Meeting set to update public on Piedmont Avenue/24th Avenue West intersection in Duluth

Options for permanent traffic controls at the intersection of 24th Avenue West and Piedmont will be the topic of a meeting on January 30. Submitted

The public has shared concerns and vision, and St. Louis County Public Works engineers have reviewed all suggestions and now are ready to present options for new traffic controls at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 24th Avenue West in Duluth.

The meeting will be Tuesday, January 30, at 6 p.m., at Denfeld High School in the West Commons area. People also have the option to tune in virtually at https://bit.ly/PiedmontAveMeeting. The public is encouraged to provide input on these options to steer the study towards the preferred option.

The intersection of 24th Avenue West and Piedmont Avenue has had a temporary stop light installed to help with the increased traffic flow during the Twin Ports Interchange Project. Prior to this, a stop sign was used for vehicles traveling on 24th Avenue West.

Looking ahead to when the Interchange project is complete, St. Louis County Public Works engineers have been gathering input through public meetings and an online survey, to determine what traffic controls would best serve the public long term.

Anyone who lives in or travels through this area is encouraged to get involved by attending the meeting in person or virtually. More information can be found online at https://piedmont-ave-study-slcgis.hub.arcgis.com/.

Klobuchar’s greatest asset is also her sharpest test: total name recognition. She does not need to introduce herself. She does not need to prove seriousness. She does not need to build trust from scratch. That saves time, money, and risk.

Howie on Duluth Tourism: How a local yes turned Duluth into a destination

Legendary Canal Park entrepreneurs Andy Borg and Mick Paulucci bet on Duluth before betting on Duluth was fashionable. They could have wished Scott Keenan luck and gone back to worrying about lunch service. That their restaurant brand didn’t need a long-distance running experiment attached to it.
