The <br />specific tasks of this portion of the work would include: <br />2.1 Conduct worlcshop one with focus group to gain an understanding of tha character of <br />Mounds View as perceived by the community, and to identify �desired qualities of a design <br />theme for the Highway 10 corridor. <br />The third Eask is to expiore wh�i is possible, Given the conditzons that exist in the project area and <br />the desires of the community as defined in the first workshap, HKGi would prepare severai alternative <br />concepts for a design theme. Alternatives would be evaluated with the facus group at workshop twa, <br />and a preferred (or fina(} concept wouId he created.

We feel it wiil be <br />important to ieave the city with an outline for implementation of the final design, as well as a brief <br />report describing the process and resulcs. HKGi will present the design theme to the community, artd <br />then conclude the process with presentations to city boards and commissions.
