The City Clerk's Office is submitting the 2024 City Council Official Proceedings for City
Council approval.
In accordance with Title 1-6A-4 of the City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances, the City

proceedings each calendar year. This compilation includes the minutes of all regular
and special City Council meetings held from January through December, along with the
full text of all resolutions and ordinances adopted. Additionally, a comprehensive
subject index is included. Once complete, the compiled proceedings are submitted to
the City Council for approval and then sent for printing and binding. The bound volume
serves as the permanent official record of City Council actions for that year. Typically,
five books are printed and bound. The official copy resides in the City Clerk's Office,
with additional copies provided to the City Manager's Office and Carnegie -Stout Public
Library. The two remaining copies are given to the Center for Dubuque History at Loras

RFP. City Manager Van Milligen stated that

District Court of Marshall County; Pg. 5: City of
Marshalltown; Pg. 7: Rall; Pg. 13: City of Mar-
shalltown; Pg. 14: Marshall County District
Court. Responding to a question from the City
Council, City Attorney Brumwell stated that
multiple contracts were reviewed to compile
the most robust and up to date information in
the RFP. City Council Members discussed the
possibility of the identified vendor funding a
marketing campaign for the city's automated
speed enforcement and how that could poten-
tially increase the vendor's cost. City Council
Members concluded that the motion should
include the suggested changes to the RFP.
Motion amended by Jones to receive and file

ACTION ITEMS
1. Proposed Rental License Fee Increases
for February 2024: Motion by Jones to receive
and file the documents and adopt Resolution
No. 32-24 Approving the increase in fees for
the rental license and inspection program.
Seconded by Wethal. Housing and Community
Development Director Alexis Steger respond-
ed to multiple questions from the City Council.
Ms. Steger cautioned against hiring an addi-
tional Housing Inspector, stating that a signifi-
cant amount of time and money is necessary
to train inspectors. Since staff intend to reduce
inspections to a three-year cycle, an additional
inspector may not be needed by the time that
individual is fully trained. Ms. Steger stated
that city staff would inspect a unit if they re-
ceived a tenant concern and did not receive a
response from the landlord. City Manager Van
Milligen stated that the city's goal is to fund
90% of the housing inspector roles through
rental inspection fees and the remaining 10%
through general funds based on inspectors
having some duties outside of rental inspec-
tions. City Manager Van Milligen also summa-
rized the city's previous and current rental unit
inspection processes. Per the current process,
landlords are not charged for their first inspec-
tion but are charged for their first re -inspection.
City Attorney Brumwell summarized the op-
tions for legal action on abandoned units. City
Council Members engaged in discussion re-
garding the recommended timeframe for in-
spections and encouraged tenants to report
concerns regarding their rental units or land-
lords. Mayor Cavanagh emphasized the agen-
da item was to approve fee increases and re-
quested the City Council discuss aspects out-
side the scope of the agenda item during the
upcoming budget process. City Attorney
Brumwell stated that the City Council would
receive a memo from her prior to the budget
hearings that will outline the process for dis-
cussing budget items. City Manager Van Milli-
gen confirmed that the Housing Department's
Fiscal Year 2025 budget hearing is scheduled
for March 28, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. Motion car-
ried 6-1 with Wethal voting nay.

mental Association's (ECIA) Dubuque Metro-
politan Area Transportation Study (DMATS).
Mr. Van Milligen emphasized that this initiative
is separate from the agenda item. Director of

that other railroad intersections are being ex-
amined for potential funding from Consolidated
Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements
(CRISI) grants. City Council Members stressed

