Urban Design Framework University District METROPOLITAN DESIGN CENTER URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK for the UNIVERSITY DISTRICT Today, cities and, perhaps more precisely, cities and their specific regions are being rediscovered as magnets of creative energy and innovation. These city-regions have been able to create new and distinctive growth economies and lifestyles based on the ability to weave their reconstruction efforts, mixing together the physical with the cultural — an essential integration, shaped by the physiographic characteristics of each specific region.

Can the University District be positively transformed from its’ current urban untidiness and fragmentation into a cohesive network of well integrated walkable communities? 2. What are the critical obstacles preventing the advancement of a substantive The Changing Nature of the Neighborhood Fragmentation of the urban form brought on by alternative mobility urban design framework guiding this transformative process? frameworks 3. Can the Mississippi River again perform a critical regenerative role in the transformation of the University District? 4. Is there another way to think about finding solutions to difficult urban transformations outside from, or prior to, the conventional Master Planning process? The University District Alliance This project was done in collaboration with the University District Alliance, a coalition of leaders from the University, the neighborhoods and the City of Minneapolis. The University District Partnership Alliance was formed in 2007 authorized and funded by state legislation for the creation of a “University Partnership District.” The mandate “to form an Alliance to facilitate, initiate, or manage projects that are intended to maintain the University Partnership District as a viable place to study, research, and live” runs parallel to the Alliance Goal to have a campus/ community area that is a desirable and sustainable Historical Urban Growth place to live, learn, work, do business and visit.

  • Technical Report #166: I-35W Bridge Collapse and Response
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series I-35W Bridge Collapse and Response Minneapolis, Minnesota USFA-TR-166/August 2007 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property, but the primary T criterion for deciding to write a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire—the effect of building con- struction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new, but are serious enough to highlight once again because of another fire tragedy. In some cases, special reports are developed to discuss events, drills, or new technologies or tactics that are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at national and regional fire meetings. The reports are available on request from USFA. Announcements of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The USFA, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a commu- nity after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to ensure that USFA’s assistance and presence would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.

Zellie M.A., M.S., Principal Investigator Amy M. Lucas M.S. Landscape Research LLC 1466 Hythe Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 2009 This page intentionally left blank Management Summary In 2007, Hennepin County (HCWT) contracted with Landscape Research LLC to conduct a cultural resources study for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Corridor in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. This project is a component of the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Community Works Strategic Development Framework. The study area was defined by Hennepin County (Fig.1). It extends from 28th Street at the north to E. Minnehaha Parkway at the south, and includes the first tier of properties along the east side of Minnehaha Avenue. The project area extends across Snelling and Dight (Railroad) Avenues and includes properties along the east side of Hiawatha Avenue. The cultural resources study has two parts. The first provides a land use history for the project area, beginning with the development of the territorial road and rail corridor in the mid-19th century and extending through the 20th-century development of industry and housing. The land use history will provide information for Hennepin County planners and community stakeholders involved in future planning for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha corridor.
