FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City Seeks Ideas On Capital Improvements
Edina, Minn., April 24, 2014 – The City of Edina has begun its biennial process of updating its Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) for long-term capital improvements, and the City needs residents’ help to identify top
issues.
From now until May 23, residents are urged to visit the discussion at www.SpeakUpEdina.org to let the City
know what they think should be included in the 2015-2019 CIP.
“We want to have an open space where residents can help staff identify wants and needs of things that need
to be updated or replaced over the next five years,” said Assistant Finance Director Eric Roggeman. “We
could continue to look at things from an internal perspective, but having that direct feedback from residents
really helps us identify and prioritize what should be done.”
During the discussion, the following questions are asked:
What sort of improvements would you like the City to make in the future?
What are your thoughts on the last CIP? Did we miss anything we should consider this year?
With limited funds, what is a top priority to you? Are we doing too much of one thing, and not
enough of another?
“This is a great way for residents to be involved in how the City is spending its money on projects, all without
needing to leave their homes,” Roggeman said. “There isn’t enough money to do all the projects requested.
We want to know what’s most important to Edina’s residents, which will help guide City staff and the City
Council make decisions about the CIP.”
