Initiative Title: Commission-Led Events on Promoting Multimodal Transportation /Open House on Pedestrian and
Bicycle Master Plan
Initiative Description: The transportation commission is committed to engaging the community regarding the
importance of a strong bicycle and pedestrian network. To support this effort, the commission will host at least two
public events to share the city’s plans for non-motorized transportation and explain the commission’s role in these
initiatives. These events aim to educate residents about the commission's work, how to provide input on
transportation-related matters, and the value and purpose of the bike-ped master plan. By connecting people’s lived
experiences with city infrastructure, the commission will highlight the importance of its investments and decision-
making in shaping transportation priorities.
Deliverable: Host two community-focused events: one organized by the transportation committee and another in
partnership with an external organization or as part of an existing public event. The events will aim to enhance public
engagement, promote community transportation initiatives, and educate community members on the city’s long range
transportation plans.
Proposed event ideas
Event 1: Transportation Committee-Led Event
Event Name: (To Be Determined)
Proposed Timing: Spring/Summer
Location: Public Works Building, City Hall, Centennial Lakes, or an Edina elementary school
Event Ideas:
Community Bike Safety Day: The committee could lead an event focused on promoting bicycle safety, with helmet
checks, bike maintenance workshops, and a bike obstacle course for kids.
Green Transportation Expo: A day to explore alternative transportation options, including electric bikes, public
transportation education, and eco-friendly commuting solutions. This could potentially be a partnership event with EEC.
Event 2: Partnered or Existing City Event
Event Name: (To Be Determined)
Proposed Timing: Align with a local city event (e.g., 4th of July Parade, Public Works open house, Edina Art Fair,
Centennial Lakes Programming)
Event Ideas:
Open Streets Partnership (if applicable): Join an existing Open Streets event, where streets are closed to vehicle traffic,
creating a safe space for pedestrians, cyclists, and community activities. The transportation committee could host a
booth focused on pedestrian and cyclist safety and alternative transportation options.
Bike to School Day Collaboration: Partner with local schools to promote biking or walking to school. This event could
include community-led bike trains or walking groups.
Parade or Festival Participation (e.g., 4th of July Parade, Edina Art Fair): Have a transportation-themed float, tent or
bike brigade as part of a larger city parade or festival, promoting active transportation in a fun and visible way.
Public Works Open House Partnership: Collaborate with Public Works to host a transportation booth as part of an open
house, demonstrating the importance of infrastructure in promoting safe and accessible biking/walking routes.

challenge where attendees track their steps throughout the event.
Next Steps:
1. Identify partners: For the partnered event, reach out to local organizations or city officials to explore collaboration
opportunities.
2. Finalize event concepts: Choose from the above options or develop a combination.
3. Plan event logistics: Determine dates, locations, and necessary permits.

Initiative Title: Review of city policies/ordinances requiring walking and biking improvements for recon/rehab projects
Initiative Description: Due to a variety of factors, decisions pertaining to the city’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan
over the past few years have at times deviated from the plan’s stated goals. This has resulted in a network that is
increasingly disjointed and less likely to be realized in its intended capacity based on some of these individual decisions.
National research will be completed to understand how cities have used policies or ordinances to require inclusion of
walking and biking infrastructure as part of roadway reconstruction or rehabilitation projects.
Deliverable: A report/recommendation will be provided to demonstrate how this could be applied in Edina.
