[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth is inviting the community to an open house on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 regarding the reconstruction of West Superior Street between Carlton and West Michigan Streets. This open house is intended to introduce the project to the community and begin to gather information about how the corridor is used and what opportunities exist to improve it as part of the project.

The City of Duluth will host this open house on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the Lincoln Park Community Center Conference Room, Door 1 (2014 W 3rd Street, Duluth, MN).

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.
