Chapter 6: Intermodal Transportation Emphasizes on Freight Transportation C H A P T E R 6 : INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER CONTENTS Truck Air and Passenger Air Intercity Bus Rail Government Air Intermodal Passenger Rail Waterborne Freight Recommendations Chapter 6: Intermodal Transportation emphasizes on freight transportation. Throughout the ten sections in this chapter, freight transportation, truck, rail, passenger rail, air and passenger rail, Government air, waterborne freight, intercity bus, intermodal, and a series of short and long- term policy recommendations are discussed. T RUCK C U R R E N T F ACILITIES Interstate 29 is the major transportation route going through SIMPCO’s MPO planning area. I- 29 provides a north/ south route for automobile, truck, and bus traffic from Sioux City into North and South Dakota, western Iowa, eastern Nebraska, and Missouri. It connects with I-90 to the north at Sioux Falls, I-80, and I-35 at Omaha and Kansas City, respectively. Other interstates that primarily serve the MPO include I-129, US 20, US 75, and US 77. US 75 and US 77 run north/south through Iowa and Nebraska, and US 20 runs east/west across Iowa and Nebraska. Figure 6.1 provides a summary of the major highways in the metropolitan area and regional connections these highways provide.

There are several meat processing plants in vicinity, resulting in a large percentage of truck traffic transporting live animals to be slaughtered and processed. Such trips are approximately 100 miles, traveling from neighboring farms in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. As with any metropolitan area, the other major freight category includes traffic servicing the consumptive needs of the MPO area itself with commodities such as: foodstuffs, electronics, manufactured furniture, clothing, and other products. Le Mars, IA, located northeast of Sioux City, is home to Wells Dairy and major dairy products are transported on the primary network throughout the MPO area. These products are transported in all directions of the United States and overseas via airports such as Eppley Airfield in Omaha, NE. Corn, soybeans, fertilizers, and other agricultural commodities, as well as manufactured items, are frequently transported throughout the MPO area. Long distance truck transportation poses additional demands on the region’s roadways. As mentioned above, I-29 serves the region and is a major corridor not only for the MPO region but also for NAFTA traffic from Mexico and the Southeast, to central and western Canada. This traffic is anticipated to grow, particularly with the rise of Alberta as a significant energy and manufacturing center. Truck traffic from Minnesota to the Southwest and Mexico also places heavy demands, particularly along the Iowa Highway 60 corridor. Freight facilities and warehouses within the region include Big Soo Terminal, Burlington Junction Railroad, Cloverleaf Cold Storage, L.G. Everist, Le Mars Public Storage Inc., Big Soo Warehouse, Heyl Truck Lines, Jacobson Companies, and Nor-Am Cold Storage.

The truck annual average daily traffic (AADT) is represented by increasing thickness of line representing increasing AADT. The truck routes throughout the MPO area have a high AADT of just over 6,000 interstates, highways, and major arterials.

INRIX has a Bottleneck Ranking tool that uses recorded speeds, acquired by tracking cell phone and global positioning systems data, to determine if a section of roadway is indeed a bottleneck. Bottleneck conditions are determined by comparing the current reported speed to the reference speed for each segment of road. Reference speed values are provided for each segment and represent the 85th percentile observed speed for all time periods with a maximum value of 65 mph. If the reported speed falls below 60 percent of the reference, the road segment is flagged as a potential bottleneck. If the reported speed stays below 60 percent for five minutes, the segment is confirmed as a bottleneck location. Locations were considered freight bottlenecks if they were identified by INRIX and also had at least 30 percent truck traffic or 5,000 trucks per day. There are two locations identified within the MPO area: I-29 N/S @ I-129/U.S. 20/U.S. 75/exit 144 and I-29 N/S @ Old Iowa 75/Industrial Rd/exit 143. Including a total of 3-4 locations identified in Woodbury County: I- 29 N/S @ I-129/U.S. 20/U.S. 75/exit 144, I-29 N/S @ Old Iowa 75/Industrial Rd/exit 143, I-29 N/S @ exit 134, and I-29 N/S @ Iowa 141/exit 127. More in depth information about bottleneck locations can be found in the State Freight Plan on pages 123-127. C H A L L E N G E S Based on FHWA estimates, Iowa’s transportation system facilitated the movement of approximately 1.1 billion tons of freight with an estimated value exceeding $563 billion to, from, and within the state in 2012. The State Freight Plan indicates that a total value of goods imported into and exported out of Iowa is expected to grow from $468 billion in 2012 to $715 billion (a growth of 52.6 percent) in 2040. Freight that has both an origin and destination in the state is expected to grow by 27.8 percent in weight and 30.5 percent in value from 2012 to 2040. A total of 48.9 million tons worth $32 billion is projected to travel to, from, and within the Sioux City region by 2045. Highway freight is expected to comprise a slightly smaller share of overall value, from 77 percent in 2014 to 73 percent in 2045. SIMPCO MPO’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan 6-4 C H A P T E R 6 : INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION Many of the SIMPCO region’s roads, bridges, railways, barge terminals, and other infrastructure critical to the movement of freight are in need of significant structural improvements. In a study done by Transportation for America in 2013, Iowa’s bridges ranked the third-worst nationally in terms of the overall percentage of structurally deficient bridges. However, major roads used to transport freight have improved greatly in the SIMPCO MPO in the last 20 years. In 2020 there was a pandemic due to COVID-19 virus which has impacted transportation in many forms. Rural transit ridership has fallen 85-90%, with a similar decrease for the metro transit ridership. Statewide traffic data has shown a significant reduction in travel of 47%. The impact to air travel has been similar to what is seen in transit, and there is an ongoing issues with freight movement that has been exacerbated by the current situation (higher demand than ability to move supply).