Book 154 Regular Session, February 19, 2024 38
Whereas, the City was awarded a USDOT
RAISE Infrastructure Planning Grant which is
providing for the planning and design of a mul-
timodal transportation corridor project for pro-
posed improvements to the Elm St. corridor,
the 16th St. corridor, the Kerper Blvd. corridor,
Chaplain Schmitt Island corridor, and the pro-
posed 14th St. Railroad (vehicular and pedes-
trian) Overpass bridge project; and
Whereas, the multimodal transportation
corridors will connect vulnerable neighbor-
hoods and low-income residents with econom-
ic opportunities, recreational amenities and
key community resources in the Kerper Blvd.
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;
and
Whereas, the RAISE Planning Grant is be-
ing used for planning and design of physical
connections that will directly benefit low-
income residents in Areas of Persistent Pov-
erty (Census Tracts 1 and 5) by connecting
them to economic opportunities such as the
Kerper Blvd. Industrial Park and Chaplain
Schmitt Island, and key community assets;
and
Whereas, the impending increase in train
traffic due to the recent merger of the Canadi-
an Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads
will negatively impact our region with the num-
ber of trains passing daily through the down-
town urban core of the City doubling, from 9
trains to 18 trains by 2027; and
Whereas, this increase in daily train traffic
will lead to significant delays at 10 existing at -
grade rail crossings and will hinder the efficient
movement of people and goods, significantly
impacting vulnerable neighborhoods, emer-
gency response, and key employment centers;
and
Whereas, improving safety for all users is a
key goal of the RAISE Infrastructure Imple-
mentation Grant; and
Whereas, a primary focus of the B2E2 pro-
ject is the elimination of an at -grade rail cross-
ing conflict on 14t' Street and 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 Blvd.
Industrial Park and Chaplain Schmitt Island;
and
Whereas, the B2E2 project will also focus
on multimodal transportation corridors with
"complete streets" improvements along Elm St.
and 16th St. corridors, an improved pedestri-
an/bike shared use path adjacent to the exist-
ing 16th St. Peosta Channel bridge to Chaplain
Schmitt Island, and incorporating multi -lane
roundabouts at the 16th St. / Sycamore St.
intersection, and the Admiral Sheehy Dr. /
Greyhound Park intersection on Chaplain

RESOLUTION NO. 154-24
AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF A GRANT
APPLICATION WITH THE U.S. DEPART-
MENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL
RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION FOR A CON-
SOLIDATED RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE AND
SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS (CRISI) GRANT
TO ASSIST WITH FUNDING FOR PRO-
POSED SAFETY, EFFICIENCY, AND RELI-
ABILITY IMPROVEMENTS TO AT -GRADE
RAILROAD CROSSINGS IN THE CITY OF
DUBUQUE
Whereas, the Consolidated Rail Infrastruc-
ture and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Pro-
gram is designed to improve the safety, effi-
ciency, and reliability of intercity passenger
and freight rail where at -grade railroad cross-
ing improvements are one of the eligible pro-
jects; and
Whereas, the United States Department of
Transportation Federal Railroad Administration
provides CRISI grants on a competitive basis;
and
Whereas, the federal funding share for
CRISI projects is 80% of the proposed cost of
eligible at -grade railroad crossing improve-
ments; and
Whereas, the City's funding share for CRI-
SI projects is 20% of the proposed cost of eli-
gible at -grade railroad crossing improvements;
and
Whereas, the impending increase in train
traffic due to the recent merger of the Canadi-
an Pacific and Kansas City Southern (CPKC)
railroads will negatively impact our region with
the number of trains passing daily through the
downtown urban core of the City doubling,
from 9 trains per day to 18 trains per day by
2027; and
Whereas, this increase in daily Class I rail-
road traffic through the city will lead to signifi-
cant delays at 13 existing at -grade rail cross-
ings and will hinder the efficient movement of
people and goods, significantly impacting vul-
nerable neighborhoods, emergency response,
and key employment centers; and
Whereas, improving safety for all users is a
key goal of the CRISI Grant; and
Whereas, the City of Dubuque believes
that improving railroad at -grade crossings will
help the City achieve its long-term objective of
improving safety, and reducing transportation
related injuries and deaths; and
Whereas, the Dubuque Metropolitan Area
Transportation Study (DMATS) is the Metro-
politan Planning Organization (MPO) for the
Dubuque Urban and Metropolitan Areas, and
will be the lead applicant with support from the
City of Dubuque and the City of East Dubuque
for the CRISI grant; and
Whereas, Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Corporation (BNSF), Canadian National Rail-
way (CN), and Canadian Pacific Kansas City
Railroad (CPKC) will be Partners on the CRISI
grant; and
Whereas, the City of Dubuque is seeking
the necessary CRISI grant funding for the im-
plementation of safety improvements to
Page 241 of 1311
155 Special Session, May 29, 2024 Book 154
existing at -grade rail crossings, and upon
completion, in cooperation with Canadian Na-
tional Railway (CN), and Canadian Pacific
Kansas City Railroad (CPKC), be responsible
for adequately maintaining and operating the
improvements for railroad and public use and
benefit during the project's useful life.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DUBUQE, IOWA, THAT:
Section 1. The City of Dubuque is hereby
authorized to file the grant application with the
United States Department of Transportation
Federal Railroad Administration for a CRISI
Grant to assist with funding for proposed safe-
ty, efficiency, and reliability improvements to
at -grade railroad crossing improvements.
Section 2. The City of Dubuque hereby

