Project Approach 4 Pioneer Park Master Plan Phase I | City of Little Canada, Minnesota park with overview information and a QR code linked to the online mapping tool. This is a low-cost, high-impact strategy to meet users where they are – at Pioneer Park! In-Person Engagement Our team is equipped to engage people where they are and share information in formats that work for them. Over the past 12 months, we have retooled our in-person engagement practices to ensure the safety of those we are trying to reach is maintained through social distancing and in line with CDC guidelines related to COVID-19. We realize some input opportunities must occur in-person due to multiple factors – proclivity of certain stakeholders providing input online and inaccessibility to technology being a few. Example of visual representation of comments received Whether in-person or digital, our team will summarize all stakeholder input solicited through this process and include it with the final master plan report. Deliverables • INPUTiD online mapping tool displaying park concepts • Summary of gathered input Final Master Plan Report Maddie will compile the design process into the master plan report. This document will guide the city in budgeting for implementation of recommended components to construct in 2022. The master plan report will clearly identify the scope of recommended improvements, including the characteristics and performance requirements comprising recommended trail improvements and integrated lighting, all-inclusive playground feature enhancements, and water feature improvements. This will include identified locations and capital improvements necessary for each of the desired elements expressed as a descriptive narrative, recommended location, approximate size, and any specialty features. Our team will also develop estimated planning level construction costs for the recommended improvements to aid city budgeting discussions. In addition, we will create an implementation plan outlining short-, mid-, and long- term improvement opportunities. This implementation plan will identify improvements that can be constructed in tandem with other elements, creating cost efficiencies and ensuring acceptable access levels are maintained. To ensure the city is aware of ongoing maintenance needs, Bolton & Menk will provide information related to maintenance requirements and general schedule considerations for budget needs planning. We will work with the city to determine appropriate numbers for each activity and form a planning-level basis for ongoing needs with recommended improvement features. Project Funding Bolton & Menk routinely delivers projects in line with available funding opportunities. Whether through capital improvement planning or grant applications, our team can identify a funding strategy to transform plans to constructed projects.
