Description


Getting From Very Good to Great:

Making Complete Communities in the University District of Minneapolis


A Forum with Gil Penalosa

Wednesday, May 7, 2014


We are honored to host renowned speaker Gil Penalosa, a lifelong advocate for vibrant cities and healthy communities, and the design and use of parks and streets as great public places.

Following remarks by Mr. Penalosa, a panel of local experts and advocates will consider:

  • What are the most critical elements of "complete communities" for those working on local initiatives here in the Twin Cities?
  • What role do open spaces and parks have in framing the specific brand or identity of the University District (or any community)?
  • What are the greatest challenges facing the implementation of bike and walking initiatives?
  • The University District's streets have the highest bike and pedestrian counts in the region. What are best strategies for taming conflicts between travel modes, specifically bikes/pedestrians as well as bikes/vehicles?

If you must drive to the forum, parking is recommended at the Weisman Art Museum garage, entrance at 333 E. River Parkway. For directions go to

The Weisman is adjacent to Coffman Memorial Union, and convenient to the Washington Avenue SE Metro Transit stops.

The forum is FREE--but please register by clicking the green "Register" button.
