The REAP Committee has requested the City of Dubuque's update for the FY 2006

input from Leisure Services Manager Gil Spence.
FY 2006 REAP Grant Application

foot wide off-road trail along Iowa 32 (Northwest Arterial) from U. S. 20 to the planned
extension of the Dubuque County Heritage Trail just east of the U.S. 52/lowa 386
(John Deere Road) intersection. Preliminary grading for the trail was included in the
expansion of Iowa 32 from 2 lanes to 4 lanes between U.S. 20 and John F. Kennedy
Road, and in the extension of Iowa 32 from Kennedy Road to U.S. 52. The City has
budgeted $178,020 in DRA Distribution funds for the entire 5-mile trail, with an
estimated project cost of $593,400.
Phase 1 of the Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail is approximately 2 miles of off-road trail along
the southerly side of Iowa 32 from the County's planned extension of the Heritage Trail
to U.S. 52 and Iowa 386 (John Deere Road), west to the intersection of West 32nd
Street and John F. Kennedy Road with Iowa 32. The estimated project cost for Phase 1
is $237,360. The attached REAP grant application is for the maximum of $200,000.
City Representative on REAP Committee
The current City representative on the REAP Committee is City Council Member Joyce
Connors. I will inform the REAP Committee Chairperson that since confirmation of the
City's representative will not be made until the August 1 City Council meeting, all REAP
Committee correspondence should be sent to City Clerk Jeanne Schneider.
Recommendation
