City of Chaska news

March 20, 2010 - 12:39pm
Bridge closed

The Highway 41 bridge over the Minnesota River is indeed closed as numerous drivers were finding out  this morning. The masses are flocking to the waterfront on foot to gaze at the swollen Minnesota with more than a few taking advantage of the lack of traffic to take a waltz or a ride on the empty bridge.

They’re cleaning out Athletic Park.

With the Minnesota River reaching flood stage in Chaska on Tuesday, and the crest not expected to occur until next Wednesday, it seems all but certain that Athletic Park will get wet in the days ahead.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of fish.

Minnesota doesn’t have its own Declaration of Independence, but if it did, there’s no doubt that the unalienable rights would include fishing.

However, some local residents worry that seniors are missing out on the action. So a group of volunteers and the Chaska Parks and Recreation Department, is starting a “Let’s Go Fishing with Seniors” Chaska chapter.
