City Of Edina issued the following announcement on Jun. 24.
To continue serving the growing number of people who call Edina home, City leaders, guided by feedback from residents, have put forward a $64.6 million investment plan to complete the conversion of the shuttered Fred Richards Executive Golf Course into a multi-faceted park and to reinvest in Braemar Park and Arena with a wide range of amenities and improvements.
The projects include:
New biking and pedestrian trails
Restoration of natural habitat and vegetation
Important infrastructure repairs at Braemar Arena
More playgrounds, picnic areas and pickleball courts
On Nov. 8, Edina voters will decide whether to approve a local half-percent sales tax option to finance the first phase of this investment. The average cost per resident of the sales tax would be $2.62 per month, or $31.48 per year, according to an analysis by the University of Minnesota.
