Mr. Reitzel asks the Board to consider vacating the street right-of-way between their properties. City Administrator Buerck informs the Board that staff has placed this item on the agenda for the Board’s discussion. He explains that the street would probably never be constructed since the park is being developed in the area. He informs Mr. Reitzel and Mr. Wingerter that the City would not survey the property, and if they wanted to have the property surveyed and the corners set, they would need to arrange for that on their own. Next, Mr. Kenneth Dauster, of 211 S. Walnut Street, approaches the Board. He expresses his concerns about students parking along Walnut Street during the day. He informs the Board that approximately 25 cars are parked along the dead end street from 7:30 am to 3:00 pm each school day, which creates an issue for the residents living on the street.

  • Rapid Damage Assessment of Infrastructure Components in the Central United States
    Rapid Damage Assessment of Infrastructure Components in the Central United States Report No. 09-02 Fikri Acar Post-Graduate Research Associate Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign August 2009 ABSTRACT A number of destructive earthquakes have occurred in the central United States on the New Madrid Fault at the beginning of the 19th century. In the eight central U.S. states included in this investigation, rivers intersect major land routes of importance to commodity flow. The Mississippi River, for example, divides the US into two parts, namely the Eastern and Pacific parts. There are many different long-span bridges crossing these rivers. Moreover, most of the major dams were built on these rivers, and at least thousands of storage tanks are located in cities and towns in the central U.S. If earthquakes occurred in the New Madrid seismic area as large as the historic 19th Century series, some of these major structures would likely suffer at least slight-to-moderate damage. Bridge damage would interrupt the transportation network, and floods caused by dams failures would result in further destruction to regions already devastated by earthquake shaking. As part of the ongoing impact assessment project funded by FEMA, this study deals with the rapid damage assessment of these major river crossings (MRCs) and dams, as well as levees and storage tanks that frequently hold hazardous materials. As a result of a broad classification, six types of MRCs, two types of dams and several types of steel storage tanks have been identified. The majority of the bridges fall into the ‘multispan simply supported and continuous steel truss bridges’, while most dams are classified as ‘earth and concrete gravity dams’.

  • Multimodal Transportation Assets, Needs and Recommendations Report
    Delta Regional Authority Multimodal Transportation Assets, Needs and Recommendations Report July 2008 SAFETEA–LU Section 1923 1st Edition Disclaimer: Personnel from various agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation pro- vided information to the Delta Regional Authority during the study which led to this report. Similarly, personnel from such agencies may have made comments regarding factual assertions in various drafts of this report. However, neither the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation nor any of its agencies necessarily endorse this report nor con- cur with any recommendation contained in the report. July 18, 2008 When Congress directed the Delta Regional Authority to prepare a report on the multimodal transportation assets and needs in our region, along with recommendations, we were delighted to take on the task. It fits perfectly into the DRA's role as a planner, coordinator of resources and advocate for the Delta. We also will prepare a strategic plan that's designed to guide the implementation of the recommendations in this report. That task also was directed by Congress in section 1923 of the 2005 national highway act. This report complements our Delta Development Highway System plan, which was released last year. When the DRA was created by Congress in 2000, one of the investment priorities outlined was the transportation infrastructure of the region. We've made numerous infrastructure investments in recent years. With the help of state departments of transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and local stakeholders, the Delta Development Highway System plan was compiled. It identified 3,843 miles of highways slated for improvements at a cost of $18.5 billion.
