Parks and Rec to hold public meetings on the Interpretive Plan for the Waabizheshikana: The Marten Trail

[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation division cordially invites the public to virtually participate in one of two public meetings on the Interpretive Plan for the Waabizheshikana: The Marten Trail (formerly the Western Waterfront Trail).

The meetings will be held on Tuesday, December 15, at 1:00 p.m. and Wednesday, December 16, at 6:00 p.m.  The presentation content and process will be the same at each meeting.  

The meeting will be hosted by the City of Duluth’s Parks and Recreation division and their consultant team led by the firm Urban Ecosystems. Meeting Agenda will include:

• Introductions

• Purpose of Project

• Presentation of Draft Plan and Recommendations

• Question and answer opportunity to solicit feedback

In the Fall of 2019, the City Council approved the Waabizheshikana: the Marten Trail Mini-Master Plan, which recommended completing a separate interpretive planning process that explores the themes, mediums, and stories of the river, land, and its people.

Waabizheshikana: The Marten Trail is made up of the existing 3.3-mile trail alignment, the 7-mile trail extension (proposed), and the adjacent green space managed and maintained by the City of Duluth for recreational and conservation purposes.

To access the virtual meetings please visit https://duluthmn.gov/live-meeting, then select Parks and Recreation Public Meetings.
