Participants in Workshop #1 identii►ed issues related to <br />growth anddevelopment <br />. Demographics <br />. Land use <br />. Transportation patterns <br />focused on issue identification while the second <br />workshop focused on land use scenarios and <br />ridership. The process also included one-on-one <br />interviews with each participating community <br />that provided additional information regarding <br />potential development sites. <br />A study area inventory was taken for the North- <br />east Diagonal Corridor. This inventory included: <br />. Base mapping <br />GIS data gathering <br />. Background and field review <br />Additionally, a ridership market assessment of the study area was taken, including the analysis of <br />expected future demographics and travel patterns. A development framework map was created <br />and opportunity sites selected from which the land use/transit scenarios were developed. <br />DEMOGRAPHICS <br />Nearly half of the study area's total popu- <br />lation is found in the two westernmost <br />segments-Northeast Minneapolis and <br />St. Anthony. With Roseville, this west- <br />ern half of the study area contains 75% <br />of its total population. <br />The study area and the surrounding cit- <br />ies are growing at a modest pace. <br />. The population of the study area is aging; the youngest of the working adults, those most <br />likely to use transit, live the closest to the majorjob centers of downtown Minneapolis and <br />Roseville. <br />. Family and household sizes are dropping: the proportion of households is decreasing. <br />Northeast Diag�nal IAND uSE/tRANSIT Study <br />
