Our concerns are hereby noted: 1.We have a denser population in the area as the subdivision west of the intersection of David Drive and JFK just south of the arterial is quite built up. 2.During the winter when snowfall has occurred,people are pushed to walk into the street as there is no attempt to move any of the snow where there would be a sidewalk.The average speed of the vehicular trafflc is anywhere from 35-45+miles per hour along that stretch of the road.On a dark morning or into the evening,the usual dress of dark and or grey sweatshirt and pants are very difficult to see,especially when one approaches the crest of the two hills in the route!They blend in quite well with the darkness of the road. 3.Many more kids are enrolled at Eisenhower than before.Traffic in the A.M,and P.M.during school times is much heavier during entry and dismissal. 4.If homes do not have a pre-existing sidewalk,there is never any attempt to shovel a path along the grassway to enable people to have an unencumbered walkway.They are pushed into the lane of automobile traffic by this act of negligence. S.There is now a wonderful pathway/trail that parallels the arterial.However,there is not one slab of concrete sidewalk that leads to it or accesses it from any of these directions.Again,people are pushed into the lane of traffic. 6.In addition,I have observed that there are 2 separate school bus stops along the west side of JFK from the arterial to David Drive. These stops are necessitated due to the fact that there is a law that,rightly so,takes the safety of the student into concern and does not wish to have them walk in the street.In this case these 2 stops,within 5 seconds of each other,are about 100 yards apart.This acurs around 7-7:30 in the morning and as a result,will not too infrequently cause the stopped traffic behind the school bus to back up into the arterial intersection.Not exactly a safe situation to put motorists into on their way to work.If a sidewalk were to be from David Drive to the arterial,that would likely be alleviated! I feel it is only a matter of time before someone is hit and/or injured due to this paucity in a common public pathway.If someone is hit where there is not a sidewalk,is the city partially liable or is it the homeowner?If a resident has a sidewalk,it is my understanding that the homeowner would bear the brunt of any legal action for an unshoveled walkway.How about an unshoveled grassway7!Let's please make these areas safe for all of our citizens and mandate that this condition be remedied. With these concems I would like to see it brought before the council for the mandatory placement of sidewalks from Asbury Rd.and ]FK Rd.to the intersection of the Northwest Arterial and JFK.

Bob Parks, 2939 Brandywine, spoke in support of the installation of sidewalks; however, he said that a sidewalk was not as necessary along Gordon Drive as it was north of Kaufmann Avenue, especially north of Spring Valley Road to the Northwest Arterial. Lynch said that of those that spoke, he did not hear anything with respect to a need for sidewalks, but that the project was creating a hardship both financial and physical. Cline questioned why build in that area. She said she would not vote for the project and explained the process for the record. Michalski stated that she opposed the project in 1999 to place sidewalks along Gordon Drive. She was concerned with the area around Kaufmann Avenue and John F. Kennedy Road, especially north of Spring Valley Road. She requested that the City review the maintenance of sidewalks along arterials. Jones spoke about the public and private costs noting that the City does incur costs. He reiterated that this was not a "done deal," and that there is a statutory process for such a project. He admitted that he was the one responsible for bringing it to the table, but he is not supportive of it now. Braig said she would never vote for a sidewalk along Gordon Drive and making residents responsible for what is essentially a public sidewalk. She believes there is a need for more bus stops and that the City should look at more use of paths and trails. Connors thanked her colleagues for expressing the same concerns she had. Buol stated that if sidewalks were needed in the area, there would have been more people present in support of the project. Motion failed 0-7.

Kennedy {JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project Asbury Road to lowa Highway 32 (Northwest Arterial) (CIP 3501425: City-Owned Sidewalks; CIP 2501029: Stone Retaining Walls) DATE: December 10, 2007 City Engineer Gus Psihoyos recommends City Council approval of the plans, specifications, form of contract and the estimated cost of$229,329.49, and adoption of the Resolution of Necessity and the Preliminary Schedule of Assessments for the John F. Kennedy Road Sidewalk Installation Project. This assessable project consists of 4,974 lineal feet of sidewalk installation on both the east and west sides of JFK Road from Asbury Road to lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial). After the August 6, 2007 City Council meeting, the owners of Kennedy Manor Apartments complex installed 616 lineal feet of sidewalk. Also, 288 lineal feet of sidewalk has been constructed in front of the Summit Congregational Church on JFK Road. Since the August meeting, approximately 45% of the sidewalks are now installed along John F. Kennedy Road, between Asbury Road and lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial). The construction of the 904 lineal feet of sidewalk by Kennedy Manor Apartments and Summit Congregational Church amounts to 15% of the sidewalks that were remaining to be installed in this corridor prior to the August 6, 2007 City Council meeting. The estimate of probable cost for a four-foot wide sidewalk could be in the range of $25 to $28 per lineal foot if contracted by the property owner. Engineering proposes the property owners be given until June 15, 2008, to complete the work. After that date, any remaining properties will be included in an assessable project. The estimated assessable rate of such work is $35 per lineal foot. This cost would be assessed to the respective property owner. The assessment for a typical lot on Gordon Drive with 61.25 feet of frontage would be $2,143.75. A lot with 125 feet of frontage would be $4,375, One of the largest residential lots with 208-foot frontage would be assessed at $7,280. Most residential lots have between 61 and 125 feet of frontage. . � r' As part of a previous City Council directive, the City of Dubuque will not assess a property owner more than 25% of the value of the property with improvements over a cumulative ten-year period. Preliminary review indicates there will be one (1) property affected by the 25% valuation rule and the City will be responsible for incurring those costs. Financial assistance for new sidewalk installation is available for eligible owner- occupied properties and is income level and family size based. Small retaining walls and pedestrian access curb ramps will be needed to accommodate the sidewalk installation in select areas atong the corridor. It is proposed that the City of Dubuque absorb this cost. City of Dubuque Engineering Staff will work with the property owners directly on sidewalk installation requirements if they elect to construct the sidewalks on their own. A public information meeting will be scheduled to answer any questions property owners have on installation of sidewalks. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. ;2,� �� ���. Mi hael C.

