AMERICAN LEGION ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
SCOTT BOULEVARD TO TAFT AVENUE
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Iowa City is planning to reconstruct American Legion Road from Scott
Boulevard to Taft Avenue. Planned improvements include:
• New pavement with curb and gutter
• Roundabout at Scott Boulevard
• On-street bike lanes
• Pedestrian facilities
• Underground utilities
The new roadway corridor will have one travel lane in each direction, on-street
bikes lanes on both sides of the roadway, a shared-use path, sidewalks, and a
pedestrian underpass near Hoover Elementary School.
The project will also support the projected growth within the southeast quadrant
of the City by upgrading the roadway infrastructure to current arterial design
standards.
