Assignment 3: Complete by Monday March 23

Last week we talked about what we liked about North Minneapolis. For this assignment, we'll answer questions about what we might like to make better.

So the questions to answer are "What would you change or improve?" and "How would you do it?"

You can answer by writing a comment to this post, or by making a new post showing what some of your changes might look like (for example, a map showing where some things you would fix are, or where you would build something new, or a photo or an animation of a building you might make).

Some thoughts that might be helpful in answering the questions and designing your improvements:
  • What things need fixing? (you can answer by writing a comment here)
  • How could you make them better? (you can answer by writing a comment here)
  • Where are those things you would fix? (you can make a new post with a picture of a Google Earth map showing those places)
  • What would a change look like? (you can take a picture or a post a movie of a SketchUp model showing the change you would build)

  13. 1. What things need fixing?
    i think that we need more businesses in the areas where its just a vacant lot and where house are boarded up should be fixed up for people to buy, sell, or rent

    2. How could you make them better?
    i would personally talk to entrepreneurs. People who are looking for a spot to build a company or rebuild a company.

    3. Where are those things you would fix?
    I realy dont have a exact location but i would say anywhere vacant or abandon at.

    4. What would a change look like?
    It would look like you would want to be there or feel present to just be there. It would be nice like something we could use productively to help people, feed people get what they are looking for for whatever the'er purpose is.

  14. The on thing i would fix about the northside is create more bike lanes because people whop walk on the side walk and people who ride bikes on the side walk cant fit together so we should have bike lanes. I would fix it by building more bike lanes across the north side!
