Chanhassen Marks 60th Anniversary of Historic Tornado
Chanhassen commemorated the 60th anniversary this week of a tornado that touched down near Lake Susan and traveled roughly seven miles through the area. The tornado, which occurred on May 8, 1965, caused no fatalities in Chanhassen but remains a significant event in the city's history.
Carver County will host a virtual open house May 14 to discuss the Highway 212 and Highway 5 construction project. The project is expected to cause traffic shifts and delays in Chanhassen, according to city officials.
The city will close recreation center pickleball courts from May 27 to June 6 for upgrades, weather permitting. Players can use courts at Roundhouse Park during the closure period.
Chanhassen has installed electronic message boards reminding e-bike users of safety regulations. Riders must be at least 15 years old to operate Class 3 e-bikes, and anyone under 18 must wear a helmet. All e-bike users must follow local speed limits and traffic laws regardless of age.
The updates were provided during the city's weekly Chan Check-In community update program.
