Renaming A Portion of East Sixth Street to East Fifth Street
Prior to the construction of the US Highway 61 overpass, all portions of East Sixth
Street were physically connected. The completion of the highway project resulted in
East Sixth Street being divided into two unconnected portions. As part of the highway
project, East Fifth Street was extended under the overpass and connected to the
easterly remaining portion of East Sixth Street.
Public Works Director Mike Koch and Building Services Manager Rich Russell
recommend that the street extending southeasterly from the intersection of East Fifth
and White Streets be named East Fifth Street, that stop signs be erected for
southbound traffic on Bell Street and westbound traffic on East Fifth street, and a yield
sign be erected for eastbound traffic on East Fifth Street.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

Renaming A Portion of East Sixth Street to East Fifth Street
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to recommend the renaming of a portion of East
Sixth Street in the Port of Dubuque and officially name East Fifth Street from
White Street easterly to the renamed portion of East Sixth Street.
DISCUSSION
Pdor to the construction of the US Highway 61 overpass, all portions of East
Sixth Street were physically connected. The completion of the highway project
resulted in East Sixth Street being divided into two unconnected portions. As
part of the highway project, East Fifth Street was extended under the overpass
and connected to the eastedy remaining portion of East Sixth Street.
Due to the expected tourism traffic in the area and to reduce confusion for local
drivers, the portion of East Sixth Street east of Cypress Street should be
renamed East Fifth Street. The portion of East Fifth Street constructed as part of
US 61 from White Street easterly to East Sixth Street should be officially named
East Fifth Street. The lots listed in the Ordinance attached were pumhased for
the construction of East Fifth Street. Portions of Bodega Street, Adams Street,
and a public alley also should be renamed to East Fifth Street to resolve
conflicting names in the immediate area. The Engineering Division has provided
an exhibit for an understanding of this area.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Also, because of the construction of the Bell Street paving and the additional
traffic at the intersection of East 5th and Bell, stop signs should be installed at
these intersections. Because of the anticipated major flow of traffic, stop signs
should be placed for southbound traffic on Bell Street and westbound traffic on
East Fifth Street and a yield sign for eastbound traffic on East Fifth Street.
The City Council is requested to adopt the ordinances for the naming of East
Fifth Street and also the ordinance providing for the installation of two stop signs
at the corner of East Fifth and Bell Streets and a yield sign for eastbound traffic
on East Fifth Street.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the street extending southeasterly from the intersection of East
Fifth and White Streets be named East Fifth Street, that stop signs be erected for
southbound traffic on Bell Street and westbound traffic on East Fifth Street, and a
yield sign for eastbound traffic on East Fifth Street.
