BICYCLE LANES. The Dubuque City Council during the first week of June, 2024 unanimously approved a bicycle lane pilot program as part of an estimated $250,000 citywide pavement striping project program done regularly to maintain its streets. The bicycle lanes would be sprayed on the pavement in July providing bike riders increased protection and visibility as they maneuver through the downtown area.
The pilot program would involve for sections of Ninth Street going downhill from Bluff Street to the east and a parallel section on 19th Street going uphill to the west one block away. The two sections were to be connected by pavement marked for shared bicycle-car traffic going north and south on Main and Elm STREETS. Funding for the project included $25,000 from the Iowa Department of Transportation with the remainder coming from city funds.
As a pilot program, the bicycle lanes would only be temporary.
