  • 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

  • LINCOLN PARK NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PLAN November
    November 19, 2012 November 19, 2012 LINCOLN PARK Why was this plan created? We believe that every Duluthian has the right to live in a 1 neighborhood with good housing, good schools, a safe and NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PLAN healthy environment, and economic vitality at the family and the community level. We also believe that people should be engaged in the planning and implementation of projects that make that happen for themselves and their neighbors. What does this plan do? This plan is an update of a Neighborhood Revitalization Plan created in April 2007 ( http://duluthlisc.org/Plans/LPplan.pdf ). It summarizes achievements since the 2007 Plan, and outlines priorities and accountabilities for neighborhood revitalization projects over the next three years. Whose plan is this? This plan was created through a collaborative process with Lincoln Park residents and businesses under the leadership of the At Home in Duluth Collaborative, Duluth LISC, the City of Duluth and NHS Duluth (Now part of One Roof Community Housing). The At Home in Duluth Collaborative includes 25 governmental and non-profit agencies working in Duluth’s core neighborhoods of Morgan Park, West Duluth, Lincoln Park and November 2012 the Hillsides. Duluth LISC is part of a national network (www.lisc.org ) whose mission is to help residents create Prepared by the At Home in Duluth Collaborative neighborhoods of choice and opportunity. Contributing Partners: How was this plan created? One Roof Community Housing The vision and ideas in this plan came from four sources: City of Duluth Community Development Office • Duluth Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) The annual public review process for setting priorities for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) • A series of community meetings coordinated by One Roof and the Lincoln Park Round Table; • Interviews with At Home in Duluth partners and other community agencies; • Review of other plans that relate to Lincoln Park (see “Additional Resources”, page 30.) 1 This project was funded in part by the Minnesota Power Foundation.