Kennedy (JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project Asbury Road to Iowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial) (CIP 3501425: City-Owned Sidewalks; CIP 2501029: Stone Retaining Walls) INTRODUCTION The enclosed resolutions are in reference to the public hearing on the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project, Asbury Road to lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial). BACKGROUND During the past ten years, there have been numerous requests for sidewalks along the John F. Kennedy Road north of Asbury Road. When requests for sidewalks along John F. Kennedy Road were received in 1998 and 1999, the Engineering Department prepared improvement plans and assessments based on preliminary approval of the project by City Council. At the July 6, 1999 public hearing, the City Council rejected the project due to objections from the property owners who cited high assessment costs and lack of pedestrian usage. In preparation of the John F. Kennedy Road Reconstruction Project from Spring Valley Road to the northerly City limits in 2002, Engineering had included the installation of sidewalks with the project. At th� April 15, 2002 public hearing on the plans for that project, the City Council approved the elimination of sidewalks from the project. Since October, 2006, several requests have again been made for sidewalk on this section of John F. Kennedy Road. On May 7, 2007 the Engineering Department requested direction from the City Council on how to proceed with the instal{ation of sidewalks along John F. Kennedy Road between Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial. (Note April 27, 2007 memorandum) The property owners along Gordon Drive, whose backyards abut John F. Kennedy Road, have filed a petition in objection to the placement of sidewalks in this area. The primary issues cited are: a) Steep backyard slopes; and b) Accessibility to John �. Kennedv Road from Gordon Drive for winter weather maintenance and to utilize equipment (shovels and/or snow blowers). Un the • i. other hand, area residents and Eisenhower Elementary school staff have filed a petition with over 75 signatures in support of sidewalk installation along this corridor. On May 7, 2007, the City Council directed Engineering staff to study the feasibility of sidewalks along this corridor, especially along the backyards of Gordon Drive. On August 6, 2007, the City Council directed the Engineering Department to proceed with initiating a sidewalk replacement project along John F. Kennedy Road, from Asbury to lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial). On December 11, 2007, the Engineering Department met with the Gordon Drive residents concerning the project scope and process for City Council consideration. DISCUSSION This assessable project consists of 4,974 lineal feet of sidewalk installation on both the east and west sides of JFK Road from Asbury Road to lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial}. After the August 6, 2007 City Council meeting, the owners of Kennedy Manor Apartments complex installed 616 lineal feet of sidewalk. Also, 288 lineal feet of sidewalk has been constructed in front of the Summit Congregational Church on JFK Road. Since the August meeting, approximately 45% of the sidewalks are now installed along John F. Kennedy Road, between Asbury Road and lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial). The construction of the 904 lineal feet of sidewalk by Kennedy Manor Apartments and Summit Congregational Church amounts to 15% of the sidewalks that were remaining to be installed in this corridor prior to the August 6, 2007 City Council meeting. The estimate of probabl� cost for a four-foot wide sidewalk could be in the range of $25 to $28 per lineal foot if contracted by the property owner. Engineering proposes the property owners be given until June 15, 2008, to complete the work. After that date, any remaining properties will be included in an assessable project. The estimated assessable rate of such work is $35 per lineal foot (including minor grading and property restoration). This cost would be assessed to the respective property owner. The assessment for a typical lot on Gordon Drive with 61.25 feet of frontage would be $2,143.75. A lot with 125 feet of frontage would be $4,375. One of the largest residential lots with 208-foot frontage would be assessed at $7,280. Most residential lots have between 61 and 125 feet of frontage.

