The City, eet design g of Muscatine s str standards are explicit, that a minimum of ,44 foot street width for an arterial street. But, in the case of Muscatine Aveis required in the case of Rochester Avenue, the City ,Council nue and recently decided ato construct what are clearly arterial streets to less than arterial street design standards. Future councils will be locked in because of those decisions and will likely face controversial widening decisions in much the same way you are having to face Melrose Avenue, Burlington and Muscatine. Wouldn't it, have been better if prior councils had constructed those streets, and 1st Avenue and Benton Street, to arterial street design standards-?. By copy of this letter; I am asking the Iowa Department of Transpor- tation and the Federal Highway Administration to review carefully, their financial participation in the Muscatine Avenue project as, Part of the Federal Aid to the Urban Systems Program. Federal and State aid should be reserved for cities that construct streets to arterial street standards, and not used to construct streets that will result in an arterial system that is discontinuous and inadequate. In discussing my concern with Mr. Plastino, I am Persuaded three -lane section between Wade and Scott Boulevard suaded that a would preferable to a four -lane section.- However, I am not persuaded by the greater efficiency, of the three -lane section, but by the constraint of a 68 foot right-of-way. Either a,three or four -lane section is preferable to a two-lane section with median.
