The Iowa Department of Transportation is requesting public input for proposed improvements on Iowa 8 in Tama County.
OK, pertinent to my interests.
The proposed project includes the removal and replacement of an existing 12’ x 4’ box culvert under Iowa 8 at Rock Creek, 0.4 miles west of the west junction with Iowa 21 in Tama County.
The creek in question does not appear to be there in the real world; it looks much more like a waterway. This spot appears to be a branch of the water feature whose course starts to flow west of V Avenue, is channelized between there and IA 21, then flows northeast to eventually join the Cedar River east of La Porte City.
Anyway, the DOT is having the requisite public input period (PDF ad here) and it’ll happen next year. At least the project wasn’t going on when I was commuting last August.
