Duluth’s Slow Street Revival Plan | Duluth News

Duluth is turning First Street into a “slow street” to revitalize its downtown—slowing cars, welcoming pedestrians and cyclists, and adding local art and history to spark community life. With grant funding in the works, the city plans a pilot project and small business grants to test the concept, all while tackling a housing crisis with under 2% rental vacancy and soaring prices. Experts see huge potential: the flat terrain makes it perfect for walking and biking, and with 300+ acres of redevelopment underway, this could be the key to bringing people back to the heart of Duluth.