Kennedy (JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project Gordon Drive Properties DATE: December 10, 2007 INTRODUCTION The purpase of this memo is to provide information on the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project as it relates to the Gordon Drive properties. BACKGROUND At the December 3, 2007 City Council meeting the City Council adopted the Resolution of Necessity, approved the Preliminary Schedule of Assessment, established the date for the public hearing, and authorized the City Clerk to advertise for proposals for the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project between Asbury Road and the NW Arterial (IA Hwy 32). The public hearing has been set for 6:30 pm, December 17, 2007, in the City Council chambers at the Historic Federal Building. The preliminary Schedule of Special Assessments was mailed to alf impacted property owners on December 6, 2007. The mailing also included an informational sheet concerning the special assessments. (Note attachment.) DISCUSSION Several Gordon Drive property owners who would be potentially affected by the project have contacted the Engineering Department and requested that a public informational meeting be held prior to the City Council public hearing. Also these property owners have been expressed opposition to the sidewalk installation on Gordon Drive due to maintenance issues. Although there is basically no new information to share until the Council's decision, the Engineering Department will hold a public informational meeting on December 11. BUDGETIMPACT The current estimate of probable cost for the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project from Asbury Road to the NW Arterial (IA Hwy 32) is as follows: Total Pr�ject Cost Estimate Construction Contract $ 189,528.50 Contingency (10%) 18,952.85 Construction Engineering & Inspection (10%) 20,848.14 Total Project Cast $ 229,329.49 Based on the current total project cost, the following represents that portion of the Gordon Drive sidewalk installation. Proiect Cost Related to Gordon Drive Sidewalk Installation Estimate Gordon Drive Sidewalk Construction $ 44,532.87 . Contingency (10%) 4,453.29 Construction Engineering & Inspection (10%) 4,898.62 Gordon Drive Sidewalk Installation Costs 53 884.77 The funding sources for that portion of Gordon Drive sidewalk installation are as follows; Fundinq Sources for Gordon Drive Sidewalk Installation Amount Assessments for the Gordon Drive Residents $23,571.45 City Share of Gordon Drive Assessments 30,313.32 Total Funding for Gordon Drive Sidewalk Installation 53 884.77 The proposed City cost share includes any retaining wall installation, the installation of sidewalk adjacent to City-owned property, pedestrian access curb ramps and any tree removal. ACTION TO BE TAKEN As a summary, if the Gordon Drive portion is removed from the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Road Sidewalk Installation Project, $53,884.77 would be removed from the project costs, with comparable assessment savings.

Prepared by Jon Dienst, Civil Engineer cc: Jenny Larson, Budget Director Bob Schiesl, Assistant City �ngineer Jane Smith, Engineering l��sistant Tom Kopp, Engineering Technician , • THE Ci'TY C�F Dubuque �i,� DV B � ��.���� � � Masterpiece ort tl�e Mississippi , 2007 JOHN F. KENNEDY ROAD FROM ASBURY ROAD TO THE NORTHWEST ARTERIAL — SIDEWALK INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION Enclosed is your individual Preliminary Assessment for the above project. This preliminary assessment was approved at the December 3, 2007 City Council meeting. The project, its scope, design and future will be discussed at the December 17, 2007 Public Hearing with input fram citizens either in attendance or any written input received by the City Clerk no later than Wednesday noon, December 12, 2007. BACKGROUND On May 7, 2007 the City Council directed Engineering staff to study the feasibility of sidewalks along John F. Kennedy Road between Asbury and the Northwest Arterial. After City Council review of the information, initiation of the project was given and approved at the December 3, 2007 council meeting to proceed with the setting of the public hearing and approval of the Preliminary Schedule of Assessments, PROJECT SCOPE The initiated project includes 4,974 lineal feet of sidewalk installation on both the east and west sides of JFK Road from Asbury Road to lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial). Small retaining walls may be needed to accommodate the sidewalk installation in select areas along the corridor. Specifically in the area where guardrail is located on a portion of the east side of JFK Road between Asbury Road and Kaufmann Avenue and the backyard slopes of 11 properties on Gordon Drive, installing sidewalk in this area is more challenging. City staff recommends that sidewalks be placed behind the guardrail approximately two (2) feet from the curb at the elevation of the existing ground. This will avoid extensive retaining wal! construction. Engineering estimates approximately 25 feet of two-foot high retaining may be needed in this area. The remaining areas of the JFK Road corridor may require retaining walls at several locations between Marywood and Kaufmann or, in some instances, minor grading on private property to bring the proposed sidewalk to grade. It is proposed that the City of Dubuque absorb these retaining wall costs. The distance and elevation between the sidewalk and the curb will vary to avoid additional retaining walls. A bus stop currently exists adjacent to 2640 Kennedy Road. This bus stop was installed in December, 2004 to primarily serve residents that live in a group home on Marywood Drive that is operated by Hillcrest Family Services. This location currently has six (6) passengers who regularly use this stop. Based on coordination efforts with ADA (American with Disabilities Act) consultants and the City's Human Rights Director Kelly Larson, the City is required under federal ADA guidelines to install sidewalks to this location if transit service is continued. TIME TABLE The schedule for the project is as follows: Publish Public Hearing Notice on Plans, Specs, Assessments December 7, 2007 Mail Special Assessment Notice to Property Owners December 7, 2007 Publish Notice of Special Assessment: 1 st Publication: December 7, 2007 2nd Publication: December 14, 2007 Publish Notice to Bidders, Advertise for Bids December 14, 2007 Public Hearing on Plans & Specs, Spec. Assessments December 17, 2007 Receipt of Bid Proposals (Bid Letting) January 10, 2008 Award Construction Contract January 21, 2008 Property Owner Completion Deadline June 15, 2008 Project Completion Date: August 15, 2008 Property owners would have until June 15, 2008 to complete the installation and any remaining parcels after that date would be installed by the successful contractor and assessed against the abutting owner. ASSESSMENTS The estimate of probably costs for a four-foot wide sidewalk could be in the range of $25 to $28 per lineal foot if contracted by the property owner. Engineering