City to host public meeting on planned future route of the Cross City Trail
[Duluth, MN] City of Duluth staff will be hosting a public meeting tomorrow, May 27, at 5:00 p.m. to provide information on the planned future route of the Cross City Trail. This meeting will include the project section that will establish a preferred trail route from Irving Park to 59th Avenue West and from 72nd Avenue West to the Munger Trail.
Within these two parts of the planned route, the City intends to complete the design, environmental review and secure a right of way to prepare for trail construction in 2023. The City has secured $600,000 from federal transportation funding to construct the trail segment. A match of $210,000 will be provided by the City to complete this section of the trail.
City staff is holding the public meeting to invite comments and questions of the location and key features within this planned section of the trail. Some important considerations include the impacts that this will have on Keene and Kingsbury Creeks, coordination on Minnesota Power rights-of-way, other right-of-way impacts, cost estimates, and ongoing stakeholder engagement.
The meeting will be held virtually. For those who are interested in joining, please click on the following link:
All questions and comments are needed by May 31 to be incorporated into the next steps of the process.
