The City was awarded a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) RAISE Infrastructure Planning Grant which will provide for the planning and design of a multimodal transportation corridor project for proposed improvements to the Elm Street corridor, the 16th Street corridor, the Kerper Blvd. corridor, Chaplain Schmitt Island corridor, and the proposed 14th Street Railroad (vehicular and pedestrian) Overpass bridge project. The RAISE Infrastructure Planning Grant proposes a project entitled "Building Bridges to Employment and Equity (B2E2)". Through the grant, the City was awarded $2.28 million in USDOT RAISE Planning funds to assist with the planning and design of a multimodal transportation corridors which will connect vulnerable neighborhoods and low income residents with economic opportunities, recreational amenities and key community resources in the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park, on Chaplain Schmitt Island, in downtown Dubuque and its Historic Millwork District, and on the west side of the city via the downtown Intermodal Transportation Center. The project will also focus on multimodal transportation corridors with "complete streets" and proposed roundabout intersections along Elm Street and 16th Street corridors. The project would also include the design of an improved pedestrian/bike shared use path adjacent to the existing 16th Street Peosta Channel bridge to Chaplain Schmitt Island and strategically plan a roundabout at Captain Sheehy Drive on Chaplain Schmitt Island. On July 5, 2023, the City issued solicitations for competitive proposals from qualified professional consulting engineering firms or project teams to determine interest and capabilities and two firms responded.

BACKGROUND The City was awarded a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) RAISE Infrastructure Planning Grant which will provide for the planning and design of a multimodal transportation corridor project for proposed improvements to the Elm Street corridor, the 16th Street corridor, the Kerper Blvd. corridor, Chaplain Schmitt Island corridor, and the proposed 14th Street Railroad (vehicular and pedestrian) Overpass bridge project. DISCUSSION The RAISE Infrastructure Planning Grant proposes a project entitled "Building Bridges to Employment and Equity (B2E2)". Through the grant, the City was awarded $2.28 million in USDOT RAISE Planning funds to assist with the planning and design of a multimodal transportation corridors which will connect vulnerable neighborhoods and low income residents with economic opportunities, recreational amenities and key community resources in the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park, on Chaplain Schmitt Island, in downtown Dubuque and its Historic Millwork District, and on the west side of the city via the downtown Intermodal Transportation Center. In particular, the RAISE Infrastructure Planning Grant would be used for planning and design of physical connections that will directly benefit low-income residents in Areas of Persistent Poverty (Census Tracts 1 and 5) by connecting them to economic opportunities such as the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park and Chaplain Schmitt Island, and key community assets. Improving safety for all users is a key goal of the proposed RAISE Infrastructure Planning Grant. A primary focus of the B2E2 project is the elimination of an at-grade rail crossing conflict on 14th Street and will provide for the planning and design a proposed vehicular and pedestrian overpass bridge which will connect downtown residents to job opportunities while avoiding train crossing delays that negatively impact the safe and efficient movement of people and goods to and from the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park and Chaplain Schmitt Island. �"�' �h w L '�� '�. d�2..r `3 �Je••:- �-•�.-' .� M,�' . �����`_� l- 1- ' .�.•': �-ti.a�:. �- � .� sr�.�i-:-- ---it- _. .�, A -`� ���.��'�^�a.-.
