RE: BUILD grant Application to U.S. Department of Transportation
Backqround
The City of Dubuque pursues alternative revenue sources to relieve local property tax
burden, provide funding for City Council priorities, enhance economic development and
workforce development opportunities and provide for the common good. The City
consistently applies for federal transportation grants for local projects. This year, the US
Department of Transportation's Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development
(BUILD) grant opportunity replaces the pre-existing Transportation Investment
Generating Economic Recovery(TIGER) grant program. The BUILD grant program seeks
to invest in surface transportation infrastructure and will be awarded on a competitive
basis for projects that will have a significant local or regional impact. The USDOT BUILD
grant program supports roads, bridges, transit, rail and other transportation projects.
These perimeters provided the City with the opportunity to seek funding for the City
Council priority project —the EastMlest Corridor.
Discussion
The City of Dubuque, lowa, is submitting a grant request for $9.6 million in U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage
Development (BUILD)funding for a $18.1 million multimodal project that will help improve
access within the EasUWest Corridor to support growing traffic demands; address transit,
bicycle, and pedestrian needs; and enhance sustainability, investment, and reinvestment.
The project has two main components:
Description of the BUILD Improvements Estimated Costs
Installation of three Roundabouts on $13,200,000
University Avenue at the non-signalized
intersections of Pennsylvania Avenue,
Asbur Road and Loras Boulevard
Implementation of innovative traffic control $4,900,000
strategies at signalized intersections in the
EastMlest Corridor area
Total BUILD Pro'ect Im rovements $18,100,000
The U.S. 20 corridor in Dubuque is the primary east-west route in the city. Traffic
projections indicate that U.S. 20 alone will not provide sufficient capacity for east-west
travel across Dubuque. Capacity along alternate east-west corridors must be improved
to provide connectivity between the western growth areas and downtown. In 2010,
Dubuque completed the EastM/est Corridor Connectivity Study, which analyzed east-
west traffic flow on alternate routes and identified improvements or modifications needed
to support growing traffic demands. The four identified routes are Asbury Road,
Pennsylvania Avenue, University Avenue, and Loras Boulevard. The City Council
adopted the EastM/est Corridor Connectivity Study in 2012.
Dubuque is underway with significant efforts to boost manufacturing, promote commercial
development, and create jobs on the city's west side as well as in the downtown on the
east side. Capacity along alternate east-west routes must be improved to provide
connectivity between these areas. Poor intersections, unsafe conditions, and limited bike/
pedestrian accommodations along the EastM/est Corridor separate
economic/employment clusters from Dubuque's residents.
The City seeks BUILD funds to connect the west side commercial and industrial areas to
downtown employment and services on Dubuque's east side with the addition of three
roundabouts along University Avenue. BUILD funding will help Dubuque link residential
neighborhoods to jobs and the bike/hike trail network.
Dubuque will also integrate a smart, next-generation traffic management and control
system on the corridor to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability. The innovative Smart
Traffic Routing with Efficient and Effective Traffic System (STREETS) will use traffic
control strategies to enable dynamic traffic routing to maximize the use of existing
roadway capacities in the Dubuque metro area. The proposed system will reduce
congestion, shorten travel times, decrease wear and tear on major corridors, and improve
safety. STREETS is one-of-a-kind and will become a replicable model for small urban
areas with populations under 100,000.
Recommendation
I respectfully request City Council approval for the USDOT Build grant application.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Dubuque, Iowa, requests $9.6 million in U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) funding for a $18.1 million
multimodal projectthat will help improve access within the EasUWest Corridor to support growing
traffic demands; address transit, bicycle, and pedestrian needs; and enhance sustainability,

The U.S. 20 corridor in Dubuque is the primary east-west route in the city (see Figure 1). Traffic
projections indicate that U.S. 20 alone will not provide sufficient capacity for east-west travel
across Dubuque. Capacity along alternate east-west corridors must be improved to provide
connectivity between the western growth areas and downtown. In 2010, Dubuque completed the
East/West Corridor Connecrivity Study, which analyzed east-west traffic flow on alternate routes

on the corridor to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability. The innovative Smart Traffic Routing
with Efficient and Effective Traffic System(STREETS)will use traffic control strategies to enable
dynamic traffic routing to maximize the use of existing roadway capacities in the Dubuque metro
area. The proposed system will reduce congestion, shorten travel times, decrease wear and tear on
major corridors, and improve safety. STREETS is one-of-a-kind and will become a replicable
model for small urban areas with populations under 100,000.
Revitalization ofthe EasUWestCorridormeets all ofDOT's BUILD criteria. The Dubuque BUILD
project aligns with the Trump Administration's goals to improve infrastructure condition, address
public health and safety, promote connectivity, and facilitate competitiveness. The project will
improve safety by reducing conflicts on the EasUWest Corridor with roundabouts and creating
pedestrian and biking accommodations where they do not currently exist. Proposed improvements
align with DOT"State of Good Repair"goals by prioritizing investment in existing infrastructure.
Economic development in Dubuque is dependent on the proposed transportation measures.
Transportation enhancements will promote environmental sustainability by encouraging
alternative travel modes, reducing fuel consumption, curbing emissions, and decreasing
stormwater runoff. Upgrades on the EasUWest Corridor and the construction of bike/pedestrian
accommodations will contribute to quality of life in the distressed neighborhoods of Census Tracts
1, 7.01, 7.02, 9, 11.01, and 12.01. The project demonstrates innovation through its sustainable
design, incorporation of green infrastructure, integration with the City's Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS), and adoption of the STREETS technology. BUILD funding will also leverage
significant public and private sector supportfrom community partners, includingthe State of Iowa,
East Central Intergovernmental Association, Jule transit system, Greater Dubuque Development
Corporation, Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce, Dubuque Main Street, and local developers.
Dubuque demonstrates project readiness. National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA) compliance
and other regulatory approvals will be achieved by August 1, 2019. Final design and engineering
will be completed by November 1, 2019. Property acquisition will be completed by January 1,
2020. BUILD funds will easily be obligated by DOT's September 30, 2020 deadline.
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Dubuque (population 58,276) is underway with an ambitious effort to improve mobility on its
EasUWest Corridor based on safety and operational benefits.i The BUILD project includes
construction of three roundabouts along University Avenue at the non-signalized intersections of
Pennsylvania Avenue, Asbury Road, and Loras Boulevard. The project also includes installation
of the innovative STREETS traffic control technology at signalized intersections.
The proposed BUILD improvements will:
• greatly increase safety on the EasUWest Corridor study area;
• help to improve pedestrian, bicycling, vehicular, and transit access in the corridor;
• provide connections between the west side industrial parks and commercial centers with
the downtown business district and riverfront areas on the east side; and
• facilitate the movement of goods, services, employees, and residents through the corridor.

Dubuque's Transportation Challenges
U.S. 20 in Dubuque is the primary east-west route through the city (see Figure 2). Future traffic
projections indicate that U.S. 20 alone will not provide sufficient capacity for east-west travel.
Capacity along alternate east-west corridors (Asbury Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, University
Avenue, and Loras Boulevard) will need to be improved to provide connectivity between the
western growth areas and the downtown.
The EasUWest Corridor was not designed far the expansive economic development that has and
will continue to occur. Traffic will not be able to flow freely across multiple east-west connecting
streets with their multiple congested intersections. The routes are particularly challenging for
pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as senior citizens and disabled residents, with limited sidewalks
and no bike accommodations.
A corridor screening analysis was conducted for the East/West Connecrivity Study to test
transportation improvement
alternatives and determine their � .
impact on travel patterns in the � '
Dubuque metropolitan area. A key ' � � �;. ,,�, ,
evaluation criterion of the corridor �j� ���_ .. �V �;-''��a � ,
screening was the traffic volume � , �F �,., �- �'-�„_ _