proposes the property owners be given until June 15, 2008, to complete the work. After that date any remaining properties will be included in an assessable project. The estimated assessable rate of such work is $35 per lineal foot (including minor grading and property restoration). This cost would be assessed to the respective property owners. If property owners decide to not install and have the City perform the installation a final assessment would be developed after completion of the project. These final assessments will be equal to or less than the preliminary assessment stated. Most residential lots have between 61 and 125 feet of frontage with one of the largest lots at 208 foot. A summary of frontage and assessment ranges is below: Fronta es 30'—60' 60'—90' 90'—110' 110'— 130' 130'—400' Number of Pro erties 1 16 18 7 7 Range of Assessments $1050— $2,100- $3,150- $3,850- $4,550- $2,100 $3,150 $3,850 $4,550 $14,000 Financial assistance is available for owner occupied properties and is income/size of household based. ACTION TO BE TAKEN The City Council has set the Public Hearing for December 17, 2007 in the City Council Chambers at the Federal Building, 6th & Locust beginning at 6:30 p.m. at their regularly scheduled council meeting. At that time any citizen may address the council with their concerns regarding this project. Now that the Resolution of Necessity has been approved by City Council on December 3, 2007, petitions can be filed with the Office of City Clerk and should be submitted no later than Wednesday, December 12, 2007. If the City Council approves this project either totally or partially, a public informational meeting will be held with the affected residents. These informational meetings offer mu#ual benefit to the City and property owner to discuss the project as approved by City Council, construction design, details and standards, any unique situations a property owner may have, time table and financial assistance. As always, City Engineering is available to answer any construction and design questions but want to reiterate the scope of the project will be determined by the City Council. Minutes of previous council meetings can be seen at City of Dubuque Website under the City Clerk Department or by contacting the City Clerk, City Hall, 13th & Central, 589- 4120.

CC: <amichalski@cityofdubuque.org>, <rjones@cityofdubuque.org>, <klynch@cityofdubuque.org>, <kbraig@cityofdubuque.org>, <jconnors63@mchsi.com>, <pcline@cityofdubuqe.org>, <blynn@dbqco.org> To: Mayor Roy Buol and Dubuque City Council members From: Robert Lynn 2381 Gordon Dr, Ref: Sidewalk installation on JFK I wili not be attending the December 17th meeting where discussion will take place regarding the installation of sidewalks along JFK Rd. from Asbury Rd. to the Northwest Arterial. Please take a few minutes to read this letter so that my opinion on the matter can be heard. i reside at 2381 Gordon Dr.with my wife and 3 children and have been here since 1989. I know all my neighbors on Gordon Dr. and share their concerns with this project. I am against the installation of a sidewalk as it is not needed and will only cause a burden on those of us who live here. I want to point out a petition in favor of the project that was presented to you. This petiton was presented to parents who were attending an Eisenhower School function. One name on this petition is Kim Meyer of Gordon Dr. Kim will tell you that she signed this petiton because it was placed in front of her while she was signing other documents pertaiing to her children,that it was a hectic situation with children all about so she just signed whatever was given to her. Kim Meyer is against the sidewalk installation. Although she lives on the unaffected side af Gordon Dr., her mother lives on the affected side of Gordon Dr. and there is no way Kim whould have ever signed anything in favor of this sidewalk that would affect her mother. Kim's mother is a widowed senior citizen who lives alone. A large percentage of the other names on this petition are from parents who do not live anywhere near Eisenhower school. They documented their address's from areas around the Kelly Lanel Fremont area. How does this project affect them? Their children will never walk to or from school and only goes to prove that this petition is tainted and should b�disregarded. Let me ensure you that their are no children who walk along JFK to get to school. Those children who live in the Gordon Dr./Crissy Dr. area use the trail that runs off of Crissy Dr. Our children all attended Eisenhower and never even considered it. Traffic is hectic at the intersection of Kaufmann and JFK and is a dangerous place for any walker,with or without a sidewalk. As for the children in the Kimberly/Waller St. area, they walk along Waller to Sunset Circle and use the teacher attended crosswalk. I have heard comments that bike riders need a sidewalk to get to the new bike trail that runs along the Arterial. That is nonsense. The only people that are going to do this are experienced long distance bike riders and they will use the street, as they always do. Children and leisure riders are not going on such a ride, consider the hilly terrain. The sidewalk section running along Gordon Dr. deserves some serious consideration above all. I hope that you have all taken the time to look over the area and the demands it would put on the homeowners. If so, you are aware that is impossible to reach the sidewalk section from the backyards. That it is unreasonable to ask us to maintain such a walk in the winter nor is there any good way of doing it. Public safety is a concern, and the public in this matter is us. 1 have paid close attention to the snow plows this month and noticed that when they go down JFK the majority of the snow coming off of the blade is landing exactly where this sidewalk will be. It would be a never ending nightmare to keep the walks clean during the winter. During thP spring/summer season there are a few people who walk along this portion of JFK. Not many, tile://C:\I)ucum�nts 1nc� S�ttin�;s\jschneid\Local Settings`;['emp�XPGrpWise\�7GU1�2CI�f)... 12/13/2007 I'age 2 of 2 but some. I have naticed that most of them use the sidewalk that currently exists on the opposite side of JFK. Those that walk on the Gordon Qr. side do so because they want to. This area is always kept clean and well mowed. If they truly had a problem with walking on grass I suspect they would use the sidewalk on the other side. If I don't need something, I don't purchase it. 7hat is what is being asked of us. There is no need for a sidewalk along JFK, especially the Gordon Dr. area. Maybe somebody wants it, but there is no need for it and the cost does not justify the want. Common sense comes into play here, weigh the good vs the bad, the cost and hardship, and the fact that there is already a sidewalk behind Gordon Dr. for those who want to use it. I do hope that whoever it is that wants this project also voices his or her opinion to you because I would love to know why it is needed so badly. Sincerly Robert F.

