The City of Rogers is a prosperous and growing community in northern Hennepin County, with a population of 13,150 residents. The city has grown rapidly, almost quadrupling in size since 2000, when its population was 3,600. Its downtown area is generally characterized by auto-oriented development with disconnected buildings, large parking lots, and low walkability, though it also includes a small finer-grained district with pedestrian-scaled storefronts, sidewalk-fronting buildings and historic façades.

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) will provide the organizing vision and direction for all of the State of North Dakota's transportation investments and initiatives over the next twenty years.

CDG is leading all pedestrian and bicycle-related components of the LRTP, working as part of the multi-disciplinary team selected by NDDOT for this effort.

CDG's work includes:
