Right now we lack a large traffic flow due to limited number of completed buildin gs. I think more people will solve most of the"amenity"challenges. For example if the buildings are all done, I am confident a small grocery pantry store would open as well as possibly even a small drug st ore/c-store type of place.

Would like to see more free parking near the library. 1 Weather is biggest driver of where to park 1 Tourists and other visitors to Dubuque routinely comment negatively on the large number of parking ra 1 mps and parking lots that have created a disjointed and non-cohesive Downtown.Visiting urban plann ers, here for business, are astounded that Dubuque would do such a thing to its Downtown. This city should be embarrassed. Dubuquers walk real distances in mall parking lots, but can't handle walking t wo city blocks. Dubuque does not have a parking problem, it has a walking problem. To many unused parking ramps/spaces downtown. 1 There is too much metered parking.There is not enough to visit in downtown Dubuque, nor is there e 1 nough variety in what is there,to be worth the hassle of fighting for metered parking. The metered par king is all coin payment based, so few people carry coins on them and its inconvenient and often prev ents me from visiting the downtown area. There is too much during the summer. (April-October) Eliminate some and put in protected bike lane 1 s. Bikes take much less space to park. There is plenty of available parking. People just have to park and walk. It would be helpful to have loa 1 ding zones for 10 minutes to stop and load something in the vehicle near the door to a business I'm vi siting. There is a massive over abundance of parking and I'm mostly the wrong places. Dubuque needs to s 1 pend every penny of"parking"money on pedestrian and transit improvements. There are WAY too many ramps in downtown Dubuque. With less ppl working in the downtown distric 1 t, I feel they are an eye sore- I would prefer to have one large parking ramp for all of downtown rather than multiple 2-3 level ones. The street lighting surrounding the downtown district is inadequate.There are not enough street lights 1 and the ones that are there aren't bright enough. Paid parking is also a huge barrier to downtown busi nesses and services. There should be more free parking available, especially near city services such as the library and city hall. https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/1 adf97a622a640029d2c23fbe21315b1/analyze?position=O.OtherAlternativeComments&chart=O.Suggestions... 34/47 10/31/22,9:21 AM Parking/Mobility Survey and Historic Millwork District Survey The more EV chargers are spread about downtown,the more I will spread my business around.

If there were 5 restaurants or shops I want to go to in different parts of town, the one with an EV charger available and operating would often, if not always, determine where I'd spend time and money. The city should reduce and restrict the number of curb cuts(for private driveway access)feet within a 1 block.This reduced the amount of on-street parking (taxpayer subsidized)and allocated for private us e. Street parking should not be allowed on streets that are not wide enough to accommodate 2-way traffi 1 c.

Overall, I think parking in downtown is very convenient.....a little walk is good for you. 1 Overall, I am less concerned with being able to pull right up to my location, and more concerned with 1 have parking availability and safe passage to my destination. Our family is usually downtown for either quick errands or for a larger, multi-hour visit. For errands, pr 1 oximate on-street parking is preferred. I need to have available,flexible length, nearby parking for mu sician gigs. When we're downtown as a family for events,we're usually happy to walk a ways,weathe r cooperating!Agree that the amount of surface lot parking in Dubuque is excessive and could be mo dified to green space or other civic improvements.

Having them onl 1 y visible from the sidewalk side is incredibly frustrating. I think to encourage more people visiting downtown, millwork district and other locations in Dubuque, 1 parking on weekends should be free. I think parking is fine. I don't have a problem with parking downtown. It is WAY better than downtown 1 Ames. If I don't see easy street parking I go to a ramp. I cannot recall ever not being able to find parki ng when I want. I think improving the bus system would also be very helpful. I have a bus stop by my house but the ea 1 rliest bus comes at 9 and requires several bus changes; I'm planning on getting a car and more electri c options would be nice I think downtown parking is more than sufficient in amount and priced reasonably.

The only things that are important to me from you lists are: Clear sign age for rates and times Cleanliness Not included in your list, but important:Well maintained Clear info rmation online about rates and times I should not have meters in front of my single-family house. What/Who decides were meters start/sto 1 p? It seems a little pick and choose. I think the alternate side of street parking could be eliminated in t he summer. It makes sense for removal of snow, but the summer street cleaner machine pays no atte ntion to this. https://survey 123.arcgis.com/su rveys/1 adf97a622a640029d2c23fbe21315b 1/analyze?position=O.OtherAlternativeComments&chart=O.Suggestions... 36/47 10/31/22,9:21 AM Parking/Mobility Survey and Historic Millwork District Survey I love that I can still put a quarter in the meter. Other cities will say its$2 and after using the app, it$3. 1 50. I have never had a problem parking in Dubuque as long as I was willing to walk 2-3 blocks.This inclu 1 des big events at 5 Flags, downtown weddings, and daily work for the last 7 years. Parking in Dubuqu e seems to be more about a lack of knowing where to park than the quantity available as well as an u nwillingness to park further than directly in front of the destination. I get a discount for tolls while driving through Illinois. Is there an option to make parking downtown mo 1 re cost effective for businesses and their employees?What can we do to encourage employers to hav e their employees assist with the parking issues? Possibly, assign spots to business in city ramps that they employers pay for but then are guaranteed parking?There seems to be many privately owned lot s around downtown. How can we empower those that own the lots to be part of the solution? How we surveyed the lots and how full they are during certain peak times? I feel that there is generally plenty of parking near wherever I want to go downtown.The rates are affo 1 rdable, and I tend to use coins in meters because the Passport Parking app charges a quarter to use i t. I don't mind walking from where I park to where I'm going, but I rarely have to walk far because park ing is pretty easy to find. I do not like parking in parking ramps and feel like they are a waste of money and are not needed. I w 1 ould prefer we spend our money on public transportation and infrastructure for non-car alternative mo des of transportation. Get rid of one way streets.They are contrary to parking efficiently. 1 Free parking is imperative. Doesn't mean I want to see horrific parking garages that tower everywher 1 e. I've been places that do tickets but if you are going to a business in the area they are able to validat e it and it's free. So so valuable. I am a fan of a few open air lots that are a block behind the main dra g. Then one or two 2-3 floor garages at the ends of the main drag or one in the middle. If parking met ers remain, keep the availability of app-less paying. Not everyone can afford smartphones. Bicycle pa rking lots would be cool too that have cctv. Focusing on creating safe places for walkers, children, bikers and people using assistive tech. Focus 1 on making downtown pleasurable to walk in. Dubuque needs a vibrant downtown and paid parking discourages it. Do 2 hour free parking in certain 1 areas with retail and food. Could we maximize parking more by overselling lots? If Millwork District grows how do we balance gr 1 een space along with need for more parking? CCTV cameras would be maybe be helpful for safety 1 https://survey 123.arcgis.com/su rveys/1 adf97a622a640029d2c23fbe21315b 1/analyze?position=O.OtherAlternativeComments&chart=O.Suggestions... 37/47 10/31/22,9:21 AM Parking/Mobility Survey and Historic Millwork District Survey Available parking drives the areas. The city should have acquired property and made an abundance o 1 f free parting. Certain city managers should have been replaced years ago. As a single female, safety and feeling safe and secure is my top priority overall. There are a lot of are 1 as in downtown that are quite dark or off the main streets which can feel unsafe to walk alone. Adequate parking exists in Downtown Dubuque. Some employers are now starting to pay for employe 1 es parking. This is great but problematic in a sense that the employee"has no skin in the game."Spe cifically a problem when that employee only works in their office 2 days per week.A parking stall is be ing reserved by this employee(and paid by the employer)for 5 days per week, leaving 3 days each w eek that no other person can use this reserved parking space. In this case the employee who works 2 days in the office is not out any money since they did not pay for it, leaving lots of empty stalls in ramp s and lots. Multiply this scenario over a company and we have the current situation we are in; Resery ed numbers show at capacity but actually use rate is far far below capacity. 2-way stops are dangerous to cross with the amount of parked cars blocking a clear view of oncoming 1 traffic. (I'm looking at you, 11th and Main!)This goes for travelers on foot, on bike, and in cars.Vehicle s shouldn't be able to park so close to intersections. Prioritize human life over parking.And when it co mes to paying for parking, I detest the mobile apps!

Protected bike lan es in town are a must if people wont follow a 25mph speed limit and given size of most cars and truck s these days.Another parking ramp is not the solution getting people fast,frequent, applicable bus se rvice or failing that protected bike lane will reduce congestion, pollution and allow people to enjoy dow ntown more then having a truck blow by doing 40 on a small street.

