The Duluth City Council recently approved a proposal by the Downtown Development Authority to implement a trial valet parking service operation for four consecutive Fridays and Saturdays.

A valet drop-off/pick-up station will be placed in the half-round on West Lawrenceville Street and a professional valet company will be engaged to provide the service for four Friday and Saturday evenings during the ‘low’ season, most likely in January.

The DDA will partner with restaurants and the valet service to design incentives and pricing.

Total cost of the program is expected to be about $5,000 to run 4 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. More details to come as they program takes shape.
