City of Duluth to host a second public meeting regarding upcoming Raleigh Street reconstruction project

 

The City of Duluth will host a public meeting on August 23, 2022, regarding the reconstruction of Raleigh Street between Grand Avenue and 59th Avenue West. Based on the goals of the project and the input gathered, a series of street design options have been proposed. This meeting is to gather the public’s feedback on the proposed options.

The City of Duluth will host this public information meeting on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm at City Center West (5830 Grand Avenue, Duluth, MN).

The design and engineering of the project will take place in 2022, with construction scheduled for 2023. Funding for the project will come from Municipal State Aid for Street and Water Utility funds.

The scope of work for the project includes:

  • Full reconstruction of the street, sidewalks, and utilities from Grand Ave/Hwy 23 to 59th Avenue W.
  • Replacement and installation of a new water main
  • Replacement and installation of a new stormwater infrastructure
  • ADA improvements for pedestrians
  • Multimodal improvements for cyclists and other lightweight human and electric-powered devices.

 

The public meeting will begin with a brief discussion of the comments received at the previous public information meeting and of the proposed design options by City staff. Participants will then have an opportunity to share their input about the design options in an open house format.

This meeting is the second of three that will be held on this project. The date of the third meeting is forthcoming.

If you cannot attend the meeting but would like to follow the project and/or discuss the project, please reach out to the City’s project Engineer Alex Popp, PE at apopp@duluthmn.gov.
