STAFF ACTION

OFFICE:  Transportation Inventory

STAFF ACTION NUMBER: S-83-054

SUBMITTED BY:  Patrick R. Cain

SUBMITTAL DATE: 7-19-82

 

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND:

 

Iowa 162 begins at Pammel State Park approximately three and ½ miles southwest of the City of Winterset and travels northerly to a junction with Iowa 92 approximately 1 ½ miles west of the City of Winterset.

 

The park officer at Pammel State Park has expressed concern of evident con­fusion of semi trucks turning south on Iowa 162 (two to three trucks per week) while apparently looking for US 169 approximately 1 ¼ miles east of Iowa 162. It is very difficult for these vehicles to turn around. Due to the inconvenience caused by the closeness of route numbers, Iowa 162 should be re-designated as Iowa 322 to eliminate this confusion.

 

PROPOSAL/ACTION RECOMMENDATION:

 

It is recommended to approve deleting the present description of Iowa 162 in Madison County from the primary road system and approve including the attached new description of Iowa 322 in the primary road system.

 

Remove Iowa 162 in Madison County, Iowa, as follows:

 

Beginning at the entrance of Pammel State Park at a point approxi­mately 1400 feet south of the NW Corner Section 15‑T75N‑R28W; thence in a northeasterly direction through Sections 15 and 10‑T75N‑R28W to a point approximately 1300 feet west of the E ¼ Corner Section 10‑T75N‑R28W; thence north following substantially the east quarter section line of Sections 10 and 3‑T75N‑R28W to a point approximately 1300 feet west of the NE Corner Section 3‑T75N‑R28W (junction Iowa 92).
