The document discusses land use issues and divisions in the Ventura Village neighborhood of Minneapolis centered around Peavey Park. There is a divide between residential and commercial areas east and west of the park, contributing to a lack of identity. While non-profits have invested in some areas, high rates of poverty, transit dependency and an associated stigma around the park have prevented it from becoming a true neighborhood hub. The neighborhood shows signs of recent redevelopment but remains in need of further investment and community-building to strengthen its identity and meet residents' needs.

This document provides an overview of Deep Level Saturation Spectroscopy (DLSS), a nonlinear optical technique for studying deep local defects in semiconductors. DLSS is based on using laser pulses to modulate (change) the population of deep levels via photoionization, and measuring how this affects the absorption of a probe light beam. This allows determining key parameters of deep levels like cross-sections and energy levels. DLSS can separate the spectral contributions of different deep centers and determine their optical and electrochemical properties. The document outlines the theoretical basis and experimental methodology of DLSS, and how it can be used to directly study phonon relaxation processes and radiative recombination centers in semiconductors.

This position paper discusses privacy issues with Facebook's policies. It outlines how Facebook's privacy policies are flawed and allow personal information to be shared more broadly than users intend. The paper also describes a series of privacy mishaps by Facebook over the past year in response to policy changes. It questions whether Facebook will truly change its policies given its business model relies on advertising and data collection. The paper calls for the ACLU to take a stronger stance on advocating for improved privacy protections from Facebook.

This document discusses potential alternatives for converting I-787 in Albany's South End neighborhood. It provides background on the South End demographics and discusses three options: 1) decking over the highway, 2) converting it to a boulevard, and 3) eliminating it. The document also outlines two visions developed by a volunteer group that would replace I-787 with a boulevard and reconnect streets. Questions are presented that were discussed with the South End Neighborhood Association regarding impacts of burying or replacing the highway.

This document discusses the economic benefits of heritage conservation in Auckland, New Zealand. It notes that heritage conservation contributes directly and indirectly to the economy by creating jobs, increasing property values and tourism revenue. Historic rehabilitation creates more jobs per dollar invested than other industries like automobile manufacturing or construction. Heritage tourism generates billions annually for economies like those of Florida, Arkansas and Pennsylvania by attracting visitors who spend more than other tourists.
This document discusses the economic benefits of heritage conservation in Auckland, New Zealand. It notes that heritage conservation contributes to the economy directly through jobs and investment in rehabilitation projects, and indirectly by increasing property values and attracting tourism. Specifically, it cites studies finding that properties in historic districts appreciate faster than elsewhere, experience lower vacancy and foreclosure rates, and that heritage tourism generates billions annually for local economies through visitor spending. The document advocates identifying, protecting and promoting heritage assets to realize these economic gains.

A Redevelopment Proposal for the City of Pomona, CA
The Fairplex Park
Fairplex is starting to reinvent itself. Quaint stores, large open-air plazas, shaded walkways, and a public park.
The Fairplex Park is a mixed-use development with an assortment of interesting stores, retail shops, restaurants, mixed-income housing, neighborhood-serving amenities, some offices, along with a public park. Trees line the walkways and street plazas. People sit down for meals with tables shaded with umbrellas. Others prefer to stroll across the parkways. Customized to the Fairplex community, The Fairplex Park promises to create a pedestrian-friendly mixed-used environment that provides a more meaningful social, leisure and shopping experience and allows a greater opportunity for interaction among families, visitors, and neighbors.

The document summarizes research conducted for a proposed Filipino Business Plaza project in the Seattle area. Demographic research found that over 100,000 people of Filipino descent live in the region, many in south Seattle and south King County. A community survey found strong support for businesses like restaurants, groceries, and cultural spaces in the plaza and a preferred location of south Seattle or south King County. Interviews with Filipino leaders provided additional suggestions and advised making the plaza accessible and distinctly Filipino. The research concluded there is potential interest in a plaza focused on food and services that celebrate Filipino identity located in southeast Seattle or near south King County.

Land Use, 2010 with satellite overlay
Over the years, the land use near Peavey Park has evolved to feature two
disparate activity nodes several blocks to the east and west of the park. This
Chicago Avenue divide is still present and noticeable in the streetscape today.
Ventura Village’s land use is overwhelmingly residential, but without a strong
central commercial corridor, there is nothing to anchor the community. Peavey
Park, if it saw more activity, could function as a shared amenity and neighborhood
hub, but a strong negative stigma associated with the park is difficult to overcome.
Ventura Village does not have a continuous sense of street width or
setbacks. This contributes to a lack of identity and sense of place within the
community. The difference in roadway design also influences this clash of identity.
East of Chicago Ave., the street consists of three narrower lanes, encouraging
slower traffic and parking. West of Chicago, the four traffic lanes are wider and
promote smoother traffic flow with fewer stops.
The streetscapes are one visual indication of the divide created
by Peavey Park. However, there are other indicators that are not
as readily noticeable.

