A petition was presented, signed by the abutting and adjacent prop- erty owners on Wood Street, from West 14th Street to Rosedale Ave- nue, asking that the street be paved with concrete paving. It is their opinion that Emulsified Asphalt will not stand up under the conditions found in their street. However, if the Council insists that the Emulsified Asphalt paving be used, they will not accept it unless the street re- ferred to be reconditioned by first reinforcing all weak spots caused by the installing of sewer, water and gas connections, recently put in, and that the Council request the Barber Asphalt Co. to extend their guar- antee that the street will hold up for at least 15 years. Signed by I. J. Plamondon, Jos. L. Schroeder, John P. Feller et al. (35 signers) Mr. Plamondon addressed the Council relative to the petition. We, the undersigned- property own- ers who have previously signed a petition duly presented to your Council, expressing our desire for Concrete paving on Auburn Street, from West Fourteenth to Dexter Streets, protest as a protection of our individual rights as taxpayers, on the assessment for Emulsified As- phalt paving on said street, as a pro- tective measure against your action in awarding a contract for a type of pavement which, in our opinion, is experimental as evidenced from the fact that from the best information obtainable there has been no Emul- sified Asphalt used as a permanent paving material successfully up to the present time. Petition signed by Merrill Pregler, G. W. Heitkamp, Don A. LeVan et al. (8 signers) Frank Fuhrman et al addressed the Council relative to the petition. Councilman McEvoy moved that ac- tion on the awarding of contracts for the improving of Algona Street from West 14th Street to Delaware Street, Auburn Street from West 14th Street to Dexter Street, and Wood Street from West 14th Street to Rosedale Avenue, for Emulsified Asphalt, to Uhlrich -Paley Co., be postponed for one week and the Barber Asphalt Company be asked to guarantee that this type of paving will hold up for at least 15 years.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, Dubuque, Iowa. Gentlemen: At a meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission held August 11th, 1930, the follow- ing resolution was adopted. RESOLUTION Whereas, the City Council has re- ferred to the Planning and Zoning Commission the widening of West 4th and West 8th Street, and Whereas, the City Planning and Zoning Commission has had corres- pondence with Mr. John Nolen, now employed by the City of Dubuque, regarding the proposed improvement, and Whereas, the recommendations of Mr. Nolan are as follows: August 5, 1930. Mr. Richard V. McKay, Secretary, Planning and Zoning Commission, Dubuque, Iowa. Dear Mr. McKay: The present preliminary stage of the city planning studies make it necessary to present suggestions and recommendations with some reserva- tion in the light of future and more comprehensive conclusions. The matters referred to your commission for recommendation on July 17 by the Council pertaining to 4th Street and 8th Street are matters having considerable connection and atten- tion along with other related matters at the present time. As basic factors to be kept in mind in considering the present problems in question, we would point out the following items applicable to the business sections of the city. (a) The street for the purpose of this statement is the right -of -way used for street purposes and extend- ing from property line to property line. (b) The pavement includes the space between curbs. (c) The pavement in the cases mentioned should be divided into an equal number of traffic lanes and parking spaces for traffic in each di- rection. (d) The traffic lanes should be ten feet wide. (e) The space for parking of cars parallel to the curb should be eight feet in width and for parking 45 de- gree angle, should be twelve to 11 teen feet. (f) The space for trolley cars should be ten feet wide per track. (g) The width of the sidewalk in this type of street is very important and should not be less than ten feet and preferably fifteen feet wide, in- cluding the curb. The effective width will be somewhat reduced by the nee- 18th, 1930 267 essary and permitted lighting stan- dards or poles. The width of 4th and 8th Streets is indicated on. the maps available to us as being sixty -four (64') feet wide. This overall width would al- low- 1. 2 -10 foot traffic lanes 20 feet 2 -12 foot 45° angle park- ing spaces 24 " 2 -10 foot sidewalks 20 " Total 64 feet 2 2 -10 foot traffic lanes 20 feet 2— 8 foot parallel park- ing spaces 16 " 2 -14 foot sidewalks 28 " Total 64 feet 3. 4 -10 foot traffic lanes 40 feet 2 -12 foot sidewalks 24 " Total — 64 feet We interpret the expression "street widening" as used in your letter to mean the widening of the pavement on 4th and 8th Streets. From a city planning point of view widening of a street pavement should be clearly related to the type of property abut- ting on the street, the resultant traf- fic doing business there, the loading and unloading of merchandise from street to store, the parking space available nearby, or in garages, and the amount of through traffic using the street as a channel to other parts of the city, and the amount of ped- estrian use for sidewalks, the width of the street right -of -way, and the relation of the street to the general thoroughfare system of the city. There are certain fallacies regard- ing streets and thoroughfares that should be pointed out, namely: the supposition that traffic on a street always means greater business for the abutting stores, and that there is no longer need for ample sidewalks. While we are not in a position yet to state final conclusions, there are certain observations that may be made to aid the commission in mak- ing their recommendations. 1. In so far as possible the load- ing and unloading of merchandise or freight from trucks should be in the alleys or platforms located with- in the buildings. 2. Balance should be preserved between sidewalks and street pave- ment even to the extent of having only parallel parking on the 64 foot streets. 3. Certain of the business streets are now too narrow and the only satisfactory recourse is to prohibit parking entirely, a very drastic measure, or to actually widen the street right -of -way by establishing building set -back lines and gradual- 268 Special Session, August 18th, 1930 ly at the time of the construction of new buildings to increase the street width. 4. A means probably can be found to relieve the pressure of traffic on the downtown business streets by by- passing through traffic around these streets. 5. Specifically, 4th Street is relat- ed to the elimination of the grade crossing over the railroads to the east and 8th Street is related to the approach from the west, so that both are linked up most directly with the thoroughfare system which will be devised for the city. Sincerely yours, JOHN NOLEN, By Justin R. Hartzog, Associate. (Please note that Mr. Nolen has neglected to take into consideration the ten foot street car track in con- nection with the 8th Street widen - ing.) The Planning and Zoning Commis- sion felt that Mr. Nolen's letter of August 5th was rather indefinite and instructed the Secretary to get in further correspondence with him. following wire was sent to Mr. Nolen on. August 12th. August 12th, 1930. Mr. John Nolen, Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. Your three arrangements for sixty - four foot street neglects Street car tracks as on Eighth Street STOP Please rush airmail statemnt show- ing more definite recommendation which we may convey to Council STOP As they stand your figures appear to Planning Commission an argument in favor of present plans to widen streets STOP Regards R. V. McKAY, Secretary. On August 13th the following reply was received from M. Nolen. August 13th, 1930. "Cambridge, Mass. Richard V. McKay, Secretary, Planning and Zoning Commission, Dubuque, Iowa. Telegram received our recent let- ter not intended as recommendation but merely explanation because our advice is not to act at this time on proposal to widen Fouth and Eighth Street STOP Later more essential traffic and city planning information Will be available on which to base the best possible decision. STOP If action is imperative now for reasons With which we are not familiar we Would not favor the proposed wid- ening because so far as we know local Dubuque conditions the bene- fits of proposed widenings Would not justify cost and difficulty parking 's necessarily temporary regulation and subject to change.
