SUBJECT:
FY 2006 REAP Grant Approved for Iowa 32 Bike/Hike Trail (Phase 1)
On October 13, 2005, the Iowa Natural Resources Commission approved the City of
Dubuque's $200,000 grant application for Phase 1 of the Iowa 32 (Northwest Arterial)
Bike/Hike Trail. Dubuque's application was ranked third out of the nine large cities
applying for FY 2006 REAP (Resource Enhancement and Protection) funds.
The Iowa 32 Bike/ Hike Trail project is nearly 5 miles of a 10-foot wide off-road trail
along Iowa 32 from just north of U. S. 20 (Dodge Street) to the planned extension of the
Dubuque County Heritage Trail just east of the intersection of U.S. 52 /Iowa 386 (John
Deere Road). Preliminary grading for the trail was included in the expansion of Iowa 32
from 2 lanes to 4 lanes between U.S. 20 and Kennedy Road, and in the extension of
Iowa 32 from Kennedy Road to U.S. 52. The City has budgeted $178,020 in ORA
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 Kennedy Road with Iowa 32. The estimated project cost for Phase 1 is
$237,360. A project location map is attached.
