FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Volunteers Sought To Help Draft Plan for Lincoln Drive Area
Edina, Minn., Feb. 15, 2024 – Volunteers are sought to help create a plan to guide development and redevelopment in the Lincoln Drive area near Londonderry Road and just east of U.S.
Highway 169.
The Lincoln & Londonderry Small Area Plan Working Group will meet once or twice per month for 12 months to produce this plan. In addition, members will assist with workshops to share
information and gather feedback from the Edina community.
A consultant will assist in developing the final small area plan, which would be presented to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation. It would then go to the City Council
for approval and needs to be approved by the Metropolitan Council before being adopted as an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The working group is expected to first meet in late April. Planning Commissioners Ryan Daye, Meriwether Felt and Lou Miranda will serve as co-chairs of the working group. Ideally, other
members will represent a variety of backgrounds and interests or different connections to the Lincoln-Londonderry area.
The working group will engage neighborhood residents, businesses and others in the study area. The small area plan may provide guidance on such topics as land use, transportation, housing,
economic development, sustainability, parks and natural resources.
Small Area Plans previously were done for Wooddale-Valley View, 50th & France, 70th & Cahill and the greater Southdale district. Visit EdinaMN.gov/compplan and select “View by Chapter”
to see those plans.
Interested volunteers for the Lincoln & Londonderry working group can learn more at bit.ly/lincolnsap and find an application there. Applications are due March 8, with the Planning Commission
expected to select the members March 27.
