FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Discussion On ‘Speak Up, Edina!’
Edina, Minn., March 12, 2015 – The City’s next online discussion is now available at
www.SpeakUpEdina.org. The discussion, which focuses on street lighting, is available until April 2.
Public street lighting helps provide residents with a feeling of safety and security at night; however, some
believe that street lighting is invasive, bothersome or wasteful.
In the discussion, the City asks what residents think of the City’s level of street lighting, if they think more or
less lighting could be used and what kind of street lighting they prefer. Feedback from this discussion will be
presented to the City Council April 21.
In February, the City gathered feedback on drive-thrus. Questions included whether the City should consider
prohibiting new drive-thrus, what residents’ general opinions of drive-thrus are, what types of businesses
work best with a drive-thru, and whether or not residents have any environmental or health concerns over
idling cars. Findings from that discussion will be presented to the City Council March 17.
