Dubuque County REAP Plan_Fiscal Year 2011Masterpiece on the Mississippi Dubuque ketd Alttcalftyy 1 2007 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2011 Dubuque County REAP Plan - City of Dubuque Update, Grant Application and City Representative on REAP Committee DATE: July 22, 2010 Planning Services Manager Laura Carstens is recommending City Council approval of the City of Dubuque's Fiscal Year 2011 update to the Dubuque County Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) Plan, a REAP grant application for installation of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail — Phase 4 project, and confirmation of the City's representative to the Dubuque County REAP Committee. The Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail — Phase 4 project will extend the trail approximately one mile from Holliday Drive to Pennsylvania Avenue. The project will build a 10 -foot wide off -road trail along the west side of the Northwest Arterial. The Engineering Department's total cost estimate for Phase 4 is $228,300. No City match is required for REAP grants; however, the Phase 4 cost estimate exceeds the $200,000 REAP grant maximum, so a City contribution of $28,300 is needed. The Planning Department has identified a funding source. The current City representative on the REAP Committee, Council Member Joyce Connors, has expressed interest in continuing. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval.

Van Milligen Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: FY 2011 Dubuque County REAP Plan -- City of Dubuque Update, Grant Application and City Representative on REAP Committee DATE: July 22, 2010 Dubuque kiftld All4mdlca City 2007 INTRODUCTION The Dubuque County REAP Committee is updating the Dubuque County REAP Plan for FY 2011. REAP (Resource Enhancement and Protection) is a grant program for parks and open space administered by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). This memorandum requests City Council approval of the City of Dubuque's FY 2011 update to the Dubuque County REAP Plan, a REAP grant application for installation of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail - Phase 4 project (Holliday Drive to Pennsylvania Avenue), and confirmation of the City's representative to the REAP Committee. DISCUSSION The REAP Committee has requested the City of Dubuque's FY 2011 update for the Dubuque County REAP Plan, any REAP grant applications, and confirmation of the City of Dubuque's representative on the REAP Committee by July 29, 2010. Correspondence from the REAP Committee is attached. FY 2011 REAP Plan Update Attached is the completed questionnaire for the City of Dubuque's FY 2011 update for the Dubuque County REAP Plan. The update was prepared based on the prior REAP Plan and the City's adopted FY 2011 - FY 2015 Capital Improvement Program, with input from Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware on additional REAP - eligible projects. The request that the Iowa Legislature increase the cap on the Environmental First Fund (under which REAP and many other environmental programs are funded) to help fund REAP was recommended in 2008 by Ross Harrison, former REAP Coordinator with the IDNR. FY 2011 REAP Grant Application Staff recommends submittal of the attached REAP grant application for installation of the Iowa 32 (Northwest Arterial) Bike /Hike Trail - Phase 4 project. This project will extend the trail approximately 1 mile from Holliday Drive to Pennsylvania Avenue as a 10 -foot wide off -road trail along the west side of Iowa 32. Phases 1 - 3 each were funded by $200,000 REAP grants. The Engineering Department's total cost estimate for Phase 4 is $228,300. The engineer's estimate for development costs is $188,680.The project budget includes a contingency of REAP Plan Page 2 $18,868 and construction engineering and inspection fees of $20,755. No City match is required for REAP grants; however, the Phase 4 cost estimate exceeds the $200,000 REAP grant maximum so a City contribution of $28,300 is needed. With work underway on the Asbury Road and Iowa 32 intersection in FY 2011, Engineering staff will delay work on the Phase 3 trail project from Plaza Drive to Holliday Drive until FY 2012. This delay will allow the Phase 3 and Phase 4 projects to be combined as a single project for bidding and construction, with expected savings in mobilization, etc. The Planning Services Department has a FY 2010 carryover of $2,333 in the Riverfront Plan Implementation CIP (# 100 -1015, 102 -1015, 350 -1015) and an FY 2012 annual allocation of $25,000 for a combined total of $27,333 in this CIP. This CIP can provide the local match for the Phase 4 project in FY 2012. The City does not have a current CIP budget for the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail. Budget Director Jenny Larson has indicated that if the FY 2011 REAP grant is received, the project can be added through a budget amendment the Riverfront Plan CIP can provide the local match. Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware has indicated that cost savings from FY 2011 projects in her Department will be identified to offset use of the Riverfront Plan CIP. Any amounts offset by these savings then can be used for riverfront projects. City Representative on REAP Committee The current City representative on the REAP Committee is City Council Member Joyce Connors. Confirmation of the City's FY 2011 REAP Committee representative is requested. An appointment form is included in the attached correspondence from the REAP Committee. RECOMMENDATION The REAP Committee must approve updates to the annual REAP Plan and REAP grant applications prior to their submittal to the IDNR. The REAP Committee will meet on August 11, 2010. FY 2011 REAP Plan updates and REAP grant applications are due to the REAP Committee by July 29, 2010. REAP grant applications are due to the IDNR by August 15, 2010. Grant awards are usually confirmed by October. I recommend that the City Council approve the attached City of Dubuque's update of the FY 2011 Dubuque County REAP Plan and the attached resolution for submittal of a FY 2011 REAP grant application of $200,000 for the Iowa 32 (Northwest Arterial) Bike /Hike Trail - Phase 4 project. I also recommend that the City Council confirm the City Council representative to the Dubuque County REAP Committee.

PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The entire Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail Project is approximately 5 miles of 10 -foot wide paved trail along Iowa 32 from a point just east of the U.S. 52 / Iowa 386 intersection to U. S. 20. The project will provide a paved trail within the highway right -of -way that is physically separated from the motorized traffic. Signed on- street routes along the trail will provide linkages to City parks and recreation areas. The entire Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail Project will be constructed in phases between major intersections along Iowa 32. This Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) grant application is just for Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail. Phase 1 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail was funded by a REAP grant, and completed in the fall of 2006. Phase 1 is approximately 2 miles. Phase 2 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail also was funded by a REAP grant, and was completed in the fall of 2010. Phase 2 is approximately 1 mile. Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail also was funded by a REAP grant, and will completed in the fall of 2011. Phase 2 is approximately 1 mile. Phase 1 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail was funded by a FY06 REAP grant. It begins at the planned connection of the Dubuque County Heritage Trail and the City of Dubuque Heritage Trail just east of the U.S. 52 / Iowa 386 intersection. It extends westerly to the intersection of John F. Kennedy Road with Iowa 32 as a 10 -foot wide paved, physically separated trail in grassy right -of -way. It utilizes a route within the right -of -way that was graded for the trail by the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) during construction of four -lane Iowa 32 from John F. Kennedy Road to U.S. 52. The 26 -mile Dubuque County Heritage Trail is a rural trail of crushed limestone that follows an abandoned railroad line from Dyersville to Dubuque. The eastern trailhead, Heritage Pond and Trail Interpretive Area, is located 3 miles north of Dubuque on U.S. 52 at Rupp Hollow Road. Fishing and picnic areas are available at Heritage Pond. The City's urban extension of Heritage Trail is a 13 -mile riverfront trail system that extends south to the Mines of Spain State Recreation Area, with side routes to the America's River project at the Port of Dubuque, to City riverfront parks, and the Mississippi River. Phase 2 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail was funded by a FY09 REAP grant. Phase 2 runs through a picturesque corridor of open space, soccer fields, agricultural lands, residential neighborhoods, and commercial developments. At its eastern terminus, Phase 2 links via on street routes to Marshall Park and the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens via on- street signed routes, where many trailhead amenities exist. The proposed trail adjoins the AYSO Soccer Complex, which has public rest rooms, water fountains, concession stand, picnic tables, playground, and parking. At its western terminus, Phase 2 connects with Plaza Drive in the Asbury PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) Plaza. Asbury Plaza is a regional shopping center with restaurants, supermarket, movie theater, and other retail /service uses available to trail users. Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will extend approximately 1 mile along Iowa 32 (locally known as the Northwest Arterial) on the northwest side of Dubuque.

