This document covers the proposal set forth by Mansfield Consulting Group for the redevelopment and land-use restructuring for the Minneapolis Downtown East area.

This document covers issues with the existing conditions, the goals and visions of the project, precedent case studies that pertain to this project, plans for the site (including physical design, tax restructuring, and stormwater treatment), traffic analyses both before and estimates for after development, a community involvement plan, and a benefit-cost analysis.

Coupled with the opportunities for public-private partnerships and increased transportation facilities, Mansfield Consulting
