I hear a lot about bike trails at Rotary Club meetings and City Commission meetings. Planning for all forms of accessibility is a crucial part of the city's development plan, though it's not without some controversy. Attend a City Council meeting and you may here a variety of perspectives on the bike lanes, trail development, and other aspects of making the city accessible to people.

More than a decade ago, which seems like several lifetimes in the technology world, Walk Score was added to Edina Realty listings online. What is a Walk Score, you ask? 

Is your family curious about other countries and cultures? Whether your family is small or large, with children young or old, you might be just right for hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange student this year; all it takes is a desire to welcome someone to your community and home.
