Technical and Design Services, Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot (NTP) Project

Community Design Group provided bicycle and pedestrian planning, community engagement, and technical assistance services to Twin Cities Metro-area jurisdictions as part of the $25 million Federal Non-motorized Transportation Pilot (NTP) grant administered by Transit for Livable Communities (TLC) and Bike Walk Twin Cities.

Improving cyclist and pedestrian safety, access and connections was a prominent goal of this work, as was supporting TLC's and Bike Walk Twin Cities' goals for inclusive and engaging public processes.

Edina GrandView District Development Framework Plan

Edina's GrandView District is one of the largest redevelopment sites within the city's boundaries, and is also an historically-important commercial and civic location. Many changes in the District’s land uses prompted the initiation of a community-led process to plan for its future - in consultation with residents, property owners, business owners and commercial property owners, to produce a guide for redevelopment.

Bike Walk Twin Cities Communications Campaign

Minneapolis is known as one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the nation - but there is still a lot more to do to invite new users from all Twin Cities communities to the system.

As part of the rollout of new bicycle infrastructure projects in locations throughout the Twin Cities, Transit for Livable Communities and Bike Walk Twin Cities funded a communications and marketing project to engage and invite new users to these facilities.

The 38th Street and Chicago Avenue Small Area / Corridor Framework Plan

Working closely with four of the most economically, ethnically and culturally diverse neighborhoods in Minneapolis (with a combined population of 23,000 people), CDG developed a placemaking and economic development blueprint offering specific guidance for supporting the revitalization of important neighborhood corridors and commercial nodes.

City of Edina 2007 Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan

In 2007, CDG worked closely with Edina residents and staff to develop the city’s first Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan, which continues to guide its infrastructure implementation decisions.