forecasts for year 2031 from the ��d��� y�
East Central Intergovernmental Fr .��� �`�
Association travel demand modeL � ."
Evaluation of various capacity ��
improvement scenarios helped
identify which improvements �� � ��
would be studied in further detail.
Twenty-two scenarios were r igure 2. Traffic delays on U.S. 20
evaluated and then narrowed down
to four study corridors: Asbury
Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, University Avenue, and Loras Boulevard.
Existing conditions of the four study corridors were reviewed to identify roadway cross sections
including number of driving lanes, on-street parking, and adjacent sidewalks. This information
was used to determine locations that may be available for capacity improvements. The existing
conditions base scenario used was year 2005. The alternatives were tested using the volume
forecasts for future base scenario of year 2031 from the travel demand model.
Level of service (LOS) categories range from A(best)to F (worst). Far this study, LOS C for the
overall intersection was used as the minimum standard for acceptable operations. Delay and the
maximum queue lengths were also reviewed far the study intersections. All intersections currently
operate at LOS C or better except at the following locations:
3lPage
PM Peak
• Asbury Road/JFK Road (LOS D)
• University Avenue/Asbury Road (LOS D)
The majority of queue lengths at the study area intersections were minor (less than 10 vehicles in
length). Queues in excess of 15 vehicles were recorded atthe following locations:
AM Peak
• Eastbound and westbound approaches of Asbury Road/JFK Road
• Eastbound approach of Asbury Road/Carter Road
• Westbound approach of Pennsylvania Avenue/Hempstead High School Drive
• Eastbound and westbound approaches of Pennsylvania Avenue/JFK Road
• Eastbound approach of Pennsylvania of University Avenue
• Southbound approach of University Avenue/Asbury Road
PM Peak
• Westbound approach of Asbury Road/Radford Road
• Eastbound, westbound, and northbound approaches of Asbury Road/JFK Road
• Eastbound approach of Asbury Road/Carter Road
• Eastbound approach of Asbury Road/Chaney Road
• Westbound approach of Pennsylvania Avenue/Hempstead High School Drive
• Eastbound and westbound approaches of Pennsylvania Avenue/JFK Road
• Eastbound approach of Pennsylvania Avenue/iJniversity Avenue
• Southbound approach of University Avenue/Asbury Road
Year 2031 daily and peak hour traffic volume forecasts were developed in close coordination with
the metropolitan planning association. The volume development methodology included utilization
of the 2005 and 2031 travel demand model assignments, 2005 count data, 2008 peak hour data,
and engineering judgment. A No Build analysis was conducted to determine the traffic impact in
2031. Based on an operational analysis,the following locations would operate outside of the LOS
C criteria under 2031 No-Build conditions:
AM Peak
• University Avenue/Asbury Road (LOS F)
PM Peak
• Asbury Road/Springreen Drive (LOS D)
• Asbury Road/Radford Road (LOS F)
• Asbury Road/JFK Road (LOS D)
• Asbury Road/Hillcrest Road (LOS D)
• Asbury Road/Clarke Drive (LOS F)
• Asbury Road/Poplar Street(LOS F)
• Asbury Road/St. Ambrose Street(LOS D)
• Pennsylvania Avenue/JFK Road (LOS D)
• University Avenue/Asbury Road (LOS F)
• University Avenue/Loras Boulevard (LOS F)
4lPage
• University Avenue/McCormick Street(LOS D)
• University Avenue/Delhi Street(LOS D)
Study analysis showed that there would be excessive queuing at the University Avenue/Asbury
Road intersection causing traffic to spill back to adjacent intersections, resulting in excessive
delays. Additionally, long queues would occur at most of the study area intersections.
Progress to Date
The adopted East/West Corridor Connecrivity Study acts as the City's Master Plan for both short-
and long-term capacity improvements to support growing east-west traffic flow. The report
included 32 proposed capacity improvement projects along four corridors. Capacity improvements
include a series of intersection improvements, realignments, turn lane additions, additional traffic
signal interconnection, and ITS upgrades along each corridor.
Specifically, the East/West Corridor Connecrivity Study provides conceptual plans to:
• Better manage traffic on the East/West Corridor by constructing three roundabouts on
University Avenue at Asbury Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, and Loras Boulevard to
improve vehicle flow, increase safety, and consider Complete Streets design in
accommodating all roadway users. This concept stresses the provision of safe access for
motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. Besides safety, other improvements to
the visual and physical environment of the roadway can provide additional health and
economic benefits to users.
• Enhance pedestrian accommodation at several locations along the study corridors. Six
pedestrian accommodation enhancements have been identified for potential
implementation at these locations:
o high visibility pavement markings and signs
o raised medians
o colored concrete sidewalks
o raised pedestrian crosswalk
o internally illuminated LED crossings with photoelectric bollards
o LED rectangular rapid flashing amber beacons.
The City has already completed or begun improvements:

Dubuque's BUILD Solution
Based on the input provided by the Dubuque City Council, an overall 2031 design concept was
developed for each of the four study corridors (Asbury Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, University
Avenue, and Loras Boulevard). The goals of the concepts were to provide operational and safety

Dubuque's BUILD project also includes the installation of innovative STREETS technology at
signalized intersections in the East/West Corridor. This neat-generation traffic management and
control system will use cameras, detection loops, and radar to reroute traffic onto roads with eatra
capacities dynamically. This will allow drivers to avoid potential conflict areas.
The City demonstrates project readiness for the EasUWest Corridor. NEPA compliance and other
regulatory approvals will be achieved by August 1, 2019. Final design and engineering will be
completed by November 1, 2019. Property acquisition will be completed by January 1, 2020.
BUILD funds will easily be obligated by USDOT's September 30, 2020 deadline.
Expected Users
The EasUWest Corridor project directly supports low-income residents living downtown. The
proposed BUILD improvements will benefit many populations, including:
• Residents who are either unemployed or underemployed will benefit from increased
economic development along the EasUWest Corridor;
• Economically-distressed residents who do not own a vehicle and depend upon safe streets
and sidewalks, as well as bike lanes,to travel within the community;
• Jule bus transit users with poor access to bus facilities (see Figure 4);
• Millennials who opt not own a car;
• Senior citizens and disabled residents who cannot travel the EasUWest Corridor; and
• Developers and business advocates who demand transportation improvements along the
EasUWest Corridor.
Project Outcomes
DOT Secretary Elaine Chao has placed an emphasis on using federal transportation investment as
a tool to help small communities "improve infrastructure condition, address public health and
safety, promote regional connectivity, or facilitate economic growth or competitiveness." The
City's proposed transportation project will repair a broken corridor, stimulate economic
development, help residents improve the quality of their lives, and create pathways to expand the
region's middle class. BUILD investment will produce a variety of desired outcomes:
• Increased Transportation Choices: BUILD funding will enable Dubuque to reduce vehicle
miles traveled(VM�and increase the number of commuters who bike,walk, or use transit
to work and play.
• Safer Streets & Sidewalks: Roundabouts, sidewalks, bike lanes, and sharrows will help
reduce accidents, making

• Healthier Communitv: Providing opportunities for increased walking and biking, as well
as reducing environmental pollution,will help Dubuque to become a healthier community.
Local, Regional, & National5ignificance
The project is of local, regional, and national importance. Locally, the project will help the City
revitalize struggling neighborhoods. The project complements efforts in Dubuque to focus
investment in several key areas. BUILD investment will strengthen economic opportunity along
the EasUWest Corridor and provide better transportation access for all residents, especially low-
income households. Developers are interested in reclaiming vacant buildings and sites in the area.
Transportation investment in the corridor supports these planning efforts and will promote further
revitalization in these parts of the city.
Regionally, Dubuque is an employment center for the tri-state region of Iowa, Rlinois, and
Wisconsin. The EasUWest Corridor serves commercial development that bookend the targeted
route. However, poor access to these job locations threatens Dubuque's economic viability.
BUILD investment will support the Dubuque area as it grows needed jobs.
The project will also have significant national implications. Dubuque is recognized as a leader
among small cities. Local government delegations from across the world travel to Dubuque to
figure out the city's recipe for success. One of the key ingredients is world-class transportation
infrastructure. Complete Streets in the Historic Millwork District and the new Intermodal Transit
Center supported with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Bus Facilities funding have
revolutionized Dubuque's ability to harness smart economic development. The City has also
emerged as a trailblazer in smart transportation technologies. The City is developing STREETS,
an automatic transportation management system that monitors traffic operations and intervenes as
necessary. The proposed BUILD investments will add to this story and serve as a municipal model
for effective transportation and land use policy.

II. PROJECT LOCATION
Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, Dubuque is Iowa's oldest city. Dubuque was
established as a fur-trading post and mining community, and later flourished as a manufacturing
hub. Manufacturing reigned in Dubuque until the mid-1900s. As Dubuque's retail and industrial
sectors moved to the western suburbs or fled completely, the downtown deteriorated and fell into
disrepair. With the collapse of the farm economy in the 1980s, the community watched as
numerous businesses closed up shop, and then as John Deere Dubuque Warks —then the area's
largest employer—reduced its workforce by three-quarters of its peak.
Dubuque has reinvented itsel£ After decades of population and job loss, the city is rebounding.
Over the last 100 years, Dubuque has seen its economy shift from chiefly manufacturing to the
tourism, publishing, education, health care, and financial service sectors. Dubuque now serves as
the employment center for the tri-state region of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Money magazine
recently rated Dubuque as one of the best places to live in America and Forbes ranked the
community as one of the best small cities for businesses and careers.�•3
Dubuque is a compact, dense community with 24,050 households, 14,265 families, and 1,923.3
people per square mile.4•s The city has a minority population of 8.9%. Approximately 23% of
Dubuque's population are millennials (20 to 34) and 16.9% of residents are 65 or over. A large
proportion of the city's elderly population suffers with a disability (34.6%). Between 2012 and
2016, the median household income in Dubuque was $48,021 (compared to $54,570 in Iowa and
$55,322 nationally) and 16.8% of residents lived below the poverty line (compared to 12.3%

