This is the beginning of my vision for Downtown Duluth. There are plans and best practices, but at some point, you have to put a direction on the table that people can see, react to, and build around. This is mine. For more than a year, I’ve been thinking about how Downtown Duluth can become the best version of itself. How can we learn from other cities without trying to become them? What already makes Duluth special that we can build upon? After turning that question over about a thousand different ways, a surprisingly simple idea emerged: What if we folded nature back into downtown? Downtown is currently an island of concrete, brick, glass, and metal surrounded by parks, trails, waterways, overlooks, and some of the most beautiful natural spaces in the city. Yet very little of that experience continues into the heart of downtown. My concept is to create a trail system through downtown that becomes both a physical experience and our primary system for wayfinding and communication. Not a trail in the traditional sense, but a connected network of routes, natural elements, signage, public art, gathering spaces, and visual cues that makes downtown easier—and more enjoyable—to explore. By changing the experience, we can also begin changing the story we tell about downtown. Instead of treating it as separate from the outdoor culture Duluth is known for, we can make it part of it. The images here are a small selection from a much larger body of work. I’m currently looking for ways to fund Phase 2: developing the trail map, activating the first loop with temporary and permanent wayfinding, and creating a system that other organizations can use as they invest in downtown. I’m also exploring ideas for skywalk murals, safer and more natural connections across I-35, new green spaces, and places for respite during winter. There’s a lot more to figure out. But that’s the point of putting a vision out into the world. See you on the trail. Downtown Duluth brand logo taken in Hillside Studio by @hartdistrictduluth

@blacklistbeer, the Hart District’s brewery. A spot to meet up with your crew for a local brew or THC drink. Or maybe at a game of ax throwing, or enjoy live music from their fabulous line up of artists. Did you know they also have a room that you can rent for your event? taken in Duluth, Minnesota by @hartdistrictduluth

The @sheratonduluth is a fabulous spot to stay while you’re visiting Duluth. Comfortable rooms, the @rstrnt301, and access to shopping, restaurants, and fitness studios all close by. Walking, running and biking along the lake walk are a few steps away. And did you know you can live at the Sheraton? Right now there are a couple units available. taken in Duluth, Minnesota by @hartdistrictduluth
