Dear Mr. Zaremba:

Last fall (2007) the city’s Engineering staff met with you to discuss possible future improvements at the intersection of 9^th and Iowa. This intersection is very congested and unique. As vehicles approach the intersection on Iowa from the south there is a “spur” for motorists to take east to 9^th Street. City staff discussed that when improvements are made to the Iowa/9^th Street intersection one option would be to trade/swap the right-of-way of this spur for property adjacent to the intersection. This option would be mutually beneficial to the city and adjacent property owners providing both parties additional space to make improvements.

No commitments have been made as to the nature of the improvements or possible schedules.

If you have additional questions, please contact Charles F. Soules, Director of Public Works, 832-3124.

Sincerely,

David L. Corliss

City Manager
