Ep.30 SculptureWalk

“There’s no place like home!” and Downtown Sioux Falls as the heart of our City deserves a Yellow Brick Road. Join Brandon and Andy Berg, City of Sioux Falls ⁠Public Works ⁠and ⁠Engineering⁠, as they discuss upcoming changes to traffic flow in Downtown including updates to the existing viaducts, the 10th Street traffic calming pilot, lane width, future speed tables, and our mutual goal of making it easier for folks to get Downtown to work and play. Today’s ‘Member Moment” features ⁠Karlie Solum⁠, Director of Community Relations at ⁠Marsh McLennan Agency⁠.

We’re nearing the final Open Streets event of the 2026 season on August 7th and brought in two of this year’s event sponsors to talk about the impact of this signature DTSF event. First, Brandon talks with ⁠Lindsey Holmquest⁠, Associate State Director, Community Engagement of ⁠AARP SD⁠ about the origins of the “Open Streets” concept and how the two organizations partnered to host the pilot event. Next, ⁠ Andrew Eitreim⁠, President and Principal Architect at ⁠Architecture Inc.⁠, shares about his firm’s 50-year passion for community engagement and thoughtful development in our vibrant downtown. Finally, a ‘member moment’ with ⁠Adam Kniffen⁠ , Market President at ⁠First Bank and Trust,⁠ the enduring sponsor of our beloved Parade of Lights event.

Join Brandon for an in-depth chat with local business leader and developer, ⁠Jeff Scherschligt⁠, President of ⁠Pendar Properties.⁠ Listen in as they discuss what it takes to make the “special sauce” of Sioux Falls private/public partnership, why invest in your local community, and what is coming next for Downtown. Hear about the new⁠ amphitheater improvements ⁠coming soon to the River Greenway, and why Jeff believes in giving back. Today’s ‘Member Moment’ features Anne Haber, also of ⁠Pendar Properties⁠, ⁠Combine⁠, and ⁠The Carpenter Bar Group⁠. She joins Taryn for her speed round of this-or-that questions plus shares what makes all of her projects tick.
