Chanhassen Marks Tornado Anniversary, Announces Construction Updates
Chanhassen commemorated the 60th anniversary this week of a tornado that touched down near Lake Susan and traveled roughly 7 miles through the area. The tornado, which occurred in May 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 the city update.
The city announced it will close pickleball courts at the recreation center from May 27 to June 6, weather permitting, for court upgrades. Players can use alternative courts at Roundhouse Park during the closure period.
City officials also reminded residents of e-bike safety regulations as warmer weather approaches. Operators must be at least 15 years old to use Class 3 e-bikes, and riders under 18 must wear helmets. All e-bike users must follow local speed limits and traffic laws regardless of age.
The updates were part of the city's regular community communication program.