Upgrades on the EasUWest Corridor will contribute to quality of life in the distressed
neighborhoods of Census Tracts 1, 7.01, 7.02, 9, 11.01, and 12.01. Census Tract 1, 7.01, 7.02, and
11.01 have significant minority populations (34.5%, 13.3%, 13.2%, and 12.3%, respectively).
Precisely 31.0% of Census Tract 1, 40.1% of Census Tract 7.01, 32.6% of Census Tract 7.02,
25.4% of Census Tract 9, and 23.6% of Census Tract 12.01 are millennials. Approximately 19%
of Census Tract 11.01 and 25.9% of Census Tract 12.01 residents are 65 years or over. Exactly
16% of Census Tract 1 and 19.1% of Census Tract 12.01 persons are disabled. The median
household income is $24,418 in Census Tract 1, $43,478 in Census Tract 7.01, $47,683 in Census
Tract 7.02, and $44,310 in Census Tract 12.01, significantly below national, state, and local levels.
Approximately 37% of residents in Census Tract 1 and 42.8% of people in Census Tract 7.01 live
in poverty. Over 30% of the population in Census Tract 1 receive Food Stamps and Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, compared to 13.0% nationally. Approximately
27% of occupied housing units in Census Tract 1 do not own a vehicle.�
Alternative transportation options are particularly important to millennials, low-income residents,
and people who do not own vehicles in Dubuque. Public transportation is favored by 5.0% of
Census Tract 1 and 3.3% of Census Tract 12.01 residents. More than 22% of Census Tract 1,

addition, 5.4% of Census Tract 1 persons bike to work8 Maintaining an efficient transportation
system with reliable buses, safe streets,bike lanes, and sidewalks is imperative.
The project area is located in midtown Dubuque. The three roundabouts along the East/West
Corridor will be constructed on University Avenue at the non-signalized intersections of
Pennsylvania Avenue, Asbury Road, and Loras Boulevard (see Figures 7 and 8). The City is
located in the Dubuque Urbanized Area with a population of 67,818 (one of the smallest regions
that DOT considers urban by BUII,D standards).9

IV. MERIT CRITERIA
A. Safety
A key goal of Dubuque's proposed BUILD project is to ensure the safety of all citizens utilizing
the EasUWest Corridor. There are currently significant points of conflict between cars and people
along Asbury Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, University Avenue, Loras Boulevard, and their
intersecting streets. Limited sidewalks and no bike lanes also endanger area pedestrians and
bicyclists. The City seeks to reduce congestion, decrease accidents, and improve pedestrian and
bicycle accommodations along these arterials.
Traffic studies have reported volumes of 145,000 vehicles per day along arterials in the EasUWest
Corridor. Congestion occurs in the morning and late afternoon hours. The current road is not
adequately designed to meet the needs of vehicular, bicyclist, pedestrian, and transit users.
14IPage
Asbury Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, University Avenue, and Loras Boulevard already have some
of the highest rates of crashes in the Dubuque area. In the years 2013 to 2017, 1,228 accidents
were reported along EasUWest Corridor streets with 1,196 injuries and 6 deaths. The majority of
these accidents were right-angle, left-turn, and head-on collisions, with an increasing number of
conflicts with bicyclists. New commercial and industrial development within the South Port area
and Kerper Boulevard economic cluster on the east side and atthe Dubuque Industrial Center West
business park at the west end of the corridor will bring more traffic and conflicts without the
proposed BUILD improvements. These unsafe conditions would make the EasUWest Corridor one
of the most dangerous routes in the entire region.
The project will help the City achieve significant safety benefits by avoiding surface
transportation-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Key project safety features include:
• Three 150-foot inscribed diameter roundabouts will be constructed on University Avenue
at the intersections of Pennsylvania Avenue, Asbury Road, and Loras Boulevard. Studies
have shown that roundabouts are safer than traditional stop signs or signal-controlled
intersections. The tight circle of a roundabout forces drivers to slow down, and the most
severe types of intersection crashes — right-angle, left-turn, and head-on collisions — are
unlikely. Roundabouts reduced injury crashes by 88% at intersections where stop-sign
controlled intersections are replaced by roundabouts, according to the Crash Modification
Factor Clearinghouse.10 Roundabouts are also generally safer for pedestrians. Pedestrians
walk on sidewalks around the perimeter and cross only one direction of traffic at a time.
Crossing distances are relatively short and traffic speeds are lower(15 to 25 miles per hour
circulating speed and 15 miles per hour approach speed) than at traditional intersections.
Slower speeds in the roundabout allow vehicles to easily yield to pedestrians crossing or
waiting to cross. A driveway north of the Loras Boulevard roundabout will be closed to
improve pedestrian safety. Enhanced pedestrian accommodations (including crossing
guards) will also be integrated for the Pennsylvania Avenue roundabout, given its
proximity to the Irving Elementary School.
• Dubuque will deploy the innovative Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient and Effective
Traffic Signals (STREETS)system to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability. This neat-
generation trafFic management and control system will use cameras, detection loops, and
radar to dynamically reroute traffic onto roads with eatra capacities. This will allow drivers
to avoid potential conflict areas. The STREETS project will use traffic control strategies
recommended through Systems Engineering to enable dynamic traffic routing on nine
corridors (57 signalized intersections)to maximize the use of existing roadway capacities
in the Dubuque metro area and reduce delay and improve safety on all major corridors. The
City could dispatch personnel or alert local emergency services and public works agencies
to address issues before an incident occurs. The STREETS projectwill also allow City and
Iowa Department of Transportation staff to coordinate with local law enforcement in real-
time during incidents.
The proposed improvements will help Dubuque shift traffic modes from personal vehicles to even
greater walking, biking, and transit activity. The existing conditions create unsafe conditions for
bikers and pedestrians.
'o Crash Modification Factor Clearinghouse: http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org/detail.cfm?facid=210
15IPage
The Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA), prepared by the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation
Study, shows that BUILD investment will generate significant safety cost savings from reduced
crashes. Crashes are often eatremely costly in terms of loss of life, productivity due to injury, and
vehicle or other property damage. The value of reduced crashes in 2020 would be approximately
$6.6 million. However, the value of reduced crashes in 2045 is estimated to be $6.6 million as the
value is kept constant for the life of the project. When discounted over 25 years (at 7%), this
amounts to $66.3 million in benefits. Table 1 provides the impact of safety with East/W est Corridor
improvements. See attached BCA for methodology and assumptions.

