<br />Project Experience
<br />Dakota Rail Regional Trail, Three Rivers Park District, Minnesota. Stewart was a primary author for the Dakota Rail Regional Trail Master
<br />Plan and was actively involved in all public open houses and in individual landowner meetings held in communities along the trail corridor. He
<br />assisted in the design development for the trail with a focus on amenities such as trail heads, rest stops, and rain gardens. During construc-
<br />tion, Stewart served as both project engineer and as construction administrator.
<br />Bottineau Community Works Infrastructure Advanced Planning, Twin Cities, Minnesota. Stewart worked to advance the planning and
<br />design of desired pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure enhancements to facilitate the safe, comfortable, and convenient access to and from
<br />the planned stations. This design involved researching the feasibility of shared mobility features to supplement the pedestrian and bicycle
<br />facilities being proposed for the corridor. Shared mobility features, such as bike sharing, allow for increased use of new bicycle facilities, while
<br />others will support alternative approaches for transit users to make first and last mile connections.