Buol; Ric W.Jones; David T. Resnick; Brett Shaw, Luis Del Toro; Kate Larson;Jake A. Rios Cc: Kevin Firnstahl;Jolene Rettenberger Subject: February 19, 2018,City Council Meeting Action Item #1 Citizen Correspondence Requesting Sidewalk Installation on John F. Kennedy Road Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: My name is Jolene Rettenberger and I reside with my husband, Michael, for over 29 years at the address of 2291 Gordon Drive. At this time, we would like to share the opposition of the placement of sidewalks along John F. Kennedy Road. I know that this is a rather long email, but it has a lot of valuable and worthy information that we feel is very important to share with the City Council members since about half of the members are new to the City Council since this issue was first addressed back in the summer of 1999. Late morning on Friday, February 16th, 2018, I received a telephone call from one of our Gordon Drive neighbors/friends with a concern that the Sidewalk Installation on John F. Kennedy Road was back on the City Council agenda as an Action Item for Monday, February 19th. So needless to say, the communication with all of our neighbors started immediately with the sharing of information with everyone from the neighborhoods of Gordon Drive to the neighborhoods of John F. Kennedy Road/Northwest Arterial. It is my understanding that communication (WebQA) was created on February 5, 2018, by Bill and Jan Stoffel of 3384 Ashley Lane, Dubuque, expressing their concerns over placement of sidewalks along John F. Kennedy Road stretching from Asbury Road to the Northwest Arterial. As you are aware, this will be the third City Council attempt requesting sidewalk installation along John F. Kennedy Road. The first request was presented to the City Council back on Tuesday, July 6, 1999 at 7:00 pm at the Carnegie-Stout Public Library, in which there were no Yeas, and Nays from Buol, Mayor Duggan, Markham, Michalski, Nicholson, Robbins and Voetberg. Motion failed. In the July 7, 1999, issue of the Telegraph Herald written by TH Staff Writer, Jeffrey Pieters, listed under other business, the council cited the following remarks: . Declined to authorize a $141 ,566 project to extend sidewalks along the east and west sides of Kennedy Road, between Asbury Road and Spring Valley Road. . All of the property owners who would have been assessed for a portion of the costs of the sidewalk project signed a petition opposing it. . In such a case, a unanimous vote is required of the council to authorize a project, said Public Works Director Mike Koch. . The council did vote unanimously against the project. . "This is the first time, I think we've had 100°k opposition anywhere," said Council Member Dirk Voetberg. "But quite frankly, with 100°k opposition, I am real loath to say government knows best," he said. . The City Council initially had directed Koch to develop a sidewalk plan for that stretch of Kennedy Road, along with four others in April 1998. i . Council Member Roy Buol said that one of those other sidewalk projects, on Pennsylvania Avenue, had several signs indicating it was warranted, where the Kennedy Road project did not. For instance, worn paths in the grass along the road indicated heavy pedestrian traffic along Pennsylvania Avenue. Kennedy Road has no such markings, he said. Also, "I've never gotten a call on that section of Kennedy Road," Buol said. "I don't see a need for it myself." . Council Member Ann Michalski said she believed adding sidewalks actually would compromise pedestrian safety along that stretch of Kennedy Road. A guardrail between the roadway and adjacent properties would have to be shifted to accommodate the sidewalk, rendering it a less effective barrier, Michalski said. . Mayor Duggan said the argument some senior residents posed, that adding sidewalks along their properties would pose a heavy burden in terms of shoveling snow, was a valid one. To clear the accumulated plowed snow from the four-lane road, he said, residents 'would probably need a snow blower like we have at the airport.' The second request was presented to the City Council back on Monday, December 17, 2007 at 630 p.m. in the Historic Federal Building. Motion failed 0-7. See below for some of the minutes of the Public Hearing: . Petition from residents on John F. Kennedy Road from Asbury Road to lowa Hwy 32 (Northwest Arterial) in opposition to the proposed sidewalk installation project. . City Manager advising that the neighborhood meeting regarding the JFK Sidewalk Installation Project, scheduled for Tuesday, December 11 th, was canceled due to weather, however, there have been phone conversations with Gordon Drive residents. . Several neighbors spoke in opposition to the proposed project. Jolene Rettenberger at the meeting (back on July 6, 1999) stated that then Council Member Buol agreed that the sidewalk was not necessary; Council Member Joe Robbins had said that petitions were circulated and people signed them without knowing what it was about; and Council Member Ann Michalski had said she believed sidewalks would be unsafe to walk on. . Council Member Kevin Lynch said that of those that spoke, he did not hear anything with respect to a need for sidewalks, but that the project was creating a hardship both financial and physical. . Council Member Patricia Cline questioned why build in that area. She said she would not vote for the project and explained the process for the record. . Council Member Ann Michalski stated that she opposed the project in 1999 to place sidewalks along Gordon Drive. She was concerned with the area around Kaufmann Avenue and John F. Kennedy Road, especially north of Spring Valley Road. She requested that the City review the maintenance of sidewalks along arterials. . Council Member Ric Jones spoke about the public and private costs noting that the City does incur costs. He reiterated that this was not a "done deal", and that there is statutory