RE:Southwest Arterial Addendum to 1999 EA
Dubuque County
Iowa DOT Project No. STP,U-2100(627)~70'31
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This letter is in response to your concerns raised during a conference call with HDR on
Friday, April 25, 2003, regarding the City of Dubuque's definition of "reasonably
foreseeable" as used in the February 6, 2003, DMATS resolution. The DMATS
resolution states:
"the Northwest Arterial south extension to the Southwest Arterial is
desirable and in the long-range transportation plan but is not financially
attainable in the reasonably foreseeable future."
Stated in years, the City of Dubuque defines "reasonably foreseeable" as 15 years or
more.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Van Milligen
City Manager
