PROJECT OBJECTIVES <br /> To develop an image for Larpenteur Avenue which draws from the <br /> unique and significant urban design and natural resource elements <br /> that frame it. <br /> To create linkages across the street which minimize the impact of <br /> Larpenteur Avenue as a barrier. <br /> To minimize the potential adverse impacts of an improved <br /> Larpenteur Avenue on adjacent land uses. <br /> To bring the public and representatives of major corridor elements <br /> into the process as active participants. <br /> WORK PROGRAM <br /> Phase 1 Streetscape Plan <br /> Phase 1 will include the following: <br /> 1. A broad corridor evaluation including photoanalysis and <br /> mapping, to develop an understanding of the relationship of <br /> the corridor to its surroundings and identify areas that may <br /> offer streetscape opportunities or require special treatments to <br /> minimize roadway impacts. <br /> 2. The conduct of individual meetings (3 estimated) with key <br /> players including the University of Minnesota, the City of <br /> Falcon Heights, the Fair Board, Coffman representatives, and <br /> representatives of the Gibbs Farm and School to generate con <br /> cepts and ideas which relate to each and solicit project support <br /> and understanding. <br /> 3. The formulation of streetscape plans and alternative concepts <br /> for focus areas including street lighting, pavement treatments, <br /> bus stops, landscaping, grading, entries and signage elements. <br /> Final streetscape plans, at a schematic design level will be <br /> performed on AUTO CAD. <br /> Proposal Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape Plans Page 3 <br />