  • A Model of Excellence for Weekly Newspapers in Iowa
    A MODEL OF EXCELLENCE FOR WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS IN IOWA A THESIS Presented to The School of Journalism and Mass Comunication DRAKE UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Mass Communication by AMY K. DUNCAN MAY 1994 A MODEL OF EXCELLENCE FOR WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS IN IOWA By Amy Duncan Approved by Committee: . Professor Michael Perkins Dr. Louis Wolter Acting Dean of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication A MODEL OF EXCELLENCE FOR WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS IN IOWA An abstract of a thesis by Amy K. Duncan May 1994 Drake University Advisor: Professor Herbert Strentz Weekly newspapers are what people read to find out their local news. While The Des Moines Register and the like cover the "big" news of the day - Haiti, Somalia, health care -it is the weekly newspapers that bring people the most local news - city council reports, the features on local heroes and the information on how the "big" news affects their small communities. But there is little in existing research to tell us what exactly is the charge of weekly newspapers, and even less telling us how well they live up to this charge. This thesis starts by reporting the results of a survey of 100 editors of Iowa weekly newspapers to determine which weekly newspapers in Iowa are considered the best, what the best weekly newspapers in Iowa do well, and what all weekly newspapers in Iowa do well. From the responses to this survey, it is easy to determine that Iowa weekly &tors believe that weekly newspapers should present mostly local news, they should do it honestly and accurately, and they should package it attractively.

  • October 3, 2019 SUBJECT: Beltline Trail Interlocal Agreement with City of Omaha and Omaha Municipal Land Bank
    MEMORANDUM TO: Programs, Projects, and Operations Subcommittee FROM: Eric Williams, Natural Resources Planner DATE: October 3, 2019 SUBJECT: Beltline Trail Interlocal Agreement with City of Omaha and Omaha Municipal Land Bank The purpose of this Interlocal Agreement is to specify the terms and conditions upon which the City of Omaha, Omaha Municipal Land Bank, and the NRD will collaborate to design, develop, construct, operate and maintain the Beltline Trail. This project is generally located from Hamilton Street at Military Ave, to 31st and Sprague Street. The corridor of the former railroad known as the “Omaha Beltline” has been vacant for multiple decades, and has been repeatedly identified in planning documents as a potential location for development of a combined recreation and active transportation corridor. The most comprehensive work on this concept was completed in 2012 by the nonprofit design group Emerging Terrain, but no action was taken on land acquisition or construction on any of the former railroad property. Creation of the Omaha Municipal Land Bank provided an organization with the specific purpose “to serve as a catalyst for transforming distressed properties into community assets.” Beginning in 2017, NRD staff met with the Land Bank and other organization to discuss what steps would be necessary to move forward with the concept of the trail corridor. A preliminary design document highlighted that strategic acquisition of properties from relatively few owners would allow for connection between many major community features; Walnut Hill Elementary School, City Sprouts (nonprofit community garden), Omaha Permaculture, King Elementary School, Adams Park, Malcolm X Memorial Foundation, North Omaha Transit Center.
