Lakewalk Interpretive Plan Public Meeting

The city of Duluth invites the public to participate in a public meeting for the Lakewalk Interpretive Plan. Two meetings providing the same content will include opportunities to provide feedback:

Feb. 15, 6 p.m. at Duluth City Hall, Conference Room 330
Feb. 16, 6 p.m. online via Webex

Both meetings will include a presentation about the interpretive approach, draft plans for eight defined experience districts, and proposed interpretive content. Following the presentation, there will be time for questions and discussion with project staff.

The project area includes the riverfront segments of the Baywalk along Bayfront Festival Park, the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center, and the south side of Canal Park, and then continues along the Lakewalk from the ship canal to 21st Avenue East. Altogether, the project spans nearly 3.5 miles of designated trail.

The purpose of the plan is to define specific elements and common themes for interpretation along the existing trail and the segments soon to be reconstructed during the Lakewalk resiliency and Harbor Plaza improvements. Themes will invite visitors to gain a richer understanding of the area and create meaningful spaces for visitors to engage. Interpretive elements will include historical, cultural and artistic representations of people and place.
