The city council by a 4-1 vote agreed to an engineering study for anchor pole design to possibly hang holiday garlands over Minnesota Street again.
NEW ULM –The City of New Ulm will move forward with engineering services to look into designing new poles to support holiday garlands on downtown Minnesota Street.
In 2020, the holiday garlands were not strung across downtown Minnesota street because the anchor points on the buildings no longer support the holiday decorations.
To develop new decorating options, the city formed a garland committee. It was determined that if the city wanted to continue hanging the garlands, new poles will need to be installed at all intersections downtown. Before the poles can be manufactured, an engineering study must be conducted to determine where poles can be placed. Steam tunnels and utility lines run under the downtown area. Certain areas might not support new poles.
