Meter Ordinance
On July 16, 2001, the City Council approved, at the request of the Dubuque Museum of
Art (DUMA), the removal of meters along the south side of 7th Street between Locust
and Bluff Streets and the creation of a no parking area. In exchange for this request,
the DuMA Trustees suggested creating parking along the east side of the 700 block of
Bluff Street where none had previously existed. Economic Development Director Bill
Baum is recommending a change to Section 32-262(d) of the Code of Ordinances
which creates a no parking area on the south side of 7th Street between Locust and
Bluff Streets and establishes the portion along the east side of the 700 block of Bluff
Street as part of the meter district.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Meter Ordinance
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council approval of a change in
Section 32-262 (d) of the Code of Ordinances regarding the downtown meter district.
Discussion
On July 16, 2001, the City Council approved, at the request of the Dubuque Museum of
Art (DUMA), the removal of meters along the south side of 7th Street between Locust
and Bluff Streets and the creation of a no parking area. In exchange for this request, the
DuMA Trustees suggested creating parking along the east side of the 700-block of Bluff
Street where none had previously existed in response to concerns regarding the loss of
valuable parking in downtown. This parking would be adjacent to a new parking lot that
will be used by DUMA. Bob Woodward of Woodward Communications Inc., owner of the
site, agreed to modify the curb along the western portion of their property to allow for
the creation of approximately 5 on-street metered parking stalls. This work is being
coordinated through the City of Dubuque Engineering department and the private
contractor for Woodward Communications.
When this request went to the City Council, no formal ordinance language was adopted.
The attached ordinance provides the necessary changes to the ordinance to create the
no parking area and establish the portion along Bluff Street as part of the meter district.
Request
The requested action is for City Council to adopt the attached ordinance amending
Section 32-262(d) of the Code of Ordinances.
