Edina sits approximately 8 miles from downtown Minneapolis, genuinely closer than several of this project's own other Minnesota Tier A western suburbs, served by Minnesota State Highway 62 (the Crosstown) and Interstate 494.
No direct light-rail service
This record discloses accurately that Edina is NOT directly served by the METRO Green Line Extension (documented as serving Minnetonka and Eden Prairie in this project's own records) or any other current light-rail line.
A genuinely walkable commercial district
50th & France carries a genuine walkable, mixed-use character distinct from a typical car-oriented suburban commercial strip, giving part of the city a less car-dependent daily experience.