B. State of Good Repair
BUILD investment supports existing infrastructure on the EasUWest Corridor. U.S. 20 and the
targeted arterial streets were not designed for the expansive economic development occurring on
the bookends of the corridor. Traffic will not be able to flow freely on the thoroughfare with
multiple congested intersections. The route is particularly challengingto pedestrians and bicyclists,
as well as senior citizens and disabled residents, with few sidewalks or no bike accommodations.
The project is in complete alignment with DOT's "fix it firsY' approach.
U.S. 20 is the primary east-west route in Dubuque. The Iowa Department of Transportation is very
supportive of the proj ect as traffic is a nightmare on U.S. 20. Traffic projections show that U.S. 20
alone will not provide sufficient capacity for east-west travel. No capacity improvements have
been planned for U.S. 20 over the neat five years as well. As congestion on U.S. 20 must be
addressed, the proposed EasUWest Corridor improvements on Asbury Road, Pennsylvania
Avenue, University Avenue, and Loras Boulevard will workto shift automobile traffic to alternate
routes.
The conditions on local East/West Corridor streets have not been modified in decades. That
disinvestment threatens planned economic development efforts. On the east end of the corridor,
several major employment clusters will pull workers from the west—the 43-acre Historic Millwark
District is a former industrial warehouse area that is being redeveloped(with 2009 TIGER funds),
with plans for over 1,000 new residents and more than 1,000 new employees; large vacant and
underutilized buildings within the 229-acre Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park are targeted for
reuse; a 40-acre regional retail shopping center is slated at the former Dubuque Packing Company
plant site; the Q Casino is planning a major expansion on Chaplain Schmitt Island, which will be
redeveloped as a destination with new retail, restaurants, entertainment facilities, and recreational
amenities; and the 33-acre South Port along the Mississippi River is planned for mixed, transit-
oriented development. On the east end of the corridor, plans are underway to restore several
warehouse properties and create 400 new jobs. The Dubuque Industrial Center West business park
also attracts cross-town traffic from the east. If left unimproved, the poor condition of the
EasUWest Corridor assets will threaten the efficiency of Dubuque's transportation network and
constrict the mobility of people to key employment centers. The proposed project will improve the
conditions of existing East/West Corridor facilities and infrastructure.
16IPage
The East/West Corridor currently serves pedestrian, bike, transit, and personal vehicle traffic at
varying levels of service. The proposed improvements will help move traffic efficiently on the
EasUWest Corridor, and minimize wear and tear of all roadways. Project elements include three
roundabouts, approaches, sidewalks, and bike lanes. These improvements will provide better
functionality and help the City save money by matching the needs of the roadway with its actual
design. Proposed upgrades invest in existing infrastructure, help to minimize deterioration of the
roadways, and eatend the life cycle of the Jule transit system's rolling stock investments.
Specifically, BUILD improvements will support a state of good repair in the following ways:
• Roundabouts offer improved long-term maintenance costs compared to signalized
intersections and typically cost less over time. Roundabouts eliminate hardware,
maintenance, and electrical costs associated with trafFic signals, which can cost between
$5,000 and $10,000 per year. Because roundabouts can handle greater volumes of traffic
more efficiently than signals, roundabouts also typically require fewer lanes approaching
an intersection.ii
• Dubuque will integrate innovative traffic control technologies on the EasUWest Corridor
to support day-to-day and long-term asset management. Using cameras, detection loops,
and radar, the Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient and Effective Traffic Signals
(STREETS) system will collect data such as intersection delays, travel speeds, and trafFic
volumes. This information will allow Dubuque to make adjustments to the system if
performance measures are not met. These smart technologies support more equalized
utilization of available infrastructure, as well as help the City to identify future projects
that will improve safety and reduce congestion in the metro area. Rerouting traffic on roads
with eatra capacity makes the entire system more efficient and will ea�tend the life of the
transportation network.
The East/West Corridor project is consistent with existing local and regional plans to maintain
transportation facilities and systems in a state of good repair. BUILD funding will complement
robust planning efforts, including the East/West Corridor Connectivity Study prepared in
partnership with the City of Asbury and STREETS Systems Engineering Study conducted with the
Iowa Department of Transportation (see attached). A corridor screening analysis tested
transportation improvement alternatives to determine their impact on travel patterns in the
Dubuque metropolitan area. A key evaluation criterion of the corridor screening was traffic volume
diversion potential from U.S. 20 to other major corridors. Nine corridor improvements were
evaluated. The proposed BUILD project seeks to implement key recommended actions.
Mode shifts from single-occupancy vehicles to walking, biking, and transit are key to Dubuque's
economic future. According to the BCA, the project will reduce VMT by 5 million miles between
2019 and 2045.
The project is appropriately capitalized up front. Dubuque has considered how the project's long-
term operations and maintenance costs will be met. Economic growth alongthe corridor will create
significant additional fees and tax revenues that can offset costs associated with maintaining the
EasUWest Corridor infrastructure. Improvements will also increase Jule bus ridership and
" https://www.wsdot.wa.aov/Safetv/roundabouts/benefits.htm
17IPage
associated fares and create efficiencies that will save money.
The East/West Corridor was last maintained in 2005 and is scheduled for maintenance
approximately every 15 years, with the neat maintenance effort scheduled for 2025 (the following
date would be 2040). Given that the project includes ea�tensive roadway rehabilitation and
streetscaping (reflected in the costs), this maintenance can be deferred until 2037 (15 years after
project completion). When discounted over 25 years (at 7% rate), this deferred maintenance
provides a modest benefit of$1.2 million.

C. Economic Competitiveness
The East/West Corridor supports Dubuque's economic future. The City has invested significant
resources to grow businesses and jobs in the eastern and western reaches ofthe community. Several
areas are key to Dubuque's economic vitality — the Historic Millwark District, the Kerper
Boulevard Industrial Park, Chaplain Schmitt Island, the planned Riverview Plaza Shopping
Center, South Port, and the Dubuque Industrial Center West.
The Historic Millwork District, a 43-acre abandoned industrial area, contains over 1 million square
feet of warehouse space. EasUWest Corridor improvements will bring Western Dubuque residents
to this emerging employment center. Once the nation's largest millwork district,the neighborhood
had declined for decades. Dubuque is underway with an ambitious effort (supported with 2009
TIGER funds)to reclaim the Historic Millwork District as a regional engine of growth, with plans
for over 1,000 new residents and more than 1,000 new employees. More than $150 million has
been leveraged locally in private sector investment based on the TIGER funding. Dubuque was
also recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2013 with a National
Award for Smart Growth Achievement for the Historic Millwork DistricYs turnaround.
Operating since the 1950s,the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park is poised for expansion. The 229-
acre site is home to a number of existing tenants, including Georgia Pacific, Hirschbach
Transportation, Drive Line, Union-Hoermann Press, Rainbow Oil, Van Meter Inc.,
Anderson/Eagle Window and Door Inc., Key City Plating,United Parcel Service, Rousselot, Black
Rock Fabrication, Home Technology Systems, B&F Fastener Supply, Anova Pallet, Innocor Inc.,

Resources, Quanex, Brightwood Corporation, Advantage Sheet Metal, Inc., Thompson Truck &
Trailer, AG Trucking, Energetics, Automotive & Industrial Hardware, Weitz Sign Systems, Coca-
Cola Bottling Inc., Bel-Aire Rental, Matthews Distributing, Drive Line of Dubuque, Hurst
Logistics, Complete Off Road, Smart Retract-a-Gate, and Advance Designs. Approximately 1,900
people currently wark at the Kerper Boulevard Industrial Park. A number of vacant buildings and
lots currently exist within the complex. The True North campaign seeks to attract more light
manufacturing and other business uses appropriate for area. Proposed EasUWest Corridor

Community Ice Center, Dubuque Water Sports Club, Dubuque Yacht Basin Marina & RV Park,
American Lady Yacht, MacAleece Sports Complex, Miller-Riverview Park, Schmitt Island boat
ramp,and several Veterans Memorials. Community leaders seek to create a year-round destination
of Chaplain Schmitt Island. In 2017, Chaplain Schmitt Island was rezoned to allow for planned-
unit development. The Q Casino is currently planning a major expansion and the southern half of
the area will be developed as a destination with new retail, restaurants, entertainment, and
recreational amenities. Better vehicle and transit access, as well as more pedestrian and biking
opportunities, is critical to this expansion. BUILD resources will leverage more than $18 million
of private investment on Chaplain Schmitt Island. Improved transportation access to this area will
support the creation of 300 new jobs.
Improved East/West Corridor accommodations are also essential to the redevelopment of area
brownfields. A key site is the former Dubuque Packing Company plant. This vacant building has
sat idle for more than a decade. The Riverview Plaza Shopping Center is planned for the 40-acre
site,which will create 607,500 square feet of commercial space and generate 760 new jobs.
The South Port is 33 acres of vacant and industrial waterfront property adjacent to downtown
Bordered by the Ice Harbor on the north,the Mississippi River on the east, and railroad tracks and
U.S. 151/61 freeway on the west,the area historically contained industrial site uses including bulk
oil storage facilities and railroad activities. Revitalization of the South Port is a long-time
community priority. In 2015, Dubuque received EPA Brownfields Area-Wide Planning funds to
redevelop the South Port into a mixed-use, walkable, transit-oriented neighborhood. Improved
access for western Dubuque residents is key to activating this space.
Finally, downtown residents travel the East/West Corridor to access employment opportunities at
19IPage
growing job centers in western Dubuque. The 162-acre Dubuque Industrial Center West business
park currently employs 1,285 people. Current tenants in the park include Alliant Energy, DDI,
Inc., Dubuque Screw Products, FedEx Ground, Giese Manufacturing, Green Industrial Supply,
Hartig/MedOne, HODGE, Hormel Foods, ITC Midwest, IWI Motor Parts, Medline Industries,
M&M Sales, Oral Arts, RIE Coatings, LLC, Spiegel Warehouse, The Adams Company, Theisen
Supply Inc, Tri-State Industries, Universal Tank& Fabrication, and Vanguard. Dubuque seeks to
expand the City-owned property with tax increment financing (TIF) support. More than 88 acres
are available to develop at the Dubuque Industrial Center West, which could create more than
1,500 new jobs.
The proposed BUILD project will help connect unemployed and underemployed workers in low-
income households along the EasUWest Corridar to job opporiunities. This is critical to
economically-distressed portions of the city(37.3% of Census Tract 1 and 42.8% of Census Tract
7 residents live in poverty).
Besides jobs, BUILD investment will create additional economic benefits. L,and values will rise
along the improved corridor. The surge of economic development that BUILD funding will help
Dubuque to unleash will also create significant local fees and taxes. New economic development
is expected to generate over $17 million in City tax revenues over the neat 20 years.
The EasUWest Corridor project will help residents and commuters avoid the cost of owning a car,
particularly low-income households. According to AAA, owning and operating a car costs $8,469
per year.i� Each vehicle that the project helps an individual avoid owning or using means
significant funds are available for other expenses.
Lack of coordination among signals results in delay at each intersection. The proposed STREETS
program is designed to dynamically react to congestion detected/predicted by the MicroSimulation
model and proactively changes signal timing based on predicted traffic flow data while
disseminating congestion and alternate route information to motorists. STREETS technology and
three roundabouts on University Avenue will reduce delay through the metro area. Overall, the
BCA demonstrates that the project will reduce annual vehicle operating costs by $54.94 million
(3% discounted rate) and $32.59 million (7% discounted rate). Table 7 below provides the results
of the BCA.

