INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the 2025 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project One.
BACKGROUND
Since 1990, the City of Dubuque has installed pedestrian access ramps around the City of
Dubuque to conform with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The pedestrian access
ramps allow people with mobility difficulties to access the City's sidewalk system. The
design standards for these ramps have evolved over time as more ramps have been
installed and standards have changed.
Since 2011, The City of Dubuque follows the Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian
Facilities in the Public Right -of -Way. These are updated standards to use for facilities in
the public right-of-way and addressed issues brought up since the original ADA standards
were developed. The Iowa Department of Transportation has adopted the PROWAG
standards. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has also adopted the standards
and requires all cities that receive federal funding to follow these standards.
DISCUSSION
The 2025 ADA Sidewalk Curb Ramp Project One will provide for the replacement of
access ramps on Asbury Road from John F. Kennedy Road to Avalon Street in conjunction
with the Public Works Asphalt Overlay program at the following locations:
1. Asbury Road and John F. Kennedy Road, three directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps
and one non -directional ADA sidewalk curb ramp.
2. Asbury Road and Crissy Street, two directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
3. Asbury Road and Evergreen Street, two directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
4. Asbury Road and Woodlawn Street, two directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
5. Asbury Road and Avalon Street, two directional ADA sidewalk curb ramps.
