| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
The I-29 construction project has required the use of an arterial road through the west end of the City to keep interstate traffic moving while the project in completed. This has created a heavy traffic flow, with many semi-trailers passing through the City. Such trucks often used compression brakes, or “jake” brakes, in order to stop. This causes a significant increase in noise that has resulted in several complaints to the City. As the arterial road is owned by the Iowa Department of Transportation, they have agreed to post notice and prohibit such braking practices pursuant to an established City ordinance. |
