Re: Edina – General Topics

Parkwood's ongoing blockading of streets during 169's closure, causing significant disruption to their neighbors, has also been noted and will be remembered. Not a great way to win friends and influence people.

Re: Edina – General Topics

Re: the Opus Redevelopment article...the old United HQ also finally has new tenants (Children's Hospital with 700 employees being added) after being empty for several years. Surveyors stakes are already going in for the regional trail although construction in this area won't be done for a couple yea...

Re: Sunday Liquor Sales and other Beer/Liquor Legislation

Gpete- that's how I see it too; it's interesting that some No-voting senators with muni liquor stores don't seem to see it that way, and that so many of the No-voters lack even that excuse...

Re: Sunday Liquor Sales and other Beer/Liquor Legislation

Interesting that Franzen voted for it, when Edina City Manager Scott Neal has been so vocally against Sunday sales.

Re: 7200 France - Edina

The developer works with the city for a year and pretty much meets all the residents' demands for redesigns and street access, etc....and still gets shot down. If I were him I'd see if I could pull a Brutalist architect out of retirement and build a medical office building catering to contagious dis...

Re: Suburbs - General Topics

For what it's worth, that Schaeffer Rd. loop is very much needed (I walk in that area all the time). There is a decent amount of traffic, including lots of both locals and non-locals speeding off 169 and tons of kids. Adding the sidewalks greatly improves West Edina's access to Hopkins as well as Va...
