[0:02] It is Thursday, July 17th, and this is
[0:04] the Chan check-in, and we're coming to
[0:06] you today from the Chanhast Rec Center
[0:08] because community day is one month away,
[0:10] and we'll hope you'll come and join us
[0:11] for free classes, family activities,
[0:13] facility tours, and fun with our amazing
[0:16] community partners. Speaking of the rec
[0:17] center, please note that the dance
[0:19] studio in the rec center gym will be
[0:21] closed from July 31st to August 15th as
[0:23] part of its annual resurfacing. At
[0:25] Monday's city council meeting, council
[0:27] members reviewed updated floor plans and
[0:29] cost estimates for the future Chanhassen
[0:31] Bluffs Community Center and directed the
[0:33] design team to explore options that stay
[0:35] within the plan budget while preserving
[0:37] original programming. The council also
[0:39] discussed future options for the east
[0:41] side clock tower, expressing interest in
[0:43] preserving the structure while
[0:44] reimagining its non-functional clock
[0:46] components. Finally, they voiced strong
[0:48] support for a proposed pedestrian
[0:50] underpass at Highway 41, directing staff
[0:52] to move forward with a formal agreement
[0:54] to include it in the larger Highway 5
[0:56] improvement project. The new edition of
[0:58] our quarterly magazine, the Chanhassen
[1:00] Connection, should be in your mailboxes
[1:02] now. It was designed by our amazing
[1:04] colleague Sarah Tissson.
[1:06] Hi.
[1:07] The Galpin Boulevard improvement project
[1:09] continues to move along nicely. Check
[1:11] out these recent shots from the concrete
[1:13] port at the roundabout at Galpin and
[1:14] Lake Lucy Road. And here at 78th and
[1:18] Powers, this intersection project is now
[1:20] complete, bringing safer, smoother, and
[1:22] more accessible travel to one of the
[1:24] city's busiest areas. That's it for now.
[1:26] We'll check in with you next week.
