re: Parks' Recreation BroClNroda te: February 20, 1991
I thouqht you should know that a cithon's cOllllllont at the
Counoil moetinq of February 19, was in error. Our current Parks
and Rocreation brochuro (wintorlsprinq i8luo) is, in factI mado
entirely from recycled papor, includinq the Covor. It sour
intont to continuo this practico with future brochuros,
I miqht also add that since wo have qone to the larqor format,
and since we havo established the procedure of lIIai1inq the
brochures to all Iowa City housoholdll, we have rocoivod lIIany
favorable and appreciativo cOlllments,

Dear Council Members.
I 1m very concern.d ov.r the pro!lOS.d choanaolto ItrootlYllem on
Governor Street] Seventh Avenue lInd Summll Slree!. The trllrric plm
Ihow I aUoul alnegard Cor thepreservallon ollllilllng middle income and
mlled Income neighborhoods. ButttllCic planing. plans only Cor ears not
poople.
Several yurs ago the council rezoned thil lire II In II allemptto Improve
It Ind sm rllsldenUal property. In my- opinion this has worked, I have
lOen Ihe Improvement on Ihe Iltetch ril GOvernor rrom Bowery soutb. II
would be detrimental to reverlOthis procoss. You need only look at Dodge
Streelto 10. what Slteel enlaraement Joes to II neighborhood.
Atlbe end 01' Sovenlh there IrO rivo or sil matching brick houses. They
would be areally diminished by being neJlto a seventeen root ramp.
1I0uses like ibis "ill not be bull~ again. They are part or our history.
Enlargement or ~Irkwood, tcokuk, and olber area Slreots wOllld be II
bad Iblng. This doesn't even mention the deSlructlon or houses on Ihe south
side 01' GOvernor. I hive given only a rew ClIImples.
OUr house '1141 build around 1910. Ills whit one "auld think or as a
ordinary mid.west Carm house. But no more 01' Ihese houses will be build,
(Grlllnly not by middle Income rlmlJles. We have received several vlslu
Cram peoplo who "ere raised In our house. They have expressed hap~lnoss
Ibll we hive taken care or Ihe house and Ibal Uie yard Is slllllntact. This Is
what makes Iowa City a pleasant place to live.
.
Whit we neod Is planning Cor the Improvement or the area and Ihe
conllnualJon or pleasant atmosphere or Ibe core or the ellY, notlbe
convenience or the automobile and the degradation or properlY. It will do
1I11le good 10 preserve hlllorlc Sum mlt Slteet while IlIclng Ihe lurround
areas up with laraer streets "hlch wllllct as IrafClc magnets, turning some
blocks fnlo Island. In Ibe mldlt 01' trame.
IC you enlarge II streel and make It more convenient to ltavel as a selC
CUlfllllng prophe~ you "III create mOte trafClc. This Is not Los Angeles and
lurely we CIII ,,101 more IhoughLCul planing avoid similar mlslakes. Ills
easier to plan Cor cars than Cor peCJp.le and qUlllty or life, I know but surely
Ibe time has como to place people rlts\. Some cllles such as Mobhe,Alabama
and Berkeley, Callfornla.41 actually plan neighborhood so that IraCClc does
not come though. fOWl uly luelf has done ibis ror Ibo downtown area by
building a hOlel that blocks Ihough traCClc on Dubuque.

