Abstract

Our recommendations include the additional taking of certain peripheral property so the neighborhoods may be buffered from the adjacent freeway. In some instances, parts of these properties are recommended to be redeveloped with housing to replace part of the very old, substandard housing removed for the facility. Estimated cost of this additional property taking is $2,300,000. The project has been considered to be a part of the City, rather than simply a traffic facility passing through it. It is recognized that it is without a doubt the single largest and most important capital improvement program the City of Dubuque will see in our time. Its impact on the City and its potential for catalyzing and assisting other improvement programs must be examined very closely and coordination assured.
