Background/Discussion
Located along West Broadway, there was a shared fiber optic communication system. The fiber was installed for use by the Iowa DOT, Iowa Communications Network (ICN) and the City of Council Bluffs. The location of these facilities were in conflict with the improvements for West Broadway and required relocation.
This project installed new fiber optic cable along Avenue A from approximately 19th Street to 15th Street and along 16th Street from Avenue B to 2nd Avenue. The new facilities will be used by the City to communicate with traffic signals and pump stations, and to support the public Wi-Fi network. IDOT and ICN have installed alternate facilities and will no longer share the fiber along Avenue A.