process for such a project. He admitted that he was the one responsible for bringing it to the table, but he is not supportive of it now. . Council Member Karla Braig said she would never vote for a sidewalk along Gordon Drive and making residents responsible for what is essentially a public sidewalk. She believes there is a need for more bus stops and that the City should look at more use of paths and trails. . Council Member Joyce Connors thanked her colleagues for expressing the same concerns she had. . Mayor Roy Buol stated that if sidewalks were needed in the area, there would have been more people present in support of the project. z Please note that in-between these City Council meeting dates from 1999-2007, several articles have appeared in the Telegraph Herald over the years. For example, an article taken from the Mav 8• 2007, issue of the Telegraph Herald written by TH Staff Writer, Rob Kundert, was entitled, "Council Curbs Sidewalk Plan". This article shared that on a 4-3 vote, the council directed the City Engineering Department to look at a tough bit of terrain affecting residents on Gordon Drive, on the east side of the roadway, and to review the entire project. Mayor Roy Buol and Council Members Kevin Lynch and Pat Cline cast the no votes, possibly an indication on how they would vote on the overall project, which would likely go through a public hearing to move forward. Council Member Kevin Lynch quoted, "I have not heard a compelling argument why we need to do this. I don't think iYs necessary." Council Member Ric Jones quoted, "What we need is a safe path for citizens." A point of discussion was the projecYs effects on residents on Gordon Drive, whose property abuts the east side of Kennedy Road from Asbury Road to Kaufmann Avenue. Their lots have a steep decline before meeting the roadway at a guard rail, with little space for a walk. Council Member Karla Braig quoted, "I honestly don't know how they could keep those sidewalks cleared of ice and snow in the winter time." Council Member Ann Michalski noted the council has made such exceptions for home owners in the past, pointing out that by City code, sidewalks should have been installed as the neighborhoods developed. In the Auqust 5, 2007, issue of the Telegraph Herald written by TH Staff Writer, Rob Kundert, entitled, "Dubuque, Homeowners Reach Crosswalk", City Council members will take up the issue of building sidewalks along Kennedy Road. The discussion of the issue will be limited to the council table. The Engineering Department recommends that a public hearing be held next year after it is known how many residents had opted to do their own work, which would be necessary to design the final project to be let for bid. If the council decides to move forward, the Engineering Department then would consult with property owners. Council Member Ric Jones was quoted, "I've overwhelmingly heard from people who want the sidewalks, as well as opposition from those who have to foot the bill. Some of the people have legitimate concerns. We have to find a way around them if we can." In May, the council directed the Engineering Department to look at the feasibility of the project, especially concerning residents on Gordon Drive where backyards slope to a guardrail on Kennedy Road, creating a tight space to put a walk. It was also noted that the Gordon Drive area would require some tree trimming and the relocation of utility poles and boxes before installing the sidewalks, which will add to the cost. In the Auaust 7, 2007, issue of the Telegraph Herald written by TH Staff Writer, Rob Kundert, entitled, "City Steps Fonvard on Sidewalk Plan", it was noted that several council members voiced concerns about residents with special circumstances, especially those on Gordon Drive, whose backyards slope down to Kennedy Road and into a guardrail. Council Member Karla Braig quoted, "I've always said we can have exemptions. Other neighborhoods have gotten exemptions. Sidewalks are just a part of the price you pay for living in a community thaYs called a city." Council Member Kevin Lynch voted for the project, but questioned if sidewalks along the busy roadways really were a safety issue. He was quoted as saying, "I still have not heard anything to convince me that this is any more than a 'wanY, not a 'need'." In the December 18, 2007, issue of the Telegraph Herald written by TH Staff Writer, Mary Rae Bragg, entitled, "Kennedy Sidewalks Sideswiped", Council voted 7-0 against proceeding with the plan. It was quoted and promised by Mayor Roy Buol that hearing the residents' objections and council members' unwillingness to support the project, "If this comes back again, I'll make sure the neighbors are talked to before (city) engineers are notified." In the Julv 21 , 2010, issue of the Telegraph Herald written by TH Staff Writer, Andy Piper, entitled, "Sidewalks Lead to Controversy" (an article disputing arise over what the law requires and when 3 exceptions should be made), Council Member Kevin Lynch was quoted as saying, "The Kennedy Road situation between Asbury Road and Kaufmann Avenue, many property owners actually lived on Gordon Drive and would have had to walk down to Kaufmann Avenue and then back up Kennedy to maintain their walks. It just didn't make any sense. I'm happy with the way the system works but certainly not with the result of Monday night. IYs always a real contentious issue for some reason." In closing, Mike and I look forward to hearing from you per email or phone call at 563-542-9337 (Mike's cell) or 563-590-7114 (Jolene's cell). Please feel free to drive up/down John F. Kennedy Road to see not only vehicle traffic, but pedestrian traffic. The Rettenberger's will be in attendance at the City Council meeting on Monday, February 19th for our third City Council attempt (in opposition) requesting sidewalk installation along John F. Kennedy Road. Thank you for your time in reading our lengthy, but informational email.

As citizens of this neighborhood, we respectfully request that the City Council and the Staff of the City of Dubuque require the completion of sidewalks along and near JFK Road, between Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial. This is a safety issue, as well as a lifestyle concern. Children walk to Eisenhower school, and adults walk to the local shopping malls and stores. During inclement weather, they must walk through snow, mud, and ice. These routes are being used, because there are worn paths in the grass. Of the three Jule bus stops along JFK between Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial, two are located in sections with no sidewalks. Although accessible corners have been installed along JFK, several of them lead to areas with no sidewalks, which does not assist those who need a sidewalk surface. This initiative is consistent with the city’s focus on livable and sustainable communities. Sidewalks support the Council’s goals of promoting  health (more likely to walk if there’s sidewalks);  safety (no need to walk in the street, when the grassy area is impassible due to snow and ice);  connectivity (easier to get to area businesses by foot);  mobility (transit dependent and low-income residents have better access);  and equity (almost all other property owners have sidewalks and maintain sidewalks on their property). It is baffling to us how sidewalks have not been required and completed along this stretch of JFK, especially as the area has expanded with new housing, during the quarter century that we have lived here. The new City of Dubuque Comprehensive Plan references improvements to sidewalks as a City goal 22 times, and specifically mentions JFK sidewalks several times. We hope that this is the year that the City Councel and the Staff of the City of Dubuque move to require the completion of sidewalks in this area.

The completion of sidewalk along this area would provide safety for adults and children who need to travel this path by foot or bike. Various individuals living in that area do not have access to a vehicle and relay on walking to get to needed locations; they are being forced to walk in the street when conditions of snow, ice, mud and other obstacles prohibit them from walking in the grass along sections that have no sidewalk.

Requiring sidewalks along JFK Road is equitable for all pedestrians and property owners. All Dubuque residents deserve sidewalks in their neighborhoods to safely access bus stops, schools, parks, trails, stores, restaurants, and workplaces. Not all residents along and near JFK Road have personal transportation. Many city residents living near and around this stretch of JFK Road must walk on the street to purchase groceries, pick-up their medications or to access mass transit of which they are dependent. Two of the three bus stops along JFK Road within this stretch are in sections with no sidewalks. Residents and visitors need to safely reach the Northwest Arterial Recreational Path from this area of our city. As Dubuque is boasting and striving to have connectivity with accessibility to city amenities, the absence of safe passage on sidewalks on JFK Road is an obvious and glaring disconnect to this commitment. The attractions, businesses and neighborhoods on the north side of the NW Arterial are isolated from all Dubuque residents that wish to walk safely using JFK Road The lack of a proper pedestrian crosswalk on JFK Road at the NW Arterial is absent also. It is unfair and not equitable that some properties and not on others be required to have sidewalks. This is demonstrated on this stretch of JFK Road where only some of the residents and business properties are in compliance with having sidewalks and maintaining these year-round. If sidewalks are a required standard within the City of Dubuque; why the exception? Please consider the number of pedestrians that walk this stretch of our fine city out on the street, the option of walking in the street is unacceptable, and walking on the grass along side the road possess its own hazards. The City Council of Dubuque should demonstrate consistency to tax payers and visitors spending their dollars that wish to utilize businesses and amenities. The goal to safely access businesses, neighborhoods, public transportation and recreation throughout our city via JFK Road is just a sidewalk away.

