NEWS & NOTES

Rescheduled: Clean Up Day is July 18 Due to Minnesota's Stay at Home order, the city's annual spring Clean Up Day event was rescheduled from April to Saturday, July 18. The drop-off event will take place from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Public Works building, 400 Gorman St. Enter off Fourth Avenue.

Road projects improve public access around Canterbury Park Construction started this spring on a new public road that will provide additional access through central Shakopee. The city is constructing Unbridled Avenue, a new public street from Shenandoah Drive to Canterbury Road north of Canterbury Park. Unbridled Avenue replaces a private road (Barenscheer Boulevard) to provide a new entrance to Canterbury Park and improve access throughout the Canterbury Commons development area. The street completes a city perimeter road around Canterbury Park following last year's reconstruction of 12th Avenue and extension of Shenandoah Drive. The parkway setting provides a more attractive and driveable route through one of the city's most prominent corridors. Scott County is also continuing design plans for reconstruction of County Highway 83 (Canterbury Road) in 2021. The reconstruction will address existing operational and safety issues between Fourth Avenue and Highway 169. The improvements will also assist development of the Canterbury Commons area. For more information about these projects, visit www.ShakopeeMN.gov/roadprojects. New trail connection coming to Southbridge Later this summer, the city will be adding a new pedestrian/bicycle trail in the Southbridge neighborhood near Red Oak Elementary. The eight-foot-wide bituminous trail will be constructed on city right-of-way from Southbridge Parkway to Whitehall Road. Sign up for updates about the project at www.ShakopeeMN.gov/subscribe.
