Scope : Port of Dubuque Flood Wall Dubuque Welcome Sign
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/JUSTIFICATION : This project provides for the design, development, and installation of an 8 foot by 200 foot "Welcome to Dubuque" sign located on the flood wall near the Ice Harbor flood gates. There is currently no signage along the river to let patrons know that they have either arrived or are passing by Dubuque. Such a sign on the wall would not only be a welcoming visual for those visiting on cruise ships or other vessels but can create awareness on the river that this is an area they may approach in order to visit the City. This sign could also indirectly filter boat traffic into the Port of Dubuque Marina to dock and/or fuel. Included in this CIP would be the purchase and installation of solar lighting with a 5-year replacement cost of $3,500.
