Streets elements may include additions of traffic calming, sidewalks, landscaping, pedestrian lighting,
marked pedestrian crossing, bump out with rain garden, etc. The policy is scheduled to be reviewed at
the July 16th Council Work Session. An Advisory Committee will be formed including volunteers from
Boards and Commissions. Member Risser, Member Thompson and Mr. Bintner are volunteering from

June 2013 Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) Meeting Minutes
In attendance: Commissioners Bob Gubrud, Paul Thompson, John Howard
May minutes approved.
Discussion of new state legislation - 1.5% of energy must be solar by 2020. Generally will
increase solar business in Minnesota, possible role of EOWG to connect residents to solar
opportunities. Could have Dustin from AES (Applied Energy Solutions) give presentations on
how citizens could be solar investors, hosts for panels.
Farmers Market Help with EGG- Giving away reusable bags to attendees at the Edina Farmer's
Market on June 13th. EOWG is invited. May be handing out bags over the course of the
HES- 8 visits are planned from April 18th event, 6 installs/visits are complete as of May 14th.
ECF (Edina Community Foundation) will pay CEE (Center for Energy and the Environment)
$1,500 to subsidize visits, as decided by EEC at May meeting. Paul relayed comments from Dick
Crockett of ECF, who said ECF account for EEC is actually ECF money that gets granted to EEC or
other environmental organizations. City seems concerned about having this extra account and
would like to close it.
22 remaining visits at $50 price (after 50% city subsidy). How do we advertise the remaining
visits? Sun Current, About Town, and Edina magazine are all possibilities.
Bob will communicate with Judy Thommes of CEE about what the name of the visit is, and what
it includes.
July 4th Parade- Bob has been in communication with Judy about using a HES van, and getting
the TOLBY mascot to come. Challenge is that nothing can be posted on the van, and TOLBY is
very sensitive to heat. Could hand out light switch reminders, or TOLBY stickers.
Paul would like to tie in other groups for the parade, for example Project Earth or Morningside
neighborhood group.
Bob has confirmed our registration with the parade chair, John Swon. Ideally we have another
banner so we can have it run parallel to the crowd. Bob will create a parade sign up for
commissioners at the upcoming EEC meeting.
Night to Unite- Aug 6. Paul and Bob are out of town, Paul to contact Karen Kurt, assistant City
Manager, about commission involvement.
18
Movie Night - seems we should tie in with Art Center film festival in Oct. Paul has cooled to idea
of commission movie due to limitations. Other possible ideas are showing of the movie Switch.
John to contact Edina Art Center about getting movie into the festival.
Fall About Town Article - Paul is to contact Jennifer Bennerotte at the City about submission
requests. It is likely the EOWG would write the article, likely need it to be approved by the
commission.
Plans for Fall Activities- Edina day of service activities. Historically done HES installs, did 2 last
year. Tree planting? Buckthorn pull? Continue advertising HES visits.
John to set up commissioner movie screeningfor July 12th. - Postponed
Misc.- survey to Edina residents has been sent, thus too late to add questions regarding
environmental initiatives. Next survey will be in 2 years.
Next Meeting- July 2, 7 pm Community Room.

Item of focus:
February 13, 2013 Meeting
Item of focus:
The City of Edina has begun two important infrastructure projects in the Arden Park neighborhood. We aim to
make these projects highly collaborative, inclusive, and transparent and we hope all stakeholders will provide
input to ensure the outcomes best meet community needs and priorities.
Reconstruction of 54th Street
In 2014, the City will reconstruct 54th Street from France Avenue to Wooddale Avenue, including the 54th
Street bridge over Minnehaha Creek. The road is badly deteriorated, is a safety hazard to pedestrians and
cyclists, and the bridge is at the end of its useful life. A state -aid designated roadway, 54th Street must meet
State requirements; the State will pay for approximately 80% of the reconstruction. A city -maintained sidewalk
on at least one side of the street and bicycle lanes are also required. The project offers an excellent opportunity
to update the roadway to current standards and better meet community needs. We need community input,
ideas, and feedback on a variety of design options.
Stormwater Management Plan
In the Arden Park neighborhood area, Minnehaha Creek water quality is impaired from untreated stormwater
runoff and State law requires the City to reduce the harm. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has
partnered with us to plan a cost-effective solution, which will also affect the 54th Street roadway and bridge
design. We will be seeking community input on this plan.
Ways we will gather community input:
I . Gather issues and needs about 54th Street, stormwater, and the Creek and park—June-July
We will have a team of people gathering input through doorknocking the neighborhood, .in-person surveys
at the park, and via an online survey on the City's website. The City also will hold small group meetings with
local business groups, organizations, and agencies.
2. Gather input on design components — August
Based on the identified issues and needs, we will create alternative design components and preliminary
scenarios for the roadway and stormwater management, then host community workshops to gather input.
3. Gather feedback on refined scenarios — August -September
Working from the input to the preliminary scenarios, we will develop a set of refined scenarios and host
additional community workshops to gather feedback.
Input on those final scenarios shapes the preliminary engineering design and stormwater management plan
included in the City Council's public hearing on this project in October or November 2013.
KEY QUESTIONS for stakeholder engagement
What issues and needs do you see on 54th Street, including the bridge? (Please focus on needs and
issues rather than specific solutions. Examples might include: We live west of Arden Park and kids can't walk
there safely. Or, The bridge isn't wide enough for cars, bikes, and walkers.)
2. What issues and needs do you see for Minnehaha Creek and Arden Park? (Please focus on issues and
needs rather than specific solutions. Example: Stormwater runoff dumps directly from the road into the
Creek. Or, The canoe landing is primitive and slippery after a rain.)
