Nicollet Avenue in Kingfield

The Kingfield project focused on an area between 36th and 46th Streets on Nicollet Avenue. Corridor Housing Initiative events included a participatory display at the Kingfield Farmers Market and a development exercise at the Kingfield Festival and Ice-cream Social. A final workshop focused on design guidelines. The Design Center's work was extended to a Direct Design Assistance project that explored options for one site on Nicollet.
