ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
A number of transportation related projects were
submitted to and approved by the Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization Executive Committee at their January 29, 2009 meeting for funding
under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The funding request for McKinley Avenue resurfacing from South
Union Street to Fleur Drive was approved,
and the Iowa DOT has prepared an agreement for the proposed improvement,
which consists of milling the existing roadway and resurfacing with hot mix
asphalt. This project will be constructed
in the summer of 2009. The receipt
of this and other transportation stimulus funds has allowed an acceleration of
street projects. The local share of
transportation stimulus funds must be funded out of existing street CIP funds. The STR222 account requires a transfer of
$75,000 from STR212, McKinley Avenue Widening, to cover anticipated local
costs. Sufficient funds are available in
STR212 as it also received stimulus funds.
