Blue Line LRT Extension, Hennepin County, MN

 

While with Kimley-Horn, Geoff served as the lead designer for the West Broadway Visioning and Streetscape Project.  This is a primary sub task of the Blue Line Extension LRT Project and involves a complicated joint effort between the Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County Community Works and the City of Brooklyn Park.  The primary purpose of this design initiative was to visualize and coordinate approximately 4 miles of streetscape reconstruction associated with the Light Rail project.  This project illustrates Geoff’s comprehensive understanding of placemaking, ability to work with communities to integrate transportation, open space, land use planning and urban design to create a solid foundation for economic development, and a climate for reinvestment.
