Complete Streets Policy
Date:
To:
Re:
At the March 19 City Council meeting there was discussion of when the cost of a pedestrian
and/or bicycle facility is defined as excessive. The U.S. Department of Transportation policy
guidance for federal funds states that pedestrian and bicycle facilities need not be required
when the cost of the facilities are excessive; defined as 20% or more over the overall project
cost. Most states and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) I had researched for the
JCCOG Complete Streets Policy use this 20% threshold, either explicitly or as a matter of
internal policy when using federal funds.
Mayor Wilburn had asked specifically about bicycle and pedestrian policies in municipalities that
have been designated as Bicycle Friendly Communities by the League of American Bicyclists.
According to my research with the Thunderhead Alliance, a national bicycle and pedestrian
advocacy organization, most of these cities do not use an explicit percentage to define
excessive cost when using local funds. Unlike states and MPOs, city councils have the authority
over local capital projects. Typical local bicycle and pedestrian policies state that bicycle and
pedestrian facilities are expected to be a part of the design process for street construction and
reconstruction projects. If the cost of a pedestrian/bicycle facility like a bridge or pedestrian
tunnel is deemed to be excessive, the project or certain elements of a project can be delayed
just like any capital project.
As suggested at the March 19 City Council meeting, I have left the minimum cost percentage
which defines excessive cost blank in the resolution. Using a minimum percentage to define the
cost of pedestrian, bicycle, and/or transit facilities as being excessive will give your staff some
guidance as projects are being designed; leaving the definition of "cost compared to the need or
probable use" open to interpretation allows for more flexibility over time.

SIDEWALK INFILL POLICY
March 5, 2007
Assumptions:
. Sidewalks will be required to be installed by developers/property owners
on all streets in all new subdivisions.
. Large sidewalk projects, such as the sidewalk on Highway 1, will be done
as a separate capital project.
. The City Council does not wish to fund infill sidewalk projects by special
assessment.
This policy is to address the filling of gaps in the sidewalk system, and in certain
instances increasing the width of sidewalks from 4' to 8', in the developed
portions of Iowa City. In most cases, this will not address the installation of
sidewalks in those parts of the city where future development is anticipated. An
annual allocation through the CIP is anticipated to fulfill this policy;
implementation will be through a public project and not through assessments.
Factors to consider in prioritizing sidewalk infill projects:
. Potential for timely development by private sector of properties adjacent to
deficient area
. Functional classification of the street with arterials having the highest
priority, then collectors, local streets, and finally culs-de-sac
. Availability of a sidewalk on one side of the street
. Pedestrian volumes in immediate area
. Ease of construction
o Severity of topography and the need for retaining walls
o Sufficiency of right-of-way and the need to acquire property
. Presence of a school in the area such that the street serves as a way to
the school
. Presence of a neighborhood commercial area such that the street serves
as a way to the commercial area
. Service to special populations
. Adverse impacts to private property (other than maintenance/liability
concerns)
. Length of gap
. Proximity to other potential sidewalk projects.

Dubuque Street and Church Street Intersection Improvements
Project
FROM:
Concept Plan Development - Backaround
The development of the current concept plan was initiated in the Fall of 2006 In preparation for
submittal to the Iowa DOT in November 2006.
Work to develop this plan included updating traffic count data for the current peak hour
conditions, and an analysis of current conditions to provide a basis for the scope of improvements
within the budget for the project.
The analysis determined that widening Dubuque Street at the intersection with Church Street will
improve capacity conditions at the intersection. Further capacity improvement will result from
widening (at the intersection) along Church Street. Considering the current oversized width of
Church Street (30' Wide), installation of curb and gutter on either side of Church Street (at the
intersection) was included in this concept plan as an inexpensive means to improve the function
of the intersection.
Concept Plan - Current Revisions
Following direction by City Council on March 20, 2007 we have developed an alternate option to
the Dubuque Street and Church Street Intersection Improvements Project.
Concept Plan A and B are being presented at this time to provide Council with options for
direction of this project. Our department will not begin development of construction plans until
either concept has been accepted by the Council and a neighborhood meeting has been
conducted.
Conc9ot Plan A
. Original concept presented at March 19, 2007 City Council work session
. Concept includes:
)> Installation of iarger radius at NW intersection quadrant
)> Widening Dubuque Street
)> Widening of Church Street (at the Dubuque Street Intersection) by adding curb and
gutter section
)> New traffic signal system
)> New retaining wall aiong west right of way
)> New sidewalk aiong east and west right of way
)> New ADA compliant curb ramps (currently our of compliance) at Church Street and
Dubuque Street intersection
City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Concent Plan A lcontinued\
. The design shown in Concept Plan A will help to reduce the bus turning movement
conflicts at the intersection.
. Widening Dubuque Street with this plan will help to reduce delay and congestion that
occurs along Dubuque Street.
. Widening Church Street at the intersection with Dubuque Street is included in this
concept plan mainly due to an apparent opportunity with this project to make a significant
improvement to existing and future capacity needs along this section of Church Street by
adding a curb section to each side of street at the intersection.
ConceDt Plan B
. The design shown in Concept Plan B is essentially the same improvement plan as shown
in Concept Plan A, however excludes widening of Church Street at the intersection.