2. Peavey Park Predicament A Land Use Rift in Ventura Village
Daniel Herriges Tian Qiu Jared Staley Zachary Zweifler
Fernando Burga | PA 5211 Land Use Planning | October 2015
Ventura Village’s low-income demographics
and proximity to downtown Minneapolis
contribute to a high rate of public transit use
along several different bus lines. Franklin
Avenue also carries heavy traffic through
Ventura Village, particularly west of Chicago
moving to and from freeway accesses. Two wide
one way avenues, Park and Portland,
also carry heavy through traffic and contribute
to a lack of consistent pedestrian orientation in
the streetscape. Yet, the majority of the
residents of Ventura Village are dependent on
transit and walking and have one of the city’s
lowest rates of personal vehicle ownership.

These maps and diagrams help illustrate an important point about the overall use of
Ventura Village. The great need for and use of public transit through the neighborhood
is an added stressor. Rather than bringing people to the area, the transit use and need for
public transportation creates a lack of ownership in the area. In order to better understand
this issue, it is important to better understand how the resident’s of the community interact
with each other, where they congregate, and how that can impact a place. Exploring these
issues further and reacting to them could help create a sense of place in Ventura Village.

Though private-sector disinvestment has caused
decline in the neighborhood, there are active
nonprofit institutions working in Ventura Village
to serve residents’ needs and help build a
stronger sense of place. Hope Community and
Project for Pride in Living (PPL) are two
prominent presences whose efforts and
investments have helped rehabilitate the area.
These nonprofits, despite divergent approaches
and priorities, have contributed greatly to the
revitalization of certain intersections. However,
this may not be enough to salvage and push the
community forward at a rate comparable to the
rest of the city. Key spatial characteristics of the
community are mapped below
Areas redeveloped and occupied by Hope
(Franklin & Portland), PPL (Franklin & 11th),
or where stores are located constitute key nodes
of informal congregation and conversation
within the neighborhood. A map of building
ages shows recent redevelopment concentrated
at sites several blocks west, east, and south of
Peavey Park. According to anecdotes from
community stakeholders, a stigma of violent
crime in Peavey Park continues to prevent
a mutually beneficial relationship between the
ample green space and adjacent residents and
business owners.

4. Peavey Park Predicament A Land Use Rift in Ventura Village

It is important for the overall image of the
community and Minneapolis that
Ventura Village develop in a way that
complements its residents’ needs. Peavey Park
is a historical cornerstone to the community,
but over the years has become a spatial divide.
With the help of strong community input, the
city, and devoted private developers, Peavey
Park and Ventura Village can be born
again from the ashes.
While many entities may have unique takes on
how to propel this process forward, it would be
best to have a collaborative and majority
consensus.

“Peavey Park: Central to

Brand” - Chicago Avenue

“While Peavey Park sits in a
centrally located geographic
position within the city, the altered
urban fabric around it has isolated
the park and neighborhood from
the surrounding neighborhoods
and landmarks” - Metropolitan
Design Center
• “Community Listening” process led by
Hope Community
• 2010 formation of Community Advisory
Board including the Minneapolis Park
Board, Police Department, community
leaders, business owners, and residents
• Requested support from U of M’s Metro-
politan Design Center
• MDC publishes proposal for complete
redesign of Peavey Park in 2011
• South Quarter project: redeveloped all four
corners of Franklin & Portland intersection
with affordable housing and neighborhood-
owned businesses
• Final corner in South Quarter completed
in 2015 with The Rose mixed-income
apartments
“Branding Chicago Avenue as the Wellness Corridor
serves two important purposes. First, it provides a
self-determined identity that will begin to influence
the way outsiders think about the area. Second, it
serves as a succinct and meaningful slogan around
which the many stakeholders in the area can organize
their efforts. It reflects the way the community sees
its existing assets and future vision, and continues
to showcase the concentration of medical-related
institutions in the area.”
• “PPL works with lower-income individuals
and families to achieve greater self-sufficiency
through housing, employment training,
support services, and education.”
• Headquartered in Phillips, provides services
and affordable housing development to metro
area
There has long been no shortage of vision for Peavey
Park, and yet it and the adjacent intersection have
languished as a site of crime and disinvestment.
“The issues at Peavey
Park aren’t really about
land use. The question is
what would it take for the
neighborhood to feel that
area was safe?”

Senior Vice President, PPL
