Dubuque On-Street Bike Routes and Signage Proposal
Download the Proposal | View the Map
The On-Street Bike Route and Signage Proposal was drafted by the Resilient Community Advisory Commission Transportation and Land Use subcommittee with members of Tri-State Trail Vision and recommended for implementation by the full commission at its November 2021 meeting.
Proposed routes were established using the Tri-State Integrated Walking, Biking, Hiking Network Plan to identify the following:
○ Routes currently used by cyclists but are not part of the official signed network
○ Routes listed in the Trail Plan as high priority for on-street connections but have not been signed
○ Low traffic streets that are parallel to routes identified in the plan and can provide the necessary connections with decreased vehicle/cyclist interaction
The establishment of these routes help to support Complete Streets implementation and provide essential East to West and North to South connections to the existing trail network.
The Local Foods Planning project includes: organizational development, communications, event planning, strategic planning, capacity building, policy analysis, and demonstration projects for Dubuque County and is a partnership between Lovely City, LLC, Wicked River Events and Limestone Bluffs Resource Conservation District.
