Dear Mayor Boul and City Council Members:
I am writing on behalf of the Transit Action Group (TAG). TAG is a committee that the
East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) facilitates comprised of City of
Dubuque and Dubuque County representatives; transit and transportation providers;
general citizens interested in transit; as well as local social service organizations that have
a vested interest in transit in Dubuque and its surrounding area. I have attached a list of
the membership.
The TAG group is an outcome of a grant ECIA administered two years ago funded
through the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) to study transit
at it relates to the fringe areas of Dubuque County and the disabled population. The grant
is complete; however, the group has continued to meet to ensure the grant outcomes are
implemented.
During our meeting held on Friday, January 6,2006, a discussion took place regarding
the Keyline transfer location/drop off location at the Dubuque Kennedy Mall. As the
TAG group understands it, the current location where riders are being dropped at
Kennedy Mall, which is no longer the Kennedy Mall main entrance, is not handicap
accessible and not ADA compliant. Additionally, the TAG has concerns about the
transfer point at Kennedy Mall being changed which may result in additional problems
for the riders especially as it relates to accessibility and the availability of sidewalks. The
TAG is asking for the City Council to consider the transfer/drop point at Kennedy Mall
as it relates to providing ADA compliant accessibility as well as alternate transfer points
near Kennedy Mall and how those locations relate to the City of Dubuque's sidewalk
ordinance.
Thank you for your time and consideration on behalf of the Transit Action Group.
Should you have any questions, I can be reached at 563-556-4166.
Sincerely,
,-)