Downtown Dubuque is very large, but also very walkable, which means its very bike-able as well. Dubuque also needs to invest in street lighting, alley lighting, small businesses to fill in desolate stretches and gaps, and garbage cans on more corners-these are subtle cues that encourage walking. There aren't enough uber/ride share drivers in Dubuque.This is a safety concern-everytime I have ta 1 ken an uber home from a night out it takes upwards of three hours to find a way back downtown to pic k up my car-not a good message for people who want to drink responsibly. Transit routes are not effi cient-too many stops,which make it take too long to reach destination. No real express routes to/fro m residential to employment centers. Routes on map are very confusing-lines that run more frequent ly on a"grid"pattern would make navigation of system easier. The schedule for the Jule is impractical. It doesn't operate on Sundays-people both work on the week 1 end and go out on those days.The time during the week ends before 7pm,which is not particularly pr actical for using public transport after 9-5 working hours.And the hours are even shorter on Saturday. The perception that riding a bicycle presents a credible threat from motorists is huge... and merited. 1 The city should be using it's buses instead of making us pay for school district transportation 1 Scooter rental would be cool 1 Right now the various districts and neighborhoods are disjointed from each other. Mobility could be a 1 way to physically join the districts and neighborhoods closer together and strengthen them. Public transit is difficult to use when living outside the city limits. 1 Own the means-build a city owned bike share DO NOT contract w the Limes and Lyfts of the world!!! 1 Our bus routes/services are terrible,they make no sense, and are super insufficient.Additionally, the 1 PDF on the transportation website that indicates bus routes is confusing and hard to read. We need a complete overhaul of the bus system if we want more people to use it. Need busses to cost slightly less or make it more simple 1 More bus times and routes. Need a campaign for using the bus. It's green and wont get an OMVI. 1 Make designated bike lanes on the west end district. Right now,You literally cannot ride a bike on Asb 1 ury Rd or JFK to get to the majority of businesses in Dubuque. Lack of protected bike lanes is the#1 issue. It just does not feel safe to ride a bike on the street in Du 1 buque. https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/1 adf97a622a640029d2c23fbe21315b1/analyze?position=O.OtherAlternativeComments&chart=O.Suggestions... 44/47 10/31/22,9:21 AM Parking/Mobility Survey and Historic Millwork District Survey It would be amazing to live in a Dubuque that was significantly more bike friendly, but can see the limit 1 ations of topography and existing narrow, curvy, and steep arterial streets accessing downtown. Woul d love to bike more, but also realize we chose to purchase a home in the West End,where bike acces sibility is non-existent. If I lived closer to downtown and did not have to drop children off for child care timely public transporta 1 tion would be something to have access to. If an alternate was as efficient regarding time, I would use it.A personal vehicle is fastest, most flexibl 1 e, and generally safest in a collision. The first two items could be managed if safe trails/protected bike lanes were available. I'd love an improved bus system 1 I would love it if Dubuque invested more money in making walking and biking easier throughout the cit 1 y. Thanks for providing this platform for feedback. I was a recreational and commuter bicyclist before moving to DBQ. Sold my bike after seeing how da 1 ngerous city streets were for cyclists.There are great trails and hills to conquer in the area, but I might have gotten killed getting to them. (I did not at the time have a car or bike rack.)As a reluctantly aging pedestrian, the lack of available benches for taking a break means I will be walking less as I get older, unless benches and seats become more common.The benches could be appealing, and not merely u tilitarian;works of artistic expression rather than something quotidian ordered out of a catalog. Maybe shaped like the bridge, or designed by local artists. I prefer commuting via bike(as opposed to car) but I wish I felt safe doing so.There are so many uns 1 afe drivers and not nearly enough infrastructure for bike transportation. This is such a car-dominant cit y and I really wish the city would de-center cars in their approach to planning. I do love public transpor tation but have only tried Dubuque's bus system once. I'd have to use it more to say anything about it. It certainly doesn't get used enough. Individual modes of transportation are not sustainable so I'd like t o see the city be more aggressive towards its supposed interest in sustainability. I often use vehicle during day or on way to or from work for errands.Also I live up the hill so the thoug 1 ht of ridding home is not overly appealing. I live downtown and dont always want to walk past certain areas alone 1 I just prefer the freedom of having my own vehicle in case I need to make additional stops. 