Hold your elected officials responsible for their positions, votes, etc. Here are some links to help you:

Contact Pres. Donald Trump here.

Contact U.S. Rep. Eric Paulsen:

Call Representative Erik Paulsen at (202) 225-2871. Demand he support the release of Trump’s taxes. Here is a sample script:

Hi, my name is YOUR NAME from 55344 in EDEN PRAIRIE. I support the release of Pres. Trump’s taxes. Americans need to have the confidence that our elected officials are working in our best interests and not in their own self-serving interests – or worse – for a foreign power.

Contact your awesome Senators here.

Call Senator Amy Klobuchar at (202) 224-3244 and Senator Al Franken at (202) 224-5641. Remind them how much you admire and appreciate their efforts.

Sample script: Hi, I’m (say your name) from (say from where you’re calling). I am one of the many grassroots activists that stands opposed to Donald Trump’s spiteful, mean-spirited agenda. I am proud of the work you are doing to keep work America progressing. Just wanted to thank you!

Contact your State Representative or Senator here.
Contact your Hennepin County Commissioner here.
Contact your Eden Prairie City Council here.
Contact your Minnetonka City Council here.

The City of Eden Prairie’s comprehensive plan update ~ ASPIRE EDEN PRAIRIE 2040 ~ will create a blueprint for our future to guide the City in its decision making for the next 20 years.

>MAP YOUR VISION OF EDEN PRAIRIE

• What is a comprehensive plan?

  A Comprehensive Plan is a blueprint for the future. It is a community vision that is intended to guide the City for the next 20 years, which will include policies that direct future growth and development. The process for creating a comprehensive plan can lead to potential strategies that will help effectively guide City leaders with making substantive and thoughtful decisions for the community.

• When will Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 start and when will it be completed?

  The initial phases of plan development have begun. The final City Council-approved plan will be submitted to the Metropolitan Council by Dec. 31, 2018.

• How can I get involved in the process?

  It is important for community members to get involved in Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 activities. The Community Engagement and Updates section of this website is updated regularly with updates and opportunities for providing input throughout the process. Finally, materials from meetings and more information detailing the Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 process can be found in the Documents section.

The online maps make it easy to provide input about specific locations, amenities and transportation within the City.

You can even vote on feedback provided by others by selecting existing map points and clicking thumbs-up or thumbs-down; to participate, simply click the links to the maps below and start mapping!

		Community Map The community mapping tool is a way you can provide input on community assets and gathering spots, as well as identify potential public art locations, areas with a positive appearance, areas in need of improvement and more.
		Transportation Map The transportation mapping tool is a way you can provide input on traffic flow and congestion issues, as well as identify trail and sidewalk needs, safety concerns, transit destinations and more.
