Hi Superior,

October is starting with a great new addition to Downtown Superior. On Sunday, Oct. 4, our Fall Fest will be joined by the inaugural Superior Mural Festival, produced in partnership with Street Wise Arts.

Artists will be working throughout Downtown Superior to transform walls with original murals inspired by this year’s theme of nature and regrowth—a theme that feels especially meaningful for Superior as our community continues to grow, change, and define what comes next.

From 1 to 4 p.m., you’ll be able to watch artists paint live, take a guided or self-guided mural tour, enjoy free art activities and exhibits at the Civic Space, and spend some time at the Fall Market with live music, food, drinks and local vendors.

I’m especially excited about what this brings to downtown. Public art gives a place character. It creates reasons to stop, explore, and come back. And as Downtown Superior continues to evolve, this is exactly the kind of creative, community-focused energy we want to build on.

I hope you’ll come down, wander around, watch the artists at work, and be part of the first one.

Respectfully,
Mayor Mark Lacis

Creativity meets community at the inaugural Superior Mural Festival!

With an average of 70 inches of snow each year, sunny days alone can't always keep roads and sidewalks clear.

That's why residents, Town staff, and contractors need to team up for snow removal.

• Homeowners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks bordering their property within 24 hours after a snowfall ends. If you cannot clear snow due to physical or financial constraints, consider seeking help from the Snow Busters volunteer program.
  
  
• Superior's Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department removes snow from priority sidewalks and paths. Explore the Sidewalk Snow Maintenance interactive map to see who is responsible for the sidewalks around you.
  
  
• The Town has partnered with Triton Snow Removal to plow most Town roadways during most storms. The partnership with Triton, which began in 2023, has enabled the Town to maintain a high level of service while using less deicing material and saving about $170,000 annually compared with the previous four years.
  
  
• The remaining residential streets, based on priority and snowfall amounts, are handled by our Public Works and Utilities Department.

Get outside, help your neighbors, and keep the community safe by volunteering for the Snow Buster program!

The program assists residents who report being physically and financially unable to clear snow, sleet, and ice from the sidewalk adjacent to their property to remain in compliance with Municipal Code 11-1-20.

If you need help or want to help others, Snow Busters is the program for you! Volunteers are matched with a resident who requested assistance with snow removal.

To volunteer or request assistance, visit the Town's Volunteers webpage.

Construction on Rock Creek Parkway between Enterprise Street and Coalton Road is ongoing.

Crews completed work on the northbound lanes and will focus on the southbound lanes in October. Two-way traffic will continue in the northbound lanes.

Crews will also complete a mill-and-overlay at the Rock Creek Parkway and Coalton Road intersection and on Honey Creek Drive, removing the top layer of damaged asphalt and replacing it with a fresh, smooth layer. This will require intermittent closures.

The Town appreciates your patience as this project enters the final month of construction.

Want to stay informed? Visit the Town Projects webpage, or check out the Town's new interactive road construction map for detailed views of closures, detours, and more.
