<br />minnesota.uli.org 28 <br />CONCLUSION <br />The City of Little Canada is at a pivotal juncture, with opportunities to leverage its unique assets and address <br />its challenges through strategic development and use of the city-owned parcels. The recommendations <br />provided by the Technical Assistance Panel, if implemented thoughtfully, can serve as a roadmap for achieving <br />the city's vision for elevating its already vibrant, connected, and economically thriving community. <br /> <br />Prioritizing placemaking and walkability, with a focus on design standards and public realm improvements, will <br />enhance the city's appeal and foster a stronger sense of place. Strategic infrastructure investments, <br />particularly in sidewalks, trails, and site preparation, will lay the groundwork for successful development. <br />Targeted programmatic priorities, such as facade improvement programs and small business support, will <br />further bolster economic growth. <br /> <br />By creating Station Area and Small-Area Plans, and engaging in public-private partnerships, Little Canada can <br />effectively guide future development in a way that aligns with community values and aspirations. This <br />comprehensive approach, combining physical improvements with strategic initiatives, will not only enhance the <br />city's physical environment but also contribute to a higher quality of life for its residents. <br /> <br />The panel is confident that, by embracing these recommendations and working collaboratively with <br />stakeholders, Little Canada can achieve its goals and realize its full potential as a thriving and desirable <br />community in the Twin Cities region.
