  • Comprehensive Operations Analysis Existing Conditions Summary February 2021
    Comprehensive Operations Analysis Existing Conditions Summary February 2021 Presented to Duluth Transit Authority Prepared by Connetics Transportation Group 1.0 Introduction In August 2020, the Duluth Transit Authority (DTA) engaged Connetics Transportation Group (CTG) to conduct a Comprehensive Operations Analysis (COA) of their fixed-route transit system. This technical memorandum presents the methodology and findings of the existing conditions analysis for the COA. The COA is structured around five distinct phases, with the existing conditions analysis representing Phase 2 of the process. The following outlines each anticipated phase of the COA with corresponding objectives: Phase 1 Guiding Principles: Determines the elements and strategies that guide the COA process. Phase 2 Existing Conditions: Review and assess the regional markets and existing DTA service. Phase 3 Identify and Evaluate Alternatives: Create service delivery concepts for the future DTA network. Phase 4 Finalize Recommended Network: Select a final recommended network for implementation. Phase 5 Implementation and Scheduling Plan: Create a plan to executive service changes and implement the recommended network. The DTA provides transit service to the Twin Ports region, primarily in and around the cities of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin. In August 2020, CTG worked with DTA staff and members of a technical advisory group (TAG) to complete Phase 1 of the COA (Guiding Principles). This phase helped inform CTG of the DTA and TAG member expectations for the COA process and desired outcomes of the study. They expect the COA process to result in a network that efficiently deploys resources and receives buy-in from the community. The desired outcomes include a recommended transit network that is attractive to Twin Port’s residents, improves the passenger experience, improves access to opportunity, is equitable, is resilient, and is easy to scale when opportunity arises.

  • Highway 23 / Grand Avenue Corridor Study Analysis & Recommendations for STH 23 in Duluth, Minnesota
    Highway 23 / Grand Avenue Corridor Study Analysis & Recommendations for STH 23 in Duluth, Minnesota Prepared by the Duluth-Superior Metropolitan Interstate Council December 2013 Executive Summary This document represents the findings of a corridor study of the segment of MN State Highway 23 between Becks Road and Interstate 35 in Duluth, Minnesota. This roadway, also known as “Grand Avenue” serves as a principal arterial in West Duluth and is both an important regional and local transportation corridor. The study focused on how well the corridor is currently serving multiple modes of transportation, but it also considered the potential for redevelopment and increasing traffic. The findings indicate that the corridor is not sufficiently serving non-motorized forms of transportation, given potential demand. The findings also suggest, however, the possibility for a level of future growth in West Duluth that that could increase traffic and worsen conditions for all users under the existing constraints to expand the roadway. The findings of this study have led to a series of recommended improvements (found in Section 4 of this document) which have been presented to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the City of Duluth. These recommendations represent a menu of short– and mid-term options that could improve the existing corridor for both motorized and non-motorized users. The majority of these improvements can be implemented within the existing public right-of- way and with moderate levels of investment. Grand Avenue / Hwy 23 Corridor

  • City of Duluth 2014 Housing Indicator Report
    City of Duluth 2014 Housing Indicator Report Released: May, 26 2015 Prepared by: Community Development Division 407 City Hall Duluth, MN 55802 Telephone: 218-730-5480 2014 Housing Indicator Report Executive Summary The City of Duluth produces annually the Housing Indicator Report. This report tracks from year to year a core group of datasets from the US Census Bureau, St. Louis County Assessor’s Office, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, Duluth Area Association of Realtors, and City of Duluth. The report is in its 12th iteration and has tracked Duluth’s Housing Market from the crash in 2008 to the crunch in 2013. The trends in 2014 continue those first highlighted in 2012. Affordability continues to be an issue especially as the rental market and ownership market continue to be tight. New production of units and a high amount of renovation suggest more units in the near future. This report is beneficial to housing developers and providers alike. Homeownership The metrics for homeownership show an improving housing market. The number of home sales and median price are near pre-recession values for the second year in a row. However, the number of newly constructed single-family homes has not fully recovered resulting in the majority of Duluth’s housing stock being built before 1950. Below are the key highlights for homeownership in 2014. The number of foreclosures in Duluth decreased from 189 in 2012 to 156 in 2013 to only 116 in 2014. This is a decrease of 25.6%. The percentage of Homesteaded properties in Duluth remained level at 58.6%.
