Citizen Petition-Correspondence - Sunset Ridge Street Reconstruction ProjectTo: Dubuque City Council Dear Honorable Mayor, City Council members, City Manager, I submit the enclosed documents as a petition from my neighbors and I on Sunset Ridge to support a request to be heard at the March 15 City Council meeting. There is unanimous desire for a narrowed street with no sidewalks when Sunset Ridge is reconstructed. Even the couple of neighbors who are wintering down south support this position, but were unable to get original documents signed this week. A precedent has been set on Wartburg Place, where it was determined that a sidewalk on only one side was acceptable for a neighborhood that has student housing and a higher level of traffic. Once you enter the historic stone columns that define Sunset Ridge, the traffic count goes down significantly. Few other neighborhoods in the City have this unique setting that called into question its very status as a public street or private drive. It retains the "private drive" feel that was laid down almost 100 years ago. Many of the large trees close to the street are irreplaceable treasures that date from that time. Their preservation is paramount. The street is a favorite walking path for many residents and neighbors beyond. While the improvemet of the street surface will make walking friendlier, the continued low level of vehicular traffic warrants no sidewalks, to maximize the natural beauty of the neighborhood we all appreciate. Even with no curbs, there are rarely any vehicles parked on the street, mostly lawn service contrac- tors. Even with their big trailers, they are never an unmanagabte obstacle. Traffic count is unlikely to ever go up. We certainly feel no need for a street wide enough for two lanes of traffic and a parking lane. We appreciate your consideration of our position on this project.

Sunset Ridge has been a 20-21' dead-end street with no sidewalks for almost 90 years. Steve Pregler, the City Forester, has evaluated the trees on Sunset Ridge and his recommendation is that the street be reconstructed to its current width in order to preserve a large stand of 80 year old spruce trees at the beginning of the street. Widening of the street will damage the root systems resulting in the possible or even probable loss of the trees. Over the past 40 years I have invested considerable money and effort having the trees trimmed and maintained annually. As long as the trees remain healthy they should live for another 80 years. I hope you will be able to drive down the street and look at the situation. Thank you for your assistance and for taking the time to read this.
