John Harris Drive.
The Comprehensive Plan is a document required by the Metropolitan Council to guide development, prepare
for changes in the community such as increased traffic, and give an outline of how to address other factors
that may have an impact on people, businesses and quality of life. It’s also used as a basis for developing
programs and directing where to spend tax dollars.
An update to Edina’s plan is due at the end of 2018. Public input is now sought to help as the two-year
process begins.
The workshops will talk about how to incorporate themes from “Vision Edina,” the 2015 strategic vision for
the City, into the Comprehensive Plan. The kick-off meeting will celebrate the launch of the project. These
events are free and open to everyone.

Planner Kris Aaker at 952-826-0369 or kaaker@EdinaMN.gov.
