INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution authorizes the award of the Locust Street Connector and
Central Avenue Traffic Control Camera and Fiber Optic Improvements Project, Iowa
DOT Project No. STP-A-946-0(1)--86-31.
BACKGROUND
On December 3, 2007, the City Council approved (Res. 570-07) an agreement with the
Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) and the City of Dubuque (City) for the
funding of the Primary Highway Improvements Project No. 2008-16-019, Final Traffic
Control System Improvements (Iowa DOT Project No. STP-A-946-0(1)--86-31). Under
ICAAP funding, 80 percent (80%) or $330,090 of the total eligible project items are
reimbursable.
The traffic control system improvements will be made throughout the City including the
integration of a computer-based transportation management system to monitor, control,
change, and evaluate traffic conditions. Traffic signal improvements will also be made
on Locust Street at the US 20 and US 151/61 intersections.
The Primary Highway Improvements Project No. 2008-16-019, Final Traffic Control
System Improvements provides for the following:
- Locust Street at US 20 and US 151/61 Intersections: Traffic signal improvements at
the intersections near the Locust Connector, which includes the three intersections
on Locust Street at Charter, US 20, and the Locust Connector. It will also include
connecting the two intersections on US 151/61 at the Locust Connector and Jones
Street. This project includes installation of fiber and conduit along US 52 from City
Hall to Locust Connector at US 151/61. Communication equipment will be installed
at the primary intersections along US 52 and at the referenced 5 intersections. This
project will provide remote monitoring capabilities and will extend the traffic signal
interconnect back to City Hall.
- Traffic Signal Control System: The integration of a computer-based transportation
management system to monitor, control, change, and evaluate traffic conditions on
US 20 and all future coordinated corridors within the entire City. Currently the City of
Dubuque has a Public Interest Finding memo to the Iowa DOT requesting the
purchase of ACTRA, a traffic control software produced by Siemens. The City of
Dubuque will pursue the purchase of this software, if approved. Currently this
software purchase is not part of this project that is going to the State for bidding.