Subject: Please do not add turn lanes to Church st
Dear Council,
I was disappointed to read that you are considering adding a turn lane on Dubuque St to Church St. The
strategy seems counter to local traffic calming initiatives and increases the danger of crossing the street
for young children attending Horace Mann. It will certainly increase the already considerable amount
of cut-through traffic in this Northside neighborhood. It will also increase cut-through traffic on Reno,
Bloomington, and Mott (Goosetown Neighborhood).
Please work to keep neighborhoods free on vehicles that should be on arterial streets by not creating
"fast routes" on local streets.
Respectfully,

subject: Church St./Dubuque St. intersection
Concerning the proposed changes to the Church St./Dubuque St. intersection:
The fundamental question which must be addressed first is, "Do we want to increase
traffiic on Church Street?".
If the answer to this question is "yes", then it follows that the council will make
decisions to facilitate more traffic, i.e. improving turn lanes, adding lanes, etc..
If the answer is "no", then it follows that the council will make decisions which will not
increase the traffic flow, i.e. do not improve turn lanes, do not add lanes, etc..
As to the question of liDo we want to increase the traffic flow on Church St.?", my
question would be, why would you want to do this? There is nothing on the section of road
between Church and Governor but residences. Do you really-want to increase traffic on a
residential street when you have an arterial street 3 blocks south on Jefferson.
Church Street is for residences, you know, people living in their neighborhood. It's not
built for, nor meant to move large and larger volumes of traffic.

Church and Dubuque Street
Hello.
As a resident of the Northside neighborhood I am writing to voice my concern with the
addition of a turn lane to the Dubuque/Church street intersection. I see this possible
change as another move towards the demise of the neighborhood character of this area. As
someone who drives through this intersection daily and at various times of the day I fail
to see the need for additional lanes. Please consider the following points when making
your decision about the fate of this intersection and it's neighborhood.
Reasons for additional turn lane.
1. Shorten wait time when turning east from Dubuque onto Church. (This is the only
direction where long wait times occur. For people not wanting to turn, there currently
exists a second south bound lane on which to
proceed. )
Reasons not to add a turn lane.
1. Will encourage additional traffic to Church street, an 8 block, residential, non
arterial street containing the neighborhood elementary school which already has an
arterial street on it's other boarder.
2. Will increase traffic to North Gilbert Street. Driving north and south on this section
of Gilbert is already difficult due to extensive on-street parking. This is not an
arterial street nor should it be.
3. Long wait times do not occur when turning from 3 of the 4 directions.
Turning to the west on Church you hit a brick street with a very sharp turn that leads to
a concentrated pedestrian area where again additional traffic should not be encouraged.
4. As a tax paying citizen, I can certainly think of dozens of other projects where my
money can be better spent.
I honestly question what is driving this move. It is the influence of developers or large
property owners in the area. I'm trying to picture other areas in town where 3rd turn
lanes are present. All seem to be on major roads with turns into areas containing
businesses. This intersection doe not match.
Please vote to leave this intersection alone.

