Downtown
Update
Second
Street Road
Construction Begins Next Week
Second
Street is slated for more
construction work starting April 19th. The first
phase of the project will include the parking lane and lower traffic
lane from 4th Avenue East to
12th Avenue
East. Once that is completed, work
will begin on the other side, closing the upper traffic lanes.
The second phase of the project moves from 12th Avenue
East to 21st Avenue
East.
Second
Street will remain open during
this reconditioning project; however drivers should use caution and
watch for posted signs and work crews.

Passenger
Rail Terminal Study Proves Positive for
Downtown
A study presented to the
St. Louis County Board this week shows the historic Depot is well
suited for reuse as a passenger rail terminal in the future. It also
highlights significant opportunity for development in the
surrounding area and the ability to connect with the DTA’s proposed
multimodal facility. The county requested the study last year
to examine the site’s potential due to the planned return of
passenger rail service between Duluth
and the Twin Cities.
The report and related
documents can be found at… www.stlouiscountydepot.org.
