The estimated preliminary assessment amounts, by district, are:

• District 1 - $19,000 per Residential Equivalent Unit (REU)

The City is sharing this draft, 30% design sidewalk layout for proposed sidewalks on the streets shown here. This draft is intended to help residents understand how the proposed sidewalk could fit within the existing street footprint. It is not final design. The sidewalk width, street width, and general design parameters are established based on the Living Streets Plan. The only elements that may vary are turf boulevard widths and curb locations, which depend on site conditions.

The City has received a petition expressing opposition to the proposed sidewalk, and we recognize the concerns raised by residents. The City Council will decide whether sidewalks will be included in the project, as referenced in the timeline here. Stay tuned for a letter inviting property owners to provide input and attend the December 8 Public Hearing.

Thank you to those that attended the August 26, 2025 Informational meeting at the Edina Public Works and Parks Maintenance building.

If you weren't able to attend, please watch the video, available here or here, about how projects are funded (special assessment, utility funds, pedestrian and cyclist safety fund and property taxes), a typical project timeline, how you will be impacted, proposed sidewalk locations, how you can prepare, and more. Additional reference documents can be found here.

We hope you find the videos and exhibits informative, and we anticipate they will generate questions. Your questions can be submitted on this web page, or you can reach out to us by email or phone.
