Existing parallel parking was reconfigured into angled parking to allow for more on-street parking and calm the vehicular speeds. Trees, pedestrian amenities, and decorative paving were added to the new downtown landscape, along with an extensive new street lighting package to bring the city a more vibrant sense of place for businesses, residents, and tourists.
As a result of these improvements, flooding problems have been reduced significantly and the city is pleased with the safer intermixing of vehicle and pedestrian movements throughout key locations in downtown Grand Marais.
