The Iowa DOT has two public meetings planned next week.
- The first, Tuesday at the United school, is the next step in relocating IA 17 off the Lincoln Highway east of Boone. As I write this, the new plan is not up, but here’s a link to my blog post from last year about the options being considered.
- The second, Wednesday at the maintenance garage at the I-80 Moscow exit, is a “corridor study” of a less-than-10-mile stretch of I-80. I suspect this is the first (or, really, approximately the negative-first on a scale of 1 to 5) step in six-laning I-80 in the area, since the Cedar River bridge is the first place on I-80 in rural Iowa that got that consideration. The accompanying “what happens in a field study” video is the animated-drawing-on-a-whiteboard style that reminded me of Weird Al’s “Mission Statement,” so to spice up an otherwise dry post I’ll include that instead.
