The U of MN staff are finalizing a report on activities during phase I of the project. The next phase of the project includes engaging the ESMC committee and staff on related planning projects. The CityÓs planning firm Bolten & Menk will be working on a shared vision for future development of the downtown area. Representatives from Bolton and Menk will be attending the next few advisory committee meetings to report on their work and gather feedback from the committee. The U of MN has shared their work with Bolten & Menk. Bolton and Menk expect to complete their work by March 2026. Creating a broadly shared vision for downtown development will allow the ESMC team to focus work more directly on reimagining the public realm, the public right of way and other public propertyÏalong the Centerville Road and Main Street corridors, with particular attention to the following: Road redesign strategies and concepts to increase safety and reduce traffic speeds Potential improvements to pedestrian and bicycle facilities Off-street and on-street parking opportunities, as well as opportunities for reduced or shared parking Stormwater improvements Green infrastructure and open space improvements, including public access to Centerville Lake Trail and sidewalk connections to nearby residential neighborhoods and other local and regional amenities Potential infrastructure, tax revenue, traffic, and other implications of future land use changes (i.e., redevelopment of Block 5, redevelopment along Main St. from residential to commercial/retail or mixed use) Incorporating Centerville history (pre- and post-European settlement) into public realm improvements These priorities reflect ESMCÓs asset-based approach to community development, as well as input from the advisory committee and the public that weÓve received to date. The next Advisory Committee meeting will be on February 11 from 6pm-8pm at City Hall. This meeting will be held in partnership with Bolten & Menk, the cityÓs planning firm. Bolten & Menk Bolten & Menk are working on an update to the Downtown Master Plan, and a visual preference survey can be accessed via is the QR code in the flyer below. 13 14 SBM FIRE DEPARTMENT SBM crews responded to a structure fire in Centerville over the weekend.

So my recommendations are simple: 1) On streetlights without wreaths, use red/white candy cane design garland to wrap the poles. 2) For the 2026 holiday season, promote a holiday decorating campaign among Centerville businesses. Incentivize businesses by offering a prize for the best decorated business. Judges can be comprised of residents/committee members who have no relation to the business owners. 3) Hold a similar contest among homeowners along Main Street and Centerville Road to increase holiday decorations. This could be expanded after a trial year to different neighborhoods or all of Centerville.
