FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina street and pedestrian path closed July 4, 5
Edina, Minn., June 24, 2010 -- In preparation for the fireworks display at Rosland Park, 66th Street between West
Shore Drive and Cornelia Drive in Edina will be closed at noon on July 4 to vehicles and pedestrians. Access to the
pedestrian path around Lake Cornelia will also be closed at those two points. The path will remain open, but pedestrians
will not be able to cross or travel east and west on 66th Street. Closures will remain in effect for up to 24 hours.
Federal law requires a minimum safe distance between pedestrians/vehicles and large fireworks displays. The closure is
meant to keep people out of prohibited areas. Once crews have enough sunlight to make sure the area is clear of all
explosive materials and debris, the road and pedestrian path will be reopened on July 5.
The City’s fireworks will begin at 10 p.m. Saturday, July 4, after an 8:45 p.m. concert by the First John Philip Sousa
Memorial Band. The fireworks are sponsored by Fairview Southdale Hospital.
For more information, contact Fire Marshal Tom Jenson at 952-826-0337.
