RE: 2021 Asphalt Overlay Ramp Project 3
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution is in reference to the public hearing for the 2021 Asphalt Overlay
Ramp Project 3.
BACKGROUND
Since 1990, the City of Dubuque has installed pedestrian access ramps around the City
of Dubuque to conform with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The pedestrian
access ramps allow people with mobility difficulties to access the City's sidewalk system.
The design standards for these ramps have evolved over time as more ramps have been
installed and standards have changed.
Since 2011, The City of Dubuque has followed the "Proposed Accessibility Guidelines for
Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-Way." These are updated standards to use for
facilities in the public right-of-way and addressed issues brought up since the original
ADA standards were developed. The lowa Department of Transportation has adopted the
PROWAG standards. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has also adopted the
standards and requires all cities that receive federal funding to follow these standards.
DISCUSSION
The 2021 Asphalt Overlay Ramp Project 3 will provide for the replacement of fifty-eight
(58) access ramps at 14 intersections in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt
Overlay program at the following locations:
1. Saint John Dr at Hillcrest Rd, one single and one double ramps.
2. Saint John Dr at Graham Cir. (South Intersection), four double ramps.
3. Saint John Dr at Westway Street, two single and one double ramps.
4. Graham Cir. At Westway Street, four double ramps.
5. Westway Street at Keyway Dr, one single and one double ramps.
6. Saint John Dr at Suzanne Dr, two single and one double ramps.
7. Saint John Dr at Graham Cir. (North Intersection), four double ramps.
8. Saint Celia Street at Graham Cir. (North Intersection), two single & one double
ramps.