Iowa city city council
civio contor
410 E. washington
Iowa city, IA 52240
Doar council Kemberl.
I am writing to urge you to pro serve my noighborhood and
otherl like it tor the tollowing reasons.
1. Neither the Hummit streot Trattio study nor lublequent
teltimony by Jett Davidlon betore the oounoil (minute. ot 21
January meeting) or betore a meoting ot neighbor. on 14
February, luggest. there il ~ny trattio problem which needa
lolution on summit Htroot.
2. summit stroot wa. and is dOlignod tor arterial trattic.
Thoro aro largo set-backs and largo lots. Nono ot the
alternativo noighborhoods is 10 dosignod. Allot the tront
yards aro small.
3. Bocause tho alternativo noighborhood. woro not dOlignod
tor heavier trattic, widoning at stroots, building ot
bridgel or grado orossings, or oxtending ot stroots would
quito literally destroy thom.
,
4. In th. past the counoil has taken a deoision to put
other value I ovor Imooth trattio tlow. Th. placement at a
hotel in the middle ot Dubuque streot, othorwise a major
north-south corridor, and tho construction at a 0 mall in
downtown Iowa city wore suoh policy deoisions,
5. I have read minutes and proceedings ot tho Iowa city
Hiatorio Preeervation commission and thoro is no evidenco or
reason to suggest that curront levols ot trattio on summit
straIt are detrimental to the neighborhood or its historio
preservation.
6. None at the alternatives diacussed at your 21 January
meeting would reduce summit street trattio on the ottsot
between Bowery and Sheri ton nor between court and Bowery or
sheriton. Those are indopendent sast-wost routos.

Dear Clly Council Members:
I have recenlly become aware of Ihe various proposals 10 deal wllh lhe
aging Summtl Slreel brtdge. Allhls lime, I am qulle alarmed by several of
Ihe proposals lhal have been suggesled, II appears lhal of Ihe four proposals
being considered, IIllle conslderallon Is being given 10 lhe very real needs
of lhe people of lhe area, II Is lhls lack of conslderallon I wish 10 address.
I do nol In lend 10 enler Inlo a dialogue as 10 which proposal will be beller In
the long run, because Ilhlnk Ihe baSIC logic of all of Ihe proposals Is
flawed. There Is an underlying assumpllon Ihalls nol being queslloned, and
1119 lhal very assumpUon whtch musl be addressed. Undemealh all of Ihe
proposals Is Ihe guiding prtnclple lhal we wish 10 ~ Irafflc flow,
lhallhe desired slale of Ihtngs Is 10 encourage Ihe easy flow of Irafftc
lhrough cur neighborhoods, Ins lead of working 10 promo Ie traffic flow, we
should Ins lead be working 10 promole Ihe sanclHy of our neighborhoods, The
enlfre area from Dodge Slreello Sevenlh Avenue Is one of lhe few
remaining decenl, older neighbOrhoods tn lown. We moved 10 Ihts area
because we appreclale lhe relalfve slabllHy and peace of lhls area, The
construcUon of a new arlertal slreel will deslroy Ihal beauly forever as
more and more lrafflc Is attracled 10 a quicker roule across lown. II Is Ume
10 lhlnk of long range planning nol In lerms of Irafflc needs, bulln lerms of
human needs.
I undersland lhal Summll Slreel has received an Increase In Infflc flow. I
also undersland Ihallhls Increase occurred after lhe Counctllook acllon
and crealed a lhree-way slop allhe comer of Summll and Kirkwood.
According 10 Q member of lhe SummH Slreel Hlslortcal Preservalfon
Soclely, lhey have suggesled lhcllhls Ihree-way slop be ellmlnaled. This Is
a very tne~penstve and simple solullon 10 the preservallon of our
neighborhood. Signs could also be posled In lhe neighborhood lhal slow
lrafflc 10 20 miles per hour, and lhe relum 10 a brick slreel would furlher
decrem lrafflc In lhe area, As a dally user of SummH Slreel, I am q
willing 10 pul up wHh Ihese few Inconveniences tn order 10 keep our f

neighborhood Intact. I am not willing 10 enlerta!n any or Ihe other proposals
sInce I believe they are delr1mentalto the way or lire that I value In Iowa
City.
It Is Importanl for us 10 learn 10 accomodate modem technology without a
consequent loss of quality of IIre,l am willing to dr1ve a little further and a
little slower to get where I need to go, and I believe that many others share
this willingness. Part of Ihe charm and beauly of our city Is Ihat we sttll
have beautiful old secllons of town that have not been ruined by Iratrlc and
commercial growlh, It Is elClremely Importantlhat we preserve this beauty, ,
because once It Is gone, It connot be replaced. We can always build more
roods. For now, lei us replace Ihe Summit Slreet br1dge with the thought of
preserving Ihe enllre neighborhood, nol Just one short slreet.
Thank you ror you thoughlrul allentlon to Ihls maller.

