DISCUSS 2021 CANADIAN DAYS The City Administrator explained that the Canadian Days Committee is currently planning to move forward with the Canadian Days event in 2021 which will be held from July 30 - August 1. He stated that the committee is planning as many events as possible following the CDC and MDH guidelines for COVID-19, and they are asking the City Council to discuss and provide additional feedback on a potential route change for the parade to make it longer, who will coordinate the 5K race, and the fireworks budget. Jeanne Parsons, President of Canadian Days Committee, explained they would like to change the parade route to make it longer so that people watching can spread out farther. She stated the proposed route should also speed up the parade crossing the 35E bridge so the freeway exit ramps do not have to be closed as long since there gets to be a large backup of traffic onto the freeway. She noted when the parade turns the corner onto Centerville Road from Little Canada Road, it tends to get congested, which then causes the parade to take longer getting over the freeway. Keis stated that the nice thing about going up Centerville Road is there is park property along one side for people to sit whereas Noel Drive is almost all private property. Ms. Parsons stated they do not think many people from outside the neighborhood would sit along Noel Drive. She noted the parade would to all the way down Eli Road and end at Centerville Road so the parade vehicles can go north up Centerville Road to depart. Fischer asked if this route change would be permanent. Ms. Parsons stated they want to try it for a year and see how it goes before deciding if it will be a permanent change. The Council agreed to the modified parade route as proposed. 3
