In Minneapolis, Minnesota, projects pass an important milestone of layout approval by the City Council, typically about 2 years before construction begins. This concludes the largest community engagement phase, and gives assurance that the design and construction teams can proceed without major changes.

As the lead planner, I drafted the briefing materials for the City Council, and gave presentations if needed. The links below are the briefing file for each significant project I led. Each one also has an attachment labeled “concept layout” that shows a visual representation of the future street design.
