PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />Bolton & Menk has led downtown planning and design projects across the Midwest, and beyond. Below are some examples of our downtown planning, <br />community engagement, public space, and infrastructure work. We would be happy to share additional experience or references upon request. <br />DOWNTOWN MONTICELLO MASTER <br />PLAN AND STREETSCAPE <br />CITY OF MONTICELLO, MINNESOTA <br />Monticello's downtown has been adversely impacted by regional <br />traffic and tensions over parking and density. The master plan created <br />a vision for downtown that connects the city's two most beloved <br />assets —the riverfront and the civic center —with a promenade lined <br />with new buildings, public art, and an all -ages trail. The plan converts <br />'retail -only' main street into an activate mixed -use destination. Since <br />plan was completion, more than 200 new housing units have been <br />developed, and key public spaces have been improved. <br />KEY TEAM MEMBERS: <br />Andrew Dresdner — Project Manager, Lead Designer <br />Britton Jones — Lead Landscape Architect <br />Mike Thompson — Planner <br />REFERENCE: <br />Angela Schumann, Community Development Director <br />763-271-3224, angela.schumann@ci.monticello.mn.us <br />PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />ROBBINSDALE DOWNTOWN AND <br />STATION AREA PLAN <br />CITY OF ROBBINSDALE, MINNESOTA <br />Our team, working with Hennepin County, the City of Robbinsdale, and <br />the Metro Blue Line Extension Project, established a downtown plan <br />for Robbinsdale that evaluated future development opportunities, <br />multimodal circulation improvements, and new public space <br />opportunities. Bolton & Menk led the entire downtown station area <br />planning and analysis for downtown Robbinsdale. The team provided <br />development alternatives and explored integration of new LRT <br />infrastructure with the future desired urban form and key public space <br />opportunities necessary to stitch together the city's center. <br />KEYTEAM MEMBERS: <br />Andrew Dresdner — Project Manager, Urban Designer <br />Mike Thompson — Deputy Project Manager, Lead Planner <br />Britton Jones — Lead Landscape Architect <br />Tim Olson — Stormwater Management <br />Ashley Hudson — Funding Lead <br />REFERENCE: <br />Tim Sandvik, MPNA, City Manager <br />763-531-1258, tsandvik@ci.robbinsdale.mn.us <br />DOWNTOWN SIOUX FALLS PLAN <br />UPDATE I LCG <br />CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA <br />Sioux Falls's downtown area had seen significant investment in recent <br />years, and was by all measures very successful, with a thriving retail <br />and entertainment scene, many new qualityjobs, and a range of urban <br />housing options. Through extensive stakeholder outreach including <br />interviews with developers, landowners, bankers, and brokers, LCG <br />helped to ensure that the plan updates were based on a sound <br />understanding of local and regional market supply and demand forces. <br />In addition to "right -sizing" expectations for future development <br />across major land use types, LCG's research led to recommendations <br />for prioritization of redevelopment opportunity nodes and advice for <br />how best to capitalize on emerging real estate trends. <br />KEYTEAM MEMBERS: <br />Ted Kamp — Project Manager, Lead Analyst <br />Jennifer Shuch — Analyst <br />REFERENCE: <br />Dustin Powers, Business Development Coordinator <br />605-367-8897, dpowers@siouxfalls.org <br />2024 DOWNTOWN SMALL AREA PLAN I ELK RIVER, MN 7 <br />Page 97 of <br />
