  1. The fact is, the Medical community has stated that people, meaning employees and residents, need to be 1,000 to 1,500 feet AWAY from freeways to avoid several major health problems, including cancer.

    Downtown Duluth’s situation is that this separation is ONLY 300 to 500 feet. There is one way this can be corrected, and it has been in the paper half a dozen times over the past year. It is to cover the freeway, collect its air, treat and expel the air. Leave the highway exactly where it is, create walkways up and over the top and FINALLY CONNECT DOWNTOWN AND CANAL PARK, AND YES, CONNECT TO THE LAKE AND LAKEWALK. All green with its own forest and plants–no buildings, no roads, no cars, no freeway noise, and the highway safely underneath, not requiring salt, not creating runoff, not creating danger to people and its air problems solved.

    What’s wrong with achieving what the Medical world has told us? Separate people and vehicles!!!

    Feel free with questions.