Dubuque/Church Sts. Turning Lane
Dear City Council,
As a parent who will have a child or two at Horace Mann school for the next nine years, I
would not like to see Church Street any busier than it already is. I'm not in favor of
making Church Street a busy artery of automobile traffic. For that reason, I'm not in
favor of adding a left turn lane onto Church from Dubuque. I'd encourage you to think of
other ways to unclog that intersection--for instance, moving the bus stop to beyond,
rather than before, the intersection.
Thank you,

This correspondence will become a public record.
I am writing to voice my opinion on the Church and Dubuque Street intersection.
While I understand the intersection is a busy one - especially at rush hour times, I do not support that more
traffic be directed to Church Street. Church Street is a residential one. These residents consist of both college
students and families with children and pets. Horace Mann has many kids walking to and from school on
Church Street. Having traffic directed to this street would be dangerous for everyone involved, not to mention
an eyesore. The Northside neighborhood is a wonderful one - a mixture of families and college students,
unique homes, a terrific school in Mann, canopying trees, beautiful gardens, and the list goes on. Please don't
diminish these qualities by adding more cars. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Devin Redmond

I am opposed to both of the possible options being considered for the Church and Dubuque
intersection. Both option benefit only motor vehicles, and both will have a detrimental
effect on the northside neighborhood. I do not think Church and Dubuque is a problem
intersection so I hope you will not support changes that will create problems. By
encouraging traffic down Church St., the proposed changes will detract from the
neighborhood, and will go against widely expressed public interest in more pedestrian-
friendly streets.
Yours sincerely,
Judith Pascoe

Subject: Dubuque and Church Streets
I have lived at 824 N. Gilbert Street for the past 22 years. I have just been reading the transcript of the
March 20 City Council meeting as well as an e-mail that originated with comments from Marcia Klingaman. I
hope you will allow me to express some concerns.
During the time that we have lived at this address we have appreciated some of the changes that have
occurred which include the designation of the Brown Street Historic District, the addition of some stop signs at
various intersections in our neighborhood, and the Church Street Conservation District designation. The primary
disruptive activity for us was when Dubuque Street was widened in the 1980's and a whole generation of
motorists found out that Gilbert Street could serve as a detour and alternate route if they didn't want to wait three
minutes to get through on Dubuque Street. Now we face the prospect of another Dubuque Street project which
could encourage more traffic on to our street.
I fail to understand why there need to be turn lanes from Church Street on to Dubuque Street in either
direction. When I travel toward the downtown area I always go to Church Street and then turn left on Dubuque
because I believe that is the intended route our streets were designed for. I rarely have to wait more than 30
seconds to make that left hand turn on to Dubuque. I fail to understand why Church Street needs to be enhanced
to encourage additional traffic when Jefferson Street functions very well as a primary east bound arterial street.
The transcript of the March 20 Council meeting frequently refers to a plan for 200 foot long turn lanes while the e-
mail from Ms. Klingaman says the proposed turn lanes are only 100 feet long. I would hope there will be
clarification to our elected representatives and to our citizenry as to exactly what your office is proposing for that
intersection.
I also fail to understand why the left turn arrow concept for southbound Dubuque Street traffic turning east
on to Church is apparently not considered viable? The concept seems to work reasonably well at the intersection
of South Gilbert and Kirkwood. The only potential left turn delays of consequence that I have observed at
Church/Dubuque is the southbound Dubuque on to Church. Why not have a traffic light which allows southbound
traffic a few seconds to proceed with a left turn arrow before allowing the northbound traffic to proceed? I would
think that experiment would cost far less than a major street construction project.
Reading the transcript causes me to believe that this issue arises primarily out of a concern for the ability
of Dubuque southbound Cambus to turn west on Church. Though I rarely observe a huge problem there myself (I
frequently am at this intersection during rush hour as I travel into campus to retrieve my wife after I leave work at
Oakdale), would it be feasible to move the stop line for east bound Church street traffic so vehicles would not stop
so close to the intersection?
My selfish concern is that we try to find a way not to have to close off any or all of Dubuque Street to do a
construction project which will result in more traffic traveling up Gilbert Street. My taxpayer concern is that we
ensure we are finding ways to address a perceived problem in the least expensive manner possible. My human
nature concern is that motorists will take advantage of any opportunities they are given to speed. Traffic
engineers apparently decided it would be a good idea to put a time delay from when a red light comes on in one
direction before the green light goes on in another direction. This simply changed motorists from running yellow
lights to now running red lights. Making the initial proposed changes to Dubuque/Church will, I fear, simply
encourage motorists to speed through the various options offered them and could actually increase accidents.
4/2/2007

