FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Walk With the Mayor Scheduled for Sept. 15
Edina, Minn., July 5, 2018 – The September Walk With the Mayor is scheduled for 9-10 a.m. Saturday,
Sept. 15. The walk will be held in the 50th & France Business District. Participants should meet outside the
Edina Landmark Theater, 3911 W. 50th St.
“We’re meeting this month in the 50th & France area to see some of the many improvements that are under
way as part of the Market Street project,” said Mayor Jim Hovland. “The construction in that area began at
the start of the year and, when finished before the holiday shopping season in 2019, will have improved and
increased parking options, created new apartment homes and retail shops and enhanced our public art in this
area. We’re excited about this project and the next era of living and doing business at 50th & France, so I
invite you to join me on a walk to see the progress and learn more about next steps and the future of this
charming area of our town.”
Participating in the Walk with the Mayor gives community members a chance to voice concerns, share
opinions and thoughts as well as just talk with Hovland while getting to know the City a little bit better. No
prior registration is required to attend Walk With the Mayor; simply show up at the designated meeting time