PROJECT BENEFITS, NEEDS, JUSTIFICATION, AND URGENCY Project Benefits and Needs Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will provide an important and safe continuation for bike and pedestrian traffic to flow back and forth from the Dubuque County Heritage Trail and the City of Dubuque's Heritage Trail Riverfront System on the north end of Dubuque to the west end of town. The west side of Dubuque is the fastest growing shopping, employment and residential area in the city. The north end of Dubuque includes some of the City's low and moderate income neighborhoods with a diversity of racial, ethnic, and age groups. The Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail provides access to Marshall Park and the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Here trail users can enjoy picnic areas, a band shell for outdoor concerts, rest rooms, a visitor's center, drinking fountains, playground equipment, trash receptacles, benches, gazebos, and walking trails leading to water, herb, Japanese, and shade gardens. An on- street signed route along West 32 Street and Arboretum Drive will connect Marshall Park and the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens to the Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail. The Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail project will allow bicyclists and pedestrians opportunities to safely access a variety of recreational uses, including hiking, biking, jogging, picnicking, fishing, and other recreational facilities at City and County parks and recreational facilities. Enclosed are maps depicting primary bicycle and pedestrian destinations along the Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail, links to the existing bike /hike trails, and links to the proposed and existing portions of the bicycle and pedestrian network in the Dubuque area. The Dubuque County Heritage Trail, the City's Heritage Trail Riverfront System, and the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail form a bicycle and pedestrian network that will be used by both tourists and local residents. As an off -road trail, the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will accommodate experienced riders, casual or new adult and teenage riders, pre -teens and young children monitored by parents. Project Justification The Dubuque County Heritage Trail and the City of Dubuque's Heritage Trail Riverfront System are accessible to the rural areas north of Dubuque, to Dubuque's north end neighborhood and central business district, and to the south end of town. The existing County /City heritage Trail network, however, does not connect with the City's growing west side. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail will provide an important continuation of the west side link to the County /City Heritage Trail network and other attractions that does not exist. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) Dubuque County Heritage Trail The Dubuque County Heritage Trail is a 26 -mile bicycling /hiking path linking the communities of Dubuque, Dyersville, Farley, Epworth, Graf, Durango and Sageville in Dubuque County. The trail surface is crushed limestone with a one percent maximum grade. No horses or motorized vehicles are allowed on the trail. The Dubuque County Conservation Board has received federal funding for an extension of the Heritage Trail along the former Chicago -Great Western Railroad right -of -way from its current terminus at Heritage Pond 3 miles north of Dubuque, across U.S. 52 via a bike /pedestrian bridge, under Iowa 386, to its intersection with the City's Heritage Trail Riverfront System. Phase 1 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail connects to the Dubuque County Heritage Trail near Iowa 386, providing access between the west side of Dubuque and the Heritage Trail. Phase 2 and Phase 3 extend this connection west. Phase 4 will extend a second connection to the community of Asbury, a suburb of Dubuque that is actively developing a bike /hike trail system. t arm bit EP ITS r •` -- A & .tE . .06 ma ILL City of Dubuque Heritage Trail Riverfront System The City of Dubuque's Heritage Trail Riverfront System connects the north end of the city with the riverfront, the downtown area, and the Mines of Spain State Recreational Area, south of Dubuque. The City of Dubuque has established this urban trail system using signed routes on City streets and several off -road trail segments where possible. The City has also completed several trail connections to City parks and attractions along the riverfront. A map of the Heritage Trail Riverfront System is enclosed. Users of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be able to link with this 10.5 mile riverfront trail system. Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail users will be able to travel on the Heritage Trail Riverfront System to attractions like Lock and Dam No. 11, City parks, the Mississippi River, the America's River project at the Port of Dubuque, and the Mines of Spain State Recreation Area. The Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail provides an important link to three off- PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) road trails within the City's Heritage Trail Riverfront System -- the Dubuque Jaycees Trail, Heron Pond Wetlands Nature Trail, and the Alliant Energy Powerline Trail. The Mines of Spain Recreation Area is a 1,387 -acre recreation area located along the southern edge of Dubuque. The State Park is a designated National Historic Landmark, a National Wildlife Federation Nature Area, and a Watchable Wildlife Area. The Mines of Spain contains the 600 -acre Catfish Creek Preserve, which is an architectural and geological preserve. America's River at the Port of Dubuque boasts the Grand River Center -- an education and conference center, the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, the Grand Harbor Resort and Indoor Water Park, and the Mississippi Riverwalk Recreational Trail, a one -mile promenade along the riverfront and historic Ice Harbor. State and National Trails The County and City sections of the Heritage Trail are part of the backbone system of the State Recreational Trail Plan. The Dubuque County Heritage Trail is a National Recreation Trail. Portions of the Dubuque County Heritage Trail and the City's Heritage Trail Riverfront System are part of the designated route for the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) through Iowa. The MRT is a 2,000 -mile bike trail system being developed through the river cities and river landscapes in the 10 states along the Mississippi River from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico. The Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will provide a side trip from the Heritage Trail and the MRT. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will extend this MRT connection to neighborhoods on Dubuque's west side. City Parks and Schools A map showing the proximity of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail project to parks and schools is enclosed. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail provides a continuation of the important west side !ink for bicyclists and pedestrians to access passive and active recreational facilities at the public parks and the public and parochial schools in Dubuque and Asbury. Relationship to State and Local Plans Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail is consistent with many state and local plans. Dubuque County 5 -Year REAP Plan The Dubuque County 5 -Year REAP Plan states that "it is the goal of the City of Dubuque's Leisure Services Department to develop...a safe, clean, functional and attractive system of parks and recreational facilities to meet the passive and active PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 = IKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) leisure needs of all residents and visitors ". Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail will help to achieve these goals by extending the City's first off -road trail to the community's growing west side and the suburb of Asbury. It will be a plus for residents of both communities and for visitors to the Dubuque area. Iowa Open Spaces Program Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail also addresses the overall goals of the Iowa Open Spaces Program to "educate the citizens of the state about the needs and urgency of protecting the state's open spaces, plan for the protection of the state's significant open space areas, and acquire and protect those properties on a priority basis through a variety of appropriate means ". Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail will offer a safe and accessible route with links to west side neighborhoods, parks, schools, and shopping centers. Iowa Statewide Comprehensive Statewide Plan Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail is closely tied to many of the priorities and issues of the Iowa Statewide Comprehensive Statewide Plan (SCORP). The SCORP comments that the three most important values for quality trail experience are: health and fitness, aesthetic beauty, and natural area preservation of open space. The SCORP calls for the "expansion and acquisition, development and management of existing...wetlands, recreation and wildlife areas and a need to increase awareness of wildlife diversity programs and non - consuming enjoyment of wildlife on all lands ". Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail will provide ready opportunities for health and fitness, aesthetic beauty and appreciation of open space. Statewide Recreation Trails Usage Study In the 1989 Iowa Statewide Recreation Trails Usage Study, elements that were mentioned that contributed most to the trail user's enjoyment were: • ' The trail traverses a variety of landscapes. • The presence of water. • The trail corridor is separate from the roadway. • Historical markers are present. The existing Heritage Trail and proposed recreational trails fall into these categories of enjoyment. Ultimately, the City of Dubuque envisions the Heritage Trail as the focal point of a city -wide bicycling and pedestrian system. Links along Iowa 32, 32 Street, Loras Boulevard, Dodge Street/Highway 20 and Catfish Creek will form a safe, scenic full -city and riverfront loop. Annual use on the Dubuque County Heritage Trail exceeds 60,000 people with an estimated 30% from out -of -town. Extension of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail with Phase 4 PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) as a side trip off the Heritage Trail system adds to Dubuque's reputation as a tourist destination for both the State of Iowa and the community. Statewide Trails Vision According to the Statewide Trails Vision, the ultimate goal is to "connect communities, parks, natural resources, shopping, employment and other amenities with a comprehensive, multi - modal, easily accessible trails system ". Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will connect with other attractions in the community and offer ready access to the Dubuque County Heritage Trail and the City of Dubuque's Heritage Trail Riverfront System via its connection to Phases 1, 2 and 3. DMATS Long Range Transportation Plan The entire 5 -mile Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail Project is included in the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) 2031 Long Range Transportation Plan. DMATS is the Tri -State area where Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin meet. In Iowa, DMATS includes the urbanized areas of Dubuque County. The City of East Dubuque and Jo Daviess County in Illinois and Grant County in Wisconsin are served by DMATS. The DMATS Plan includes the comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Network as an example of multi -modal transportation for the Dubuque area. The DMATS Plan calls for hiking and biking trails for recreational purposes and as alternative modes of transportation that will help reduce pollution and highway congestion. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will help to achieve these goals. City of Dubuque Comprehensive Plan The 2008 City of Dubuque Comprehensive Plan contains the following goals for bike /hike trails, riverfront enhancement and increased accessibility to the river as well as the development of neighborhood parks and open space: ➢ Support parks, green space, trails and similar park/open space uses easily accessible to residents at neighborhood level. ➢ Strive to establish Dubuque as a bicycle friendly town, with bike lanes and bike trails where feasible. ➢ Encourage parks, green space, trails and similar park/open space uses easily accessible to residents at neighborhood level. ➢ Encourage and facilitate urban accessibility by walking, cycling and /or public transit as well as by auto. ➢ Encourage the development of pathways that link the community together in a cohesive manner. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail will help to realize these goals. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) Tri -State Area Trail System Plan The proposed Tri -State Area Integrated Walking, Biking, Hiking Network Plan encompasses the DMATS area. This Plan was approved by the DMATS Board in 2008 and by the City of Dubuque in 2009. The goals of the Tri -State Trail Plan are: 1. Create an integrated trail system throughout the Tri -State are to encourage recreation, wellness, alternative transportation, energy conservation, heritage tourism, environmental education and air quality. 2. Provide connections to regional, state and national trail systems, including the MRT. 3. Connect all of the trail systems to the Port of Dubuque River Walk, Heritage Trail, E.B. Lyons and the Mines of Spain. 4. Provide connections from neighborhoods to schools, parks and other points of interest. 5. Develop safe paved trails, with a corresponding website and maps, plus restrooms, benches and bike racks. 6. Advocate for adoption of "Complete Streets" policies by cities and counties in the Tri -State area. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will help accomplish all of these goals. The Tri -State Trail Plan identifies existing network needs and recommends projects that will further enhance and improve the conditions for walkers, bikers, and hikers in the Tri - State area. Projects identified in this Plan were evaluated according to priority criteria including safety, connectivity, and network needs. These priorities emphasize providing a network that makes connections to destinations such as neighborhood districts, major employers, schools, recreational areas, and commercial areas, along with enhancing regional connections. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail clearly addresses all these Plan objectives. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail is listed among the approved planned facilities in the Tri -State Trail Plan. The Implementation section of this Trail Plan lists Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail as a High Priority Project. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) V. ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL IMPACTS OF PROJECT Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be located within the right -of -way for four - lane Iowa 32 from John F. Kennedy Road to Plaza Drive. The IDOT conducted an environmental impact analysis of the highway route to identify and mitigate impacts to flood plains, timber resources, terrain alterations, and wetlands features prior to construction of four -lane Iowa 32. As a result, Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will not impact any such features. Temporary environmental impacts of the proposed project will be limited to those associated with trail construction: noise and dust associated with preliminary and final grading and paving, and detours associated with any traffic control measures that may be needed. These adverse impacts will be localized to the trail route, with little impact off -site due to the right -of -way width of Iowa 32. Permanent environmental, economic, cultural, aesthetic and social impacts of the proposed project will be beneficial. The permanent beneficial impacts of the project will be the creation of a paved, physically - separated bike /hike trail that will be available to all user groups, within easy access of single - family residential neighborhoods on the City of Dubuque's north and west sides, and offering linkages to trail systems in Dubuque County and the City of Asbury. No adverse permanent impacts are expected. Dubuque has defined our sustainability vision with three vital components: Environmental /Ecological Integrity, Economic Prosperity, and