Our city's beautiful Lakewalk is many things to many people.  For some it's a morning walk with the view of a calm lake.  For others, it's a place they can bring their pets for exercise.  Speaking of exercise, it's a place for people to job, run, ride bike and roller blade.  Other will remember their wedding photos taken there or falling in love walking hand in hand....ok, now I'm getting cheesy, but my point is if you've enjoyed the Lakewalk for whatever reason the City of Duluth needs your input.

Applications are being accepted if you would like to serve on a citizens’ Lakewalk Task Force.  You job, along with the other members of the Task Force will be to review and make recommendations regarding the following issues in the vicinity of 19th Ave East through 25th Ave East:

 

  • · Safety concerns at the corner of the Lakewalk, Water Street, and 23rd Ave East.
  • · Pedestrian access to the lakefront
  • · Accessibility for individuals with disabilities

You'll  consider the costs, benefits, and potential funding sources for potential options and will present its findings and recommendations to the Duluth City Council. The target date for completion of the group’s work is January 15, 2015.

If you are interested in being considered for membership on the Lakewalk Task Force, please send an e-mail to City Council President Linda Krug (lkrug@duluthmn.gov) by Wednesday, September 3rd. Include the following information:

  •  - Name
  • - Address

  • - The ways in which you make use of the Lakewalk (for example, bicyclist, jogger, walker, etc.)
  • - A brief (one paragraph) statement summarizing your reasons for wishing to serve on the Task Force and what you could contribute to the work of the group.

Thank you in advance for considering to help make a difference that all will enjoy!
