Happy Thanksgiving everybody. As the city slows down for a day of gratitude, we wanted to share a quick few updates to keep you in the loop. At Monday's city council meeting, council received an update from Mandot on its Highway 7 corridor study, and council encouraged them to continue the community outreach efforts as this project moves forward. After the public hearing, council accepted the feasibility study for the 2026 pavement rehabilitation project, boarded the improvements, and directed staff to explore design options in Fox Hollow that preserved the neighborhood's dog leg. And lastly, council reviewed the 2026 budget and lowered the proposed levy from 7.2% to 6.9% in advance of its adoption on December 15th. MINDOT has extended the public comment period for the Highway 7 study through Sunday, November 30th. The study reviews safety, mobility, and walkability needs from Hopkins to St. Bonafacious, and residents are encouraged to look at the recommended improvements and share feedback through the online comment form. Mindot will lead the public outreach, but we will make sure to share the updates with Chanhassen residents as the study moves forward. Back here at the Chanhassen Fire Department, our toys for tots program is now underway and runs through December 12th. The Chanhassen Fire Department collects thousands of toys each year for kids around the US. And donations can be dropped off at the fire station, city hall, or the Chanhassen Rec Center during regular hours. Thank you to everyone who helps make this holiday season brighter for families. Wait, something on the roof. Some people adopt puppies, some adopt kittens, but me, I adopted this beautiful siren right here. It's loud, reliable, and only sounds off once a month, like clockwork. Through the city's adopt a siren program, residents can volunteer to make sure that the sirens in their neighborhoods are working properly. It only takes about five minutes once a month and you get city council recognition, fire department swag, and a sweet summer BBQ. Still got it. Check the link in the video's description to sign up and I'll check in with you next week. Same time, just less noise.