(2019 $) Discounted at 7% Discounted at 3%
$78,090,602 $32,595,540 $51,941,225
D. Environmental5ustainability
Another important goal of the EasUWest Corridor improvements is environmental protection. The
project will demonstrate how investing in technology, pedestrian improvements, and biking
accommodations can generate multiple environmental benefits, including reduced dependence on
foreign oil, curbed emissions, and improved air quality of the region and country.
'�AAA's 2017 Your Driving Costs study
20IPage
The East/West Corridor project will support environmental sustainability by reducing vehicle
emissions due to congestion and improving vehicle fuel economy due to more efficient traffic
movements. The STREETS dynamic adaptive system will connect and coordinate all signal
phasing based on real-time delay incident data. That will allow the City and its partners to actively
manage traffic flows. The three roundabouts on University Avenue will reduce bottlenecks on the
corridor. These traffic flow improvements will minimize the associated stop-start conditions that
result in greater amounts of vehicle emissions and air pollution.
STREETS will allow the City to tie together existing closed-loop traffic signal systems, essentially
creating an interconnect-of-interconnects. Traditional signal timing involves choosing a physical
corridor of 8 to 20 traffic signals grouped together and tied to a common cycle length using a single
master controller. Neighboring signal systems, even if physically adjacent to one another, could
not operate as a unified system due to technological limitations. As vehicles pass between systems,
they are likely to experience additional delay and produce additional emissions, solely due to the
differences in operational characteristics. However, STREETS and roundabout improvements will
allow for unification of all 57 signalized intersections and 8 corridors and non-signalized
intersections into one interconnected system. The signals can be treated as one complete unmanned
system. This will allow Dubuque to minimize delays during peak and off-peak periods and help to
minimize wear and tear on the overall system. It also creates more efficient travel movements and
optimal fuel economy.
This reduction in delay will further decrease Dubuque's oil dependence. Transportation modeling
indicates that, with BUILD improvements, the region will use fewer gallons of gasoline annually.
Those energy savings will generate meaningful reductions of carbon and other air pollutants. The
BCA demonstrates $4.4 million (7%discount rate) in reduced emissions over the neat 20 years.
The project also includes energy efficient street lights, which will save electricity, reduce costs,
and curb emissions.
E. Quality of Life
The East/West Corridor project is the result of a comprehensive planning effort that will enhance
the quality of life for residents throughout Dubuque metro area by reducing travel delays due to
congestion and enhancing incident response and management. Traffic congestion and safety are
priority concerns for people living and working in the city. By ensuring that Dubuque and its
partners can provide the safest and most efficient arterial roadway system to support the mobility
needs of residents, commuters, and businesses, the project will contribute to the overall quality of
life. Dubuque's project will improve quality of life in the region by:
• Providing transportation choices. The project was conceived to provide safe, reliable,
and economical transportation choices. Complete Streets and pedestrian improvements
along EasUWest Corridor roadways will provide safe opporiunities for walking and biking.
ADA compliance measures will provide access opportunities for seniors and persons with
disabilities. Transportation modeling suggests a 3%mode shift from vehicles to alternative
means with the proposed BUILD improvements. That will significantly decrease
household transportation expenses. By expanding transportation choices, more Dubuque
households will be able to forego car ownership, or maintain one vehicle rather than two
or more. For residents with low- and moderate-incomes in particular, the cost of car
21IPage
ownership is a significant economic burden.
• Lowering transportation costs. Car ownership is expensive and often unaffordable to
lower-income populations. Eliminating the overall delay has the potential to drastically
reduce the cost of gasoline for low- and middle-income households in Dubuque region.
• Promoting neighborhood revitalization. The project has the potential to completely
revitalize struggling areas of the East/West Corridor. This will improve quality of life in
the struggling areas (37.3% of Census Tract 1 and 42.8% of Census Tract 7 residents live
in poverty).
• Improving connectivity to jobs. BUILD investment is critical to helping connect people
with employment. The economic prosperity Dubuque is dependent on its ability to move
people and goods to the eastern and western ends of the city. However, that mobility is
constrained by congestion and delay on U.S. 20, and local arterials were not designed for
the expansive economic development occurring on the bookends of the corridor. BUILD
improvements will enable Dubuque residents to safely move aboutthe community and save
time and money along busy streets.
• Supporting rural connectivity. Dubuque is the central hub of a region ringed by rural
counties in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. As the employment core, many residents from
small communities travel to Dubuque for wark. The city also provides education, health
care, and other regional services. BUILD resources will help to improve access for rural
residents travelingthe EasUWest Corridor across Dubuque.
Travel time savings will also contribute to quality of life. Less time spent behind the wheel will
provide residents with greater opportunities to enjoy leisure activities. The BCA calculates thatthe
proposed project will more than $26.1 million (3% discounted rate) and $16.4 million (7%
discounted rate) of travel time savings. Table 8 below provides the vehicle hours benefits.

Vehicle Hours Savings Actual (2019 $) Discounted at 7% Discounted at 3%
$39,282,550 $16,396,799 $26,128,416
F. Innovation
An innovative feature of Dubuque's BUILD proposal is the integration of a smart, neat-generation
traffic management and control system on the East/West Corridar to improve efficiency, safety,
and reliability. The Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient and Effective TrafFic Signals (STREETS)
system will collect data (intersection delays, travel speeds, and traffic volumes) using cameras,
detection loops, and radar. Adaptive traffic control will change signal timings in real-time based
on actual demand. The model will also reroute vehicles based on estimated/measured traffic
impedances. The objectives of the STREETS system are to:
• Reduce wear and tear on the EasUWest Corridor by distributing traffic more evenly across
the transportation network
• Ease congestion and improve safety by dynamically rerouting traffic onto roads with eatra
capacities
• Decrease secondary vehicle crashes by identifying incidents and rerouting traffic onto
detourroutes
• Share trafFic data with all major agencies, including City Police and Engineering
22IPage
departments, Dubuque County Emergency Management, school district, and Iowa
Department of Transportation
• Provide public with information 24/7 to make better travel choices
Other project innovations include:
• Complete Streets: The City will transform poorly functioning streets and implement
streetscape improvements along the EasUWest Corridor. Sidewalks, bike lanes, and other
streetscape improvements will support transit, walking, and biking.
• Communication Modernization: Fiber optic cables will be laid along the route to support
further innovation.
• Enerev-Efficient Street Li�htine: The project includes the replacement of existing
incandescent street lights on the rebuilt Complete Street with energy-efficient lamps,which
will save electricity, reduce costs, and curb emissions.
• Green Infrastructure: Green infrastructure approaches will be used to improve water quality
and manage the quality and quantity of storm water runofffrom road surfaces.
Additionally, Dubuque will engage with the Iowa Department of Transportation and regional
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to adopt innovative strategies to expedite project
delivery using Special Experimental Project No. 14 (SEP-14) and Special Experimental Project
No. 15 (SEP-15). Under SEP-14 and SEP-15, Dubuque will seek waivers of Title 23 statutory
and regulatory requirements.
G. Partnership
Dubuque has warked with many key partners to develop the project. Partners crucial to the
implementation of the proposed BUILD elements include:

