'',, 34o Regular Session, August 2nd, 1948 Iowa State Highway Commission Ames, Iowa. July 30, 1948. Mr. A. A. Rhomberg City Manager Dubuque, Iowa. Dear Mr. Rhomberg: I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 22, with at- tached traffic data for three in- tersections on Primary Road ex• tensions in Dubuque which you propose to signalize. These intersections are at 2d and Locust streets, 6th and Locust streets, and at 20th and Jackson streets. In your analysis of this data and conditions surrounding these intersections, you refer to the 20th and Jackson Streets in- tersection as being well within the residence district. This may be true insofar as Jackson Street is concerned, but I understand that 20th Street, which is the exten- sion of Highways 61 and 151, has been considered as a business zone for some time and has been so marked with speed zones on both sides of this intersection. Under the law approval by the Highway Commission is not necessary at an intersection in the business district of cities with over 4,000 popula- tion. As we have it then, all three of these intersections are within business zones or districts and the city would be at liberty to signal- ize them at their pleasure. I have gone over the data which ' you submitted and there is no ques- tion as to the two intersections on Locust Street qualifying for sig- nals under the general volume war- rants, The traffic volume at 20th and Jackson Streets is somewhat less but I believe your plan to boule- vard Jackson Street so as to make it attractive to some of the traffic which now congests Central Ave- nue has considerable merit and probably would accomplish that purpose. Under these conditions it would seem that the intersection at Jackson and 20th Streets would warrant a signal and I would be glad to recommend approval of it by the Commission if that were necessary. I would suggest that you go a- head with your plans however, as you have them. If we can help you in any way with those general matters we will be more than glad to do so. Very truly yours, W. 0. Price, Engineer Safety and Traffic, Councilman Thompson moved that the communcation be re- ceived and made a matter of rec- ord. Seconded by Councilman Wharton.
