FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Public Invited to Provide Input on Grandview District Draft
Transportation Study
Edina, Minn., July 7, 2016 – The City is inviting community members to provide input on the draft
Grandview District Transportation Study. The draft study will be available for public comment until July 19.
The Grandview District Development Framework, approved by the Edina City Council in 2011, included a
recommendation to conduct a more thorough transportation analysis to assess existing conditions of the
transportation system; to explore, refine and expand upon the recommendations made within the
Framework; and to make clear recommendations for next steps.
The City hired architecture and engineering firm LHB, transportation firm Nelson/Nygaard Consulting and
Alta Planning + Design to lead the study and to identify needs, challenges and opportunities and to review and
evaluate recommended changes to the transportation network of Grandview to meet the community’s long-
term needs.
As the City nears completion of the project, the consultant team has prepared a draft report, which can be
found online at EdinaMN.gov/grandview-transportation-study. To comment on the draft report, contact
Transportation Planner Mark Nolan at mnolan@EdinaMN.gov or 952-826-0322.
“We are inviting all Edina community members to view the draft report and provide us with input and
comments,” said Nolan. “We are asking the public to let us know if we have missed any key transportation
issues or overall themes in the district and how those issues might be remedied.”
For more information, contact Nolan at 952-826-0322 or mnolan@EdinaMN.gov.
