DORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES t4iuWriLMLU by JORM MICROLAO CEDAR RAPIDS AND 'DES (-) City of Iowa Corky MEMORANDUM Date: October 25, 1978 To: City Council From: Neal G. Berlin, City Manager Re: Arterial 518 Alignment Commentary The compromise alignment for Freeway 518 proposed by the Iowa Department of Transportation located between the City's desired alignment and the original IDOT alignment presents some advantages to the City over the original IDOT proposal. The compromise alignment will afford the City more room for development in the Willow Creek watershed east of the proposed freeway. Also the compromise alignment is located a greater distance from the existing development occurring in Ty'n Cae Subdivision and would result in lesser amounts of noise and air pollution for people living in that area. The same conditions would apply to West High School because the freeway would be located 2,000 to 3,000 feet further west. Another advantage would be that the proposed elementary and junior high school/park sites would not be immediately threatened by the freeway. Also, the County Home would be located completely east of the freeway. The disadvantages of this alignment include the inability of the City to most effectively utilize all of the land in the Willow Creek watershed (an objection raised by the City to the original IDOT alignment) and a greater amount of noise and air pollution for those developed parts of Iowa City which are west of Mormon Trek Boulevard. While the compromise alignment would allow development to occur within the watershed to some extent, many of the problems enumerated in the letter of September 28 to the IDOT Commission still exist, i.e., in- ability to provide efficient transit, police, fire and refuse services. The IDOT compromise alignment locates the interchange with Highway 1 only a slight distance west of the original IDOT alignment. The State considers this an absolute necessity so that traffic entering Iowa City from the south will use Freeway 518/Highway 1 instead of using Highway 218. Highway 218 south of Iowa City is a highway with a very low suf- ficiency rating and a high accident rate. Thus, the State will show an intense interest in locating the interchange with Highway 1 as close to Iowa City as possible. This will have a direct relationship on how far to the west the State is willing to push the alignment. The conditions affecting the Melrose Avenue interchange change as the alignment is moved west from the original IDOT alignment. Under the compromise alignment or the City's proposed alignment, the interchange at Melrose is outside of the City limits.

The City's major concern '+ MICROHLMED BY JORM MICR#L-AB t CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES ,. Mil,tWU iLNLU BY JORM MICROLAD CEDAR RAPIDS AND OE I i 2 �. should be commercial development around the interchange and along the frontage road which will connect Melrose Avenue with a north -south County road in the Coralville area. There should be extensive dis- cussions between the City and State regarding the necessity for the frontage road since it is likely intensive commercial development may develop along the frontage road. The Melrose Avenue interchange itself, without commercial development, will generate only a minimal amount of additional traffic on Melrose east of Sunset since vehicles will take alternate routes in the absence of the interchange but will end up at approximately the same location with or without the interchange. Dis- cussions with the State should concern trade-offs between construction of a frontage road and construction of the Melrose Avenue interchange. Essentially, it looks as though the compromise alignment will provide at least part of the benefits that would accrue to the City if the City's Comprehensive Plan alignment was adopted. jm3/22 +i I 1 i MICROFILMED BY ' DORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i i Mil,tWU iLNLU BY JORM MICROLAD CEDAR RAPIDS AND OE I i 2 �. should be commercial development around the interchange and along the frontage road which will connect Melrose Avenue with a north -south County road in the Coralville area.

He asked if there were any areas where the Council and IDOT could come to agreement. He complimented the City on its extensive, excellent planning. He stated that the State would delay construction of the interchange at Melrose, but would provide the right-of-way, and would grade for the ramps. Later construction costs would be assumed by the State. He explained the technical reasons why the Highway'I intersection could not be moved. Concerning the westerly alignment proposed by the City, he discussed environmental factors which would necessitate a new Environmental Impact Statement, a time delay of two years.