Social /Cultural Vibrancy. Sustainable projects include the ability to save money, create jobs, leverage human and financial capital, promote energy conservation and renewable systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, have measurable successes, create partnerships, and have positive community impact. The City's Engineering Department reviews trail plans to ensure that development proceeds in a planned, responsible manner. Specifically, impacts to traffic (both vehicular and pedestrian) and to erosion control and stormwater management are considered. The Engineering Department holds an annual Low - Impact Development workshop for contractors, engineers, and design professionals. LID best management practices are encouraged. The Green Vision Building Materials Management and Waste Minimization Program is a high priority of the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency (DMASWA). The information in the Program guide shows contractors how to save money and resources by recycling materials from construction, demolition, deconstruction, and renovation jobsites. This guide also helps them find environmentally - friendly locations for reusable or recyclable materials. DMASWA annually holds workshops for contractors and homebuilders deconstruction, waste minimizations and material re -use. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) VI. HISTORICAL, ARCHEOLOGICAL, AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES /IMPACTS Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be located within the right -of -way for four - lane Iowa 32 from John F. Kennedy Road to Plaza Drive. The IDOT conducted an environmental impact analysis of the highway route to identify and mitigate impacts to historical, archeological, cultural, and architectural features prior to construction of four - lane Iowa 32. As a result, Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will not impact any such features. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) VII. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND PARTICIPATION The City of Dubuque has received interest in and support for a community -wide bicycle and pedestrian network for over 15 years. Initial interest began with the City's community visioning process for the tri -state area in 1990 -1992. Over 5,000 area residents participated in this process through questionnaires, telephone surveys, public forums, and public hearings. Citizen interest and support from the general populace and from local running and bicycling clubs grew as the City of Dubuque embarked on an update of the Dubuque Comprehensive Plan in 1992 -1995. A map and written goals and objectives outlining a community -wide bike /hike system were adopted by the Dubuque City Council in 1995. This was reaffirmed during public forums and public hearings for an update of the Comprehensive Plan in 2000 -2002. Concurrent with this planning process, the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (DMATS) began an update of the Long Range Transportation Plan that identified a community -wide bicycle and pedestrian network for the tri -state area. Again, this network was reaffirmed with the update of the DMATS Plan in 2001 after focus group meetings with trail users and other interest groups, as well as public meetings and public hearings. In 1996, the City of Dubuque developed a Heritage Trail Master Plan with trail users, neighborhood associations and other interest groups. The Master Plan lays out an 18- mile extension of Heritage Trail through Dubuque, and identifies linkages to other trail segments, including the Northwest Arterial (Iowa 32). When the extension of Iowa 32 from John F. Kennedy Road to U.S. 52 was built in 2001 -2002, the IDOT included the preliminary grading for the recreational trail along the south side of the road within the highway right -of -way. Construction of Iowa 32 was preceded by an environmental assessment, which included public meetings and required formal hearings about the roadway design and the location of the bike /hike trail in the highway right -of -way. The IDOT used a variety of communication media to keep local officials, adjoining property owners, and the general public informed during the environmental analysis, the project design phase, and then construction. In 2004, DMATS began another update of the Long Range Transportation Plan. Updating the bicycle and pedestrian component of this plan involved open meetings and public hearings with interested user groups, such as local bicycle and running clubs, bicycle shop owners, the Dubuque County Conservation Board, which manages the County's 26 -Mile Heritage Trail, and other trail stakeholders. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) In July 2005 a grass roots effort of community citizens gathered to envision the future of the greater Dubuque area. Through this process several hundred ideas were voted on by the community to come up with Envision 2010: Ten Community Projects by 2010. An integrated walking, biking, hiking trail system was one of those Envision 2010 top 10 ideas. Walking, biking, and hiking are popular recreational activities and are increasingly becoming important as "alternative transportation modes." The Tri -State Area Integrated Walking, Biking, Hiking Network Plan encompasses the DMATS area. Tri -State Trail Vision, a non - profit group, worked with DMATS staff to host a public input session on the draft Plan. Over 200 people attended, and their comments were incorporated into the Plan. This Plan was approved by the DMATS Board on August 13, 