Director of Transportation Services Ryan Knuckey is recommending that the city
establish a free shuttle bus between Sutton Pool and Flora Pool this summer seven
days a week while Flora pool is open.
Sufficient funding is available in the Transit Division Operating Expense Budget to cover
the $39,434 in costs.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

FROM: Ryan Knuckey, Director of Transportation Services
SUBJECT: Flora Pool Shuttle
DATE: May 5, 2022
PURPOSE
To propose that The Jule operate a Flora Pool shuttle bus from June 3, 2022 until
August 13, 2022 .
BACKGROUND
Due to understaffing, the City plans to open just one of its two pools this summer. Flora
Pool is scheduled to open on Friday, June 3, 2022 but Sutton Pool is not scheduled to
open in 2022. Sutton pool is located closer to some of the lower -income neighborhoods
in Dubuque. Much like Flora, the majority of patrons come to Sutton via walking, car, or
bus. Flora pool is located more central to Dubuque as a whole and there is a bus stop
located at Flora Park on Pennsylvania.
DISCUSSION
In order to meet the transportation needs of the Sutton pool patrons, The Jule will offer
a Flora Shuttle route seven days per week. The route will consist of one forty-five
minute loop and one thirty minute loop. The east loop will travel on Rhomberg Ave. to
Sutton pool and will also make stops on Jackson Street., Windsor Avenue, Elm Street,
West Locust, Main Street, and Bluff Street. The west loop will provide a new
transportation option for mid -town and the west -end Flora pool patrons including stops
on Pennsylvania Avenue, JFK Road, Sunset Park Circle, Asbury Road, and Radford
Road. Passengers can access this route from a designated bus stop or from one the
Jule's three transfer locations, the Intermodal at 950 Elm Street, the Midtown Transfer
at Allison and Henderson Park on North Grandview Avenue, and the JFK Transfer at
3355 Kennedy Circle. Citizens can also utilize the current bus routes to access Flora
pool Monday thru Saturday.
The Jule does not currently offer bus services on Sundays. Public Transit entities that
provide fixed route services must also provide ADA paratransit services for persons
whose disabilities prevent them from using the fixed route system. This requirement
means The Jule will run two buses, staff two drivers and a dispatcher on Sunday.
The Flora Pool Shuttle will be free to ride for all ages.
