Chanhassen updates residents on spring programs and road work

The Chanhassen City Council held its weekly check-in on April 3rd to brief residents on upcoming city services and regional construction projects that may affect local commutes.

Meeting date: Apr 3, 2025
Published Jun 14, 2026

The council, meeting from the public works building, highlighted several items of interest to residents as spring arrives. The city's yard waste program launches April 7th, offering residents a convenient way to drop off leaves, brush, and trees while picking up free mulch. The program will feature extended hours to accommodate more residents.

Families with children in third or fourth grade can now enroll in the Fire Department's kid safety camp. The program teaches fire, bike, water, and dog safety through hands-on activities, games, and snacks. Participants will receive a camp t-shirt, and organizers are planning a potential real-life helicopter demonstration.

The council also informed residents about road construction that may impact their commutes. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is working on US Highway 212 and State Highway 5 in nearby Eden Prairie. Residents interested in learning more can attend an online open house on April 9th from 1 to 2 p.m.

On a positive note, the dog park at Lake Minowasha Regional Park in Carver County is expected to reopen around April 12th. The facility was temporarily closed for tree removal as part of emerald ash borer management efforts.
