Site work and paving for a road / highway in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

As follow-up to the Central Avenue Streetscape Master Plan, this project will provide funds for implementation of recommendations in the plan, such as transit stops, beautification efforts, etc. in the area between 11th and 22nd Streets. The Corridor is beginning to see private investment in building improvements and business location. The implementation of public infrastructure improvements is needed to support and leverage that private investment by creating a more pedestrian-friendly corridor and attracting residents from other areas of the community. It is anticipated that this project may have an impact on operating costs associated with infrastructure improvements, although those costs are unknown until the specific amenities to be added to the corridor are identified. These costs will be integrated into the budgets of other departments whose staff will be maintaining these improvements, as progress is made. Engineering is submitting a request for FY23 funds for a traffic study and for streetscape design. This FY23 request will purchase "moveable" amenities identified in the design phase, such as benches, trash receptacles, etc. This effort addresses the Comprehensive Plan goal of creating walkable, mixed-use areas. This project is included in the city's fy 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of November 4, 2024, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).

Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
