FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Public Invited to Grandview Transportation Workshop
Edina, Minn., Nov. 3, 2015 – All are invited to participate in a public workshop for a transportation study
focusing on the Grandview area 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Public Works & Park Maintenance Facility,
7450 Metro Blvd.
At the meeting, participants will work hands-on in small groups following a presentation and question-and-
answer session. The small groups will work to identify strengths and weaknesses of Grandview’s
transportation network. The focus of the meeting is transportation for the entire Grandview area, and will
not focus on a single site.
“We really want to hear from the community and those who worked on the Grandview development
framework to help plan the future of Grandview’s transportation network,” said Transportation Planner Mark
Nolan. “This workshop is a great opportunity for community members to voice their ideas and suggestions.”
The public can also attend presentations at the City Council’s 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 meeting or at the
Transportation Commission’s 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19 meeting. Public comments will not be taken at the
meetings.
The Grandview transportation study builds off the 2011 development framework, and will provide an analysis
of existing transportation conditions and will explore, refine, clarify and expand on recommendations made in
the framework.
The City hired architecture and engineering firm LHB, transportation firm Nelson/Nygaard Consulting and
Alta Planning + Design to lead the study and to identify needs, challenges and opportunities and to review and
evaluate recommended changes to the transportation network of Grandview to meet the community’s long-
term needs.
For more information on the study or upcoming workshop, contact Nolan at 952-826-0322 or