1 https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys/1 adf97a622a640029d2c23fbe21315b1/analyze?position=O.OtherAlternativeComments&chart=O.Suggestions... 45/47 10/31/22,9:21 AM Parking/Mobility Survey and Historic Millwork District Survey I have heard from those that ride the bus that the bus stops are not sheltered enough. It is difficult for t 1 hem to wait in all weather conditions with what they are carrying (groceries, laundry(from laundroma t), kids, etc.). Do we ever partner with business that have specific shifts so they know many employee s will be getting on/off at similar times. Do we encourage those employers to offer options of riding on the bus or carpooling?The solution cannot be only on the City,we must empower those with options t o use them. I currently don't feel safe riding a bike or other alternative mobility option around Dubuque.A protecte 1 d lane would be a great place to start! Hills are a barrier for biking in much of Dubuque, but I am interested in following several of my friends 1 who have purchased electric bikes, and they say the hills are not such an issue now.The lack of on-st reet bike facilities is still a barrier, however. I've not ridden a scooter, though I'm open to trying it, but I'd rather ride a bike.The Jule does cover a lot of the city, but the limited frequency does not make it t he most attractive option. For fun, I just went to the Juke site to plan a bus trip to the millwork district from my home for an eveni 1 ng. I could get there by 6:30pm following a short walk to a bus stop. Totally reasonable. HOWEVER, I could not take the bus back.There were no routes to come back after that time. How can I use public transport to go out for an evening if the bus stops running by 7pm? I guess I got spoiled living in Ame s, you had to get pretty close to midnight to be in risk of there not being a bus home. Even though my full-time employer encourages alternative mobility options, I often need my own vehi 1 cle for work-related activities or because there is little to no time for transportation between meetings. Dubuque should have a free circulating bus traveling up White and down Central.This would allow pe 1 ople to use more distant parking and still allow them to visit multiple places for entertainment or work. Dubuque needs more bikes paths,for tourist, and to get to work. Ebike are the future. Look Madison b 1 ike path compared to Dubuque. Decreasing on street parking and increasing bike lanes during warmer months makes sense given Du 1 buque's climate.Widen the sidewalk beside 20 up the hill and continue the resulting trail to Grandvie w/Fremont. Connect to protected bike lane on Coates/Brunskill. Somehow connect to Crescent Ridge. Add bike lane to Grandview from Finley south to Bryant Elementary.Take out a lane of traffic on JFK and put in a bike lane. Connect to NW arterial trail. Downtown and midtown now have reasonable bik e infrastructure that connects to most shopping.Add a bike lane uphill on Locust to connect up to Clar ke and Dubuque senior and give another protected route up the bluff between 20 and NW arterial. City initiative/program to encourage bike use and driver awareness/safety 1 Bike share, water taxi would be cool 1 https://survey 123.arcgis.com/su rveys/1 adf97a622a640029d2c23fbe21315b 1/analyze?position=O.OtherAlternativeComments&chart=O.Suggestions... 46/47 10/31/22,9:21 AM Parking/Mobility Survey and Historic Millwork District Survey https://survey 123.arcgis.com/su rveys/1 adf97a622a640029d2c23fbe21315b 1/analyze?position=O.OtherAlternativeComments&chart=O.Suggestions... 47/47 --_ - - ��-�-:a _- - ..;. �''�+ ;:� r� ��' ---:'r � +` � " -- ,,� _. ��''�1 '� �� . 1 'c +,7 - � � _ _'�,-� _ � _ ►+ '9l. _. .. �"-� � �.. � _ ,� BOLTON �,' �- �, � - �� - , �►. r & M E N K � - ^ _ ,�; �- - _ ;,�� „T ..� .. � . � �_ , _„ � � . � 'l, rti�, ' y�. _ � - ` 'y� ''ry.'�[- 't•i j�'� - +_. n� .�� 1 �i _ i�,a; , � .�i,�-y„ �` 4.��• . `.� �+ ��.+�..,�i �. ..w�'�� `.fi2 �- .,t_�-�+ o.� .. _,`��T�F,-�.�.. - :T � ,. ��.-�- ��I • �.� •^. � '}�� -.�. ._ � I�� ti i .
