City of Duluth to host public meeting on West Superior Street reconstruction project

Table of Contents

The City of Duluth will hold an open house on Thursday regarding the reconstruction of West Superior Street between Carlton and West Michigan Streets. This event is intended to allow the community to review the selected layout and provide input on the streetscape elements as the project moves into final design.

The open house will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Clyde Iron Works Malting Building in Duluth's Friendly West End.

There will be a brief presentation beginning at 5 pm by the design team to discuss the project and the design. Community members, however, are invited to attend the event at any time that is convenient for them. City staff and the design team will be available to discuss the project and gather feedback throughout the meeting.

Project design and engineering will occur through 2024, with construction scheduled to take place from 2025 to 2028. Funding for the project will come from a Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) federal grant, Municipal State Aid for Streets, and utility funds.

The scope of work for the project includes:

  • Full reconstruction of the roadway and utilities.
  • Traffic signal study and recommendations.
  • Stormwater drainage and infrastructure improvements.
  • Street lighting replacement and improvement.
  • Pedestrian improvements.
  • Multimodal improvements for cyclists and other lightweight human and electric powered devices.

If you cannot attend the meeting but would like to follow the project and/or provide feedback, please visit the project website at westsuperiorstreet.com. Alternatively, you can also reach out to the City’s Project Engineer Alex Popp, PE at apopp@duluthmn.gov.
