  • Supplemental Report on the Studies And
    PROPERTY OF Iowa DOT library HOWAFIO NEEOLES TAMMEN & BEFIGENOOFF January 24, 1975 Mr. Raymond L. Kassel Deputy Chief Engineer of Planning Iowa State Highway Commission Ames, Iowa 50010 Dear Mr. Kasse 1: We respectfully submit herewith our Supplemental Report on the studies and investigations of the construction of two new Mississippi River Toll Bridges at Dubuque, Iowa and the imposition of tolls in the present Julien Dubuque Bridge. The new bridges are known as the City Is land Bridge and the Route 520 Bridge. · Summary and Recommendations The following conclusions and recommendations are based upon Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff's estimated project costs and the traffic and revenue estimates prepared by Wilbur Smith & Associates, Inc., as presented in this report and previous reports and.studies. 1. Constructing the City Island Bridge as a four-lane toll facility with the existing Eagle Point Bridge as a private toll facility, and with the Julien Dubuque Bridge remaining "free", and with no additional river crossings in the area is not a feasible alternate. 2. Constructing the City Island Bridge as a four-lane toll facility; constructing the Route 520 bridge as a two­ lane toll facility; and imposing tolls on the existing Julien Dubuque Bridge appears to warrant more detailed structure cost and traffic-revenue studies. Authority and Purpose of Supplemental Report On September 18, 1974, the Iowa State Highway Commission authorized Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff, with Wilbur Smith & Associates, Inc., as a sub-contractor, to perform engineering services related to ~tpdating the October, 1968 study of Mississippi River Toll Bridges of Dubuque, Iowa.

By TING XUAN TAN [email protected] Underage patrons leaving the bars at 10 p.m. may not be as large of an issue as originally perceived. At University of Iowa Partnership for Alcohol Safety meeting on Wednesday, many topics were brought up, but the main area of discussion was the 10 p.m. spill-out from bars. In the large cities, huge crowds leaving is not a problem, but in downtown Iowa City, there may be a small-town mentality, said Shelly Campo, a UI associate professor of community and behav- ioral health. She said people think the crowds should not happen, except at Hancher events. “I think that there is a little bit of bias about you know, [when] peo- ple aren’t allowed to have fun and leave in large groups,” Campo said.
