Dakhota Online Learning Platform is a continued language revitalization initiative that takes a novel approach to language revitalization combining several transmission-boosting practices that have been previously successful, with the ultimate aim of spreading the Dakhota language beyond classroom walls, making it meaningful, useful, and accessible to Dakhota people in their daily lives at home.
To enhance its collections database through additional content, development and implementation of a controlled vocabulary, and making the database accessible to the public via its website
An exhibit was created as a 13-part rotating display highlighting medical care in Minneapolis and Hennepin County from the 1870's to the present. It was first shown at the Hennepin County Medical Center and was then placed in the Hennepin County Government Center Gallery in September, 2011.
The exhibit had been researched and developed by Hennepin Medical History Center volunteers using history center resources. Medical statistics were gathered, a diary-style storyline was created to run the length of the exhibit and objects were chosen for display.
This project will complete a TMDL equation and report and an implementation plan for Deer Creek. The TMDL report will describe turbidity impacts to aquatic life uses of Deer Creek, correlate turbidity to other pollutants (sediment, suspended solids, etc.), describe and quantify unique turbidity/sediment stressors which include groundwater influences, legacy impacts of the watershed and stream channel, significant in-stream and near stream sources (slumps, bank erosion, etc.) and upland contributions.
This project will result in the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for turbidity for Deer Creek and the Nemadji River, and will also define which reaches of the Nemadji basin may be meeting standards for turbidity. It will also allow the Carlton County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) to become a full and active partner in this TMDL study and implementation project as well as future restoration and protection projects.
Deer Creek has been identified as an impaired water body. This project will quantify the reductions in pollutant loading that would be necessary to bring water quality in the creek to an acceptable level. The project also includes collection of any additional data needed for stream channel modeling scenarios.
This project will share, celebrate, and preserve cultural heritage in the East Phillips neighborhood, paying mind to the high percentages of Indigenous, East African, African American, and Latinx communities. The project includes collaboration with elders and education institutions to develop a demonstration site plan that will provide workshops about cultural food, ceremonial medicines, and seed saving. The funding will provide venue and facilitation space, bring leaders and experts together to collaborate, assist with strategic planning, and compile data for future engagement.
At Central Mississippi Regional Park, implement the master plan including design, engineering, and construction of trails, pedestrian/bicycle/vehicle circulation, landscaping improvements, ramps, stairs, and walls, buildings, stormwater management, historic resources, neighborhood connections, and natural habitat restoration.
Above the Falls Regional Park, design and construct trail loops, river access areas, landscapes, storm water management. Includes site furniture, landscaping, utilities, survey and site investigations, design, engineering, and project management.

Initial project was Design and Construction of a trail bridge over County State-Aid Highway 19 for the Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail. 2015 Legislature amended project to "save trail crossing". PAT Legacy (F14-15) matched with $1,040,000 in federal funds.
Design and reconstruct approximately 12,300 lineal feet of bituminous trails in that portion of Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve managed by the City of Bloomington.
Design, engineer and reconstruct parking lots and driveways including demolition, grading, curb and gutter, paving, landscaping, parking lot lighting, trail lighting, utilities, retaining walls and associated storm water improvements at the Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Regional Park Reserve, in particular, West Bush Lake Park. If project costs come in lower, City would utilize funds to install lighting on trail between Bandshell and Chalet parking lot.
Project will complete the design and engineering required for renovation of the bathroom buildings and the boat rental building within the main day-use recreation area of Baker Park Reserve
Design, engineer and reconstruct rest rooms building, maintenance garage, driveway, sidewalks, lighting, utilities, associated storm water improvements including demolition, grading, curb and gutter, paving, retaining wall construction and landscaping at the Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Regional Park Reserve.
