2007-2012.2013
2017*2019
The attached resolution is in reference to the public hearing for the 2021 Asphalt Overlay
Ramp Project 4.
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 Iowa 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 4 will provide for the replacement of thirty-three
(33) access ramps in conjunction with the Public Works Asphalt Overlay program at the
following locations:
1. Jackson Street at E 12t" Street, two radius ramps.
2. Jackson Street at E 14t" Street, four radius ramps.
3. Jackson Street at E 15th Street, three radius ramps and two storm intakes.
4. Jackson Street at E 16th Street, three double ramps.
5. Jackson Street at E 18th Street, four radius ramps and two storm intakes.
6. Jackson Street at E 19th Street, four radius ramps and two storm intakes.
7. Jackson Street at E 20th Street, one single and three radius ramps.
8. Jackson Street at E 21st Street, two single, two double ramps and one storm
intake.