Motion by Roussell to receive and file the doc-
uments and adopt Resolution No. 170-24 Ap-
proval of plans, specifications, form of con-
tract, and estimated cost for the 2024 Pave-
ment Marking Project. Seconded by Sprank.
City Clerk Breitfelder stated that written input
was received by Steve Cook. Responding to
questions regarding the bike lane pilot project,
Traffic Engineer Justine Hull stated that July is
the targeted timeframe to have designated
bike lanes painted and that feedback on the
program would be solicited via phone calls,
traffic camera footage, and partnering with
organizations such as Dubuque Forward and
Dubuque Main Street. Ms. Hull stated that
removing certain parking spaces for the pilot
project would result in visitors having to park a
half block further away. Ms. Hull further stated
that city staff are considering various options
to reduce project costs if the city decides to
permanently install the bike lanes. Responding
to a question about renting parking spaces,
Ms. Hull and City Manager Van Milligen stated
that while the Transportation Services De-
partment would be most appropriate to answer
the question, the city does not rent on -street
parking spaces to individuals and that the
city's parking ramps have plenty of vacancies.
City Council Members expressed support for
the bike lane pilot project. Motion carried 7-0.

RESOLUTION NO. 179-24
AUTHORIZING TO PERMANENTLY CLOSE
THE 15T" STREET RAILROAD AT -GRADE
CROSSING
Whereas, the impending increase in train
traffic due to the recent merger of the Canadi-
an Pacific and Kansas City Southern (CPKC)
railroads will negatively impact our City with
the number of trains passing daily through the
downtown urban core of the City doubling,
from 9 trains to 18 trains by 2027; and
Whereas, in consideration of the proposed
14th Street Railroad (vehicular and pedestrian)
Overpass bridge, and the City's interest in
implementing safety improvements at all elev-
en (11) railroad at -grade crossings in the
downtown area; and
Whereas, said railroad at -grade crossings
improvements would allow the City to request
the Federal Railroad Administration establish a
Railroad Quiet Zone designation for Dubuque;
and
Whereas, as part of the CPKC's efforts to
improve safety, and reduce delays at railroad
crossings, the railroad has identified safety
improvements that will need to be made at the
15th Street crossing location; and
Whereas, in lieu of CPKC investing costs
at the 15th Street crossing location, the railroad
will compensate the City in the amount of
$100,000 for the permanent closure of the
existing 15th Street railroad at -grade crossing; and
Page 259 of 1311
Book 154 Regular Session, June 3, 2024 173
Whereas, to assist with the implementation
of the Railroad Quiet Zone, the railroad will
support a grant application by the City to the
Iowa Department of Transportation for a cross-
ing -closure incentive match payment of an
additional $100,000 from the State Iowa Sec-
tion 130 grant program; and
Whereas, there are existing at -grade rail
crossings one block to the north at 16th Street
and one block to the south at 14th Street; and
Whereas, in furtherance of the City efforts
to create a Railroad Quiet Zone designation
and to end the noise burden of downtown resi-
dents, downtown businesses, and guests at
locations such as nearby hotels who experi-
ence all of the train horn noise 24 hours a day,
it is appropriate to close the 15th Street cross-
ing; and
Whereas, the permanent closure of the
15th Street railroad at -grade crossing will im-
prove safety and help the City establish a Rail-
road Quiet Zone designation.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DUBUQE, IOWA, THAT:
Section 1. The City is hereby authorized to
permanent closure of the existing 15th Street
railroad at -grade crossing.
Section 2. The City Manager is authorized

COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Mayor Cavanagh read the below statement
as a call to action for all citizen to practice civil-
ity during this time in our nation's history and
at all times.
There are moments in American history
when we as citizens have the obligation to
pause, reflect, and choose a path ahead that
best serves our Democratic Republic. This
weekend, we have experienced one of those
moments with the attempted assassination of
former President Donald Trump.
Let me first say that I along with my col-
leagues of the Dubuque City Council wish
President Trump a speedy recovery, and we
are keeping him and his family in our thoughts
and prayers.
I also want to recognize and thank the
many elected and appointed public servants in
our country - from President Biden to former
President Trump himself, and onto our repre-
sentatives at our local, state, and national lev-
els - who have made genuine and heartfelt
calls for civility, calm, and unity in the weeks
and months ahead.
I implore all of our elected and appointed
leaders to keep this focus at this challenging
and pivotal time.
Tonight, I want to take these calls for unity
and civility one step further, and speak directly
to the people of Dubuque, IA. It's easy to look
at moments like this and quickly become para-
lyzed by the gravity and difficulty of the situa-
tion. It is understandable that one's reaction
may be, "What can I do? I'm just one person
living here in a city on the Mississippi."
Thankfully, this is one of those moments
where our actions matter. What we all choose
to do next, right here where we live, will shape
the future of our country.
We are all on the same team. We are hu-
man beings, we are Americans, we are Io-
wans, and we are Dubuquers.
We have a direct impact on the success of
our community and our country through the
way we treat each other.
How we speak to each other, how we write
to each other, how we write about each other
on social media, how we listen, how we inter-
act and how we show civility and respect... We
control each and every one of these things.
We may disagree and that is healthy for
democracy. When we argue about ideas we
must learn from one another. But when argu-
ing and disagreements reach the point of inci-
vility, when we are no longer listening to one
another or respecting one another, and when
we have. resorted to violence, we have gone
too far.
The solution to this national problem be-
gins right here where we live together. When
we live in a city of just under 60,000 people,
we have a unique opportunity to get to know
each other, interact with our neighbors and
fellow Dubuquers every day, and solve our
challenging problems together.
As a country, we have lost our way. As
people living in Dubuque and places like it, we
have the solution. I encourage all of us to re-
commit ourselves to unity. We have what it
takes to be respectful, have an open mind, and
really listen to each other. We can find
Page 318 of 1311
232 Special Session, July 29, 2024 Book 154
common ground and work together.
We do these things every day in many
parts of our lives. We can recommit to doing
them more and we must DEMAND that our
leaders do the same.
This includes the members of the City
Council sitting right here, and the City of
Dubuque workers who served you every day.
On behalf of my colleagues, tonight, we re-
commit to you that we will continue to serve
this community with respect, civility, openness,
transparency, and kindness in the spirit of true
public service,
I know each of us in the community has
what it takes to find the right path forward for
our city, our state, and our country. Thank you,
everyone, for doing your part to once again
make us a truly United States of America.
Council Member Jones reported speaking
at a Q Casino grand opening and reminded
citizens to check out the time capsule in Wash-
ington Park as the anniversary of the time
capsule is approaching.
Council Member Farber reported participat-
ing in an FCC conference at Google Head-
quarters with the National League of Cities and
thanked the Mayor for his profound words and
stated that we all should thank the Dubuque
Police Department for protecting all Dubuquers
so that we are safe to say what we want.
Council Member Roussell reported attend-
ing a Habitat for Humanities event where
"Sheep On The Go" provided a demonstration
of grass mowing.

tending the Tri State Wind concert.

WORK SESSION
Central Avenue and White Street Corridor
Traffic Study
Traffic Engineer Justine Hull introduced
Bolton and Menk Senior Traffic Engineer Jen-
nifer McCoy and Urban Planner Andrew Dres-
dner, who presented on the progress of the
Central Avenue and White Street Corridor
Traffic Study and outlined four potential sce-
narios for traffic routing. The consultants ad-
dressed a range of questions from the City
Council, covering topics such as interpreting
conflict points, congestion level timeframes,
state design standard requirements, connectiv-
ity, and the city's input on scenarios. In re-
sponse to questions, City Manager Van Milli-
gen noted that the 14th Street overpass, offi-
cially named the Building Bridges to Employ-
ment 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 con-
sultants 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 18, 2024. The City
Council offered feedback on several topics,