Page 20f2
In sum, please consider doing a simple left turn light from southbound Dubuque to eastbound Church with
a few seconds of travel time before northbound Dubuque Street travel is allowed to proceed. And please
consider backing up eastbound Church Street traffic so that it must stop further west of the ChurchlDubuque
intersection.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Church and Dubuque
Hello:
As a follow up to my email of a couple of weeks ago I wish to thank the council for delaying a vote on the Church
and Dubuque intersection projecl.
Since this proposal came to my attention I have observed other areas of town with turn lanes. Almost without
exception, turn lanes are on major arterial streets that front large businesses containing large parking lots and
extensive turning traffic, or contain several major intersections with other arterial streets. Examples are 1 st
Avenue (Hy-Vee Drug, Hy-Vee, Walgreen's, several strip malls), Riverside Dr., Burlington, Highway 1, Highway 6,
Mormon Trek, North Dodge and Melrose Ave. The only exception I noticed is Kirkwood Ave at the intersection
with S. Summil. However, the Kirkwood-Summit intersection functions as a major connection between the central
city and Lower Muscatine and the SE side, with very large businesses at one end (Oral B, Sycamore Mall,
Kirkwood Comm. College, Eastdale Plaza and P&G). The intersection at Dodge and Bowery also comes to mind,
which in my opinion is a pretty good example of how to contribute to the degradation of a neighborhood.
Church street is 7 blocks from Dubuque to Governor, and contains an elementary school and no businesses.
There is simply no comparison between the above mentioned streets and Church StlDubuque SI. There are no
strip malls and no large businesses fronting Dubuque SI. or Church SI. There are no large businesses at either
end of Church SI. The Ace Hardware store fronts Dodge St., not Church SI. Dubuque and Church is not an
intersection of two major arterials, unless it's the council's desire to make it one. Please don'1.
The language of the proposal dated March 26 includes the following: "..... .improve capacity conditions at the
intersection. Further capacity improvement will result from widening (at the intersection) along Church SI." This
leads me to conclude the goal of the project is to increase traffic (what other meaning can the term 'capacity'
have?) on Church SI. I will not restate all my prior concerns as this is already in the public record, but it is clear
from the text of the oro1>05al the goal is not to accommodateexistinqJraffic butto facilitate increased car traffic in
this ilreEL
It is my opinion this project is unnecessary and a significant waste of taxpayer money. The time to stop this Js
NOW. If you as council members vote to proceed there will be little our neighborhood can do in the future other
than beg for consideration of a few minor changes. Please vote against both concept A and concept B. Save our
tax dollars for something else (such as widening Dubuque at Market andlor Jefferson where heavy turning traffic
already exists), orhere's an even better idea. don'tllend the monev at all and Clive_the tiix Ilaver..a break

I understand the City Council will be voting on Tuesday in regard to a plan to widen the
intersection at Church and Dubuque streets. I would like to express my concern for this
matter. Such a decision would increase the traffic on Church Street. Northside and
Goosetown Neighborhoods are quiet areas where the kids can safely play and ride their

If this plan is approved I worry for the safety of Church Street and children at Horace

Dear City Council members,
I am concerned about the proposals to widen the Church and Dubuque Streets intersection. I think that more
study, especially related to impact and relationship with Central District Planning, and more community input
should be gathered before reaching a decision. Therefore, I urge the Council to defer this item to a later date.
Personally, I would support the addition of a left turn arrow on the traffic signal while maintaining the existing
streeVintersection configuration. The only construction alteration that I would support would be a wider curb
curve (as indicated by tire ruts in the parking and tire marks on the sidewalk) at the northwest corner of the
intersection so that Cambus could actually make the right turn from southbound Dubuque onto westbound
Church.
Thank you for your consideration of my comments.

Mayor and Council Members,
I would like to state my opposition to the proposed widening project
at the Dubuque St./Church St. intersection. I believe this will
ultimately re-direct more traffic onto Church Street. Church Street
is residential east of Dubuque St. and is not intended to be an
arterial street. I am concerned about increasing traffic in a
residential neighborhood, particularly given the proximity to Horace
Mann Elementary and the increased risk this poses to young children
who walk to school. Thank you for your consideration.
