City receives high marks in survey
Once again, the city received high marks from residents in our 2025 community survey. This latest survey, conducted by Polco, shows that 96% of residents rate the quality of life as either excellent or good. This places Shoreview as the top city in 20 of its local peer cities that Polco has surveyed.
These results continue a long-standing trend of high satisfaction rates that dates back to the late 1980s. Shoreview outperformed the national and local benchmark cities in the below areas (% excellent or good):
• As a place to live - 97%
• Feeling of safety - 94%
• Being honest – 80%
• Overall direction that Shoreview is taking – 79%
• Sense of community - 79%
• Generally acting in the best interest of the community –78%
• Overall confidence in Shoreview government – 77%
• Being open and transparent to the public – 76%
"The success of Shoreview is a reflection of the shared vision between our community and government, rooted in the values of openness, belonging, and collaboration. This shared vision enables us to build a strong community and create a high quality of life in Shoreview."
–Mayor Sue Denkinger
When compared to our local peer cities, the city ranked #1 in over 30 areas, including:
• Shoreview as a place to live - 97%
• Parks - 97%
• Parks and recreation opportunities - 96%
• Feeling of safety - 94%
• Quality of natural environment - 94%
• Recreation centers or facilities - 93%
• Water resources - 92%

A Year of Progress for Shoreview
As we dive into 2026, I'm excited to kick off this year with a new feature in ShoreViews. Each issue, I’ll be sharing thoughts and updates on a variety of topics that the city is working on. You can also see more of my letters in the Shoreview Press each month.
For my first feature, I wanted to take time to reflect on the past year and review some of the city’s accomplishments. While our communications team highlights many activities throughout the year, there are also important yet less visible efforts happening every day. I’ll share some here but the full 2025 year in review is available at shoreviewmn.gov.
If you’ve visited city hall recently, you may have noticed a fresh look in some areas. Offices were renovated for the first time since the building opened 35 years ago. The new design has more shared spaces to promote collaboration, which helps us support our residents better.
Our technology staff continues making upgrades across city facilities. These improvements strengthen network security, support safety initiatives, and protect the city from costly cyber threats.
The community center also celebrated its 35th year. Meeting room and pool cabana rentals remain popular, and expanded marketing efforts have helped increase annual memberships.
We kicked off the city’s park system master plan with major projects at Bobby Theisen and Commons parks. The Bobby Theisen project included a new park building with restrooms and meeting space, court and soccer field renovations, a new playground, and more. A new park building with restrooms, expanded seating, and grills was added to Commons Park.
Housing and economic development remain critical to Shoreview’s long-term success. A major development was the Seven Lakes project, which was completed last year. This project brings Binks corporate headquarters and Fairview Health Services to Shoreview. PaR Systems, an existing Shoreview company, was also able to expand in this area. All three 150,000-square-foot buildings are fully occupied. This strengthens our tax base, supports high-quality jobs, and reinforces our reputation as a desirable place for business growth and investment.
The new Lake Johanna Fire Station is scheduled for completion mid-summer. Despite increasing call volumes, the department continues to maintain a median response time of just over five minutes.
Public works carried out essential infrastructure work, including snowplowing, sewer cleaning, water delivery, tree removal, and water main repairs. They also continued with several environmental projects like installing a solar array at our maintenance facility and hosting recycling events.
2025 Caring Youth Award Winner: Charlie Neuman
Charlie Neuman received the 2025 Caring Youth Award in November 2025. This annual award, created by the Shoreview Human Rights Commission, reminds us that anyone, no matter their age, can help form the foundation of our community.
As a senior in high school, Charlie's commitment to service has grown from helping neighbors as a child to becoming a deeply engaged community leader today.
At Flaherty’s Arden Bowl, Charlie is known not only for his hard work but also for his steady mentorship of young bowlers in the junior league. He brings that same energy to his roles on the Shoreview Community Foundation’s youth advisory board and the city’s parks and recreation commission, where he ensures that youth voices are part of important conversations.
Charlie has also made a meaningful mark at school by tutoring peers, contributing to curriculum updates centered on Native American history, and even testifying before Congress on ethnic studies. As a standout Academic Decathlon competitor, he has earned three Minnesota State Championships and the 2025 national individual title. When his team faced uncertainty, Charlie stepped forward to lead study sessions, recruit new members, and keep the program strong.
When asked what his favorite part of volunteering is, Charlie noted that it’s hearing great ideas that those he volunteers with have.
2025 Shoreview Citizen of the Year: Gene Nichols
A long-time Shoreview resident, Gene has truly made our community his home through his incredible dedication and service. For nearly 11 years, Gene has been an active member of the Shoreview Human Rights Commission— now serving as co-chair—where his leadership and compassion have helped shape important local initiatives.
Gene’s commitment to public service reaches far beyond Shoreview. He also lends his time and expertise to several organizations, including:
• Ramsey County Charter Commission
• MDH Maternal & Child Health Advisory Task Force
• Face2Face, Secretary Board of Directors
• Association of Non-Smokers–MN, Board of Directors
• Tobacco-Free Alliance, Co-Chair Board of Directors
• Evergreen Shores Homeowners Association, past Secretary
• Past member of the Shoreview Community Foundation and Ramsey County Community Health Advisory Committee
One of Gene’s most impactful contributions has been his tireless advocacy to protect youth from tobacco addiction. He has testified at the city, county, and state levels in support of policies that safeguard children and teens—playing a key role in Shoreview’s decision to ban flavored tobacco products.
When asked what advice he’d offer to someone looking to get involved, Gene shared: “Get to know the mayor and city council, follow what’s going on in the city, and apply for a board that meets your interests.”

Business Spotlight
Opened last summer and located at 1021 Red Fox Rd in Shoreview, Livewell Animal Urgent Care is here to support your pet’s needs when you least expect it. Livewell fills a gap, providing urgent, after-hours care for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.
When your regular vet is closed, Livewell ensures that your pet can still receive timely, professional care. Although part of a corporation, Livewell works hard to embody the feel of a neighborhood clinic. They offer walk-ins, same-day appointments, and lead veterinarian, Dr. Melissa Mabe, is a Shoreview resident.
Dr. Mabe brings more than six years of emergency experience to the clinic, along with experience in general practice and surgery. Her approach to care is thoughtful, making sure to treat the animal and take the time to understand the owner’s stories and concerns.
Livewell wants Shoreview residents to know that they’re here for you and your pets. Their clinic is open Monday and Thursday through Sunday from noon - 10 pm. Their hours are ideal for busy families and working individuals who can’t always get in during regular veterinary office hours.
Transparency is another cornerstone of their care. Livewell commits to clear, upfront pricing, so you won’t be surprised by hidden fees or last-minute add-ons on your bill. Some of their services include:
• diagnostics & testing to get a full picture of your pet’s health
• wellness & preventive exams
• behavioral counseling
• pain management
• health certificates
• surgical services
• spaying/neutering
• dental extractions
• mass removals
Livewell takes pride in getting to know the community by building partnerships with other local businesses and engaging in community events. Through meaningful connections, Livewell continues to strengthen its roots in the community while delivering care.
