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.

The rules were suspended upon a unanimous vote to hear from speakers on the resolution. Major Mark Welsh and Denise Overstake, representing the Salvation Army, and Doug Franzen, attorney for the Salvation Army, reviewed: an approximate time table with regard to the submission of the application for the Kroc Center to the appropriate authorities within the Salvation Army for approval of the project; what the center will provide to the community in terms of programs and activities; what the construction period will be and the funding that will need to be raised if the project is approved.

Responding to Councilor Gilbert, Ms. Overstake stated that because the results of a final study done by a recreational consultant have not been received, it cannot be determined yet exactly what recreational facilities will be provided at the facility or what type of aquatic facility should be planned.
