SUBJECT: Consultant Recommendation for Central Avenue Corridor Streetscape
Master Plan
DATE: June 25, 2018
INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council approval, the consultant recommendation for the Central
Avenue Corridor Streetscape Master Plan. This project will help to implement a Top Priority of
the City Council's 2017-2019 Policy Agenda -- Central Avenue Revitalization: Streetscape and
Business Development. The proposal of the recommended consultant is enclosed.
DISCUSSION
The creation of the Central Avenue Corridor Streetscape Master Plan between 11 th and 22nd
Streets in the Washington Neighborhood is being directed by the Economic Development
Department in partnership with other organizations working in the corridor, with assistance from
the Planning Services Department. Once a consultant is selected, we plan to engage
representatives from key City Departments, key community partners, and Central Avenue
Corridor stakeholders. Project objectives include:
1. Address the Corridor's current state of aesthetics as well as provide guidelines for future
improvements, and redevelopment of public infrastructure elements within the Corridor.
2. Provide design guidelines for linking complimentary uses, preserving the history and
identity of the neighborhood, and improving walkability as well as recommending options
for streetscape furnishings and landscaping.
3. Address conditions and opportunities for the Corridor's future transition from its current
status as a one-way State highway to a pedestrian-friendly two-way city street such as
traffic calming and Complete Street strategies.
4. Outline simple, cost-effective strategies that can be reasonably be achieved in a short
period of time as well as more complex, long term strategies that will require greater
coordination and expense.
RECOMMENDATION
The consultant selection committee members consisted of the following individuals:
• Maurice Jones, Economic Development Department
• Laura Carstens, Planning Services Department
• Marie Ware, Leisure Services Department

Enhancing Community.Celebrating the History.Defining the Future.Creating a Place.
In support of the Ciry of Dubuque's vision for the Central Avenue Corridor,our approach will consider these statements.Significant work
has been completed within the communiry and corridor to tlate.The Washington Neighborhood is growing at about a 9%rate annualry.
The Southwest Arterial is progressing quickly,expectetl to be complete in late 2019.Upon completion,nearly 600 semi-trucks will be
removetl from the corridor,creating an opportunity to reimagine the circulation and urban fabric.
While there have been significant efforts focused on revitalizing the corridor to tlate-we believe the success of the corridor's future will
be defined by the citizens that live,work antl play within the neighborhootl.RDG's proposed strategy to complete the master plan will be
collaborative,focusetl and visionary.We believe the future is nowl
To provide the services outlined within the RFP,we believe a collaborative partnership between the R�G team,City of Dubuque and
lowa State lJniversiry will provide the Ciry with the best value for the available butlget.Our proposed scope of work will be focused,fun
and participatory.We have tlivided the effort Into three parts resulting in a meaningful,visionary plan that can serve as the fountlation
for schematic tlesign.To maximize the budget identified within the RFP,our proposed process will take place over a ten to twelve-week
process with a major design and public engagement effort midway through the project.
Scope of Worl<
The Buildup
1. Project Kick Off.Early in the project we will conduct a kick off meeting to identify key project goals, review the schedule,
define success and walk the corritlor.On,or around this tlate,we will contluct one-on-one meetings with key stakeholders antl
businessowners from the corridor antl communiry to develop a strategic direction for the project.These key themes will guide the
project and will serve as means to measure progress.
2. Base map&3D model.Using the GIS base map providetl by the City of Dubuque,our team will ativance a basic 3D massing model
of the corridor.This model will extend a half block to the east and west of Central Avenue.
3. Public Engagement.Prior to the workshop in Task 5,our team will work with the Ciry and lowa State University to complete the
following to help promote,attract antl recruit the community in a participatory workshop:
• Press Release,promoting the event
• A"sponsoretl"Facebook event page that targets the Washington Neighborhood(and citizens of Dubuque)promoting the
event.This event page woultl be hosted on the City's Facebook page.
o Sitlewalk signs placetl along the corridor advertising for the event.
• "Drop boxes"to collect comments from the communiry(placetl along the corridor antl within select businesses).
• An intercept survey using Survey Monkey or a similar survey provitler,completetl during the workshop.We woultl de�elop
one version of the survey for business owners and another for residents.
4. Historic Research. Our work will focus on Central Avenue and the Washington Neighborhood to untlerstand the essence of place.
We anticipate working dosely with the Ciry of Dubuque Planning Department to help access historic property and neighborhood
information.
The"CentraP'Event
5. Design Workshop.Midway through the project,our team will lead a focusetl three-and-a half-day design workshop.This workshop
will allow the design team to efficiently develop concept alternatives,receive feedback and finalize a preferred vision and theme for
the corridor's future.We see this as a"transparenP'event taking place at the Historic Fire Station#1,kicked off with a community
social inviting the residents,business owners antl communiry leaders to interact in a meaningful way,provitling input for a preferred
future.During this effort,our team will be representetl by four design team members representing muttiple tlisciplines,including
artistry,landscape architecture,engineering antl urban tlesign.The following is an annotated workshop schedule:
