1 SERVICE AREA DATA THEMES SUMMARY: The CAC was randomly broken up into 6 working groups. Each group reviewed the service area data packet and identified key themes that should be addressed in the upcoming design process. The following is a compilation of the themes identified organized by general subject and total votes. These themes will continue to be added to by project staff and a CAC online review processes. The themes will be shared with the design teams during the upcoming design week as a starting point for the park design process and to understand what is most apparent in the data across the service area and in each individual park. SCORING: Each theme identified by the CAC received one baseline vote. The additional votes came through the CAC s dot-mocracy activity where each CAC member was given 5 additional dots to vote for the themes that they most agreed with. THEMES # of Votes Green Space/Nature More open space/nature wanted 17 The three biggest investments are natural and green, gathering spaces, and 5 Very few natural areas 5 Few gardens- strong interest in gardens 3 Tree canopies show big gaps 3 Opportunity for habitat in the UM area, central area - more trees less pollution 3 Greater diversity of trees, especially fruit trees 3 Nature trails in parks 3 Pollinator 2 Community Garden, pollinator, natural space have shared interests and they are highly rated. Can this reinforce food. 2 Urban Agriculture Community Gardens are wanted 16 Not many food related programs 4 Food Programming 3 Not many fruit trees but strong interest in edibles 3 Community Garden, pollinator, natural space have shared interests and they are highly rated. Can this reinforce food. 2 Orchards 1 Multimodal Bike & pedestrian access and safety 7 Bike and walking trails within parks 5 Northern greenway 18th Ave 4 Higher bikes- lower access to cars 4 Areas with least amount of cars have fewest nearby parks and sidewalks 3 Ensure major connections are activated 3 Connectivity NE is cut off 2 Primary access was walking 2 Gaps in sidewalk connections in SE&NW 2 Nearly 70% of people are walking 2 Sidewalk density must equal park connectivity 2 Impressed by traffic to parks by foot 1 Pedestrian crashes artillery roads 1 Limited walking paths 1 Analysis connectivity and gaps 1 RESULTS FROM DATA JAM : 3/13/18

PARK DATA THEMES SUMMARY: The CAC was randomly broken up into 6 working groups. Each CAC group reviewed one of the park groups defined by a specific area within the service area.

3 PARK DATA THEMES SUMMARY: The CAC was randomly broken up into 6 working groups. Each CAC group reviewed one of the park groups defined by a specific area within the service area. The groups reviewed the data packet for their area and identified key themes that should be addressed in the upcoming design process. The following is a compilation of the themes identified (organized by park). Not every park was addressed in this meeting due to time limitations. GROUPS GROUP 1 BARTON TRIANGLE CALEB DORR CIRCLE CHERGOSKY PARK LUXTON PARK ORLIN TRIANGLE TOWER HILL PARK TOWERSIDE (NEW) GROUP 2 CHUTE SQUARE ELWELL PARK HOLMES PARK MARCY PARK VAN CLEVE PARK BRIDAL VEIL REGIONAL TRAIL/ GRAND ROUNDS GROUP 1 Chergosky gardens noise buffers access/sidewalk connectivity paths for walking bad air quality GROUP 3 BELTRAMI JACKSON SQUARE NORTHEAST ATHLETIC WINDOM PARK NE BRIDAL VEIL REGIONAL TRAIL/ GRAND ROUNDS GROUP 5 ARCHITECT BOTTINEAU COLUMBIA PARK HIVIEW XCEL ENERGY GROUP 4 DICKMAN PARK LOGAN PARK MONROE PLACE TRIANGLE SIBLEY TRIANGLE ST ANTHONY PARK WASHINGTON TRIANGLE GROUP 6 AUDUBON PARK CAVELL PARK DEMING HEIGHTS PARK OAK CREST TRIANGLE WAITE PARK BRIDAL VEIL REGIONAL TRAIL/ GRAND ROUNDS Luxton safety parking underdeveloped area Barton Triangle pollution littler noise buffer need to maintain safety/isolation worth maintaining? community garden

4 GROUP 1 continued Caleb Door Traffic sidewalk repair heavy traffic-vehicles no official name pollution signs-traffic Tower Hill historic no play space ADA compliance steep (railings) park benches Orlin ADA poorly maintained Towerside very popular a concern walkers sports/athletics GROUP 2 Holmes Park needs better signs indicating it is not part of Marcy school skate boards and biking parks upgrade playground equipment gathering spaces better grass need better Elwell Don't like current fence hidden parking lot public art Van Cleve address ADA complains great diversity, need diverse activities adult fitness programs preschool & child programs visibility pf building needs to be better improved picnic area court maintenance want skate park

5 GROUP 2 continued Marcy high density of use better use of space grills, community gathering space lots of hanging out ADA skate/bike park Chute Square ADA historic structure picnic tables with USB plug more pedestrian access gathering space GROUP 3 Jackson Square teen spaces indoor teen spaces sidewalk connections (midblock crossings, traffic calming) music play is popular better tot lot equipment connecting parking and bike racks to activity areas preserve basketball program conflicts (diamond and soccer field) large group gathering space Beltrami Circulation (midblock) Independent sports are popular gathering space (amphitheater, group) natural spaces traffic safety better quality paths Tree gap -confirm diversity Bike facilities group recreation that reflects shifting demographics the park's close proximity to the NE athletic facility may be affecting the use of the diamond

6 GROUP 3 continued Windom trails through parks need to be accessible walking is a priority energize/activate warming house during the summer large gathering space for big families to picnic green space + more athletic fields requested: can we do this together hilly park with high density of seniors - how accessible is upper park of park accessible pathways to activity areas better use of space more athletics connectivity to buildings more trees difficult bathroom access NE athletic crosswalks circulation neighborhood is less dense connectivity circulation GROUP 4 Dickman improvements parent seating more connection to the river better crosswalk pollinator garden ADA improvements senior programming Logan we would like to see participant #'s for baseball field improve SW quadrant of the park (activate) Sound blocking preschool age programming artistic signs/public art-highlight arts district better crosswalks St. Anthony Park connections to triangle parks in the area improvements to the hill-similar to gold medal park track look is a good idea Triangles (Washington, Sibley, and Monroe) public art gardens/pollinators

7 GROUP 5 Xcel great river road access drainage issues awkward layout urban agriculture more trees improve local access batting cage Hiview courts nature improve bathrooms trees Columbia Park Destination park courts picnic areas dog parks-large+small dog bike+pedestrian loop around park Bottineau trees improve park layout better pedestrian crossings Architect habitat enhancement urban agriculture sidewalks good pedestrian access

8 GROUP 6 Deming Heights highest point, beautiful trees, strong relationship to neighborhood strong naturalized park slow down traffic ADA accessibility need for interpretation (nature, signage, birdwatching) nature play Oak Crest stormwater or pollinator garden benches public art Waite more gathering places that are less isolated children's programming stormwater improvements (baseball) playground for younger children (replace field) schedule + programming fields entrance to rec center Audubon Park lack of accessibility most people travel by walking better walkways parking lot is in poor condition greenspace and courts are important what to do with area in middle of site (low area near ball fields) vehicular traffic is difficult more seating needed/improved need children's programming Cavell need better soccer fields improve restrooms accessibility (bike racks) desire for water feature/naturalized area (identity making) more seating
