City of Duluth Coastal Resilience Study; Public Meeting, Feb. 16, 7:00 PM, Zoom

This study is part of a $258,000 FEMA grant the City received to find solutions to shoreline collapse on the the North Shore from Brighton Beach to Knife River.  The study will also evaluate the bayside of the Park Point Recreation Area and determine mitigation options for storm surge-related flooding and erosion.  Funding will pay for the areas of interest to be studied while determining solutions with the help of consultants.  It will set the City and its partners up to apply for funding that would assist in implementing the study’s outcomes.  

Skating update: The building hours for warming are posted below via link, everyone is welcome!

Sunday Feb. 6th Noon to 3pm at the Lafayette Rink; come and skate or just hang out by the fire ring and enjoy the moment and cook a marshmallow or maybe a hot dog. Updates due to conditions will be posted on the Postcard sign and on the website. It’s been a joy to see skaters on the rink and sledders on the hills at the park.
