As Dubuque seeks to make its streets more accessible to bikers and pedestrians, it is especially interested in ways to make several major thoroughfares safer. One of these is JFK Road, a major north-south arterial road.

For their capstone design project in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, a team of students will create a plan to encourage pedestrian use and potentially create a new bicycle lane. Their plan will include pedestrian management and traffic flow management.
