Those of you that like to do a bit of walking and sight seeing after getting a refreshment from the Portland Malt Shop are going to have to stay above the Lake Walk and watch the boats from up above or walk to Leif Erickson Park or through the Fitgers complex.

The City of Duluth will be doing repair work starting June 1st on the stairs leading from the Portland Malt Shoppe down to the Lakewalk Trail (716 East Superior Street). So the stairs will have to be closed, due to the nature of the work, for about nine weeks. Some of the railings and concrete work will have to be updated and is not safe for people to use while the work is being done.

The city is hoping by doing this work now the stairs will last just as long as they have and also look better contributing to the overall Lake Walk experience.  Any questions about the work can be directed to 218-720-5230.
