The Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is in the process of updating the original

\nOpen House: Tower Terrace Road Corridor Management Plan Update
\nTuesday, October 30, 2018; 5 p.m. \u2013 6:30 p.m.
\nHiawatha City Hall, 101 Emmons Street, Hiawatha
\nMeeting in the Community Center (Parking and access in the front of City Hall)
\nOpen House format (come anytime), as well as identical presentations at 5:15 p.m. and 6 p.m.
\nTower Terrace Road has been planned since the 1960s, and evidence of subdivision plats with right-of-way reservations occurred as early as 1977. Years later, this plan is starting to become reality with some roadway segments complete, some in the design process, and some in the planning process.
\nThe purpose of this plan is to revisit the goals and objectives identified in the 2010 plan to confirm their application to the current vision of the jurisdictions along the corridor. Additionally, this plan builds upon and supplements the work originally done for the Tower Terrace Road Corridor Management Plan, taking it to the next step to provide a more robust implementation plan.
\nThe implementation plan includes:
\n\u00b7 Phasing the corridor into financially manageable sized construction projects,
\n\u00b7 Developing conceptual plans and cost estimates for each project,
\n\u00b7 Assigning priority for each project,
\n\u00b7 Identifying funding sources, and
\n\u00b7 Developing an implementation schedule.
\nThis update involves many jurisdictions and agencies, including:
\n\u2022 City of Hiawatha
\n\u2022 City of Robins
\n\u2022 City of Cedar Rapids
\n\u2022 Linn County
\n\u2022 City of Marion
\n\u2022 Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT)
\nPublic participation is an important component of this process because it provides an opportunity for the community and interested stakeholders to help identify what is important to them and share ideas for improvements. Comments submitted from the meeting will be incorporated into the Tower
\nTerrace Road Corridor Management Plan Update. In addition to the two identical presentations, staff and consultants will be located at stations with project information and be available to answer questions and hear feedback.
