Experiencing Interruptions?

Places for People: Safer 6th Avenue East

6th Avenue East is a relic of the former highway system that divides the Hillside neighborhood and is set to be reconstructed within the next ten years, with a chance to test new designs starting in 2024!

We can revitalize both the roadway and the Hillside neighborhood that it currently divides and create a healthy and welcoming gateway into the heart of Duluth.
