Safe & Equitable Mobility Action Plan (SEMAP)

The City of Edina is developing a comprehensive plan to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes for all road users in the City of Edina. The Safe and Equitable Mobility Action Plan (SEMAP) is anticipated to be substantially complete in early 2026. A circle showing the 5 segments that make up the "Safe System Approach".

The SEMAP will focus on addressing roadway safety challenges, such as distracted driving and speeding, and the need for safer infrastructure for people walking, biking, and using other forms of active transportation. The plan will identify projects and policies to proactively address these challenges based on best practices. Throughout this process, the project team will seek community input through online and in-person engagement. By bringing together community input and safety data, this plan will prioritize roadway projects and policies that address safety challenges.

Project Update:

City Council adopted the Safe & Equitable Mobility Action Plan on May 5, 2026. The City wishes to thank everyone involved in the development of this plan, including staff, Commissioners, representatives on the Task Force and members of the community who provided feedback throughout the process. Adoption of the SEMAP marks a significant step towards our goal of eliminating fatal and serious injury crashes in Edina!

Share I have been told directly by members of the Public Works department including Dave Goergen that the city is 100% against using speed bumps.

It is true that the City has opposed permanent speed bump installations in the past for multiple reasons, including impact to emergency vehicles and snow plowing operations. However, they City also recognizes that other agencies use speed bumps as a traffic calming treatment. The SEMAP will include a toolbox of safety countermeasures that are focused toward the elimination of fatal and serious injury crashes. The Task Force will consider the inclusion of speed bumps in this toolbox.

Will pricing estimates be included with short term plan recommendations?

The SEMAP will not include pricing estimates for specific recommendations; staff will develop those costs after the plan is adopted.

The plan will include policy recommendations to help the City achieve its goal of zero traffic deaths or serious injuries on roadways. A task force will be responsible for oversight of SEMAP implementation and monitoring once adopted by City Council.
