A Cleanup Plan for Lake Superior's Headwaters
Bonding | Proposal 2016 A cleanup plan for Lake Superior’s headwaters An ambitious plan outlines the work needed to restore water quality in the St. Louis River estuary and Duluth/Superior harbor by 2020. Why it matters For the first time, strategic partnerships and dedicated federal funding are lined up to make restoration possible for the headwaters of Lake Superior—the St. Louis River estuary and Duluth/Superior harbor. As part of the multi-state/federal/ private effort to clean up the Great Lakes, the MPCA is seeking $12.705 million in 2016 bonding (and will seek $12.705 in 2018 bonding) to remove polluted riverbed sediment and industrial waste from the St. Louis River estuary. State funding at this time is crucial, due to the limited-time availability of a 65% federal cost share match. The work being proposed The St. Louis River estuary is the second largest of 43 locations throughout the Great Lakes that were identified by the International Joint Commission for cleanup. Due to decades of uncontrolled pollution before modern pollution laws went into effect, riverbed sediments are contaminated with mercury, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other toxins. These pollutants have settled out in sediments at the bottom of the St. Louis River estuary and continue to threaten public health, contaminate fish and wildlife, and make waterfronts unusable in Duluth and other coastal communities along Lake Superior. Federal funds now available will accelerate cleanup efforts and will help communities fulfill the promise of economic revitalization, increased property values and improved quality of life.

In November, the City of Duluth and the Lake Superior Zoological Society announced a consensus concept for the future of the Lake Superior Zoo and Fairmount Park that includes a renewed zoo in a roughly 10-acre footprint and converts a portion of the existing zoo to become a top-quality free public park in the St. Louis River Corridor. The three draft concept plans presented during the public meeting will build upon this consensus concept. The public meeting will take place today, Tuesday, January 19, 2016, from 5-7 PM in Duluth City Hall, 411 West First St., room 303 The public is encouraged to attend the meeting and provide feedback. Anyone unable to attend this meeting, may email comments to Tari Rayala, the City Architect, at [email protected] Following the meeting, the public will be able to view the three proposed plans and submit comments online at the St.

The historical account is my personal Capstone Project required for the granting of the Master of Liberal Studies degree. Having been retired from a teaching career for a few years, and feeling the need for an academic "stirring-up", I enrolled in 2011 in a single course through Continuing Education at UMD. It was there that I learned about a revamped MLS degree program that hoped to attract senior citizens who may have post-retirement time and an inclination to pursue a graduate degree. My decision to embark upon the MLS included a curiosity about my capacity to succeed at such an endeavor in my later sixties, and the chance it offered to return to my alma mater after more than forty years.

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

Snively's Road

Among those present was Mayor Samuel F. Snively, the man chiefly responsible for the construction and development of the unique boulevard system. ROAD Through personal determination ROAD and a remarkable talent for rais- ing donations, Snively brought MARK RYAN more than three-quarters of the parkway to fruition, helping establish one of Duluth’s most noted landmarks. Terrace Parkway, as the initial portion of the road was first called, was the brainchild of William K. Rogers, a native of Ohio who became president of the State Bank of Duluth and the city’s first park board. In 1888 Rogers had presented a plan for a hilltop boulevard that would follow the ancient gravel shore- line left by glacial Lake Namadji, a larger ancestor of present-day Lake Superior. A companion park stretching along Lake Superior’s shore from Seventh Avenue East to Fortieth Avenue East would be connected by per- pendicular links following several rivers and creeks that plunged from the crest of the hills toward the lake. In the late 1880s Mr. Ryan is a writer and film maker who Winding Mission Creek Road, native-stone resides in Minneapolis.