agement Plan.
WORK SESSION
Smart Parking Mobility Management Plan
Director of Transportation Services Ryan
Knuckey introduced Kevin White from Walker
Consulting, who together presented the pro-
gress of the Smart Parking Mobility Manage-
ment Plan. White responded to City Council's
questions on transaction fees, strategies for
the system to financially sustain itself, and
registration options for parking ramps. In re-
sponse to a question about data retention
timeframes for license plates, White explained
that the Information Technology (IT) depart-
ment had consulted with vendors to ensure
Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. Col-
laboration will occur with the City Attorney's
Office to establish appropriate retention peri-
ods. He also noted that users could opt not to
store their license plate information in the sys-
tem. Addressing inquiries about potential up-
dates to city code, White and Knuckey indicat-
ed that changes to on -street parking locations
and certain rate adjustments would be neces-
sary. Once the contract with the chosen ven-
dor for ramp parking technology is finalized,
staff will proceed with the relevant code up-
dates. City Council members voiced their sup-
port for the variety of payment options availa-
ble for parking meters and ramps, as well as
the use of data to guide informed decision -
making.

by Roussell to receive and file the documents
and refer to the City Council for discussion.
Seconded by Sprank. Planning Services Direc-

Page 441 of 1311
Book 154 Regular Session, October 7, 2024 355
consideration. Mr. Wernimont provided an
overview of the history of the City's Unified
Development Code (UDC), discussed the up-
coming UDC revision process, and highlighted
differences in sign regulations in other cities.
City Council members expressed support for
the ordinance imposing a temporary moratori-
um on new off -premises signs and initially pro-
posed holding the first reading of the ordi-
nance at this meeting, as it is a new proposal.
Motion by Jones to receive and file the com-
munications and approve first reading of a

certain streets, areas, or facilities by adding

conded by Sprank. After discussion, the City
Council concluded that allowing a two -week

that. Motion withdrawn by Jones, who then
motioned to receive and file the documents
and that the requirement that a proposed ordi-
nance be considered and voted on for pas-
sage at two Council meetings prior to the

Whereas, the City of Dubuque is commit-
ted to promoting the health, safety, and gen-
eral welfare of its residents; and
Whereas, the current Unified Development
Code (UDC) is in need of comprehensive re-
view and update to better reflect the communi-
ty's vision and land use goals; and
Whereas, off -premises signs can signifi-
cantly impact the aesthetic character of the
community, traffic safety, and the overall quali-
ty of life for residents; and
Whereas, the proliferation of off -premises
signs may result in adverse effects, such as
visual clutter, distraction for drivers, and poten-
tial conflicts with the objectives of the updated
UDC; and
Whereas, a temporary moratorium on the
issuance of permits for new off -premises signs
will allow for a thorough evaluation of the
community's needs, concerns, and prefer-
ences regarding signage and advertising; and
Whereas, the City of Dubuque desires to
ensure that the future development of off -
premises signs aligns with updated land use
regulations and community standards; and
Whereas, the temporary suspension of off -
premises sign permits is necessary to protect
the public interest while the UDC is being re-
viewed and revised.

from the City Council, Police Chief Jeremy
Jensen explained that the City's IT Department
manages IT services for both the City Police
Department and the Dubuque County Sheriff,
and that the cost is comparable to the City's
current software. Addressing a concern about
some of the software developers being located
overseas, City Attorney Brumwell noted that
Chief Information Officer Chris Kohlmann and
Senior Counsel Barry Lindahl reviewed the
contract. While the City can suggest changes,
they often must agree to the contract terms.
The IT Department reviews the technical as-
pects, while the City Attorney's Office evalu-
ates the legal components. City Council mem-

collaboration with Dubuque County and high-
lighted the importance of modernization. Mo-

a. The City proposes to undertake the fol-
lowing projects and acquisitions and to

