Retired street signs are nostalgic mementos of Eden Prairie.

The City is updating street signs to comply with updated federal rules that regulate the size and retro-reflectability (ability to see signs clearly at night) of all signs throughout the country. The replacement period takes several years and every community is in or has completed the process of replacing all street signs.

Each sign is $30 and can be picked up at City Center once you receive notification that it's ready.

See if your street name is available, if it's not on the list today, it may be soon, so check back often!