PO' The SIJmmll Slreel bndge replacemenl allemallves
Dear Clly Council Member:
Over lhe pasl couple weeks, I have been hear1ng of plans 10 make changes In
lhe arlerlal slreel syslem when the Summll Slreel br1dge comes up for
replacemenl. Of the four allemaUves proposed, one Is ludicrous, lwo are
aelnmenlallo neighborhOOds, and lhe lasl, lhe only sensible one, Is for 1M
slalus quo, It Is Indeed ludicrous 10 presume lhal removing the br1dge and
nol replacing II would be anylhlng bul dlsrupUve 10 lhls enUre area of town
In lerms of lranslt. The mosl promising allernaUve Is the slalus QUo, or a
slight modtflcallon Ihereof. A polenUally dangerous assumpllon underlying
some of lhe allemallves Is lhal Ills highly desirable 10 Increase lrafflc
flow lhrough our neighborhOods, even to lhelr delr1ment. Such an
assumpllon would only serve, If followed, 10 decrease lhe Qualtly of life In
a pretty fine clly,
1 have lived In Ihroe, large melropoltlan arm and I know 1M effecls of
hmy lrafflc In neighborhoods. I also have lhree children living In my
house, which abuls Ihe comer of Sevenlh Ave. and Sevenlh AYe. Ct. While I
Ihlnk the Govemor-KlrkWOod connecUon Is also flawed (almosl'a dozen
hOuses would need 10 be razed), I will confine my commenls 10 lhe Sevenlh
Ave. QuesUon, as Ills the one I am familiar wllh,
The Sevenlh Ave. allemallve Ie flawed for several slgnlflcanl reasons:
_ The rood level would have 10 be raised 17 feel 10 effect on
aI-grade crossing with lhe lracks, necessllallng the
conslrucllon of a ramp, very near old houses on small lots.
_ Seventh Ave. would need 10 be widened, especially ollls
soulhern lermlnus, culling the lols of lhose houses even
further. AddlUonally, grade allhal polnl would be raised 10
such an elllenl thaI tM enUrely of lhose houses mlghl very
well then be below the grade of the rood.
_ The area of lhe railroad lracks allhe end of Seventh AYe. Is
frequenlly used as a swllchlng area, meaning thaI porllons of
trains would block Ihe new roadway I\Self al all lImes of lhe
da~. ThaI'S nolo very efflclenl way to facllllale q
movemenl of lrafflc, f I LEU: ~ '

_ The Increase In traffic would disrupt conllnulty of the
aflecled neighborhoods, Inlroductng Increased noise, as well
~s possIble semllrafllc Ihrough a resldenllal, rather then
commercial, area. Safety concerns should also be
monumental In any such project. Passing such a flow of
Irafftc through old, established neighborhoods would be a
nightmare for parents or small children living nearby.
_ Upon crossIng the tracks, the road would theorettcally link
with Sycamore Street. ThIs would bring It quite close to Ihe
IE substatIon on Lower Huscallne. An employee of IE
indicated thetlt would cost J 104 million dollars to move
the subslatton 10 accommodate Ihe road,
_ There are apparently no federal monies available to flnnnce
such a prolect at Seventh Ave" Ihough such monies are
available to replace the Summit Slreet brIdge.
Regarding the status quo, it would seem sImple enough to remove the three-
way stop sign atlhe comer of KlrI<wood and Summit, and/or even make
SummIt Street one-way between KlrI<wood and Bowery, or even Burlington,
This would rorce grealer uttllzallon of Dodge Slreel, while allowing for Iwo
north-bound one-ways, spaced far enough apart 10 allow for good traffic
flow.
Ultimately, however, Ihls questton Is one of cIty priorities, This town has
shown tremendous growth over Ihe pastlen years, and with that. growth
comes an Increase In traffic. However, If the city declqes that get ling from
here to there In three minutes Instead of four Is more Important then the
preservatIon or established neighborhoodS, there Is something seriously
wrong with Ihe city's prlorlttes, Development can easily take place In those
arm Ihatlhe city ftnds Itself expanding tnto. There Is no reason why older
neighborhoods Should be disrupted or even deslroyed by somll grand scheme
In whIch those nelghbomoods hOld no Inlerest. I hope Ihe council can see
the folly of any alternattve that causes such Immediate and long-term
negattve Impact to our older neighborhoods.

