COMMUNITY BACKGROUND
The city of Dubuque is located on the Mississippi River in northeastern Iowa, adjacent to Illinois
and Wisconsin. As Iowa's oldest city, Dubuque is a community well known for its historic and
architectural beauty. The city is over 30 square miles in area, with a population of nearly 60,000
persons. The community has a stable and diversified manufacturing base and a growing service
sector. Dubuque is the major retail, medical, education and employment center for the tri-state
area. Tourism continues to be a major economic force in the community.
The City of Dubuque is governed by an elected Mayor and City Council and managed by a City
Manager. The City funds a full range of municipal services. City government works in
collaboration with the private and non-profit sectors to promote economic development and
sustainability. Sustainability and downtown, neighborhood, and riverfront planning and
revitalization are long-standing priorities of the City Council. The City's website is
www.citvofdubuque.org. The City Council goals and priorities are available online at
www.citvofdubuque.org/councilgoals.
SUSTAINABLE DUBUQUE
Sustainability is defined by a community's ability to meet the environmental, economic,
and social equity needs of today without reducing the ability of future generations to meet their
needs. Sustainable Dubuque is a holistic approach to making our community
sustainable. Our model involves a three-part approach that address:
• Environmental and Ecological Integrity
• Economic Prosperity
• Social and Cultural Vibrancy
Each of these pieces is important individually and helps contribute to a sustainable
community that is viable, livable, and equitable.
In 2006 and every year since, the Mayor and City Council identified becoming a more
Sustainable City as one of their top priorities for our community. Implementation of a
community-defined sustainability plan is among the top Council priorities of this year,
and each of this year's priorities incorporate one of the parts of Dubuque's model of
sustainability. Find out more at the www.sustainabledubuque.org website.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed skate park must meet the safety and standards for current action skate park
design principles in Iowa and the U.S. that include flow, traffic patterns, skill levels, and ability
levels as well as being of the highest quality with regards to design. The project plan should
include addressing whether this skate park should include opportunities for inline skating,
bicyclists and /or scooters. The process should engage all potential user groups, potential
partners and the community.
The skate park should draw and engage local users to a facility that will challenge beginners to
experienced users. The facility shall provide street and park style elements, obstacles and
terrain as determined by the City of Dubuque and the community engagement process. It has
not been predetermined whether the facility will be concrete, metal, or other materials or
whether it should be a skate park, skate plaza, skate spot or other configuration. This will be
determined through the evaluation and design process. A review of the location(s) of the user-
base for identified new and/or existing facility and/or means to get to them will be a part of the
study.
The consultant will also evaluate and make recommendations for the current skate parks
operated by the City. The skate spot at Comiskey Park (255 East 24th Street) is a metal
element park that is approximately ten (10) years old and was built by American Ramp
Company. The skate park at McAleece Sports Complex (1801 Admiral Sheehy Drive) is also a
metal element park that is approximately fifteen (15) years old and built by American Ramp
Company. In 2008, the elements were retrofitted with 10-guage steel surfacing.
The City has funds budgeted towards the completion of this project. This figure is all inclusive
of the skate amenity as well as other associated amenities included but not limited to restrooms
and parking. The cost of the evaluation and design as well as any project costs related to the
City's current skate parks is a part of the total budget. The City has committed $600,000 and
has also challenged the local parent and skate park user group to raise an additional $200,000
which would make the project total up to the $800,000 budget.
