North End Neighborhood Association Petition_Lighting ProjectNORTH END NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION
To: City of Dubuque
From: NENA Board of Directors
Subject: Invitation to Collaborate on Street Lighting Project
Date: April 28, 2014
Greetings!
For over four decades now, the North End Neighborhood Association (NENA) has steadfastly
and consistently worked with our neighbors, the City, and other Dubuque residents for the
preservation and betterment of our North End neighborhoods. Our motto is "Clean, Quiet, and
Safe." NENA continues to serve as a sounding board and advocate for residents who have
legitimate concerns, and we are delighted to include our friends and associates from City
government and the state legislature among our participants.
One such issue we hear about year after year is the deep concern regarding the insufficient street
lighting in the 2500 block of Jackson Street, a main thoroughfare for both vehicles and
pedestrians. The attached petition contains several dozen signatures of residents on or around this.
block; it verifies the extremely dark nighttime conditions and our desire for better lighting there.
It is our understanding that recent technological advances reduce the operating cost by at least 50
to 70 percent and that the initial outlay is relatively modest.
NENA wholeheartedly supports the City Life program and we would like to propose a
collaborative effort between the City and NENA to contrive an acceptable solution to this
problem — sort of a "Take the lemon and make lemonade" approach, if you will. We feel a
synergism is possible in this case by combining the forward thinking and broad expertise that
exists in City government with the knowledge, skills, and experience of NENA members.
We look forward to a continuing good relationship with the City of Dubuque, and are eager to
begin this effort.
Respectfully submitted,
Chuck Harris

Citizen Petition for Street Lighting Improvement
in the 2500 Block of Jackson Street
To: The City of Dubuque
Date: f l
We, the undersigned, are residents of the 2500 block of Jackson Street in Dubuque or other
affected persons. We are concerned about what we perceive to be inadequate street
lighting in this block. Jackson Street is either dimly lit or completely dark from dusk to dawn
at the majority of addresses along this block. Technological advances such as LED spot
lighting now allow reduced -cost installation and operating overhead. Therefore, we hereby
request that the City assess new lighting solutions and initiate installation of brighter
nighttime street lighting here.
