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

This project provides for a replacement program of the existing 30-foot white streetlights and some traffic signals located in downtown Dubuque. Currently, there are approximately 60 white streetlights remaining. The project would replace all remaining white poles and install lighting controllers with meters. In certain cases, these would be replaced with historical streetlights. Many of the streetlights in the downtown area were installed in early 1950's. These are the white 30-foot style found along Central, Main, Iowa, Locust and Bluff Streets. Many of these streetlights utilize a direct burial style feed and unique service panel which makes it very difficult and costly to maintain. The new downtown streetlights will be capable of having banners brackets added. This CIP would also fund LED replacement luminaries throughout the City. Currently when street light fixtures burn out, they are replaced with matching style high pressure sodium streetlights. This program would promote the use of high efficiently, long life LED street lighting throughout the City of Dubuque which saves energy and operating expenses. Current locations of interest include the Port of Dubuque Riverwalk, Bridge Lighting locations and miscellaneous subdivision locations. This project also initiates a scheduled replacement of older streetlights throughout the City and will also include the installation of new streetlights when conditions warrant. Currently, the City owns approximately 2,500 streetlights. In many older subdivisions the entire light fixture, base, pole, and conduits need replacing. Currently there are around 60 lights in 24 locations outside of the downtown lights that are in need of replacement. Average cost of reconstruction is around $1,500 to $2,000 each. This project is included in the city's fy 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program.
