Dear Senator Rielly:
THE C[TY OF ~~-
DUB E
March 20, 2007
The City of Dubuque has been made aware of legislation to increase transportation
funding in the State of Iowa through the creation of the Transportation Investment
Moves the Economy in the 21St Century (TIME-21) fund.
The City of Dubuque recognizes the need for additional funding for the Iowa
Department of Transportation as detailed in their recent departmental review. The State
of Iowa, the City of Dubuque and Dubuque County have pressing transportation needs,
the most obvious of which is the construction of IA32-Southwest Arterial.
We urge you to support the creation of the TIME-21 fund with the 20% distribution for
cities and the 20% distribution to counties.
Transportation infrastructure is the most significant component of a healthy, growing
economy. The City of Dubuque fully supports the development of TIME 21 and has
already sent letters of support to our legislators.
Sincerely,
~Ki~~ `t:'vl ,
