FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Revised REAP Grant Application -Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail (Phase 3)
DATE: July 27, 2009
Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens is recommending the approval of the
resolution and application for a REAP grant of $200,000 for Phase 3 of the Iowa 32
Bike/Hike Trail.
Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 (Northwest Arterial) Bike/Hike Trail will extend the 10-foot wide
paved trail approximately 1 mile from Plaza Drive to Holliday Drive along the west side
of Iowa 32. The City Council approved the REAP grant application on July 20, 2009.
The project budget has been revised to reflect engineering consultant fees of $24,955
and a $20,000 project contingency. Development costs remain at the engineer's
estimate of $202,285. The revised estimate for total project cost is $247,240. Leisure
Services Manager Gil Spence has sufficient funding for the engineering fees and
contingency.
The City does not have a current CIP budget for the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail. No match
is required for REAP grants; however, a City match improves a project's
competiveness. Budget Director Jenny Larson has indicated that if the FY10 REAP
grant is received, the project can be added through a budget amendment. The attached
REAP grant application for Phase 3 of the logwa 32 Bike/hike Trail is for the Maximum
grant of $200,000.
concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

IL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
If acquisition, give acres and describe the resources and existing facilities/improvements on and adjacent to the property. Also describe
its prospective use and management goals. If rare, unique, or high quality representative plant and animal species and communities
occur on the site, provide a listing of them. If development, describe the facilities to be constructed, existing facilities in the project
area, and the natural resources in the area. If this application is for the continuation of a project that previously received a REAP grant,

features, and archaeological elements. Also, explain both negative and positive impacts on these resources that will be caused by the
project.
VII. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND PARTICIPATION
Explain the extent of public participation in the formulation of this proposed project. Describe the process and mechanisms used, and
the fmdings. Do not include the actual public participation reports, board meeting minutes, and petitions in the application, but rather

Minority Impact Statement
Pursuant to 2008 Iowa Acts, HF 2393, Iowa Code Section 8.11, all grant applications submitted to the State of Iowa which are due
beginning January 1, 2009 shall include a Minority Impact Statement. This is the state's mechanism to require grant applicants to
consider the potential impact of the grant project's proposed programs or policies on minority groups.
Please choose the statement(s) that pertains to this grant application. Complete all the information requested for the chosen
statement(s).
® The proposed grant project programs or policies could have a disproportionate or unique positive impact on minority persons.
Describe the positive impact expected from this project
Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail will provide a 10-foot wide paved trail physically separated from the motorized traffic
on Iowa 32 by an open space located within the highway right-of--way. This type of facility is well suited for all users.
A physically separated pathway like Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail accommodates the greatest number of user
groups, by taking into consideration the differing abilities of the potential trail users. This paved off-road trail will facilitate
access by youth, older adults, persons with disabilities, and similar special needs populations.
The City's initial investment in the citywide bike/hike network has created a 10.5-mile on-street Heritage Trail Riverfront
System through many of the community's targeted neighborhoods and the central business district. These areas have a higher
than average concentration of racial and ethnic minorities, low and moderate income households, rental units, single-parent
households, and elderly persons than the city at large.
Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail project will provide access to the significant population of low to moderate income,
racially and ethnically diverse, and older households that reside in the north end of Dubuque. The Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail
project will be open to all users without a fee, which also facilitates its use by economically disadvantaged persons.
Indicate which group is impacted:
^ Women
® Persons with a Disability
® Blacks
® Latinos
® Asians
® Pacific Islanders
® American Indians
® Alaskan Native Americans
® Other
^ The proposed grant project programs or policies could have a disproportionate or unique negative impact on minority persons.