The project enjoys strong intergovernmental support from Mayor Roy Buol, the Dubuque City
Council, the Dubuque County Board of Supervisors, the Iowa Department of Transportation,
Governor Kim Reynolds, State Representatives Abby Finkenauer and Charles Isenhart, State
Senator Pam Jochum, Representative Rod Blum, and Senators Charles Grassley and Joni Ernst.
The City has also coordinated closely with its federal partners to plan for and develop the project.
That interagency collaboration is already working. Dubuque received a$5.6 million DOT TIGER
grant in 2010 to develop Complete Streets in the Historic Millwork District. In 2012, the FTA
awarded the City a $8 million State of Good Repair grant to construct a new intermodal facility
near the Historic Millwark District. In 2015, Dubuque won a$31.5 million HUD Natural Disaster
Resilience Grant for flood-proofing and storm water infrastructure improvements in the North End,
Washington, and Point Neighborhoods. The City has also received $1 million in EPA Brownfields
Assessment, Cleanup and Area-Wide Planning dollars to remediate contaminated sites in the
project area. Dubuque was honored in 2013 with an EPA National Award for Smart Growth
Achievement for its downtown revitalization efforts. BUILD investment will immediately
leverage this federal support and prior investment.
H. Non-Federal Revenue for Transportation Infrastructure Investment
The private sector is a key supporter of the proposed BUILD improvements. Long-term, non-
federal revenue will continue to support the maintenance of BUILD-funded infrastructure. The
project supports several of Dubuque's Urban Renewal Districts. These areas have the ability to
generate funds with TIF resources. TIF dollars from new development at the Kerper Boulevard
Industrial Park and Dubuque Industrial Center West, on Chaplain Schmitt Island, and within the
planned Riverview Plaza Shopping Center and South Port will help the City to maintain
infrastructure in a state of good repair.
V. PROJECT READINESS
A. Technical Feasibility
The EasUWest Corridor project will easily meet the deadline to obligate funds by September 30,
2020. All design and engineering work will be complete by November 1, 2019. The proposed
budget is based upon recent construction estimates and previous experience with Compete Streets
improvements. Contingency costs have been built into the budget. Dubuque has the technical
capacity to implement the proposed scope of work, as demonstrated by its on-time, on-budget
24IPage
construction of similar projects like TIGER-supported Complete Streets in the Historic Millwork
District. The project will be overseen by Assistant City Engineer Bob Schiesl, who has ea�tensive
experience managing transportation projects and meeting federal funding requirements.
The project areas are largely in the public right-of-way, so obtaining additional property will be
minimal and not be an issue. The key property owner has already agreed to provide land that is
needed for two of the roundabouts. Dubuque has evaluated whether any aspects of the natural,
social, or economic environment would be affected by the project. As the activities that comprise
the project are largely replacement in-kind of existingfacilities, no impacts are anticipated.
Dubuque has a AA3 credit rating. Furthermore, planned and proposed development in the
community is expected to strengthen the City's finances. BUILD funding is expected to spur
significant investment. This economic growth will create additional fees and tax revenues that can
offset additional costs associated with maintaining the proposed infrastructure.
Dubuque has an exemplary record of managing federal grants, having received numerous DOT,
EPA, HUD, and other federal grants over the years. Key to this effort is the development of a
detailed work plan with clear milestones and responsibilities. Performance measures will be
established in order to track progress. The City has never been cited for an adverse OMB Circular
A-133 audit finding and has never been required to comply with "high risk" terms or conditions
under OMB Circular A-102.
Statement of Work
Following is a summary of the anticipated major tasks to implement the BUILD project:
1. Overall Project Management
• Hire Proiect Mana�er: The City will hire a BUILD project manager to supervise and
implement the multi-phase project. Duties will include public outreach, project
coordination, construction management, reporting, and compliance with all funder
requirements.
• Execute Fundine Aereements: Execute binding funding agreements with Iowa
Department of Transportation and other funders.
• Create Capital Project: Establish a capital project to secure debt financing for the full
project cost. A bond anticipation note will be issued to fund projected expenses prior
to receipt of grant reimbursement.
• NEPA: The project is likelyto qualify as a Categorically Excluded activity as it consists
of reconstruction of existing public facilities without any significant increase in size or
capacity. Following consultation on historic resources and endangered species, the
project is expected to comply with all requirements.
2. Construct Roundabouts on East/West Corridor
• Construction Easements: Secure temporary construction easements where grade
changes/retailing walls will be installed.
• Construction Documents: Finalize construction documents and gain Iowa Department
of Transportation approval of design documents.
• Bid: Bid out and award construction contract.
• Construction Contract: Execute construction contract.
• Construction:
25IPage
o Roundabouts on University Avenue at the intersections of Pennsylvania Avenue,
Asbury Road, and Loras Boulevard
3. Integration of Innovative Traffic Control Strategies at Signalized Intersections
• Data Input The module defines the data needs for STREETS system. This module
gathers data from various data sources, compiles them, and feed the data into Micro-
Simulation Model.
• Performance Measurement: The module includes various field devices, and/ar third
party applications(i.e. Waze, Google)that can provide real time datato representtrafFic
operation and system performance.
• Traffic Modeline: The module defines the process of STREETS system. The
STREETS system requires both Travel Demand Modeling (TDM) and Micro-
Simulation model to mimic the roadway netwark to be included in the system.
• Decision Support System (DSS): The DSS is a core module ofthe STREETS system
which integrates other modules and contains functionalities that do not existtoday. This
module interacts with many other modules, allows for data exchange, handles data
formatting/processing, detects congestion, recommends rerouting strategy, and
receives feedback from other modules.
• Advanced Traveler Information Svstem (ATIS): ATIS provides the users of the
transportation system with real-time information that could be used to make decisions
about route choices, estimate travel times, and avoid congestion.
• STREETS Lo�ical Process: The STREETS project intends to deliver an automatic
system that gives City staff the ability to monitor traffic operations and intervene as
necessary but does not require constant or significant manual operations.
B. Project Schedule
Dubuque can begin the proposed project quickly upon award of a BUILD grant and all funds will
be spent expeditiously. Planning activities will commence until project award. Most construction
work will be conducted in the existing right-of-way, which will minimize time required for right-
of-way acquisition.

C. Required Approvals
1. Environmental Permits and Reviews
i. NEPA Status
The City has consulted with the Iowa Department of Transportation on NEPA. The project is slated
for a Categorical Exclusion. Dubuque fully expects this project to be compliant with all regulatory
requirements and to pose no adverse impacts on historic resources. The City expects a final
Categorical Exclusion decision for the project by August 1, 2019.
ii. Other Reviews, Permits, or Approvals
Before Dubuque receives a NEPA Categorical Exclusion, the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) must confirm that historic resources will not be affected and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service needs to uphold that no rare/endangered species will be harmed. The project poses no risk
to cultural or environmental resources. Those reviews will be completed by August 1, 2019.
iii. Environmental5tudies
No environmental studies will be necessary, as the project is slated for a NEPA Categorical
Exclusion.
iv. NEPA Discussions
Dubuque is working closely with Stuart Anderson, Planning, Programming and Modal Division
Director at the Iowa Department of Transportation, to advance the projecYs readiness. Mr.
Anderson has indicated that the proposed project will receive a Categorical Exclusion.
v. Public Engagement
The project is the result of ea�tensive public outreach, led by both the City and the Dubuque
Metropolitan Area Transportation Study. The community has hosted numerous public meetings
gathering input on ways to improve pedestrian, bicycling, and transit uses on EasUWest Corridor.
Local leaders, businesses, and residents attended planning workshops and provided feedback on
proposed transportation solutions. These comments have been factored into the proposed
improvements.
2. State and Local Approvals
The East/West Corridor project is consistent with existing local and regional plans to maintain
transportation facilities and systems in a state of good repair. BUILD funding will complement
other smart growth efforts in Dubuque to focus investment downtown.
Representatives from the state and federal agencies have indicated thatthey will supportthis work
and will move expeditiously to complete regulatory requirements.
3. Federal Transportation Requirements Affecting State and Local Planning
The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study, administered by the East Central
Intergovernmental Association, is supportive of the project and include the EasUWest Corridor
improvements in its TIP. See attached commitment letter.
27IPage
D. Assessment of Project Risks and Mitigation Strategies
Dubuque's BUILD project is both timely and low-risk. Most improvements are located within
existing right-of-way. Key property owners have already agreed to provide land that is needed for
the roundabouts.
Potential project risks and mitigation strategies include:
• NEPA delays: The City has already consulted with the Iowa Department of Transportation,
which administers NEPA reviews on behalf of DOT for federal aid projects. The project
will receive a Categorical Exclusion, pending SHPO documentation that historic resources
will not be affected and from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to confirm that no
rare/endangered species will be harmed. Most work will be conducted in the existing right-
of-way. Dubuque expects a final Categorical Exclusion decision for the project by August
1, 2019.
• Cost overruns: Contingency costs have been built into the budget.
VI. RESULTS OF BENEFIT-COST ANALYSIS
The proposed project shows substantial net benefits. The benefit-cost ratio with a 3%discount rate
indicates the project returns $8.21 in benefits for every dollar of costs. With the higher 7%discount
rate, the benefit-cost ratio is $5.45. The most important benefits are travel time savings, vehicle
operating cost savings, and cost reductions. The detailed annualized flow of benefits and costs are

• Land Use and Reduction of SnrawL The project represents a needed opportunity to reinvest
in an area of Dubuque that is part ofthe existing urbanized core. By providing infrastructure
to assist in the redevelopment of this area, local residents will have greater opporiunity to
find employment and businesses will have access to suitable sites without encouraging
further sprawl on the edges ofthe metropolitan area. This will have environmental benefits
in terms of reduced commuting and use of green space.

