Streets.mn Virtual Happy Hour: Rethinking Duluth’s Core

Have you ever driven, ridden or walked around in Duluth and noticed how Interstate 35 cuts through the city almost impenetrably?  Perhaps you have noticed the sheer scale of the freeway and overpasses and their seeming lack of relation to the context of the human-scaled surroundings? Maybe you wish there were more natural spaces, softer landscaping with plantings and less noisy, high-speed traffic passing through the heart of the city.

Please join the conversation at our upcoming Virtual Happy Hour on Wednesday, April 21 (6:30-8 p.m.) with special guest Jordan van der Hagen of the Duluth Waterfront Collective!

Read to the end to find your link to connect with us on Zoom on April 21.

Jordan and Duluth Waterfront Collective will describe their efforts, titled Highway 61 Revisited, to engage conversation and advocate for rethinking Duluth’s connection with its waterfront from a people-centered lens. For a sneak peek, check out the compelling content on their website or social media. Or, stay right here on streets.mn and read a two-part article Jordan has written for us before (part 1, part 2).   

We look forward to hearing your questions for Jordan and what visions you have for a rethought waterfront and urban core in Duluth. Hope you can join us!
