Question: Is there a plan to continue the bike/walking path on the riverfront from the 16th Street bridge down to the Shot Tower?
Answer: Currently, plans are in place to extend a trail from the Sycamore Street bridge to 12th Street, City of Dubuque Planning Services Manager Wally Wernimont said in an email.
This trail is part of the city’s long-term goal to connect the 26-mile Heritage Trail system to the Port of Dubuque by going through the Bee Branch corridor and around the 16th Street detention basin, Wernimont said.
“The City will be considering further opportunities to include biking and pedestrian accommodations in future projects in the Downtown and historic Millwork districts to help further achieve this vision,” his email read.
The trail will run along the Alliant Solar Array and is anticipated to be constructed next summer.