Dear Secretary Chao:
I write on behalf of the City of Asbury to convey our strong support for the City of Dubuque's Better Utilizing Investments

Dubuque improve access within the East/West Corridor to support growing traffic demands; address transit, bicycle, and
pedestrian needs; and enhance sustainability, investment, and reinvestment.
Dubuque is underway with significant efforts to boost manufacturing,promote commercial development,and create jobs in
the commercial,office and industrial areas on the City's west side as well as in the downtown and riverfront areas. Capacity
along alternate east-west corridors will need to be improved to provide connectivity between the western growth areas
and downtown. Poor intersections, unsafe conditions, and limited bike/pedestrian accommodations along the East/West
Corridor separate these economic/employment clusters from Dubuque's residents.The City seeks BUILD funds to develop
a Complete Street and roundabouts along the East/West Corridor to link residential neighborhoods to the city's
economic/employment clusters and bike/hike trail network. Dubuque will also integrate a smart, next-generation traffic
management and control system on the corridor to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability.
The City of Asbury supports Dubuque's effort to revitalize the East/West Corridor because the City of Asbury is a suburban
community to the City of Dubuque and the proposed improvements to the East/West Corridor impact traffic in our
community. Dubuque has great potential but faces great challenges and needs USDOT help. Please give the highest

CFGD's mission includes creating a strong, vibrant region, and we support projects that help

all Dubuque residents, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances or mobility needs.
Areas eaperiencing economic growth and investment are adjacent to many diverse
neighborhoods, such as the historic Millwork District, which is seeing an influx of new
residents, and the North End, Point and Washington neighborhoods, established communities
that are home to many lower-income households. Connecting our employment and retail hubs
to these neighborhoods and others is essential to helping Dubuque residents thrive, while
residents' ability to access the opportunities promised by new development will, in turn,
support businesses and amenities.
Dubuque has great potential but also faces great challenges and needs USDOT help. Please

BUILD dollars will help Dubuque improve access within the East/West Corridor to support growing traffic demands;
address transit, bicycle, and pedestrian needs;and enhance sustainability, investment, and reinvestment.These
enhancements would greatly impact the accessibility and quality of life afforded to the over 10,500 students we
serve, their families, as well as our over 2,000 staff inembers and the entire Dubuque Community.
As the Superintendent of Schools, I see daily how our educational system is connected to the overall success of
Dubuque. We are preparing students who we hope will eventually choose to live and work in our vibrant city. From a
staffing perspective,we desire and work to recruit the highest-quality teachers to our community. We wish to be a
destination of choice for employees, students and families.
As part of ensuring this, Dubuque is underway with significant efforts to boost manufacturing, promote commercial
development, and create jobs in the commercial, office and industrial areas on the City's west side as well as in the
downtown and riverfront areas. Capacity along alternate east-west corridors will need to be improved to provide

would benefit our entire community and would especially provide safer, more controlled routes to schools.
The Dubuque Community School District supports Dubuque's effort to revitalize the East/West Corridor Our
community has great potential but faces great challenges and needs USDOT help. Please give the highest
consideration to Dubuque's application for USDOT BUILD funding and, on behalf of the students and families we

1.0 Introduction
The City of Dubuque seeks BUILD funds far the East-West Corridor Project which will connect the
industrial and commercial areas on the city's west side to downtown on the City's east side. The project will
link residential neighborhoods to the city's economic/employment clusters and bike/hike trail network.
Dubuque will also integrate a smart, neat-generation traffic management and control system on the corridor
to improve efficiency, safety, and reliability. The proposed project aligns with the Trump Administration's
goals to improve infrastructure condition, address public health and safety, promote connectivity, and
facilitate competitiveness. This report summarizes the results of a benefit-cost analysis performed for East-
West Corridor Project in the City of Dubuque. The project area is shown in Figure 1.

Future traffic projections indicate that US Highway 20, the primary east-west route in Dubuque, will not
provide sufficient capacity future traffic. A 2009 connectivity study concluded that Dubuque must improve
capacity along alternate east-west corridors to provide connectivity between the city's western growth areas
and downtown. The East West Corridor Connecrivity Study analyzed east-west traffic flow on alternate
corridors and identified improvements or modifications needed to support growing traffic demands. In
addition to reviewing the east-west corridor needs for the City of Dubuque, Asbury Road west of the
Northwest Arterial, including Asbury Road within the City of Asbury, were reviewed to determine
recommended improvements for the corridor.
Key transportation challenges include:
• Ununiform wear and tear on major corridors in the Dubuque metro area as several corridors are
congested and others have ample capacity.
• Congestion-related safety issues on US Highway 20 and other major corridors.
• Bottlenecks on secondary east-west routes Asbury Road, Pennsylvania Avenue, and University
Avenue that discourage use of these corridors.
• High number of property damage crashes due to congestion on the network.
The East-West Corridor Project will address these issues using a dynamic adaptive traffic control system
called Smart Traffic Routing with Efficient& Effective Traffic System (STREETS) on the city's major
corridors that have traffic signals. The project will also eliminate traffic bottlenecks using targeted
infrastructure improvements on corridors that do not have trafFic signals.
The STREETS project will develop a smart, neat generation, traffic management and control system that
uses traffic control strategies to enable dynamic traffic routing to maximize the use of existing roadway
capacities in the Dubuque metropolitan area.
The initial deployment of STREETS covers nine (9) corridors with 57 signalized intersections within the
City of Dubuque. The STREETS project seeks to employ Active Transportation and Demand Management
(ATDM) strategies which will require a suite of modeling tools and methods that will enable the City of
Dubuque to evaluate the potential benefits of implementing ATDM strategies in a dynamic and proactive
fashion using both real - time and historic data.

The project will workto eliminate bottlenecks by converting congested all-way stop intersections to
roundabouts where University Avenue intersects Pennsylvania Avenue, Asbury Road, and Loras Boulevard.
The city will add sharrows on Pennsylvania Avenue, Asbury Road, John F Kennedy Road, Central Avenue
and White Street to accommodate more bike traffic on these corridors. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed
roundabouts on University Avenue.

BENEFIT COST ANALYSIS
The benefit-cost analysis far the proposed project was performed for a 25-year period ea�tending from the
opening year in 2020 to a horizon year of 2045. This technical memorandum provides a benefit-cost analysis
based on existing traffic studies. The report documents projecYs costs and benefits and the assumptions used
in the calculations can be found in the Excel Workbook.
The following topics are addressed in this report:
Methodology adopted
Summary of costs
Summary of benefits
Project related benefit-to-cost ratio, and
Sensitivity analysis ofthe benefit-to-costratio.
Benefit-cost analysis was performed by applying the net present value (NPV) method. The report presents
the forecast costs and economic benefits in 2019 dollars.
Page 5
� . .
2.0 Estimation Approach
Economic estimation of user benefits and its relationship to project costs is customarily performed for major
investments provided by sponsoring agencies such as the City of Dubuque. A multitude of estimation tools
are available to determine the value of a proposed improvement or group of improvements. Under most
scenarios,the proposed project is evaluated over a period of 25 years to prepare an accounting of project
costs and economic benefits or impacts,typically on an annual basis. The results of this exercise, when
appropriately discounted, aids and informs decision-makers whether to pursue an investment, generally
involving public funds.
For this benefit-cost analysis, East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) staff used a series of
spreadsheets analyzing the benefits and costs. Data used in the benefit-cost analysis came from the following
sources:
• The regional travel demand model Developed by Dubuque MPO staff.
• East West Corridor Improvement Study.
• STREETS project Systems Engineering.
• Iowa Department of Transportation Crash Data.
• FHWA Guidance on Preparing Benefit-Cost Analyses and Grant Applications far TIGER Grants
including the 2018 TIGER Discretionary Grants Notice of Funding Availability
• The City of Dubuque Comprehensive Plan
• City of Dubuque Economic Development information
• Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)University Course on Bicycle and Pedestrian
Transportation
• Walkways, Sidewalks, and Public Spaces (2006). Used to estimate the property value benefit
provided by sidewalks and trees
This analysis considered the benefits and costs through calculation of the projecYs net present value (NPV)
using 2019 dollars. This approach includes a summation of initial construction costs along with ongoing
operations and maintenance expenses expressed in present value (2019 dollars). These project costs are then
compared to motorized and non-motorized user benefits likely to accrue from the proposed improvements.
The resulting difference, itemized annually, accounts for the net present worth of the project.
The ratio of user benefits to construction costs when expressed in terms of present value yields the benefit-
cost(B/C)ratio. In addition, the net present value of a project should reflect a positive economic return
within an acceptably long analysis horizon or payback period. In both cases, a higher value is more desirable.
The approach estimates the benefits based offtrafFic and other estimates for 2045 (build and no-build) and
interpolated or eatrapolated for an analysis period of 2019 to 2045, consistent with the prior analysis.
Traffic forecasts under No-Build and Build Scenarios were obtained from the Iowa Department of
Transportation and the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study(DMATS). The analysis had a
2020 base year and 2045 horizon year for build and no-build scenarios. Per USDOT guidance, all project
benefits and costs are discounted to 2019 dollars using the recommended 7% discount rate. The net present
values and the corresponding benefit-cost(BC) ratios, comparing the projecYs discounted benefits and costs,
are summarized in Table 1 below.

