#RCP 2017-8d December 18, 2017 <br />Group 3 (Greenway Accessibility) <br />1. How accessible is the greenway? <br />• As the greenway stands now, what is the average distance between Ramsey <br />homes and a trail connection? <br />• What areas of Ramsey must travel disproportionately longer distances to <br />enter the greenway system? <br />2. How can the greenway become more accessible? <br />• If the routes suggested by groups 1 and 2 are installed, how does the <br />accessibility change for residents <br />• In what general direction and areas should the city focus on constructing <br />greenways to make the park system more accessible to all? <br />Group 4 (Story map) <br />1. How can the value of a greenway be shown to residents in a geographical context? <br />• How have other cities used story maps to build support for a public cause? <br />• How can a story map be used to help build support for the greenway? <br />• How can potential routes be shown to residents in a way that avoids <br />confrontation with land use planning, or mistrust in the city? <br />• What aspects of the greenway would be best represented in a story map? <br />• How can the findings of groups 1, 2, and 3 be depicted in a story map? <br />Project Goals/Objectives: List the intended goals, objectives, or outcomes of the project as they relate to the <br />community's needs and interests. (Note: faculty may also ask students as part of the project to do additional work <br />that does not explicitly meet —or goes beyond —the community's stated objectives, but those objectives do not <br />need to be included here.) <br />Group 1 (Marsh Gap Region) <br />1. Use geospatial data to create a premier route that traverses marsh area gaps in the <br />Circle of Ramsey plan that considers factors such as land cover, land ownership, etc. <br />2. Use geospatial data to create three alternative routes to bridge the same gap and <br />consider the same variables as goal 1. <br />Group 2 (School Gap Region) <br />1. Use geospatial data to create a premier route that traverses elementary school area <br />gaps in the Circle of Ramsey plan that considers factors such as land cover, land <br />ownership, etc. <br />2. Use geospatial data to create three alternative routes to bridge the same gap and <br />consider the same variables as goal 1. <br />Group 3 (Greenway Accessibility) <br />1. Determine the accessibility of the greenway system as it stands now. <br />2. Identify what the improved accessibility of the greenway would be if the <br />recommendations of groups 1 and 2 are used. <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
