After further review, it was determined that staff needed to notify the property owners along the route and to hold a public meeting. The route change is necessary because of the construction of the water treatment facility. The construction will close off our previous race route, blocking access to the pedestrian bridge where the runners previously crossed Highway 5. The race committee is proposing this route shown on the attached map to showcase the city's new City Center Park. The new park creates a very nice venue to host this type of event and meets our department's goal to program this space. City Center Park is also a good choice because the race can start and finish at the same location, which will help eliminate expenses with bussing, signage and labor. Notices have been sent to all property owners along the route. The notice communicated the details of the race and that the streets will remain open during the race. This route change is a very positive thing for the race and the city. The event will feel brand new again and the city can showcase City Center Park. RECOMMENDA TION It is staff's recommendation that the Park & Recreation Commission recommend that the City Council approve the new race route for the Dave Huffman Memorial 5K Fun Run/W alk as depicted on the attached map. The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quaity schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks A great place to live, work, and play.
