CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL SESSION
The Dubuque City Council met in special session at 6:30 p.m.
on September 30, 2024, in the second -floor Council Chambers of
the Historic Federal Building, 350 W. 6th Street.
Present: Mayor Cavanagh; Council Members Farber, Jones,
Resnick (attended virtually), Roussell, Sprank, Wethai; City
Manager Van Milligen, City Attorney Brumwell.
Mayor Cavanagh read the call and stated this is a special
session of the City Council called for the purpose of
conducting a work session on the Central Avenue and White
Street Corridor Traffic Study.
WORK SESSION
Central Avenue and White Street Corridor Traffic Study
Traffic Engineer Justine Hull introduced Bolton and Menk
Senior Traffic Engineer Jennifer McCoy and Urban Planner
Andrew Dresdner, who presented on the progress of the Central
Avenue and White Street Corridor Traffic Study and outlined
four potential scenarios for traffic routing. The consultants
addressed a range of questions from the City Council, covering
topics such as interpreting conflict points, congestion level
timeframes, state design standard requirements, connectivity,
and the citys input on scenarios. In response to questions,
City Manager Van Milligen noted that the 14th Street overpass,
officially named the Building Bridges to Employment and Equity
(B2E2) Project, is projected for completion in 2030. He also
mentioned that he advised the consultants not to request any
decisions from the City Council tonight, given that it was the
first time the information was being presented and the session
was meant for discussion. Van Milligen indicated that the
timeline for implementing any updates to traffic routing is
contingent on the funding source, pointing out that any major
changes will likely result in a projected completion date of
2030. In response to a question about why costs were not
included with each scenario, the consultants explained that
they deliberately chose not to present cost information at
this point in the study to focus on guiding principles. If the
traffic routing scenarios are narrowed down to two options,
they will be able to share cost details at their next
presentation to the City Council on November 18th, 2024. The
City Council offered feedback on several topics, including
gathering public input from various stakeholders, enhancing
connectivity to key Iocations and routes, addressing parking
concerns, and determining how to achieve the desired vehicle
speeds.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mayor Cavanagh declared
the meeting adjourned at 7:49 p.m.
