Background/Discussion
The Iowa DOT offers a federal funding program called Iowa’s Clean Air Attainment Program (ICAAP). The program funds projects which help maintain Iowa clean air quality by reducing transportation-related emissions. The program funding allows up to 80% federal dollars with a minimum 20% local match.
The East Broadway Realignment at Kanesville Boulevard project involved reconfiguration of the intersection to allow right turn on red and left turn on green ball movements. By “squaring up” the intersection and eliminating one of the left turn lanes from the dual left, these new movements are now provided. This significantly reduces the delay times for vehicles.
The Council Bluffs Water Works will include water line reconstruction as part of this project. The cost of this work was $160,538.51 and will be 100% reimbursed by CBWW.
The project was included in the FY15 CIP as ICAAP Project, FY15-20B, East Broadway Realignment at Kanesville Blvd (US Hwy 6).
ICAAP will provide $475,000 in federal funding. The City’s match is $226,391.38 and will be paid using sales tax funds.
