 identify access points and gathering places along
 the Greenway, and to provide some preliminary 
concepts for land use and design issues for future
 development adjacent to the Greenway.   


Duties/Responsibilities:
The duties of the student research assistant will 
be to gather data, and input from community 
stakeholders, and then use his/her own knowledge 
and skills to develop preliminary plans and design
 concepts for the St. Paul Extension of the 
Midtown Greenway.

Registered Graduate Student for the duration of 
the Spring 2006 Semester. The student research
