DOWNTOWN SHAKOPEE PUBLIC REALM IMPROVEMENTS <br />Client: City of Shakopee <br />Contact: Samantha DiMaggio <br />Economic Development Coordinator <br />sdimaggio@ci.shakopee.mn.us <br />(952) 233-3800 <br />Over the past 40 years, multiple studies have been conducted <br />in Downtown Shakopee. The City hired Loucks to review past <br />plans and translate historical recommendations into actual <br />design solutions to form a vision to enhance the public realm in <br />Downtown. Loucks conducted additional analysis to determine <br />the four major project spaces that would have the largest <br />impact to Downtown. Design solutions created better gateways <br />into Downtown, dynamic public gatherings spaces to <br />accommodate a variety of events, and increased awareness and <br />connections to Huber Park. <br />Nate Ekhoff served as Project Manager and worked closely with <br />the City to develop a vision, and design solutions, in order to <br />enhance four prominent locations in Downtown Shakopee. <br />Loucks' design incorporates elements which tell the story of <br />Shakopee. Important areas of focus include the area's rich <br />Native American history and culture, historic Downtown <br />settlement, the Minnesota River, and a celebration of modern- <br />day Shakopee. <br />The plans and graphics generated excitement among local <br />business owners who were eager for new public gathering <br />spaces downtown to attract new users. <br />CONSULTANT CITY PLANNER - MAPLE PLAIN <br />Client: City of Maple Plain <br />Contact: Jason Ziemer <br />Former City Administrator <br />(Present North St. Paul City Manager) <br />Jason Ziemer@northstpaul.ora <br />(651)747-2421 <br />Tom Goodrum was Maple Plain's city planner consultant for <br />over 12 years.
