FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City Seeks Online Comments on Street Repairs
Edina, Minn., June 30, 2017 – The City’s next online discussion is now available at SpeakUpEdina.org. The
discussion, which focuses on street repairs in Edina, will be available until July 31.
In the 2017 Quality of Life survey, 54 percent of residents rated the quality of street repairs as “excellent” or
“good.” While that’s increased from 38 percent since 2011, there is still room for improvement. To dive a
little deeper into the subject, City staff would like to learn more about what residents think of street repairs
in Edina.
In this discussion, the City asks residents:
If you had a street reconstruction project or street maintenance completed in your neighborhood,
were you notified ahead of time? If so, how did you hear about it?
How would you prefer to be notified about street reconstruction projects and street maintenance in
your neighborhood? How far in advance?
If you’ve previously reported a pothole or another needed street repair, how did you go about doing
so? How was the process? How was the response time?
How do you think street maintenance and street reconstruction projects should be prioritized?
The feedback from this discussion will be compiled and presented to the City Council Aug. 15.
In June, the City gathered feedback on food trucks. The City asked residents if the City should allow food
trucks to operate independent of an event in Edina; if food trucks should be restricted to certain areas of the
city; where residents would like to frequent food trucks; and if there should be protection in place for brick-
and-mortar businesses against mobile food trucks. The feedback from this discussion will be compiled and
presented to the City Council July 18.
