Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

This project provides funds for an annual program to install curb ramps at various locations throughout the city in conjunction with the Public Works 5 centerline mile asphalt overlay program in Fiscal Year 2024 and also in the following years. This program is managed by the Engineering Department and coordinated with the Public Works Department's asphalt overlay program. In July of 2013, the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) received additional information from the Federal Department of Justice further clarifying what constitutes resurfacing. Based on these clarifications, as of January 1, 2014, any alterations to an existing street's crosswalk, including asphalt resurfacing and "mill and fill" projects, require that existing curb ramps adhere to the latest ADA standards. While many of these corners have existing ramps, only a few of Dubuque's streets and alleys have curb ramps that meet current ADA standards. This project ensures that each intersection would be retrofitted with ADA-mandated curb ramps when a street receives a maintenance overlay. With the installation and upgrade to the ADA curb ramps as part of the asphalt overlay program, we improve accessibility for those with disabilities in our community as well as pedestrians seeking to travel the streets and sidewalks safely. This project is included in the city’s fy 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. As of July 15, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
