INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the construction contract for the
Northwest Arterial - Pennsylvania Avenue Right Turn Lane Project.
BACKGROUND
The easterly approach driving lane of the Pennsylvania and Northwest Arterial
intersection has one left turn lane, one straight thru lane, and one shared thru and right
turn lane. The shared thru and right turn movement to go straight or north is a very
heavy traffic movement. Unfortunately, it only takes one westbound (straight thru)
vehicle queued at the light to block all free right turn movements. Once blocked, this
shared lane can rapidly back up with vehicles stacking to over 300 feet from the
intersection.
The City of Dubuque applied for and was awarded a Traffic Safety Improvement (TSF)
Grant from the lowa DOT in the amount of $364,000 to assist with the construction of a
right turn lane on the easterly leg of Pennsylvania Avenue with traffic signal adjustments
at NW Arterial and Pennsylvania intersection.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Although traffic signal timings at the NW Arterial - Pennsylvania intersection are
reviewed and updated throughout the year, the existing shared straight thru - right turn
lane does not efficiently handle right turning traffic movements. ITS improvements have
been implemented at this intersection over the last 10 years to provide the most
efficiency from the existing geometrics. This approach has come to the point where no
additional efficiencies can be achieved without adding traffic lane improvements.
PROPOSED TURN LANE IMPROVEMENT
Based on the current operational and capacity challenges the City is experiencing at the
NW Arterial - Pennsylvania intersection, the proposed right turn lane improvement
includes adding an exclusive 350-foot right turn lane along the existing easterly
approach on Pennsylvania. The new right turn lane would allow for a second dedicated
straight thru lane as well as maintaining the existing dedicated left turn lane. The
proposed right turn lane improvement will improve the capacity and efficiency of this
intersection.

Total Project Funding $ 434,675.10
The grant funding agreement between the lowa DOT and the City provides for the
utilization of TSF Grand Funds for eligible constructions costs for the construction of a
new right turn lane. The eligible constructions costs are reimbursed at 100°k. All other
costs such as preliminary engineering (PE), Final Engineering (FE), and Construction