I’ve forwarded it to the appropriate internal staff. Thank you. Kevin S. Firnstahl, City Clerk th 50 W. 13 Street Dubuque, IA 52001 kfirnsta@cityofdubuque.org 563-589-4100 Judy Hanson 563.590.2936 abd_judyhanson@yahoo.com I urge you to require that sidewalks be installed on the stretch of JFK Road between Asbury Road and the Northwest Arterial Path. These sidewalks would help to promote a healthy lifestyle for the Dubuque residents. According to Health by Design, a coalition in Indiana, sidewalks create health benefits. Sidewalks provide opportunities for walking and studies have shown that people with access to sidewalks are more likely to walk and meet recommendations for physical activity. Physical activity would help to decrease incidence of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and certain cancers. Dubuque has a excellent Northwest Arterial Path and a lovely Arboretum but it is difficult to reach them without sidewalks on JFK Road. Have you ever tried to push a stroller or ride a bike on grass? You have two choices, walk on the grass or walk in the street. Due to the amount of traffic on JFK Road, I would not recommend walking in the street for safety reasons. Dubuque advertises that our town is a healthy town to live in, so let's help to keep our pedestrians moving on the west side and give them sidewalks to walk on. (Source: http://www. healthbydesignonline.org/documents/ HbDFSSidewalks.pdf.) Thank you for your consideration. Judy Hanson 1 Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork Mayor Roy D. Buol, City of Dubuque 50 W 13th St Dubuque IA 52001 April 30, 2018 Honorable Mayor Buol, The Resilient Community Advisory Commission submits this letter in support of sidewalk installation to complete a pedestrian-friendly path that can be used for walking and biking along JFK Road. At their March and April regular meetings, the Resiliency Commission reviewed the materials from the February 19, 2018 City Council meeting regarding sidewalks on JFK. Commissioners reviewed the STAR Community Rating system, the Imagine Dubuque comprehensive plan, and our strategic priorities that were developed in July of 2017. Staff also provided a map of current sidewalk locations on JFK, and the City Code governing sidewalks. After review of these materials, the Commission advises that the City Council develop a requirement to complete missing sections of JFK Road for the following reasons: 1. From the STAR Community rating, the rating system that the City uses to identify benchmarks and best practices related to sustainable communities: a. The Built Environment objective provides guidance of development Compact & Complete Communities: “Concentrate development in compact, human-scaled, walkable centers and neighborhoods that connect to public transit, offer diverse uses and services, and provide housing options for families of all income levels.” Dubuque measures neighborhoods against the Walkability standard, which requires that 90% of roadway length contains sidewalks on both sides or connection pathways and 100% of crosswalks are ADA accessible. b. Additional credit is available for actions that emphasize expansion of sidewalk networks to improve pedestrian amenities, active lifestyles, and walkability and increase intersection density, or the number of publicly-accessible sidewalk or street intersections per square mile. 2. From the Imagine Dubuque Comprehensive Plan: When it comes to mobility, residents most want enhanced off-street trail network and connectivity, improved on-road bike lanes, and enhanced walkability via connectivity and crosswalks (p 8-3). The plan further recommends implementation of a Complete Streets Policy adopted in 2011. The JFK Road Corridor is specifically studied on p 8-9. 3. In our 2017-18 strategic priorities, the Resilient Community Advisory Commission recommended the following: a. The RCAC recommends City Council identify policies that can create a built environment where residents can make healthy choices. b. The RCAC recommends City Council utilize an equity lens to ensure that all residents have access to healthy natural and built environments and health services (low income housing units access to trail). Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork The Commission, by a vote of 8-1, advocates that the City Council consider policies to complete sidewalks on JFK Road and in other gaps in the community. We recognize that there is a potential cost to the residents whose properties are impacted, but the positive impact to the community is more beneficial. We recognize that completion of the sidewalk network is important in connecting the surrounding residential networks to the Northwest Arterial Trail, and also has equity implications for low-income and transit-dependent residents who live in the neighborhood. Sincerely, Leah Specht Resilient Community Advisory Commission Chair Kevin Firnstahl From:Citizen Support Center <dubuqueia@mycusthelp.net> Sent:Saturday, May 05, 2018 7:30 AM To:Kevin Firnstahl Subject:"Contact Us" inquiry from City of Dubuque website Contact Us Name: Gail & Gary Cording Address: 3210 SPRING VALLEY RD Ward: 2 Phone: 563-590-0996 Email: g_cording@hotmail.com City Department: City Council Message: We recently signed a petition encouraging the city to consider the sidewalk situation on JFK. We live on Spring Valley Road and are "walkers". We walk to both Fareway and HyVee, we walk to various coffee shops and restaurants, and we walk just for pleasure. No matter what direction we go, there are sections of JFK which require us to walk on either the grass or the street, neither of which is particularly safe or comfortable. We understand that property owners are hesitant to add sidewalks (due to the expense and snow removal) and encourage the city to assist those property owners with the initial installation costs. We empathize with the snow removal argument because we, too, must take on that task...but if the city could assist with the installation, perhaps the property owners wouldn't be so hesitant to take on the snow removal that the majority of homeowners in Dubuque are required to do. And, any future developers should be required to install sidewalks during the construction/development phase to avoid similar issues in the future. Click here to report this email as spam. 1
