Visit Exploring Minneapolis without a Car »


Describe your website.

My website is designed to help visitors to Minneapolis enjoy exploring Minneapolis without a car. I included information on using Metro Transit, understanding the maps and schedules of Metro Transit, including buses, light rail, and Northstar trains. There is also a section on how using Google Maps including Pegman and Street View can help in deciding what routes to take. There is also a section on the popularity of biking in Minneapolis and resources for walking and cycling.

Who is the target audience for your website?

I would like to provide resources for people interested in city planning, mass transit, biking, walking, energy issues and conservation. I would also like to assist visitors to Minneapolis and St. Paul who want to travel without a car. There are a lot of resources concerning travel without a car in the Twin Cities, and I wanted to organize and explain these resources.

What is the advantage of your website over others?

The main advantage of my website is that it was thorough and contained a wide range of topics with many useful links and examples.

Tell us a story about this website.

I really enjoyed visiting Minneapolis without a car and I would like for other visitors to have an enjoyable, low stress experience also.

Why did you use this Sandvox design?

I liked that I could customize it with my own banner image. I liked that the design was attractive but not distracting. Photos and text including links all show up well and yet it looks special.
