Honorable Mayor & City Council
Regarding sidewalk near Arboretum entrance gate
The sidewalk on the east side of Arboretum Drive has been completed and we have
added a sidewalk into the arboretum for walkers to use when the arboretum gate is
closed. The sidewalk has been designed so motorcycles and 4 wheelers cannot
enter, only walkers.
We are asking that the sidewalk on the west side of Arboretum Drive be ended at
the Dennis Hoyer driveway. We do not want people entering on the west side.
There is a tall limestone entrance pillar obstructing their view of oncoming traffic.
F or safety's sake we would like to encourage walkers and young children on bikes
to use the east sidewalk entrance.
We have planted "Golden Raindrop" Flowering Apple trees around the cul-de-sac
as we would like a mass of flowering trees each spring. The area we are talking
about is approximately 120 feet long. We have talked to Dennis Hoyer of 3318
Arrowwood Lane and he would like the same ending of the sidewalk. We would
like to have a beautiful and safe entrance to the Dubuque Arboretum & Botanical
Gardens.
Enclosed is a map showing the entrance road and where the trees are planted.
We would appreciate any assistance you can give to the arboretum.
Sincerely,
".;)~~
