Our Work: Policy |
|
Each year, the Center provides an independent voice in the analysis of a public policy issue that impacts neighborhood livability and vitality. In developing and disseminating this analysis, we work to bring diverse perspectives together, to provide new information and to improve opportunities for public comment. |

| In 2002, the Center, in partnership with the Capital City Traffic Calming Alliance, Transit for Livable Communities, and the Minnesota Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance, undertook a Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Calming Initiative designed to identify the ways in which local communities can work to develop and support policies that promote safe routes for walking and biking throughout the region. | |
| In 2001, the Center convened a Task Force to identify a framework to assist the public sector in defining public art policies. The Public Art Policy Initiative reviewed funding, governance, management and maintenance issues that impact public art policy and identified critical priorities in the effective creation and support of public art. | |
