STAFF ACTION NUMBER: S-86-1000

SUBMITTED BY:  Patrick R. Cain

SUBMITTAL DATE: 3-3-86

 

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND:

 

US 20 was relocated from the Buchanan-Black Hawk County line approximately 1 ½ miles south of Jesup easterly to a junction with Iowa 150 at Independence.  It was opened to traffic on August 26, 1983.  The Buchanan County Functional Classification Board classified it as Freeway-Expressway and the old alignment of US 20 was classified as Trunk under the State Functional Classification System on October 13, 1985.

 

Transfer of jurisdiction agreement number TJ‑939‑0 (2) ‑‑2M‑10 between the Iowa Department of Transportation and the City of Independence transferred that portion of old US 20 from the west corporation line easterly to the west junction of Iowa 150 and Unsigned Iowa 939 from the east junction of Iowa 150 easterly to the east corporation line to city jurisdiction on April 15, 1985.

 

The old alignment of US 20 from the Buchanan‑Black Hawk County Line at Jesup easterly to the west corporation line of Independence should be re-designated as a portion of Unsigned Iowa 939. The official description of Unsigned Iowa 939 should be revised to reflect these changes. The geographic location of the remainder of Unsigned Iowa 939 in Buchanan County remains unchanged.

 

Unsigned Iowa 939 begins at the Buchanan‑Black Hawk County Line at Jesup and travels easterly to the west corporation line of Independence and from the east corporation line of Independence easterly to a junction with Iowa 187 approximately four miles east of Winthrop.

 

PROPOSAL/ACTION RECOMMENDATION:

 

It is recommended to approve revising the description of Unsigned Iowa 939 in Buchanan County and including the new description in the Primary Road System.
