Proposed Development Agreement Include Traffic Improvements

Dubuque city officials are proposing an agreement to share the costs of making necessary traffic improvements near a planned $12 million project creating retail and office space. Under the proposed development agreement, the city and Switch Development LLC would each pay a portion of the estimated $610,000 in traffic improvements at the intersection of John F. Kennedy Road and West 32nd Street, including widening lanes, installing traffic signals, turning lanes and underground utilities and placing crosswalks and curb ramps. Matt Mulligan, the head of Switch Development, said ground was broken on the project in November, and he plans to complete the building by the middle of 2024.
