FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Comment Period Open for Arden Park Environmental Assessment
Edina, Minn., May 22, 2018 – The City of Edina, in partnership with the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District, is proposing to make improvements to Arden Park, 5230 Minnehaha Blvd.
Those proposals include remeandering Minnehaha Creek on park property, regional stormwater
management, natural area management and park facility upgrades that include trails, a new shelter
building and new playground equipment.
The project would restore approximately 2,000 feet of Minnehaha Creek by removing an existing 4-
foot dam and restore a more diverse riparian community through the creek corridor.
Due to project activities associated with Minnehaha Creek, a mandatory Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EAW) is required per Minnesota Rules 4410.4300. The City of Edina will accept written
comments on the EAW during the public review and comment period, which concludes at 4:30 p.m.

Works, 7450 Metro Blvd., Edina MN 55439. Comments may be submitted via email to
