these objectives, this course will have three phases: Phase 1 (Day 1 morning): The course will start by introducing free-hand drawing, graphic representation and the orthographic projections: plan, section, and elevation. Phase 2 (Day 1 afternoon + Day 2 morning): The course will follow by transitioning into the digital graphic representation of a particular area in the public space between the Humphrey School of Public Affairs and Wilson Library in Minneapolis, MN. This set of exercises will explore a site’s existing conditions to practice particular graphic skills and conventions related to planning. This phase will focus on the digital reproduction of plans, elevations and sections based on the drawn data collected from the field. Phase 3 (Day 2 afternoon): The course will follow by focusing on the production of a poster board, bringing together several graphic elements. This will include freehand drawings, photos, digital icons and illustrator elements.

by resolution of the legislative authority of a municipal corporation based on age, rarity, architectural quality, or because of a previous designation by a historical society, association, or agency. Section 2: Community Reinvestment Areas The neighborhood organization or subjurisdictions may survey the housing within their jurisdictions and, after the survey, may adopt resolutions describing the boundaries of community investment areas which contain the conditions required for the finding under division (B) of section X of the Revised Code. The resolution adopted pursuant to this section shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the neighborhood or sub-jurisdiction, once a week for two consecutive weeks immediately following its adoption.

Creative Transformation
After touring the vacant floors with the building owner in 2013 while at a prior firm, Element co-founders began painting a vision for how the owner could improve the building’s value and cash flow by building creative office space. Tapping into the growing trend for brick and timber offices located in highly walkable areas, the renovation scope, budget and leasing plans presented to the owner were designed to be implemented after an anchor tenant was secured. Together, their vision was to see the property fully leased with market leading rents.
The building was in a completely raw state, with remnants of the original hotel rooms visible. The property transformation was not simple, but the team was passionate about the project’s potential and persevered to see their vision come to fruition. The key focus of the renovation was to retain and enhance the historic features, such as exposed brick, arched windows and wood truss ceilings. Hicks and Kuppe led the project team to work within structural constraints to create a multi-tenant second floor, concentrating interventions on the third floor to create a more open floor plate for a single tenant. They were able to find a solution to the complex problem of leveling the floors in the building without compromising the building’s architectural integrity. New bathrooms, glass demising walls and refinished lobby were added to realize the creative repositioning. Today, with the help of the shell architect, Mina Adsit of Adsit Architecture and Planning, and the beautiful tenant build outs designed by Shea, CTA and Studio BV, the building is a beautiful example of creative office with light and airy interiors.
The first step was to stabilize and reposition the retail tenants on the first floor. When a tenant’s lease expired, the team secured national retailer, Filson Shinola, for the corner space at market leading rents. Filson Shinola’s stunning store set the tone for the next level of North Loop retailing, and is often cited as an indicator of the neighborhood’s success. The remaining retail leases were negotiated to provide a long-term stable base for the proposed renovations. Hicks and Kuppe continued to clear project obstacles to commence renovation of the building with a range of strong, creative tenants. In the spring of 2015, the team secured a 10,000 square foot, 3rd floor lease that provided the owner with confidence to proceed with the renovation of the building. Construction started in July 2015, and the final lease for the building was signed in March of 2016.
Unearthing a gem in the North Loop with creative repositioning Built in 1865 as a hotel, the Pacific Flats building is a beautiful Italianate building located in the Historic Warehouse District of Minneapolis. Originally a multi-use building with storefronts at street level and a hotel occupying the upper two stories, the building was partially renovated in 2007 with four new retail tenants, but the upper floors remained vacant until Element’s team became involved. Over the course of four years, Element co-founders, JoAnna Hicks and Kevin Kuppe, worked with the building owner to renovate the upper floors, secure new tenants, and reposition the building as the premiere building within Minneapolis’s most popular and fastest growing neighborhood.
