Sioux Falls Mayor Christine Erickson has launched a series of public listening sessions called 'Sioux Falls Listens' to gather resident input on improving the city. The sessions are part of an initiative by the mayor's 10-member transition team and take place during her first 100 days in office.

The first session took place on Wednesday, 21 October, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Dakota State University Community Room within the Sweetman Atrium at Levitt at the Falls, focusing on arts and resident experience. Two further sessions are scheduled for Thursday, 5 November and 12 November, both from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the same venue. A town hall is planned for Wednesday, 18 November, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Cherapa Place.

John Beranek, a member of Erickson's transition team, said the sessions aim to gather 'a variety of voices' from different backgrounds and populations to 'help shape the vision for the future of this city'. The team wants to hear what residents value about Sioux Falls and what areas need improvement. Each session has a different thematic focus, with November sessions covering the business community and economic development respectively.