2008 and by the Dubuque City Council in May, 2009. The City of Dubuque has included the construction of the Iowa 32 (Northwest Arterial) Bike /Hike Trail in its five -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP budget is reviewed at public hearings each year as part of the Dubuque City Council's budget process. The City budget is also available for public review and comment at City Hall, the Carnegie -Stout Public Library, and on the City of Dubuque's website. The schedule of public hearings for the City. budget is provided to local media and posted on City Channel 8, the City's public access television channel. During bidding and construction of all City trail projects, public notification and participation continues through posting of Dubuque City Council agendas, bid documents, and construction contract awards in the local newspaper, on City Channel 8, at the Carnegie -Stout Public Library and City Hall, and on the City website. Public hearings are conducted by the City Council prior to bidding and upon award of a construction contract. The City typically invites adjoining property owners to neighborhood meetings during project design and prior to construction for better communication and coordination. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) VIII. CONSIDERATIONS GIVEN TO MINORITIES, ELDERLY, AND HANDICAPPED City Policy The City of Dubuque gives full consideration to minorities, the elderly, and persons with disabilities in all its bike /hike trail projects. The City has a long- standing commitment to a citywide bike /hike network that is accessible to all segments of the general population, including minorities, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. All City bike /hike trail projects comply with Americans with Disabilities (ADA) guidelines and American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines for recreational trail facilities. All City bike /hike trails are open to the public free of charge. Trail Project Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will provide a 10 -foot wide paved trail physically separated from the motorized traffic on Iowa 32 by an open space located within the highway right -of -way. This type of facility is well suited for all users. A physically separated pathway like Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail accommodates the greatest number of user groups, by taking into consideration the differing abilities of the potential trail users. This paved off -road trail will facilitate access by youth, older adults, persons with disabilities, and similar special needs populations — as well as the avid hikers and bicyclists in the tri -state area. The City's initial investment in the citywide bike /hike network has created a 10.5 -mile on- street Heritage Trail Riverfront System through many of the community's targeted neighborhoods and the central business district. These areas have a higher than average concentration of racial and ethnic minorities, low and moderate income households, rental units, single- parent households, and elderly persons than the city at large. Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail project will provide access to the significant population of low to moderate income, racially and ethnically diverse, and older households that reside in the north end of Dubuque. The Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail project, like all City of Dubuque trails, will be open to all users without a fee, which also facilitates its use by economically disadvantaged persons. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) IX. AGREEMENTS AND EASEMENTS Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be located within the right -of -way of Iowa 32 and will be the subject of an agreement between the City of Dubuque and the IDOT; this process has been used for Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the trail project. The Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be part of the City of Dubuque's park system, so use of the trail will be governed by City of Dubuque ordinances like the other bike /hike trail routes in the City's park system. The Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be maintained by the City of Dubuque's Leisure Services Department. The Department's Park Division has an annual operating budget and a five -year capital improvement budget for maintenance of the City's parks and trails. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 IKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) X. ITEMIZED COST ESTIMATE Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 (Northwest Arterial) Bike /Hike Trail will extend the 10 -foot wide paved trail approximately 1 mile from Plaza Drive to Holliday Drive along the west side of Iowa 32. Enclosed is the itemized cost estimate prepared by the City of Dubuque Engineering Department for the development costs for Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail with asphalt paving. The project budget includes a project contingency and construction engineering and inspection costs. The City of Dubuque has sufficient funding for the project contingency, and any construction costs over the REAP grant request of $200,000. In summary, the project costs for Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail are as follows: Development Costs Excavation & Stone $ 81,200 Pavement 70,000 Miscellaneous 37,480 Base Bid Sub -Total $188,680 Contingency $ 18,868 Construction Engineering & Inspection $ 20,755 Project Total $228,303 PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) XI.

