The City of Duluth’s contractor, Ulland Brothers Construction, Inc., will begin work on a mill and overlay project Thursday, October 23, 2025 on East Superior Street between 33rd and 45th Avenues E.

The majority of the work on this project will be completed under traffic, but intermittent closures to side streets and individual driveways will occur as the work is being performed on each block.

East Superior Street between 40th and 45th Avenues E will be closed to through traffic to allow for full-depth pavement patches, and traffic will be detoured to London Road for approximately one week. The tentative start date for this detour is October 27, and the detour will be posted.

No Parking signage will be posted as necessary. Vehicles left on a no-parked segment of street will be towed at the owner’s expense.

This project is expected to be substantially complete and open to all traffic in mid-November.

Please review this closure at the City’s Road Closure Map (https://duluthmn.gov/engineering/maps/)

The City of Duluth is announcing its second annual snowplow naming contest. Following the popularity of last year’s first-ever contest, the City of Duluth will begin accepting submissions for suggested names of a City of Duluth snowplow today, October 22. Any Duluth resident may submit their most creative name for one of the City’s snowplow truck fleet via a form on the City’s website for a chance to win a prize package that will once more make the winner the envy of their neighborhood.

Name submissions are accepted online through October 29. The collected name submissions will be narrowed to a field of finalists, which will be announced on City of Duluth social media and the City of Duluth website on November 3, at which time the public can vote online through November 7 for their favorite snowplow name. The name that receives the largest number of votes wins. The person submitting the winning name will be notified on November 11 that their name was selected. The newly-named snowplow will debut at the Christmas City of the North Parade. The resident with the winning name submission will get the opportunity to take a photo with the plow and the crew, to ride in the snowplow during the parade, and will receive unlimited bragging rights.

Details, timeline, rules, and regulations are available at https://duluthmn.gov/snow/snowplow-naming-contest/

During this week in Duluth in 1907, members of Park Point’s makeshift volunteer fire department tested the world’s first and only known firefighting streetcar. From 1870 to 1905, Park Point was cut off from the rest of Duluth by the Duluth Ship Canal. Until 1889, when the first Fire Hall #5 was constructed at 11th Street South, firefighting equipment had to be brought over on a ferry—but the hall was manned by only one firefighter. After the Aerial Transfer Bridge was built in 1905, the firehouse in “Uptown” (“Canal Park” today) could send reinforcements to help with fires south of the canal, but they first had to be contacted, which created delays. In 1907 the city purchased a streetcar from Interstate Traction, which built and began operating the community’s streetcar line in 1890. The streetcar had vastly improved transportation on the point, as Minnesota Avenue was not paved until 1915. Before that the roads were all sand, difficult for wagon teams (and later automobiles) to navigate. The city rebuilt the streetcar and outfitted it with ladders, extinguishers, 1,500 feet of hose, and a pump to draw water from St. Louis Bay. According to Minnesota streetcar historian Aaron Isaacs, “The city paid the company $30 a month to store the car, maintain it, and furnish a motorman whenever an alarm was turned in.” On October 20 at 9 a.m., led by DFD Chief John Black, the volunteers boarded the streetcar and rode the tracks along Minnesota Avenue from the car barns at 19th St. S. to the White City Amusement Park and the end of the streetcar line at 38th St. S. It took just eight minutes for them to travel, lay out 800 feet of hose, and start a steady stream of water flowing through it. The paper commented that the addition of the volunteer fire department gave the residents of Park Point “a feeling of much greater safety.” Nine days after that test run, the volunteers got their first call, a fire in the home of James Murphy at 3711 Minnesota Avenue. By the time the fire-fighting trolley arrived, the house was a total loss.
