ITEM 5.A. | Council Action: 1/13/2025 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
Ordinance to amend Title 10 Streets and Sidewalks of the 2020 Municipal Code of Council Bluffs, Iowa, by amending Chapter 10.40 "House Numbering-Street Signs" by enacting new Section 10.40.067 to be entitled as "Cedar Lane (Portion)-Redesignated". |

| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
The Steven Road project constructed a new urban collector road from Norwood Drive to Eastern Hills Drive, completing a connection between Forrest Glen Subdivision and Hills of Cedar Creek Subdivision. The new roadway supports future land development, increases the transportation system capacity to accommodate traffic demands, and improves emergency access.
The final west segment was opened to traffic in October of 2024.
The first phase of construction included improvements to a portion of Cedar Lane, before transitioning to a new alignment. This transition area has resulted in a confusing street name change that occurs while driving along the road. The change from Steven Road to Cedar Lane does not occur at an intersection, and without any variation in roadway characteristics.
To make the street names more uniform and less confusing to drivers, Public Works is proposing a change in name. Please see attached map.
The street name change will result in two address modifications along the route. 5211 Cedar Lane will become 941 Steven Road, and 5721 Cedar Lane will become 1157 Steven Road.
