The Duluth City Council voted recently to approve a contract with Wolverton & Associates for the development of a construction plan for repaving and reconfiguring the parking area behind Pure Taqueria, Red Clay Music Foundry and Street Smarts. This downtown parking area sits at a level below Main Street between these businesses and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.

The design and construction plan will cost $10,564, plus a 10 percent contingency of $1,056 for a total preconstruction budget of $11,620 and will be funded with unallocated 2009 SPLOST parking funds.
