Good morning, Duluth.

Lake Superior Zoo welcomed a new sand cat from the Kansas City Zoo as part of a conservation effort under the AZA Sand Cat Species Survival Plan (Bastet).

She remains in quarantine (under standard protocols) while the zoo modifies the Main Building habitat to pair her with resident male cats for breeding.

Duluth Police said a missing 10-year-old girl was found safe on March 25 after she was last seen around 7:30 p.m. on the 1700 block of North 43rd Avenue East in the Lake Side neighborhood.

Northland firefighters are training with the DNR using new equipment and improved communications — they are preparing for an active wildfire season and plan to hire more seasonal crews to help combat fast-growing fires.

Officials say the training also focuses on safety measures to reduce risks from dry, ember-caused fires.

MnDOT has begun scoping a plan to resurface a mile stretch of Highway 61 from just after the Lester River bridge to the start of the expressway and to update the busy junction with East Superior Street.

Project manager Tom Lamb said officials are weighing a roundabout—improving traffic flow but costing more—against a simpler continuous tee as construction is scheduled to begin in 2029 and public feedback is still welcome.

Officials announced today that new signs will soon be installed on the Blatnik and Bong Bridges in Superior to display the mental health resource 988 — which offers free, 24-hour crisis support.

The project was led by Chrissy Barnard of NAMI Lake Superior South Shore in partnership with Superior, Douglas County, and WisDOT.