sitions, other than pursuant to the issuance of

PUBLIC INPUT
Dan Walsh, 1219 Arrowhead Dr.; Tut
Fuller, 1145 S. Grandview; and Tyson Leyen-
decker, 1760 Overview Ct., all representing
Capra Bank, spoke regarding Action Item No.
1, expressing concerns with the recommenda-
tion of Dubuque Bank and Trust as the City's
financial services provider. They cited Dubu-
que Bank and Trust's impending sale to an
out-of-state entity and stressed the importance
of partnering with local banks. Mr. Walsh noted
that Capra submitted a dispute regarding
Dubuque Bank and Trust's Request for Pro-
posals (RFP) submission on October 18,
which was denied by the City Manager on Oc-
tober 23. He suggested that the City Council
consider tabling the action item. Kevin Finke,
6447 Torrey Pines Dr., of Dubuque Bank and
Trust, read a letter on behalf of Drew Town-
send, the bank's President and CEO, thanking
the City for its recommendation. John Schmidt,
1075 Bonnie Ct.; and Thomas Flynn, 21475
Girl Scout Rd., also spoke in support of Dubu-
que Bank and Trust, highlighting the local em-
ployment base of the bank.
ACTION ITEMS
1. Commercial Banking Services Recom-
mendation: Motion by Roussell to receive and
file the documents and approve Dubuque
Bank and Trust as the bank to provide finan-
cial services to the City of Dubuque for a five-
year period. Seconded by Jones. Chief Finan-
cial Officer Jennifer Larson made a presenta-
tion. Brumwell confirmed that Iowa Code
§362.5 specifies that a city official is not in
conflict of interest when voting on a contract
with a corporation in which they or their imme-
diate family own less than five percent of the
corporation's stock. Mayor Cavanagh stated
that some of his family members hold stock in
HTLF, the parent company of Dubuque Bank
and Trust, but clarified that this does not cre-
ate a conflict of interest, as their holdings are
below the 5% threshold. Van Milligen summa-
rized the city's investment process, including
the involvement of the Investment Oversight
Advisory Commission, and explained that oth-
er priorities, such as the Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) implementation and the re-
cently completed pay and classification study,
had delayed a re-evaluation of the city's bank-
ing services. He noted that the RFP required a
bank to have a staffed local branch. In re-
sponse to questions, Larson explained that
various financial records have different reten-
tion requirements. City Council Members ex-
pressed interest in learning how other Iowa
cities solicit banking services and how to as-
sess the reinvestment of the bank's funds with-
in the community. Van Milligen committed to
city staff researching these areas for the next
RFP. Larson stated that while most cities con-
duct an RFP for banking services, she was
unsure of the typical contract terms. Historical-
ly, the city has used a five-year contract period
but has not adhered to it recently due to ERP
implementation. Van Milligen noted that the
extensive process involved in changing finan-
cial institutions warranted the five-year
timeframe. The City Council discussed the
expertise of the RFP review committee and the
strong evaluation criteria used in making this
recommendation. They also indicated their
preference for the re-evaluation of banking
services through an RFP every five years.
Motion carried 7-0.

ferred alternative and emphasizing the need
for equitable amenities.
ACTION ITEMS
1. Central Avenue and White Street Corri-
dor Traffic Study Preferred Alternative En-
gagement Results: Motion by Sprank to re-
ceive and file the documents and approve the
preferred alternative for the Central Avenue
and White Street Corridor Traffic Study as
developed by Bolton & Menk. Seconded by
Wethal. Bolton & Menk Senior Traffic Engineer
Jennifer McCoy made a presentation. City
Council Members emphasized that tonight's
vote was only on the traffic alternative. Van
Milligen explained that once an alternative is
confirmed, staff will develop implementation
proposals through the budget process. In re-
sponse to City Council questions, McCoy clari-
fied that the proposed bike lane on White
Street would be fully protected from traffic,
whereas relocating it to Jackson Street would
result in an unprotected lane due to lower traf-
fic volumes. She also noted that trucking busi-
nesses had concerns about two-way traffic
and lane width but were open to further dis-
cussions on establishing a truck route. Ad-
dressing questions about the bike lane, Traffic
Engineer Justine Hull highlighted the need for
additional analysis and community engage-
ment to evaluate the feasibility of placing the
bike lane on Jackson Street. City Council
members expressed support for the chosen
alternative and the broader revitalization of the
corridor, including features like a bike lane and
green spaces. They also emphasized the im-
portance of timely implementation of the up-
dates. Motion carried 7-0.

ed that the site would be owned by the Dream
Center, with Dubuque County and city staff
leading site operations during disasters. The

partment would co -manage the training pro-
gram alongside the Dream Center. Goodmann
