RE: Support for City of Dubuque Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant
Dear Ms. Ridnour:
On behalf of the City of Dubuque Planning Services Department, I am pleased to offer
our support for the City of Dubuque's application for a Safe Routes to School
Infrastructure Grant.
The Planning Services Department's mission is to work in partnership with our citizens
to create a more livable community and plan for a better future. The Planning Services
Department worked closely with public and private school administrators and the City's
Police and Engineering Departments to develop a Safe Routes to School Plan for
Dubuque, and to select the projects included in the infrastructure grant request. We
believe that these improvements will improve health and safety for the community's
children, thus making Dubuque a more livable city.
A Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant would directly benefit the welfare and
safety of the community's children. We support the City of Dubuque in applying for the
Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Grant.
Sincerely,
Laura Carstens
Planning Services Manager
