The Entertainment District located between 23rd Avenue and I-80/29 and from 24th Street to 35th Street is a premier destination location within the City of Council Bluffs. The area includes the Mid-America Center, Horseshoe Casino, Bass Pro Shop store, and several hotels and restaurants. The recent construction of the Field House and another hotel are adding to the amenities offered in the area.
The parking lots that surround the Mid-America Center are owned by the City. The paving has degraded to the point where maintenance is difficult and there are safety concerns because of the poor condition.
A study was performed in 2011 and updated in 2015, which recommended the replacement of the parking lots. The conceptual plan suggested that the work could be performed in multiple phases over a few years. Proceeding with replacement is now necessary and five phases have been programmed in the CIP. The phase 1 limits are a portion of the parking lot south of the main entrance to the convention center and a portion of the lot west of the U.S. Social Security Administration offices.
This project was included in the FY19 CIP with a budget of $1,000,000 from the General Fund.
The project schedule is as follows:
Construction Start March 2019
Construction End August 2019
