FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Discussion Opens On ‘Speak Up, Edina!’
Edina, Minn., Oct. 6, 2015 – The City’s next online discussion is now available at www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
The discussion, which focuses on parks and programming, is available until Nov. 1.
The City has more than 30 neighborhood parks, each unique in its own way with different amenities.
Throughout the year, but primarily in the summer, the Parks & Recreation Department offers a variety of
programming opportunities from Fab 4 & 5, Summer Playgrounds and sports camps to art classes, tennis
lessons and adaptive recreation.
In this discussion, the City asks what residents think about Edina’s neighborhood parks, what amenities they
like, what they think could be added or improved, what they think about the Parks & Recreation
Department’s current offerings of programing and what classes and activities they’d like to see added in the
future. The feedback from this discussion will be compiled and presented to the City Council Nov. 17.
This month, the City has been gathering feedback on Styrofoam containers. Questions asked include whether
or not residents think Styrofoam containers should be banned in Edina; whether or not they think offing other
non-Styrofoam containers are just as harmful as continuing use of Styrofoam; and if they would reuse, recycle
or compost containers if Styrofoam were banned. The feedback from this discussion will be compiled and
presented to the City Council Oct. 20.