4.0 Proj ect B enefits
The East-West Corridor Project is expected to increase property values on University Avenue; reduce overall
system maintenance costs; reduce the frequency of crashes; defer roadway maintenance costs; reduce vehicle
maintenance costs, reduce emissions and reduce travel times for automobiles. These diverse opportunities are
expected to contribute to $112.8 million in benefits when discounted at the recommend 7% discount rate
(Table 5).
The assumptions used to monetize the following benefits reflect the guidance issued by the U.S. Department
of Transportation (USDOT). In cases where USDOT guidance was unavailable or not applicable, the BCA
relied on case study analyses and professional research. Understanding the inherent risks of double-counting
benefits, the assumptions used to quantify these benefits are conservative and pragmatia The detailed
assumptions behind all calculations are documented in the user-friendly Excel Workbook.

4.1 PROPERTY VALUE
The East Corridor Project is expected to improve mobility, accessibility, and quality of life in several key areas
ofthe City. Together,the projecYs multimodal and streetscaping enhancements will help revitalize University
Avenue corridor ultimately helping increase property values and create spaces where people want to live, work,
and visit. In estimating the potential increases in property values, this BCA relied on research from the local
real estate community, as well guidance from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
• Assumes that property value benefits are increased by 1% of assessed value
• Assumes that property value benefits will provide a"stock benefit", to be distributed over 2 years
(benefit will not be realized in one year)
• Property value benefits are considered in year 2022 and 2023
• Properties fronting the University Avenue Corridor were selected for the analysis.
• Properties identified for possible right of way acquisition were removed from the analysis.

The anticipated property value impacts were reduced to account for a capitalized travel benefit(to avoid double-
counting benefits). This BCA applied a conservative 1% increase in anticipated property values to effectively
avoid double-counting property value increases that could be attributable to other travel benefits (e.g. reduced
travel time, fewer crashes).
After applying the capitalized travel benefit reduction,the property value benefit is expected to be $649,870,to
be spread (or divided) across two years, beginning in 2022. When discounted at 7%,the total property value
benefit is approximately $513,135 (Table '�. Visit the Excel Warkbookfor details on the assumptions used in
the property value calculations.

4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
The East-West Corridor Project will support environmental sustainability by reducing vehicle emissions due to
congestion and improving vehicle fuel economy due to more efficient traffic movements.
The dynamic, adaptive system connecting and coordinating all signal phasing based on delay causes and
incidents on the system will allow the City and its partners to actively manage traffic flows. The roundabouts on
University Ave will reduce bottle necks on the corridor. These traffic flow improvements will minimize the
associated stop-start conditions that result in greater amounts of vehicle emissions and air pollution.
STREETS will allow the City to tie together existing closed-loop trafFic signal systems, essentially creating an
interconnect-of-interconnects. Traditional signal timing involves choosing a physical corridor of 8 to 20 traffic
signals grouped together and tied to a common cycle length using a single master controller. Neighboring signal
systems, even if physically adjacent to one another, could not operate as a unified system due to technological
limitations. As vehicles passed between systems, they were likely to experience additional delay, and produce
additional emissions, solely due to the differences in operational characteristics. However, STREETS and
roundabout improvements will allow for unification of all 57 signalized intersections and non-signalized
intersections into one. The signals can be treated as one complete system 24 hours which will be unmanned.
This allows to minimize delays during peak and off-peak periods and help to uniform wear and tear on the
overall system. It also creates a more efficient travel movements and optimal fuel economy.
• The average speed through the metro is assumed to be 27 mph during peak time
• Emission factors for arterial roads are used to calculating the emissions. (Source:
http://www.iowadot.gov/systems�lanning/pdf/2008%20Arterial%20Street%20Vehicle%20Emissio
ns.PDF).
• The overall VHT will remain the same for 25 years.

4.3 SAFETY
Another economic benefit to resulting from the East-West Corridor Project is reduction in crashes as a result of
improvements to all 9 corridors. Crashes are often eatremely costly in terms of loss of life, productivity due to
injury and vehicle or other property damage. To compute crash benefits associated with the proposed project,
the accident history for existing routes in the project area was examined. The crash analysis is divided into two
categories. Category 1 includes crash reduction on the corridor where the dynamic, adaptive signal systems will
be implemented, including: Asbury Road , Central Avenue , John F Kennedy Road, Northwest Arterial,
Pennsylvania Avenue , US Highway 151/61, US Highway 20, and White Street corridors using dynamic,
adaptive signal systems. Category 2 includes crash reductions on University Avenue corridor where all-way
stop intersections will be converted to roundabouts .
The Category 1 corridors had a total of 1,153 injuries from 2013 to 2017, 6 of which resulted in Fatalities, 1,121
are injuries which ranging from Incapacitating to Possible Injuries. The Roundabouts project has 75 crashes
from 2013 to 2017, where all injuries ranging from Incapacitating to Possible Injuries.
While the project is unlikely to eliminate all future crashes, the Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse used
by Iowa Department of Transportation (IADO� has demonstrated that Dynamic Adaptive Signal systems will
reduce crashes by 17% and conversion of all stop intersections to roundabouts will reduce crashes by 88%.
Figure 3 maps the density of crashes across all project corridors.

The crash data from Iowa Department of Transportation is converted into Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS)
data using National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conversion matrix.
The AIS data is multiplied with value assigned to each type of injury.
The process is used to compare safety savings between build and no build options.
The safety savings for a year are kept constant for life of the project.
The Benefit CostAnalysis Guidance for TIGER and INFRA Applicarions (2017) provides unit values (2019
$)for injuries involving fatalities, injuries with severity.
These unit values were multiplied by the average annual crashes (for each crash type) along the project
corridor, resulting in approximately $5.6 million for Dynamic Adaptive system improvements and $1.03
million for Roundabout improvements on university Ave annually.
To accurately reflectthe projecYs potential to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes,this BCA
applied an 17% crash reduction factor for Dynamic Adaptive Signal system and 88%for roundabouts which
is consistent with findings from "Crash Modificarion Factor Clearance House" Measures.
Based on methodology and assumptions, the value of reduced crashes in 2020 would be approximately $6.6
million. However, the value of reduced crashes in 2045 is estimated to be $6.6 million as the value is kept
constant for life of the project. When discounted over 25 years (at 7%), this amounts to a$66.35 million
benefits (Table 9).

4.4 MAINTENANCE BENEFITS
The East-West Corridor Project signalized corridors are not currently adaptive. The pavement on University
Avenue was last maintained in 2005 and is scheduled for maintenance approximately every 20 years, with the
neat maintenance effort scheduled for 2025 (the following date would be 2040).
• Assumes that the scheduled maintenance (2025) could be deferred since the project includes
roadway rehabilitation (which is accounted for in the project costs)
• Assumes the dynamic, adaptive system implementation (2025) could be differed as the pavement
maintenance get differed with roadway rehabilitation
• There is a net benefit or savings since the corridor will require reduced maintenance
• Cost of Maintenance will increase 4% annually.
• Expected life of Pavement is estimated to be 15 years.

The costs provided by the City of Dubuque to maintain the project was increased by 4% annual growth for
future years until year 2045.
The maintenance costs for each year are then discounted at 3 % and 7%
Given that the project includes ea�tensive roadway rehabilitation and streetscaping(reflected in the costs), this
maintenance can be deferred until 2037 (15 years after project completion). When discounted over 25 years (at
7%), this deferred maintenance provides a benefit of$1.19 million (Table 9).

4.5 VEHICLE OPERATING COSTS BENEFITS
The gaps in the pedestrian network(bike lanes and sharrows) currently discourage or prevent many pedestrians
from usingthe East West corridors. Some are forced to use it as this is the major route in the community
connecting schools, recreational and job centers in the community. This route also connects to important
destinations, such as the commercial, institutional, educational and recreational locations.

4.6 VEHICLE HOURS COSTS BENEFITS
Lack of connectivity and coordination among trafFic signals results in delay at each intersection. The proposed
STREETS project is designed to dynamically react to congestion detected/predicted by the micro-simulation
model (takes input from field and recreates origin/destination), and proactively change signal timing based on
predicted traffic flow data while disseminating congestion and alternate route information to motorists. The
STREETS and roundabouts at University Avenue corridor will reduce delay through the metro area.
• Implementation of the STREETS Project will reduce overall travel time throughout the metro area.
• Implementation of the University Avenue corridor roundabouts will reduce overall travel time
throughoutthe metro area.
• The analysis assumes a 50%reduction in overall delay.

5.0 Additional Benefits
Finally, the project reflects the City's goals to improve access across a major corridor and make Dubuque safer
and more comfortable for pedestrians and cyclists. When walking and cycling through the neighborhood
becomes safer and more convenient, people can choose not to drive as much, which can reduce air pollution and
improve overall fitness and health. These additional transportation options can benefit downtown employees
and residents seeking to access businesses and services.
Visit the main project narrative for additional detail on how the project will benefit people traveling in, around,
and through the City of Dubuque.
