| Due to construction variability, updates typically do not include specific details such as day-to-day scheduled activity. The City's inspector or contractor will notify occupants directly if they are impacted by a utility service shutdown (for example, water shutoff) or work (such as excavation or new curb) that will impede access to the property for hours or days. |

The City Council conducted a public hearing and approved resolutions to accept bids, award a construction contract and adopt the final assessment roll for the 2026 City Pavement Rehabilitation Project, an annual street improvement effort that is part of the city’s long-term Pavement Management Program. The 2026 project includes approximately 2.2 miles of improvements in the Fox Hollow and Vasserman Ridge neighborhoods and follows earlier Council actions in late 2025 and early 2026.
Staff said the Vasserman Ridge area is scheduled for pavement rehabilitation along with select utility, curb, sidewalk and ADA-related upgrades. In the Fox Hollow neighborhood, most streets will undergo full reconstruction due to pavement conditions, along with watermain, drainage and related infrastructure improvements.
Additional updates near North Lotus Lake Park were developed through resident feedback and city coordination. Planned improvements include roadway adjustments, defined parking areas, trail changes and measures intended to reduce parking impacts on nearby lawns and neighborhood streets.
Staff also highlighted extensive public outreach completed throughout the planning process, including mailed notices, surveys, project webpages and multiple open houses. Resident feedback on roadway design, drainage concerns and assessments helped shape portions of the final plan.
The low bid for the project was submitted by GMH Asphalt, a contractor that has previously completed city street projects in Chanhassen. Construction is expected to begin in May, with substantial completion anticipated this fall and final restoration work continuing into 2027.
Following the public hearing, the City Council approved the resolutions unanimously.

Fox Hollow Neighborhood Pop-Up Meeting
As part of the upcoming construction project for the 26-01 Pavement Rehabilitation Project, the City has scheduled a meeting to discuss the proposed re-alignment options for the segment of the Fox Hollow Drive adjacent to North Lotus Lake Park. Proposed options will be presented as part of an open discussion with residents.
Meeting Date/Time: February 17, 2026 from 5:00pm to 6:00pm
Meeting Location: City Hall – Training Room
7700 Market Blvd., Chanhassen, MN

The City Council unanimously "ordered" the project at its November 24, 2025 meeting. There was lots of discussion and a full house of engaged residents providing comments to the Council. The Fox Hollow Drive area will be designed as a full reconstruction including watermain replacement, spot sanitary sewer repairs, storm water management and replacement of the curb and pavement. Fox Drive, however, will continue to be designed as a mill and overlay due to its newer age and condition.
The Council directed the project team to develop a design for the portion of Fox Hollow Drive by the park (the 'dogleg') that maintains the character of the existing condition, but that will also strive to improve the operations, parking availability and safety of the connection. Further outreach concerning this specific segment of the project will occur prior to the final design being considered by the City Council in the early spring.
