Henipin County will begin reconstruction of the Pioneer Trail Bridge this spring. It's a project that is not being led by the city of Chanhassen, but one that might affect residents who travel through this area. The construction will include detours for pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists. In order to share details about the project and what to expect, Henipin County is hosting an open house on Thursday, January 29th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Eden Prairie City Center. We are thrilled to announce our 2025 Heart of Chanhassen photo contest winners. Congratulations to Best of Show winner Sarah Reeves for happy and to all of this year's category winners and honorable mentions whose photos beautifully captured the character, landscapes, and everyday moments that make Chanhassen special. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos and helped showcase the beauty of our community. The city of Chanhassen is now accepting applications to serve on several of our city commissions, giving residents a meaningful way to impact life here in our community. Openings are available on the Economic Development, Planning, Parks and Recreation, Environmental, and Commission on Aging Boards as well as the Southwest Transit Commission. No prior experience is required and terms generally start this April. Applications are due January 30th and interviews will be scheduled for February 9th and appointments will be made by the city council in March. We hope that you'll apply. Last week, the fire department did some training out on Lake Susan for ice water emergencies and somehow Drew became part of the drill. For the record, this isn't part of my job description. We are out at Lake Susan today where the Chanass Fire Department is conducting ice rescue training. This hands-on work helps crews stay prepared for emergencies during unpredictable weather conditions. Firefighters regularly train for real life scenarios, including safely rescuing someone who has fallen through the ice, using specialized equipment and teamwork to protect both the victim and the rescuers. Training like this ensures the Chanass Fire Department is knowledgeable, prepared, and ready to serve residents when it matters most. If I don't make it out alive, I guess I won't be checking in with you next week.
