Street Flooding at 10th and Russell St. Memorial Day 2013
The project is currently in the design phase with a goal of being ready for the bid process sometime in late spring early summer 2014.  City staff along with project engineers are also working with property owners in the neighborhood of the project to obtain the necessary easement and land acquisitions that will be needed to complete the project.  Formal land acquisition can not occur until the State of Iowa has done a historical review and approved the project from a perspective of damaging historical and cultural assets, this is underway currently and we hope that this will be completed by April 1, 2014.

Stay tuned to the blog and project web page for more information as the project moves forward.
