The City of Eden Prairie played host to one of eight local presentations of the Metropolitan Council called “Walkable Communities Workshops”. The objective of the workshops is to educate Minnesota citizens about what they can do (and how they can do) to make their communities more “walkable”. This is a photo of Mayor Tyra-Lukens, who also participated in the four hour workshop, welcoming the 25-30 participants of our workshop.

This is Danette Moore. Danette is a Planner in the City’s Planning Division. She coordinated this event on behalf of the City. She worked with the Met Council; coordinated the venue; handled the local publicity; and did all the little things it takes to pull off an event like this.

I’d like to thank ADC Telecommunications for hosting the event. ADC has a beautiful facility and they have been supportive of the various walkability improvements that the City has implemented in and around their campus.
