                      Public Invited to Submit Ideas for Trail Naming Project

[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth is inviting the public to submit ideas to name a new 4+ mile trail that connects users from Rice Lake Road down to the head of Tischer Creek. The trail is currently referred to as the "Lowell to Lakewalk" trail and is a unique vertical trail in Duluth connecting neighborhoods, colleges, and schools along the way.

Name suggestions should align with the intent of the trail which promotes alternative modes of transportation, connects colleges and several public and private schools, provides a safe route for students, and integrates community health, economic vitality and environmentally-friendly principles in its design.
