[DULUTH, MN] The City of Duluth is inviting the community to an open house on Thursday, March 14, 2024 regarding the reconstruction of West Superior Street between Carlton and West Michigan Streets. This open house 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 on Thursday, March 14, 2024 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the Clyde Iron Works Malting Building, 2907 Helm Street.

There will be a brief presentation beginning at 5:00 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.

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.
