Additionally, I believe the roadway decreases public safety. Written By: Tom Maloney, Duluth | 10:00 am, Jan. 30, 2021 × As a homeowner for 20 years in Lincoln Park and a heavy park user, I failed to understand Scott Marek’s desire to keep open Lincoln Park Drive, as he expressed in the Jan. 21 story, “Duluth revises plans for Lincoln Park after historical concerns raised.” Perhaps if he spent more time at his vacation home in Duluth, he'd be as frustrated as I am with the behaviors the roadway invites. The dumping of furniture, TVs, and tires is common when the road is open. I took a picture of discarded items and trash while walking on Lincoln Park Drive the week of Jan. 18, intending to share it with city councilors, before reading about Marek's uninformed efforts.