306 HUllin Av.nue
Iowa City
Dear Naolli NovickI
I all writing to expr.ss IIY concorn about traffic planning in
Iowa city. I live in a neighborhood of lIoderat.ly pricod
houses occupied by people of a range of incolles and
occupations. It is a pleasant neighborhood. It, and
lillilar nearby n.ighborhoods are threatened with
d'ltruction by current traffic planning al outlined in the
Summit Street Traffic Study. I all .specially worried about
the luggostions to lake a bridge at the .outh .nd of
Governor Stroet or a grade crolling at 7th.
One of the roascns that Iowa City is a pleasant place to
live and work il that, a. a ccmmunity, it uphold. a variety
of hUllan valuel. One of these should be to pre.erv. and
maintain pl.alant residential neighborhoods. In order to do
thil, it would be necessary to make neighborhood
conlervation rather than traffic flow a primary valu. in
traffic and road planning in the long a. well a. the .hort
term. In order to roalize such a value, the council could
instruct the city traffic engineer to do.ign traffic eYlt.ml
around thil critericn before conlid.ring other valu..;
Roadl Ihould not be w!dentd, bridgo; should not be built,
stre.tl should not be .xtended in luch older n.ighborhood..
Th. council could in.truct the traffic engine.r to .xplor.
alternative lolution. for traffic. Such an approach would
do much to retain the pleasant quality of life in Iowa City,
a quality which il increalingly rare in oth.r cOllluniti.1 in
the United state..
I ask that you put .uch consideratione firlt in your
deliborationl on questions of traffic planning for our
cOlllllunity.

DOllr Ms. Novick,
111m wrillng you with my porsonlll concoms regarding Iho Summil Slrool
Iralflo Sludy and Iho proposod a"ornaUvos. Bolng a homoownor on 921
Sovenlh Avenue Soulh, Ihoso allomaUves have a drOCllmpacl on my homo
and my neighborhood.
Approxlmate~ 3 yoars ago whon looking 10 buy a house, I was ahraC1ed
10 Ihe Sevonth Avenue aroa becauso II was an older part ollown Ihal provlded
a variety 01 medlum.prlced housos In a qulel, won kepI neighborhood. I boughl
my house on Ihe south ond 01 Soventh Avenuo and havo Ie" Pl\l1leular~
lortunate os Iho advanlages 01 Dvlng on a doad ondstrool havo by lar oul
weighed Ihe disadvantages. Subsoquenl~, Iho nollon 01 making Sovonth
Avenue nn arterial streol makos me norvous.
Some ollhelssues thaI concern mo aro Ihelollowlng: Sevonth Avonuo
was never designed 10 be part ollho arterioJ syslom. Sovonlh Avonuels narrow,
and Ihe houses aro buill In close proximity 10 tho slrool. Subsequontly, a brldge
and sidewalks would Impedo already IImllod Ironl yards lor many housos,
would necessllale romoval 01 numerous maluro Irees, and dotract consldorably
lrom Ihe aoslhellcs ollhe neighborhood, Property values would groatly
diminish, making Illhal much more dllflcun lor those looking 10 buy medium
priced housing. Salety Issuos aro anothor ImportanllaC1or whon consldoring
funnonng lralflc Ihrough an aroa that simply was nol moa.nllo accommodale II.
My quosllons to Iho councll mombors aro:
(1) "Summll Strool doos nol havo an oxlsllng problom with congosllon
or saloty concorns, why croato this problom elsowhero?
(2) Can anorallons In Iho curronl Morial systom bo consldorod Ursl?
Changing Iho oxlsllng systom may solvo Iho problom wlthoultho oxponso ollhe

(3) What Is really tho priority here? How qulck~ ono can Ira vol across