COUNTY RESOURCE ENHANCEMENT COMMITTEE COMMENTS The Dubuque County REAP Committee voted in support of Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail Project at their August 11, 2010 meeting without comments. The Chairperson of the Committee has signed the enclosed application form as required. PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) XIII. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS REQUIRED The purpose of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail Public Communications Plan is to ensure public knowledge of this new City trail throughout its development phases, acknowledge partnerships involved in its completion, and encourage continued use of the linkages and amenities the trail will offer. As part of its long -term commitment to a citywide bike /hike network, the City of Dubuque is working diligently to connect Dubuque residents and guests to the Dubuque County Heritage Trail. A key access point to the Heritage Trail for the west side of Dubuque is the construction of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail. This trail project is a phased project. Communication Tools The City of Dubuque uses a variety of communication tools to keep Dubuque citizens informed on local plans and projects. The "City News" newsletter is published bi- monthly by the City's Public Information Office and inserted into utility bills. Through this publication, photographs, updates, and information on City projects are distributed to more than 21,000 households. Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be featured in the newsletter. Additionally, City Channel 8, the City's public access television channel, broadcasts text and visual images to the City's cable customers (with a penetration rate of more than 80 percent of households). Information about Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail will be displayed for ceremonies and programming. The City's website, www.citvofdubugue.orq, is a fast, efficient way to highlight new projects and update ongoing plans. Free public access to the Internet is available at the Carnegie -Stout Public Library, ensuring that citizens have access to the website. Color images and plan views of Phase 3 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail as well as the REAP logo sign will be placed on the website. Frequent media releases throughout the year keep local and regional media informed about large projects and translate into media coverage. Media releases will be used for major phases of the development of Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail: grant award, ground- breaking, and ribbon cutting. All these tools would be effective in publicizing Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail and the IDNR / REAP partnership. Recognition Events The City of Dubuque recognizes its major projects with a ground- breaking ceremony hosted by the Dubuque Mayor and City Council. Invited to these events are the public, PROJECT NARRATIVE: IOWA 32 BIKE /HIKE TRAIL (PHASE 4) partnership agencies and the media. In addition to showcasing a new public project, a project program is distributed to participants providing background information. To acknowledge the project's completion, a ribbon - cutting or dedication ceremony hosted by the Dubuque Mayor and City Council. The public, partnership agencies and the media are invited. A project program of background information is distributed to participants. Again this is another venue to inform the public of major accomplishments and funding partners. A ribbon - cutting ceremony will be scheduled for Phase 4 of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail. IDNR officials will be invited and recognized at both events for their REAP funding partnership. Public Exhibits The City of Dubuque has utilized exhibits as a way to solicit public input for and inform the general public of City plans and trail projects. These exhibits — which include site plans, architectural drawings, photographs and text — are placed around the city in public gathering places such as the Carnegie -Stout Public Library. These exhibits have included staff on site to record input, self- directed surveys and comment cards, or other response mechanisms. A display of the color images and plan views of the Iowa 32 Bike /Hike Trail as well as the REAP logo sign will be placed at Carnegie -Stout Public Library.
