At the request of Hennepin County and the City of St Louis Park, SRF completed a long-range plan to guide land use and transportation changes. We focused on the areas of redevelopment planning, market analysis and fiscal impacts, land use, transportation, and urban planning. Extensive stakeholder involvement occurred to solicit input and build consent. We developed a public involvement plan to elicit input from public agencies, local businesses, property owners, neighborhood residents, and developers during the planning process, which ensured that the needs of the neighborhood and primary stakeholders were understood. The end product provides the City with an understanding of the economic and physical influences that will affect the area in the future. Changes to Highway 100 access, rail crossings of Highway 100, and the arrival of LRT service are all anticipated in the next ten to 20 years. Redevelopment strategies and analysis of transportation, circulation and transit station locations, and market assessments of future land use change will assist the private and public sector alike in future decision-making for the Elmwood area. Our work on this project was completed during 2003. Heritage Park Redevelopment Master Planning Reference: Lois Eberhart, Public Works Interagency Coordinator.
