MEMORANDUM
April 11, 2005
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City ~a~r
Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer!jL~ ,.
TO:
SUBJECT:
Port of Dubuque - Courthouse Dome
BACKGROUND
This is a follow up to the question as to the width of the visibility corridor
from the Convention Center to the Courthouse Dome.
DISCUSSION
The width of the Convention Center corridor inside the building foyer is 33
feet (16.5' each side of the centerline). However, the limestone columns on
the exterior of the building reduce the visibility corridor to a width of 27
feet.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above information, we feel the visibility corridor should be
established at 27 feet or 13.5 feet on each side of the centerline of the
Convention Center corridor.
