STAFF ACTION NUMBER: S-86-999

SUBMITTED BY:  Patrick R. Cain

SUBMITTAL DATE: 3-3-86

 

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND:

 

US 20 was relocated from the Buchanan‑Black Hawk County line approximately one and one‑half miles south of Jesup easterly to a junction with Iowa 150 at Independence and 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. The official description of US 20 in Buchanan County should be revised to reflect this relocation. The geographic location of the remainder of US 20 in Buchanan County remains unchanged.

 

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.

 

US 20 begins at the Buchanan‑Black Hawk County Line approximately one and one‑half miles south of Jesup and travels easterly via Independence to the Buchanan‑Delaware County Line approximately seven miles southwest of Manchester.

 

PROPOSAL/ACTION RECOMMENDATION:

 

It is recommended to approve revising the description of US 20 in Buchanan County and including the new description in the Primary Road System.
