In January of 2016, a Record of Decision was signed for the Eastern Hills Drive project. This completed a 7-year process for the documentation required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The Steven Road East project will construct Cedar Lane from 900 ft. west of Eastern Hills Drive to 2,200 feet west on existing alignment and then 2,300 feet southwest on new alignment to State Orchard Road. A 10 foot wide paved trail will be included on the south side of Cedar Lane\Steven Road.
The project received Federal funding from a $3.5M appropriation and $10.2M in earmarks. A previously approved funding agreement (Transportation Federal Aid Agreement No. 04-18-HDP-5) authorized Iowa DOT to administer the project. Federal funds support 80% of the improvement costs with the remaining 20% shared by the City of Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County. The City’s match will be paid using sales tax funds.
| The project schedule is as follows: |
